Searching For You

Chapter 20: Naboo's Greeting

Rey's POV:

I take the pilot seat back from Chewie so I fly the Falcon to the back of the palace towards a small landing pad just as Ben instructed. "This is the Millennium Falcon requesting permission to land," I say over the headset. "What's your docking code?" A scruffy male voice replies. "Docking code number is 72363," I say as I hold my breath waiting for his reply. "Proceed to dock number 2643252. Once docked please send the elected ruler bloodline or married in the party to the greeting party for verification." A different person responds. Once we land I tell everyone to get their stuff ready but not to leave just yet.

When we exit the Falcon I get a lot of strange looks from the greeting party. "Jedi Rey, we were not expecting you. Your docking code is only valid for blood relatives and people directly married into the bloodline." One of the women explained. "I understand and I do apologize for the last-minute trip, I hope our arrival isn't too untimely. I am connected to the bloodline through the child I am carrying." Everyone has a surprising look on their face. Almost instantly we are moved to a more private area and a security screen is up, they use a probe like thing to check on my child and to see if I am telling the truth. Within a matter of minutes, they have the confirmation that everything is in order and the curtain comes down. "Lady Rey, how may we be of service to you." The same girl from earlier asks. "I am currently planning on staying for the next two days If it is not too much trouble my crew and I need a place to stay for the time being," I explain. "Of course we are more than happy to take care of your every need. Anything else we can help you with?" She asks. "We could use a guide to help us navigate the city. I also will require access to the bloodline vault and help to take some of the items from the vault and move them into our ship." I hold my breath one more time. "Of course, I will have this arranged at once. However your crew is not allowed to come to the vault with you, only family members of elected bloodline and a select few castle staff members are allowed." She explains. Once they have finished going over the extent of our stay we begin. The Naboo royal family's greeters guide Finn, Chewie, and BB-8 to their rooms as I follow one of the women from the greeting party to the vault.
