Chapter 15

Padme was sitting at the dining table, just pushing the food around on her plate.

“ Hey, Padme. Welcome back, we have missed you.” Jayson said, as he and Brehnt sat down at the table.

“ Oh, hey, guys. Thanks. So, did your Masters go to Geonosis?” Padme looked over to the Padawans, sitting down at her table with her.

“ No, all of us was on different missions, and we could not get to Geonosis in time.” Audri sat down next to Padme.

“ That is good news. Um . . . what is wrong with Allyn?” Padme looked over to the lone figure sitting by himself.

“ Oh . . . well, his Master is wounded and is still in the healing hall.” Hilarey took a bite of her mush.

“ Oh, man. Maybe, I should go and say something to him.” Padme took a sip of her Caf. “ If I was you, I would stay away from him at the moment.” Brehnt looked at a couple of Jedi Padawans that look their way and glared at them.

“ Ok and why would that be bad?” Padme asked.

“ Well, because at the moment, he is upset with us. First, because our Masters were not there at the Battle and second, there are a lot of Padawans that will be mad at you and Master Obi-Wan for starting the war.” Audri said.

“ Oh, I see. Well, they shouldn’t blame us. We were just doing a job and the end result ended in a battle. Look, am wasn’t the one who found out, who was behind the whole assassination attempt on the Senator of Naboo.” Padme said.

“ We know that, and you too were hurt during that Battle and your Master did find the Separatists Droid Factory.” Hilarey looked over to Master Kenobi, as he came into the dining hall.

“ Yeah and I still have a deep scar from that creature. So, what do you have planned for the day?” Padme looked over to Obi-Wan, who went to get his food.

“ All of us are heading over to the Senate Building and will be working with a Senator.” Jayson took a sip of his juice.

“ Really? So, what Senators do you have?” Padme asked and hoped that her today’s assignment was to go to the Senate Building too and if so, she could work with Anakin.

“ I have the Senator from Alderaan. Um . . . the Senator Organa.” Audri finished her breakfast.

“ He is a nice person. You would like him.” Padme looked at Obi-Wan.

“ I have Senator Mon Monthma.” Jayson also finished his drink.

“ I have the Senator from Corellia.” Brehnt put his spoon into the empty bowl.

“I will be working on a project, so I will be in the Archives.” Hilarey looked over to her Master, who motioned for her that it was time to go.

“ What about you, Padme?” Jayson asked.

“ Am not sure at the moment. Well, at the moment, I’m going back to my quarters to meditate for a while.” Padme got up with the others and headed for her quarters.

On her way to the turbo-lift, her thoughts were on Anakin. She had not seen him in two weeks. After they came to Coruscant, her and Obi-Wan have been on a mission. Now, that she is back here, she learns that Anakin is about to leave in two days, to head off to a planet in the Outer Rim and have them sign a Peace Treaty. Going into her room, she found her meditation mat and laid it out, before sitting down on it. Thirty minutes later, Obi-Wan came into the room.

“ Get your stuff ready. We are about to head out.” Obi-Wan looked down at Padme.

“ Ok. Where are we going this time?” Padme stood up.

“ Going with Senator Skywalker.” was all Obi-Wan said.

Padme went to the closet, grabbed her bag and began packing. She had a huge smile on her face, because she will get to spend some time with her husband.
