Nessie was sitting on her bed, just thinking about her last mission, that she had just gotten back from. One of the problems that they were having was, that people were disappearing from the town. Well, Nessie had solved that mystery for the people. It happened one night, when she could not sleep. She got up, went outside and that was when she saw them. A couple was sneaking out of the town, and when she followed them, she watched them get on a ship. One thing that she also noticed, was that the couple was carrying bags with them, as they boarded the ship. She watched it take off and she made her way back to the town, to her room and to bed. When morning came, she told Orcus what was going on, and he was glad to know that they were going to find a new life, on another planet.
“ Are you ready to head out to the Senate Building?” Lucas came into the room.
“ Oh, morning. Um, yeah. So, am I going to sit with any of the Senators today?” Nessie looked up at Lucas.
“ No. Believe it or not, the Jedi do have a seat in the Senate. Two Jedi Masters and their Padawans Learners have to sit in for a whole month. It is our turn to sit in, along with Obi-Wan and Anakin.” Lucas went over to his bed and picked up his robe and put it on.
“ Great. So, you think I could stop by one of the Senator’s offices, before going into the Senate Chambers?” Nessie stood up, grabbed her robe and put it on. Then, reached down and clipped on her lightsaber to her belt.
“ Sure. We can stop by Senator Amidala’s office.” Lucas also clipped on his lightsaber to his belt.
“ Am not going to see her. It is another Senator. I am sorry, if I cannot tell you who it is at the moment. Am trying to keep him safe, you know what I mean?” Nessie walked over to the door and opened it up.
“ Yes, I do understand. So, let us get moving, because we do not want to be late.” Lucas followed his Padawan Learner out of the room and to the turbo-lift that will be taking them to the hanger bay, so that way, they could get a speeder that will take them over to the Senate Building.
Stepping out of the turbo-lift, they walked across the hanger bay towards their speeder. There was one of the civil workers, standing next to the speeder, just as he finished fueling it up for the Jedi.
“ Good morning, Master Lucas, Padawan Nessie. Your speeder is now ready, and I hope that you two have a great day.” the civil Worker greeted the two Jedi, as they came up to the speeder.
“ Good morning, Tymmye. Thank you, and you too have a great day.” Lucas greeted the man, and shook his hand.
They got into the speeder and took off for the Senate Building, for a very long day of listening to the Senators, just arguing over nothing most of the time.
“ Good morning, Master Lucas. Who do we have here? Senator Ami . . .” the guard started to say, but then she realized that the young girl was not the Senator from Naboo.
“ This is my new Padawan Learner, Nessie . . . Yes, she does look a little like the young Senator from Naboo.” Lucas looked over to his Padawan and put a hand on her shoulder, before giving her a huge smile.
“ The only difference between us is she would not really dress down, if she did not have too.” Nessie gave a small laugh, as she remembered all the fancy gowns and even her day clothes were fancy too.
After they went through the security, they headed up to the second floor, that only a few Senators were lucky enough to have their offices. There were only two that Nessie cared about, that was here: Senator Amidala of Naboo and His Royal Highness Alexander Wilson-Solo of Corellia, or as he is known here, as Senator Alex of Corellia. He is her older brother.
“ Ok, where to now? The Senator of Naboo is this way, about four doors down from the Supreme Chancellor’s office.” Lucas motioned for the way to Amidala’s office.
Yes, I know. The office that I need is this way.” Nessie looked down the hall that Lucas motioned to, but she motioned for the opposite way.
Nessie started walking down the hallway, until she came up to the door that she needed.
“ I am sorry, but the Senator is not seeing anyone at the moment. Please come back after the Senate Session is over with ,later this afternoon.” the Office Aide looked at the two people, who just came into the room.
“ I understand that, but I do know that he will see me. Can you please let him know that I would like to see him now?” Nessie looked at the Aide and also noticed that the office door was slightly open.
“ We are trying to get ready for the Senate Session that will start in ten minutes. I have to ask you to make an appointment for later today or tomorrow morning, before he goes into Session.” the Aide looked at both Jedi, not even noticed that there was a figure standing in the Senate’s office doorway.
“ What is going on here? I did not ask the Jedi Council to send me a couple of Jedi to . . . Nessie! You are ok! Mom has been so worried about you.” the man came up to Nessie, pulled her into his arms and gave her a huge hug.
“ Hey, bro. Yes, I am fine and I will let Mom know that I am fine. No, wait.They will not let me do that, because the Jedi here are really more strict, then they are back home.” Nessie returned her brother’s hug. She was glad to have the feelings of having the warmth of family love, wrapping around her.
“ Yeah, that is what I have heard. Oh, hello, Master Lucas. I take it that the Jedi Council has made you take on a Padawan, and that Padawan is my baby sister.” the Senator looked over Nessie’s shoulder and saw the Jedi Master standing behind her.
“ Hello, Alex. Yes, they told me that I was going to get a Padawan and yes, she is my Padawan Learner.” Lucas came up to the Senator and shook his hand.
“ That is great to hear. You better take great care of my sister here. Well, I must leave for the Senate Chamber.” Senator Alex looked at both Jedi, before he looked at the clock on the wall.
“ We understand and we too need to head over there. We are going to be here in the Senate, for the whole month or when we do not have a mission to go on.” Lucas nodded, as he too noticed the time.
“ That is great news. Oh, you two should have dinner with me and Sophia this weekend.” Alex grabbed the case that had a few things that was going to need for the Senate Session today.
“ Sure, that sounds great.” Lucas nodded the ok that they would be there for dinner.
“ Great. Dinner will be served around six and we are at 500 Republica Building. We are in one of the Penthouse apartments.” Alex walked out of the office and into the hallway.
The two Jedi nodded, before turning away and began heading the opposite direction from the Senator. Walking through the door that lead to the Jedi’s floating Senate seats, they stepped onto the floating disk and sat down in the seats. They had just got all settled in their seats, just when Obi-Wan and Anakin stepped onto the floating disk. Anakin sat down next to Nessie, while the two Jedi Masters sat down in front of them. Nessie looked around the Senate Chamber and watched the Senators coming into the chamber and taking their seats. There was one figure that really caught her attention: Senator Amidala of Naboo. As always, she was looking high and mighty, almost like she is better than everybody. In reality, if you really got to know the Senator, you would find out that she is a very caring person and would do anything for anybody. When she is not working, she wants you to call her by her real name, which is Padme.
All of a sudden, the room got very cold, or it was the feeling that Nessie was picking up on, but that was not all. There was also a very dark and evil presence, that was coming closer and closer. She saw the platform in the middle of the Chamber come up, Looking at the platform, the dark and evil figure stood and to her surprise, the evil figure was none other than Supreme Chancellor . . . Palpatine.
