" So, where are we going for lunch?" Corde asked, as she looked out one of the windows.
" I was thinking that we will go to the place that we went for dinner last night. That is, if it's ok with you, Padme." Dorme said, looking over to Padme and saw that she was looking at something else out of the window.
" Um... what? ... Sorry, I was thinking about something. Did you say something about going to the same place for lunch or something like that?" Padme said, as she turned away from the window.
" Yes, I was telling Corde that we were going to the same place that we went to last night for dinner." Dorme said.
" Ok, that sound good to me." was all Padme said as she turned back to the window.
The air shuttle dropped out air traffic and began to slow down, as the driver came upon the street that the diner was on. Once the shuttle was close by, the driver did a slow fly by, to search for a parking space near the diner. Finding a space to park the shuttle, the driver shut down the engine and got up from his seat and opened the door for the three ladies that is in his care.
" Have a great lunch, ladies." the driver said, as he helped the small group out of the shuttle.
" Thank you, Thomys." Dorme said, as she, Corde took their places next to Padme, and they began walking towards the small diner.
They walked to the door and Corde opened it up and Dorme walked in first, followed by Padme, then Corde brought up the rear.
" Afternoon, ladies. Just find a seat and I'll be with you shortly." the human server said, with a warm smile.
Padme just nodded, as she was walking to the booth that she and Dorme sat at the night before. She passed a small group of guys that were dressed in Jedi robes, but she looked closer at one of them and realized that they were Padawans, because of the braids that they had in their hair. As she looked at the group, there was one of the them that she could have sworn reminded her of a person that she keeps having dreams about, but of course, this person sitting in front of her, was a young man of nineteen.
" Um ... Padme, come on to our seat." Dorme whispered to Padme.
" Um... Ok." Padme said, as she followed Dorme to the booth.
Sitting down, they began looking through the menu and Padme decided on the Nerf burger. As Padme sat there and ate, she kept her eyes on the very handsome Padawan. She began to wonder what Anakin would look like now. She hadn't even seen nor heard anything from him in ten years. She even began to wonder, if he was still training to be a Jedi, because she did hear that the Jedi Council had refused his training, all because he was too old. Twenty minutes later, the Padawans got up, left the restaurant and headed back to the Temple.
" Um... You think you can join us here at the table, now that they are gone? I noticed that you kept looking at one of them" Dorme said, as she watched the four Padawans get into a speeder and sped off towards the Temple.
" Oh, sorry about. I swear I know one of them that's all. The last time I saw him, he was a nine year old boy." Padme said.
" I see. He isn't the one that saved Naboo?" Corde said.
" Yes, that is the one." was all Padme said.
The other girls just nodded, as they remember that day. They were praying that they wouldn’t get separated from their families, as the Separatists were breaking up families and sending them to different detention camps.
" Well, I don't know about you, but I think we should head home and get some rest before dinner." Corde said, as she finished her drink.
" I agree. lets head back home. I do have a couple of things that I need to work on." Padme said.
The girls got up from the booth and headed out of the diner and over to the air shuttle, where their driver was waiting for them. Once back on the shuttle, Thomys flew them towards their apartments, so that way, the girls could rest until dinner. The shuttle landed on the platform and waiting for them, was Captain Typho and couple of security guards.
" Glad to see that you are back safely, Milady. There was an intruder at the senate building about thirty minutes ago." Typho said, as he looked over to the two bodyguards.
" I see. Well, we were not there Captain, so you don't have to worry. If you must know, we were having lunch." Dorme said, giving the Captain a dirty look. " I'm sorry, Mistress Dorme. I didn't know. I tried to contact you and Mistress Corde." Typho returned Dorme's look.
" Sorry. I didn't want anyone to interrupted our lunch. We were in a place that I didn't want anyone know who we were. Do I make myself clear, Captain?" Dorme sai,d before she headed off towards the entrance of the building.
" Yes, ma'am. I understand." was all he could say, as he watched the three girls go into the building.
They rode the turbo-lift up to the penthouse in silence, as they were trying to figure out who could want to break into the senate building. When the doors opened up, they walked into the apartment and even went their separate ways. Dorme, going into the kitchen to make herself and Corde some tea, before they had a small meeting with the rest of the handmaidens. Padme went into her room, going over to the windows and looking across the city and saw the five spirals of the Jedi Temple. With a heavy sigh, she closed the window blinds, before taking off her dress. Once she was in her underwear, she walked over to the bed and pulled back the covers. Climbing into bed and laying down, before pulling just the sheets over her, she closed her eyes, so that way, she could take a little nap.
