Padme woke to the sound of someone moving around in her bedroom.
Opening up one of her eyes, she saw that it was Dorme and she came out of the closet with one of her flight suites.
" Padme, it's time to get up. We need to get ready to head out in thirty minutes." Dorme said, coming up to the bed.
" I'm up, Dorme. Can you get me something that I can eat on the go and tea, while I go into the refresher." Padme said, getting up out of the bed and headed for the refresher.
" Yes, ma'am. I can do that and I'll fix myself something too." Dorme said, before leaving the room.
Padme when into the shower and let the hot water cascade down her body. As she stood there, her mind began to wonder who she was going to meet later today, and why wouldn't Master Windu tell her who she was meeting. Maybe, it was because he was protecting them, and even her. After all, they are doing this without the Chancellor knowing about it, and they had to wait until the he was off the planet.
The water was starting to get cold, so Padme got out of the shower, wrapped her towel around herself,before heading back into her bedroom. Going over to her bedroom, she got dressed in her flight suit, before heading out into the living room and saw Dorme holding out a toasted pastry and her cup of tea.
" We need to get going now. Corde is waiting for us at the landing platform, along with Captain Typho." Dorme said, as one of the security guards came in and took both Padme and Dorme's bags to the air shuttle.
" Ok, lets go. Man, this is good." Padme said, as they followed the guard out of the apartment and down to the platform.
" Good morning, Milady. Everything is ready for us and I have the location right here." Captain Typho said, as he helped the ladies into the air shuttle.
Once everyone was on board the shuttle, it took off and headed straight to the Jedi Temple. Ten minutes later, they were landing on one of the landing platforms that are used only for the members of the Jedi Order.
" Senator Amidala, I want to personally thank you for doing this for us." Master Windu said, coming up to them and helping Padme out of the shuttle.
" Master Windu, it's nice to see you again, and you are welcome. I'm more than honored to help out the Jedi any way I can." Padme said, as she bowed her head to Master Windu.
" No, we are honored to have someone, who can help us out." Windu said, as he bowed, then noticed that she wasn't alone.
" Before you say anything, I can't go anywhere without my bodyguards or security. I hope that won't be a problem" Padme said, looking over at her two handmaidens and Captain Typho.
" No, that's fine and I understand. I did inform the Rollians that you would have a couple people with you, just acting as bodyguards and security. They were happy to have them come with you." Master Windu said, as he began to lead them over to the transport that would take them to the Outer Rim Territories.
They got to the transport and they said goodbye to each other and the small group went up the ramp and into the ship.
" Good morning, Senator. I'm Captain Ferlow. If you follow me, I can show you to your quarters." the young lady said, as greeted the small group.
" Hello, Captain. Yes, that would be nice. I take it, that it will take us couple days to get to the Outer Rim." Padme said, as she followed the young Captain.
" Yes, ma'am. It will take us two days to get there. Well, here is your quarters, and your two handmaidens are next door. I hope that the Captain here, doesn't mind bedding down with the guards." The Captain said, as they stopped in front of the door that was Padme's room.
" Thank you, Captain. Well, I think I'm going to go and lay down and sleep for a couple of hours. Girls, you too, go get some sleep, and Typho you too." Padme said to her small group.
Everyone said good night, so to speak and went their separate ways. Once Padme was in her room, she closed and locked the door. Taking off her clothes and putting on her nightclothes, she climbed into the bed and fell asleep, just as the ship began to lift off the ground and head off towards the Outer Rim Territories and to the two people who Padme would never have thought to see again.
