After a very stormy night, the morning came with heavy fog rolling through the mountains and a light mist across the lake.
The cry of the loon could be heard echoing across the lake and up into the open window.
" Good morning, Milady. Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes." the maid saidm as she was bustling around the room.
Padme sat up and rubbed her eyes before stretching. " Thank you, Khrystle." Padme got up out of bed and headed for her refresher.
Twenty minutes later, she was downstairs sitting at the dining table with her parents and best friend, Sabe`.
" So, Sabe`, what are you doing now?" Padme said, as she took a bite out of her pastry. " Because I know that you are not working here on Naboo."
" Um... I'm working off world at the moment." Sabe` looking down, hoping that Padme doesn't get upset, when she hears the news. " Well, I'm working on Alderaan now."
" Cool. Well, I'm done here. Why don't we go into town and get a few things?" Padme stood up and motioned for Sabe` to follow her.
" That sound like a great idea." Sabe` smiled, as they walked out of the house.
" I thought we could spend the day together and I also need to pick up a few things, before heading to Coruscant." Padme slipped her arm through her friend's arm and they headed off to the small town.
Ten minutes later, both girls were walking the streets and looking into the windows of a couple of shops.
" So, you're working on Alderaan? That's great! I was so worried about you and if you there was going to a job that you wanted." Padme stopped at a little cafe`.
" Well, it's a good job and am also seeing someone. He is very sweet and I love him." Sabe` said, as they went into the cafe`.
" Oh my gods, you have a boyfriend! I'm so happy for you!" Padme almost squalled. " So, what is he like and what does he do?"
" Well he is tall, dark wavy hair, blue eyes, and he is a little muscular built." Sabe` sat down at one of the small tables. " He is a doctor, and I met him, while we were working with some refugees on the Outer Rim."
" Wow, he sounds like someone from my dreams." Padme picked up the small menu that was on the table. " So, does this guy have a name?"
" Yes, Cayden." was all Sabe`said, as the waiter came up to them.
They ordered their teas and small pastries, as they continued talking about Sabe's doctor boyfriend.
" I know there is something else that you're not telling me, Sabe`." Padme sipped on her tea.
" Well, the past couple of days, I have been thinking about you. Then I realized that I miss my old life, as your handmaiden, bodyguard and decoy and the times we would have slumber parties in your private quarters." Sabe` took a small bite out of her cream puff.
" Yeah, I miss those days too, but I know there was something that has you frightened, because you wouldn't have flown all the way here from Alderaan." Padme looked at her friend and could see that what she said was true, there was something that had truly frightened Sabe`
" Ok, you're right. I had a vision and it had something to do Coruscant. An explosion and then some type of creatures that were highly poisonous that was coming after you." Sabe` looked at Padme and tears welled in her eyes. " I have a feeling that you are going to die."
" Yes, I know, and I promise you, that I will be very careful. If it makes you feel better, then I will keep my new bodyguards, handmaidens and decoys very close by me." Padme gave Sabe's hand a lightly squeeze.
" Ok, thanks. If something happens, please let me know." was all Sabe` said, as they finished up their teas and cream puffs.
Thirty minutes later, they began to head back to the house, due to the storm was coming through again. Once they were back at the house, Sabe` was saying goodbye to the Naberrie's and headed back to the transport station and back to Alderaan.
Later that night, Padme went to bed and mostly tossed and turned half the night, because she couldn't really sleep, due to the visions that Sabe` had about her.
