Loved the bit with the pudding.  Palpatine made great target practice for Mara...even then.  Too bad it was just pudding.

Wonderful!
Loved the pudding. But poor Marani. It was far too easy (and painful) to make her forget. 
Thankee for the PM! More, please!

Aw, mean Palpatine. Thanks god he's dead anyway.
The revelation is interesting. So does that means there is a mental link between the two sisters? Would not be a surprise.
I kind of enjoys the story since it's just different compared to many fan fictions on this forum, which are about actions or "what if" situations. I never saw many "drama/family love" stories, so that is one reason why I like the story.

I like how Mara was still connected to her family, even without any of them knowing. I'd like to think maybe it's that way for her, even in pro-fic.
Great update!

Palpatine smiled as he watched the little girl eat her snack. It had been the first thing she had asked for upon their arrival in the palace, so he had complied with the request.
Little Marani smiled guilelessly at him, got a heaping spoonful of pudding on her spoon, and flung it at him when he looked away for a moment.
Startled, Palpatine stared at the child. "What was that for?"
----------------
Later, after the pain subsided and her mind no longer burned, the child blinked her eyes open to find... a man she did not know sitting on a chair looking at her. "Hi."
The man nodded to her. "Hello, Mara. You really shouldn't run around like that. Accidents will happen."
"Did I fall?" Mara asked as she sat up on the bed and looked around the sparsely decorated room.
"Yes."
Mara tilted her head to the side for a moment, studying him. "Do I... know you?"
"You do, child. My name is Palpatine, and I'm your caretaker."
"Palpat?" Mara tried to say it, but it came out wrong. She looked at him hopefully.
Palaptine smiled at her. "It's a start." He held out a hand and she gingerly took it. "Are you hungry, child?"
Mara nodded eagerly. "Yes."
"Then let's go see what we have in the kitchens, shall we?"
And just like that, she was his.
 Hmm, you know, that was the first time I’ve actually thought of Sid as somewhat human. Really strange.
Amazing update but that was an evil cliffie, who was she and what is she up to? I can’t wait to read more so please update soon .

Hmmm...
A voice speaks up behind her, she turns... and smiles in recognition.
This just begs for an evil laugh--Mwahahahahaha...
Great post--I can't wait to find out what happens!
Could you please add me to the pm list? Thanx,
~Kass~

Loved Palpatine getting the pudding thrown in his face.
"That could have been a memory trying to resurface." Widia stopped a moment and thought about it some more. "Wait... five years ago? Renna was on a reconstruction project in the southern hemisphere around then. The project leader told me that she woke up screaming on more than one occasion. You wouldn't happen to know why, would you?"
Mara looked away, wincing. "Something bad happened. If Renna asks, I'll talk to her about it."
Uh-oh..  And I wonder who the mysterious old woman is...
Great update, Daena! I can't wait to read more!

The shadows enveloped her warmly, like an old, comfortable, cloak. As she stood there, looking out at the activity of the busy spaceport that was at once familiar and different, she felt a presence near that she couldn't identify.
She pulled her tattered robe closer, uncertain why the presense felt so... familiar? Then a tenative voice spoke up from behind her. "Hello?"
Slowly, she turned to look... and smiled in recognition. "Jedi?"
Luke stared at her. "Vima?"
"Jedi! Is good to see you! Vima know!" Vima-Da-Boda looked down at the young boy who was openly staring at her. "Little Jedi."
"Daddy know?" Ben asked uncertainly when he found his voice.
"Yes, Ben, I know her. Vima, would you like to come with us? The Falcon is over there." He waved a hand in the general direction of the spaceport.
Vima nodded, and they set off for the Falcon.
Chewie was working on something underneath the ship when they arrived, and he waved them on.
As they boarded, Luke helped Vima walk up the ramp. "Han, you'll never guess who we found."
"I won't?" Han asked as he passed by the boarding ramp with a coil of wire. He stopped and stared at the woman in the tattered robes. "Vima? What are you doing here?"
"Family," Vima said simply. She smiled at Luke. "Thankyou, young Jedi."
"Family?" Luke asked. "You have family on Naboo?"
Vima nodded. "The force, it drew me here. Said family was here."
Luke wasn't sure how to reply to that, and instead turned to look at Han. He stopped short upon realizing something was missing. "Oh. Nevermind. You already did."
"Didn't want to get it dirty," Han muttered. He glanced at Vima. "Family, hmm?"
Vima nodded. "Force said there was need. Don't know what need is."
"Han? Mara said you could go back with us if you wanted."
Han shook his head. "No. I'm working on the ship. Tell her I said thanks, though." He looked at Luke quizically. "Anything interesting happen?"
"Lots. On top of everything else, her sister in law is having a baby."
"Huh? As in pregnant?"
"No. As in right now. She's in labor." Luke almost chuckled at the flummoxed expression on Han's face. "Still want to stay on the ship and do repairs?"
"Yes."
"Okay." Luke turned and herded Vima and Ben back down the ramp. "See you later, then."
Han waited until they were out of sight before snorting to himself and returning to repairs.
TBC...

So it was Vima. This will be interesting!
"No. As in right now. She's in labor." Luke almost chuckled at the flummoxed expression on Han's face. "Still want to stay on the ship and do repairs?"
"Yes."
Han is such a smart man.
