thanks Kim.

After this was over, Obi-Wan joined us in the cockpit for the rest of the journey. I could tell he was jittery and unsure. Panaka joined us a few minutes later.

“The blockade’s gone” he said, surprise escaping from his voice.

Obi-Wan looked at him. “The war’s over; there’s no need for it now.”

Ric Olie shook his head. “I have one battleship on my scope. It’s a”

“Droid control ship” Obi-Wan finished.

“Then they’ve probably spotted us.” Panaka grimly said.

Obi-Wan nodded slightly. “We haven’t much time.” He looked over at me; I was sitting in one of the chairs with Anakin on my lap. I just shrugged my shoulders and looked out the cockpit window.

A\N: I haven't written much more past this point but inspiration hasn't been present lately.

The Naboo cruiser lands in the Gungan swamp, in the heart of Naboo. We all got off and followed Jar Jar to a heavily wooded area where he left us to go underwater to try to find his people. Meanwhile, the rest of us waited.

“Jar Jar is on his way to the Gungan city, Master” obi-Wan said as he walked up beside Qui-gon, occasionally looking behind him at me.

Qui-gon was staring off in the distance, his thoughts turned to ones of war…and me. “Good.”

There’s silence between them for a minute. “Do you think the Queen’s idea will work?” Obi-Wan asked.

“The Gungans will not easily be swayed” He said, then added as an afterthought “And we cannot use our power to help her.”

Obi-Wan looked at him and sensed his thoughts. But he didn’t approach it at the moment. “I’m…I’m sorry for my behavior Master. It is not my place to disagree with you about the boy. And I am grateful you think I’m ready for the trials.”

Qui-gon turned to look at Obi-Wan, his thoughts distracted. He placed a hand on Obi-Wan’s shoulder. “You have been a good apprentice Obi-Wan. You are a much wiser man than I am. I foresee you will become a great Jedi Knight.” He looked over at me. “And don’t let anything slip out of your fingers; especially if it’s worth holding on to.” His gaze never turned away from me, which I wasn’t paying attention to him or Kenobi.If I had known that both of them were looking at me, I might have been blushing. But I wasn’t looking at either of them. I had a feeling that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan both were developing an attraction for me but I just shrugged it off. What should I care?

she doesn't *or won't* have the same attraction to Qui-gon that he has to her; her feelings are more for Kenobi but you have to wait for that. wink

I always try to throw you curveballs, Kim. mischief


? Obi-Wan looked at him curiously.

“Master?”

“Never mind, Obi-Wan” Qui-Gon said, turning back to Obi-Wan as Jar Jar walked up.

“Dare-sa nobody dare. Some kinda fight, mesa tink.” Jar Jar said.

Qui-Gon thought a moment. “Do you think they have been taken to the camps?”

Panaka leaned over to Qui-Gon and said, “More likely they were wiped out.”

Jar Jar shook his head. “Mesa no tink so. When in trouble, Gungans go to sacred place. Mesa show you, come on mesa show you!”

He headed off back into the group towards the hiding place of the Gungans. We waited for the Jedi and the Queen to follow him before following Jar Jar ourselves. Obi-Wan was directly in front of me. I wasn’t paying attention and I tripped over a root in the ground; Obi-Wan turned around, as did Qui-gon and both caught my arms. They helped me back to my feet but neither released my arms.

“Um, thanks.” I said trying to get them to release me. Qui-gon was the first to let go and he turned away. Obi-Wan didn’t seem to get the message though, so I pulled my arm out of his hand and walked by him, Anakin following behind me. Obi-Wan shook his head and was the last to get to the Gungans’ sacred place.

I thought Jar Jar was a strange creature, but imagine being surrounded by lots more Gungans…it’s interesting to say the least; especially the chief Gungan Boss Nass.

“Jar Jar Binks. Who’s da uss-en others?”

Queen Amidala stepped forward. Obi-Wan caught up with us and joined Qui-gon, myself and Anakin at the front. I was in-between the two of them; not sure how I got there but I couldn’t exactly move.

“I am Queen Amidala of the Naboo. I come before you in peace.”

“Naboo biggen. Yousa bringen da mackineeks. Yousa all bombad.” Boss Nass waved his hand in dismissal as he spoke.

The Queen never flinched. “We wish to form an alliance…”

“Your honor” Padme said as she stepped forward.

“Whosa dis?” Boss Nass asked impatiently.

“I am Queen Amidala.” She looks to Sabe, the young handmaiden dressed as the Queen. “This is my decoy; my protection, my loyal bodyguard.”

Boy, I didn’t see THAT one coming.

A\N: wondering what Petra looks like? Here she is: *click to see full-size image*

Padme turned back to Boss Nass as Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon looked at each other knowingly. “I’m sorry for my deception but it was necessary to protect myself. Although we do not always agree, Your Honor, our two great societies have always lived in peace. The Trade Federation has destroyed all that we have worked so hard to build. If we do not act quickly all will be lost forever. I ask you to help us…no I beg you to help us.”

She fell to her knees before Boss Nass, and everyone followed her lead.

“We are your humble servants. Our fate is in your hands.” Padme fell silent, waiting for Boss Nass’ answer.

The Gungans all look to each other and Boss Nass starts laughing out loud; quite an annoying laugh if you want to know.

“Yousa no tinken Yousa greater den da Gungans. Mesa lika dis. Maybe wesa bein friends.” He said. Everybody cheered and stood up. I didn’t like this at all.

A\N: sorry this is so short. I haven't written much beyond this point but I'm trying to figure out this next Obi\Petra scene to where it could include Qui-Gon to a point. see, I've already spoiled my next scene! *sigh* oh well. happy
