Anuvuin: episode #19 Amidala and the King
Part 2
Previously: Qui-Gon Jinn, tired of looking for the chosen one, went to the Jedi School to pick out an appropriate Apprentice, which he did. The Apprentice’s name is Obi-Wan Kenobi.
And now, back to the normal time of Anuvuin, Part 2. (Anuvuin: Part 2 takes place the same year as the first 4 Blue Waters episodes, just so you’re aware.) Dalben is in the middle of discussing something with his “daughter.” (I think I’m starting to get confused myself over Blue Waters/Anuvuin. I’m all right, though…I just wrote episode 4 of Blue Waters, so I’m like “wait a second.) Anyway, Dalben says, “Well it’s lucky Palpatine got elected Senator. The way I hear it, Sampson QuiQue has gotten in big trouble. The king even kicked him out of Naboo…I heard he started his own planet…the planet of QuiQue.” “What did he do that was so bad?” Amidala asked. “He’d been building weapons…very dangerous ones. We’re lucky that he wasn’t elected.” Amidala says, “Yes, I have to agree with you on that one. I do wish I could do something for Naboo. I feel like I’m giving them nothing.” “Amidala, you’re fine…I just wish Kelly were here to see you now.” Kelly was Dalben’s deceased wife. She had died shortly after the birth of their youngest, Gwydion. They had had two children: Beru and Gwydion. They had hidden this information form Amidala…it was part of the deal. Dalben turns again to Amidala, “You have even taken action in your views…that small group you started, and I want you to know that I am very proud of you, Amidala.” There is loud knock on the door. Dalben rushes to answer it. “Yes?” A boy of about the same age as Amidala stands there, out of breath. “There’s an emergency …the king…is sick. There’s been an emergency meeting called, and your daughter has been selected to go. I advise her to go.” With that, the boy takes off running. Dalben starts to explain the situation to Amidala, but she cuts him off with, “Yeah, I heard, I’m going.” “Amidala, I don’t know if that’s wise…you never know.” “I’m going, father.” Wit that, she race out the door. Dalben holds up his hands and sighs. Back to the Sith meeting only one day earlier. After the Trade Federation left, Sidious turns back to Arawn and Maul. “You see that this will crate sympathy for the Planet of Naboo.” Darth Maul looks questiongly at Sidious. “So what would that hope to accomplish?” “In the Senate…my young apprentice…if things go as planned, Valorum might not make the ruler happy…which would cause her to come here. There is such a thing as a vote of no confidence…” Arawn stared at Darth Sidious. So did Darth Maul. Arawn says, “but that would cause them to vote on a new Supreme Chancellor….” “Very perceptive,” Sidious answers. “That is my home planet.” Arawn says, “but I thought you had to be in the Senate for 5 years…before…” Sidious laughs, “heh heh heh.” Arawn stops, he realizes something. Sidious nods to confirm Arawn’s thoughts. “Now I suggest you go to Naboo…and arrange things so that there is a new ruler elected. Here is something that might be of interest to you…” “What is it?” “Poison…not deadly if sued properly, but it could cause our current ruling body to become unfit as king.” Arawn nods. Little did he knew what he was getting himself into…so, Arawn does the deed before going to Amidala’s house. Yes, that was him that informed Dalben…back to Amidala. She gets to the palace at the same time as important Naboo officials. The king is brought down in a bed, moaning the whole way. “What happened to him?” she asks the nearest person, hoping that they would know. “He became very ill during our meeting. It came up so suddenly…he feels that someone else should take leadership of this planet.” Amidala slowly nods. “I am Captain Panaka, by the way, miss.” She starts to say, “I am Amidala…” “I know. There’s no time. We, the Naboo Council members fell that you would make the best ruler. What do you say? Of course, they’ll have to be an election, but I think you’re a favorite among everyone here.” This is more than Amidala could bear. “I would love to be ruler of Naboo.” “Good, I’ll tell them you’re interested.” And the next day, the people elected Amidala Queen of Naboo. Now, to the Trade Federation…for next time! Until next time!
