On Board The Venator

The gunship landed in the Venator and Padme stepped out, along with Anakin.

“Just go to my quarters and fix yourself up. I gotta go take care of something on the bridge, then I’ll be right with you,” He told her.

“Sir, yes, sir,” Padme giggled with a salute.

As he walked away with officers, Padme looked around in the landing bay. Soldiers of the 501st walked around everywhere with weapons and some making repairs. She was willing to bet that nearly all of them had never even seen or at least interacted with a girl before other than their commander. She could see someone of the unmasked ones trying to sneak in a look at her.

On the other hand Padme had been in the hot Tatooine suns for quite a few hours now and after falling into dirty water, she needed to clean herself up.

“Senator Amidala!” A clone called out.

“Padme turned around and saw Rex, helmet at his side, walking towards her.

“What is it, Rex?”

“General Skywalker requested that I escort you to his quarters, pending your permission.”
