These are notes between Tim(Amidala’s father) and Padmé (Amidala) ,but it’s AU. (I started this before AOTC came out...actually I came up with the idea of Luke's mother's father before I even knew there were prequels, so of course I had no idea what his name would be. When you reach the place that AOTC came out, I label it, and then from that point on, he is Ruwee. Pretend that the notes say Ruwee right now)

Note 1
To my daughter, (Padmé)

I’m glad to see you! I always worried about you when you were on Endor. The somewhat frequent meetings with each other on Endor just didn’t cut it. I heard about your husband’s death. To be honest, I’m glad he’s dead. You know I never approved of him. I’m so glad you were unable to have kids due to the short time you were married. Why did you not come and inform us right away that you were alive…I can’t believe we went the entire time from your wedding in Feb. to Christmas without seeing you that year. Well, I’m sure the Rebels will destroy that Death Star.

Love your father,
The Retired King Tim Jedi

Note 2
Daddy,

I loved Anakin, and still do. I miss him. I don't care if you're glad he's died and that I wasn't able to have children, I will never regret marrying him. I am sorry if you disapproved of him, but we loved each other, and it if a shame that you two didn't get to know each other well. I'm sure you would have understood why I married if you did.

I didn't tell you or anyone else that I was alive, because I needed to be alone. I'm sorry if I scared you.

Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 3
Padmé,

I wish you would have married that Arawn Corta man when he had that huge crush on you. He was really rich. Too bad.

But if you really loved Anakin, all right, but at least he’s not alive anymore. It’s a shame that you can’t carry on our family line. Oh well, we live in the days of the Empire, so our family line doesn’t really matter any more.

Well a lot of people are coming to the Rebellion now…..so it keeps me busy. I have to assign pilots ships….and it can be pretty busy. I keep track of maintenance too.

Did you hear about the Death Star plans? They had to be dropped off at some planet called Anuvuin. We’re sending pilots there to go see if we can’t retrieve them.

I’m so glad that you’re alive.

I hope that you adjust well to the Rebellion.

Your loving father,
Tim Jedi
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 4
Dad,

I would rather be died than to think about marrying Arawn Corta. I don't care about money, and riches. I was in love with Anakin and it is a shame that he died before we could have children. Tell me, would you rather me marry someone who was rich and great in power, but yet had no love in his heart, or someone who would give his life to save mine, who wasn't rich in money, only rich in love and no power over people, only power of love, which would it be. I chose Anakin, because he was what I wanted, and not Arawn.

I am adjusting well to the Rebellion, and have met up with some old friends. It's great to see everyone. Must go.

Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 5
Padmé darling,

All right, all right. I’m sorry for bringing up Arawn Corta. At least Anakin’s dead and you can now find a new, more reasonable husband. Of course I want your husband to love you, but they also must come from the right types of people. It was your decision, and I hope you see how foolish it was now.

Anyhow, I am glad that you are adjusting well the Rebellion, and I’m glad you’re meeting up with some old friends.

Did I hear that the plans are lost…..my father, your grandfather, informed me that the plans are now lost. The droids that were sent to Anuvuin have disappeared.

Your father,
Tim
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 6
Daddy,

You sound happy that Anakin is dead. Is that what I'm supposed to believe, that you're glad he's dead? I don't believe you.

I hope the droids show up, and if they're not on Anuvuin I hope someone who is on our side is bringing them to us. I don't know what the Emperor, or the Maurders would do with them. Please, tell me if there is any word.

Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 7
Padmé,

Okay, I admit it….I am pleased that Anakin is dead. I wouldn’t say happy, but I will say pleased. Don’t use the word glad, either.

Yes, have you heard any more about the droids? They still seem to be missing. Maybe someone will bring them to us….that is wishful thinking. I will tell you if I hear anything, but so far I have heard nothing.

Your father,
Tim Jedi
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 8
Daddy,

Pleased? Pleased that my husband died? Daddy, would Grandpa be pleased it you died? I don't think you knew Anakin well, Dad, but that's a shame. You missed a great man.

I got some news about the droids, but I'm going to make sure it's true, because it could be a lie just to throw us off track.

Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 9
Padmé,

No, your grandfather would not be pleased if I died. But that’s because I actually am of a high status…..and Anakin was a Jedi Knight. Well perhaps…..I do regret not knowing your husband better.

You have some news about the droids? What did you hear? I heard something to. I heard that Wedge Antilles, a X-Wing pilot found out that a boy from Tatooine might have the plans. He hopes that this boy, whoever he is, knows Obi-Wan Kenobi and gives him the plans. I do hope this is true. Did you hear something similar?

Your father,
Tim Jedi
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 10
Daddy,

Yes, I've heard that Vader doesn't have the plans, but some boy is or gave them to Obi-Wan. Lets just hope Obi-Wan gets here soon with them, I don't like them not being here.

What's so bad about a Jedi Knight? They were the most respectful people there were, before they were killed.

Must go.

Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 11
Padmé,

So a boy gave the plans to Obi-Wan….and Vader doesn’t have them. That’s VERY good news. I hope that they get to Yavin safely.

I don’t like the wait either……but I’m sure they’ll get here soon enough.

Well Jedi Knights weren’t exactly the wealthiest people in the world…..they didn’t come from upper class well-to-do families……especially Anakin. He was a slave, wasn’t he? From Tatooine? They were respectful, but they lacked money.

Hey, I heard that Bail Organa just found his daughter Leia. I never heard of her…..I’m glad he found his daughter. Now that is a well-to-do family. You and Bail were good friends…..his wife is dead…..have you ever thought of marrying him?

Well I hope to hear another update on the plans. Tell me if you hear anything.

Your father,
Tim Jedi
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 12
Daddy,

I'm not planning on getting married again for a while, thank you very much. Besides I don't think I'll ever find anyone like Anakin again.

Yes, of course the Jedi won't the wealthish people in the galaxy, but they were special in many, many ways. They had things that normal people would/could never have. They were different and I loved all of them, but Anakin stole my heart. I hope at SOMEDAY you will learn to understand that. I don't care if he was a slave on Tatooine or a different species, because that doesn't matter. All that mattered it that I loved him and he loved me back, can't you understand that?

Vader doesn't have the plans, and I heard that a boy gave them to Obi-Wan (Jedi aren't useless, if you haven't noticed), and hopefully the plans are on their way.

Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 13
Padmé Dear,

All right…..but I wish that you would consider extending our family line. You are all that’s left of it. I wish you would marry.

I suppose you didn’t do THAT bad as far as marriage is concerned. It could have been worse. You could have chosen to marry an evil person….such as the Emperor or Vader….now that would have been REALLY bad.

Anakin wasn’t a different species was he? I thought he was human.

I’m sure the plans will be on their way……they just have not arrived yet. Let me know if you hear anything about them.

Your father,
Tim
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 14
Father,

Anakin was human. Why would I want to marry an alien? Wait, I don't want to know the answer.

Yes, it could have been much, MUCH worse, be happy I didn't make it worse.

If I could, I would get married again, but as it stands now, I have not found that Someone. Until I find him, I will wait. And no, Dad, I don't need you naming off people you think would be 'perfect' for me, because if you didn't like Anakin, you don't like my taste for men. So, trust me, giving me a list of 'great men' will not help me find that Someone. Thanks for your help though.

All I know about the plans is that Obi-Wan (Jedi Knight) has them with him, and Bail is SURE of that, so proved you yet again that Jedi AREN'T WORTHLESS!!!

I must go, I have work to finish.


Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 15
Padmé,

I just was checking to make sure Anakin was human. I don’t know why you would want to marry an alien…but remember…..some people do. Look at Palpatine….he married a Bantha!!!

I’m glad you didn’t make a horrible decision and marry Palpatine or Vader.

Have you tried younger men to possibly marry? I realize that some of these people are half your age…..but just taking a look around, I find a lot of very handsome men. Of course I don’t know their family backgrounds…but I just saw one that I thought would do nicely for you. I have to verify his background first…..but he has blond hair and blue eyes….like you always seemed to like in guys…he’s young and he looks like he might be intelligent. He’s a pilot, and he’s new to the Rebellion. I just checked over his ship and had a tiny conversation with him.

Well maybe there will be a guy that I approve of that is within your tastes for men.

Well I never said the Jedi Knights were worthless….but I would not have my daughter marry one again. I’m glad that Obi-Wan was able to bring us the plans.


Your father,
Tim
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 16
Dad,

Some, blond-haired, blued-eyed, new-to-the-Rebellion guy ran into me causing me to spill my leftover coffee all over my favorite dress!! I am NOT interested in getting married to anyone, no matter if he's new to the Rebellion, half my age, or anything. If I am to get married again, then He will come when the timing it right. Don't push it, Dad, it will all happen in its' right time, but now is not that time, so I'm not going to sit around doing nothing while I wait.

What if that Someone is a Jedi Knight that happened to have lived through the attack? What would you think? I mean, if you don't want me marrying another Jedi Knight, and yet you want me to get married to the right one, and that One IS another Jedi Knight, what would you do to stop me to marry him?

Well, I have to go, and figure out how to get this stain out of my dress. I hope I can get the stain off, or I'm going to kill that kid that ran into me.


Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 17
Padmé,

All right, I am just trying to insure that our royal family line continues, and that you find a suitable, acceptable husband.

I’m sorry to hear about your dress, but you’ve had that dress for years. It’s about time that you threw it away forever. It’s the thing you’ve attached yourself to Anakin about, and I will not have it.

The Jedi are extinct. There isn’t one in the galaxy that you would be able to like.

The Death Star battle is not looking good at the moment. Only one squadron is left, and there are only a few minutes left until the Death Star will be able to destroy us.


Your father,
Tim
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 18
Dad,

This whole battle doesn't seem to be going well. I hope that somehow we'll be able to win it still. Do you know whose flying right now?

DAD, I...I-I...UGH!!!! PLEASE, don't try to get me to marry. PLEASEEEE!?! It's bad enough having Mom forcing me, but I don't need this now. We have a battle going on, and I MUST focus on that, and not some 'young man', ok?

There are more Jedi out there then you know of, and there happens to be one here!! A good friend of mine, and Jedi Knight, but I'm not going to marry anyone, right now, or even think about it, because I don't want to. Sorry, if I'm the last child in the family, Dad, but you CAN'T force me to marry. That is NOT right, and I will NOT do it.

By the way, I'm keeping the dress even though it has a stain on it. It may be stained, and I may not be able to wear it again, but I'm keeping it FOREVER, thank you very much.


Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 19
Padmé,

I do not know if you have heard the news yet, but the Death Star has been destroyed. One of our pilots was able to make the shot, and he destroyed it on his first try WITHOUT using the targeting computer. I forget what his name was…there are way too many Rebel pilots to remember them all by name. What does it really matter which pilot it was anyway? The thing is that the Death Star was destroyed!

Bail has scheduled an awards ceremony for the heroes, and I know how much you dislike hearing about heroes that are pilots (because of Anakin?), so I do not expect to see you there. Do let me know if you choose to go, though. I’m trying to make the seating arrangements right now.

Um…yes…..I do know the names of the pilots that were flying (you should know that….seeing how I am in charge.) I know the pilot numbers, and I know last names….but I don’t remember first names. I could look them up for you if you wish me to, but I know how you normally don’t like to know. Let me see here, there were 4 Skywalkers (most common last name) flying, an Antilles, two Darklighters (I believe they are father and son), and several other names. I didn’t think you would be interested, though. Do you still want to know? One of the Darklighters got killed, and 1 Skywalker died….and a few other pilots were killed, but the rest made it back to Yavin safely.

I am worried about our family line….but because you have insisted, I will not bring up the subject again unless things remain the way they are right now…..you with no boyfriend.

I do not understand why you still hang onto Anakin so much. What’s wrong with you? He’s dead…please try and get over it. Why keep a useless dress?

By the way, I have been discussing possible locations to move our next base to, and one planet that we’re strongly considering is an ice planet called Hoth. It may be unbearably cold there, but it will give us time to plan for our next good base will providing protection. The Empire would not think of us choosing an ice planet as our base. What is your opinion on the matter?


Your father,
Tim
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 20
Dad,

If the Empire does not suspect Hoth as our next base, then it's fine by me. When are we going to begin moving out of here?

Uh, no, I don't think I'll go to the award ceremony, I've got TONS of work to do and I can't, so don't worry about the seats.

You don't have to get the first names of the pilots (the ones that were STILL alive near the closing of the battle) if it's too much trouble. I'll figure out some other way. Thanks anyway.

As you know by now I've gotten the news about the Death Star blowing up. You said that the pilot used no targeting computers, AND he made the shot? Wow, he must be a great pilot and have a great aim! If you go to the ceremony, please tell him I said 'thank you'.

DAD, you're making me SO mad!!! I don't CARE what you think/thought of Anakin, and about the royal line. Ok? There I said it, are you happy to know the truth? I'm my only person, and my parents are NOT going to rule my life as you did Naboo and Coruscant, so don't start thinking that you can be the King and Queen of MY life, just because you WERE King of Queen before. If you've forgotten I was Queen TOO, so I DO know how to rule my life as well as you do. I just don't do things like you want me to. Sorry if I ruined your plan for a 'wealthy' royal line, but I don't care about it.

I have go to.


Padmé _______________________________________________________________________________
Note 21
First Tim and Padmé Note written after AOTC came out. I also read the book, and because of that I found out what Padmé’s parents names were so I have changed their names from Tim and Sally to Ruwee and Jobal. I have also decided to no longer use the name Samantha and to use the name Padmé. Her family’s last name will no longer be Jedi, but it will be Amidala. Instead of being the royal family of Coruscant, they will be the Royal family of Naboo. They do not rule anything though. The elected Queen of Naboo still does that.


Padmé Darling,

The move to Hoth has been hectic. I’m glad that we moved right after the Awards Ceremony, aren’t you? Well whoever did their research on Hoth was correct…it IS cold here. I hope that you are dressed appropriately. One of our people has gone missing…the one that blew up the Death Star. After he blew up the Death Star, he was promoted to Commander ranking. He and a guy who has not officially joined the Rebellion (but helped the other pilot destroy the Death Star by shooting the TIE fighters that were after him) went out this evening to look for life forms…to be sure that no one else was here except us. According to Han Solo (the guy with him), the Commander…last name Skywalker saw something that he thought was a meteorite and he wanted to check it out. Commander Skywalker did not report back…and the temperature is dropping rapidly. It looks like he’s not going to come back…and even with heavy clothing…the temperature is dropping too rapidly for ANYONE to be able to survive very long. It’s too bad that we lost him…he was a good pilot. I’m going to have to go talk to that Han Solo guy to see if I can notify the Commander’s family (you know that’s my job). Hold on a minute.

Okay, I’m back…I can’t find Han Solo ANYWHERE here either. Bail Organa’s daughter (who appears to be a good friend of both Luke and Han) said that Han went after Luke. That was very stupid of Solo, because now that’s TWO good pilots…. both people who had destroyed the Death Star that we lost. I tried to tell him to come back…that his Tauntaun would be dead before he’d reach the first marker…and you know what he didn’t seem to care. He was worried about his friend…strange…they must be very close or something. Han would risk his life for a friend that’s probably already dead by now.

It’s getting too cold and we’re going to have to close the doors. Maybe we can send a search party out to retrieve their bodies in the morning. We’re still having trouble adapting the snowspeeders to the cold. We have mechanics working on them right now, and they should be fixed by tomorrow morning.

So far it doesn’t look like the Empire has any clue where we are. (Fortunately). There have been no probes or Imperial ships spotted near the base.

So you didn’t go to the awards ceremony? Well it wasn’t THAT exciting anyway. Just the Skywalker, Solo, and Wookiee heroes getting awards…you didn’t miss much, although I wish you would have been there so that you could make a public appearance.

Well let’s see…I have the first names for you of the pilots that did survive. Let’s see here…of course the Luke Skywalker guy because he destroyed the Death Star, Wedge Antilles, (and pretend he names off the rest of the names). Han Solo also survived, although he wasn’t an official pilot. Oh, and Kitster Darklighter survived, although is son Biggs didn’t.

Yeah…that Luke Skywalker guy turned off his targeting computer a little before he made the shot. Everyone thought something was wrong, so we asked…we were like, “Luke, you switched off your targeting computer. What’s wrong?” He answered, “Nothing.” That was so strange. Why would a pilot turn of his targeting computer? I don’t get it. No one in the room understood why he did that. He WILLINGLY did that. At any rate, he still made the shot…and the thing is he had never flown before the Death Star battle. Everyone was worried about him…his Squadron Leader thought for sure that Luke would die because he had no experience flying whatsoever. (Kitster Darklighter was his Squadron Leader.) Kitster didn’t think it was wise to use a pilot who had never flown before, and he was against putting Luke out there…but we needed pilots, and so Luke got to fly. He hadn’t even used any flight stimulators either. Anyway, yes, he used no targeting computer and still made the shot. He is a great pilot and has a very good aim…even with NO TRAINING at all. I guess some people are just talented. I’ll try to remember to thank him…if he comes back alive. It’s very doubtful…you know how cold Hoth is. It’s too bad that that talent had to be wasted by dying on Hoth.

Well at least your sister Sola had four children and carried on our line…. although I wish that you would have done the same thing. We are very proud of our family line. Have you seen Sola since you’ve been here? Or her children? Let’s see…their names are Caspian, Ryoo, Pooja, and Dash…and she married very well. I’m disappointed that you didn’t do the same thing. Her husband was that very fine young man named Arawn Corta. It’s a pity that he divorced her after they had been married for so long. I guess Arawn was working for Palpatine back in the Old Republic days. Arawn got himself a good government job and did not shame our family name the way Anakin (a former slave) did.

All right, all right, I understand that you don’t want to marry right now. We’ll try not to force you into it (although we would really like it if you would marry). I cannot believe that you don’t care of what I think/thought of Anakin or the royal line. Do you know what you are saying!!! You are putting our good family name to shame…. we have taken pride in our family line for centuries, and now you say you do not care!

Well how are you adjusting to life on Hoth? Are you pleased with our new base?


Your father,
Ruwee
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 22
Dear Father,

Do you have any news on Solo yet? Did he manage to find Commander Skywalker? I would hate it if the Rebellion lost both of them. They have done a lot for the Cause.

Yes, Sola married very well, and I am happy for her, but I honestly wish that you would understand that my path is different from that of my sister. There is a very high probability that I will NEVER marry again. I loved Anakin with all of my heart and I simply am not willing to let him go.

If you had only met him! Then you would understand the love and loyalty I feel toward him, even to this day, but (sigh!) you did not get that opportunity.

I understand that a Wookiee had to be placed in lockup when the shield doors were closed. Was that Solo’s Wookiee companion?

It is very cold here, but I am more fortunate than Bail’s daughter Leia. Her droids turned up the heaters in her chambers, melting the walls and causing her entire wardrobe to be saturated! She had to borrow clothing from me while her droids clean up the mess, and as you know water is damaging to some clothing, so I’ve no doubt that some of her wardrobe is ruined. Considering her financial straits because of the Empire, I have no idea how she will recover from the damage!

Well father, it is late and I must retire.


All my love,
Padmé
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note 23
Padmé darling,

I have received word that both Solo and Skywalker have been rescued. Apparently Solo managed to keep Skywalker alive, although Commander Skywalker was barely alive. Zev and Wedge went out in Snowspeeders in the next morning. Solo came out all right, but Commander Skywalker almost froze to death. The medical people had to put him in the bacta tank for a long time, and afterwards, they brought him to the medical section. I hear he’s still recovering, and that he came down with pneumonia after the experience.

Both Solo and Skywalker have done much for our cause, that is true. I saw you talking with Skywalker…don’t get too close to him. He looks like he’s from a poor family. Are you talking to him because his last name is Skywalker? Padmé, you know that last name is the most common in the galaxy! Just because your former husband’s last name was Skywalker does not mean you should go over and talk to him. Set an example for the people in higher positions.

I suppose I can not argue about this point any further…sigh…your mother and I both wish you would marry. Why are you not willing to let go of your dead husband? Yes, I know you were in love with him, but you must move on with your life. Stop thinking of him, and that is an order.

If you will remember, I DID meet Anakin Skywalker. Remember when he had that job of protecting you and you needed to go to Naboo for protection? You stopped by our house for one day and night. Your mother and I did not approve of Anakin then. He was a former slave, and at that time a Jedi Knight! You knew what we thought of those people! Poor people have no place in our inner connections. Padmé, what am I going to do with you?

Yes, a Wookiee was placed in lockup. I don’t know if it was Solo’s companion or not, but the Wookiee’s name was Chewbacca. They’ve released him now. I don’t think you should get too close to that Wookiee. They smell, and they shed all over the place. It’s not proper for someone of our family to be in the presence of one.

Yes, I heard that report too…the one that happened to Bail Organa’s daughter. It’s such a shame what happened to her clothing. I hope she will be able to get some more. She borrowed some clothes from you? She wears your size? I don’t mind you talking with the Organa family. They are very respectable people. I have seen you talk to Bail and Leia often. I’m glad.

Han Solo came by and put in a request to leave the Rebellion. He said that there’s a death mark on his head…that he has to go pay off Jabba the Hutt. I’m sorry to lose him. Leia seemed mad that Solo was leaving. I think they like each other. I’ve been around them long enough to know that.

Has anything exciting been happening around here that I am not aware of? What are you doing right now?

Padmé, although you may think I am harsh sometimes, I do love you very much. If anything were ever to happen to you, I would never be able to forgive myself.


With Love,
Your Father,
Ruwee Amidala
