" As soon as we land, the federation will arrest you both and force you to sign the treaty " Captain Panka says to Athena and Padmè as they both sat in their seats on the ship, Captain, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Jar Jar all stood in front of them while the guards and handmaidens were around the outside of the room.
" I agree, I'm not sure. What you wish to accomplish by this " Qui-Gon says.
" We will take back, what's ours " Padmè says as if it was the simplest thing in the world.
" We must take matters into our own hands " Athena added.
" There are too few of us, your highnesses. We have no army " Captain Panka argued.
" And I can only protect the both of you, I can't fight a war for you " Qui-Gon says.
" Jar Jar Binks " both sisters say in unison.
" Mesa, your highnesses? " Jar Jar asked, surprised to called on.
" Yes, we need your help " Athena says.

Padmè and Athena switched places with Sabe and Kiara.
Athena quickly changed since the ship was going to land any minute, Athena walks out of the room and walks down the hall and sees Anakin, who smiled widely when he saw her.
" Athena " Anakin smiled widely before he meets her halfway and hugs her waist tightly and Athena hugs back " I couldn't find you ".
" Oh, I'm sorry Ani " Athena apologies as they pulled away " Padmè and I were sent on a very important errand for the Princess and Queen ".
" It's okay Athena, as long as you're okay. That's all that matters, you're my friend and I want you to be okay and be safe " Anakin says smiling, Athena smiles back at him. Anakin's smile disappeared.
" What is it? " Athena asked and Anakin looks at her in shock.
" You're still wearing it " Anakin says smiling again, Athena looked down and sees she forgot to tuck her necklace under her shirt.
" Of course I am, I haven't taken it off since you gave it to me. It means a lot to me, Ani" Athena says smiling as she tucked the necklace under her shirt " I tuck it under my clothing for safe keeping, I don't want anything bad to happen to it ".
" It means a lot to me too...that you always wear it " Anakin says as Padmè walked out from the end of the hallway.
" Athena, Queen Amidala and Princess Amidala have summoned us " Padmè says and Athena turned around revealing Anakin to her sister " Ohh Ani, it's so good to see you again ".
" Its good to see you too " Anakin says kindly to Padmè.
" I see your happy to be with my sister again " Padmè says and Anakin nods smiling " But I'm afraid your time together has to be cut short, we must go Athena ".
" Alright " Athena says before she turns to Anakin " I'll see you later, Anakin ".
" I look forward to seeing again " Anakin says, Athena smiles at him before she and Padmè walked away.

The ship landed on the flourish land of Naboo, Qui-Gon exited the ship and took a look around as everyone started to unload the ship. He stopped and looked at the lake in front of him, Obi-Wan walks off the ship and to his master.
" Jar Jar is on his way to Gungan city, Master " Obi-Wan says.
" Good " Qui-Gon says nodding.
" Do you think the Queen and Princess's idea will work? " Obi-Wan asked.
" The Gungan will not, be the easily swayed " Qui-Gon says sighing " And we cannot use our power to help them ".
" I'm...." Obi-Wan says " I'm sorry for my behaviour Master, it's not my place to disagree with you about the about the boy and girl. And I'm grateful you think I'm ready to take the trails ".
" You've been a good apprentice, Obi-Wan " Qui-Gon says smiling at his Padawan " And you're a much wiser man than I am, The force tells me you will become a great Jedi knight ".
" Jar Jar Emerges from the lake and shook off the water and says " Desa nobody dare, the Gungan city is deserted. Some kind of fight, Mesa tinks ".
Athena stood next to Anakin as they stood in a group with Padmè, Sabe and Kiara.
" Do you think they have been taken to camps? " Obi-Wan asked Qui-Gon.
" More likely, they were wiped out " Captain Panaka answered.
" Mesa, no tink so " Jar Jar says.
" Do you know where they are, Jar Jar? " Qui-Gon asked the Gungan.
" When in trouble, Gungan go to sacred place. Mesa show you, come on Mesa show you " Jar Jar says as he started to lead.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Shared a look before following Jar Jar, Qui-Gon motions for everyone on to follow them as well.
Athena walks in the middle of Padmè and Anakin as the group follows Jar Jar.
" Your honour, Queen Amidala and Princess Amidala of Naboo " the Gungan, who had found them announced. They were all gathered behind Sabe and Kiara as they walked forward with Jar Jar.
" Uh, h-heyo " Jar Jar says " Big Boss Nass, your honour ".
" Jar Jar Binks " Boss Nass says in a mighty tone " Who's da uss-en uthers? ".
" I am Queen Amidala of Naboo " Sabe says introducing herself.
" And I am Princess Amidala of Naboo " Kira says introducing herself too.
" We come before you in peace " Sabe says.
" Ah, Naboo biggen " Boss Nass replied as more Gungan gathered around " Yousa bringen da mackineeks, yousa all bombard ".
Athena feels Padmè get fidgety and she glances at her sister, to see she was already looking at her with a look she knew all to well, the sisters nod at each other.
" We have searched you out because we wish to form an alliance " Kira began to say, but was cut off when Padmè and Athena stepped in front of her and Sabe.
" Your honour " Padmè and Athena say in unison.
" Whosa dis? " Boss Nass asked as he pointed at the sisters.
" I am Queen Amidala " Padmè declared.
" And I'm Princess Amidala " Athena declared after her sister and everyone around them gasped.
" These are our decoys " Padmè explained.
" Our protection, our loyal bodyguards " Athena added.
" I'm sorry for our deception, but it was necessary to protect ourselves " Padmè apologised.
" And although we do not always agree, your honour, our two great societies have always lived in peace " Athena says " 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 " Padmè continued " We ask you to help us ".
Athena gets on her knees and pulled Padmè shirt, gesturing her to do the same.
" No, we beg you to help us. We are your humble servants " Athena says as everyone behind them kneeled down as well.
" Our fate is in, your hands " Padmè stated as the sisters look at them, hoping he would help.
Boos Nass hummed in response as he weighed the outcomes in his head, he sighed before letting out a hearty laugh and says " Yousa no tinken yousa, greater den da Gungans? Me-e-esa lika dis ".
Athena and Padmè smile widely as Boss Nass continued to speak.
" Maybe wesa bein friends " he blubbered happily, there was a roar of cheers and shouts as Boss Nass agreed to the alliance.

Everyone was busy preparing for the war to come, Padmè was speaking to Captain Panaka before he left to meet with the underground rebellion. Anakin was sitting down nearby with R2 and Athena makes her way over to them.
" Princess " Anakin exclaimed when he saw Athena walking over. He quickly got up and bowed.
" There's really no need for that, Ani " Athena says laughing softly " You are my friend and you can call me Athena ".
" I know, but it doesn't feel right to call you by your first name when you are truly a Princess " Anakin says honestly.
Athena smiles at him before she spoke in a serious tone " I want to apologise again, I know I've lied to you about my true identity the entire time we've known each other. You've become a very important person and friend to me, Anakin, I hope you can forgive me ".
" There's no reason to apologise, you were protecting yourself and your sister. I understand regardless if you are a princess or not, you're just Athena to me. You'll always just be Athena to me " Anakin says with a smile and Athena bends to Anakin's height and hugs him and he hugs her back.
β―
" They're here " Anakin shouted as he ran over to Athena, Padmè, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. They were all gathered to make battle plans, the Gungans were arriving and they were waiting for Boss Nass to join them. Anakin joined and stood by Athena.
Athena had thought a lot about what she wanted and she had finally decided what path she wanted to follow. It wasn't exactly the best time, but she felt the need to say it before everyone heads to battle.
" If I may announce something " Athena says getting everyone's attention, Padmè, Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan looked at her curiously.
" When this is all over, I would like to step down as Princess of Naboo and join Anakin at the Jedi Academy, I know the council said they wouldn't train Anakin. But if they agree to train the both of us, I want to be a Jedi " Athena declared to everyone, she was worried about their reaction but she was greeted with warm supportive smiles.
" we can arrange another meeting for you to get tested " Qui-Gon says " I'll see to it that you both are trained to become Jedi ".
Athena and Anakin shared an excited smile as they looked Obi-Wan, who smiles at them before Athena looks at her sister.
" I'm so proud of you Athena, you'll make a great Jedi, you as well Anakin " Padmè says smiling at her sister before the sisters hugged tightly.
" We will become Jedi together " Anakin cheers as the sisters pulled away.
Athena Amidala will become a Jedi.
