"come on," Daala said, "lets go get some food." Mara slowly followed Daala out of the room. As they walked down the hall Mara could feel every one watching her. (While Mara was walking with Daala, her mind drifted to a couple of years previous.)
(She was playing in her bedroom, with Petra in the living room. She soon got bored and went to her mom who was reading a book on “The Duties of a Senator.” Her mother was an apprentice senator for Padme Amidala, her aunt. When Petra saw that Mara entered the room and was coming to her, she put the book down.)
Mara: “Momma, when is Daddy coming home?”
Petra: “I wish I knew. Hopefully soon.”
Mara: “I miss him and Uncle Ani.”
(Petra smiled.)
Petra: “I miss them too.”
(Mara got into her mom’s lap.)
Petra: “but you know, they are doing their job.”
Mara: “What’s their job?”
Petra: “Protecting innocent people from those who want to hurt them, including us.”
Mara: “So Daddy and Uncle Ani are protecting us from a long ways?”
Petra: (smiling) “Yes, they are.”
(There was silence. Mara looked at her mom.)
Mara: “Momma, will I have anyone else to play with?”
Petra: “you have me.”
Mara: “but you’re always too busy.”
Petra: “I know, sweetie. I didn’t mean to be.”
Mara: “Zett and Luke never have any time for me.”
Petra: “They’re Padawans. They have to be focused on that.”
Mara: “I just wish Daddy would be home more.”
Petra: “Me too.”
(Mara’s mind was jerked back to the present as Daala said that they were here.)
"Here we are," Daala finaly said, she opened the doors and walked into an elaboret room. Mara staired, "its beutiful." Daala smiled at her, "this way dear, dinner is in here."
