[Felicity Mason]

A young lady sat under a tree in the expansive palace gardens on Naboo. Her golden curls tumbled down the back of her pale yellow dress. Her freckled nose was stuck in an open book, her pretty mouth set in a neutral smile. This was the last taste of Naboo for a time, but instead of exploring and sneaking out, she had elected to spend as much as it in these gardens as possible. This was as much home as Imerria. Not the palace itself, but here, the gardens, particularly the damaged section. She could only pray it would be left alone while she was staying with Dutchess Magrath.

Between her fingers, she held an old book, a romance. She'd been very into these lately. She blamed Owain. If she could see him more, be alone with him, she wouldn't need to get all her romance from books. That was the greatest shame about having a secret boyfriend. She couldn't always show her love.

He was not here now in any case. Even having him here to sit silently with her while she read was at least something. Now she was lonely. No more friends to sit with her. All had left, off having adventures, living life.
Why did time move so fast?

Felicity wouldn't hear it but a young and very tall girl had snuck up behind her and was currently reading over her shoulder with Felicity being able to notice. Finally after a couple minutes Melissa decided to make her presence known. "So, how are you doing Felicity? By the way that is a very good book. I got my dad to get me the paperback copy a couple months back when we went to a book store with my older sister. I won't spoil the ending for you though!" Melissa said in her usually cheerful and upbeat tone of voice. When Felicity turned around to see her she would get a image of Melissa smiling face.

The young Princess jumped, the book flying out of her hands landing face down on the lawn. She was blushing like she'd been caught doing something naughty. She scrambled away several feet before she realized who it was.

"M-miss Melissa!" she gasped, "You scared the living force out of me!"

She put her hand to her chest, working to calm her racing heart.

"I didn't know you were here. Dad have business with the Queen?"

When Melissa saw the princesses reaction, she was on the floor rolling and laughing. "Oh god, you should have seen the look on your face. Dang, I should've brought a holocam and took a picture." Melissa said through a fit of giggles and laughs.

"Yeah he's got business with the queen. Something about security for something, seeing how the reconstruction from the invasion is coming along and delivering a shipment of weapons that the captain of the Palace Guard ordered. You know, boring military things." Melissa said as she sat up and smiled at Felicity. "So what do you have planned for today?"

Scaring friends was not nice. Felicity smoothed her wild blonde hair back in place, taking deep breaths to calm herself.

"Weapons? What sort of weapons?"
Felicity had become quite nosey lately, trying her best to figure out Mothers plans before she got caught up in them. She'd figured out Mothers plans to introduce her to Duchess Magraths son. Unfortunately, that was all she knew about it. Probably wishing to arrange a marriage or something. That was very typical of the aristocracy.
