Standing outside the door to a group of people that didn't even know them deciding their possible fate was a nerve racking experience, even throughout the various obstacles they have seen and endured, this was one of the worst. They were just standing there, they couldn't do anything to persuade them, they couldn't push them to do something, they had to just sit and wait. In a way it made them feel useless, they were leaving their lives in the hands of these senators, although they knew Padme was a kind woman, they still feared that the other members of the council would object to helping those they didn't even know were with the Republic. As time passed on and it became more and more obvious they would be there for some time, it was Cheyenne who made the first attempt at conversation with the Clone Trooper Bull.

"So what happened to the two behind the attack?" She spoke lightly, Bull was in a world of his own at the time, staring off into the distant hall, her voice woke him from his train of thought as he turned his head to face her, keeping the rest of his body in the same position, his shoulder blades leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, right foot firmly on the floor while his left loosely crossed over at the shin.

"The twi'leks?" He questioned back, making sure he was following the conversation correctly, avoiding miscommunication. She nodded back as a confirmation, to which he continued explaining the consequences of the perpetrators actions.

"They were restrained" His words paused a moment as the briefing his superior gave him came to mind, stating that they had been crudely bound by rope when the reinforcements got there. His eyes glanced to Lillian sitting silently, a little further down from where Cheyenne had decided she was going to rest. It was clear she was listening to the conversation however, for as his words stopped, her head turned ever so slightly when her curiosity peaked as to why he stopped, but more so as she knew she had already restrained them herself, not to mention that they were already partially unconscious.

"More so, given your efforts" He stated once more in her direction, in all manners it was meant as a half hearted compliment, or at least to be taken as a way of reducing the offence taken to his previous comment, however Lillian just returned her gaze away from him and to the wall in front of her. Obviously the attempt at reduction was to be considered a failure on all counts, the response of her friend was justified as a scowl appeared on her face. It was slight, not one that would cause the somewhat grotesque twisting of the brow and lips, but softer, the creases on her face were minimal but the affect and emotion conveyed through her facial features at that time was quite strong. As Bull's eyes paced themselves across the small gap between the two girls to continue his conversation with Cheyenne, he caught glimpse of the soft scowl and found himself somewhat amused, of course he dismissed the humour at once, for fearing of offending the other girl, as she turned her head to face the Clone, her lips parting as a soft but agitated sigh left her mouth, showing her frustration, her eyes met those of the Clone. All she found herself doing was portraying a warm smile, somewhere between saying she was sorry, as well as saying that he was kind for not pushing forward. The smile he returned to her was all she needed to feel better once more as he continued his verbal construction of the events.

"They have been taken to another part of Coruscant to be detained, as the one you were placed in was mostly damaged by the attack" Cheyenne nodded, but didn't really know how to respond, she felt some what guilty for the fact that the people who attacked the facility where the ones who got away at the inspection. Due to her staying in the ship, they were able to get away and cause the damage that they did to the place he had potentially been serving in. Lillian glanced over to the two talking seeing the look on Cheyenne's face, she knew what her friend was thinking, but based on her current mood she decided not to address it, returning her gaze to its previous point. "Don't worry, they won't be getting out any time soon" He started trying to sway any doubt they might have, Cheyenne smiled in response.

"Don't worry, I'm quite confident you have the facility to detain them" Lillian immediately looked towards her friend, curious of the choice of words her friend decided to use.

"She means, you've probably got them locked up good" She stated somewhat bitterly, Cheyenne looked back to meet her gaze when Lillian immediately looked away, face like thunder, her mind still set on their previous argument about whether the two would stay or go. It looked like Cheyenne was going to respond to her somewhat negative friend when the door they had been so eagerly waiting on had opened. Due to years of training the Clone was immediately standing to attention, looking uniform and ready for action. Cheyenne was the second to get up from where she was sitting and stand forward, eager to what they were going to say, Lillian however took a more lazy approach, not too long because she too was still wanting the news, but was in a bad mood and it reflected in her movement.

When the two girls were standing in place, they watched the members of what they assumed to be a council, two of which were the only people they recognised, Amidala and the Chancellor. Standing forward as what seemed to be the representative for this specific request, Amidala told them what their choice was.

"Due to the lack of resources of the Republic at this time, and the war going on with the separatist. We don't have much to offer you. But due to your valor and bravery we must give you something. So we have decided to offer you accommodation, and jobs. The accommodation is a small one but will provide you two enough space to do what you need to do and is close to the means to access whatever you would like. As for your jobs, you will be working as maintenance in this very building, the Senate building. Here you will be safe and receive a decent pay, we will provide you training after you settle in, your first day is in a week." She finished her long speech of what the girls had been offered, Cheyenne had been beaming the whole way through, the idea of staying in Courscant was amazing to her and working in the Senate building even more so, Lillian too was excited, just not quite so openly than her friend. "Well?" Amidala questioned, the girls realized that she wanted a response, but they were too consumed by the idea and imagining what their new place was going to be like.

"Yes, we'll take it, it sounds wonderful" Cheyenne stated being the first to talk from the two, but it didn't seem like Lillian was going to make the effort to respond to it anyway, so she felt no offence to the matter. Amidala made a motion that she was going to speak, but was cut off by the chancellor.

"Well, you have no choice, but it is good that you like the idea" He stated moving forward, He turned towards the senator "I must attend to other matters, I trust yourself and the Clone Trooper will escort the girls to their new accommodation?" He stated not really sounding like a question, Senator Amidala faced him and bowed her head gracefully.

"Of course Chancellor" He nodded once and face the two girls.

"Girls" He nodded their way in a not of saying good bye before turning and walking away, the other members apart from Senator Amidala and her personal Clone bodyguards followed the Chancellor down the corridor and eventually out of view.

"So, are you girls ready?" Stated the Senator, she seems excited, as if she were taking her children to a brand new place, the girls could understand their own excitement, they would be going to a place thought impossible. However they didn't question the Senator's cheery attitude, especially Cheyenne, she could do with it considering the mood her best friend was in. Lillian attempted to get over her mood, but she was still upset with Cheyenne, why did she want to stay here and not return home, why would she leave everything behind and more importantly her, she quickly turned her head to the side at the thought, her face not showing signs of emotion, but in doing that creating the obvious feeling that she was not happy. Amidala glanced at the young girl, her grin turning into a cautious smile as she looks to Cheyenne. Cheyenne followed her glance to Lillian and sighed lightly before looking back to Amidala in an attempt to reassure her.

"It's not you, she's just upset with me" Her voice was somewhat harsh, causing Lillian to face her, her mouth opened for a brief second before she shut it and just looked away again, thinking that now wasn't the time to cause an argument, especially considering that they would question everything the argument is about.

"Oh... Shall we move on?" Amidala asked cautiously, Cheyenne nodded with a polite smile, Amidala moved forward her guards moving with her and staying by her side, Cheyenne began to follow and soon after Lillian did, but she stayed behind them, her arms folded, she didn't feel like making conversation. Bull was the next to follow, keeping the rear guard. Cheyenne moved a little quicker to Amidala's side, moving between the two guards, making her presence known before standing next to the Senator.

"So, was it hard to convince them?" Cheyenne asked curiously, Amidala turned her head to the side facing the girl with a smile.

"Most of these requests get rejected because the republic can't afford to give everyone a home, however we have rejected so many in the past. And trust me, I was able to give the chancellor a list, that if he denied another he would.. Well be deemed unfair by the other senators and in politics having a name that states you won't help the people isn't good" Cheyenne chuckled lightly.

"So you... essentially blackmailed him" Amidala mocked shock towards her.

"I would never. I am a Senator. It's more... Convincing with evidence he doesn't want others to know" She smiled before giving a light giggle, Cheyenne smiled. Entering into another conversation about what it is like to live on Coruscant, Lillian watched the two between the guards and frowned lightly, upset and somewhat jealous that her friend wasn't talking and laughing with her.

"She is quite friendly" A voice came from behind her, Lillian glanced over her shoulder to look at Bull before smiling lightly and nodding, looking back in front of her. "You don't talk a lot do you" A small sigh came from Lillian.

"Not when I don't have anything nice to say" She stated plainly, before closing her eyes briefly, longer than a blink and looked back to him "Sorry... Just not a talkative person who I don't have much to say" He nodded, take one or two longer than normal strides to stand next to her.

"Not much of the clones talk, and if they do. It's normally in the cantina" She smiled lightly but didn't respond back "However usually when I'm with one of my brothers walking down the corridor, they normally respond back" He gave a smirk towards her and she couldn't help but smile back.

"Sorry.. I would have thought the clones spoke to each other quite a lot, from what I've seen o-" She stopped her sentence suddenly, realizing what she was going to say but quickly replaces the words "from what I've seen of them I mean" Bull raised his brow at her sudden stop and start before looking back ahead of him, this gave her a chance to take a breath and caught how his was walking. His strides were almost in time with the guards ahead of her, whilst at the moment he had no larger gun, but a smaller one in a holster on his hip, his hands remained behind his back and he stood straight. She glanced at the guards ahead of her, they too stood straight but held their guns close to their chests, she didn't see their heads moving but could imagine that behind their helmets their eyes were darting around looking for anything out of the ordinary. She suddenly felt very small, based on the way she was walking even Amidala and Cheyenne walked with straight backs, she imagined it was contagious. She unfolded her arms and stood up straight, it didn't make her any where near as tall as them, but she didn't feel as inferior anymore.

"Something wrong?" Bull asked seeing her sudden change in stature.

"I was just looking at how everyone was walking, it made me feel small" Bull smiled at her comment looking forward once more.

"I guess that's a good thing" He paused quickly and looked to her as if saying sorry with his eyes "Not that it's good to make you or anyone else feel small... I mean well that is towards the enemy, but allies and friends shouldn't feel small around us of course.. I mean... " He paused and took a breath "I meant, we are trained to impose authority, the fact you feel small made you straighten up. Therefore... Good thing" He finished, throughout his small stumble her grin became wider and wider and at the end she couldn't help but let out a giggle. He smiled at her "At least you are laughing as opposed to frowning" He stated, she nodded still having a smile on her face.

"It is good" Bull glanced to her somewhat confused as they all began leaving the main entrance and walked their way towards some smaller ships. "The fact that you are imposing, it's good training" She nodded, he responded with a nod as well and they fell into a comfortable silence.

The group of them boarded a small shuttle, everyone taking their respective seats. all of which were against the walls as if in an army transporting helicopter, so everyone could face the opposite side. Amidala and her guards either side sat on one side whilst Bull joined Lillian and Cheyenne on the other side. The journey was silent as none of them had much to say to each other, lucky the journey was not a long one and they soon arrived to the accommodation.

While the group left the ship and onto a landing, the girls saw many other ships landing there and a lot of people walking about, they were curious to have their own exploration, to see what the city would show them, but at the same time were worried about getting lost, they didn't know where they were, although they had seen things about it in the shows of their old world, they didn't really know the city like the people that lived there did. The walk wasn't very long from the landing site to where they were going to live from now on, but it was on they changed very quickly. They knew that they weren't going to be placed in a high class area, but what they didn't expect was such a run down area.

"I apologise for any expectations you had, but unfortunately, the only areas we can really give away are those that have been lived in. The newer buildings go to those who earn high wages and as you can imagine, the government can't really afford to pay for someone to live in that kind of accommodation with the money going towards the war effort" The senator Amidala explained to the two girls and they both huddled closer to the clone guards as the area got darker and dank. The buildings got taller blocking the majority of the sun out, it was quiet for the most part, the only real bad thing was the fact it was dark and a little dirty. There wasn't evidence of violence, maybe a little bit of public damage, but they would expect that from a place like this.

"It's okay, this is built like one of the areas we used to live in, the buildings weren't so high and there wasn't so much artificial lighting. okay so there are so differences, but it's quiet for the most part" Cheyenne spoke with a polite smile on her face, she glanced to Lillian to see if she would say anything to add to hers, but Lillian was glancing around, looking up at the tall buildings, intrigued by what they had surrounding them, her eyes were drawn to the lights of the shops on the levels above them, she wondered if it would be difficult to get to them, or if there was some kind of elevator that could just take them up levels. The group walked towards an area in which long narrow catwalks came off of the main path, along one side of it was place tall buildings, divided by blue neon lights, they connected to the main catwalk with their own narrow catwalks, at the end of each a fence that would separate them from the main catwalk. They moved down the rows and rows of buildings when Amidala and her guards stopped walking, they turned towards the girls and motioned down the catwalk.

"This is where you will be staying, it is the 6th house down. We have some things to go through back at the building, we shall be here tomorrow to check how you are doing and to give you some information regarding the jobs you have been offered for the senate building"

"That won't be necessary, we don't plan on staying long" Lillian stated after Amidala had finished her sentence.

"Oh?" Cheyenne quickly moved forward and shook her head.

"No, no that's fine, we want the jobs, just in case our plans don't go through" She smiled. Amidala looked between the two girls before nodding and moving away, one of the guards walked towards the girls and handed them a key. Cheyenne took the keys and smiled thank you, before that clone too moved away from them, shortly followed by Bull, the girls were now on there own and a awkward silence fell between them before Cheyenne quickly moved to go down the catwalk.

"Work in the Senate building? really?" Lillian's voice came out harshly.

"Not now, can we just get inside and figure out what we are going to do?"

"Fine"


So this took me about... a year or so to write? Something like that. I can't believe I didn't get enough motivation to finish writing it, it was just a slow chapter, I couldn't really think of what else to write.
