Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z or any of the Dragon Ball Z characters. I do not own Star Wars or any of the Star Wars characters. They are owned by those who own them. I do, however, own the fic all of this is in. That is all.
Warnings: Shortness ahead. That is really about it. Many of the chapters in the original version had been uploaded two at a time in the same document and when I had first put them together, it seemed long to me at the time. There will be others that will be shorter like this one (but probably not as short), so be on the lookout for them. :)
Chapter Seven:
It was just like she had remembered it three years ago when she had landed upon it during her fleeing trip from the Trade Federation. Nothing seemed to have changed much, although they were on another part of the planet and in another township far from where they had taken their first trip to. Although it was a different place, it was all the same no matter what angle one looked at it.
"Where is Obi-Wan's ship? It should be around here,," Queen Amidala demanded sourly, her brown eyes scanning the desert in front of her. She stood outside the ship, dressed in her battered peasant clothing. Sabe was inside, the other handmaidens helping her get dressed into the queen's garments instead of the usual handmaiden cloth. She looked around desperately at the outskirts of Most Esiley, a angry look upon her face that had appeared there not long after she had stepped out into the heat.
"I do not know, my Queen. He probably had already left Tatooine before we even got here. I believe he and Anakin were headed back towards Naboo after they left here or back to the Jedi Temple if they weren't dispatched back to our home," Panaka said, his eyes crunched up in the Tatooine sun. "Of course, we have not checked the ports as of yet nor did we check the rest of the outskirts of the town."
"That would be impossible if they had left. We would have seen his ship come our way if he went back to Naboo. Besides, why would he want to take Anakin back to Coruscant so early?" Amidala demanded, clenching her hands together in balls of rage. She walked down the ramp that lead into the sand, her body turning around as she started to move towards where the town lay. She was more then ready to find the young boy and his Master even if she had to travel to Coruscant herself to get them. There was more then one way to track down a Jedi and she would find those ways even if it took her a long time to do so.
"Amidala! Wait! You don't know what is in that town!' Panaka called after her as he jumped off of the ramp and ran towards the queen in a huff. "It isn't like the other ones, even though I do regret letting you go into that one. Remember where we are and the type of towns these are."
"I don't care about how bad they are. I have been in one of these so-called horrible Tatooine towns before, haven't I?" She snapped back at him, not even bothering to look behind her as she quickened her pace towards the town. "It is like most of the cities on Naboo. Once you have visited one, you have visited them all."
"I figured you would say that much, Padme," He hissed out, using the other's handmaiden name that she had to use in order to keep her identity a secret from all that did not know it. Amidala stopped short once she heard that name, turning around as she reached the inner limits of Mos Eisley. The captain ran up to her, out of breath due to the fact that the twin suns were bearing down upon him. The ship wasn't that far from the town itself, although it was a considerable amount of walking in heat like this. "I figured you would at least stop at hearing that name. You....."
"Look, stop me...." She interrupted him but was then interrupted not a second later by the other himself.
".....had better get used to me using that name for you if you want to make your way around this town," Panaka finished before the queen could say another word to him.
".....all you.....huh?" Amidala asked, blinking her brown eyes at him in more then just impatience. "Explain, please."
"We have gotten this far with your pestering, and I know you wouldn't want to turn back now. We might as well go into the town and find those Jedi for you. We didn't come all this way for nothing" He shrugged, looking sheepish. "Besides, no matter how much security I would put around you, there would always be that chance that you would break out of it all."
"You know me all to well, captain," Amidala said, a smug look upon her face. She turned around and walked into the township, Panaka right behind her. It would be a day that neither one of them would forget.

Each had become restless, too tired of waiting for Siddious to make sure that the ship was ready for the trip into hyperspace, which had taken an hour already and it, by his standards, was no where near ready to make the jump. None understood the mutterings that the Sith whispered through his teeth, so they left him to do what he had to do instead of taking up more of his time asking questions.
"I know you want to go after these Saiyans, son," Cold said to Frieza as they stood outside the Sith's ship, sweating in the heat from the twin sun's above. Frieza stood next to his father, his arms crossed over his chest and a scowl on his face. He had long since paced from one end of the ship to the other, impatiently waiting for this ordeal to be over and done with so that they could get on with their plans to rule the universe. "We will go after this so-called Council first before we even bother going after them. Once this Council crumbles, so will the Jedi then the Saiyans."
"I don't want to wait for this to happen. I have waited long enough as it is already," Frieza said icily, his tail moving in anger as the Icejin narrowed his eyes in frustration. "Of course, whatever it takes to get them into my grasp once again I will attempt to follow. I want to have my revenge on them."
"Yes, of course. However, you need to calm down some, Frieza, as it is not setting an example for our future kingdom," His father said, stifling a yawn that was coming to his lips. He had said these words so many times in the past that it was just something that he spoke naturally to his son. It wasn't like he didn't care if Frieza went on a rampage, destroying things in his wake, but it wasn't something that he was too worried about.
"Where is Ginyu? I haven't seen him since we left the ship a while ago," Frieza said sharply, his ruby eyes looking around in sheer boredom.
"Perhaps in the ship, taking a nap, which doesn't sound like a bad idea. Or perhaps he is one of those cantinas that we were in earlier," Cold said, looking like he might do either idea at the moment. Frieza snorted, turning around as he walked back into the ship without replying to that. He knew he had to keep his anger in check so that he wouldn't ruin his chances of trying to defeat the Saiyans. Yet, his patience was thinning to a point where anything would happen if it hit him sharply enough.
And that would happen soon enough.
To Be Continued
Author's Note: Again, sorry about the length of this chapter. It is easier if I kept all the original chapter numbers instead of having to change each one to accommodate changes from the others. However, this one is actually longer then the original one (which was at 423 words without the title and the disclaimer), so that is better. Well, hope you have enjoyed the fic so far!
