Sorry it's been so long since I've updated, I got a case of DWB. I'll *try* to put something up today, but I don't know if I can.

I don't know when I can get a post up. I'll try this weekend because I've got a long weekend, but I'm kinda busy and I'd like to get a beta for the story.

New reader alert. I love these little stories about Padme babysitting Valin Hayclon, it make's you wonder how Hal Horn (aka Valin,) turned out so serious in the future when he worked for Core-sec. He was certainly a stern father to Corran. devil

I hope you continue, because these stories are really bright and cheerful. grin

I have finally overcome DWB, so here's the post:

~~~~~~

Valin couldn’t believe it. “I have to go to a political dinner?”

“Yes,” Padme said. “And the Chancellor will be there, so you’d better be on your best behavior. Not that him being somewhere has stopped you before.”

Val sighed. He really hated going to dinners that CorSec agents and their families went to, but this would be a million times worse. At least Dad and Ros are at those stupid CorSec things. They’re not here now!

Valin sighed. “Stop sighing, Vally, you’re making this so hard!” Yane said. Val sighed and held still while she brushed his hair. The former handmaidens had decided that it would be fun to join Dorme tonight, so they were going as well.

“Ohmygosh, you look so hansom! Sache exclaimed.

Val stuck his tongue out. “Sweetie, keep your tongue in your mouth,” Sabe admonished with a smile as she breezed past. Right after he’d put in tongue where it belonged, Rabe swooped down and hugged him so hard he lost his breath.

“Great job, Yane,” Eirtae told her friend. “He looks great!”

Valin sighed. This was going to be a long night.

******

Valin wiggled in his seat. A bunch of different politicians were giving speeches, but they sounded like lectures. And they were as long as lectures, too.

Valin sighed. He knew that if he did anything bad, Padme and Dorme would kill him, but he couldn’t help being really bored. I’d rather be doing Master Yoda’s meditation exercises than this!

Val started drumming his fingers on the table, and only stopped when Padme put her fingers over hers. He noticed that a lot of people were looking at the two of them. Padme just gave a gracious and apologetic smile, and they turned their attention back to the speaker.

“Padme, I have to use the refresher,” Valin whispered in her ear.

“I’m not falling for that one again, Valin.”

“No, I really have to go!”

“Well, it would be rude to leave in the middle of the speech. You’ll have to wait.” Valin gave her a pleading look. “I’m sorry, Val, but I can’t do anything about it.”

******

Luckily, the speeches only lasted for a few more minutes. When they were done, Val nearly sprinted out of the chamber and into the refresher. When he got back, he realized that dinner had started.

Padme hadn’t coached him on table manners, because he said that his mother had taught him how to behave. Padme had put some food on his plate when he was gone, but he didn’t recognize any of it.

Well, Mom says I have to try everything, so here goes. Val decided to start with the sort of white egg-looking thing. He reached for a fork, and realized that there were three—to big ones and a tiny one. Why would someone need more than one fork?

He decided that the egg thing looked pretty slippery anyway, so he picked up one of the spoons and scooped it up. “Valin, eat the oyster properly,” Padme hissed.

Oh, so that’s what this is. An oyster. “How do I eat an oyster?” he whispered back.

Padme glared at him. “You said you knew table manners,” she said.

“I do! Do reach in front of someone for food, don’t stuff my face, try everything, and don’t play with my food. No one ever said anything about oysters or three forks.”

Padme sighed. Apparently she hadn’t been clear enough. Please, please let me get through the night without any major mistakes on his part. “You eat the oyster with the little fork.”

“Okay.” Valin set oyster back on the plate and picked up the little fork. Padme smiled reassuringly at the people around them.

Val took one bite of the oyster and grimaced. “Don’t do that with your face,” Padme muttered.

“Sorry, but this oyster tastes really bad.”

“Then don’t eat it, but don’t let your emotions show on your face.”

“Like Dad and Ros when they place sabacc?”

Padme held back a sigh. That wasn’t the best example, but at least the boy knew what she was talking about. “Exactly. A sabacc face.”

“Okay.”

Valin moved on to the meat she had put on his plate. Okay, this looks normal. At least I know what it is.

He realized that he actually didn’t know what it was once he took a bite. Even using the sabacc face his father had taught him, he couldn’t keep back a grimace. He swallowed the piece of meat with great difficulty. “What is this?” he asked Padme.

“Salted codfer.”

“Emphasis on salted.”

“Valin!” Padme hissed, exasperated.

She looked up and saw Bail Organa, the senator from Alderaan, signaling to her. “I’ll be right back,” she whispered, and went to join Bail.

“No, don’t leave me!” Val tried to whisper, but she was already gone.

He looked at a pile of orange mush on his plate. Mom says try everything. He took a bite, but it tasted so horrible he couldn’t even manage to swallow it. He spit it into his napkin, hoping no one noticed.

He wasn’t so lucky. The senator sitting next to him chuckled. “You’re not a fan of the mashed flatano, I see.”

Valin’s face turned red, but the just laughed. “I don’t like it either.”

“Well, Mom says to try everything on my plate.”

“Then I’d advise not letting Senator Amidala pick out your food for you.” The man had a nice accent. It sounded pretty familiar . . .

“Are you Corellian?”

“Sure am. Mike Andolla, at your service.” He winked.

“I’m Valin Halcyon.”

“Pleased to meet you, Valin Halcyon,” Senator Andolla said, shaking his hand. “Is your father Neeja Halcyon?”

Valin flushed with pride. The senator knew his father! “Yep.”

“He’s a good man. I’ve met him a few times.” The senator mussed Val’s hair. “But what are you doing at a political dinner? Hal usually avoids these things like the plague.”

“He’s on a mission, so Padme—Senator Amidala, I mean—is babysitting me. She dragged me here,” Valin said glumly.

“Well, Valin, let me give you some advice. Eat real food before you come, and just have a salad here.” The senator put some salad into a bowl and passed it to Val.

“Thanks a bunch,” Val said, already digging into it.

******

Padme and Bail were joined by Senator Vadana of Kuat. “Senator Amidala, is that young man in your care?”

Assuming she meant Valin, Padme said, “Yes.”

Senator Vadana gestured to where the aforementioned young man was sitting with the Corellian senator. He was ignoring the food on his plate and just eating a salad. “Then you might want to teach him to eat properly before you bring him here.”

Padme smiled, but inside she was seething. “Thank you for alerting me, Senator.”

“Of course.”

After Vadana left, Padme smiled apologetically at Bail. “Excuse me, Bail, but I need to go make sure Valin isn’t creating a mess.”

“Of course,” he replied with a knowing smile.”

Padme marched over to Valin’s seat. “Valin, what do you think you’re doing?”

“Mike said I should eat real food before I come and just eat a salad here. Besides, the salad’s the only thing that tastes good,” he replied as if it should be obvious.

Then Padme realized that her young charge was sitting next to Mike Andolla, the Corellian senator. “Sorry for moving in on your territory, Senator Amidala,” he said with a smile, “but this poor kid was starving.”

“It’s quite alright,” she assured him, but she shot Valin a look. He gulped, knowing that she was going to lecture him about it when they were home.

Okay, post is finally here!!!

~~~~~~

“The harpies are gone! The harpies are gone! Valin yelled. He had been left at home with a strict warning from Dorme while she and Padme took the handmaidens to the spaceport.

Valin didn’t actually know what the word harpies meant, but his father said it when his mother’s sisters left, so he figured that the handmaidens were harpies, too. Val assumed that it was a bad word, because Scerra got mad at Nejaa every time he said it. Val didn’t care if it was a bad word, though. He was just glad that they were gone.

Unfortunately, they had locked him in the refresher. Dorme had wanted to take him along so that they could keep an eye on him, but Padme said they needed to say goodbye without him.

Valin had promised that he would be good at home alone, but they didn’t believe him. Padme had wanted to lock him in his room, but he had opened his big mouth and asked, “What if I need to use the refresher?” So Dorme locked him in the refresher with some toys and no way to get out.

“What if I get hungry?” he had asked her. Dorme had just said that they wouldn’t be gone long and he would survive.

I wonder if it’s against the law to lock a kid up in a refresher and leave? Valin wondered. Then he got and idea. He could find out!

Val looked around the refresher. There wasn’t a comlink on the wall, but the girl used their little portable ones all the time. He figured that at least one of them had left one here, and if it was in the refresher, he knew where it would be.

Valin started sifting through Dorme and Padme’s extensive collection of makeup. There was more stuff in here then he thought actually existed. What do girls need all this stuff for anyway? he thought.

After a few minutes of searching, Val found what he was looking for. He thumbed the comlink on and dialed Coruscant Security. “You’ve reached Coruscant Security, what’s the emergency?” a female voice said.

“My name is Valin Halcyon, and I’m locked in the refresher,” he said.

“You’re locked in the refresher? How old are you?”

“I’m ten. The people who are babysitting me locked me in there so I wouldn’t wreck the house while they dropped their friends off at the spaceport.”

“Can you please give me the names of the people who are babysitting you and the address of the place you are at?” she asked seriously.

Valin gave her Padme’s name and the address, and then said not to shut of the connection. “So, how are you today? Val asked.

“What?”

“How are you doing? How’s work?”

“Uh . . . work’s fine.” Val rolled his eyes. He finally had someone to talk to and they didn’t want to talk.

“Look, if you aren’t going to talk to me, then I’m going to end the connection and call Nyche or Mom or someone.”

“Where is your mother, and what is her name? Who is Nyche?”

“My parents are CorSec Agent Jedi Knight Nejaa Halcyon and Scerra Halcyon. Dad’s on some Jedi mission with Anakin Skywalker, and Mom’s at home, as far as I know. Nyche is my friend. She’s pretty good. She’s wicked good with old stuff.”

“Where does your mother live?” the operator asked.

“Corellia.”

“And why are you staying with Senator Naberrie?”

“I told you. My dad’s on a Jedi mission. He and Padme are friends and stuff. I’ve kinda been getting in trouble a lot, though. ‘Cause once they gave me candy and I got really hyper and stuff, and once I snuck out of the house and stole a speeder and crashed into chancellor Palpatine’s speeder, and last night—”

“It seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of trouble.”

“Yeah. Well, you’re kinda boring, so I’m gonna call Nyche. Bye!”

“Wait, don’t cut—” Val cut the connection and dialed Nyche’s number.

“Hello?” a young girl’s voice said.

“Hey, Nyche, it’s Val.”

“Val! What’s up? Are you still on Coruscant?”

“Yep. Padme and Dorme locked me in the refresher.”

Nyche giggled. “Seriously?”

“Yep. I found a comlink in with the makeup and called Coruscant Security.”

Nyche laughed. “You are quite a character.”

Val sighed. “Nych, you’re using big words again.”

“Sorry. You’re very funny.”

“Oh, before I forget, I’ve gotta tell you about the political dinner last night—”

Valin stepped back as the refresher door was unlocked and two security men with blasters entered the room. “Are you Valin Halcyon?” one of them asked.

“Yes I am. Hey Nyche, the security guys are here.”

“That’s good. Have fun with them!”

“Will do. See ya.”

“Bye.”

“Okay, kid, let’s get you out of here. We’re going to locate the senator, but you have to go down to the station so we can ask some questions.”

“I already answered them,” Val said. “I told the lady on the comlink. But she’s really boring. I think you need to get someone else for her job.”

The security guy rolled his eyes. “C’mon, kid, let’s go.”

******

Padme was a bit sad as she and Dorme walked into the house. She loved all her handmaidens, and wished that they could have stayed longer. They were a big help with Valin.

She was surprised to see a security officer inside. “Can we help you, officer?” she asked slowly, wondering what he was doing there.

“Are you Senator Padme Naberrie?”

“Yes,” she said cautiously.

“We got a call from Valin Halcyon saying that you had locked him in the refresher while you went out. Ma’am, that is against the law. I’ll have to escort you down to the station.”

Padme sighed. Go figure.

******

It took several hours to convince the proper authorities that they hadn’t known that they weren’t allowed to lock Valin in the refresher, and that they were very sorry and the incident wouldn’t be repeated.

When the security people let Valin out, he grinned weakly at Padme. Her glare promised punishment. “Valin . . .”

Valin gulped. “April Fools?”

“It’s July.”
