Chapter 1:
Senator Jar Jar Binks barely escaped from the attack on the landing pad with his life. His friend and bodyguard died in his arms, fulfilling his duty to protect the Senator from the Gungan Tribes of Naboo. Alsoa for a stoopid vote, Jar Jar thought. He sighed. He stood outside Chancellor Palpatine's office, trying to compose himself before entering, letting his body shake off all his worries and fears. It wasn't that he didn't trust Palpatine, it was more like he didn't trust himself around Palpatine. Jar Jar knew he had a knack for screwing things up and as a fresh senator, he wanted to ensure he left a good impression upon the most powerful man in the government. Especially when he was being targeted by unknown assailants who may or may not be connected to Count Dooku. Jar Jar's nerves got the best of him and he knock over a small vase. The receptionist rolled his eyes and motioned for Jar Jar and his closest confidants, all senators, to enter the office.
Jar Jar entered the room, his eyes scanning the faces around him, all Jedi. Master Yoda, rose from his seat gracefully and made his way to the senator.
“Senator Binks, your tragedy on the landing platform, terrible,” Yoda said, his head shaking in what Jar Jar assumed was remorse. Gungan were not known for reading body language. “Seeing you alive brings warm feelings to my heart.”
Jar Jar nodded. “Yousa have anys ideas of whosa behinds this attack?”
Mace Windu turned toward the senator. “Our intelligence points to disgruntled fisherman from Naboo.”
Jar Jar shook his head. “I thinksa Counta Dooku isa behind this.”
“He's a political idealist, not a murder,” Ki-Adi-Mundi stated.
“You know Senator Binks, Count Dooku was once a Jedi.” Mace Windu reminded. “He couldn't assassinate anyone, it's not in his character.” Jar Jar wasn't sure if he agreed with Mace Windu.
“But for certain, Senator in grave danger you are.” Jedi Yoda said. Jar Jar nodded in agreement.
“Master Jedi, may I suggest the senator be placed under the protection of your graces?” Jar Jar almost forgot Palpatine was in the room, before he heard the chancellor speak, his back facing everyone.
“Do you really think that's a wise decision under these stressful times?” Senator Organa asked
“Chancellor, Ifa I maysa comment. I doosa not believa...”
“The situation is that serious?” Palpatine interrupted, walking towards Jar Jar and the other senators, his robes flowing behind him. “No but I do Senator Binks. I realize all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you...but perhaps someone you're familiar with. An old friend, like Master Kenobi?”
Mace Windu nodded in agreement. “That's possible. He's just returned from a a border dispute on Anison.”
“Do it for me Senator Binks. Please?” Palpatine pleaded. “The thought of losing you is unbearable.” Jar Jar nodded.
"Itsa fine, Isa agree." Jar Jar said, his voice quiet.
“I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately Senator Binks.” Mace Windu informed.
Jar Jar nodded, grateful for the assistance, grateful that he made it five minutes without accidentally knocking someone over, grateful that he is able to see his friend Obi-Wan once more. “Thank yousa, Master Windu.”
