It was finally the day Elya was to meet Padme Amidala and see if she was the family she'd been missing. Farr had arranged for Elya to meet with her at the opera so the whole group was going to need new outfits.

While the quartet were on their way through the streets, Farr asked her, "Pardon my intrusion and don't worry if you can't remember but, indulge me. Do you remember how you escaped during the siege of Coruscant?"

Elya racked her brain for memories, just like she'd been doing the whole time. Suddenly, something came to her.

"It was... a clone", she told him.

They all looked at her

"A clone?", Farr asked.

"That' right... he told us to run, me and Padme... we made it to the ship but we couldn't leave, not without... him", she explained before chuckling, "I'm sorry, that must sound insane."

"Wow", Farr muttered.

"Hey, you taught Fives how to waltz. Anything's possible", Echo joked.

Meanwhile, Fives was lost in thought. He looked as if he were staring into infinity.

Elya noticed his expression, grabbed his hand and told him, "Hey, we're in Theed! No need to look so lost!"

Farr, Fives, Chorus (Many, Single)

Welcome, my friends, to Naboo
Here, have a flower, you two
Forget where you're from
You're in Naboo!
Children, come
I'll show you Naboo's
"Joie de vivre!"

Oh, Theed holds the key you your heart
And all of our Theed plays a part.

You'll stroll two by two
Down what we call "la rue"

And soon all of Theed will be singing to you!
Ooh la, la! Ooh la, la! Ooh la, la!

Yes, Theed holds the key to l'amour!

And not even science knows the cure!

There's love in the air!

At the Follies Bergère!

Naboo has it down to an art!

Our Theed holds the key to your heart!
Ooh la la!

When you're feeling blue
Come to Le Moulin.
When your heart says don't
Naboo says do!

When you think you can't
You'll find you can, can!

Everyone can can-can
You can can-can too!

Yes, Theed holds the key to her past
Yes, Duchess, I've found you at last
No more pretend
You'll be gone,
That's the end...

Our Theed holds the key
To your heart!

You'll be "tres jolie"
And so smart!

Come dance through the night

And forget all your woes

A city of light!

Where a rose is a rose!

And one never knows
What will start!
Our Theed
Holds the key...

To her...

Heart!
Ooh la, la!
Ooh la, la!
