Luna didn't know what to think. Here she was, sitting on the counter in the kitchen, staring at two Jedi and a Galactic Senator from another planet.

And she could touch them, sense them through the energy waves she could open herself up to, and they had not disappeared in all the time it had been since she had woken up.

She was still in shock and didn't know what to believe at the moment.

"We're here, could you tell us what's going on?" Anakin asked.

"What do you want to know?" Luna replied staring at some nonexistent point in front of her. She'd answer their questions. Maybe she wasn't crazy.

She most certainly though she wasn't desperate enough for her mind to imagine something like this happening to her, but the idea that they were here and were real was a bit much.

"Luna?"

"Sorry, what?" Luna asked, her mind snapping back to the present as she looked up at Obi-Wan.

"We were wondering if you could tell us where the nearest spaceport was?" Obi-Wan asked gently.

"Uh...." Luna started, not exactly knowing how to answer that. "There....are....no....spaceports?"

"How about a ship that could take us back to Coruscant?"

Luna was already shaking her head, realizing that they needed to know way more than any of them thought.

It also began to increase the minsull belief that they were real.

"Well, surely there's something," Padmé said.

"Look, Senator, Master Jedi, maybe I should explain some things first," Luna told them. "Such as why I am so dead set on the fact you are a figment of my imagination."

"I was going to ask that," Anakin muttered.

"How do I put this...." Luna muttered thinking before getting off the counter and going upstairs. "Meet me in the living room.... Don't disappear while I'm gone."

Anakin traded a look with Obi-Wan.

"She really doesn't think we are real," Obi-Wan said.

"That doesn't make any sense," Anakin replied shaking his head as the three of them moved to the living room. The house they were in was empty save for themselves and Luna, but it looked like a lot of people lived here.

"What do you think it means?" Padmé asked them as she sat down on a couch, Anakin sitting beside her. Obi-Wan remained standing.

"I don't know. Let's let Luna explain her part and then we can begin asking questions, but Anakin, be mindful of her," Obi-Wan cautioned. "We don't know who she is, and she is acting very strangely."

"I know, but I feel like we should trust her," Anakin replied. Further conversation was put off by Luna running into the room. She halted upon seeing them, blushing slightly. Anakin still didn't know what to make of her. She already knew who the three of them were, which would make sense being that they were all well known, he and Obi-Wan being famous Jedi and Padmé being a senator. But having met someone who knew them and thought that they were still not real after talking to them was unnerving.

"Okay, so I'm guessing that you two just got back from rescuing the chancellor, right?" Luna asked them, gesturing to Anakin and Obi-Wan.

"That is correct," Anakin told her. She nodded.

"Okay, so Artoo and whatever files on the Invisible Hand that survived the landing would be the only way to get holos of the rescue, correct?"
