IMPORTANT A/N: This story was written a while ago and isn't the best writing. Feel free to read it but I've read over it and I really don't like the way I wrote it. My new story An Unexpected Spark is more recent and is better quality writing. I'm just warning you.

Chapter 1: The Chosen Youngling
POV: Ahsoka

I woke up in my dorm with the sun in my eyes. I sat up and stretched, before getting up. My two best friends, Keyla and Jess, were only just getting up too. There was an uncomfortable silence in our room. Today was a big day for all of us. One of us was going to become a Padawan today, and the others would stay younglings. After a lot of yawns and stretches, we all entered the refresher together. Our room was really big. Well, a lot bigger than the other younglings anyway. We began to change and get ready for our day. This had become a daily routine for us. We all got up together, got ready together and left the dorm together.

Ever since I first came to the temple, Kelya and Jess have been my best friends. Keyla is a Twilek, and Jess is human. I'm a Togruta. We all arrived at the temple on the same day. Even though we were only six years old then, from the moment we met, we knew we would be best friends.

Jess, is the kind of funny friend that everyone has who will always make you laugh, even when you're crying and the world seems to be turning on you. Keyla, she was nearly opposite. She's very responsible and was always there to give me a hug when I needed one. I'm kind of in the middle, I like to have a laugh, but I'll be serious when I have to be. Even though we are all so different, it's what makes us the best of friends. Our differences tie us together.

We like to think of ourselves like a triangle. Sounds a bit stupid doesn't it? The way we see it, in a triangle, if one of the points breaks, the whole triangle falls apart. We are like that. Without one we're not complete. If one is sad, all are sad. If one is nervous, we are all nervous for them. It's just how we are. We have been told by some of the Master's not to become too attached, because it may get us in trouble one day, but we feel we can get through whatever is thrown at us. And now, 10 years later, we're sixteen and still best friends, and we have a chance to become a Padawan.

We finished getting ready and went back into the bedroom. Still, no one had spoken a word. If one of us is chosen to become a Padawan, they will have to move out, into a dorm with their new Master. We would hardly see them anymore as well, but we promised each other it wouldn't affect our friendship. Whoever was chosen, we would be happy for them, not envy them or hate them for being chosen.

"You guys ready?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Well, even if we're not, we still have to go don't we?" Jess said. We all giggle together as we tidied up our clothes and belongings before we were going to leave. It was a habit of ours, to make sure everything was in place and tidy before we left. I don't really remember when we started that. We just, did.

"Ok, if one of us is chosen, we all promise nothing will compromise our friendship?" Keyla asked seriously. Jess and I nodded in agreement. We had a group hug before taking a deep breath and heading out towards the council chambers.

We walked, arms linked until we reached the large royal-blue doors. It was one of the rules of the Jedi, when you are asked to the council chambers; you wait outside the doors until you're called in. We were told to be ready at 07 00. It was 06 58. Two minutes….Two minutes until my life could change forever…I thought to myself. We stood waiting in silence, until three other younglings were seen walking towards us. Two boys and another girl – they also shared a dorm. They walked proudly towards us, giving us foul looks. They were our competition. I wasn't worried though. During our teachings my friends and I had always been more skilled at the practises. Besides, they're all just stubborn brats, who would want them as an apprentice? But that was just my opinion; the Master's might have a different view upon them. That reminded me, they hadn't even told us who we would be assigned to if we were chosen. I guess we would have to wait and see.

"Well if it isn't the three Musketeers," the girl, Zennah laughed. The twin boys, Jereth and Damean, joined in the laughter, but we just stood there. I mentally kicked myself. I had actually had a crush on Damean once, until I saw who he truly was. But that was years ago, and I don't plan on revisiting the past.

"Oh well I suppose that makes you guys the Three Little Pigs then," Jess countered. We all burst into laughter as they accepted defeat.

"Look you little rats, it's gonna be one of us who becomes a Padawan today. So just, don't take it too hard while you stay younglings for another year." Zennah said with a smirk. Before we could say another word, the doors opened and we entered huge council chambers.

They pushed passed us to enter first and we waited patiently before entering calmy. As we walked through the doors all could be heard from the six of us were lots of 'Ooooh's and 'Aaaah's. The chambers we huge. All decorated beautifully with ceilings that climbed high towards the clouds. Glass windows extended from roof to floor and outside the windows was the outdoor training areas and an amazing view of Coruscant. I had no idea how high the temple really was… The whole room was decorated with furniture and ornaments all in shades of blue and white. In the back corner, was a space surrounded by floating candles and cushions on the floor. Meditation. The space was for meditating. There were masters meditating there right now. It was something I wished to learn one day. Our teachers told us that some of the great masters could meditate for up to 6 hours. Relaxing the mind and finding inner peace. Most other younglings found it time wasting and boring. I just found it, interesting….

I looked to my friends and they looked back at me. We smiled to each other and continued our long walk through the room, where the masters were waiting for us at the end. As we arrived, we all stood in a line and bowed out of respect. As I glanced around I saw many great Jedi, including Master Yoda and Master Windu. From what I saw, there seemed to be about a dozen Jedi all staring at us.

"Welcome younglings." Master Windu begun. "Today one of you will be awarded the rank of Padawan, and will be beginning your new training under the guidance of Master Skywalker." As he said this, whispers erupted among the younglings.

"He's apparently the chosen one!" Keyla whispered excitedly to Jess and I. Everyone seemed so amazed, like he was some great God. Honestly I don't think he was any better than any other Jedi in the room. I caught him smirking, and then he looked to me. I gave him an untrusted look. He raised his eyebrow and I looked away, slightly intimidated.

"Silence Padawan's" Windu boomed. "Skywalker, these are the best younglings of their class. Choose your apprentice wisely." He gave him a serious look and I wondered what that meant…. Everyone else seemed to be really 'in the moment', but I was the type of person always taking a closer look at things, and being cautious. And right now, something seemed really, fishy about Skywalker. I wasn't sure if I should feel afraid, or curious. The other master's left, leaving just me, the other younglings, and Skywalker. As he walked towards us, I saw the other younglings smiling and trying to impress, but I eyed him carefully. I didn't trust him. His gaze was locked on me until he reached Jereth, the other Twilek. He looked towards him and Jereth introduced himself.

"I'm Jereth. It's a pleasure to meet you Master Skywalker." He said, smirking. Ugh, show off…Skywalker nodded in approval and moved along to Zennah. She introduced herself as well, acting very, girly. Well, more than typical, she already had a crush on him. I could see he felt awkward around her when he moved along quickly. The other Padawan's introduced themselves including Jess and Keyla, then he finally reached me, at the end of the line.

"And what might your name be, youngling?" He said. He put an emphasis on 'youngling' and it annoyed me.

"Tano". I said flatly.

"Is that your first name?" He asked. Before I could respond, Zennah butted in.

"Her name's Ahsoka Master." She said. "And she's a little brat…" I heard her add quietly.

Master Skywalker turned to her and folded his arms in front of her. "Would you like to repeat that young lady?" He said angrily.

"N-no, Master. I apologise." She stuttered.

"Don't apologise to me, apologise to Ahsoka." He said, pointing at me. As much as I thought something was up with him, I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Sorry Ahsoka." Zennah said blankly. I accepted it nonetheless.

"Thank you younglings. I have a difficult choice to make. I will contact one of you when I chose my apprentice. That person I contact will be the one. Dismissed." He said. As we left, I could have sworn I saw him smile and wink at me. I smiled back at him and left with my friends.

Once we got back to the dorm Keyla shut the door quickly and sat down on the mat pulling us down with her.

"Force Ahsoka you soo have a crush on Master Skywalker!" She whispered excitedly. I was shocked. I did not, have a crush on him.

"What?!" I whispered. "I do not!" I said, smiling for some reason…

"She's right Ahsoka. How long have we known you? 10 years? We can tell. It's really obvious to us." Jess said, nodding.

"But I'm serious I don't!" Again, I was smiling. I even felt myself blushing a little…What was this? I did not have a crush on him. Besides, he was like, five years older than me…It would just be weird, wouldn't it?

"Ahsoka, stop denying it. You know ya love 'im!" Jess joked. We all laughed. It was still early, so we decided to go down to the outdoor training areas to get some more practice in. We trained for about two hours before my comlink started beeping. Jess and Keyla had gone for a run, so they didn't see me take the message. It was a recorded message of what sounded like Windus voice.

"Ahsoka Tano, once this message has completed you are to come straight to the council chambers. Bring no one. Tell no one you are coming. I think you may already know what this is about. Come now." And the transmission ended. I began to ready myself when Kelya and Jess arrived back from their run.

"Hey. Where…you going?" Kelya asked, panting.

"I've just got to go to the bathroom, I'll be back soon."

"Oh wait….a couple…of minutes. I'll….come with you."

"I can't, I really need to pee. Like, now. I'll meet you guys back at the dorm later." I said, and I ran off.

I arrived outside the chambers and began to fix my clothes and tidy my Lekku. I couldn't believe it. I was becoming a Padawan. Me! Oh wait till I tell Zennah… Before I had time to do anything else, the doors opened once again, and I walked to the same part of the room I was in last time. This time, only Master Yoda, Master Windu, and that untrustworthy Skywalker were there. I felt intimidated, two of them were the most powerful Jedi in the Order, and the other was apparently 'The Chosen One'.

"Ahsoka," Yoda began. "Chosen you have been, by Skywalker, to become a Padawan. A great honor, this is. Train hard, you must. Learn new things, you will. To be a good Padawan, respect your Master, obey your Master." He said wisely. I nodded to each point he made.

"Skywalker," He said, motioning to me. He stepped closer to me with something in his hand. I flinched back, I was scared of people that I didn't trust. The last time I trusted someone I didn't know, I was nearly….violated. The thought still pains me to this day, and has caused me to become afraid of men and older boys.

"Don't be afraid of me, I won't hurt you," He said with a warm smile. I still didn't trust, him, but I stepped forward back to my original position. He carefully put a Padawan braid in between my right and back Lekku. Then he turned to face me and put his hands on my shoulders.

"It is a pleasure to be receiving you as my Padawan Ahsoka. I will train you and teach you to the best of my ability and I hope you become a great Jedi Knight one day." He said kindly. Maybe I could trust him…

"Thank you Master." I replied.

"Dismissed," Windu said. My Master began to walk towards the doors. I stood there sheepishly, unsure of where to go.

"Are you coming Snips?" He said, smirking. I giggled at the new nickname and ran after him. Once I caught up, I slowed down back to a walking pace.

"Snips?" I asked.

"Yeah. You're my snippy little Padawan. I could see you didn't trust me before, with those looks." He said smirking.

"I don't just give out trust, it has to be earned." I said. "…Especially after what happened with that guy…" I mumbled.

"What was that?" He asked.

"Nothing" I said quickly. He let it slide, but I knew he would bring it up again soon, and I was going to have to tell him. No one else new. Except for Keyla and Jess of course. We kept no secrets between us.

We walked to my dorm, and he stopped. "My dorm is up two floors and its right at the end of the corridor, the biggest one. You'll know it when you see it.

"Okay Master." I replied. He walked away still looking at me and I didn't move my gaze either. He seemed, different. But I still had to be careful.

I unlocked my door and stepped inside to see Keyla and Jess standing in front of me, looking very expectant. I think they already knew. I had some explaining to do about my very long trip to the bathroom. I internally chuckled as I began to tell them everything.

POV: Anakin

Wow, she's so, different, to any other youngling I've met. All the others look at me like I'm some holy angel. Not her though… I could see she didn't trust me, but she would learn to soon. I loved her snippy personality, but she seemed a little shy. That's another thing that would help her with when she's with me. As I reflected over my new Padawan, I realized I had made the best choice. I can see us with a close relationship in the future.

I reached my dorm and sat on my bed, waiting for her arrival. I had another bed moved in this morning, so she didn't have to wait for one to be moved in later. I sensed Ahsoka coming down the hallway. I heard her pulling something heavy along the carpet, probably her big bag. Her voice strained as she pulled with all her might. I thought maybe I should help her, but she needed to learn to get on on her own. She finally reached the door. I watched the door hiss open, her pants in the background.
