She missed him. Ahsoka had felt the moment Anakin Skywalker had returned from Darth Vader. She had felt the pulse of light through the force and when she had reached out, his force signature had returned to the one she originally knew. But it had only lasted a minute and then she had felt the pain once more. This was her own pain as his force signature left this world. She had gasped as she felt it, and sadness had racked her body. She hadn't known what had exactly happened until after hearing it from Leia, who had told her as a trusted advisor.

Ahsoka closed her eyes, focussing and concentrating on the force, feeling its power. She could, if she searched, feel him still, though he was now in another realm. All of a sudden though, she could feel him closer to her. She opened her eyes in shock, glancing around. Before her, standing just in front of the window was her master. A transparent, blue force ghost of her master. It took her a moment to wipe the look of shock off her face before she smiled at him.

"Welcome back," she whispered, looking him up and down. He looked around the age he was when she knew him, in the Clone Wars. He was even wearing the same clothes.

"Ahsoka," he said, before pausing and she waited expectantly, "I'm so sorry." he finished.

She stood, moving to stand before him, and crossing her arms. "Obi Wan told me about Palpatine. I don't completely blame you." she told him. "Although if you weren't a ghost right now I would at least punch you." she said, smirking.

Anakin smiled slightly, before his face returned to the solemn, sad one he wore a moment before. "I hunted you, I tried to kill you."

Ahsoka nodded, "Didn't work." she said simply.

"Didn't work out too well for you either." he replied, glancing at the jagged scar stretching down along her arm, he knew exactly how she acquired it.

"Anakin," she sighed. It was weird to use his name. She had hardly ever used it as his padawan and she hadn't exactly been using it since the Empire rose either. "I honestly don't blame you. None of us even suspected Palpatine, and his powers and manipulation were too much for any of us."

"I was supposed to bring balance..."

"You always hated that prophecy." she interjected. "Plus, technically you did." she pointed out. "You helped restore order here."

"I killed..."

"Enough!" she said, her voice raising slightly. "What do you want me to say? That you were horrible, a monster, a sith? Because you were but you recognised that was wrong and you sacrificed yourself to save your son and the galaxy I'd add."

Anakin looked at her for a moment, eyes searching hers. She sat back down on the bench, Anakin sitting beside her. She didn't bother to question how he could sit as a ghost. The force, she'd learnt worked in odd ways.

"I'm sorry I left you," she whispered after a moment. Since she found out, she had spent many restless nights, dark moments wondering if it was somehow her fault. Wondering what would have happened if she stayed. Would she have been able to stop this, calm him even slightly?

"Ahsoka, you saw the error in the council and you took the right course of action. And when you saw injustice you fought it, fought me, to try and make the galaxy right again." There was a moments silence, before Anakin spoke again. "I missed you." he admitted. "In the Clone Wars I kept thinking in the middle of a battle you'd be beside me and I'd have to stop myself and remember you weren't."

Ahsoka smiled. "You'd gotten used to me saving you all the time."

"Don't push it," he replied shooting her a playful glare. "When did you know I was the sith?"

"I didn't know for sure until you told me in that fight." She said thoughtfully, "But I think I suspected from the first attack on the rebel fleet. The fancy flying seemed familiar."

Anakin nodded. Both sat in silence for a while, it was odd that they could talk about it so relatively easily now, considering the pain it had caused both of them but both were comfortable and at ease with each other.

"What do I do now?" Ahsoka asked, after a while, looking up at Anakin.

He looked down at her, "There's still more imperials that need cutting down and ships that need blasting. I'm sure you could come in handy there."

Ahsoka smirked, she knew she could, but she had the feeling Anakin had more to say.

"Watch over him." Anakin said and Ahsoka inclined her head, questioning him slightly.

"Luke," Anakin clarified. "Watch over him for me. He wants to discover, teach him all about the Jedi order, the good things, so he can use them, and the bad so he can learn from it. Make sure he doesn't follow his father's path."

Ahsoka glared at him, "His father needs to stop wallowing in self pity." she quipped.

"His father was an idiot."

She shrugged, "Hmm but his father had emotions and I say that's a strength not a weakness. It's only because they were manipulated and used that he was an idiot."

"You've gotten wiser." Anakin said smiling.

Ahsoka nodded, before remembering something. "His sister is force sensitive as well." Ahsoka said. And Anakin's head snapped up. "She looks like Padme." she told him.

"You knew, all along didn't you?"

"You didn't exactly hide it very well."

Anakin smiled and Ahsoka continued, "I've been watching over Skywalkers since I first met you." she joked. "Two more now won't hurt."

Anakin laughed and the sound of his laughter made Ahsoka's smile widen. "Speaking of, I should probably go talk to him"

"He doesn't know about you, does he?"

"I didn't know what to tell him, when..." she started, trailing off. They both knew the time period she was referring to. She stood, and Anakin did as well, the pair stood face to face.

"I'm so proud of you, Ahsoka." he said. "Everyday you were my padawan I was proud of you, and I'm so proud of you now."

Ahsoka let a tear slide down her cheek, "You were the best master I could have had." she replied. And she meant it. They had worked so well together and even when they were apart, or enemies even, he had given her the tools and training to survive.

"Goodbye, Skyguy" she whispered, as his body shimmered and started to fade.

She caught Anakin's eyeroll as he faded but he was grinning at her, "Snips." she caught his voice as his body disappeared from view.

It only took her a moment to realise she still wasn't alone and turned to see a very startled Luke standing in the doorway.

"You knew him?" he cried, rushing into the room. Ahsoka turned to him, smiling.

"Oh, I knew him." she replied, sitting back down and patting the space beside her.
