Ahsoka and Barris share their secrets with each other, but everyone has secrets that should stay that way. Ahsoka is hiding one, but Barris is hiding three. One night while talking about the secrets they keep, Ahsoka finds out about these secrets, but not what they are. She tries to get Barris to spill, but she's too ashamed of them. Ahsoka is determined to find out the secrets her best friend is keeping from her and why she's ashamed of them.
Ahsoka and Barris were having a little sleepover in Barris's quarters. Both their masters were on the same mission, so the girls decided to spend more time together. Ahsoka arrived at Barris's quarters at seven like they planned.
"Hello, Ahsoka. Right on time."
"Hi, Barris. This was a great idea. We should do this more often."
"I think we should see how the night turns out before we decide that."
"Alright." She put her things on Master Luminara's bed. "So, what should we do first?"
"Well, I figured we could first put on our pajamas and share secrets."
"Ooh, I have the perfect game for that. I'll explain after we get dressed." Ahsoka took her pajamas out of her sleeping bag. It was just a purple tank top and light blue shorts. Barris took out a short black sleeping gown. She went in the refresher to change. Ahsoka decided to change in the room. After they were both dressed, they sat in the middle of the room across from each other.
"So, what is this secrets game of yours?"
"It's not really a game, yet it is."
"I don't understand." Ahsoka giggled.
"I know. It's a bit confusing. It's called 'Embarrassing, Silly, or serious.' It's kinda like Truth or Dare in reverse. I tell you what kind of secret to tell and you tell it."
"Okay. You first."
"Alright. What's one of your... embarrassing secrets?"
"Oh. I don't know about that."
"Come on. What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?" She carefully thought about her answer, careful not to reveal another secret.
"Well, when I was a youngling, I was late for Master Yoda's class one day and I ran out of my room only half dressed."
"Oh my Force. That was you?"
"You saw?"
"Yes! I was like five or six when that happened. I had no idea that was you."
"Oh my gosh."
"Don't worry. No one else will know about that."
"Thank you. Okay, your turn. What's one of your embarrassing secrets? What was your most embarrassing moment?" She bit her lip.
"I almost don't want to answer that."
"I told you mine. You have to tell me yours."
"Alright. One time, my master and I were cleaning up our quarters. I slipped on something and accidently kissed him when I fell."
"Oh gosh. Really?"
"Yes. It was so embarrassing. We said we would never speak of it again and I promised I wouldn't tell anybody."
"Your secret is safe with me."
"Thanks. What's a serious secret of yours?"
"Oh, I don't know about that one."
"Come on, Barris. Everything we say here stays in this room and between us."
"Alright." She took a deep breathe. "When I was fourteen, I was almost lost my life when I got hit by a speeder."
"Oh my gosh. How did you get hit with a speeder?"
"I was walking around downtown Coruscant and a drunk Rodian lost control of his speeder when he passed out. I tried to move out of the way, but I didn't move fast enough. The medics said I'd be lucky if I live past fourty. The damage was bad, but I'm alive."
"Who found you?"
"Master Kenobi was in the area when he heard the crash. He came over to make sure everyone was okay and found me."
"I'm so sorry, Barris. I had no idea you went through that."
"It's okay. I'm alive and that's the important thing. What about you? What's a serious secret of yours?"
"There's not really much to say. When I was born, I was marked for death."
"Really?"
"Yes. My village didn't think I would survive my infancy, but I'm still here. When my species are marked for death, we usually die at a very young age. I've been close to death numerous times, but I've made it through it all. I don't give up easily."
"I think everyone who knows you knows that." She rolled her eyes.
"Okay. Back to the game." They spent most of the night telling secrets, silly stories about the other Jedi Master and Padawans, and about what they planned to do when they became Jedi Knights and have Padawans of their own. When it was about one in the morning, they decided to go to sleep. Ahsoka laid out her sleeping bag on the floor.
"Ahsoka, why don't you just sleep in my master's bed?"
"It would feel akward for me to sleep in Master Luminara's bed. I'm fine on the floor."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Do you mind if I joined you?"
"Not at all." Barris got her pillow and sheets and laid next to Ahsoka.
"Tonight was fun."
"It was. I think we should do this again."
"I told you it would be fun."
"That you did."
"Well, I think we should go to sleep now. Goodnight, Barris."
"Goodnight, Ahsoka." Ahsoka laid on her side where she was most comfortable and closed her eyes. Barris stayed on her back, but didn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about what would happen if Ahsoka knew her three biggest secrets. No one knows about them, not even her master. She wants her secrets to go away, but they won't. Two are emotional and can't easily go away. The biggest one of all is physical and can't go away at all. She was confused on what to do. She wanted someone to know, but she didn't want to be laughed at or called names. She looked over at Ahsoka, who was peacefully asleep. Barris laid on her side and stared at her peaceful and beautiful face. Barris knew that Ahsoka would never feel anything for her. She never got her hopes up. She was afraid that if she did and told Ahsoka how she felt, Ahsoka would laugh in her face and say she would never be with her. She slowly closed her eyes and went to sleep.
