Ahsoka's Issue
It has been 5 months since the events of The Last of the Sith. Ahsoka is having difficulty with Temple life. She had always wanted her own room to live on her own, but never realized how devoid and quiet it was. She wants to live with those who she considers family, but she also wants to continue to prove herself to her former Master. What she doesn't know is that her former Master only wants what's best for her. He instead makes an offer that she wants to accept, but is afraid of what he'll say.
THIS IS A SORT OF SMALL IN-BETWEEN STORY ONESHOT, WITH MORE THAN ONE CHAPTER!

Chapter One
Obi-Wan Speaks to Ahsoka
It was nearly midnight when Obi-Wan walked by the Room of a Thousand Fountains, and was surprised to see Ahsoka sitting on one of the benches, apparently not her usual self. He concealed himself in the Force, and waited for a while. Her thoughts were pouring out as her emotions betrayed her. She was having, and had been having for months now, a difficult time with Temple life, and wished she could live with people she considered family. Obi-Wan immediately knew who she was thinking of, none other than his former Padawan, also her former Master, Anakin. He wasn't all too surprised either. He knew of the bond between them, how strong it was. In fact, he knew it was stronger than his own bond with Anakin. He had felt it growing each and every time he saw them together. Perhaps now was a good time to speak to her about it and offer some advice. He dropped his stealth slow enough so she wouldn't be alarmed, then walked over to her.
"Master Kenobi! I didn't think you would be up this late." Ahsoka greeted him, trying to keep her normal composure. Obi-Wan, however, was seeing right through it and she knew it.
"Well, I was on my way back to my own quarters to rest, but I sensed you were disturbed." he replied. She looked up at him.
'Well, might as well just spit it out. He already knows I'm feeling down anyway. No point in trying to make him think I'm fine.' she thought to herself.
"It's just that...well...when I was knighted, I was happy. I was looking forward to my own quarters and living on my own. But now, I realize how hard it is. It's always quiet, and I like keeping good conversation with people. I wouldn't mind it if I had people to talk to on a daily basis, but the Younglings are always in class or sleeping, Master Yoda only visits with me ever few weeks, and all my friends are always out on missions." she told him.
"I can't imagine how you feel, Ahsoka. I've never had a room to myself in all my life as a Jedi. First I was with mast Qui-Gon through my Padawan years, then after I was Knighted, I was with Anakin. True there were days when I'd have the room to myself for a few days but I always had people to talk to. This day and age is different. So few of us remain, and what Jedi that aren't still in training are always out on important missions." Obi-Wan told her as he sat beside her.
"I know, but it's just I don't have anyone to talk to or for that matter keep me company except you and Anakin when he comes to the Temple for Council meetings. We talk of old times and we practice like we did when I was still a adawan, but then everyone leaves and I'm by myself. I feel better with him than when I'm stuck here with nothing to do. I don't think that living in the Temple agrees with me, Master." she replied.
"You'd rather live with those you consider family, but you also don't want to disappoint your former Master." Obi-Wan finished for her, and she nodded.
"I just want to be the Jedi he would want me to be. I'm just not sure I can do it without living with him and his family." she said, looking ashamed and embarrased at the same time.
"Ahsoka, you don't need to live at the Temple to be a Jedi. Anakin has already proven that. He's on the High Council, for Force sake. Changes have been made Ahsoka. If you really don't feel comfortable living here, then you should talk to Anakin about it. If you want, however, I will talk to him for you." Obi-Wan offered.
"Thank you, Master Kenobi, but I should do that myself. I'm just not sure I can bring myself to tell him I want to talk about it."
"I will tell him that for you. All you have to do is explain the situation to him, as hard as it may be. Anakin may be stubborn at times, but he always stives to help those he cares about. And he does care about you, as much as he cares for his own children. He must've told you this," Obi-Wan said as she nodded in confirmation. "since he has, then you should also know he would do just about anything to help you. I'll ask him to come and see you tomorrow evening before he heads back home. You can discuss the matter with him then, and I'll make sure the two of you aren't disturbed for as long as needed."
"Thanks, master Kenobi. That would be a great help." she replied. Feeling better, she took the short walk back to her quarters. Quarters she hoped she wouldn't have to sleep in tomorrow night.
I know what you're all thinking: A sequel to Last of the Sith when its not even done yet, right? Let me stop that question from happening before it is asked. This is NOT a sequel to Last of the Sith. Yes, it takes place 5 months after those events, and YES I know it wasn't announced in the A/N I posted last night on Last of the Sith, but I only decided to do this story AFTER it was posted and was too tired to edit the note, so here's the announcement, lol. This is more a oneshot in-between story describing issues Ahsoka has with Temple life after being Knighted and her former Master and father figure's solution to them. It is not in any way related to the current events within Returned and Last of the Sith, with the exception of it taking place in that timeline. Sounds a little weird, I know, but it's the best explanation I can come up with.
This was a story I felt needed telling, and that I also felt I couldn't just squeeze into one chapter in Last of the Sith without it feeling out of place. I felt this issue needed a small but interesting story of its own, so I have decided to do it this way. It will not be as big a story as Returned or Last of the Sith. Remember, this is a oneshot type of vignette, so it will be a very quick and short but touching story. It will show some of how the bond between Anakin and Ahsoka has grown to it's current state and it will also show how the bond has made them care for each other the way they do now.
To be honest, before The Clone Wars happened, I was going to do a plotline based on Anakin becoming Vader still and killing his son on the 2nd Death Star and go it from there, but watching the Clone Wars movie and TV series changed my mind and I did this one because I felt too connected to the Anakin/Ahsoka pairing and didn't want to let that go so I did this storyline instead. Hell, while im doing this I might as well announce this too. I am going to do the 2dn Death Star battle between Luke and Vader, have Vader kill Luke and see where it goes from there. It will be as I originally intended it as if Ahsoka never existed. I do intend to, of course, continue this storyline and timeline, as it is my first priority. Once this timeline is set and all, I'll work on the other one.
Let me know what you all think, and sorry for the randomly huge A/N, LOL!
