If I die young and Star Wars aren't mine
POV Ahsoka Tano
Today is my birthday and I'm finally seven years old, I go to Kara, my best friend, she gives me a ring that I saw in the shops of Coruscant, the ring is green, has an external incision, is simple with the words' best friends forever' and another inside that says simply 'I love you'. I embrace Kara, I laugh and from my pocket pull out a ring for her is like the ring that she gives to me.
She asks me "Hey you? Should you receive the gifts? "
and I laughingly say "mmm you know what I like change the rules."
We put the rings and we embrace, her gaze turns sad, I feel a slight tremor in the force so I ask
"What's up Kara?"
She looks at me straight in the eyes, I do not like that look, and tells me
"Can you make a promise?"
"But some tell me what it is ..."
"If I die young ..."
I interrupted, "what are you saying Kara-what is this conversation ?"
She took my hand "Ahsoka listen"
"But ..."
"No but, if I died young Ahsoka want to wear a white satin dress, lying in a bed of roses, with my necklace of pearls, my ring, I want to be left in a river at dawn ... maybe one of those Naboo ... and I want to go with the words of a love song ... and I want you to sing the song that you choose-"
The tears fell on her and my face now and then I interrupted, "why do you say this?-my voice cracking from the pain of her death I thought of the cause-why?"
"Ahsoka promise me you will do if it happened what I just asked!"
"I promise you"
We hugged then Plo Koon and Shaak Ti entered the door.

I am at the funeral, everyone is saddened some crying, it was time to let her go ... I have dinner Plo Koon gives me a 'go' I nod. I go near the boat where there was Kara and singing.
I wrote a song titled 'If I die young'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
I sink in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you When She stands under my colors, and oh
Life Is not always what you think it ought to be, no
Is not even gray, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
I sink in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, When I Come Into Your Kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin 'of a man
But it sure felt nice When He was holding my hand, there's a
Boy says he'll here in town, my love forever
Who would have thought forever Could Be Severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I did is never done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell for a dollar Them
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I Been singin '
When Your Dead Funny how people start listenin '
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
I sink in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh oh)
The ballad of a where (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save Them For A Time When Your really gonna need Them, O
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls'
tears begin to fall as she dawn of a new day is taken away from the river and in that exact moment I really understood that Kara was not there she was dead and I would see her again ...
... Or so I thought ...
