Even before they landed, Ahsoka knew that she was in for the biggest dressing down of her life. Anakin expertly navigated landing in the Resolute's hanger bay with his ship, and they disembarked.

Ahsoka was hoping to slip away, but Anakin caught her.

"Ahsoka that was completely foolish of you."

"Master, I was just trying to help. I didn't have time to think it through."

"You completely disobeyed my orders!" Anakin shouted, drawing the unwanted attention of a few clones. Captain Rex, who put them all back to work with some sharply-barked orders, came towards the Jedi, wondering if he should interrupt.

"What is it Rex?"

"It can wait sir, I'll be on the bridge." He said, saluting before he turned to leave.

"See that Snips," Anakin said the nickname like it was a curse, "that's respect. He follows orders."

"Master, I didn't have time to follow orders, it was the window or death." Ahsoka argued.

If Ahsoka had had time to think about it, their might have been an alternative to shoving Dahon, the heir to the throne of the Induparan Crown Worlds, out the window to avoid some droidekas.

Anakin's orders had been not to leave the 'safe house' and to stay with Dahon. She followed the second part to the letter, not even allowing the monarch to rest for a moment as they made their way back up the plateau to where her mentor and Dahon's parents had been waiting.

Anakin had greeted Ahsoka coldly, but Dahon was quick to praise Ahsoka's bravery. They had been thanked and had left, since the new guards that were taking over Dahon's safeguarding had arrived.

They had returned to the Resolute and now Ahsoka wondered how long Anakin would yell at her for something that was clearly not her fault.

"Ahsoka, would you listen to yourself? You're trying to excuse your disobedience and you almost got Dahon killed!" Anakin said.

"But I didn't. Everything ended just fine." Ahsoka said. "Master Yoda tells us not to dwell on the mistakes of the past."

"Don't quote Master Yoda to me, my young Padawan, you deliberately disobeyed me."

"No, not deliberately, I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand!"

"Just go to your quarters!" Anakin bellowed.

I was supposed to be Obi-Wan's Padawan. That was the first thought that came to mind as she stormed away. When she had first arrived on Christophsis, Obi-Wan had been the one expecting her, never mind what Yoda had said.

And maybe this one time, Master Yoda didn't know best.

Anakin had never trained a Padawan, he didn't want a Padawan. Obi-Wan had trained Anakin. Surely he could put up with her better than her current master.

She reached her quarters, or at least the ones she used while onboard the Resolute, and walked inside. Sitting on the bed with a sigh, she groped for the lightsaber she had assumed was still clipped to her belt.

Then she remembered she had set it on some crates in the hanger bay while she'd argued with Anakin.

As if I don't have enough problems.

She decided she would fetch it later. She didn't feel like running into Anakin right now. He was probably still in the hanger bay, doing his usual check on his ship before he returned to his quarters or went to the bridge. He checked every inch of the ship. He loved flying, and was always careful to keep his ship in perfect working order.

She laid down on her sides and bent her knees up on the bed. Part of her thought she should meditate to calm down, but another part of her wanted to just lay down and do nothing. The quarters were plain, the only usual contents was her Lightsaber and an extra change of cloths. Suddenly, there was a whistle and beep outside and Ahsoka got up to open the door. She wasn't surprise when she saw R2-D2.

"Hey R2." She said, going back to sit on her bed. R2 rolled in and the door shut automatically behind him.

He came next to her and projected a message. It was from Anakin.

"Clean R2 for me Ahsoka."

That was it. No apology, no please or thank you, no smile. Nothing to show he was even close to trying to reconcile the argument. Well, she certainly wasn't going to be the one to start it. After all, it had been her mentor who had responded way too sensitively to everything.

Instead, Ahsoka tried to busy herself with cleaning R2. The droid had carried the tool's Ahsoka needed with him, so all she had to do was brush, wipe, shine, and check for anything that was wrong. He was not particularly dirty because Anakin always kept his droid in perfect working order, just like his ship. It was unusual for the Jedi Council to allow Jedi to keep droids for personal use, but R2 had come in handy more than once. Ahsoka loved him. He was almost like a pet, except he was really intelligent and could spit oil at you if you made him mad.

R2 chirped and whistled. Ahsoka got his meaning and frowned.

"No R2, I'm not going to apologize to Anakin."

Whistle, blurp, whistle.

"Because he should listen to me once in awhile. I know Padawans should obey their masters, but masters should respect their Padawan's too." Ahsoka retorted.

Low whistle, two beeps and a shrill whistle.

"He certainly doesn't show that cares." Ahsoka replied. They lapsed into silence and somehow Ahsoka got the feeling she had made R2 upset. True, he didn't have feelings, but he had a great deal of personality, and was really caring.

"Look, Anakin and I… we just don't get along. We're both too headstrong." Ahsoka said.

A trill and whistle asked her if she would try.

"Haven't I been trying?" She asked, leaning back and folding her arms. "Besides, why aren't you giving this talk to Anakin? He deserves it just as much as I do."

Two shrill beeps and a low whistle.

"Yeah, I know he's mad." Ahsoka said.

A low whistle.

"Anakin? Sad? I doubt it. Unless he's sad about having a Padawan." Ahsoka said.

Beep, Blurp, beep, low whistle.

"The mission went fine, we just disagreed over how to do it. As usual." Ahsoka said. "Hey R2, while you're here, do you think you can check the ships logs and tell me what we're doing next?"

A high trill.

"Thanks buddy." Ahsoka said, finishing the job.

Three low beeps, a shrill whistle, a blurb, a trill, and another shrill whistle.

"Obi-Wan? Why are we rendezvousing with Obi-Wan?" Ahsoka asked.

R2 couldn't answer, so Ahsoka had to bury her curiousity for the time being. Besides, if Anakin wanted her to know, he would have told her. As it was, he was probably trying to keep her away.

Which was just fine, as far as she was concerned.
