Art by Sabine

Sabine was in her room painting. First she painted the words: "Our Family" on the top of the area she was working on. Then she started drawing Ezra. He had his old lightsaber in one hand and it was ignited. The other hand was reaching down. Ezra looked exactly how he did when she first met him. In her mind that was how he would always look.

Next she started working on Chopper. He was drawn so that Ezra had one hand resting on his dome. Chopper looked like his normal grumpy old self. Just like he had always been for as long as Sabine had known him. Hopefully he would never change.

Behind Ezra she drew Kanan. She didn't dear draw the mask on him. That wasn't how see saw him. No, like Ezra he had never changed in her mind. If Ezra's hair was long than Kanan wasn't blind and didn't have that full body beard. Kanan looked exactly like he had for all those years the mando had known him. This was the Kanan she knew and looked up to. The Kanan that was his true self. One hand on Ezra's shoulder the other holding his ignited lightsaber. The lightsabers was pointed parallel to Ezra's. Actually Kanan was standing in the exact same position as Ezra with just a slight adjustment to his left arm so it rested on Ezra's left shoulder. He was proud of his student and it showed. This was the Kanan that Sabine would always think of as the being his true self.

Behind Chopper and to Kanan and Ezra's left. Actually he was slightly behind Kanan as well. Kanan's lightsaber went over his head. Sabine drew Zeb. He had his bow rifle in front of him ready for action. Again this was Zeb in his truest form. Always ready to fight some bucket heads. The bow rifle was pointed down in blaster form and he was ready to defend his family if needed.

Sabine started drawing Hera next on the left leaving a gap between her and the boys. The Mando had a plan for that gap. First she had to draw Hera. Hera was her normal self. She was her best when she was flying. However Sabine wanted to show that this wasn't all Hera was. Unlike the boys she didn't have a single weapon drawn. She was with her family like any mother would be. She looked the way Sabine had always seen her. In her flight suit acting like the mother and leader she was to the rest of the crew. Her left hand resting on Sabine's left shoulder.

That's right. Sabine drew herself in the gap between the boys and Hera. Hera's hand resting on her shoulder just as Kanan's rested on Ezra's. Sabine was kneeling down next to Chopper. One hand behind the droid. Under her left arm was her helmet. Here armor was painted the same way it was before the run in with Vader but her hair was the colors it was after. This was to reflect her ever changing nature.

Be hind everyone she carefully painted her signature star bird.

To the left of everyone else she started drawing something blue. As it developed she released it was Ahsoka. She was a hologram, but she looked like she did in real life, and not like Fulcrum normally showed up. Her lightsaber where clipped to her belt as she faced the crew. She looked like a holoimage of the first time the crew had met her. Sabine realized she had painted the former Jedi like this in memory of her. Next she drew Rex. He was there in person. His helmet off as he looked at Ahsoka's holoimage from behind.

Wolf and Greger were joking around behind him. Sure they weren't in the rebellion but they were still family. Sato ended up in front of the two of them walking in. AP-5 following.

Now Sabine realized something. There were other family members that she had to draw here. Some she had never really met. Ones that were gone that she couldn't leave out. She left the room and came back with Ezra, Kanan's Holocron, and the data chip with Ezra's parents holoimage on it.

"Ezra, I need your help. I'm drawing a family portrait and I want to add some family members that aren't with us anymore." She said.

"Like my parents. I hope you remembered Hera's dad. Who else are you drawing?" Ezra asked.

"I want to draw Kanan and Ahsoka's masters." She said.

"Ok, I get Kanan's, but Ahsoka's? Sabine I told you what happened to him."

"I know, but Ezra can you really say that somewhere deep down inside of him that Jedi is still there."

"I don't know if I could or not. Just don't draw him as Vader ok."

"I wasn't thinking about it like that. I was also thinking about drawing Obi Wan and Yoda. That's why I need you to open the Holocron for me so I have something to go off of."

"Ok, but I need complete silence to concentrate." Ezra said as he sat down cross legged in the middle of Sabine's cabin. He found Anakin first because he already knew where to look for him.

Sabine went straight to work drawing the blonde Jedi next to Ahsoka in a blue holoimage. He was looking at her like Kanan was looking at Ezra.

Next Ezra found a picture of Master Yoda. Sabine drew him in front of Ahsoka watching the crew along with her. He was a little more green than blue. It wasn't long after that that he found the recording of Obi Wan he found the first time he opened the Jedi Holocron. As the it played Sabine added the image to her painting. Holocron and all. Between Ahsoka and the crew. Everyone was looking turned to it.

While the message played Kanan joined in. Ezra and Sabine explained what they where doing. Kanan quickly joined in.

"I never thought to look for my master on this. I always wished you could have met her." Kanan said to Ezra.

While the two Jedi searched for a imagine of Depa Billaba on the Holocron, Sabine put Ezra's data disk in her helmet and started drawing his parents in blue behind Kanan on the right. Once the two Jedi found Depa her portrait went right beside it.

That's when Hera walked in looking for Kanan and Ezra. She took one look at the painting.

"I think you're missing a few people." The Twi'lik said.

"Like whom?" Sabine asked.

"You're family and my Dad for starters." Hera replied.

"I'll add on to it, but yeah I agree on your dad. Ezra said the same thing." The girl said. She added Cham behind AP-5.

Zeb and Chopper came into see it as soon as they heard about it. Word spread around the bases and soon everyone on base came to see it.

Somehow they all knew this painting was far from finished. It wasn't, more people were added to it over time. No one ever changed in it, yet the painting never stopped changing as the family grew.

•Ok, I have thought about several places this story could fit in to but I think it works best on it's own. I was going to put it in either Living with Jedi, Part of the Family, or Talents of the Ghost. I decided to make it it's own story because I plan on adding on to it. Notice Ketsu isn't added yet. She'll be added soon along with Leia, Bail, and a few other people. Most of the people that are alive and in the painting will eventually see it. Questions: should Obi Wan see it or not? If so when does he see it & how?

• May the force be with you always.
