Hello there! If you've read the summary, you probably know what this story is about. Time loops! Just so you can have a general idea, let's explain the basics:

Time loops are a phenomenon that happens because the computer running the multiverse, Yggdrasil, crashed. To preserve the universes the administrators set everything on a time loop. Meaning a sort of Groundhog Day situation except... much longer. It depends on the loop. There is always one person looping, the Anchor. The Anchor (in this case Ezra) starts looping first and then people start looping depending on their connection to the Anchor.

The Adventures of a Time Travelling Padawan Chapter 1

1.1 (Rae the demiBoss)

Ezra blinked.

"Dangit, not again!" He groaned. "That's it, this is the fourth time I've restarted my life! I'm gonna go crazy if I don't do something different."

He ended up walking to town with a few (possibly illegal) objects and selling them (on the black market) for an obscene amount of money. That done, he got started on equipping his tower with computers.

A few months of online courses and he'd be ready for whatever would come his way.

"I'm very honoured to have you come by," Ezra forced a fake smile as he showed the Empire's representatives his 'public' base.

Somehow he ended up starting an online business, which got the attention of a lot of people… Most notably the Empire. It had taken a year or two for the business to really get on the intergalactic market but once it did his advanced security systems and firewalls were all the rage.

The classes he'd taken covered a lot of things, but he'd taken pretty well to computer programming.

As in, scary well.

In no time he was designing complex computer programs and giving people advice on how to keep their personal systems safe and protected. A few big time business owners had offered to buy his 'products' but they'd never understood that he did everything for fun. It was only when one of them tried to steal his ideas that he realized it wasn't a good thing to be well known.

So he'd found someone willing to market his stuff but still keep his personal life private, making it so that he didn't have to sell everything he made like the others had wanted. At the same time he took all the profits because it was a private business.

Blue Time Corporations was a very profitable company.

Meaning that he had everything he wanted and a lot of things he didn't.

Such as the Empire trying to buy out his company.

Now with how ginormous and influential BT Corps was there was no way they could succeed in forcing him into anything. But at the same time he was very well known as having a neutral stance when it came to the Empire.

Being so important in up and coming technology because of his programs, Ezra's manager had suggested very convincingly that he needed to stay on the good side of the Empire. At the same time they both agreed on not supporting the Empire either (Ezra had made sure his manager was pro-rebellion) because, well, it was the Empire.

So Ezra had to play nice and NOT follow his every ingrained instinct to toss the Empire representatives out of his house and set his security systems to 'vaporize'.

"The honour is ours, Mr. Bridger." The man in the lead practically purred. "We are glad you've allowed us to view your systems working at their finest."

Ezra resisted a roll of the eyes. After the first lifetime he'd gotten really good at acting and every ounce of skill was going into this 'visit'. He proceeded to show them around and demonstrate some of his security systems, not directly noticing when one of the women left the group to wander around herself but instead feeling it with the Force.

He decided to just let her do whatever. Things were getting boring anyways; Ezra never thought he'd miss being shot at while on the run from stormtroopers.

A few hours later he dodged a laser and bolted away from the group at a dead sprint.

It figures the Empire was trying to blow him up and make it look like an accident. Seriously though, he was the expert on security systems. And not just firewalls either. Did they really think he wouldn't notice the woman trying to plant a bomb?

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small tablet, using it to section off parts of the building so they couldn't escape. Again, programming genius, his bases had some really fun surprises hidden everywhere.

He was about to walk into his main security room but stopped in the doorway. He raised an eyebrow as the people in the room froze.

"So, I'm guessing you're here because of the bomb too?" He said dryly as they stared at him in shock.

"Um, look, I think there's some sort of misunderstanding here-"

"Oh no worries," Ezra walked into the room and waved them off as he went straight to a computer. "I know who you guys are and I know you didn't put the bomb there."

'Is there some sort of cosmic plan that I meet up with these guys?' He thought to himself as the rebels stared some more.

"You do?" Zeb asked and scowled when Sabine hit his arm.

"Mmhmm," He hummed as he clicked rapidly on the keyboard. "Rebels, against the Empire, probably heard 'bout the Empire's plan to blow me up, really wish I'd heard something about that earlier by the way. You know you guys are actually kind of famous. Though the symbol is a dead giveaway."

"Step away from the computer." He stiffened when he felt a blaster at his back.

"Well at least you guys aren't idiots like they were." He shrugged and pointed to the screen where the representatives were milling around angrily in a small room. He turned around to see Zeb's rifle pointed at him. "Look, I'm not going to turn you guys in or anything okay? My company might be neutral but I hate the Empire."

"Wait, you're Ezra Bridger?" Hera asked with wide eyes. "You're just a kid!"

He shrugged again, ignoring the blaster poking his chest. "A kid who really really likes programming. I don't really care about the company or anything that comes with it, I just ended up really well known and had to protect my stuff after a few people tried to take it from me." Hera gave Zeb a look and smacked the rifle down.

"Can we get back on topic please?" Kanan said slightly irritated. "Look, you're in danger from the Empire. Since you don't support them they're going to target you. Things like this? Bombs? Bombs are going to be the least of your worries if you stay neutral. The Empire doesn't like the people it wants on different sides."

"I can take care of myself. Plus, I know you just want me away from the Empire so that they don't force me to make things for them." He gave a defiant glare at them all, trying really hard to not succumb to instinct and poke at Kanan through the Force bond. He'd learned that no matter how many times he went through the resets he always kept the bond with his master, even if the other didn't know it.

"That's not the point." Hera interjected with a sideways look at Kanan. "The point is, you're not safe, here or anywhere else the Empire knows about. We can help you to a place that is safe; we do things like this all the time."

Ezra nearly smiled at the motherly twilek, he'd missed that in the past couple of years since his last restart.

"I'll go with you…" He trailed off, looking thoughtful and more than a little mischievous. "…If you let me be part of your team."

"No way!" Zeb growled automatically. "We can't have some spoiled brat running around getting in the way-"

"What he means is, it's very dangerous and not the place for someone who's inexperienced." Hera cut the lasat off.

"I'm not inexperienced, trust me on that." He snickered slightly. 'Oh if only they knew…' "Plus, you guys could use someone as good with computers and security as I am. Not to mention the Empire has bought a few of my products and nobody knows them as much as I do."

"Uh huh, and what exactly can you do? I bet you don't even know how to use a blaster," Sabine snorted from underneath her helmet.

"So you think." He crossed his arms. "Either way, if you leave me here I can hide myself perfectly well and you guys would still be paranoid the Empire could get me. If you take me with you I get to stick it to the Empire, you guys get an expert hacker, and you don't have to worry about the Empire getting their slimy hands on me."

Ezra waited confidently as they looked at each other, their eyes eventually settling on Kanan to make the decision. He had them right where he wanted them.

Kanan frowned in thought, thinking carefully. Ezra knew that even if he personally didn't want him along, he didn't have much of a choice. And wouldn't regret it later, much less after he revealed his talent in the Force. Which he would be doing. He did NOT like having to pretend the bond didn't exist after having it for several lifetimes.

"I don't like it, but you don't exactly leave us much choice." Kanan shook his head as Zeb gaped.

"Kanan, you can't be serious! He's a freaking kid!"

"He's a kid who was smart enough to manoeuvre us into a corner." Sabine noted with a bit of respect in her voice.

"Thanks." Ezra grinned as he turned back around to the computer. "Just give me a bit to grab my bag and we can leave. Those guys aren't leaving that room anytime soon." He pointed to the screen where they were still stuck in a room as he tapped wildly at the controls. With a final, decisive click a small panel opened and flipped out a small stick. Ezra grabbed the USB and unplugged it, erasing most of the systems functions as he went.

"Did you just sabotage your company's entire mainframe from the inside out in a manner of seconds?" Sabine asked, slightly awed.

"Yep." He popped the p and flipped a hidden switch on the wall. A compartment opened and he pulled a backpack out, slipping it on along with his heavily upgraded energy slingshot. No way would he ever stop using it, though the dang thing was near useless until he'd put some actual electrical power behind it. "I'm ready." He turned to them and raised an eyebrow at their surprise. "I've been waiting for something like this to happen for years." He nodded.

Seems like he was off to be a rebel. Again.

'It'll be fun seeing if anything changes this go around.'

1.2 (Rae the demiBoss)

Ezra yawned as he walked into the kitchen, still tired. This loop was driving him up the wall but he was not going to miss a meal, dangit!

It seemed every one of the crew members were picture perfect representatives of a sitcom, being over dramatic at best and just plain idiotic at worst. Ezra swore if anything even near a musical or dance number started happening he was jumping ship and using his company's funds to live luxuriously on planet Tatooine. It was supposedly nice when you were looking to get away.

He rubbed his eyes and blinked when he saw Kanan and Hera arguing very loudly over what they would be eating for breakfast.

He turned around to leave the room at the same he rolled his eyes. A very bad sitcom.

A few seconds later he turned back around and yanked a box of frozen waffles out of the freezer before stalking back out, the two arguing people not even noticing him.

Another weird thing was that they had some really out of place foods onboard for a ship, but Ezra wasn't complaining on that.

Now where did he leave that torch? He'd have to heat the dang things up to eat them and shooting at them with his slingshot was very likely not going to work very well… Plus the last thing he wanted was to let them melt and get soggy, soggy waffles tasted horrible…

1.3 (Rae the demiBoss)

"I can see clearly now the rain is gone!" Ezra sang loudly as he stepped over a puddle in the street, ignoring the stares he was getting. "I can see all obstacles, in my way!"

The others just facepalmed and remembered how weird their youngest crew member was.

The Adventures of a Time Travelling Padawan Chapter 2

2.1 (Rae the demiBoss)

Ezra couldn't stop the sigh.

Without missing a beat he turned straight around and refused to scream. Because Dangit, this particular one had happened in at least half of his repeated lives! He was used to this by now!

"Chopper, not gonna happen."

The droid whistled disappointedly and flicked off the hologram.

"Listen, I know you like your pranks and all but you could try some new ones out," Ezra suggested carefully.

Chopper whirled angrily and waved his arms around.

"Whoops." Ezra facepalmed. "Riiight, I only just met you guys by now… Okay, so, don't blame me if I explain this wrong, I only heard this once from that time the dragon looped in…"

The next loop, Ezra gleefully reached into his pathetically tiny pocket dimension (every looper learned to make one at some point) and pulled out a USB.

"Yes! It worked!" He grinned as he plugged it into a computer he'd stolen and codes popped up. "Chopper is now a looper! Kind of… okay it's more or less a technicality, but still! Someone else in my loop is Awake!" He fistpumped and then realized something. "Dangit, I haven't met them this loop yet… Aw man! I can't upload his memories to his frame yet!" He pouted and sulked.

The computer warbled in a familiar tone.

"Oh shut up Chopper, it won't take long for me to be able to upload you to your frame anyways. I always Awake only a few days before I meet you guys."

2.2 (Rae the demiBoss)

Ezra watched with an evil smirk as the Inquisitor stalked the hallways of the ship.

So he thought he could mess with Ezra's mind in his dreams huh? Well Ezra was about to show him why you don't mess with the Anchor of your loop! Even if you aren't looping!

Ezra let a snicker out and the Inquisitor whirled angrily.

"Where are you boy?" He hissed angrily. "I don't appreciate having to play hide and seek with my prey."

"The better question would be…" Ezra trailed off as he let the mindscape shift into something else. "Where are you?"

The Inquisitor froze in shock. The boy was simply a Padawan, he shouldn't be able to tell this was a mindscape, much less be able to change it!

He then twitched when he found everywhere to be pink. And covered in ribbons. And confetti. And balloons, lots and lots of balloons.

"You see, I met this really weird creature a little while back. She really liked parties." Ezra shrugged. "Oh, that and she gave me permission to use her as a mental defense."

"Hi!"

Ezra woke up and immediately started giggling, not caring if it was undignified or not. No bad guy could stand up to the insanity that was Pinkie Pie!

"Uh, kid? You okay?" Zeb stood up to look at the top bunk with a worried expression.

Ezra just giggled harder.

2.3 (Rae the demiBoss)

Kanan sighed and rubbed his forehead. This kid was getting on his nerves big time.

They'd stopped at Lothal to get some supplies and had run into a mute kid stealing from the Empire. They couldn't just leave him, especially once they learned he didn't have parents.

But he was incredibly annoying even without the ability to talk.

He made these weird signs and got aggravated at them when they couldn't understand him. When they tried giving him a name because he couldn't tell them his he repeatedly made raspberry noises until they gave up. When they left him alone for more than a few minutes he set up pranks everywhere, Chopper was the only one who really enjoyed that since the droid rarely fell victim to said pranks.

He was a good kid, just... incredibly hard to deal with.

And now Kanan had walked in on the kid levitating a bowl and various cups around the kitchen, Chopper cheering him on with whistles and beeps.

Inwardly Ezra cackled hysterically at the dumbstruck look on Kanan's face when he saw him using the Force so easily. He waved at him with an innocent, eager smile and pointed excitedly at the objects floating everywhere. He wasn't really mute; it was just a hilarious prank that he'd started and couldn't seem to stop.

"Um…" Kanan couldn't seem to form the words needed. This loop Ezra hadn't 'discovered' the lightsaber, so he didn't 'know' about Kanan being a Jedi. It had also been ridiculously easy to upload Chopper's loop memories and fill him in on the prank.

The droid had far too much fun corrupting Ezra the past few loops.

"Dangit, no! That's not what you're supposed to do! Chopper!" Kanan yelped loudly as he ducked a fruit.

Ezra doubled over in silent hysterics and then ducked another fruit. He gave Chopper a mock glare, but then couldn't help the silent snickers as Kanan had to duck the next one. He gave the laughing Zeb a thumbs up as he continued supplying Chopper with ammo.

Ezra smiled at his team minutes before the loop ended. He sighed sadly, Chopper whistling slowly at him in agreement.

The droid wheeled over for Ezra to copy his memories for the next loop, the other members of the team watching the two in confusion.

"What are you doing?" Sabine asked, Ezra closing his eyes trying to remember that feeling of belonging.

He grinned sadly at them.

"By the way, my name's Ezra." He said seconds before the loop ended.

He Awoke and leaned against the wall of his room in his tower, gasping as he laughed sadly. Their faces had made the trouble of pretending to be mute for a whole loop entirely worth it.

The smile slowly fell as he remembered them. But then it rose again when he thought about what he could pull on them this time around.

2.4 (Rae the demiBoss)

Ezra gaped in shock when he Awoke.

"Karrabast." He moaned, trying to pretend his voice wasn't several octaves higher. "I've heard about these loops…" 'Erza' sat down on the edge of her tower and pouted in the face of a beautiful sunset. "At least I get to see what female lasat look like, I've been wondering about that…"

2.5 (Rae the demiBoss)

Ezra was sitting in his tower at a computer, having a vacation loop as the mysterious unknown owner of Blue Time Corporations, a revolutionary company that made high tech programs and only sold to certain people.

The Empire was definitely not on that list of people.

At this point in the loops he was more than capable of creating his company out of nothing and then running it all by himself in secret. Nobody knew who he was. Nobody.

But that wasn't what was important at the moment. What was important was the fact that Kanan had just poked him through the master padawan bond.

This meant that #1 the never before had happened and Kanan had discovered he had the bond with someone he didn't know or #2 Kanan was looping.

Ezra cautiously poked him back, feeling confusion and a twinge of terror in his master. When he responded with a surge of comfort Kanan filled with relief.

'E-Ezra?' His eyes widened. Kanan had never stuttered before. He realized why when he felt the desperation from the bond.

'Don't worry Kanan, I can explain everything. I'm guessing you're on Lothal if I can feel the bond this clearly?'

Ezra shook his head with a snicker as Kanan practically started babbling. He felt a little guilty for laughing at him though, he was just as terrified his first few loops.

A few hours later Kanan had snuck off to his tower and listened in awe as Ezra told him about the loops.

"So, time is broken."

"Pretty much."

"And you're a… 'stabilizer' so that our… 'loop' doesn't crash?"

"Yeeep."

Kanan rubbed his forehead. "I… I'm not sure I can handle this…"

"You get used to it." Ezra shrugged. "Oh hey, you know BT Corps? That belongs to me, by the way. I've had various versions of the thing made over the loops."

"I don't think I'm ever going to get used to something like this…" Kanan groaned.

"Did you really have to tell them you were a full Jedi?" Kanan hissed to Ezra later.

"Hey, I'm older than you by like, fifty times over by now." Ezra defended himself. "I've been your Padawan for hundreds of lifetimes, there's not really anything left for me to learn!"

Kanan blinked. "I… didn't think about that. It's just-"

"You remember me as your Padawan." Ezra smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not all that different. I'm just… possibly a little insane from having to repeat time over and over."

Kanan facepalmed.

"Wait, you're telling me Chopper was looping before me?!"

"It's a technicality, he's not actually looping I'm just carrying his knowledge over each time, but yes. He was looping before you."

"Oh come on!"

The Inquisitor grinned maliciously but then froze when a pie smacked him in the face.

"Out of my mindscape!" Ezra yelled rather absentmindedly. He was too busy concentrating on the fact that Kanan was in his mindscape too.

"You will regret such a move, boy!" The Pau'an hissed murderously but then was hit by a party cannon as Ezra's Pinkie Protection activated.

"What the heck?" Kanan stared as a pink… something (pony?!) popped into existence and started terrorizing the Pau'an.

"Oh right, your first loop… she's a mental representation of a looper from a different loop." Ezra snickered as cake popped into existence. "The Inquisitor tries doing something with my mind at least once every three loops, I finally just did this so that I could have some fun with it." He waved at the now different mindscape as the Inquisitor tried frantically to withdraw from Ezra's mind.

The next morning the rest of the crew was worried for their Jedi members because they couldn't seem to stop laughing hysterically every time they saw the color pink.

Kanan knew that the loops had changed his padawan. He knew that even though he looked exactly the same there were just some things that were completely different about Ezra.

Sometimes it was more evident, such as when he used credits earned from his company to pay for things that they needed despite Hera's objections. Or when he actually used his computer skills to hack into Empire databases or security systems.

He rarely made mistakes and even then Kanan knew they were mistakes that he had made in 'baseline' and that without those mistakes certain important things would not happen.

But sometimes he acted like the same Ezra that Kanan taught in that first loop, so long ago for the kid but such a short amount of time for him. Sometimes Ezra would pull simple little pranks on Zeb or Chopper that reminded Kanan that the loops hadn't changed his padawan very much when it came down to the basics.

A lot of the time Kanan couldn't help but wish the loops didn't exist, because there weren't supposed to be do-overs in life. It just wasn't natural for things to happen over and over again.

But then Kanan saw the things Ezra had done with his knowledge of the future. He saw the catastrophes that Ezra averted and the miracles he was able to help along.

It was moments like those that Kanan felt like their roles were reversed and Ezra had become the master, Kanan the naïve padawan following along in confusion. Then again, when it came to the loops that really was what it came down to.

Ezra knew so much more than he did. Ezra knew strange little pieces of information here and there that Kanan couldn't ever understand how he would remember, there were so many things.

"Hey Kanan?" He was brought out of his retrospection by Ezra appearing in the doorway of his room. "Think we could spar?" He tapped the lightsaber hanging on his hip (the lightsaber Kanan didn't even want to know how he'd gotten).

"Sure Ezra." He smiled.

No matter his feelings on the loops, he wouldn't trade this for anything.

The Adventures of a Time Travelling Padawan Chapter 3

3.1 (Rae the demiBoss)

"Oh my God." Kanan gaped at the wings on his back.

"While we're here you might want to learn to say 'oh my Celestia'." Ezra snickered as he flexed his own wings easily.

"I'm a horse. No, we're horses." Kanan couldn't think straight. This WAS. NOT. RIGHT.

"Ponies." Ezra corrected. "To be more precise, alicorns since for some reason that's what Jedi compare to."

Kanan continued to gape. "I don't… I… Please tell me I'm dreaming this. Please make this a really weird and freaky DREAM."

"Sorry, nope. Crossover loop. It happens a lot." Ezra laid a comforting wing on his shoulder. "I'm not being very helpful about this, sorry… Just breathe master."

"I'm a freaking pony…" Kanan whimpered in shock.

"Well this is going to be a very eye-opening loop…" Ezra sighed.

3.2 (Rae the demiBoss)

'Kanan I need someone here to help me right now who knows that I'm not insane.'

Kanan blinked as Ezra talked to him through the bond. It was rather strange since it was a lot earlier than Ezra usually Awoke, but he grew worried when he felt the fear and terror from his padawan (screw the loops, Ezra would always be his padawan even if he'd surpassed him in skill a long time ago) leaking across the bond despite him trying to keep it hidden.

'I'm on my way, it'll take me a while to sneak away from Hera though.' They were currently searching for supplies.

'I don't care. Tell her you feel some sort of 'disturbance in the Force' or something. I need help now.' Kanan was scared now, Ezra was full on panicking right now and he needed to get to him ASAP.

He stiffened, Hera noticing, as images slipped past the strong mental control Ezra had developed from a violent flashback on the other's part.

"Kanan? Are you okay?" She asked worriedly as he took a deep breath to keep control of himself.

"I… feel something, someone through the Force…" He winced as the images began filling with blood.

"Are they hurt or something?" Hera was all business now.

"Maybe, I don't know. I need to go now." He rushed off through the crowds, not caring if Hera was offended or not. His padawan was hurting and he needed to get to him.

It took far too long for him to get to Ezra's tower and climb his way up and inside.

"Ezra?!" He found every light in the tower on as blindingly bright as they'd go, otherwise everything perfectly normal. "Ezra!" He followed the terror pulsing through the bond and found him curled up in a closet and shaking in horror, eyes glazed in the midst of a flashback. "Ezra, come on snap out of it!"

He didn't try touching him, knowing from the images being flung through the bond that it would only send him into a panic. Instead he pulsed comfort and safety through the bond, trying to pull him out of his mind. It took several minutes before the surges of emotion drew Ezra out of it enough that he could look up (albeit dazedly) at him.

"K-Kanan?" He whispered as he trembled violently.

"Don't worry Ezra, I'm here, it was just a memory. That's all over now." Kanan said soothingly, still pulsing positive emotions through the bond. "Whatever happened you're okay, you're safe now and you're not alone. I'm here for you." Kanan managed to lay an arm on his shoulder, slowly pulling him out of the closet. Once Ezra had regained enough sense he followed shakily until they were both sitting on a couch.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I couldn't handle it, I-I j-just…" Ezra sniffed, still trembling violently.

"It's okay Ezra, I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you." Kanan was surprised when Ezra hugged him tightly with a sob.

"B-but you weren't, y-you couldn't be…." He cried as Kanan's eyes widened.

"Shh, I'm here now okay? I'm here now and I swear I'm not going anywhere…" He'd heard from Ezra before about loops where he wasn't Awake. He'd already hated not being able to be there for his padawan, but situations like this made it even worse.

All he could do was hold him and help him pull himself back together.

3.3 (Rae the demiBoss)

"Morning dad," Ezra said on reflex, taking note of the nearly imperceptible eye twitch. "You look kind of loopy today."

"Yeah, must have Awoke on the wrong side of the bed or something." Kanan said in response, sitting down to the breakfast table.

"You're talking all weird, dad, are you okay?" Sabine asked curiously from the stovetop.

They were living in an old farmhouse on what seemed to be a technologically stunted planet, with their widowed 'dad', a 'maid' that he'd hired years ago to help take care of them who'd become part of the family, and a 'hired hand' to help them with their farm work. Needless to say Ezra found it fascinating to see what Hera and Zeb looked like as humans.

"I'm fine, Sabine." Kanan's eye nearly twitched again and Ezra mentally cackled at the fact that he got to call him dad finally.

"So, dad," Ezra knew from the slight glare he was sent that Kanan knew he was teasing him. "What's on the chore list for today?"

The next loop…

"Sooo…" Ezra snickered at the full on eye spasm.

"NO."

"Oh come on, dad," Ezra cackled at the expression on his face.

"NO Ezra. N. O. NO!"

3.4 (Rae the demiBoss)

"Hey Kanan, where's Ezra?" Zeb asked as he played against Chopper in holochess.

"No idea." He paused when he realized what that meant.

"Exactly." Zeb groaned. "I don't want to know what he's up to this time…"

Chopper beeped and whistled. 'And he left me out of it?'

Kanan facepalmed.

"This is your fault." Sabine muttered to Ezra as the stormtroopers searched the alley. "How'd we even get here anyways?"

"I have no clue." Ezra lied. "But you have to admit, the looks on their faces was priceless."

"…" Sabine gave in to the urge to snicker at the memory. "Yeah, you're right… But I still blame you for getting us into this mess."

Ezra shrugged. "Hey, think you could get us up on the roof?"

"Maybe, but we'd be seen going up."

"Not if we use this." Ezra pulled out an egg.

"What do you-" Sabine's helmet automatically scanned the egg and informed her of the chemical mixture inside of it. "Oooooh, oh that's awesome. Very awesome. You're showing me how you made this."

"These," Ezra corrected and showed her two more.

She grinned underneath the helmet. "Go for it, I've got a flashbang grenade for added effect." She pulled out a small rounded object.

He grinned too.

Seconds later loud bangs and flashes of light filled the alley, thick clouds of a purplish smoke obscuring all sight. The two figures escaping by rooftop were never even noticed.

Hours later everyone on board the Ghost was morbidly curious over where their resident (organic) prankster had disappeared to. Hera had noticed Sabine was missing too, so went to her room to check on her.

"You have to be really careful, don't want to crack it." Ezra was sitting at her mixing table leaned over next to an egg sitting in a stand. Sabine was leaned over next to him doing what looked like pouring something into it. They were both wearing shirts covered in soot, thick gloves also covered in soot, and protective goggles worryingly covered in soot as well.

"Do you think we could work some colors into it? Maybe make it so that the smoke stains things?" Sabine paused in her pouring and looked inside the tiny hole, pouring a little more.

"That's a great idea! We could make a few extra batches of the powder and see if it reacts to paint first, then try powdered paint…"

Hera turned around, not wanting to know what was going on. Plausible deniability.

Ezra pulled an egg out of his subspace pocket with a grin. It had been several loops and he hadn't had a chance to use the smokebombs he had Sabine had made since.

But now was his chance!

With a cackle he threw it down and watched in amusement as the stormtroopers below the roof he was on became engulfed in thick pink smoke. It took a few minutes to fade away, but once it did he fell backwards in laughter as their armor was stained a hot pink.

Next to him Sabine gaped in shock.

"Where did you get that?!" She whirled to him as he cackled madly.

"I, uh, I made it." He snickered.

"No, we made it! You remember everything too!" She accused as she pointed a finger at him.

"Woah woah woah, you're looping?" He stopped laughing.

"Looping..?" She gave him a strange look.

"That's the actual name for everything repeating the way it has been…"

"Yeah," She slumped in relief. "You mean I'm not going crazy?"

"Oh no, you probably will go crazy at some point, but you're not yet." Ezra grinned. "How many times do you remember?"

"Only the original time and the one before now where we made those," She admitted, pointing to below.

"Oh, well, for me it's been a few since but that's not important. How did you hide it?" He asked curiously.

"I'm not sure, the last time was so… weird, I mean, you acting so… crazy. It just made everything so surreal I thought it was a dream. But now I guess it's not." She shrugged with a frown.

"Um, what just happened?" Hera asked Kanan quietly in confusion. He chuckled.

"It's a loooong story Hera…" He shook his head. "But I am glad there's another looper…"

"What?" Zeb blinked. "You're not making any sense, what are we missing here?"

Kanan sighed. "Great, my first multiverse talk and you guys aren't even Awake…"

It was awkward at first because both Zeb and Hera weren't looping, but once Chopper was able to verify that no Ezra, Kanan, and Sabine weren't suffering from mass hysteria the two nonloopers had to deal with some very strange things.

For one, Ezra refused to pretend the whole thing had never happened like they had asked. For another it was really strange seeing Kanan acting up just as much as his padawan had previously, with Ezra acting up even more.

Luckily for them Sabine was just as confused most of the time.

3.5 (Rae the demiBoss)

"You're kidding." Sabine was in Ezra's room pacing back and forth. "I'm not sure whether to laugh or scream in frustration."

"Yeah, I know the feeling." Ezra nodded. "I've never literally replaced Kanan before, which brings up the idea of whether we just switched roles with Kanan and Hera or there are going to be new people entirely." Ezra even looked like Kanan did, with the same hair and everything. The only thing was that it was still him, just in Kanan's style.

Sabine was actually a twilek like Hera, again dressed in the same outfit as her. "Oh gosh I hope not, I don't want to know what will happen with Zeb…"

"Only one way to find out, you know how Kanan and Hera first met him." Ezra shrugged. "We're literally in the right time to see."

"Are you serious?" She stared at him.

"Yep."

"Ugh, at least you already uploaded Chopper's memories…"

Sabine tried so very very hard to not facepalm when she saw Hera as a human in her own armor, but lost the battle.

Ezra full on burst into laughter when he saw a teenage Kanan dressed like him.

"Oh go ahead laugh it up." Kanan scowled at him.

"What's going on?" Zeb whispered to Hera.

"I have no idea, but remember something similar happened when I joined?" She whispered back.

Sabine just shook her head at Ezra's antics as he kept laughing at Kanan.

"I hate you." Kanan growled as soon as he saw Ezra the next loop.

"Oh come on, you made a great me!" Ezra cackled.

1.1: Ezra was bored. Bored loopers do one of three things: learn something new for once, blow something up, or prank someone.

1.2: I figure growing up on the streets would make him unhappy to miss a meal once he started getting them regularly... Plus, variant loops. They're usually kind of strange.

1.3: AKA: The pranking someone stage. Really, he's just gotten bored again. I'd imagine he's spent the entire loop song-quoting.

2.1: Pocket dimensions are pretty much a way for loopers to carry things between loops.

2.2: This gets annoying after so many times. You can't blame him for having a little fun with it. This was also spawned by how many fanfictions there are of this.

2.3: Ah, pranking nonloopers. He could try pretending to be blind and use the Force to 'see' things around him. Who knows, that might actually be possible.

2.4: The evils of genderbender loops. XD

2.5: At this point Ezra's stuck between thanking god he's not all alone anymore and hysterically laughing at the fact his and Kanan's roles are reversed.

3.1: I had to. I'm sorry for any nonbronies out there but I HAD to. Also, Kanan has probably only had a handful of loops at this point. This is really really shocking.

3.2: I felt the urge to write some angst, and the loops are pretty bad sometimes... I don't know what his last loop was like.

3.3: While Kanan admits he and Ezra have a father/son relationship he gets annoyed whenever Ezra tries calling him dad. Ezra spent the entire loop just digging it in that he could get away with it.

3.4: This happened rather randomly... I wanted to have some NonAwake Sabine bonding with Ezra time, but then it evolved into her looping. After I wrote this I started to ship Ezra/Sabine. Not exactly sure why. But there will be some in the future of this story. You have been warned. It WILL be a thought out thing though.

3.5: Again randomness. But you have to admit the mental image is hilarious. :P
