Chapter 1 Aftermath

Anakin Skywalker was sitting in his room with Ahsoka, chilling after the recent events. Geonosis campaign was a successful one and the Jedi managed to capture Poogle. Now, that they had already put Wat Tambor behind the bars the Jedi thought that Separatist will start to surrender since two of their leaders were captured.

The two were sitting and thinking about their recent experience. Ahsoka still was little bit depressed about what happened to her last week. Anakin saw sadness on her face and it was not difficult to figure out why the young one was unhappy.

"Ahsoka, if it will make you feel better, when I went to get information on how to save you two from those kriffin worms, I interrogated the Geonosian."

"Yea yea, some mind tricks"

"No Snips, the protocol droid translated that mind tricks do not work on Geonosians. Then, I smiled and said to him that I did not need mind tricks to let him talk. I slapped him in the face and hit him, that sleemo hit the wall. He still did not want to talk and I lifted him in the air and started choking him. After a minute or so h talked."

"Master, what you did was not something a Jedi would do"

"I do not care. You were in a life threatening situation and I needed to make him talk."

"You did that to save me? Oh, Master, thank you"

"Snips, I disagree sometimes with what the Jedi are saying. On occasions you need to do what really is necessary in order to complete your mission, especially when lives of those who you care for are in danger"

Ahsoka glanced at her Master. She know saw that he really cared about her if he even went beyond of what the Jedi could do to save her life. Ahsoka's mood has risen.

"So, Snips, let's go to have a burger."

Ahsoka agreed and the two exited their quarters. They went to Dexter's and ordered a couple of nice burgers and two cups of blue milk. The food soon arrived and the two Jedi got pretty excited. Dex came and asked how the Jedi faired.

"So how are you two doing? I heard that you disarmed some creepy parasites after leaving Geonosis"

"Well it was mainly my Padawan Ahsoka Tano who did that. I just helped her with information on how to defeat all those bugs"

"Do you know if those bugs survived? They could be cooked and then used as a nice appetizer"

Ahsoka looked at Dex with horror and almost threw up. Anakin tried to lighten the atmosphere.

"Sorry Dex but my Padawan is quite emotional about that mission. But regarding your question, you could contact Master Fisto. As far as I remember, he was in charge of that operation."

"Thanks Anakin. By the way, do you know how Obi Wan is doing? Lately he did not appear here as usual"

"I think that's because he is busy reading his data pads. Don't worry though Dex, even Obi Wan will come to eat when his stomach will be hungry".

The two Jedi finished their meal and went back to their quarters. Their trip did not take very long and soon they entered the temple. As they were walking towards one of the turbo lifts, Obi Wan Kenobi appeared and walked towards the two. When he came he asked Anakin. "Anakin, where have you been? I was looking for you"

"We were eating at Dex's. Is there a problem? I mean I am a Jedi Knight and I think I can manage my time myself."

"Well there is a problem actually. The Council has requested that you need to attend"

Anakin looked at his former Master very surprised. The elder Jedi could see that his former student was very stressed.

"Don't worry Anakin, they wish to see you not because of Padme."

Anakin's jaw dropped.
