Ahsoka sat on her bed in her quarters she used on the Resolute. She was full of anticipation for the upcoming mission that she thought held so much weight in the determination of what Anakin would do with her. She had failed miserably in the last few assignments, each time losing more and more patience, confidence, and respect from her master. Even Rex and the rest of the clones were starting to look upon her as a child that couldn't fight for herself. Just like they did on Christophos Ahsoka thought sourly.
The first mission that started her downfall fall was the one to Kyros. Anakin had told her to stay close as the place was filled with trap tiles and what not. So what does she do? Run off at the first chance she gets. They were trying to find the blueprints to the new weapon the Sepratists were going to make. Ahsoka ran straight onto a booby tile and instantly plummeted into a strong net right underneath it. When Anakin learned of this, the entire squad had to abandon the mission to go save her. When she was finally reclaimed, he had dragged her all the way back to the dropship and ordered her to stay in her quarters the rest of the night. But, he had forgiven her the next morning.
After that experience however, Ahsoka continued to progress downward. Any mission she was a part of failed and hundreds of clones died. After each mishap, Anakin became more and more distant from her and became irritated and furious at every comment, movement, or mistake she made. She was becoming less of a snippy padawan and more isolated. None of the clones wanted her around anyway, never mind her master. Feeling alone and unwanted, Ahsoka spent most of her downtime in her room crying, or in the Training Room. She still yet wanted the approval of Anakin. But that approval was becoming more a distant dream than reality.
She was pulled out of her misery with the beeping of her comlink. She answered with a wairy, "Yes Master?"
"Come down to the bridge now Ahsoka," Anakin curtly responded. Then the comlink went dead. That's it. No "Hey Snips". Snips. Anakin hadn't called her that in a long time and she missed it. Now she was just, "Ahsoka" or "Padawan". Even Rex had stopped calling her kid. They stopped having fun with her because she was, in their eyes, a walking disaster.
Ahsoka, not wanting to anger her master more than necessary hurried out of her quarters to the bridge. She passed a few clones on the way but they merely turned their heads when she came by. Her heart ached and guilt washed over her again. But she deserved. Her actions killed their brothers.
As she approached the Bridge, Ahsoka saw Anakin waiting outside tapping his foot. If times were like they used to be, Ahsoka would have made some smart comment like, "Oh, look it's the almighty master that is ALWAYS on time." But now Anakin was mad with her and would definatly scream if she even greeted him.
"Get over here Padawan," Anakin gruffly stated. Ahsoka rushed to his side. She could feel the anger, tension, and anxiety rolling off of him. He abruptly turned and walked into the Bridge, Ahsoka teetering behind. The officers and clones on deck all turned to them when Anakin yelled at her to keep up.
When they were both at the hologram station and Anakin was turning it on Ahsoka dared to ask, "Are we going on another mission master?"
Not even turning Anakin harshly answered, "Only speak when spoken to Padawan. I do not want to hear another word out of you for the rest of this meeting. After this we will meet in your quarters to discuss your behaviors. Am I understood?"
"Yes," Ahsoka answered meekly.
"What was that?" Anakin retorted.
"Yes Master," Ahsoka repeated.
Then both Jedi turned to the holographic council which was appearing before them.
