She was late. After spending a little too much time in the bathroom Ahsoka was rushing down the connecting hallways towards the bridge. Her master had called ten minutes ago for an urgent meeting. Urgent, which meant now. Now had came and went, she couldn't help it, she had to wash her face and apply makeup and make sure her outfit looked straight and- by the time that was all done she still felt like she had the time to rehearse asking Rex to hang out. Her hopes were high, there was no way the Captain could say no to a Jedi anyway.

Rounding the corner an upcoming door slid open with her presence, and immediately she ran right into Anakin; this caused her to recoil and fall back to the floor. Groaning, she rubbed her head and looked up to her master.

"Snips! There you are!" He exclaimed, helping his Padawan to her feet. "Where the heck have you been?!"

"Sorry sky guy, I was uh...training."

He seemed too distracted to catch the uncertainty,"Ok whatever just hurry up in the control room."

She followed, glancing around the bridge to see all the men at work: sitting at the control panels, standing with holograms and quietly chatting with one another. She smiled, another day of being fourteen. She had only recently been assigned to her master Anakin Skywalker, and shortly after had to battle the Separatists with one of their evil plots involving the kidnapping of Jabba The Hutt's son to gain access to their space routes by blaming it on the Republic- but she embraced her abilities and new position gladly. She could be a Jedi Knight in no time. As she entered the Control room she smiled at the thought, she couldn't wait!

Standing around the large holo-table was Master Obi-Wan deep in thought next to commander Cody. They both looked up at their entrance. A few bridge officers stood around hard at work.

"Why hello Ahsoka, it's about time you joined us."

"Well, now we're here." The change in Anakins mood to a calm and collective charmer made Ahsoka roll her eyes.

"So what is this all about? Bad guys I gotta take care of? When are we leaving master?-"

"Whoa woa woa take it easy Ahsoka, we're not going anywhere." Anakin folded his arms while shuffling towards Kenobi.

"What? So...what is it then?" Ahsoka was curious.

"Well as we all know you- um...well you're..."

"-a girl."

"Anakin!"

"Sorry."

"And-well- yes, you are a girl."

Ahsoka raised an eyebrow. "And?"

"Well, due to your age and current position in the war the Jedi council... advises some sort of insurance of your well being."

"Obi-Wan I don't think I understand." Ahsoka was lost, she just got here, what else could be wrong?

"Snips, we hired another girl to work under your command so that you would have female company." There was a moment as the blurted news sank into the padawans head. She looked to her master,

"A-another girl? Master I don't think this is necessary-!"

"Actually we thought you would be happy about this." Skywalker shot a glance to Kenobi, "this was important considering your age-"

"My age?! Happy about this?! Guys I don't need anyone I can take care of myself!" She pointed to the two Jedi knights, "you don't think I can take care of myself!"

Obi-Wan looked at Cody, who was beginning to feel a little awkward and, seeing the look on his commanding officers face, took the hint to leave the room. "I guess i'll go finish up the report," he suggested whilst slinking away from the conversation. Obi-Wan then moved around the table to approach Ahsoka.

"Ahsoka, we are not saying anything like that."

She couldn't believe this, "Yes you are! You guys don't trust me!"

"Ahsoka! Of course we trust you it's just!-"

"Well I'll prove it! You'll see!" She turned around to leave.

"Well whether you like it or not she'll be here tomorrow at 0700 hours!" Anakin barked after her before the door closed and she was put of sight.
