We'll Be Together Again, All Just a Dream In the End
A Star Wars Fanfic
Part One
(A/N: Let me just make it very, very clear this IS NOT an Anisoka fic! As friends, yes. As master and apprentice, yes. As brother-and-sister-in-arms, yes. As lovers, absolutely not.)
OoOoOoOo
Ahsoka Tano never looked back, figuratively or literally, no matter how much she was tempted to. Relinquishing her rank and leaving the Order had been her choice. No one had forced it on her, but neither had they forced her to return. It was her own heart, her shattered confidence in the Jedi, that had led her to leave. It was the will of the force...your greatest trial...so you might be a stronger Jedi.
Oh, she was stronger alright. But not a Jedi. She could not stay among the Masters who had disbelieved her and cast her out, shamefully, into the cold. She could not stay among the Senators and lawmen who had accused her of horrific actions, of the mass murder of innocents, who had locked her away and broadcasted her shame for all to see. She could not stay with the clones whose shots she would have died by had Tarkin had his way.
Her only regret was, to leave all this behind, she also had to leave the one man who had stood by her no matter what, the man who stood up in public for her innocence, the one who had risked everything to find the true bomber, the one who would have taken those shots for her had it come to that. Anakin Skywalker.
I'll miss him, was all Ahsoka could think as she boarded the shuttle to leave Coruscant forever. Anakin was the older brother I never had. He taught me things no one else could. He laughed and cried with me and for me when appropriate. He knew things about me I wasn't sure of myself. He believed in me, no matter what.
Maybe I'll see him again. True brothers are for life.
