A/N: I think every Jedi has a robe stash somewhere in their ship. I can see no other explanation as to how the Jedi keep getting new robes without having to return to the Temple every time.
Also, I have a question: should I reply to reviews? If so, how?
Well, anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter as well. Please review; criticism is welcome.
Ahsoka Tano ran towards the ship at a speed approaching lightspeed. The reason for this was not because she was escaping from an enemy; it wasn't even because she was chasing after someone. No, the reason for Ahsoka's haste was just as important as all these, if not more: she was running towards her robe stash.
A few minutes before this Ahsoka's comlink had beeped and commander Rex had informed her that General Skywalker's robe had spontaneously combusted during the fighting, his own robe stash was gone (apparently, ten robes are not nearly enough for one mission) and he was now headed towards the ship to take a robe from Ashoka's own stash. Ashoka could not allow that to happen: she only had about five robes left, and she would need them all for their next mission- they would not have time to return to the Temple and restock on robes.
The temple on Coruscant was obviously not the only one in the whole galaxy, it was just the biggest one. There were plenty of smaller temples where any Jedi could restock on robes, but right now Ahsoka and Anakin were far in the Outer Rim, many light years away from any temples. They had to rely on the robes they took with them from the Temple.
Anakin's robe stash usually consisted of about ten robes, twenty if he wouldn't have time to return to the Temple before the next mission. However, Obi Wan had been telling him to decrease his robe use for quite some time (he claimed that after Anakin's visits to the Robe Room no Jedi his size could find a robe that fit), and Anakin had, for once, listened to his old Master. He took only ten robes for two missions, and now he (and Ahsoka) were suffering the consequences.
Ahsoka rushed up into the ship and to her room. She kept her robe stash hidden under the floor tiles (protection from robe thieves and Jedi fans), but any force- sensitive could easily find them. Ahsoka ran into her room to find that she was too late.
"Master!" she shouted. Anakin looked up from her robe stash. He didn't even look slightly guilty.
"Hey Ahsoka. Why are you shouting?"
"Master, those are my robes!"
"I know. By the way, this hiding place is terrible. Obi-Wan's robes were hidden waaaay better and the Jedi fans still found them. I still remember that day…"
"What happened?" Ahsoka asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. Her master rarely talked about his own time as a Padawan, and now that she got an opportunity to hear more about it she wasn't going to miss it, not even if it meant losing a robe.
"Well…"
Anakin's story will come in the next chapter.
