I'd like to thank everyone that reviewed and favorited this story. It inspired me to finish this chapter sooner and I got a few ideas from the reviews.
Now then, it's time for Anakin to get into trouble. Hope you enjoy.
Note: some minor swearing in this chapter.

The next morning
Anakin Skywalker was sleeping peacefully in his quarters inside the Temple. All of a sudden and without warning a loud sound blared through the room. "What the…?!" Anakin yelled as he was suddenly disturbed in his rest. Despite being disoriented from the rude awakening, he recognized the sound to be his alarm clock. "Was it always this damn loud?!" he thought annoyed. With a frustrated grunt he slammed his fist on the off button. With a sigh of relief he relaxed into his bed. His moment of relief was short-lived as a bucket of ice cold water landed all over him. "Aah!" he yelled in surprise as he lept out of his bed. He stared in shock at his bed. His alarm clock had been connected with some kind of amplifier. Another wire ran from the clock to some contraption above his bed where the bucket apparently stood on. He stared at it in disbelief. "Did Ahsoka do this?" he wondered.
He moved to his closet to grab a set of robes for the day. He yelped in pain when his hand was suddenly stuck in a mouse trap. "Are you kriffin' kidding me?!" he said out loud as he shook the trap of his hand.
After getting his robes and being caught in two more mouse traps Anakin made his way out of his room. The door opened and he walked out. "Let's hope that that was the only thi…!" he said as his foot suddenly slipped and he fell down on the ground. "ugh…" he said in frustration. He sat upright and felt around the floor with his hand. It had been smeared with… "Is this butter?" he asked in disbelief. He kept staring at his hand for a moment. "Ahsoka!" he yelled at his padawan. He waited a moment but there was no response. He tried to find her with the Force, but she was hiding her presence extremely well. He would be unable to locate her like this. He sighed and carefully got off the ground.
Anakin had carefully made his way to his refresher. So far he had avoided more traps, but he figured that Ahsoka still had more traps waiting for him. While he was enjoying his shower, his worry slightly increased. "Has she done anything to the shower as well?" he asked himself. As he wondered this possibility, the warm water of his shower suddenly turned as cold as Hoth. "Aah!" He yelled in surprise as he jumped and trashed to get out of the shower. He grunted in frustration as he shut of the shower with the Force. He grabbed a towel and began drying his face. "What?!" he reacted as he saw his face in the mirror. His entire face was blue. He took a closer look at the towel in his hands and noticed that it was filled with ink. He tossed it aside and went to find a clean towel.
It had taken him about fifteen minutes to get rid of all of the ink. When he was finally done and dressed he went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. As he sat down at the table he noticed several articles that Ahsoka had obviously left behind for him. He read the headlines: "Affairs in the Senate? Jedi and Senator?", "Love tragedy between Jedi and Senator?" and similar texts like that. "Just great, I'm never going to hear the end of this." Anakin thought in frustration.
He took a bite of his food and was unpleasantly surprised by a burning sensation. "Spices in the food?!" he spit out the food and grabbed his coffee, hoping to get rid of the foul taste. He took a sip of his drink and spit it out almost instantly. "Salt?!" he said in disgust. He coughed a bit and got up from his seat. Anakin looked around the apartment. "I'm going to get something to eat from the mess hall, I don't trust anything else in here anymore. After that I'm going to find Ahsoka." He thought as he made his way out of the apartment.

Anakin grunted in frustration as he left his quarters a second time. How Ahsoka had been able to hack those cleaning droids and program them to shower him with soap and foam he might never know. The whole event had taken him completely by surprise. One moment he walked by a group of three cleaning droids. Then, without warning, they focused their attention on him and treated him like some grease stain. He carefully checked the corridors before walking completely out of his room. First things first, he was going to the mess hall to eat. Then, he was going after Ahsoka.

About thirty minutes later Anakin left the mess hall. As he walked through the halls to locate Ahsoka, he ran into his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi, master Luminara Unduli and her padawan Barriss Offee. "Hello Masters, padawan Offee." He said to them, a hint of caution in his voice. Luminara and Barriss nodded respectfully. "Hello Anakin, you look a little…tense. Is something wrong?" Obi-Wan replied as he observed his former padawan. "Don't ask." Anakin replied, earning himself three curious stares. "Has any of you seen Ahsoka?" He asked the three Jedi. "I've yet to see her since she returned from escorting young Senator Bonteri." Obi-Wan replied. "I'm sorry Skywalker, but I haven't seen her in a while." Luminara replied. "Barriss, how about you?" she asked her padawan. Barriss shook her head. "Not since yesterday Master." She replied. Anakin sighed in frustration. "Is something wrong Anakin?" Obi-Wan asked. "Not really, I'm just trying to find her." Anakin replied a little to calm for his usual doing. "The two of us have to attend a meeting, perhaps Barriss can help you locate her?" Luminara offered. A slight wave of shock could be sensed from Barriss, causing the other three to look at her. "With all due respect Masters, I'm not going to stay anywhere near Master Skywalker today." Barriss replied nervously. "What is that supposed to mean?" Anakin asked annoyed. "When I saw Ahsoka yesterday, she hinted to me that it wouldn't be a good idea to be around you today. She appeared very angry, nothing like her usual behavior." Barriss replied. Obi-Wan and Luminara looked at Barriss and then at Anakin. "Anakin, what did you do this time?" Obi-Wan asked. "Nothing! I didn't do anything." Anakin replied. "So, something about not messing around with her ship doesn't ring a bell?" Barriss asked. Anakin shot her an annoyed look. Obi-Wan sighed. "I guess you finally did it this time Anakin." Obi-Wan said. "We have to go to our meeting now, good luck in dealing with your padawan." Obi-Wan told him with amusement in his voice. "Hold on Obi-Wan, I…" Anakin began when he heard several bleeps at the end of the hall. "Uh-oh…" he said when he saw two more cleaning droids directing their attention towards him. "I gotta go." Anakin said hastily as he began to ran in the opposite direction of the droids. Luminara and Barriss jumped aside as the two droids chased after him. The three Jedi looked on as Anakin disappeared around the corner. "Is this usual behavior for them?" Luminara asked Obi-Wan. He chuckled a bit. "They've played some minor pranks on each other. This seems a bit more than they usually do." He replied. "Well, Ahsoka did seem very angry and upset yesterday. I guess she's trying to teach him a little lesson." Barriss said. The other two Jedi thought about her statement for a moment. "Oh well, we have a meeting to attend. Shall we go?" Obi-Wan said after a moment. Luminara and Barriss nodded and they continued towards their meeting.

Through a number of perilous and acrobatic maneuvers Anakin had finally managed to avoid the cleaning droids from giving him another foam bath. As he sat in his hiding place he suddenly felt a presence. "There you are Ahsoka!" He had finally located her. She was in one of the training rooms, surrounded by a large group of younglings. After making sure that there weren't any more cleaning droids looking for him he jumped down from his hiding spot and started making his way to the training room Ahsoka was in.

Anakin entered the hall and looked around. He spotted Ahsoka standing at the end of the room, surrounded by a large group of initiates and two Jedi Masters standing behind them. Ahsoka was telling them about something. He didn't really listen as he began to make his way towards her.
"When you're out there in the galaxy, be it on some battlefield or in some palace or things like that, you always have to take care of your surroundings." Ahsoka was telling the group who were listening with great enthusiasm. Anakin ignored the things she said and continued making his way toward her.
"A lot of people know how dangerous facing a Jedi is. Occasionally you'll encounter people that will try to avoid fighting in the first place. They will try to prevent you from reaching them, most likely with a lot of soldiers or droids. However, what I've also seen in several missions are various kinds of traps." Ahsoka said to the younglings. "So, our previous missions is where she got the idea for those booby-traps?" Anakin wondered. "Some cowards will built massive hideouts and cower somewhere inside. They'll fill their base with traps of all kinds. You'll probably encounter hidden blasters, poison or sleeping gas, fake walls and of course: trap doors." Ahsoka said as she made a gesture towards Anakin, making all of the younglings turn their heads towards him. Anakin was confused by her action. "What is she talking about? Wait…" He thought. Unfortunately for him, he figured out her hint a moment too late as the floor beneath him suddenly vanished. His echoing yell was heard as he fell down the trap hole. "Ugh!" he grunted as he landed. With an annoyed sigh he looked up. "What is…?" he said as he noticed four compartments in the walls of the hole open above him. A look of horror spread across his face as large doses of unidentifiable green goo poured out of the holes and drenched him completely. "Ugh! What is this?! Ahsoka!" he yelled. The hole he was in was filled to his knees with the slimy green goo. Anakin focused on the Force and jumped with all of his might. He barely managed to grab the edge of the trap hole. He grunted as he pulled himself up, the slime on his body making him a lot heavier than usual.
Anakin finally got out of the hole and looked around. He was greeted by a large round of laughter from the younglings, even the two masters were laughing. Ahsoka however, was nowhere to be seen. He heard someone clear their throat beside him. He turned and saw Ahsoka standing next to him with two large bags in her hands. She smirked wickedly and threw the bags at him. Before Anakin even registered it, he was completely covered in not only the green goo, but also a large dose of fur and feathers.
As Anakin was trying to process the fact that Ahsoka turned him into some kind off Wookie-chicken freak, Ahsoka had turned around and was walking back to the group of now hysterically laughing younglings. Anakin turned to Ahsoka as she started to talk to the group again. "Another type of trap you might encounter are traps designed to disarm you and leave you vulnerable, like magnetized floors or ceilings." Ahsoka said as she pressed a button on her wrist. "Nooooo!" Anakin yelled as he was pulled to the ceiling by his robotic arm. "Ahsokaaaah!" Anakin yelled angrily as he hung from the ceiling, dripping goo, fur and feathers. "And that completes my story." She said as she bowed to the group, receiving a large round of applause and laughter. "Ahsoka!" Anakin yelled again. She turned to him and looked up at him. "Is something wrong Master?" she asked innocently. "Let me down from here!" he demanded. "What are you talking about?" she asked with the same innocent smile. "You know damn well what I'm talking about!" Anakin yelled angrily. "Hmm?" was her reply as she tilted her head and kept looking at him innocently. He quickly realized what she was doing and that she wasn't going to quit soon.
Ahsoka just kept looking at him while the younglings kept laughing. Some more goo dripped down to the ground as Anakin sighed in defeat. "Alright Snips, you win." He said to her. "I'm sorry, what was that?" she asked, pretending that she hadn't heard him. Anakin sighed again. "I won't mess around with your ship again. I promise." He said. Ahsoka smiled. "Thank you Master. I'm so glad that we had this little talk." She replied casually. Anakin gave her an irritated look. "I have a lunch appointment, I'll be back in a few hours." Ahsoka said as she began to walk to the exit of the training hall. "Ahsoka!" Anakin called after her. "See you later Skyguy!" she called back. "AHSOKA!" Anakin shouted after her.
Ahsoka stepped out of the training hall. As she did she spotted a familiar face walking by the door. "Ko-Toh-Yah Master Plo." She said to her oldest friend. "Ko-Toh-Yah Littl' Soka." The Kel Dorian replied. "Where are you headed?" he asked. "I have a lunch appointment outside the Temple, so I'm headed there now." She replied with a smile. "Sounds nice. Enjoy yourself Ahsoka." He said. "Thank you Master Plo." She replied. A shout came from the room behind Ahsoka. Master Plo looked inside and saw some humanoid form covered in goo, fur and feathers hanging from the ceiling, shouting and complaining. He identified the Force signature as Anakin's. He looked at Ahsoka. "Do I want to know?" Master Plo asked her. "No, not really." She replied with a shrug. "I'll see you later Master Plo." She said as she walked off. Master Plo looked at her as she walked off and then at the hanging form of Anakin. He shrugged and went on with his own business.

That's the end of this story. I hope you enjoyed it. It was pretty fun writing this.
I hope I got the greeting between Ahsoka and Plo Koon right. I've read it a few times before but couldn't really remember how it was spelled.
Right now I'm going to continue with my other stories. I'm working on new chapters for both my Ahsoka and my Barriss story. I expect to upload a new chapter in a few days from now.
Until next time.
