Merry Christmas Guys.

Have a present.


"Padawan Tano huh?" Knight Skywalker looked at her, eyes brows raised. "Never seen you before."

"We're from one of the outer rim temples." Ahsoka said quickly. "You sound like you're from the main temple, you know...smart and all." She cringed at her rather lackluster attempt at lying or flattery.

"Well I am a pretty wizard Jedi." And he falls for it.

"Yep, you sure are." She muttered under her breath.

They arrived at the cantina. Ahsoka was sure the ion storm did more than just scramble her brains, it also sent her into another world. She been here before, and she knew it looked completely different than last time.

By the Force, what has she gotten herself into?

"Obi-Wan!"

Oh Force. Oh Force. Skywalker she could trick, she knew how. But Obi-wan? He'll see through her so quickly! Ahsoka wasn't sure if she was...'here' in this place, and she wasn't going to wait to find out. She'll need a terminal to see if Ahsoka Tano was even a Jedi. Hopefully she's a Jedi. After all, what else is there to do?

"Anakin. Whose that with you?"

Crap. Double crap.

"This is padawan Tano." He pats her on the head. The familiar gesture was heart wrenching. "She says she was supposed to find her master here."

"Really? How odd." Master Obi-wan peered at the girl curiously. "I didn't know there were other Jedi here in this particular sector. Are you sure you're not lost?"

"Yes sir."

He continued to stroke his fuzzy hairy chin. Ahsoka knew not to expect neatly trimmed hair, although this Obi-wan did manage to trim it very close. It wasn't the same though.

"Well, hopefully your master will come fetch you. We can't play nursemaids. We're due on a mission very soon."

Before she could have argued, sneaked, anything to get onto the mission. This time, she wasn't so sure.

"Er, good luck masters." She smiled. "May the force be with you."

"And you, little one."

As soon as they departed, she went to the nearest terminal to look for herself. What she found...what she found didn't make her feel any better about the situation.
