Jedi Temple – Middle of the night
Brian was having trouble sleeping, and it showed on him. He got up and went to the fridge to get some water to drink from the bottle he had in it. He knew Jillian was right about him leaving her with the twins, and now a daughter to raise by herself. Even though the other members of the family were there, it was still a burden on her.
He then put on his outfit that he wore when he needs to work out and practice with his lightsaber. He found his way to the gym, and saw that there was no one there, and started on his daily exercises before activating the Seeker balls for practice. He went through the drills that his aunt Ahsoka had developed for him, and then some.
Unknown to him, Ahsoka had felt his dismay over Jillian, and followed him to make sure that he would not do anything to himself or anyone else. She decided to join him, and see if he was up to a challenge now.
"Hey kiddo, how about some practice with your aunt here?" She said to him with a smile on her face.
"If you don't mind losing to me again. I think you owe me about One Thousand Credits for everytime you've lost to me so far." He said with a smile on his face.
"Let's make it double or nothing. And the loser has to clean the winners living quarters." She said while activating her saber.
"You're on." He said while activating his as well.
They went into their fighting styles, and waited for one or the other to start. Brian finally made his move, and Ahsoka blocked him. They continued for a couple of hours before they realized that they had been watched by some of the Padawans and Masters. They were marveled by the skill of the two combatants, and it showed on their faces as to who was going to win.
Brian found an opening, and took advantage of it! He had finally defeated his aunt again, and he smiled at her. He and Ahsoka deactivated their sabers, and shook hands.
"Guess that two thousand I owe you now Brian. It was worth seeing you practice like that again." She complimented him on his skills with his saber.
"I've had the best teacher to show me the way to do that. Thanks aunt Ahsoka." Brian said while smiling at her.
Everyone then went over to the two of them and asked where they learned such saber skills like they had seen. Ahsoka and Brian explained that they had developed this while living on Tattoonie, and hopefully would teach it here in the Temple. The crowd wanted to learn the basics, and both Brian and Ahsoka told them that they would be back later, for they had to get some rest and get cleaned up. The crowd told them that they would be back later to learn the new saber skills. Both Brian and Ahsoka headed back to the quarters.
"Hey Brian, feeling better now?" She asked.
"A little better. I just hope that Jillian will listen to what I have to say the next time I see her." He said with remorse in his voice.
"Just give her some time kiddo, she'll listen. Now go get some rest and clean up when you get up. You smell like a Bantha." She said with a smile on her face and then laughing.
"Like you smell any better. At least I don't smell like a Tusken Raider." He said before laughing himself.
"See you later Brian." She said before going into her quarters.
"See you later aunt Ahsoka." Brian said before headed towards his quarters.
He then went inside, and laid down on his bed hoping that Jillian will forgive him, and take him back. He then fell into a restless sleep again thinking of his wife and children.
