Vader's P.O.V
I win Snips. Smirking he watched Ahsoka. "Hundreds of people share the same birthday as this Ahsoka girl and I do" She looked away from Vader to her student and gave him a simple and calm answer. "Oh" Leo replied and went back to eating. "And as for looking like her some people look like each can blame genetics for that" She look at Rex as she said that. Vader's smirk stood and walked behind Ahsoka "Then what about your force signature it's the same as her's." Vader now trying to keep Ahsoka cornered. "Force signature? Empor I insure you I am not force sensitive" Looking up meeting Vader's golden glare. "Really? Then you wouldn't mind a lil blood test?" Ahsoka stayed silent, Vader bent down and whispered in her ear. "Just give up Snips I know it's you." standing straight once again he waited for Ahsoka's reply to his surprise her glare was cold and emotionless. "Ahsoka Tano died with rest of the jedi. Lets not dilly dally in the past, hm?." Ahsoka's words were cold. "That sweet snippy little girl you once knew is gone and she's never coming back." Everyone in the room was shocked how she just acted all but the children who weren't paying attention.
Ahsoka's P.O.V
She snapped out of it. "Hmm, is everyone done eating?" turning to her class and ignoring a rather shocked Vader. "Yes." All her students said at once."Ok, Let's go sort out our things out in our quarters the parade starts in twenty minutes." She stood and walked out with her class following.
Padme's P.O.V
"What just happened?" Looking at her husband to Rex. "I have no idea" Vader replied. "The past years took a bigger toll on her then we thought. Hiding, running, always looking over her shoulder clearly changed her." "Sir,mam I noticed something as well." Turning to face rex. "What is it captain?" Padme asked the clone. Rex sighed, "she had on a wedding ring."
20 MINUTES LATER
Vader's P.O.V
He managed to get Ahsoka and her class to sit in the royal area with him and his family. Better now than never. He watched as Ahsoka was helping one of her students with chocolate brown hair getting it into a neat ponytail. "Glad to see you still love kids Snips." Ahsoka glanced over her shoulder at him and finished with the lil girl's hair and went back to watching the parade. He sighed, "Hey Snips I'm sorry for what I did." Putting a hand gently on her shoulder like he use to. "You think 'sorry' can bring them back?" Her words slightly cold. "No,but Snips please try to forgive me I know what I did was wrong and I wish I didn't do it" Vader's eyes turn blue at his words. Ahsoka looked at him and smirked before turning away. He sighed and Padme nudged him gently getting his attention. "What's wrong angel?" Padme pulled out a necklace, it was simple thin wire wrapped around a inch and a half long clear crystal,hanging from a black string tied at the ends. Vader pulls his out from under his shirt. He remember when Ahsoka made him, Padme and herself one.
Flash back
" Padme have you seen Ahsoka?" Anakin asked worried about his padawan who gone missing on a mission. "No,did you check the ship or the fields? You of all people should know she loves this kind of weather." "Well no I haven't and I didn't know that." Padme giggled as she and Anakin walked to check the ship. "I'm not surprised she doesn't get to relax in this kind of weather often." After checking the ship to see if Ahsoka was there which she wasn't they walk to the fields the grass was half their height. "Can you sense her?" Padme asked looking around. Anakin closed his eyes for a moment. "Yes,come on" After five minutes they found Ahsoka sitting in the grass messing with something. "What ya doing snips?" Anakin asked as Padme sit on both side of her. "Making these... and done!" Ahsoka smiled and put one on Padme who looked at the crystal in awe while she put another one on Anakin then herself. Anakin studied the crystal it was clear and neatly cut about an inch and a half long with a thin silver wire wrapped around it hanging from a black string. "Did you cut these yourself?" Padme asked. "Yep, I wanted you both to know how much I love you both you're like my parents to me." Smiling he hugged both of him Ahsoka in the middle. "I feel like a pancake" Ahsoka muttered and they all laughed.

"Hey Snips still got yours?" both him and Padme showed her the necklaces. A moment later Ahsoka pulled her out. The three of them hugged. "Now I feel like the pancake." Vader muttered and they all laughed and watched the parade. First step was done but there is still along way to go.
