"Ezra? I know you have told me you wish to keep your jumpsuit, but wouldn't it be nice to have other choices? It's not like we can't get you other clothes..."

Ahsoka wasn't trying to be judgemental. She knew the hardships of surviving on your own, especially if the only thing you owned were the clothes on your back, but Ezra refused to wear anything but the orange jumpsuit she had found him in. She understood Ezra's attachment with his clothes, being the only thing reminding him of his past, and she understood his refusal to part with it, but it was getting out of hand. The suit itself seemed to become undone in various places and was constantly dirty since Ezra didn't trust it to not come apart when washed. Although there were various things wrong with the suit, what Ahsoka was most concerned about was that Ezra will soon outgrow it. When she had found him, the suit had already shown signs of being too small for the boy, even for his unnatural small stature. But the longer he stayed with her and indulged in a healthy diet, it became apparent that the suit will not last long on the growing boy; thus throwing Ahsoka into this dilemma.

"But I don't need other clothes or other choices. I have my jumpsuit." Ezra replied, with irritation lining his voice. He didn't need anything else, why couldn't Ahsoka understand that?

"Ezra, your suit is becoming undone, it won't be able to survive for long, especially with your growing stature. I just think it would be good to get you some new clothes you can u-"

"I don't NEED anything else! I don't WANT anything else! You can't just take it from me because it's ripped and used! It's mine and I'm not letting it go!" Ezra yelled, furious that Ahsoka would even think of taking away his jumpsuit. Didn't she understand that it was his? Didn't she understand that it was the only thing he had that was his? He didn't care if it was ripped and a little dirty. The suit was the only thing he had left, and he wasn't going to let anyone take it from him.

Ahsoka took a calming breath. She had expected this reaction from him, since each time she brought up the thought of getting clothes she was met with Ezra's temper and irritation. Most of the time she would concede and leave the boy be, but not today.

"I understand why you're upset. Your jumpsuit is probably the only thing you have from your past, from your parents" At that Ezra flinched, as he always did with the mention of his parents. She saw his shoulders begin to sag, his anger deflating as he seemed to remember his past. "I understand Ezra, more than you may know, but you must also understand that your jumpsuit will not last forever. Whether it becomes so undone that there's nothing left or you will grow too big to fit in it, one day you won't be able to wear your suit anymore, but that doesn't mean you have to get rid of it." At that Ezra looked up, glossy eyes showing confusion and a bit of hope at her words. Ahsoka gently smiled at the boy reaching out to put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Even if you get new clothes, you don't have to get rid of your jumpsuit. You can keep it, preserve it, hold on to it for as long as you like. I am not asking you to let it go, Ezra, especially with the meaning it holds, but you do need new clothes."

Ezra looked down at his feet, a habit she has noticed he does when thinking. "I don't have to throw away my suit?..."

Ahsoka smiled again, squeezing his shoulder in reassurance. "No Ezra, you don't have to throw it away. If you want to keep it we can even get it cleaned and I can help you put it in a protective cover so you can hang it in your room if you'd like."

"You'd do that for me?" Ezra looked up in a sense of awe, his anger completely forgotten. He knew Ahsoka was a kind person, always patient even when he blew up like this with her, but he never expected this.

Ahsoka smiled gently at the boy, knowing she finally broke through his anger and understood his need of reassurance. "Of course"

Ezra grinned, happy over the fact that he would keep his suit and glad Ahsoka understood his need to keep it. He knew Ahsoka had a difficult past, he often saw it in the way she was and how much she understood his pain. Not for the first time had Ezra been glad it was Ahsoka who had found him and he often wished he could do more for her instead of throwing these tantrums at her.

Remorseful of his actions, he laid his hand on top of the one she had on his shoulder. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I didn't mean to get so angry but when I thought you were going to take it away I couldn't help it. I'm sorry Ahsoka"

"It's quite alright Ezra, I know you didn't mean to yell and you were just frustrated, but you mustn't let your anger control you. It's alright to feel angry or hurt, but don't let it consume you to the point that it dictates your actions. One day it might make you do or say something you might regret."

Ahsoka held in a sigh when Ezra hesitantly nodded and mumbled a small "I'll try." She knew that his outburst was normal with his age and his ongoing frustration with her insistence, but Ahsoka was worried. It was times like these when the boy lost control that Ahsoka can feel the extent of the anger and hate the boy had. She knew it was never healthy for anyone to let those feeling fester, and it was especially dangerous for a force sensitive child like Ezra. She had to make him understand the danger of his anger and hopeful help him learn how to control his temper to avoid anything the boy may regret.

Ahsoka smiled and let go of the boy's shoulder, guiding him towards the entrance of the ship. "Well now that we have that settled, it's time to get you some clothes"

"Is it alright if I pick them out?"

"Of course. They are your clothes Ezra, you can choose whatever you like."

As Ezra grinned and began bouncing his way out of the ship, Ahsoka knew she a long road ahead with him, but that was alright. She had confidence Ezra would overcome his past and Ahsoka would be there every step of the way with him. So long as she was alive she would not let Ezra fall.


Hello. Because I always have trouble responding on this thing, I will put my responses here:

David McCusker: Can you please have Ahsoka use electric judgment you no the down graded version of force lighting developed by plo kun and you no he and Ahsoka have a history maybe he taught it to her and give Ezra two lightsaber s that can be come a double ended one please just think about it please

As awesome as that would be, I want to keep this story as close to canon as I can. Because Ahsoka has never demonstrated the ability and has never shown to know how to use it, she wouldnt be able to teach it anybody.

Darth goku:Can you have Ezra have a double ended blue light safer with the blades slightly shorter you no like Darth Zannau just think about it please. Is Ezra going to go through Gray Jedi training and is ahsoka going to have Jedi holocrons and is ahsoka going to use electric judgment you no how close her and Plo kun were maybe he taught her and if you don't no what electric judgment is it is a down graded version of Sith lightning that Plo kun developed that is good at stunning and paralysis and only he could do but just think about this please.

Again, I want to keep it as close as I can to canon universe so there will be no lightning. Ezras lightsaber design however, is up for debate. Because this story is following a different story line than canon, it is possible for Ezra to make a different design for his lightsaber. I have been playing around with the idea of a double sided lightsaber and have debated what color it might be, but for now I have not made a decision, and I probably wont until I get to that point (which will be a while) For the rest of your questions, you'll have to wait and see! :D
