Sorry for the wait, senior year of high school is killing me, but at least my grades are good. The next chapter will be out sooner than this one, and be longer too. Again, sorry

(3 weeks)

They scoured looking, but found no luck, just more droids and near-death situations. Taran knew his time was running out fast, and he was beginning to lose any hope he had of proving his innocence.

Right now he was in his room, staring at the corner of his room.

"If I were me, what would I want me to do?" he thought. "Wait, that doesn't make any sense!"

Ahsoka could feel the gloomy aura coming from his room. She knew his deadline was coming, and she wanted to do something, but she couldn't. She did try the only thing she knew how to do: comfort.

She walked into his room. His eyes didn't leave the corner as she sat down next to him.

"Taran?" she said.

"Yes?" he said.

"We'll find him; I know we will," she said.

"It's looking really bleak for me now," said Taran.

"Don't lose hope," said Ahsoka, her hand going onto his.

"I haven't, but statistically, I'm done for," said Taran. His left hand hit the wall, leaving a dent in it.

"This is unfair! I didn't even do it, and now I'm going to die for a crime I didn't commit," said Taran. "I'm going to lose everything: my honor, my reputation, but most of all I'm losing you." His eyes were downcast as he looked at her, trying to bring them into contact with her, but they couldn't.

Ahsoka immediately understood how he felt. She knew he'd be going crazy if this situation were switched. His hands found both of hers, clasping them.

"Ahsoka, if the worst should happen..."

"Taran, no. I don't want to go through with this," she said.

"I have no choice," said Taran.

"Taran, just run away," she said.

"And be an outcast for the rest of my life?" he said.

"Anything if doesn't involve you dying," she said, her head laying on his shoulder, her arms around him. He gently stroked her back.

"I don't know if I can. You know they'll hunt me down the rest of my life," he said. She sighed heavily, looking into his eyes. Unspoken words were shared between the two as they looked into each others very soul. Sighing again, she kissed him deeply, never wanting to let go.


"Obi-Wan, we're running out of time for him," said Anakin.

"And might I add sir that we're allowed to use neccesary force to detain, no matter who gets in the way," said Boss.

"We know, but can't we give him more time?" said Obi-Wan

"Sorry sir. We want to, but we report to the Chancellor, and he remains firm on this," said Boss.

"This isn't right," said Anakin.

"We can't do anything about it Anakin, no matter what we do," said Obi-Wan.

"But it's better than doing nothing," said Anakin, giving Delta Squad a dirty glare. At that moment a hologram showed up on screen. Obi-Wan took a moment to tell himself it wasn't Taran, no matter what the similarity.

"Well well, if it isn't General Kenobi and General Skywalker, and Delta Squad as well. Can I speak to my brother?" said Ceran, his tone dark and sinister.

"What do you want," said Obi-Wan.

"Just letting him know about his little birth certificate cancellation coming up in a week," said Ceran.

"How do you know about that?" said Anakin.

"Oh please, and I thought you were the smart one. It's all over the HoloNet," said Ceran. Anakin growled, still looking at him.

"What do you want to talk about?" said Obi-Wan.

"Just letting him no where I am. We're the small Separatist frigate orbiting Sullust. That should give you some insight of where we are," said Ceran.

"It's obviously a trick," said Anakin.

"Do you want to take that risk, even when his life's on the line?" said Ceran. The two Jedi thought about it for a moment.

"It's no jest. You have a week to be there. If not, well then I guess my brother's done for," said Ceran. The holograph went out. Anakin growled again.

"It's obviously a trap. I bet you he's not even going to be there," said Anakin.

"We have to try. This may be Taran's only chance," said Obi-Wan. He turned to Delta Squad. "Will you fight with us?"

"Yes sir," said Delta Squad.

"Good. Admiral, signal the rest of fleet. We're going to Sullust," said Obi-Wan.

"Yes sir," said Wullfe.


His lips kissed hers sensually and softly, their arms wrapped around each other.

When they pulled away, they stared deeply at each other. Immediately, Ahsoka moved her hands to the back of her chest wrap. Taran stopped her.

"Don't," he said softly.

"But I want to," she said, just as softly.

"I won't let you do this, not yet ," said Taran.

"But you could...," she started, but he pressed a finger to her lips.

"I know, but I'm not going to let you give this up because I can die soon. I want this to happen when we're both into it," he said. He kissed her softly, holding him to her. She gripped him hard, as if he were about to leave her right then and there.

"Please don't leave me," she said, sounding like she was on the verge of tears.

"I'm not. I'll find him," Taran reassured her. He lightly stroked her back as he did this, making her calm down from her rapid emotions.


"Did they get the transmission?" said Dooku.

"Yes, they should be here shortly," said Ceran, the two smiling evilly.

Will they find Ceran in time?...
