It was few days after landing on Polis Massa. Time was long, especially because I heard from Obi-Wan that Anakin was dead. I couldn't just wait, I needed to keep my mind focus on something. I tried to meditate but it was just impossible. I was too sad about Anakin's death and about the answer I will soon hear from Yoda and Obi-Wan. They took time to think about Barriss Offee's case. It was very long but I finally got an answer. As I was taking a nap, I heard someone knocking on my door.

- Ahsoka, it's me, Obi-Wan, are you here ?

- Yes, give me two seconds. I answered.

I reached the door and I opened it.

- Hi master Kenobi. What do you need to talk about ?

- It's about Barriss. Master Yoda and I have taken our decision. I thought that you might want to know what is about to happen to her.

- You're right master. She turned bad but I care about her.

- So, her crimes can't really be considered as they used to be. We are not part of the republic now, we are pariahs. So, technically, her crimes don't exist anymore. What she made her crimes for doesn't exist. It's impossible she'll do the same thing again. Plus, she could have told to the Empire about where we're hiding now. It would have been the destruction of Polis Massa if she have done that. It definitely proves that she's not as bad as we thought.

- So, are you telling me that she is innocent now ?

- Sort of. But the problem is that she may turn to the dark side at any moment. We can't just let her go. We need someone to keep an eye on her. But we don't know yet how we could do that.

- May I suggest someone to keep an eye on her ? I asked.

- Of course.

- Me. I spouted.

- It will be a very important task. He pointed out. You'll have to stay as long as possible by her side.

- It's ok master. I heard that the last Jedis must go to exile. I don't want to be alone. I need someone to take care of. I want to leave with Barriss. She was a criminal but she's still my friend. She won't do anything stupid with me watching her.

- All right, so be it. I will tell to Yoda that you've chosen to deal with this.

- Thank you master.

- No, thanks to you. You can go to get her out of her cell if you want to.

As he left, I immediately went to Barriss's cell. I wanted to give her the good new.

- Ahsoka ? What brought you here again ? You want to talk to me ?

- Yes Barriss. I said. But not just to speak. I'm about to set you free.

I pushed a button that get the light shield opened.

- Now, you're free Barriss.

She got out of her cell to hug me.

- Thank you for forgiving me.

- Well, I didn't. It just... let's try, ok ? We have to stay together now. That's the condition for your freedom.

- I won't disappoint you again. I will be the friend as I was before going to jail. I promise.

- We'll see about that. For now, we are just two Jedis in exile. Nothing more.

- It's good enough to me. It's better than everything I expected.

I didn't believe that I was hugging the girl who betrayed me. And yet, it just felt so good to wrap my arms around her. After one minute of hugging I took her to my room so that we can talk about where we needed to go for our exile.

- So. Started Barriss. Obi-Wan is going to Tatooine, Yoda will live on Dagobah. How about us ? Where we should go ?

- I chose Mandalore. I answered. It's a moon of Concordia. We'll find someone who will help us. An Obi-Wan's friend. She will hide us.

- All right, when shall we have to leave ?

- As soon as possible.

Before leaving, we spoke to Obi-Wan and Yoda. We were very grateful about giving to Barriss the chance to become a Jedi again. We thanked them both for what they did. After bowing before them, we went to meet Ryo Chuchi. Because of what she did for us, she needed to go to exile too. Going back to Pantora would have been a sentence to death for her. Empire's troopers were obviously waiting for her. After her treason, she was no more able to go back to her home. She needed to leave in a safe place. That was why I planned to take her with me to Concordia. It was a plan she agreed on. I took her to the ship and we leaved, Barriss, her and I to the moon of Concordia.

After landing on the moon, we've met Bo-Katan Kryze, former leader of the death watch. Now governor of Concordia. The woman red hair was waiting for our arrival. She bow before us as we got out of the ship.

- So, that's the girls Obi-Wan talked about. She said.

- Indeed. We're here as exiles.

- All right, let's get in your ship, we have to leave this moon.

- Why that ? Barriss asked.

- The plan is to take you to the Juako planet. It's a jungle planet.

- Why do we not stay on Concordia ? Ryo asked.

- It's too risky for you and I. Most of people in the Mandalore system are human. It's rare to see Togrutas or Mirialans. It wouldn't be wise to stay here, you have to stay somewhere where there is a lot of different species. So that nobody will notice you're not from this world. That's what is Juako. It's a mining planet, peoples come from the whole galaxy to work in the mines of Juako. So, no one will wonder something about your presence there. Plus, there is a lot of old abandoned underground mines. So you will get an old mine just for you.

- Sounds pretty cool. Stated Ryo.

- The only problem is that you won't be able to leave this planet very easily. They control every ships coming and leaving. You will have to stay on that planet.

- How will you get us down to the surface ? I asked. We shouldn't be spotted by someone.

- I warned them that I will came today to inspect a few gold mines. We'll just have to make them believe that your are my friends, or my counselor, or my slaves, or my mistresses or whatever you want.

After a long silence, the red hair girl laughed.

- It was a joke, all right. Nothing serious. They will let me go down to the surface of the planet because of my governor status and I will land in a forest, in a isolated place. You'll just have to go to the mine I chose for you. It will be just one hundred meters in the south of where I will land. Is it ok for you ?

- I'm in. We all answered.

- So, let's go. Bo-Katan said.

We left Concordia to travel to Juako. After one hour of going through hyperspace, we finally reached the planet. There were no clouds on it, we were able to see every land of this verdant world. The surface was completely green, a dozen of rivers were on the planet. But despite the tropical climate, the north pole and the south pole were completely frozen.

The presence of Bo-Katan on board made us able to reach the surface easily. After flying beyond the jungle, she land in a forest clearing and we got out of the ship.

- Good luck. She told to us before leaving.

Barriss, Ryo and I were now in front of a big building. This huge mine was now our home. Bo-Katan had given us a card so that we can go every where we wanted in the building. We walked a few hundred meters to reach it and we made the card slide in a slot to get the door opened. The automatic door opened and we started visiting the place. We realized that the part out of the ground was the dormitory area, there were many bedrooms and a lot of offices. The real mine was under ground. Which we didn't choose to visit. Tunnels were just not really interesting to us. Every rooms and hallways were dusty. It's been a long time that someone hadn't cleaned the building. But the mine was very vast, we've definitely got very much space to live in exile. And we were finally completely safe.

After exploring the building, we've finally chosen each one bedroom that we've cleaned. Inside my room, there were a little desk, a big closet and a large bed. The only decors were many pic of naked twi'lek girls on the walls. Which I quickly threw into the trash. After cleaning all the dust in my bedroom, I chose to find something to eat. I went to the mine's mess. I met Ryo and Barriss who were already eating.

- We've found a few tins in the closets of the kitchen. Said Ryo.

- But most of them are not vegetarian food. Stated Barriss.

- Well, you can keep the vegetable meals. I answered to her. I know you prefer that, I will just take a Bantha milk. I'm not starving, it will be very fine.

I filled a glass with milk and I sat down beside Ryo. Then, I drank my glass in one time.

As I put my glass down. I realized that I was part of my favorite scene. Barriss and I, eating together. As we always did when we were still friends.
