' So... What are we going to do next?' Ezra flopped down onto the bed of his quarters.

The quarters was comfortable enough for him, judging that there weren't a lot of space in his own cabin on the Ghost. He had never seen a bedroom as large as that either. The whole quarters was separated into two separate chambers (designed for a Master and Padawan), a living room and a refresher.

No one had lived there for quite some while, so the place was rather dusty. Well, it definitely required some dusting, but Ezra didn't care.

Kanan shrugged, ' We could go sparring if you want. This place has the best training arena. It is so much better than some outdoor place, where you can't concentrate.'

' Hey! Who says I can't concentrate,' Ezra yelped. ' Cool, I want to do some sparring. Let's go. You lead the way.'

' Sure.'

Master and Padawan walked out of the room just in time to bump into a teenaged boy. The boy had rushed out of his quarters so fast that he knocked Ezra to the ground.

' Owww, who-' Ezra groaned and tried to get up.

' Oh Force, I am so sorry!' The boy and Kanan helped Ezra up. He couldn't help but take in every detail of the young boy in front of him.

The boy had neat dark brown hair and blue eyes, dressed in traditional Jedi clothes. He must be a Padawan, because he had a Padawan braid.

When Kanan took sight to the boy, he jumped from him in surprise. Ezra began to realise that the boy, in fact, looked like Kanan. Or more like, was Kanan, or Caleb Dume in that case.

' I am so sorry!' Young Kanan (Caleb) bowed his head, but hurried away immediately as if blown by wind, while shouting, ' I am so sorry! But I am late for training class! Master Billaba will be so angry!'

Ezra remarked as he watched the boy leap away (he even tripped twice and dropped his lightsaber once before hurrying away round the corner), ' Master, you have never told me that you were so careless and clumsy as a kid.'

' What?' Kanan face-palmed. ' This is so awkward seeing myself as a kid.'

' Though you were one cute kid,' Ezra teased, only to earn a glare from his master.

Kanan mumbled, ' Oh, do shut up and move on.'

Ezra grinned before following his master down the corridor.


Ahsoka definitely remembered how to return to her old quarters.

Sure, she could forget how to reach the Council Chamber, but she could need forget how to reach the quarters, where all the fond memories were held.

She pressed the button to open the door, and door slid open.

The place was as she had remembered before. The living room, dining room, refresher, bedroom were all...

As messy as before.

Ahsoka had to stifle a laugh despite all the heavy, conflicting emotions in her head. Without her cleaning, the room was actually messier than usual. Random scraps of metal littered the floor, and dust was basically everywhere. Plates were randomly placed in the sink and everything seemed misplaced.

There were two bedrooms, one for her, one for Anakin. Both doors were closed, but not locked. Ahsoka took a peek at Anakin's room.

As she had expected, metals and fixing tools were sprawled all over the floor. Random robes and armour were thrown over his unmade bed. The only tidy place was the bed stand, where a couple framed photos stood. One had Obi-wan, Padme, and him in it, taken when he was still a scruffy looking Padawan. Another had Anakin and herself in it, taken just weeks before the bombing of the Temple (with Rex unintentionally photo-bombing them). She looked so young and carefree in the photo, completely oblivious to the horrible future in store for her.

And there was a small box next to the photos... She gingerly opened it, and in it, was her Padawan braid. She took the string of silka beads and rolled them in her fingers. No doubt Anakin had kept it as a memento.

She left the door open to put out the dust, and moved on to her room instead. When she got sight of her old room, she was surprised indeed.

She had expected the room to be a mess like all the other areas in the quarters, but it was spotlessly clean and tidy.

It was almost as if she had never left at all. All her photos still hung on the wall and in her wardrobe, all her old Jedi uniforms were in it, untouched (though slightly frayed). Lying neatly on the bed were her... Old lightsaber and shotosaber.

She had lost the shotosaber in her run, and the main lightsaber in her fight with Bariss. How Anakin had managed to retrieve them, she didn't know. She pressed the ignition button of the main lightsaber, and it flared up, brilliantly green. She would want to keep them, but she had new lightsabers already, her two silver ones. It would be weird if she fought with four lightsabers (perhaps in Grievous style?), so she decided to leave them with Anakin.

Ahsoka extinguished it, and went back outside, to survey the mess.

' Well, I guess the one hour rest shall be spent as cleaning time,' She said aloud to the empty room.


Ezra nearly forgot how to breath when he reached the training arena.

The place was so... Beautiful.

There were balancing beams all around, and a rack of training lightsabers stood near the walls. A large white centre was hollowed out for duelling. The place seemed more futuristic and nicer than those rocky places where Kanan and him usually sparred.

' Told you, you will love this place so much,' Kanan chuckled. ' Anyways, stop gaping like a fish! We have lots to do. Bring up your lightsaber, we will try duelling.'

Ezra held up his blue lightsaber, and just ran towards Kanan to clash towards his blade. Kanan calmly deflected it, blocking Ezra's strikes but didn't try to attack.

Kanan was right... This place did help him think and concentrate better. Instead of being tight and nervous, he felt relaxed and let his natural abilities flow through him...

Or maybe he was too relaxed. Because with one mighty blow, Kanan knocked him to the ground.

' Well done, Ezra,' Kanan smiled as he offered Ezra a hand to help him up. ' Honestly, you are improving.'

' Sorry, I was too relaxed,' Ezra said apologetically and took Kanan's hand.

' Don't worry, this used to happen all the time to me,' Kanan chuckled lightly. ' Though you manage to have saber locks with me, which is a very good thing. Now... Since you are all warmed up and stuff, let us work on your deflecting skills.'

He walked over to the stash of training materials in a box, rummaging through the contents. ' Aha! Knew there would be one,' He held up a spherical device.

' What is that?' Ezra said in awe.

' That is a remote droid. It can hover around you and shoot laser bolts at you for you to deflect. A handy thing in training lightsaber skills it is,' Kanan explained. He threw the device up into the air and it began to shoot small laser bolts at Ezra.

' Ah ah ah!' Ezra scrambled around to deflect the bolts. Though he was screaming, making embarrassing squeals and basically acting crazy, he managed to deflect all the bolts of lightning.

Kanan used to the Force to deactivate the remote droid. Ezra dropped to the ground, panting hard, ' Dude, you don't need to set such frequent intervals!'

' Ezra, in battles, laser bolts don't have intervals,' Kanan put away the remote. ' They come at you in all four directions. So you will have to learn how to not run out of energy when deflecting them.' Ezra groaned.

' Now I have said it, next time I should put up more...'

' KANAN!' Ezra's eyes widened.

' Just kidding, I won't push you that hard for the time being, okay?' Kanan held up his hands as a form of surrendering. ' I think it is almost an hour. We have to rendezvous with Ahsoka near the Council Chambers. We better get going.'

Shooting one last glance at the training room, Ezra got up to follow his master.


Ahsoka was leaning against the wall, waiting for Kanan and Ezra.

She arrived early. Though the room was as messy as a Hutt's den, it took no time to clear up all the junk, from her experience of clearing up her master's stuff. She used the Force to sort all the metal scraps, and washed all the dishes. She even ran a duster over all the surfaces. She even pillaged some fruits from her quarters and saved some for Kanan and Ezra for breakfast.

' Oh, are we late?' Kanan approached her with Ezra behind him, still panting from his training.

' No, you are on time,' Ahsoka smiled. ' Want some fruit?' She tossed them each a piece of fruit.

' Thanks,' Ezra beamed. ' What did you do?'

' Um, I just mooched around and cleaned the quarters,' She shrugged. ' What did you guys do?'

Kanan said, ' We went to the training arena and sparred for a while.'

' Cool, that is definitely one of the places I must visit,' She laughed. ' So what are we going to do next?'

An idea popped up in Kanan's mind.

' I do think we should go visit somewhere...'


In the middle of the council room, two holo figures appeared. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi.

' Members of the Council, it is my greatest pleasure to inform you of the success of our mission,' Obi-wan announced dutifully.

' Our team is ready to make it back to Coruscant within a day,' Anakin told the Council members with a light-hearted smirk.

' Great,' Mace Windu said. ' We await your return. And you are going to be in for the greatest shock.'

' What?' Obi-wan and Anakin said together.

Shaak Ti shot Windu a pointed glance before saying,' Um, nothing. We shall await your return. Until then, Master Kenobi, Knight Skywalker.'

The two blue figures bowed and disappeared.

Luminara said afterwards, ' Really. They are going to be in for the greatest shock.'

' I still don't understand. Why can't they tell us the future?' Mace Windu scowled. ' Like they could at least tell us when this war is going to end.'

' Respect the will of the Force we must,' Yoda spoke quietly.

The Masters looked at each other, and decided to say nothing about it.

AN: Another chapter done! :DDD Do not fear! Anakin and Obi-wan will show up in no time! ;)

Something funny happened today. Like, I was sitting in my bedroom reading Star Wars fan fiction, and suddenly the Star Wars theme played. I thought I was imagining that, but when I looked out of the window, I noticed a music band rehearsing the theme song downstairs! Ah, the coincidence. And then they began playing the Imperial March and the conductor used a red lightsaber instead of a conductor's baton. I couldn't stop laughing... They repeated the song for like five times.
