Hey guys!

Sorry for the wait, I know its been like a month!

And someone asked me for a timeline, so heres what I think is going on:

6 am - Ezra and John discuss meeting the crew

9 am - Ezra talks to crew

11 am - Ezra is suppose to meet John again, Ezra doesn't show

12 pm - crew is suppose to meet John, Ezra never shows

So its about...4 pm right now in this story

Kanan was worried.

He hadn't seen his padawan in hours, and Ezra had looked anxious to show the crew his new friend. Why would he just bail? So the possibilities on what could have happened to Ezra flew through his mind.

Would a Imperial recognize him already?

No...the boy had only been with the crew for a few months. Plus he was smart enough to dodge past bucketheads. In his home city, Ezra could out-hide anyone.

Could he have gotten hurt?

The image of a wounded Ezra, sprawled out in the middle of nowhere flashed through his mind. Ezra certainly wasn't clumsy, so the idea of an accident like that happening was nearly impossible.

Then where was he?

The last signals Kanan had received from the boy were strange. Lately, the boy's aura had been completely off. It was no longer guarded, and he was a bit happier and lighter.

Like a new person was influencing him.

But who?

Kanan thought back to his previous thoughts. Perhaps a new friend? But new friends hadn't affected Ezra like that. Kanan's throat grew dry at the thought of Ezra being with a girl.

Ezra definitely wasn't ugly by any means. If anything, the young teenager was quite handsome.

The Jedi smirked to himself. Of course he wouldn't be mad if Ezra did have a girlfriend. The kid was probably a player. He seemed to talk smoothly around Sabine, although the older girl showed no interest.

Kanan sighed. He just wished Ezra would talk to him.

"Excuse me, ma'am? Have you seen this boy?"

"No."

"Pardon me sir, but have you seen this boy today?"

"No, not today."

"Miss! Miss! Did you see this boy today?"

"I've never seen him in my life."

John slumped down on his couch. He had been looking for Ezra for hours now, and sunset was only in a few hours. He had decided to go home for a while to clear his thoughts.

A slim figure plopping down next to him didn't phase him. His younger brother, Sean, had sat down.

Sean was now thirteen...and a dead look-a-like to his older brother. The only difference were their heights, clothes, and voices. John now towered over his sibling, and his voice much deeper.

"John, can you give me some advice?" Sean pleaded, fiddling with a chunk of his stray hair.

John, who was not in the mood, crossly looked over. "What?"

"Sooo...My school's dance is next weekend and I wanted to, well...ask this girl..." Sean flustered.

"I don't talk to girls, you know that." John said in a huff.

"I know you're gay. But Eddi, Jax, Reni, and Zack are busy, and Papa is out." Sean whined, referring to the other six female persuing members of their diverse family.

"Go talk to Mari, she's home." John snapped, getting up to make himself a cup of tea.

Sean grabbed a nearby pillow, squeezing it fiercly. "But she's a girl!"

"So? Maybe she can give you insight on girls."

"...Ew! I can't ask her!"

John had had enough. "Well why are you whining to me, I can't help you in any way!"

"But you're my big brother! Plus you're actually in a successful relationship."

John stopped what he was doing. Staring at his pot, he mumbled, "Yeah, I don't know about that anymore."

Sean stopped attacking his plush. "What? Ezra dumped you?"

John sighed, continuing making his tea. "No, not exactly. He was suppose to introduce me to his crew, but he never showed."

"But Ez never breaks his promises." Sean whispered.

"I know..."

"So what are you doing?" Sean asked.

"Excuse me?"

"What are you doing?! Ezra never breaks his promises."

John stopped heating his water. "I'm sure i'll see him tomorrow and he'll say he chickened out."

"Ezra. Never. Breaks. His. Promises. Especially not to you." Sean pushed, amber eyes impossibly wide.

John processed this information for a moment. What was he doing?! Making tea...trying to forget?

He suddenly dumped the boiling water down the drain, steam filling the kitchen. The young adult ran towards the door, grabbing his coat.

"Where are you-" Sean began. But John didn't hear him out, for he had already flown through the door, racing to get his speeder.

Because Ezra never broke his promises.

I wasn't sure about this chapter, or how to approach it for a while, but I think this is okay?

Tell me what you guys think!
