Chapter 4

Somebody That I Used To Know

R7 wouldn't stop beeping at me the entire way down to Carlac. I don't like the cold, Master Tano! He beeped. I sighed, "I don't either, Arseven, but it's not like we have much of a choice."

"Ahsoka cut the chatter. We're entering the atmosphere." I heard Rodi over the intercom installed in the starfighter.

"Sorry Rodi, approaching the planet's surface." I replied.

I landed my starfighter on the powdery snow. I put on my coat and then I hopped out of the fighter and landed in the snow. Hazel and Layda were getting their droids (R6 and R5) out of their fighters. And Sayda and Padmé were trying to stabilize their fighter before landing. Riyo was patting her droid, R3, on the head. She was trying to convince him that it was just a little snow and that it wouldn't hurt him. Yoli was trying to zip up her orange coat; it was actually pretty funny to watch. Rodi's starfighter was on the ground, but she was still sitting inside with her arms crossed. I got R7 out of my fighter and placed him on the snow covered landscape. "Stay." I told him.

I walked over to Rodi's starfighter. "Why is she still inside?" I asked her droid, R8.

She doesn't like the cold. R8 beeped.

"Oh, I see." I said. I used the Force to get R8 out of the starfighter. He beeped happily and rolled off towards Padmé and Sayda's droids, R4 and R9.

I tapped on the glass of Rodi's fighter. "Rodi? Rodi?" I asked.

She looked at me, "What?" She asked a bit rudely.

"You know you'll have to come out of there eventually, right?" I asked.

"No I don't." Rodi replied.

"So you're just going to sit in there?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Yes, yes I am." Rodi replied turning up her nose.

"Why don't you want to come out?" I asked.

"I hate cold weather." Rodi said.

"Well I hate it too, and so do R7 and R3. But we're putting up with it. And so can you." I told her.

Rodi sighed. "Fine, I'll come out. But when I die of hypothermia, you stay away from my funeral."

I rolled my eyes playfully. "Whatever you say, Rodi."

Rodi put on her red parka and slid out of the starfighter. "Well, at least it's not Hoth." She concluded.

"That's right, Rodi! Look at the positive!" I said sarcastically.

"Watch it, Tano." Rodi warned. "Where's R8?"

I looked around until I spotted him by R2 (Yoli's droid and it isn't R2-D2). "Over there." I pointed.

"Thanks, Ahsoka." Rodi said before going off to get R8.

R7 bumped into my legs. "What is it buddy?" I asked, getting on his level.

Can we go back to the ship now? He asked.

I frowned at him and stood back up, "No, not until we finish the mission."

He rolled off, but I heard him say, This is droid abuse, as he did.

"So Ahsoka, where do we go?" Hazel asked.

"I think we should split into groups of two and scout ahead for anything suspicious." I said.

"I agree with Ahsoka." Rodi said. "She and I will go North along with R7 and R8."

I nodded in agreement. "And I will go with South with Padmé along with R4 and R9." Sayda said.

"Riyo and I will go East with R3 and R5." Layda said.

"And Yoli, R2, R6 and I will go West." Hazel said.

"Let's get going." I told Rodi. We all went our separate directions with our droids.

We had been walking for about six miles. And the longer we walked, the more I thought about Lux. I really did miss him. I knew that the Deathwatch would be gone, nobody's stupid enough to stay here after what happened.

Suddenly, Rodi stopped walking. "Rodi? Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Something's coming." She said, her skin turning even paler than it already was.

"It's probably the cold weather getting to your head, come on." I resumed walking.

"Ahsoka!" She hissed.

I started to turn around, "What?" Rodi tackled me behind a bush and put her hand over my mouth. R7 and R8 rolled off behind a few trees. I had no idea what was going on. Then I heard a female's voice, "Do you see anything?" Bo-Katan! Oh, so they are stupid enough to stay after what happened.

"No, let's keep moving." It was a male's voice, luckily I didn't recognize it. I was about to get up when Rodi pulled me back down again. I watched as they came into view. They stopped right in front of us, luckily they didn't see us.

Bo grunted in frustration. "Skinny's lucky she got away." I held my breath; I knew she was talking about me.

"Hey, at least we got her 'betrothed'." The man said. "What a stupid move, taking an escape pod. It was too easy to get him." I stopped breathing entirely. They have Lux! I almost started hyperventilating.

"I just wonder why we're keeping him alive!" Bo snapped. He's still alive! "He betrayed us and he deserves to die!" I gasped, thank the Force they didn't hear me.

"Vizsla's orders, not mine." The man said. "Come on, let's keep moving."

They walked off, but we stayed down a good five minutes before standing up. 'Did you understand any of that?" Rodi asked me.

I sighed. "Yes, actually. I did."

Rodi's blue eyes widened. She gripped my shoulders and shook me violently. "Tell me!"

"Okay, okay. I'll tell you!" I said.

She stopped shaking me. "You'd better sit down." I told her.

She sat down on a rock and I sat down beside her. R7 and R8 rolled back out from behind the trees. I decided to start from the beginning. And by beginning, I mean from when (Senator) Padmé Amidala and I went to Raxus. I told her everything. About the Deathwatch, about the betrothed thing, and even about the kiss. But if I could tell anybody that it would be Rodi.

When I finished, Rodi didn't looked shocked at all, just mildly confused. "So wait," Rodi began. "You're "Skinny?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm "Skinny." I replied.

"And this Lux person, who is also your boyfriend, is being held hostage by Deathwatch?" Rodi asked.

"He's not my boyfriend!" I practically yelled. "And yes, he is being held hostage by Deathwatch."

"And you want to rescue him?" Rodi asked.

"Well, yes." I replied.

"Cool! That's so much better than the original mission!" Rodi said enthusiastically.

I smiled, "So you'll help me?"

"Of course I will!" Rodi said. "What are friends for?"

I hugged her. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Come on." Rodi said. "Let's go tell the others."

Rodi and I stood up. R7 beeped at me; Can we get out of the cold now? He asked hopefully.

I chuckled, "Sorry, but not yet. I need you to locate the other droids on your scanners. Start with R3 and R5, we'll find Riyo and Layda first."

A small satellite dish came out of the top of R7's canister. He beeped affirmatively when he was done. "Do you know where they are?" Rodi asked, she was trying to get ice out of R8's servos.

R7 beeped happily, Yes, I know where they are. Follow me! R7 started to roll down a snowy path dotted with trees. R8 and R7 strolled side by side while Rodi and I walked together. "So do you think the others know that the Deathwatch are here?" Rodi asked.

"I don't think so; otherwise they would be looking for us." I replied fingering my lekku. That was becoming a nervous habit for me. "And I'm starting to think that Dooku allying with Deathwatch was just a rumor."

"I was starting to think that, too. And in that case, we better find them before Deathwatch does." Rodi said. I knew she was right; I just didn't want to face the truth. If possible, I would like to stay out of the Deathwatch's sights. I saw two silhouettes in the distance. Rodi and I started to run.

"Master? What are you doing here? I thought you were going North." Riyo said.

"Well, we were. But we kind of ran into Deathwatch." I said.

"What? You ran into Deathwatch?" Layda asked.

"Well, we didn't actually run into them. But we saw them." Rodi explained. "And Ahsoka's boyfriend is being held hostage by them so she wants us to help rescue him."

"Master, you have a boyfriend?" Riyo asked. I never realized how much she looked like her Mother until now.

"He's not my boyfriend!" I yelled.

"Then what's going on?" Asked Layda.

I told them everything I told Rodi, even about the kiss. But right after I told them about that Riyo interrupted me. "Whoa, whoa, whoa wait." Riyo said, she sounded pretty shocked. "You've kissed a boy?"

"You are so lucky, Ahsoka!" Layda said.

Riyo glared at her. "I mean, uh, how dare you? Bad Ahsoka!" Layda scolded.

I groaned, "He kissed me! And it was against my will!"

"Fine." Riyo said. She was trying to sound angry but I could tell she was a little jealous.

Layda rolled her eyes. "Keep going."

I finished my story when I was done they didn't seem as shocked as I thought they would be. I guess that was a good thing, I wouldn't have to explain everything to them. "Wait," Layda said. "So she nicknamed you "Skinny?"

I groaned. "Yes, she nicknamed me "Skinny." Any other questions?" I asked crossing my arms.

"And you want us to help you rescue Lux?" Asked Riyo.

"Yes, I would greatly appreciate it." I replied.

"Well I'm in." Layda said with a smile. "Riyo?" She asked turning towards her.

I could tell that Riyo was thinking about it. Finally she sighed, "Okay, I'll help."

"Thank you both!" I said.

"So, what now?" Asked Layda.

I turned back to R7, "Arseven, use your scanners to find R2 and R6. We're going to find Yoli and Hazel next."

R7 performed the same procedure again. This time he rolled off into the West.

We walked in silence for about four miles until I saw the light orange of Yoli's parka.

"What are you guys doing here?" Asked Hazel.

"Looking for you." Rodi replied.

"Well duh." Yoli replied, "Why are you looking for us then."

"Oh yeah, they had a little run in with Deathwatch." Layda said in a casual tone of voice.

"What? You ran into Deathwatch?" Yoli asked. "Are you okay?"

"What? Yes, we're fine. We didn't actually engage them. We just saw them." I explained.

"So the Deathwatch are here." Hazel said cracking her knuckles.

"Um, Hazel? You okay?" Asked Riyo.

"Hey, the Deathwatch are Mandalorian Terrorists. . ." I interrupted her.

"That's what I told Lux!" I exclaimed.

Hazel continued, "I'm from Mandalore, they're going down! Wait a minute, who's Lux?"

Hazel and Yoli looked at me expectantly. I told them everything I had told Riyo, Layda, and Rodi. Luckily they didn't interrupt me like Riyo did. The kiss thing actually didn't faze them at all, and I guess that was a good thing. When I finished filling them in they didn't speak for about two minutes.

"So wait," Yoli began. "She nicknamed you "Skinny?"

"Yes she nicknamed me "Skinny!" I practically yelled. "Why must everybody ask that question?"

"Okay, okay sorry." Yoli said. "Well, I'll help. Anything for a friend."

I smiled. "Thanks, Yoli." I said. "How about you, Hazel?"

"Sure, as long as I get to kill some Deathwatch scum." Hazel said this evilly, but it didn't surprise me that much.

"You've got a deal Hazel." Rodi answered with a smirk.

I turned back to R7, "Arseven, you know what to do. Find R4 and R9."

After he located Sayda and Padmé, he sped of to the South. The rest of the droids followed him and we had to run to keep up. After a few minutes we saw two dark figures in the distance. "Ahsoka? Layda? What are you guys doing here?" Sayda asked.

"We ran into Deathwatch and we had to find you before they did." Rodi said.

"Are you guys okay?" Asked Padmé with concern.

"Yes, we're fine we didn't actually fight them." I said.

"Oh, good." Sayda breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahsoka has something she would like to explain to you two." Hazel said.

"I was getting to that, Hazel." I hissed.

"Sorry." She replied sarcastically.

I began my explanation of everything I had told the others. But Padmé did what Riyo did and interrupted me after I said Lux kissed me. "Really, Ahsoka? Oh my God that's so romantic!" She squealed.

"It was against my will Padmé." I said. "And it wasn't romantic." I was doing my best to act like I wasn't in love with Lux. Lucky for me; it seemed to be working pretty well.

"Sorry." Padmé apologized. "Please continue your story."

I finished telling them the story and when I was done Sayda spoke up. "Wait, so she. . ."

I stopped her. "Yes she nicknamed me "Skinny!" Why did you all have to ask that?" I said frustrated.

"Okay, calm down Soka. I'm sorry I brought it up." Sayda said, taking a step back.

"So will you help me rescue Lux?" I asked sounding a bit desperate.

"Of course I will, I'm always ready for a fight." Sayda said crossing her arms and smiling.

"I'll help too!" Padmé said enthusiastically. "Anything for true love."

I groaned and rolled me eyes. I was fighting the urge to knock her into the next galaxy over.

"So where is their camp?" Asked Hazel.

"We can take you there." Said a raspy voice behind us.

Our droids all beeped nervously. We whirled around to see to males, both Deathwatch terrorists.

"You had to ask?" We all asked in unison.

Yay! It's finally up! And it's a cliffhanger! Thank you so much for you support! It means everything to me! And after I finish this story and my other story Accidents, I will be creating a new story. I can't tell you much about it, but I can tell you this:

It will be called, United We Stand, Divided We Fall. You could categorize it as a Luxsoka fic because it will have Lux in it and some chemistry in between him and Ahsoka. If you have read about all my OC's recently on my profile, you will notice that I have created two new OC's, Anjali Navarro and Taio Jaleell, for the story. If you haven't read about them yet, please do! And I have not yet made any stories with the Sith Lords yet (Also on my profile), so I have decided to include three of them in the story. Gwendolian and Alaya will be featured in it, I am still trying to decide the other one. It will have three neutral characters (Lux, Anjali, and Taio). And it will have three of The Jedi Knights included in it (Ahsoka obviously being one of them). I am still awaiting the results of my poll before I decide the other two, SO PLEASE VOTE FOR TWO OF THE PEOPLE ON MY POLL! I DESPERATELY NEED YOU GUYS TO VOTE ON MY POLL! And it will also feature three of the boys (Also on profile) in it. Santori will be one of them; I am awaiting the results of my poll to pick the other two, so pretty please with a cherry on top vote on my poll!

I cannot express how happy and thankful I am to you guys for sticking with this story and not giving up on me. It means the world to me. Thank you to everybody that reviewed and didn't give up on me! I will have the next chapter up as soon as I can! Please vote on my poll! Read and Respond!
