Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars. The names of the planets are not created by me.

Author's Note: There will be no Rex/Ahsoka romance.

Evil Tree: I am not sure what Little 'Soka will think. You never know with an eight year old. yellow 14: Yes, that does seem the case. Not sure when things will look 0105: I'm afraid he is. anakinpadmekenobi: Yes, and I think that he would have rather died doing something right then not doing anything at all.


Ahsoka watched as Dri sat on her chair. She didn't shed any tears, only sat there. 'Soka watched her mom, unsure as to what had happened. Ahsoka wiped away a tear as she watched the young girl. 'Soka walked over to Ahsoka and laid her head on Ahsoka's lap.

"Aunty, will you tell me what happened?" 'Soka asked. Ahsoka nodded, picked the young girl up and walked outside. She set her down, then sat down across from her.

"Uncle Dex was taken by some bad men,"

"The Empire?" 'Soka interrupted. Ahsoka nodded.

"Yes, the Empire took him, and Uncle Dash and I went to go save him. We found Uncle Dex, but the only way for us to escape from the Empire, was if Uncle Dash-" Ahsoka stopped short. 'Soka put her hand on Ahsoka's arm.

"He died saving you." She finished. Ahsoka nodded.

"Yeah." She said, wiping away a tear. 'Soka wiped away another tear and squeezed Ahsoka's hand.

"Aunty Damari...why are you different?" 'Soka asked. Ahsoka paused and looked at her. Of course! Ahsoka wondered why the girl hadn't asked sooner.

"Because, 'Soka, You are a Coreillian, a human, and I am a Togrutian, a humanoid." 'Soka frowned.

"So...your not my aunt?" She asked slowly. Ahsoka shook her head.

"No physicaly, no. But, I am your aunt." 'Soka nodded.

"Okay." She said, happy with the result. She paused, then said, "Did Uncle Dash love you?" Ahsoka frowned.

"As a sister, yes. Or, more like a daughter." 'Soka nodded.

"I know. I wanted to make sure you did." And then she bounced away. Ahsoka watched her leave, wondering. How could such a little girl...? Ahsoka shook her head. She'd never know.


Ahsoka entered the house. Rex was laying on the couch.

"I'm gonna' take a nap." Ahsoka said, entering her room. Dash nodded.

"Sure."

Ahsoka closed the door, then sat on her sleep couch. She closed her eyes and was instantly asleep.


Ahsoka watched as the troopers pulled their blasters out. "Call back your people!" One of them yelled. The person they were talking to shook their head.

"Sorry, can't do that. They're not really the friendly type." It was Dash! The men watched as Ahsoka and Rex ran to the ship.

"Shook him if you must, but get those two!" Dash then reveled a bomb.

"Sorry guys, but those are my friends." He dropped it....

Ahsoka practicaly jumped out of bed. She landed on the side of her bed, then slipped off. Her face was covered in sweat, her breath came out in ragged plumes. She looked around. She was safe, on Coreillia. She got back onto her bed and tried to sleep again, hoping the dreams wouldn't plague her again.


Ahsoka got up and walked out to the kitchen. Everyone looked worried.

"What?" Ahsoka asked.

"We've found Fru." Was the answer.


A/N: Short chaper, I know, and I'm sorry. Hopefully the next will be longer. As I am still suffering from writers block, the next chapter might be late. MLV.
