Thank you all for your reviews! They mean a lot to me.
Ahsoka frowned. "You found Fru?" She asked. Dri nodded.
"Yes, with this." She handed her a recording chip. Ahsoka listened to it.
"To Sweet Revenge. Urgent: You are needed on Kashyyyk imeditely." That was it.
Ahsoka frowned. "Kashyyyk? Why would he be there?" She wondered out loud.
"Why does it matter? Lets go get him!" Rex said.
She stopped him. "Rex, you need to stay here." Rex shook his head.
"No, I don't. You can't handle it." Ahsoka's eyes flamed.
"Rex, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I can handle my self. I'm twenty something years old!" She said, flinging her arms up. "I've fought blasted klankers, the hairless harpy and even my own master!I can handle my self!"
'Soka giggled. Ahsoka smiled down at her.
"Besides, you need to take care of the home base." Ahsoka said in a whisper. Rex's shoulders slumped in defeat.
"Alright." Ahsoka nodded. She kissed 'Soka's cheek. "Bye 'Soka." She hugged Dri and slapped Rex's shoulder.
"Be safe." Dri said.
"And may the force be with you." Little 'Soka smiled.
"Thank you." Ahsoka whispered. Then she left the house to go to her ship.
Ahsoka watched as the stars zoomed past her. She stared ahead as if it were the only thing keeping her alive. She found the stars to be mesmerizing. It was easy to get lost in the stars. Easy to forget. Easy to...anything. Ahsoka sighed. She wished she could get lost forever. But it ended when her ship reached it's destanation.
"Maybe...Maybe I could just sit in the ship forever, staring at the stars as they go past. It would be easier." She mused. Dash dying, this was all blasted Anakin's fault! If only he hadn't tried to save Padme...it was her fault to! She probably seduced Anakin to the dark side...Ahsoka stopped. What was she thinking? Padme had been her friend...Anakin had been her master! Ahsoka shook her head as if that would rid the thoughts from her mind. She sighed and closed her eyes; wanting, needing sleep.
Ahsoka opened one eye. She was almost at Kashyyyk. She stretched her hands and arms, then watched as the stars slowed down and then there was Kashyyyk. Almost imedietly someone commed her ship.
"Unidentified ship: State who you are and your business." Ahsoka smirked. This would be easy.
"This is Damari Anaka on the Sweet Revenge. I got a message from the planet from an old friend. I was going to go visit them." There was a pause, then some static.
"Alright. But make sure to register when you land and before you leave the system."
"Will do." Ahsoka said. "Sweet Revenge out." She turned the comm off, then landed the ship.
Ahsoka looked around Kashyyyk. The tall trees held houses of sorts where the Wookiees lived. The Wookiees were be taken as slaves by the Empire and some of them were lucky enough to stay on their home planet. Ahsoka had freed many Wookiees in the past. They had always gone back to Kashyyyk to try to free their families and friends...Ahsoka had to admit they were very brave. She looked around once more, wondering where Fru was. She decided it would be best to go 'register' so that she wouldn't get in trouble with the Impirals.
A/N: The next chapter should be expected next Sunday. It might be posted before. I'll try to get it done before, but my life is so busy right now and the blasted writers block. Thanks! MLV.
