Hello again my sweets here is the new installment of Life's Light. Sorry it is late I got caught up in future chapters and added so much more to this exciting story. Which I should let you guys know that I average about three to four chapter ahead that way if I need to change something I can so it doesn't get caught up in the uploads which would just be awkward for everyone.

But a little recap Anakin has become our little worried protective older brother that is a little weird around girls, well getting their clothes at least. Cody has walked himself into embaressment literally and we get a peak at Force light.

To quell any questions I will have more Script later and Gregor will come by later and we will have more adventures

No onto adventure!

Enjoy :)

Chapter 9

Amira's POV

After Master Kenobi and Anakin I had a feeling that the meeting was about me. I whimpered a bit and moved my feet from underneath me and brought my knees to my chest.

"What's wrong Amira?" Ahsoka asked as she stretched her legs.

"I have a feeling that the meeting is not about the war." I whimper slightly and look at the ground over my knees.

"What would make you say that?"

"Well on Geonosis I somehow healed Master Mundi using the Force and I found you guys under the factory rubble before passing out."

"You healed Master Mundi. I thought only experienced Healers could use the raw Force to heal others. From what I heard that even takes skill and years to master." Ahsoka exclaimed.

I curled up even more after she said that and I started to feel tears sting my eyes. I curled up even tighter and dipped my head to my knees.

"Wait Amira I didn't mean it like that I am so sorry please don't cry." Ahsoka said and got off of her chair and came over to mine and hugged me. "I didn't mean like that I was just surprised that's all."

I peer up from my knees and look past my bangs that fell down in front on my eyes. Ahsoka let me go and smiled at me. I could feel her sympathy and kindness radiating off of her and knew that she was genuine. I smiled back and let go of my knees and let my feet sink down to the floor.

"Hey I have an idea Amira, why don't we go see what Rex and the others are doing. They'll be happy to see you and maybe we can scare them a little, it's my turn to get back at them for last time." She said mischievously and got a matching glint in her eye.

"What did they do the last time?"

"They put fake worms on my bed before I went to bed. Let's just say that I need a little pay back."

And with that she grabbed my hand and we were out the door in a blink of an eye.

Half an hour later in the Rec room

I walked into the Rec room with Ahsoka carrying two balloons filled with bright pink paint behind my back. Our targets were Fives, Echo, and Hardcase, and from the looks of the bucket of ice water she had for Fives I made sure to take note to not prank Ahsoka ever. Said person was sitting in a chair with his back to us laughing about something that Jesse said. Denal and Kix spotted us but kept quiet when they saw the bucket in Ahsoka's hands. Ahsoka stood behind Fives and raised the bucket with an evil grin and proceeded to dump the icy contents all over Fives. He jumped up and yelped at the sharp cold that came down on his head and that got down his suit.

"What the kriffing hell Ahsoka what was that for. Kriff that shit is cold." Fives yelled as he started jumping around to warm up the liquid.

"Language Fives or did you forget that Amira was in the room." Coric said and shot Fives a glare that was probably colder than the water.

"Let's see how you like it if an ice cold bucket of water is dumped on you and some got down you suit." Fives shot back as he started to shiver a bit. Ahsoka was laughing so much that she was bent over clutching her stomach. I looked around and saw Echo and Hardcase almost falling out of their chairs laughing as well.

"Hardcase, Echo look up." I say and take one of my hands from behind my back. Both straightened while laughing giving me enough of a target area to get their chests. I got Echo first and aimed for the other side of his chest away from the hand print and then in quick succession threw the other balloon and got Hardcase right on the abdomen. Both were so shocked that they stopped laughing and looked at each other and then me in shock. Everyone around them started laughing twice as hard and forgot about Fives for about five seconds.

"Commander Ballista, did you just paint Hardcase and Echo?" Jesse questioned in between his fits of laughter. I started to blush and hid behind my bangs and started backing away.

"It's not a bad thing Commander I'm just surprised that you even got into pranks, unless Ahsoka roped you into helping you."

"How could you say such a thing Jesse I am hurt you would say such a thing." Ahsoka feinted hurt and moved to sit on the unoccupied couch to her right.

"I agree with Jesse you roped Amira into this Ahsoka, I am calling your banthashit on this." Kix agreed and got up from his chair and walked over to me. "You're not in trouble Amira, take a seat we don't bite."

I nodded and shuffled over and sat down next to Ahsoka quietly. By this time Fives had dried off most of the water but some was still in his suit by the look of him walking around uncomfortably and moving his shoulders constantly.

"That was not cool Ahsoka." He said and shot her another glare.

"You're right Fives, it was ice cold." Ahsoka joked which caused everyone to groan at how bad the joke, including myself. Someone threw Echo and Hardcase a towel to get most of the paint was on their chests and abdomen. Once he was done Echo then walked over and sat down next to me, cutting off Hardcase who was about to do the same.

"So Commander Ballista are you feeling any better?" Echo asked as he threw his towel at Fives, getting a little bit of the pink paint that was still wet on his face. Fives sent a death glare and used a clean part of it to wipe the paint off.

"Better, Script is still miffed that I left right after I woke up. I am pretty sure that he is going to drag me back to the medbay the next chance he gets." I say and stare down at my hands, feeling all of their eyes on me was a little unnerving.

"Script is hunting you down, well, you can hide with us anytime to get away from him. Fives said and walked around the couch and lightly padded my shoulder with his hand.

"I don't mind him, he's actually really nice."

The whole room tensed and then Kix and Coric started laughing from their spots across from me on the other couch.

"Script being nice, that is a hoot. I mean you just got here so I am guessing that is why he would be nice but just wait until your third battle or when you get really hurt then you will really see Script." Kix said after he calmed down from laughing fit. I frown at what he said, Script was just took his job seriously and mad sure everyone was patched up and wasn't dying.

"Script isn't the most liked medic but he is one of the best and he has saved our asses a few times. I heard that he had to kick out General Kenobi and General Skywalker from sitting in there with you for too long." Coric said and looked over at me intently.

"That's what he said when I woke up."

"I believe it especially after your first little adventure I would be too, scratch that, I will be watching you like a hawk. You are a piece of work Amira and if you're anything like the Generals and Ahsoka here then I definitely have my work cut out for me." Kix agreed and turned his head and raised an eyebrow towards me. I shrunk down in my couch a bit and was about head level with Ahsoka now.

"Come on guys you're making the little angel feel bad." Fives said and leaned on the back of the couch and right above my head. I looked up at him in confusion as did everyone else.

"Little angel?" I asked.

"Yeah I heard General Skywalker call you that and it fits." Fives said and gave me a flirtatious smile. At this point I feel my face explode in red and I sink lower in the couch and hide my face with my hair and hands.

"Fives stop flirting with the Commander." Hardcase snapped and stood up from his seat on the edge of the couch on the other side of Echo and almost squared up to Fives if Rex hadn't walked in.

"Well I see everyone is enjoying themselves and having a great time chatting. But I am here to burst your bubble, everyone, except Commander Ballista, to the training room we're running drills before dinner." I hear Rex called out which cut through all the tension in the room that Hardcase and Fives built up. I turn to look back at him and see that Cody was with him. I heard a collective groan from everyone as they stood up and started walking out the exit, even Ahsoka didn't look all that keen to be running drills with them. I flash her a sympathetic smile and she got up and walked out. I stood up and walk around the couch and towards Rex and Cody.

"And where will I be going off to?"

"You will be going to Cody to the bridge to meet up with General Kenobi." Rex said casually and tilted his head toward Cody. He then turned and headed out and gave Cody a smug smirk and wink.

I wonder what that was about.

I look back at Cody and flash him a smile and started walking towards the exit. A few minutes into our walk and the air was filled with an awkward silence and got bigger by the minute.

"Listen about this morning I didn't mean to walk in on you I didn't think about the curtain and when I did it was too late." Cody rushed and looked down at his boots and his cheeks started heating up.

"I am not mad about this morning Cody," I start and looked up at Cody, "Just don't do it again."

Cody nodded quickly and looked straight ahead and tried to focus on something other than me, I swear I could see him blushing. I chuckle silently and focus my attention to front of me as well as we approached the bridge. When I walked in Master Kenobi and Anakin were talking and gesturing to a hologram of a system that I didn't recognized.

"You wanted to see me Master." I say quietly and stop at his side. Master Kenobi smiled and ended his conversation with Anakin and turned to me.

"Yes, I have been summoned to Mandalore and I would like to introduce you to someone very special. We will be leaving in a few hours and I would like you to pack a small bag and meet me down in the hangar." Master Kenobi said without the smile leaving his face. We both walked out of the bridge rather quickly, I managed to turn around and give a quick wave to Anakin and Cody before the doors closed behind us.

"Mandalore is a neutral planet Master Kenobi who lives on that planet?" I ask curiously as we walked down the hall and get in the lift to the floor my room is on. I step off and look back at Master Kenobi.

"A very dear friend of mine Amira. Duchess Satine."

Obi-Wan's POV

I couldn't stop smiling when the Council said that I was given a week's leave. After a debate about Amira's new talent they agreed that a week away from the war to allow me to asses her powers and give the Council a report would be the best course of action without having her go back the Temple and stay locked up. On the other hand I could finally go and see Satine and get away from the war. So I told Amira to come so she could have a little break from the battle field and maybe sit in on some Senate meetings on Mandalore. From the brief time that she was in the field I could tell that she wanted to be back in the political arena for just a brief time. I also hope to have pleasant introductions for Amira and Satine, the last time it did not go well with Anakin and I do not wish to mess up this time.

"Master, I'm ready when you are." I hear Amira say softly. I snap out of my thoughts and nod and walk into the small transport and move to take off. Once we were out of the cruiser I put in the coordinates and jump to hyperspace. A few minutes into hyperspace Amira broke the silence.

"Pardon me for asking Master, but is Duchess Satine your wife?" Amira asked as she turned to me in her seat as co-pilot.

"Yes she is, we met years ago when I was a Padawan and married when I took Anakin on as a Padawan." I start and almost flint off into distant memories.

"Master Tauris has spoken of her many times in our travels on diplomatic missions. I never got to meet her personally but he often spoke fond of her and said that she could move an entire planet to peace with one of her speeches." Amira said and got a sparkle of admiration in her eye.

I chuckled and prepared the ship to come out of hyperspace and to enter the atmosphere.

Well at least I have one Padawan that is excited to meet Satine.

When we landed on an outer city platform we were met with two palace guards and a transport. We strode briskly towards them and stepped onto the transport. In silence we shot off towards the palace and zipped by many buildings made of glass. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Amira staring in wonder at the new sights around her. I smiled at her child like curiosity and for a brief moment I saw her innocents that I felt in the Force. After the short ride we made it to the palace and were greeted by Prime Minister Almec.

"Master Kenobi it is good to see you again. The duchess has been eagerly awaiting for your arrival." He greeted warmly and shook my hand.

"As usual we shouldn't keep her waiting. But first I would like you to meet Amira Ballista, my Padawan." I say and side step for Amira to have a better view.

"A pleasure to meet you Prime Minister." She says politely and shakes his hand as well.

"As well as you Miss Ballista, I can show you to your room if you would like?" Almec offered as we walked into the grand hall of the palace.

Amira looked up at me and then looked back at Almec. "That sounds like a wonderful Prime Minister thank you for offering." They both walk off deeper into the palace towards the guest rooms. I continue on into the throne room where Satine was already waiting.

"I must be the luckiest man in the galaxy to have such a radiant looking wife that outshines the brightest of stars." I say to grab her attention.

"You are the same as the day you left Obi-wan, a flirt and a headstrong Jedi." Satine replies and jumps up from her throne and rushes to give me a hug. I hold her and take in her warmth that I haven't felt in so long. We part from our hug and share a sweet kiss before speaking again.

"The Council has given me a week off from the front lines. And I left as soon as I was told."

"This is wonderful Obi-wan, we can finally have some time together, the spring flowers are blooming and the memorial will be full of color." Satine breathes out as we go to walk in the small private garden.

"That sounds wonderful Satine. I also come with more news, I have been given a new Padawan her name is Amira Ballista. Her former Master, Master Tauris, was killed while they were on a mission a year ago."

"Oh my, I knew Master Tauris but not well enough to be close friends, when I heard of his death I was grief stricken. But his Padawan was there with him when he died, that sounds awful, truly terrible. Who would do such a thing?" Satine questioned and looked troubled by the news.

"We don't know yet, the Council has sent investigators to look for information but nothing has turned up yet. On top of that I have yet to even get to know Amira all that well. We had to go back to the campaign before we could even sit down and talk. Satine I feel like I am letting her down as her Master, she has spent more time in the medbay than I have talking with her and every time I see her in the field she is this scared child all alone." We stop at a bench and I sit down on the bench and bury my face into my hands. "There's more, she has this ability that she doesn't even understand herself and the Council wants me to watch her and see if she can even control it and if it is affecting her in anyway, I am starting to feel less of a Master to her and more of a keeper."

"It's going to be alright dear it's only been a few weeks and nothing you could've done would have changed any of that, you said it yourself the Force acts in ways only few understand and when it does act it turns out for the better in the end. I believe you said that to me when you proposed to me under the stars." Satine said as she rubbed my shoulders lovingly. I look up from my hands and smile at the memory of that night. Everything had been perfect and went according to plan, well, all except for the bounty hunters appearing out of nowhere and trying to kidnap Satine, but was the most romantic night none the less.

"You're right, it has been a crazy these past few weeks and this break would be a great opportunity to open up with Amira. I hope you don't mind Satine it has been so long and I want to spend it with you as well."

"I do not mind at all Obi-wan, creating bonds and settling confusion with a Padawan is always a first priority and I would also like to get to know Amira as well." Satine said with one of her radiant smiles. Her smiles always put me at ease and could chase away any bad thoughts. Hopefully this time I won't mess up introductions for a new Padawan.

Amira's POV

The palace was breathtaking. The beautiful paintings of the duchess and her predecessors gave the halls life, they filled the air with power and the sense of a regal past that each painting gave light to.

"This will be your quarters Miss Ballista, dinner will be in the main dining hall that I showed you earlier, it shall begin at sundown." Prime Minister Almec said as he opened the door for me. The room was full of light from the row of windows to my left that stretched from floor to ceiling, the rest was spacious with a small desk against the opposite wall from me and a large bed set under a beautiful painting of the city to the far right wall.

"Thank you Prime Minister, will I see you at dinner?"

"Unfortunately no, there are important matters with the Council of Neutral Systems that I must attend to that will keep me from joining you."

"I see well best of wishes with Council matters then Prime Minister." I say and bow my head slightly as he left and bowed his as well. When the door closed behind me I let out a small sigh and walked over to the bed and placed my bag beside it and sat down on the edge.

Well this has been a crazy few weeks that's for sure.

I lean back and let myself sink into the mattress with a deep sigh. There wasn't a lot of noise that filled the room besides the distant sounds of the city and the occasional muffled footfall on the carpet outside, besides that the room was peacefully silent.

It goes to show how much noise is on the Negotiator that you don't realize.

With that thought I move from my sunken position on the bed and grab my bag and head into the fresher to take a well-deserved shower before dinner. After my shower I get dressed in a beige sleeveless turtleneck and a white skirt that flowed just to my ankles, to finish it off I added a pair of black flats to give my feet a break from my boots. I then grab my brush from my bag and go to brush my hair, I also grab my towel and wipe away the steam that built up on the mirror above the sink. When I wiped it away I large black figure with blood red eyes stared at me from where it stood behind me. I let out a short scream and turn to see that the figure was gone with no trace of where it went. I place a hand over my heart to calm myself a little and then grab my brush and move out of the fresher and into the cooler main room. I dry out my hair with the towel and then run the brush through my hair. When my hair was barely damp I return the towel to the fresher and grab my bag. I had just managed to clip my lightsaber to the tan belt that I put on when a knock came at the door.

"Enter." I call in a light voice as I packed away my brush. Master Kenobi stepped through the door still wearing his usual robes.

"I take you are ready for dinner Amira?" he asked.

"Yes Master."

"Good Satine is anxious to meet you."

"We shouldn't keep her waiting then." And with that I walk over to Master Kenobi with a smile and follow him out of the room. Our walk began in silence but it soon ended when Master Kenobi spoke up.

"I never got to ask this before and I feel terrible for not asking it sooner, but how old are you exactly Amira?"

"I am 17 currently but I will be turning 18 next month."

Master Kenobi looked at me in shock and then studied me for a few minutes.

"I became a Padawan at a very young age when Master Cascan took me with him on a mission when I turned 12, I sent the next year learning the art of healing with Master Allie and then when I was 13 Master Tauris took me on as his Padawan." I explain as we reached the dining hall.

"Master Cascan took you on a mission that young, the Council must have been furious." Master Kenobi noted right when we entered. I was about to say something when I saw Duchess Satine sitting at the table sipping a drink. I straightened my shoulders and immediately went into a professional posture. I heard Master Kenobi chuckle a bit and then strode around the table and gave the Duchess a warm hug and a quick kiss.

"Amira I would like you to meet Satine Kryze, my wife." Master Kenobi said with a smile and waved me over. I walk around the table and politely bow my head.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Duchess."

"Please call me Satine, Obi-wan has talked highly of you Amira, it is so good to finally meet you." Satine and gave me a hug which I gladly returned.

After our short introduction we sat down for dinner. We talked about how they met and the times that they spent together, as well as the adventures they had when Master Kenobi as a Padawan. I laughed and enjoyed their company when the sudden realization hit me, this was the first time sense Master Tauris that I have truly felt relaxed and enjoyed myself. I felt a weight lift off my chest and a warm feeling that Master Tauris was happy that I finally found happiness.

I hope you are at peace Master Tauris.

Alright we finally see Satine and why I say this is AU besides different characters appearing out of canon order. I like the idea that JEdi should have connections and companions. This AU I have it as Jedi are allowed companions of any species and of any nature, married, dating you name it. If they want to make it official then they go through a whole journey that the elders of the temple give to you to strength your bonds in the Force. Very complicated and will most likely be explained later in other author side notes.

another note I love Obitine, I love it love it love it and honestly it should have been canon

'little angel' was a nickname I had floating in my head for her and I thought it would make a great addition to the story. Also Fives to me is a senseless flirt as is a majority of Torrent Company with the exceptions that are pretty obvious. Also I will make sure there will be an entire chapter for shenanigans of Fives, Hardcase, Echo, and others. Otherwise it wouldn't be a dull and anvil of feelings that leave us without our hearts.

Goodnight my sweets, until next time ;)

I don't own Star Wars or Star Wars The Clone Wars that belongs Disney and all of their people

Amira, Script, and all of the other OCs are mine
