Ahh well this is akward...I'm sorry! I had writers block and then I started other stories and well...I kinda-sorta-maybe-forgot about this so Thank you for reminding me to get off my butt and do something about it. It's short but then again all of them are short! And well...I threw this together after I realized how long it had been so NO COMPLAINING Understand? Good! Again just to recap: I'm sorry-don't kill me-and here's the chapter!
ForceFail ch 11 Ahsoka and the Master
Ahsoka was board, the master was sitting around fiddling with something awkwardly trying to cover for the fact that he had no idea what to do with a normal padawan...Okay I take it back a normal-ish padawan, more specifically a padawan too young to be a padawan and was not going to want to do much except lightsaber sparing, force training, hand-to-hand combat, basically fighting, and his padawan was too distracted to do basic fighting. The only other thing especially young padawans tended to like were missions, dangerous suicide missions. Well perhaps this was going to be the quietest two weeks she would ever see, being Anakin's padawan and all she was actually allowed to go on those...
"So, um," Ahsoka coughed dryly "are we going to you know, do anything?"
"Oh, yes, right." The master tapped a finger on the table thinking of something to do.
"I'm so bored!" She groaned. Standing up and beginning to pace.
"Um…okay how about lightsaber training? How far are you with-"
She cut him off excitedly listing off several forms of lightsaber combat that she knew, great goodness was Skywalker training her to be a one-Jedi army? Oh, well he might be. Who really knew? "I've also had some quarterstaff training." She finished. The master raised an eyebrow at the last one.
"For, you know defense." She gave an awkward shrug. Then the master remembered Skywalker often had encounters with Asajj Ventress, so then it would make sense to give his padawan quarterstaff training 'for defense' as she put it.
"…That's…" the master paused "…very impressive, Ahsoka!" the master exclaimed, crap looks like her master covered lightsabers…more so than should be necessary, but they were fighting a war. May the Force forbid she have to use all of that combat training. She smiled flashing sharp Togrutan teeth.
"Plus hand to hand combat."
"Okay then, something else other then combat training?" The Master rubbed his temples trying to think of something. Eventually he did think of something. Basically he ran Ahsoka through the normal exercises, but felt odd when she preformed each task perfectly-or near-perfect anyway. Like something was off. She was very good at combat and already had great control over the Force, but part of him-surprisingly-missed his padawan. He couldn't believe himself, how could he miss his little screw-up? At the end of the day she gave him a cheeky grin.
"Ha I wonder what my master's doing right now." She laughed. The Master stared ahead blankly for a moment inwardly groaning, but hiding it well. Another thing about Skywalker's padawan apart from her insane skill with a lightsaber-considering her age-was her attitude. Several times she had gotten slightly on his nerves, but he tried to tell himself it was nothing compared to his normal padawan. Then he would end missing his padawan or wondering what he was doing, despite himself. He glanced at Ahsoka. Her master was certainly missing her; if he could miss his little screw-up failure of a padawan Skywalker could miss her little quirks too probably.

"Learned you lesson did you? All of you." Yoda said eyeing Ahsoka and the padawan standing behind their masters.
"Yes, Master Yoda." They all replied in unison.
"Good. Leave you may."
Anakin smiled at Ahsoka. "I missed you, Snips." Snips? The master thought, whatever it's not my business to react to Skywalker's weirdness or whatever.
"I missed you too, Master," Ahsoka replied. She lowered her voice but the master still caught what she said. "That guy was so boring!" He wouldn't miss her attitude that was for sure.
"I missed you." The master said to his padawan. His padawan smiled broadly in the moment. The thing was he really had missed his padawan, despite everything, despite all the failures, and his inability to listen or learn anything.
"Well, Master I have to say," His padawan was smiling brightly at his master. "I didn't."
The Master's happy mood broke. "Why you ungrateful little" the master then cursed eloquently at the padawan Anakin quickly shooed Ahsoka down the hall away from the enraged Master.
"And I thought you had fits Skyguy." She muttered to Anakin. They're weird, both of them are acting like children what the **** is with the nicknames? Some part of the Master thought, while the other cursed at the padawan.
He finished and stood breathing heavily. "Just like old times, huh Master?" The padawan laughed after he was finished.
The Master facepalmed.
