POV: Sharli Ren
"Sharli, while we have no assigned mission, I would like to help me with my private investigation that I have been told I am not allowed to make."
"Sure master. What do you need?"
"Let me explain. After they stripped Barriss and Ahsoka of their ranks, they sent Ahsoka to Shili, as I told you, but they also banished Barriss. And I don't know where. Me and my wife have been attempting to learn, so that we can bring Barriss to Ahsoka. I also want to go to Shili and check on Ahsoka. I want to see how she's doing."
We walked to Master Skywalker's ship, and he paused.
"This is the Twilight. My personal ship. I got it on the very second mission me and Ahsoka went on together. She arrived during the battle of Christophsis, and after we captured the planet, we were immediately assigned a mission to rescue Jabba the Hutt's son. During the mission to rescue his son, we got this ship. We used it to escape the planet Teth with Rotta, the Huttlet. He was very sick and we were forced to fly all the way from Teth to Tatooine on the Twilight, after Separatist fighters destroyed our cruiser's landing bay."
We headed inside, and booted up the ship.
"As you can imagine, this ship holds a lot of memories for me. Good and bad. Mostly good, though. That's how it was when I was with Ahsoka."
"She meant a lot to you, didn't she?"
"Yes. She did. She was like a little sister."
"I'll do my best to be the same to you."
And I genuinely meant the words. While I didn't know my master very well, I liked him and I didn't like to see him hurting like that.
"Sharli, just be yourself unless a mission demands it. And please call me Anakin."
When we arrived at Shili, my head was spinning, for we had spent the entire trip talking about missions Anakin and Ahsoka had gone on. We landed and approached the camp.
"Halt!"
The guards aimed their spears at us.
"It's me. Anakin Skywalker."
"My apologies sir. Who is your companion?"
"This is my new Padawan, Sharli Ren. Can we pass?"
"Just keep an eye on her."
"I will. I forgot to mention, Ahsoka's the queen of Shili."
The guards let us pass and we entered the camp.
"Anakin!"
A young Togruta girl ran out, wrapping her tiny arms around Anakin's legs. She appeared too young to be Ahsoka.
"Hello, Asari! Where's your sister?"
The girl pointed.
"Thanks Asari. This is Sharli Ren, my new Padawan. Sharli, this is Asari Tano, Ahsoka's younger sister."
"It's nice to meet you," I said, shaking the girl's hand.
"My pleasure."
We headed for the tent, and Anakin walked confidently towards a Togruta who leaned over a table.
"Hello Ahsoka."
She whirled around.
"Anakin! It's good to see you again!"
"Ahsoka, this is my new Padawan, Sharli Ren. Sharli, this is Ahsoka Tano. My former Padawan."
"It's nice to meet you. Anakin's told me a lot about you."
"Oh, he has? Good things, I hope."
"Yes," I said, chuckling.
