Daniel sighed as his boot was stuck in mud yet again. as they had walked through the jungle he'd managed to get his boot stuck in the mud at least 4 times. He pulled and listened to the squelching sounds as his boot popped free.

"Got stuck in the mud again?" Ahsoka looked back at him.

"I can't jump the twenty feet over it like some people."He said. Whenever they had encountered an obstacle Ahsoka had used her Jedi abilities to pass over it with ease. Daniel used his free running skills to go past the obstacle, but apparently mud was his weakpoint.

"It's called skill." She smirked.

"It's called you can use the force, and I can't." he walked past the mud, and they continued forward. They had covered almost the entire island, and now they were ascending towards the top of a large hill on the west side of the island. to get there, however, they had to go through thick jungle, and a marsh. They just passed the marsh, and the jungle was beginning to thin out.

"True..." She said, and looked away from him. Something she'd noticed in the short time she was around him that he was oddly strong in the force. He couldn't control it, but the potential was definetly there. She wanted to talk to obi-wan about it more, but if they were going to be dealing with Darion, he might need to be trained.

"Ahsoka?" He got her attention.

"Oh. uh, yes?" She replied coming back to reality.

"What's it like being a Jadi?" he asked her as he walked past branches "What's it like to not be able to ever get attached to anyone. And how do you not get attached when you're charged with being the kind protectors of an entire galaxy?"

"oh." She had pondered the exact same question over and over again "Well. I've never had to explain it. You're supposed to be kind, but always keep your distance from emotions because they can lead to the dark side."

"That's ridiculous." He held a branch out of the way for her "Emotions aren't a bad thing they are amazing. they open up all the possibilities of the world. without emotions we wouldn't be who we are. we'd just be a ton of mindless drones."

"But with emotions come the s anger and hate." She continued walking "Can we drop the matter please."

"Sheesh." Daniel rolled his eyes "Didn't mean to rile you up, so much."

"...Sorry" Ahsoka said looking back at him "it's just something i don't feel comfortable talking about."

"Oh." Daniel pulled himself over a log "Why don't yopu feel comfortable talking about emotions."

"cause..." She looked away fromhim for a second "I'm kind of sad about the fact that I'll never get to be in love."

"What?" Daniel chuckled.

"It's not funny." She looked at him strenly.

"i'm not saying it's funny." He walked along "Hey don't worry can't you just choose to leave the Jedi order if you want to?"

"Yes." She said

"See..." he passed her and pulled a branch out of the way for her "if you're ever in love, and want to have a relationship then you can just leave."

"it's not that simple." She walked by the branch and he released it following her "You don't meet many people who arn't insane in my line of work."

"Hey you're attractive. " He ducked under a vine "I'm sure every non-Jedi in the universe is crawling all over you."

"You- you think i'm attractive." She stopped, and looked back at him.

"Well... uh yea." He blushed "you're very. very uh... oh look we're almost at the top of the hill. race ya." he started off. she watched him, and smiled widly, and then with a burst of Jedi speed ran past him.

"Oh. no fair." He yelled after her.

"Ha ha." She yelled back. She continued to run, and in moments she would beat him to the top. Then suddenly Daniel flew pasther. his hands clenched onto a fine he smiled as he past, and leapt on to the next fine swing faster, and faster.

Within moments he was at the hill top, and with a leap , and a roll he landed silently. He smiled as he stretched, and the he looked over the edge of the hill, and gasped. he wobbled slightly, and gained his balanced.

He looked down. The hill ended in a cliff. he gazed at the tumulous waters below, and the sharp jagged rocks which sprang from them, and he backed up.

Ahsoka came running up ,and gasped as she too hit the edge of the cliff. She wobbled as well, and nearly fell, but suddenly a hand wrapped around her waist, and pulled her back.

Daniel oomphed as she landed roughly on top of him, and he held onto her waist for a moment before he released her, and laid back against the grass.

"Oh man." He mumbled as he put his hands on his face covering his eyes "That was a close one."

"Wow." Ahsoka laid back next to him. they were shoulder to shoulder.

"That's at least a two hundred feet drop." He rolled over, and looked down the cliff one more time. He whistled, and listened to it echo.

"Thanks for the catch." She said as she started to stand up, but she was quickly pulled down again by Daniel "ow. what gives."

"Quiet." He told her, and he pointed. She followed his finger, and on an island less than half a mile away saw it.

daniel. looked down, and shook his head. he knew exactly where they were. Below him were at least ten Allied navy ships, and the island was a base of operations. they were in the south pacific in the 1940's they were in world war II.

Oh my what a chapter. Props to Alienvspredator5 for correctly guessing there time period. So what events will arise from this discovery tune in next time to find out. Please R&R.
