It was Ezra's bedtime, and Kanan knew what that meant…another story about Caleb Dume. Most kids always had a favorite character they looked up to, and for Ezra that character was Caleb. He was even getting better at saying Caleb' name…much to Kanan's dismay. While the name "Papa" made Kanan feel uneasy, the name "Caleb" made Kanan feel ashamed. As Caleb he couldn't protect anyone, and as Papa, he could barely provide for Ezra.

"Ca…leb…" Ezra said as Kanan placed him in his crib.

Kanan smiled and nodded his head. "Alright, alright." Kanan sat down on his bed and began the story. "Now, as everyone in the temple knew, Caleb was a very very curious kid. He always asked questions, and he always wanted to know a little more about any given subject. Sometimes, the other kids would laugh at him." Kanan winced at the memory of the other students, and the masters who stared at his constant questions.

Kanan sighed and continued, "Anyway, one afternoon, after Caleb's lessons were over-"

"Cal…eb…" Ezra said, as he raised his hands towards the sky. Ezra had taken to interrupting the story now, smiling and giggling whenever Caleb's name was said.

"Yes yes," Kanan said, trying to quiet him down, "So Caleb's lesson was on a particular device that could transmit messages across the galaxy. Sometimes to other Jedi, other times not. And naturally, Caleb was right there asking questions, raising his hands and wondering how the entire thing worked. Master Obi-Wan was patient and answered as many questions as he could, but when the lesson was over, Caleb was still hungry for knowledge."

Oh yeah, Kanan knew that day well. Master Obi-Wan had even brought the device in as a little show-and –tell for the kids. The thing was massive, it glowed and it beeped, and it had a million buttons on it. Kanan knew he shouldn't have asked so many questions that day, but he couldn't stop himself. He needed to know more.

"When the class was dismissed," Kanan began again, "Caleb stayed behind and tried to get a little more info on that device. All the students and masters were gone, and Caleb thought, well," Kanan took a deep breath and continued, "H-he thought it might be a good idea to examine the device to get a little more information on it."

And that's what happened. He felt the cold steel of the device, tapped on its sides, and ran his hands over the buttons.

"And by accident…Caleb kind of…activated the thing."

Ezra's little smile grew wide. "Cal…eb," Ezra said.

With the device activated, a beacon went all throughout the galaxy, and Jedi everywhere heard it. Caleb didn't really know what he did, but he would soon learn that small little mistake would have larger consequences.

"Hey, Caleb," one of the students asked. "Didn't you hear the news?"

Caleb just shrugged as he made his way down the hall.

"There's been a huge emergency and all of the Jedi masters are in some kind of a meeting."

Caleb stopped, "What do you mean?"

The other student shrugged, "I don't know, but it must be something big. None of them would talk to us about it."

Something big? But…what? There hasn't been any threats since…ever. And what could be so bad to make all of the masters so nervous?

Kanan rubbed his fingers against his temples and sighed…and this was the part of the story that made Caleb famous throughout the whole temple. Apparently, someone had activated the device and sent out a distress signal. It pretty much made all of the Temple jump and scramble, and once they found out the mistake, the main focus was finding out who activated the device…and why.

Oh no.

For the rest of the day, Caleb did his best to stay out of sight. He hid in his room, out in the fields, and anytime he saw the brown cloak of a master…he dove into the nearest hallway and hoped no one saw him, and it worked.

"Caleb Dume, I must have words with you." Until Master Billaba found him.

She led him down the hall, and into her private chambers. She sat him down and stared at him…she was less than enthused.

"Yes Master," Caleb asked, hoping she wasn't asking about what he thought she was asking about.

She glared, and Caleb shrunk away.

"Why?" she asked.

"I-I was curious," Caleb said. There really wasn't anything else to it. He just wanted a closer look, he didn't mean to throw the whole temple into chaos. That seemed to be what Caleb was getting famous for.

"You will address the masters, and the students about your mistake," Master Billaba said.

And he did, it was one of the most mortifying things Kanan had ever had to do. The other students wouldn't stop teasing him, and Master Billaba became his designated babysitter for three weeks. He wasn't allowed to leave his side.

Kanan rolled his eyes and glanced down at Ezra, the kid was already asleep. He probably didn't even hear the end of the story. Which…might have been for the best. Kanan leaned down and kissed Ezra on the cheek.

"Good night kid."
