Long chapter ahead... Because this is the second last chapter! :)

Ahsoka didn't speak for the whole time they walked back to the parked speeder. It was until they soared into night sky of Coruscant, she decided to bring up what she had been itching to say to Anakin the whole time through dessert and drinks.

' So,' She said nonchalantly. ' Isn't it good to see your wife after such a long time?'

' Yeah,' Anakin replied, too busy navigating the speeder and not noticing the real catch in Ahsoka's words even though she emphasised the word. ' I haven't seen her for a long time already, so it is good.'

Oh, Skyguy. Always not that observant.

She decided to stick to the game, ' Seriously, you should visit your wife more often. Give her a nice bouquet of flowers or some gift like how a husband should.'

' You know what, Snips, it is a nice idea, maybe I should someday- Aaaah!' There. Finally.

Ahsoka heaved a sigh, ' Yes. Your wife.'

' H-h-h-h-h-h-how do you know?' Anakin spluttered in shock, to the point that he completely forgot about his fancy flying routines.

Ahsoka humphed and crossed her arms over her chest, ' Huh! I am supposed to be the one asking questions, not you, excuse me. So-'

' Tell me how you knew first.'

' Fine. Just by observation, you know! Like, the way you look at each other, the way you call each other and you act like a weirdo next to her!' Ahsoka explained all at once. ' Plus, now I piece everything together, I can finally find an explanation for why you disappeared in some nights! Oh, the other time... I knew it! I knew there was something dodgy after that Cato Neimoidia mission with Padme and that Rush Clovis guy! Whenever I brought up that dude, you look like you want to kill someone. Is that enough?'

' Was it that obvious?' Anakin winced.

' YES. Now spill,' Ahsoka commanded. ' When did you guys get married?'

' Just before the Clone Wars started,' Anakin answered.

' Great. So you were already married when you first met me,' she harrumphed. ' So who knows about this, uh, entire marriage thing?'

' Not many people, I guess. A couple of Padme's most trusted handmaidens. Oh and R2 and C3PO, if you count them. They were the witnesses.'

' Great. R2 and 3PO were also involved.'

She must have sounded a bit angry (blame her very good acting skills) because Anakin panicked, ' You aren't angry with me, are you? Sorry, Snips, I can't tell anyone, or else-'

' Angry?' Ahsoka grinned toothily. ' Of course I am just fooling with you! That's wonderful news, in fact. You two are perfect for each other.'

' What? You are not angry?'

' Of course not, Anakin. I mean it.'

' Thanks. Um... Can you please try to keep it a secret? The Council or Obi-wan must not know that, because that is a serious breach in the Jedi code?'

' Of course I won't! Your secret is safe with me,' Ahsoka said. ' EYES ON THE ROAD!' She jabbed a button just in time for them to lurch away from a giant cargo ship.

That quote originally belonged to Obi-wan, for he would always scream 'EYES ON THE ROAD' in every five minutes. Ahsoka thought that she should probably adopt that quote.

' Huh. I didn't know that you are so good at observing people, Snips.'

' EYES ON THE ROAD!'

The very next morning, just after a quick breakfast with Kanan (who was still slightly annoyed), Ezra found young Caleb outside his quarters.

' Um, can I come in?' He said timidly.

' Sure,' Ezra said, quite surprised at the quiet attitude displayed by Caleb. ' Please come in.'

Kanan had retreated into the kitchen to wash the dishes by the time Ezra showed Caleb into the sitting room. Caleb clasped his hands and bowed his head, ' Ezra, I'm so sorry about yesterday. I was just trying to demonstrate the hyperbolic nature of the world of literature, and I didn't mean for you to get thrown against the wall.' Ezra automatically winced at his words, and his forehead tingled just a little bit.

' Don't worry about it, I'm okay! The clone medic gave me some really good ointment for my forehead, so it doesn't really hurt now,' Ezra waved him off lightly.

' Really? But Bigger-me said your head wound was quite serious,' Caleb said, flabbergasted.

' I'm fine! Really! I swear!' Ezra sighed.

' That's good, then. My Master is really worried too,' Caleb added. ' I can tell her that you are okay.'

' I hope Master Billaba isn't going too hard on you,' Ezra said anxiously. ' Did she punish you or say anything to you after Master Palmer told her about it?'

' Yeah, no lightsaber classes for two weeks,' Caleb said gloomily. ' That's a pretty bad punishment for me already. What am I going to do in these two weeks without lightsaber classes? Oh the horror.'

' It won't be too bad,' Ezra tried to say.

' My life will be boring!' Caleb waved his hands around to indicate his horror. ' What's the point in being a Jedi if you can't have lightsaber classes? By the way... I heard Older-me saying to my Master that you escaped into the vent system yesterday. I was wondering... If you could show me the way? I've always wanted to explore the Temple, but I don't know how to.'

' Sure!'

A week.

How swiftly a week passed by.

Ezra hadn't really thought about it until the night before their supposed-return-back-to-the-present-time. It saddened him. Just merely a couple more hours, and they would need to return back to the messed up Empire timeline.

The last few days had been the best few days in his life. He had a lot of fun with Kanan, young Caleb, Ahsoka, Anakin, Obi-wan and the 501st men. Most important of all, Kanan learnt not to blame the clones and even proceeded to have small, polite chats with Captain Rex. It wasn't much, but it was definitely one major step to improvement. Ezra also made sure Caleb knew how to navigate the vent systems.

Deciding to stop reminiscing and go to sleep, he plopped into his bed and closed his eyes. Suddenly, the same brilliant flash filled up the room, notifying Ezra of the Daughter's presence.

' Ezra Bridger,' the Force-wielder greeted.

' Daughter,' Ezra sat up. ' I know who you are now, but... Ahsoka told me she has met you before. You... were supposed to be dead.'

' I am not really dead, actually. My body, meaning my anchor to this mortal world may be gone, but I still exist within the Force. My powers and presence are not gone yet, but I can only appear as a ghostly apparition to Force-sensitives. Let's say, I am now what you Jedi call a Force ghost,' She explained lightly.

' Um okay... But... Why are you here?' Ezra added after a moment of awkward hesitation in order to sound more polite. ' My lady.'

' To give you the instructions of how to return to your original timeline. It is a fragile transfer, so you must be careful, or else you can lose yourself into the Force. I want you three to step outside and stand on the stairs of the Temple at 9 o' clock sharp. In a couple moments, I'll arrange for you to be transferred back into the future,' She said. ' You may realise that I have extended the time period, because I think you may want to say your goodbyes.'

He said uncertainly, ' Thank you, my Lady. But... Can I ask you a question?'

' Ask away, young one.'

' Will any of the people in this timeline remember this trip or us? Last time Kanan's younger self used the Force to fling me to the wall, but when I asked Kanan about it, he could only vaguely remember that he did accidentally fling someone to the wall, but couldn't remember exactly who it was,' Ezra asked.

The Daughter said, ' Ah, I see. As I have said, it is a fragile transfer. I know you didn't reveal anything by accident or do anything that would cause a massive ripple in the Force, but in order to prevent a butterfly effect, the Force will automatically try to restore the equilibrium. In order to achieve that, the Force will alter the involved people's memories.'

' Alter?' Ezra repeated in horror. ' But Kanan... He could still remember a little bit of it-'

' Not exactly. Those memories are not completely deleted, they still exist somewhere in the person's mind. But they are placed into hibernation by the Force, and it cannot be easily activated, not that it is impossible though. Sometimes, the person may have a nagging feeling inside their head, but they won't think much of it.'

' Oh, okay,' Ezra nodded in understanding.

' That's all I can do for you, Ezra,' Daughter said with an encouraging smile. ' But do not feel angry or sad about the past. The meaning of this entire thing is to remind you that hope is never lost and one day, you can achieve it.' Then, she disappeared.

The very next morning, they huddled right next to the exit of the Temple to say the final farewells.

' Going so soon?' Caleb asked, sounding a bit sad. ' I'll miss you a lot, Older-me! And I'll miss you a lot too, Ezra. But I will see you in the future, I guess.'

' I'll miss you a lot too,' Ezra shook Caleb's hand. ' And I wish you all the best!'

Kanan did the same too, ' Listen here, Younger-me. Remember to be more responsible and-'

' That's all!' Ezra pushed Kanan away, and gave him a glare that said stop being a spoilsport!

Depa Billaba, who was standing next to Caleb nodded at Ezra, ' I hope that you two can continue working together. You guys make an excellent team.'

On the other side of the area, Ahsoka was talking to Anakin and Obi-wan. Anakin was busily giving Ahsoka his final tips.

' Now, Snips, I don't know for sure what will happen in the future. But I hope you can take good care of yourself,' Anakin ran a hand through his already-very-messy hair. ' Maybe we can cross paths again, if we are lucky. Oh and final tips to note, remember not to sign up to be a Senator!'

' Anakin-'

' And also, stay away from that Lux Bonteri dude. He looks kind of dangerous.'

' Anakin!' Obi-wan gasped, exasperated. ' Ahsoka is a grown-up woman! You cannot limit who she can or cannot hang out with. It simply doesn't work that way.'

' Yeah,' Ahsoka smirked (though she was really sad on the inside). ' Master Kenobi, do me a favour. Please keep an eye on Skyguy. He is one big kid.'

' Of course,' Obi-wan stroked his beard importantly, and earned himself a glare from Anakin.

' It's almost time,' Ezra called from the other side.

As the Daughter had instructed, the three of them stepped into the sunlight on the staircases. ' May the Force be with you all,' Obi-wan said.

The sunlight grew brighter, and with a brilliant flash, Ezra found themselves falling on top of each other again, but this time, they landed in the Ghost mess hall.

The noise probably woke the entire crew up, because in just a couple seconds, Sabine bounded into the room, ' What in the world is going on in here?!' And then she saw them lying in a pile.

' Are you people playing stacking?' Zeb appeared behind Sabine, and asked incredulously.

' It's a long story,' Kanan mumbled from below, embarrassed.

Helloooooooooo! :D

YAAAAS! I can finally go to see Force Awakens this Friday! YAAAAY! What a perfect way to start the 2016 with a nice movie. :))))))
