Aaand a new drabble! This was requested by guest reviewer batman, who wanted a drabble about Anakin watching Ahsoka teach a group of younglings. This was literally one of the most emotional things for me to write, because I always wanted to get into Anakin's thoughts about Ahsoka growing up. :') Plus, one of the best things about Ahsoka is that as viewers and fans, we sort of grew up with her. At least, I know I did.

Gah - all these feels. I was listening to The Middle by Jimmy Eat World whilst writing this - by the way, it's the best song ever. It's impossible to not smile while listening to the lyrics. :')

Enjoy!

Plot – Anakin Skywalker is watching Ahsoka Tano teach a group of younglings. And he's proud. [Simple friendship, no pairings involved.]

xXx

"That's it – no, you'll need to adjust your grip – there you go!" Ahsoka Tano was saying when Anakin Skywalker strolled into one of the training rooms. He had been looking everywhere for Ahsoka and had only received word from Padawan Offee that she had been told that Ahsoka was going to help some younglings.

Anakin's first thought was, that's going to be a disaster.

But now, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the room hadn't been set on fire and that all of the younglings actually seemed to be rather interested in being taught by Ahsoka. They all looked up at her with a wide-eyed, innocent sort of admiration, which, strangely enough, made Anakin's heart do funny things. He smiled and leaned against the wall, arms crossed.

Ahsoka was smiling at another youngling, who was tugging at her arm. "Ahsoka, Ahsoka, look!" He said joyfully and activated his training saber with a toothy grin. "Look – my grip is okay, right?"

Ahsoka laughed and adjusted his hands gently. "It's perfectly fine, John – but if we just move your hands lower, you have more flexibility. See? Try it." She said and John turned the saber in his hands. "Oh!" The youngling cried, surprised. "It is!"

The youngling ran forward to one of his friends. "Look, Joan! Joan, I did it!" He said happily. Anakin watched Ahsoka smile after them and she looked up to see Anakin. She grinned and placed her hands on her hips. "Couldn't get away?" She asked lightly. "I know I'm supposed to be training with you, but just give me a few –

"It's fine." Anakin surprised himself as he said those words. He swallowed – hard – and smiled. "Go on."

Ahsoka grinned and turned back around, clapping her hands together. "Alright, kids – anyone ready to learn actual sparring?" She asked and the group of younglings all cheered, gathering around Ahsoka's legs.

Anakin watched on and slowly, a wide, beaming smile appeared on his face. He hadn't noticed how much Ahsoka had grown – she was no longer the small, inexperienced girl he had seen walk out of a shuttle. Ahsoka had become noticeably wiser, kinder, and Anakin couldn't help but to feel proud.

His Snips really was turning into a figure of compassion.

A/N - *sniffs and sobs* Snips. Gah. Did any of you guys notice how as Ahsoka grows up, she kind of stops calling Anakin "Skyguy", but Anakin keeps calling her "Snips"? Tell me that I'm over-thinking it, but I feel like that was a subtle hint at how Ahsoka was growing up and Anakin still wanted to see Ahsoka as a young girl. *lifts hands* I don't know if I'm over-analyzing those little words, but to me, that's what always went through my mind. XD Does anyone else agree with me, or am I the only one?

Please review, give constructive criticism, and no flames! I'm going to release two more drabbles that I thought of myself and then I'll go on to fulfill more requests. :)
