Chapter 25

It was a bright day on Coruscant. Anakin had been summoned by the Jedi Council to their chamber. He was about to give his side of the story.

Only a couple of days later after the talk of Anakin with master Yoda, this had to be addressed. In the meantime, when they weren't training during the day, Ahsoka and Anakin were trying to enjoy their time together as a couple.

The Jedi walks into the chamber, Anakin took a slow pace as he stares at all the masters; such a long time since they were all physically present. Kenobi nodded to Anakin, greeting him.

He reaches the middle, "Masters." He said while bowing to them.

All the other masters briefly bowed in response.

"I have no excuses for my actions. I failed the Jedi code when I decided to let my emotions takeover of me. The Sith poisoned my mind with false visions, and instead of fighting it, I chose to embrace them as reality, I was weak. I failed you, my master, my Padawan... And I failed myself." Anakin concluded.

Master Ki had the word now, "Your actions led to much pain, Skywalker. The death of Master Windu, the suffering your Padawan went through in the hands of the chancellor AND your own, not forgetting the cold-blooded execution of many separatist's leaders." He explained.

"As I said master, I have no excuse. I've returned here ready to pay for my actions. I can't forgive myself for what I did, and I can only offer myself and… my sincere apology. I am sorry." Anakin bowed after finishing his sentence.

"This is all confusing. You fell to the dark side, but here you are, turning yourself and regretting your actions." One of the masters said.

"The now Jedi, my former Padawan, Ahsoka Tano is responsible for that. She risked everything after discovering that there might be a way to save me from the dark side." Anakin started to explain, "In one of the Holocrons from the archive, there was information about a planet, Voss, where its species are Force sensitive and, they have knowledge that neither the Jedi or Sith have."

"Hmmm… Dangerous, the path you two took, was." Master Yoda pointed out.

"I've never heard of this planet. Force-sensitives that are different from Jedi and Sith? And this was in our archives?" Master Shaak-Ti raised a good point.

Master Yoda stand up from his chair and walks a little with the help of his cane, "Old, our knowledge of them is. The Jedi tried to be their allies in the past. But failed, we have. So, did the Sith." He explained and walked around Anakin.

"I'm not entirely sure of what happened, Ahsoka explained that the… mystic that we met, she had a vision of our arrival and gave us aid immediately, as long as Ahsoka agrees to some sort of trials." Anakin said.

"Young Ahsoka was truly brave, to put herself in such danger for her master. For everything she did..." Master Plo Koon stated.

"I am really proud of her, master Plo," Anakin replied.

"But the question still remains, how such beings managed to cleanse you from the darkness?" Master Plo continued as he questioned him.

"I'm not entirely sure. Ahsoka explained to me that the mystic had knowledge of healing through the Force, and for days I remained in a coma, the one from the day of the operation." Anakin started to explain, staring at the floor while remembering, "I can't explain but, inside my mind… It felt so real, I fought myself in there. But it didn't matter, I was lost, trapped, inside my mind." He continued while clenching his eyes, "Ahsoka shared part of her life essence to clear my judgment, to direct me to the right path."

After a brief moment of silence, with all the masters intrigued as most of them probably never heard of this, "It was… Odd, I admit like the Force was truly working in our favor. A stranger took us, Ahsoka went through these trials and succeeded, she then shared part of her so I could heal from both my physical and mental wounds." Anakin finished his explanation.

"The dark side… I don't sense it in Anakin anymore, masters. It was strong when he was at the hospital." Obi-Wan stated.

"Indeed, Master Kenobi, I too, can't sense any darkness in Skywalker. This story, though, such events where we must meditate. There's so much from this that we must understand." Master Shaak-Ti exclaimed.

"Deceived by the Sith, we were. Hidden among us, he was. Hmm…" Master Yoda pointed out, "But strong, the bond you and your Padawan have, it is, then perhaps, saved you were." He concluded.

"Masters, I can't prove to you that I've changed. But I now trust in my word and I trust Ahsoka, she went through a lot to bring me back, even after I hurt her so much." Anakin assured them, "I know we, Jedi, can't form attachments, but the reason I prevailed over my darker self was that I had friends counting on me, friends that I disappointed when I chose this path of darkness." He finished his explanation while staring at Obi-Wan.

Kenobi felt the truth in Anakin's words, they both had each other's back, sometimes they doubted one another, but in the end, both Jedi also had a special connection. The master smiled at his Padawan, delivering his trust.

"Young Skywalker easily seduced you were. You chose the path of anger, aggression, and fear. Darth Sidious followed this path. The dark side easily it flows, quick to join you in a fight, and consumed by it, he was." Master Yoda explained, "Skywalker, there is forgiveness for those who seek it."

Anakin stared at Yoda, who slowly approached him.

"Listen, Anakin, young you are and much to learn you still have, if you choose the easy and quickest path again, lost forever you will be, an agent of evil, you will become." Master Yoda stated and then turned back to his chair.

"I won't make the same mistake again, master. I only need a chance to prove it." Anakin replied.

"Hmmm…" Master Yoda mumbled while sitting on his chair, "Much to discuss we have, a decision cannot be rushed. You may return to your duties, young Skywalker. Inform you of our decision, later, Obi-Wan will."

Anakin bowed to the council and was then dismissed from the hearing. He had a strange grin on his face; in the end, he somehow truly believed that things would work out for him. Something like being healed from the darkness certainly intrigues the council, and they would focus on this.

"I have to get back to Ahsoka." Anakin whispered, "I might be the luckiest man in the galaxy, I can't imagine how things would be today if she had left the Order that day." He thought.

Later that day, Ahsoka was training her lightsaber moves and also demonstrating them to other Padawans.

Anakin soon arrived and stayed behind observing his former apprentice, teaching, it warmed his heart, and he realized how much she had grown. As soon as the training session was over for the young ones, he decided to finally approach her.

"Not long ago you were a learner, now you are becoming the master." Anakin stated, grinning at her, "I'm proud of you, Ahsoka, I really am."

Ahsoka blushed, "Anakin…" She said softly, also surprised after seeing him, "I would kiss you but, there are many Jedi around us today." The girl giggled.

"I think things will work out, after all, master Yoda said that the council's decision will be delivered later by Obi-Wan, but I was completely honest with them." Anakin explained, "The other masters don't know about what happened to me, but I think master Yoda knows, this may be good to us."

"I will trust you then." Ahsoka replied grinning warmly at him, "Also, there's something I've meant to ask you."

"Anything for you, my love." He whispered while approaching her.

"Aren't you a bold one? Someone can hear you!" The girl said a little startled, "You said that about my training but, the past couple of days our training felt like I was a Padawan again and you my master. You didn't turn you lightsaber once."

Anakin looks down, "Ahsoka, carrying rocks is one thing, it was heavy, I admit." He sighs, "But this, I don't know."

"Anakin, I'm here for you. I will help you, you know…" Ahsoka suddenly stopped talking and looked around. All the Jedi were staring at them.

No. They were staring at Anakin, she soon realized.

"What's wrong, Snips. You were saying?" He asked, but then, he looked around too, "I see."

"Don't mind them, I know it's hard, Anakin, but you know what, you have me. Let's train somewhere else, right now we have something more important to do."

Anakin smiled at her, "Thank you, Ahsoka, for being my friend too."

As the couple started to walk away, to find a quiet place for some sparring, the gazing eyes troubled Anakin. Nonetheless, it was hard to describe the sentiment the other Jedi felt: Pity, fear, disappointment? Didn't matter if was of the wrong kind, some even mumbled terrible words while he passes by.

Just healed from darkness and yet, Anakin was experiencing sadness, "I've disappointed all of them, I've failed them too." He thought, but even recognizing the truth, he wished they stopped. He swallowed that pain.

"I think this is a nice spot, don't you?" Ahsoka said while turning back to Anakin, she had such a soft smile, "I really like this spot, that tree makes everything beautiful."

"You're right, it really is something else." He replied while observing the tree moving along with the wind.

"Well, this is it my young Padawan, I will defeat you now," Anakin said not long after, with a smug grin on his face.

"On your dreams, master!" Ahsoka replied while both her lightsabers fly directly to her hands. She ignites them; The girl's instance is precise, both blades backward, the green in front of her and the yellow behind.

Anakin slowly takes his lightsaber, holding with both hands at the height of his waist; it was clear the limitations of his movements, but he didn't complain.

As he stood there, Ahsoka ran towards her master, and after closing their distance, the girl jumps and launches a strike from above putting all her strength in it. Anakin raised his arm and stopped the attack as if it was nothing, only a couple of steps back he gives.

With Ahsoka landing and briefly crouching, she immediately tries swooping the lightsabers trying to hit Anakin's waist, but he turns his', countering her attack once more. The reply was massive but quick waves of his lightsaber, now on his right hand; attacks that made the tip of the blade from meeting the floor to the skies.

The girl was surprised, such strikes from her master required not only great agility to parry but also high strength when their blades met; Anakin might not be fighting like before, but much of his style could be transcribed to his present condition.

Ahsoka advanced again, overwhelming her master while swooping both blades from each side, which made Anakin counter quickly and kept pacing back. Such action gave him an opportunity to read her movements. She finishes her sequence with a precise and piercing strike as if she was about to impale him.

He grins at her and dodges, allowing him to reach out for her wrists and securing. The girl widens her eyes in surprise, "Caught you, Snips." Anakin said, tightening his grip and making her lightsabers fall from her hands. He pulls the girl close to him, their faces now meeting.

"Wow, Skyguy totally didn't expect that," Ahsoka said with an awkward smile.

"I'm getting used to them. It's not easy, many of my movements are now limited but, I can compensate with some strength while tiring the opponent." He replied.

"What you gonna do to me now?" Ahsoka blushed at her question.

Anakin released her wrists and rushed a kiss on the girl's lips, softly reaching and holding her by the waist; she only stood there frozen but also kissing him.

Suddenly they broke apart as they felt a small presence and slowly turned their head, shocked because they were found out.

Observing them with wide open both eyes and jaw, there was a little boy, a youngling. He stood there frozen.

Before either Ahsoka or Anakin could do anything, the boy left, running away.

"Ooh damn! Knowing how kids are, I'll probably have to supply him with sweets for a… I can't even estimate!" Ahsoka said while running her hand over the back of her head.

"Snips, it's fine, he's just a kid. He probably doesn't understand these things very well and… was just surprised for seeing with his own eyes." Anakin replied while chuckling over her comment.

"I hope you're right. I will look for him later. Anyway, it was fun, the fight and… the kiss!" Ahsoka giggles, "You go ahead, there's something I need to discuss with master Yoda, about a vision I had back in Voss." Ahsoka explained.

"I hope nothing serious. Is it?" He countered.

"Don't worry, nothing serious, promise! When I'm finished, I will join you, and we do something fun together, I don't know." The girl finished replying and gave a kiss to Anakin's cheeks, "See you around, Skyguy."

She left on the opposite side they came.

Yoda was meditating when he sensed someone approaching his quarter.

Someone on the outside rang the bell.

Master Yoda briefly smiled, "Enter."

The door opened, revealing to be Ahsoka, "Hey, master Yoda." She said, while walking inside the room and closing the door, "I was hoping to catch you here because… I have something that you might be able to help me with."

"Have a seat, young Ahsoka." He replied.

Ahsoka smiled and went to one of the cushions, sitting on it with her legs crossed.

"Master Yoda, when Anakin and I were on Voss, so we could... Umm… heal him, I went through some trials, where it felt like my spirit had left the body, and I was in the same place but not, at the same time… It's not the point." She sounded confusing.

Yoda laughs briefly, "Calm you must be, Ahsoka. Clear your mind, so the Force can easily flow."

The girl grinned awkwardly, taking a deep breath and waiting a few moments before speaking.

"So, master, you must have heard from Anakin of what I told him about this. It's just, after the trials, the mystic allowed me of a vision, she said that for having completed them I could have a glimpse." Ahsoka explained.

"Hmmm… Visions… Always the future, they show, careful you must be."

"Actually, master, It's not from something bad. I saw what appeared to be a Jedi temple, it was so beautiful, I've never seen scenery like that and the temple was enormous, two giant towers in a cylindrical form and in the middle a building of similar shape but bigger in a width sense."

Ahsoka stopped for a moment, clenching her eyes trying to picture the whole event again, "And just ahead of the entrance, there were so many Jedi, of all ages. They were training, it was so peaceful… But, after meditating on it, it gave me a sentiment like, I knew each one of them, and I felt some obligation towards them too."

"Aah! This temple you speak of… Known to the Jedi, it is, one of our first temples it was." Master Yoda explained putting up a smile.

"But why would I have visions of it? And… I assume we don't use this temple anymore so, why did I see Jedi training in there?" Ahsoka asked while troubled by what Yoda said.

Master Yoda laughs, "Eager you are, Ahsoka. The Jedi you saw, your students they probably are."

Master Yoda's revelation about the possible outcome surprised Ahsoka, confused her too as her expressions mixed between smiles and seriousness.

"Much to reflect on this, I have. And you, young one, to Skywalker must return, troubled the boy is. I sense it!" Master Yoda said laughing again briefly.

Ahsoka laughed too and rushed to the room's exit, "Thank you, Master Yoda, I think… I trust you will find some reasonable interpretation for this vision." She said.

"Careful you two must be, Ahsoka, the bond you share might have saved Skywalker this time, but underestimate the dark side, you must not," Yoda advised her as she stepped out.

Ahsoka looked down for a few seconds and then bowed to master Yoda. She left master Yoda's quarters.

A few days had passed, nothing significant happening besides the Republic still struggling to maintain order after the war, as much debts were made, especially with the clones. Their production had been severely diminished almost to nothing.

During that time, Ahsoka and Anakin took it to spend it together in secret dates or training together, making Anakin getting used to his new condition while fighting.

The consequences of this were that more and more maintenance was required on the limbs.

Suspended in the air, limbless, Anakin was being held by cables and mechanicals arms while surrounded by droids, which some were paying attention to his arms and legs, checking for damaged parts and its hydraulic system.

He stared at the floor while being taken care of, thinking of Ahsoka. While she always asked him to tell her when maintenance would occur, so she could be with him, Anakin never said a word, pretending to forget. He didn't want the girl to see this sad image, to see him vulnerable.

"Skywalker, I like to inform you that we have finished taking care of your mechanical prosthesis and that your artificial nerve endings seem to be in order." The medical droid explained.

"Just… get it over with." Anakin begged with his tired voice, closing his eyes.

"Yes, right away."

That moment Anakin clenched his eyes. He inhales deeply and imprints the image of Ahsoka on his mind.

The room is filled with blue sparks and shocking sounds. Mixed with it, there were the screams that Anakin released, even though he was fighting it, pressing his teeth firmly; Wires were being connected to his nerve endings and all other sockets.

Short after finishing it, the boy is slowly lowered to the ground, having his movements again but initially receiving aid from the droids to walk.

A strange noise biped, "Oh my, I just received information that someone is waiting for you outside." The medical droid warned Anakin.

"Thank you, and also, schedule my next procedure," Anakin replied while running one of his hands over his head and leaving the medical room.

As the door opened, a familiar voice surprised him, "You don't have to go through it by yourself, Anakin, some friends care for you."

"Obi-Wan…" Anakin said while fully opening his tired eyes, "You're right, I actually promised Ahsoka to tell her every time but, I just can't accept her to keep seeing this."

"She is stronger than you think, you should have realized that by now." Obi-Wan retorted.

"It's not about that, but the fact that she doesn't deserve to go through this. Not that I'm complaining but, why are you here?" Anakin asked while sitting on a chair and still running his hand over the head.

"I have news for you, Anakin. I honestly asked the council to have you there for it, but they've been so busy helping the politicians put the Republic back on its track and… well, keep the peace on the galaxy…"

"Jedi and politicians mixing? Didn't you used me for that in the past?" Anakin interrupted Obi-Wan and laughing afterward.

"Desperate times, desperate measures. It's a different kind of war now and… Anyway, they honestly believe that whatever you two went through on that planet, really saved you. Master Yoda seemed very convinced of that."

"So, this means that after everything I did things will work out in my favor? How convenient." Anakin said annoyed.

"Usually, people express happiness when receiving good news. What is the problem, Anakin?"

"Master, don't you see? This is conveniently their way of using what happened to me in their favor! Since when does Jedi care about politics and what people think of us? We are supposed to protect people regardless, and I've failed the Order, and I should be punished."

"Anakin, the fact that you acknowledge these things are proof enough of the good and values of our Order in you and that they are being put above the dark side." Obi-Wan countered and then reached the boy's arms, holding, "I couldn't be prouder of you, I hope you see that."

"I… understand… Thank you, master. I think I'm just getting impatient, having nothing significant to do these days. If wasn't for Ahsoka…" Anakin said.

"We might have a solution for that, Anakin, it seems Ahsoka had a talk with master Yoda and, well, he later had instructions delivered to your quarters after we had reached a decision. You might enjoy it."

Anakin frowned, "I guess I'll be going to them." He said whiles walking away.

"Have some rest too."

Anakin only nodded while walking away with a glooming expression.

The door opened, and Anakin entered his quarters.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" An angry Ahsoka asked.

"Maintenance," Anakin replied with a tired expression, followed by a long sigh.

He headed to the bed and throw himself on it, falling on his back.

"Anakin, I tried to reach you many times, I was getting worried. And why didn't you tell me about it? I told that I should be there with you."

"You're right, I'm sorry. I just don't want you to keep seeing that, we don't need more depressing things between us."

Ahsoka walked towards Anakin and leaned over his face and pointing with her finger, "I don't care. You're bringing me next time."

After a long sigh, he agreed, "Anyway, Obi-Wan said that your talk with master Yoda had the council decide not to punish me, that he also had delivered something for us. What is it?"

"That's incredible! Oh and…" Ahsoka was excited, but she went to pick up the datapad, "…This was delivered by a Jedi, a pad with some information and I waited for you to get back."

Anakin didn't think twice, he activated the datapad, rushing for its information. The visor had a big name on it.

Tython. One of the few planets close to the galaxy's deep core and possibly the homeworld of the Order, but now long abandoned.

"Oh... OH! OBVIOUSLY!" Ahsoka said with wide open eyes.

"What is it, Ahsoka?" Anakin asked, standing up and sitting on the bed, "You know of this planet?"

"It's about the vision I had, that one of the Jedi temple and the people training there. I told master Yoda about it. And I think I know why he sent us this…" She replied.

"Oh. I see. It makes sense… So, I am getting punished after all!" Anakin said, realizing what it meant.

"What? Why are you saying that?"

"Come on, Ahsoka. Sending us to a planet that was abandoned by the Order to train other people?" Anakin explained, standing up from the bed, "You know we can do that in here right? They're just getting rid of us, that way the people won't think ill of them."

"You're overreacting. Anakin, we will be masters, how great is that?"

"The last thing they want is me as master. I know what I've done was beyond horrible, but I always wanted to be a master among the ones sitting in the council. I trained you, Snips, it worked, but I'm not supposed to be training other people."

Ahsoka walked towards Anakin and placed both of her hands on his chest, "I know how this is important for you, and I can't think of anyone but you that deserves to be on the council as a master, you worked so hard…" She softly said.

They both stared each other for a few seconds.

"But… Anakin, we can't stay here like this, that vision felt important to me. Maybe it means that we need to focus on our future together, and we kind of deserve this. You are my family now."

Anakin smiled awkwardly, "You think about us? I mean… Our future? That we are going to be together?"

Ahsoka blushed really hard and gripped his robes, after realizing what she said, "Y-Yeah… I-I mean, I love you. I t-think about it… sometimes…" She was stuttering while speaking, breathing fast.

The girl then was softly embraced by Anakin, which she immediately closed her eyes and soon started to calm down, with her face buried in his chest.

"You just had the cutest expression right now." Anakin said, after chuckling, "It makes me happy that you think like that. Then let's go to this planet, let's fix this temple and put some Jedi to work hard."

Ahsoka giggled and lifted her head a little, "Anakin, we will have some people that will work on the temple, and that will train with us, but you do know that most of them are gonna be younglings, right?"

Anakin rubs the back of his neck, "Of course, Snips, I-I know t-that…" He said laughing awkwardly. He was starting to realize something.

"It will be so great. I'm not gonna lie, but a part of me always wanted to teach the children, and we can tell them about love and be more open-minded. I mean, slowly so we don't make things complicated with the council." Ahsoka explained.

Anakin was getting really nervous.

"I just remembered, what about that boy that saw us? Did you handle him?" He asked.

Ahsoka laughed, "Oh, you had to see him, it was so cute… He asked so many questions but, in the end, I really believe he accepted, I think children are more understanding than adults. I had to buy him some sweets though, and I will take him to Tython too, just to be sure." She explained, finishing while laughing again.

The girl then approached Anakin and took both of his hands, holding them close to her, "Listen, I know how the council is important to you, but I want you to trust me here, it will be the best, we will have so much freedom for us both, and we will also have many children…"

"WE WILL?" Anakin interrupted, widening his eyes.

"Of course, the younglings, Anakin, are you even listening?" Ahsoka asked, giggling. She reaches his cheeks with her hand, "Why? What were thinking?" She asked while putting a soft smile.

"Our… Future?" Anakin replied, lowering his head.

"Oh! I… see… I mean, well…" She was trying to figure out words but couldn't complete sentences, "He means, our children? He wants us to… really be a family?" Ahsoka thought.

The girl froze with his statement soon after they broke apart and started to stare at each other. The idea began to fill both their heads, as while it sounded incredibly it was also scary because the moment it becomes real, their secret would be revealed.

Ahsoka sighed and prepared to speak, "Listen. We will find a way. We don't need to think about it now, right? We should focus on us and this opportunity, you know?" She said, "Not that I don't want it, NO. I… Just…"

"Yeah, I totally understand, Snips, you're… right… We are YOUNG and… we still have things… PROBLEMS, to… solve." Anakin replied, "But yeah, I think we could… try, in the future."

They both were looking very awkwardly at each other, exchanging a few smiles in the middle. Ahsoka holding her arm and Anakin rubbing the back of his neck. Still, Ahsoka swallowed her embarrassment and rushed to his arms, hugging him.

"All that matters is that we will both fight for our happiness. I love you… My skyguy!" She stated, finishing with a chuckle that made Anakin tighten his arms around her and agreeing with the girl.

Weeks have now passed since what they had shared on their quarters together.

It was a night on Tython.

Anakin had the most tired look on his face. He was sprawled on the couch of his room.

"Ahsoka, you will be the death of me… Everything hurts, especially my back…" He said.

"I didn't know things would be like this. I mean, I figured that after everything that happened they would want distance from us, but man!" The girl retorted followed by a long yawn.

"How could this happen? Knights everywhere, wanting our guidance and… and, training, I mean, some were even Padawans like us and what experience do we have? We are young too!" Anakin was venting out.

Ahsoka laughed, "Oh, Anakin… It was the war, you know how it is. We all had to grow up faster and make hard decisions, lead an army. And in the end, you were the one who stood out." She said.

"At least, they are fixing the temple. Earlier I've been to the room where used to be the council's, now I think it will be ours to do… whatever." Anakin said.

He decided to stand up, a little hard because of the exhaustion. He walked towards the balcony, with his eyelids almost closed, from another perspective it could even seem as he was dragging himself with great difficulty.

Just outside, there weren't many people to be seen. It was dark. The planet had two beautiful moons, a really incredible sight, the Force could be sensed by each, one the light and the other the darkness. The reflected light hit Anakin's face, it calmed him even more; he could almost sleep on his feet.

Suddenly, Anakin felt arms coming from behind and pressing against his chest. Then he felt the person laying on his back, resting the head softly.

"Aren't you scared of someone seeing us from down there?" He asked.

Ahsoka giggled, tightening her embrace, "I really don't give a damn right now, I'm so tired, and even if we are standing here, it's so comfortable doing this."

Although Anakin couldn't feel her warmth or her skin at all with his hands, he learned to enjoy the feeling that holding her arms gave on him, the only thing he had learned to distinguish when touching with his new hands.

"I bet they already know but are either too excited to train with us or are too… intimidated, to point it out. We live in an enormous temple now, and we still share a room, no suspicious at all!" Anakin stated and smirked.

"Oh, by the stars, you make everything so embarrassing now!" Ahsoka exclaimed, and both laughed, "Now it makes sense why they look at us so much and whisper when we are together."

Anakin turned to face her, "Took you long enough, Snips." He said while staring at her eyes, holding her by the waist.

The light of the moon was now reflecting on her skin and also making her eyes glow.

"I don't think I ever saw someone so beautiful," Anakin said, keeping a straight face.

Ahsoka could only blush by his statement. She then raises her head and stand on the tiptoe, something for being smaller than Anakin, and kisses him; the girl holds him tightly by his robes and presses her lips firmly on his.

They both enjoyed each other for a brief moment, but they were honestly exhausted, as a matter of fact, they've been like this for a while, mainly because of the temple and all the other Jedi and younglings.

Even after everything, Anakin was somewhat a little on edge thinking this was still some sort of trial that the Force made for him, to test if all was indeed from his heart. But he didn't care what it was, in the end, he had Ahsoka in his arms; the woman he loves and hopes to spend the rest of his life with.

Ahsoka slowly broke from the kiss but kept close to his lips. They both then opened their eyes followed by a soft smile.

"I love you…" Both Ahsoka and Anakin whispered together.

The girl then felt a presence. She turned her head and saw someone observing them. A young Padawan, probably around the same age as when Ahsoka was assigned to Anakin. It was a girl, she was with her eyes wide open and both hands covering her mouth.

"Uhm… Anakin… Someone just saw us." Ahsoka said with a surprised expression on her face.

Anakin turned to see the girl. Now that they were both staring at her, she got startled. It was clear as the sky how she was blushing by the body language she was putting on; heavy breathing, wide-open eyes and how clearly her jaw was down despite the fact her mouth was covered by both hands.

She started to run away towards the temple's entrance, she was laughing while doing so, it was loud enough that both Ahsoka and Anakin heard.

"I knew that something like this would happen, she probably gonna tell everyone!" Ahsoka exclaimed while pressing the railing with both hands.

"Relax, Snips, by her reaction I doubt she will do anything. As a matter of fact, I think you're right, we shouldn't care so much, maybe that way we can change the way Jedi think about… love and stuff." Anakin explained.

Ahsoka sighed and then later nodded in agreement with him. She takes his hands and starts to walk inside, back to their room.

While walking, Anakin then stopped and called her, "Ahsoka!" For which she turned to face him.

"I know I tell you this a lot but…" Anakin inhaled deeply, "I love you!"

Even tired, with her eyes half open, she looks straight to his blue eyes and put up in her the biggest smile she could.

"I love you too!"

The End.
