Hello, everyone! I'm back with another drabble - and this one was a plot that I thought of by myself. I have one more drabble to release that I thought of myself and then I'll go on with fulfilling requests, so please be patient!

This was inspired by Youth by Daughter - which, by the way, is one of my favorite songs ever. It's got a haunting melody and tone to it, but...gah, it's just beautiful. Listen to it.

Enjoy!


Plot – Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were the wild youth, chasing visions of their futures.

xXx

Ahsoka Tano had been picking at some flowers from the ground. She hadn't really pulling them out of the ground, though – she would tug at the stem for a few minutes before letting it go. And there were hundreds, maybe thousands of flowers surrounding Ahsoka from where she was.

This was Naboo – a peaceful planet which Ahsoka always liked to visit. Waterfalls roared a few yards away from Ahsoka, though she didn't mind the din of water hitting water – again, she actually found it rather peaceful.

And then Anakin was suddenly chasing Ahsoka, and the former peaceful air was destroyed. Ahsoka didn't mind it, though – she never did. She was perfectly fine with Anakin chasing her. Ahsoka wouldn't feel truly at peace unless she had her master – her friend by her side.

Now, Ahsoka and Anakin were sitting down on the grass, laughing and giggling over the events that had occurred in the last few minutes. "Padmé is going to murder us when she sees the state of our clothes." Ahsoka said, looking down at her outfit which was, sure enough, covered with grass stains and dirt. Anakin shrugged and flopped down on his back. "It's not her clothes – she'll be just fine." He said lazily.

Ahsoka rolled her eyes but mirrored Anakin's position. For a few minutes, the two didn't speak – they both watched white clouds roll by and felt the sun warm their skin. A nice, cool breeze ran through the grass, causing both Anakin and Ahsoka to close their eyes and savor the pure joy of it all.

Finally, Ahsoka asked in a small voice, "Master?"

"Yes, Snips?" Anakin asked, his eyes still closed.

Ahsoka propped herself on her elbows and turned to look at Anakin. "Where do you see yourself in the future?" She whispered. "You know, after the war and stuff?" Anakin's eyes blinked open and he moved his head to look at Ahsoka. "Is this a trick question?" He asked slowly.

Ahsoka shook her head solemnly. Anakin sighed and sat up, resting his arms over his knees. "I don't really know, Snips," he said, "but I suppose I see myself…in a place where there's no such thing as hiding. Or secrets. Nothing – for once, people could be who they want and they could love who they want to love, they can do what they want…"

Ahsoka couldn't quite tell what there was in Anakin's voice – sadness? Pain? Annoyance? However, she simply chose to ask, "Even the Jedi?"

"Especially the Jedi." Anakin murmured, but before Ahsoka could question him any further, he asked, "What about you, Snips? Where do you want to see yourself in the future?"

Ahsoka paused and shrugged. "I don't know," she said slowly and then smiled. "I suppose I would want to be like you. You know, great hero and all that." Ahsoka said. "Hope for peace…all of that."

Anakin blinked and for a second, Ahsoka thought she saw the shine of…were those tears?...in his eyes, but Anakin quickly cleared his throat, looking away. "Come on, Snips," he said lightly, standing up. "Let's go face Padmé."


A/N - I swear Youth fits just about any fandom with a sad ending, including Star Wars : The Clone Wars. I mean, just look at this lyric - "one day we'll reveal the truth that one will die before he gets there..." (I'm going to kill the fandom now...)

Technically, a bit of Anakin "died" in ROTS, so he never got to see that dream of being free with Padmé. :'( Not to mention the lyric where it says, "And my eyes are damp with the words you left..." Ahsoka leaving Anakin? It sounds like that. *begins crying* GAH. SONGS. WHY. ARE. YOU. REMINDING. ME. OF. SAD. FANDOMS. WHY. WHY. WHY.

*puffs out a breath* Anyways - as always, please review! Give constructive criticism if you have any, but don't flame!
