A/N: So I was watching the Clone Wars movie the other day, and I realized how much it meant to Ahsoka that Anakin accepted her as his Padawan. I decided to write my own interpretation of the scene. It's pretty short, but I hope you enjoy it!
Ahsoka sat dejectedly on that wall she had pulled down over Anakin. She lowered her head and crossed her arms. It was a habit of hers—whenever she felt upset, she would cross her arms, almost as if she were hugging herself. It helped her feel safe.
She had saved Anakin's life, but he didn't seem to appreciate the risk she had taken. If she hadn't done that, maybe she would still have a chance at being his Padawan.
Out of the corner of her eye, Ahsoka saw Anakin walk in front of her and sit down to her left. She kept staring dejectedly at the ground, giving no acknowledgement of his presence. For a moment, they sat together in silence.
"You're reckless, little one," he finally said. Ahsoka closed her eyes and turned her head slightly away, as if trying to shield herself from his words. She could feel Anakin's disappointment through the Force.
"You never would've made it as Obi-Wan's Padawan," Anakin continued. Ahsoka sensed… regret?
She let her head slump farther forward. Why did he have to rub it in?
"But you might make it as mine," Anakin said, finally turning to look at her.
Ahsoka's eyes slammed open. She lifted her head the slightest bit and turned back to Anakin, braid swinging against her lek, a hopeful smile appearing on her face.
Anakin looked at her for a moment, then he smiled back and inclined his head in a slight nod.
Ahsoka had already seen so many of his playful smirks today. But this was a genuine smile. A smile of acceptance. That meant the world to Ahsoka.
Her own smile widened, and she raised her head.
"Come on," Anakin said gently, standing up and walking towards the gunship landing a short distance away.
Still smiling, Ahsoka grabbed her backpack, not bothering to put it on all the way, and ran to catch up with her new master.
A/N: This was one of my favorite scenes in the entire Clone Wars movie. I hope I did it justice—let me know!
