Ahsoka given the responsibility of training a group of Younglings by Master Yoda left her unsure of the responsibility. She always found comfort consulting Master Plo. He'd always been a sort of fatherly figure to her, he'd brought her to the Temple and prior to Ahsoka being set under Anakin's tutelage Plo Koon always ensured Ahsoka focused on her studies.

She'd been in the Jedi Temple library, pretending to be searching for something to read, finding Plo Koon deeply concentrated in reading material

She was almost speed walking over "Master Plo" she greeted, she was certain of his smile as he welcomed her "What are you up to little Soka?" he set his reading aside giving her his attention

"I'm accompanying Master Yoda on a mission to llum soon, assisting a group of Younglings in the creation of their lightsabers."

As stoic as he often seemed, he took in her news with an almost cheerful tone of speaking, proud of her for earning the accomplishment "That's wonderful."

He noticed her not returning the same reaction "Is something troubling you?"

"It's just am I even ready for that kind of responsibility?" she wondered aloud to him, her thoughts seeming to escape before she even had a second to think about it

"Do you feel Skywalker has given you the tools to be able to lead others?"

"I've done it before." she recalled from her time on Garnac. Despite the victory she'd still had a loss with Kalifa

"I'm not underestimating my abilities, it's more the unknown with missions. Not everyone comes back sometimes and I would feel terrible if I allow anything else to go wrong."

"Loss is a part of this war." Master Plo back to being serious "As unfortunate as it is, we have to go on and ensure we have successes rather than failures. We are at a tipping point and I feel we are much closer to the end."

Ahsoka accepting his words with a nod, he took one her hands, squeezing it reassuringly "Know that I am proud of you, You'll be alright."


The waiting was the worst part of lessons. Master Yoda seeming unfazed as time continued to tick by on whether the Younglings were doing alright

"Now I know how Anakin feels." she admitted, arms crossed as she paced watching the caves for any changes

"Calm, you must be." Yoda deep in meditation "Trust in them you must."

"I do." Ahsoka reassured, despite her thoughts saying otherwise

Petro had been the first to exit with his crystal, overconfidence lucked him out with a piece of ice as his prize frustration lead him back into the caves for a second attempt

The others had made it out with crystals, short of Katooni and Petro as the doors were close to being shut with the ice and they would be trapped

Their Force signature could still be sensed, so they weren't gone


Anakin was practically begging to get away from the briefing long enough to sneak a visit since coming back from the Onderon mission, Padme had been keeping away

Once he was given the opportunity, he was almost running his brisk walk had seemed as he took the usual path to Padme's

He had almost knocked her down in a hug, he was so happy to see her

"It's been too long." he whispered, keeping his forehead as close as he could to hers, she was smiling but the tremors her body gave off made Anakin worry

"Padme, your trembling what's going on?"

"Something wonderful has happened." her tone was positive despite how much she was shaking in his arms

"Ani, I'm pregnant."

All at once his brain seemed to skip, he found it impossible to figure the right reaction

"Th-That's wonderful." he got that out, his smile seeming unable to fall at the news

Padme met him eye to eye, serious "What are we going to do?" she questioned, dread taking over at the fear of their relationship being found out because of this.

He set his right hand to lay against her face, thumbing up her cheek gently "We aren't going to worry about anything right now. This is a happy moment."
