A/N: Sorry I haven't updated this in a while; I'm working on two other stories along with this one at the moment.

"Can I go now?" Anakin moaned.

"Ten more seconds!" Ahsoka called down to him.

"How about now?"

"Three more seconds!"

"Okay, how about now?" Anakin asked.

Ahsoka slumped her shoulders. "Fine," she said, using the force to lift Anakin out of the hole or something and then slam him on the ground on the rim of the hole or something.

"I'm free!" Anakin hollered, bouncing up and down until he tripped over his own feet and fell, scraping his hand. Anakin looked at his palm and started crying when he saw the blood. (He was very mature about it, thank you very much.)

"Oh, come on," Ahsoka sighed. "You got your arm cut off and hardly made a sound! Or that's how you put it, at least."

Anakin just cried even louder at that and Ahsoka smacked her face with her hand. "I'm just going to give Obi-Wan the shot that gives him back his force powers now. I really don't know how he handled you," Ahsoka muttered, only half to herself.

"Yes, I had a feeling this moment would come," Obi-Wan said, clearly trying to hide his excitement.

Ahsoka rolled her eyes, then reached out with the force to lift Obi-Wan to the top of the hole or something. Once he was safely there, Ahsoka injected the shot that would undo the effects of the last one.

"Much better. Now, let's find out a way to stop Anakin's screaming," Obi-Wan said.

"I have no idea," Ahsoka muttered.

"Let's just cut his vocal cords," Obi-Wan suggested calmly. Anakin suddenly stopped screaming and looked at Obi-Wan with a look of horror on his face.

"There, see? I didn't even have to do it," Obi-Wan said.

Ahsoka had to admit she was impressed, but she tried not to show it. "Lets just go back to Coruscant," she sighed.

"Wait! What about me?" Rex called.

"You had a grappling hook this whole time! Use it!" Ahsoka called down to him. Rex picked the grappling hook off his belt and looked at it in embarrassment before shooting it at the top of the hole or something. It latched onto a rock at Ahsoka's feet, and Rex began to climb up.

Ahsoka helped rex climb out and walked over to the ship she and Obi-Wan had taken to get to the planet. She noticed Anakin had his hand over his mouth to make sure he didn't say anything and rolled her eyes.

At the Temple...

"Skywalker! Where have you been?" Master Windu asked, which had become his usual greeting whenever Anakin did something wrong. Anakin opened his mouth to explain that it was all Ahsoka's fault, then closed it again, remembering that he wasn't allowed to speak.

"I got stranded and Anakin came to help me," Ahsoka lied, giving Anakin a look that he guessed meant she was daring him to contradict her.

Anakin nodded in agreement, still too afraid to speak.

"You should have contacted the council before rushing off like that," Windu said.

"We'll remember, master," Ahsoka said, saving Anakin again.

Master Windu gave Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan a long lecture on how to properly behave… you know, the part where Anakin will stop listening and start daydreaming about Padme. Then Windu walked away, and Anakin went to his room to sleep. He was convinced he would never talk again… and maybe he was right.
