Disclaimer: I still don't speak Scots Gaelic nor Irish Gaeilge aside from a few words ( I do know slightly more Gaeilge though), so if my translations are wrong then blame Google Translate, not me. I also don't own any character that is not my own creation, obviously. Wish I did though. Could use the kind of money Star Wars rakes in.

Caibideil 6

Three days of hyperspace travel, endlessly chasing a sheep, awkward moments where doors were not locked, Barriss and Ahsoka quietly teasing one another over their boy/girlfriends, and many, many of Séamus's sea shanties, and they finally dropped into orbit around Coruscant. Ahsoka called Gràinne to the cockpit to show her the city planet. Gràinne was completely dumbstruck somewhere between terror and awe, as her sister and Barriss chuckled.

"We'll be landing soon, go get ready," Barriss informed her, "You're going to meet a lot of… strange people."

Gràinne could barely take her eyes off the window as she blankly nodded and turned around, picking up Angus just as the sheep was trotting into the cockpit. She walked into the room to find Séamus putting on his chainmail atop his thick wool and canvas tunics, and his Norseman's helm sitting beside him on their night table waiting to be donned. She took out her pack and picked one of her nicer, less wrinkled fleece dresses and pulling it over herself before slinging her claymore's scabbard strap over her shoulder. Slipping on her shoes, she grabbed her pack and bagpipe just as Ahsoka came to land.

Padmé, Riyo, Anakin, Luminara, a few other ambassadors and Senators, and most of the Council was waiting at the spaceport for the Twilight. Despite pride being against the Code, Luminara felt nothing but when it came to her now-former Padawan's first solo mission as a knight. Having hid a half smile she watched the Twilight touch down on the landing pad, she silently recited the little talk she had prepared to give her. Typical "You're a grown woman now," "I'm greatly impressed with how far you've come," and "Your actions are your responsibility alone, but if you ever need guidance I am always there."

Anakin chatted with Obi-Wan about Ahsoka suddenly having an identical twin sister, "So how alike did they look in the holo-calls?"

"Well, like twins. I think her sister is a little taller though."

"Did she say her name?"

"Grain or something like that."

"Weird, but I guess if it's their culture."

Padmé was excited to meet Ahsoka's sibling and learn about her planet, maybe try to integrate them into the larger galaxy. Riyo feigned interest as Padmé went on about it, and while it was definitely an interesting topic seeing her girlfriend for the first time in weeks was what she was really here for.

The door opened and revealed a small, fluffy, white herbivore that most of those present aside from the Council had never seen before. "Baa!" it bleated, trotting out of the Twilight, followed by Barriss and Ahsoka, the latter of whom was keeping far away from the creature and covered her mouth and nose. Closely behind her was Ahsoka's twin sister, who shared her every appearance save for being a few centimeters taller and wearing what was quite possibly the gaudiest, most plaid dress any of them had ever laid their eyes on.

Gràinne was somewhat afraid of what was at the bottom of the ramp, from how Barriss and Ahsoka were reacting to them they were probably friends, but what kind of creatures they were she had no idea at all. One of them looked like a walking squid and another some type of deformed leprechaun! Did that one have horns? Was she walking into Hell? She lifted her left hand towards her sword for reassurance and looked back at Séamus behind her. The sight of what looked like an older version of herself and her sister made her feel slightly more at ease especially when he came out, massive axe in hand ready to protect her should anything go down.

"Barriss," Luminara began with a smile, "I am impressed and more than a little proud of how far you've come."

Barriss's eyes lit up, she had never heard her former master say she was proud of her before, "R-Really?"

"Yes Barriss, you're a grown woman going on solo missions now, a full knight of the Republic, and who or what is that!" Luminara practically yelled at the sight of the giant of a man behind Ahsoka's doppelgänger.

"That's Ahsoka's sister's fiancé. I thought the Council would have informed you about that?"

"They left out a few details," Luminara replied completely distracted by the absolute unit in front of her.

Séamus put a reassuring hand on Gràinne's shoulder as they walked out, not sure why these, creatures, were gawking at her. All he knew was that if any of them threatened to harm his precious little angel he would massacre their entire family and make them watch, as any gentleman defending his bride-to-be's honor would do. Reaching the group of people, he slammed his axe head into the ground at their feet, cracking the metal and stone structure, to show his intentions are friendly but to also demonstrate his willingness and ability to kill them all if need be.

Senator Halle Burtoni from Kamino practically had credit signs in her eyes at the sight of him and Barriss could have sworn she heard a barely audible "ca-ching," under her breath. One thing the Kaminoan factories were having issues with was the stretching of the Fett DNA. Unbeknownst to most outside of Kamino the DNA was stretched dangerously thin and was resulting in more and more deformed clones, meaning they needed to get new samples fast. This, absolute unit of a man would be the perfect replacement template!

Anakin blinked a bit at the man who stood nearly half a meter taller than him, and he was by no means short, glance at the axe that was nearly as big as Barriss was, and then to Ahsoka's lookalike. Clearing his throat he said, "Welcome to Coruscant Grain, and your name is…"

"Séamus O'Neill."

"And me name's Gràinne MacGuffin ye doaty bassa, hackit face like a skelped erse! " Gràinne snapped at him, quite insulted that he had called her by the wrong name, "Jessie oaf-looking schooner, milk-drinking shilpit!"

Most of those present were taken aback by this seemingly timid girl suddenly snapping and yelling what was assumed to be insults at him. Anakin simply chuckled, "Yep, she's Ahsoka's sister."

"Scabby roaster," Gràinne huffed, finishing her tirade.

After a few more introductions were made, Windu ordered the recently returned Jedi to report to the Council chambers later that day to officially hand in their full report and the Councilors departed. Padmé couldn't get over how cute and clueless Gràinne was, "I'm Padmé Amidala, a friend of Ahsoka's. If you want, you can borrow some of my clothes while you get settled in. Around here you might want to wear something less…"

She paused to think of a word, which Anakin jokingly interjected, "Hideous?"

Gràinne unsheathed her claymore and held the blade right to his throat while Séamus was more than ready to smack his head a kilometer from his neck. "`Shut yer geggie ye nyaff scrote!" she yelled, positively foaming at the mouth at his insult to her clan tartan.

"Plaid," Padmé finished, trying to defuse the situation and possibly save her imbecile husband's life. "Something less plaid. Plaid isn't that fashionable here. For the record I think your dress is very pretty though."

Gràinne scowled at this pretentious dobber with a smart mouth and sheathed her blade, with Séamus following suit putting his axe back on its hook on his back. "I'd like that ma'am. Tank ye."

Meanwhile Riyo and Barriss were almost totally oblivious to the near murder less than four meters away from them. Even Ahsoka noticed the tension and desire between the two. Walking up behind Barriss as Riyo laughingly explained that she had to leave. Despite her laughter, her pain was obvious as she had to leave Barriss so soon after having not seen her for weeks.

Ahsoka nudged Barriss to get her attention, "Go with her."

"Ahsoka," Barriss began.

"Shut it!" Ahsoka quietly hissed, "You have been running around for two weeks and those poems and love notes you wrote clearly show you want to be with her more than anything."

"I do want to be with her but-"

"No buts!"

"Ahsoka you know we have things to do."

"Barriss Esmeralda Offee!" Ahsoka snapped, "Go disappear with your girlfriend for a few hours! Now! I'll cover for you!"

"Tel you what, if you promise to be honest with Lux about your feelings, I'll toss responsibility to the wind and treat Riyo to an awesome date."

"Deal."

Barriss smiled at her friend. "Thank you Ahsoka," she said before bolting in the direction of the Pantoran Senator, hopping into her speeder, pleasantly surprising the both of them.

"My work here is done." Ahsoka muttered with a smile.
