"Skyguy," Ahsoka whispered, "Are you awake? It's snowing." She nudged him and continued to whisper his name, "Skyguy." She let out a frustrated sigh, "Skyguy! Wake up!" she shouted. Anakin sat up, "Huh, what's going on?" he asked, rubbing his eyes and yawning, "It's snowing." Ahsoka said. Anakin groaned, "Ugh, I hate snow," he stated, "It's cold and wet and irritating." "But Master," Ahsoka whined, "I wanna go play in it." Anakin just grumbled and laid back down. "Fine," Ahsoka mumbled, "If you won't play in the snow with me, I'll just find some people who will."


"Please?" Ahsoka begged, "It does sound like fun," Fives said, looking at Hardcase, they both smiled, "We're in." "If they're in, I'm in." Jesse said. Rex and Kix were still unsure, "I didn't want to do this," Ahsoka said, "But you leave me no choice." She took a breath, then did her best sad Tooka eyes, "Okay, okay," Rex said, "We'll play in the snow with you, besides someone needs to be there to make sure things don't get out of control." Kix nodded in agreement, "It's probably a good idea to have a medic with you." he said. Ahsoka grinned, "Great!"


"Rex" Anakin's voice crackled over the comm, "Have you seen Ahsoka? I can't find her." Rex smiled, Skywalker definitely had a soft spot for his padawan, "Don't worry General, she's with us." Anakin's relief was evident, "That's good, I'll be right over."


What Anakin wasn't expecting, was to find Ahsoka, Fives, Hardcase, and Jesse playing in the snow. What started as a light flurry that morning, had turned into a slightly heavier snow that had started to accumulate on the ground. Ahsoka, Fives, Hardcase, and Jesse were throwing snow in the air, running through small piles of it, and even attempting to catch snowflakes on their tongues. Anakin was pleased to see all of them wearing proper winter clothes, though he probably had Rex and Kix to thank for that. Ahsoka saw him, and spoke before he could even begin to lecture her, "I know I shouldn't have left without telling you," she said, "But I wanted to play in the snow and you wouldn't play with me, so I came here because I knew they would, and I did leave you a note." "Okay Snips, but in the future tell me where your going so I don't have to search half of the temple for you." Anakin said, he was actually quite happy that he didn't have to give her a lecture, that was Obi-wan's thing. "You searched half of the temple?" Ahsoka asked, "Why didn't you just comm Rex." Anakin opened his mouth to defend himself, but realized she had a point. It would have made more sense to comm Rex first, rather than search half of the temple. Note to self, Anakin thought, Next time I can't find Ahsoka, just ask Rex if he's seen her. In the time it had taken him to follow Ahsoka's logic and make a mental note, everyone else, aside from Rex and Kix, had gone back to playing in the snow. Ahsoka gave a small squeal as Fives threw a snowball at her, though it sort of turned into dust. "Come on guys." Ahsoka shouted waving them over, "Well, it can't hurt." Rex said, and then he ran over to join the fun. "You know, of everyone, he's the one I didn't think would break." Anakin said to Kix, who just shrugged and said, "He can't say no to the Commander's Tooka eyes unless it's a life or death situation."


A/N: I'll be honest, I'm starting to struggle. My metaphorical well has nearly run dry, and there is a very small possibility that I might have to skip publishing tomorrow, in order to have my Christmas Eve and Christmas Day stories ready. I know I promised that I would publish every day except on Saturdays, but I'm only human. While I will try my very best to publish something tomorrow, I may have to skip one day. We have two days until Christmas Eve, three days until Christmas Day, and seven days until The Book of Boba Fett. Anyway, thank you for reading, feel free to leave a review, and I hope you enjoyed.
