Ahsoka thought her master couldn't surprise her anymore. She had once woken up to find him tinkering at his hand, which he had somehow conveniently forgotten to tell her that oh, yeah, he has a mechanical hand, and wait, stop screaming, no, I haven't chopped off my own hand, Snips

And of course, there were the other things that came with being Anakin's Padawan, like sometimes having to crash (or, no, sorry, crash land) ships, hide under crates to get through enemy ships, and sometimes carry around more babies than Ahsoka thought she would be carrying in a war zone. But for the most part, Ahsoka had gotten used to all the surprises that being Anakin's Padawan had thrown her over the last year or so.

Still, she had to admit—

"This is a new one," Ahsoka said, walking on the bridge.

Anakin and Obi-Wan turned around, and Ahsoka snorted. She couldn't keep it in, and she tried to, but—well. "What are you guys wearing?"

"What, you don't like it?" Anakin asked cheerfully.

"Definitely not," Ahsoka said, walking towards the two. "It makes my eyes hurt."

"Well," Obi-Wan said, "it's actually rather warm."

"Yeah, but at what cost?" Ahsoka asked, side-eyeing the disastrous sweaters. Because that was what they were: horrific red sweaters with the symbol of the Republic knitted in an equally horrific green color. Oh, and of course, the red and green collar…white snowflakes…

"Listen," Anakin said, "I thought it looked nice."

"And I like it," Obi-Wan added.

Ahsoka and Anakin both looked at Obi-Wan. Ahsoka didn't miss the way her master's expression softened, but Obi-Wan, oblivious, added, "And I believe Anakin's got a surprise for you, Ahsoka."

"What?" Ahsoka looked at Anakin. "Master—wait—"

"Yeah!" Anakin's face brightened. He ducked out of sight, returned with a small box. "You didn't think I'd forget you, did you?"

"You know…" Ahsoka sighed, taking the box, "I kinda wish you did, at least this time around."

"Never," Anakin said cheerfully.

Ahsoka flipped open the box. She looked at Anakin and Obi-Wan, who smiled expectantly at her.

"You've got to be kidding me," Ahsoka said as she tugged the sweater out of the box. It was red, too, with the same design as Obi-Wan and Anakin. More snowflakes, if that was possible. She peeked at Obi-Wan and Anakin over the sweater. "Seriously? Matching? You gave us matching sweaters?"

"You gonna wear it?"

Ahsoka sighed. Distantly, she could hear some quiet laughter. She turned sharply to Rex, who was stifling a little laugh behind his fist.

She turned back around to Anakin and Obi-Wan and sighed. "And somehow, I'm the Padawan?" she grumbled, but she tugged the sweater over her head. The sleeves were a little long, and she had to roll them up a little, but besides that—huh. Warmer than she'd expected, just like Obi-Wan had said.

She looked at Anakin and Obi-Wan. "Are you two happy now?"

"Quite," Obi-Wan said.

Ahsoka sighed, but she found that she couldn't quite keep herself from smiling. "Okay. So now…" She looked up at Rex and Cody, who were still trying very, very hard not to laugh. "Don't you two even think about it."

"Oh, don't worry," Anakin said cheerfully. "They're getting their own too."

(Ahsoka kept her sweater on after that.)
