**Flashback**

Autism

Kit opened the holo-book and started reading what was written, and as he read, pictures started moving. "(1) Autism is a brain development disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behaviour. (1) I'd suggest that you read the rest on your own, if you have any questions, you can ask me if you'd like," Kit finished as he closed the holo-book and handed it to Anakin.

"You know if you hadn't become a Jedi you would have made a great teacher," Anakin said. Kit gave a smile in return.

"Thanks, Skywalker, but I hope that you understand Zon's condition a little better," Kit said as he turned to the window the room.

"A bit," Gazer said, then added "And Koth must know how to work with Autism," remembering the nervous grey alien.

"I guessing so too," Gunn added.

"The only thing I'm curious about is why you researched Autism in the first place?" Anakin asked his superior in curiosity.

Kit looked out the window, at the stars and said: "I guess to understand how they see the world."

It was confusion time again. 'It'll be nice if Fisto could just tell us without confusing us,' Anakin, Gunn and Gazer thought at the same time.

*30 minutes later*

Kit left after their conversation, leaving the two clones and Jedi knight in the cockpit. Anakin was reading/watching the holo-book and the two clones piloted the ship.

"I'm surprised that Autism is compacted," Anakin muttered out loud.

"Where are you expecting it to be easy, General?" Gazer asked as he watched the control panel.

"I didn't expect it to be easy, just, well… I don't think that many beings were affected by Autism," Anakin said as his eyes never left the holo-book. The clones gave each other a glance.

"That is pretty hard to take in," Gunn said finally.

"I'm just surprised that we haven't heard about it up until now," Anakin said as he finally closed the book.

"Wouldn't be the first time," Anakin jumped halfway out of his skin when he heard Fisto's voice as it suddenly spoke up right next to him.

"Master Fisto!" Anakin said as both his body, and half his mind, was shaking with astonishment, and from being scared to death. "Can you not do that again?"

"Sorry Skywalker, it wasn't my intention to surprise you," The green Nautolan said scratching his cheek.

'Surprise me? You nearly scared me out of my skin,' Anakin thought as he tried to slow his fast heart rate.

Suddenly, the ship shook violently. "Status report," Anakin said immediately.

"It's Grievous, Sir," Gazer said as he looked out the window at a dark cruiser.

"Last thing we needed," Anakin said with a scowl. The cruiser shock again from the laser impact. Koth stumbled into the cockpit, kinda literally.

"W-what's g-going on?" Koth stuttered as he tried to regain his footing.

"We're being attacked by the Separatists," Gazer shouted while trying to regain control of the ship.

"W-WHAT? That's the last thing I needed. Oh, this is making me nervous," Koth said frantically looking around for something.

"When is he not nervous?" Gunn muttered to Gazer.

"Where's Zon?" Koth asked anxiously.

"He's tinkering," Kit said simply. That didn't help with Koth's nervousness at all.

A little bell ring tone came from Kit. "General?" the clones asked in a union. Kit fished out the little communicator and pressed a button on it.

"Zon?" Kit asked the little box.

"Going to activate Teleportation drive," Zon said in his usual tone over the tiny raconteur.

"Wait what do you mean by Teleportation drive?" Anakin blurted.

"Activating," Zon said plainly.

Everyone stared at the communicator and shouted "WHAT?!"

*Grievous' control panel*

"We've got them in our sights, General," said a battle droid.

"Excellent, we'll have that Technopath in our hands soon," Grievous said with glee.

Suddenly the Republic ship glowed a soft light and vanished from sight and scanner. Grievous glared at the empty space.

"Um, the ship disappeared," said another battle droid. Grievous smashed the droid's head to pieces.

"It seems that the Technopath is more brilliant than we've anticipated," Grievous said as another droid took the place of the poor droid before it.

*With the two Jedi, Clones, and a nervous alien*

Zon walked into the control room with a big grin on his face and his doll in hand, and said "Hi".

"WHAT IN THE SENNIT WHERE WHO THINKING?" Anakin shouted. Zon ran straight out the moment Anakin started yelling.

"Skywalker," Kit said sternly. Anakin turned his attention to the older Jedi. "Did you forget what you just read about?" Kit asked sternly. Anakin suddenly did remember and started feeling very bad.

"A lot of the people affected by Autism don't like loud noises (2)," Anakin said as he stared at the ground. Kit put a hand on Anakin's shoulder.

"Don't worry about it too much. He'll be all right, but try to understand his condition," Fisto said as he patted Skywalker on the back.

*A Few minutes later at the boarding platform in the Jedi Order*

"Welcome back General Skywalker, Commander Gazer, Gunn," greeted a clone trooper on deck.

"This is Koth Methen, he's the one who's supposed to be looking after Zon," Skywalker said before the clone could ask. Koth gave a nervous chuckle.

"And he's also a worrying nerve wreck," Gunn added. Koth kinda slumped a bit knowing that that was the truth.

"But, where's Telvark and General Fisto?" the trooper asked as he looked behind them.

"Master Fisto went to get Telvark since we don't know where he runs off to," Skywalker explained as the four walked down the deck.

Out of nowhere Zon appeared, upside down, floating a few feet up, and said "Hi-ya, Trouble," with a smile, and doll in hand. Skywalker was scared of his skin, clones, and Koth as well.

"Where did you come from, before you popped out of nowhere?" Skywalker stated as he tried to slow down his heart rate. Zon just smiled.

"Sorry guys," Fisto said as he walked down the platform "It's one of his habits," he added as one of his hands rubbed the back of his head.

"Is Skywalker spelt how it sounds?" Koth asked Skywalker as he typed on a little electronic notepad. Skywalker replied a yes, and then noticed that Zon was floating right above them, upside-down.

"It's his shoes," Fisto answered before Skywalker even asked. He looked at Zon's feet, which had metallic shoes on them. Then Fisto added "He made them one day in arts-and-crafts. They let him float around at will, but they only respond to his brainwaves."

Skywalker just listened to Fisto and watch Zon land his feet on the ground.

"You might want to be careful when you go in there," Zon said pointing to the ship.

"Why?" the clone trooper asked not quite getting what Zon is saying.

"There's this really scary and loud monster in there," Zon explains. Skywalker realized that the 'monster' that he was describing was him (3), and turned a little pink. Fisto patted him on the shoulder and whispered "Told you," and then walked away.

'It's not going to be the same here anymore,' Skywalker thought as everyone headed towards the Jedi Council.

~To be Continued~

(1) What is written in-between the 1s is from wiki/Autism

(2) It's true, a lot of them don't like loud noises, sometimes specific noises.

(3) Luck for Skywalker a lot of Autistic people don't remember faces too well, although they just mistake a person for someone else, especially when the facial expression changes dramatically.
