I don't own Star Wars or any of the characters.

Luke followed Mara, Galen and Ezra through halls and antechambers until they reached the training room. The training room was massive, large pillars supporting the high ceiling. As the four walked across the floor, Luke noticed a series of viewing platforms overhead. He only had a moment to take everything in before his attention was diverted to the battle right in front of him.

Luke felt his jaw drop when he saw who was sparring. There, right in front of him, Luke saw his twin sister, Leia; fighting against a female alien (Luke thought the species was Togruta). Leia looked different than Luke remembered her. Her five feet tall body was stronger and fitter, like that of a seasoned warrior, but Leia's dark eyes were not as haunted and traumatic as Luke remembered seeing them. Leia dressed in white Jedi robes, her dark hair back in a tight bun, a slender braid falling over her right shoulder. She was wielding a blue lightsaber in one hand and a shorter saber in her off hand.

The Togruta woman Leia fought against was over six feet tall, athletically built, thin and lean. She had orange skin, three blue and white striped lekku that reached her waist, sharp horns, blue eyes, and white markings on her face. (The Togruta had wing like markings on her cheeks, a diamond pattern running down her forehead, and eyebrow like patterns.) The Togruta Jedi dressed in black leggings and a red tunic. She also wore long fingerless red gloves, a red and white Togruta sash around her waist, an akul-tooth headdress, and thick boots. She wielded a pair of green lightsabers with curved hilts.

Luke watched in amazement as Leia and the Togruta fought. They moved in a stunning display of acrobatics, spinning and swaying, jumping and turning. It almost looked like the two were dancing with the graceful movements they preformed. The fight was ended by the Togruta holding her dominant saber at Leia's throat.

Leia, gracefully accepting her defeat, bowed to the woman as she deactivated her lightsabers.

"Once again Master Ahsoka you have proven to have proven why you are the master and I the learner." spoke Leia.

"Don't sell yourself short, Leia. You almost had me that time. A bit more training and you will far surpass me." insisted Ahsoka.

Leia looked over her master's shoulder and saw her brother, Mara, Galen and Ezra all staring at her. Ahsoka turned, wondering what her Padawan was looking at. The female Master and Padawan approached the four young Jedi, instantaneously getting the four youths' attention.

"It took you long enough to get here. Ahsoka and I started doing drills because you were all taking so long. What did you do, have to stop and pull a prank on Master Windu or disturb another one of Master Yoda's classes?" sarcastically said Leia.

Leia gave Ezra a death glare, causing the young Jedi to throw up his arms in defense.

"Why do you always assume I did something?" asked Ezra.

"No offense, Ezra, but you do tend to have a reputation for pulling pranks and getting called before the Council more than any other Padawan." stated Leia.

"Name one time when I did anything to get myself called before the Council?" challenged Ezra.

"There was the time when we were thirteen and you framed Luke and me for draining the Temple's pool." remembered Galen.

"And the time you were caught eavesdropping on the Council. You fell from the vent and landed right on top of Master Windu. I'm surprised he didn't kill you." recalled Leia.

"And how can any of us forget about the time you had the brilliant idea of 'tweaking' all the training sabers so they would explode just before we started lightsaber class." reminded Mara.

"Then there was the time you and Luke stole that speeder and took it to the lower levels of Coruscant." said a new voice.

The five young adults turned to see two new people had entered the training room. One was a young Twi'lek boy and the other a small Togruta girl. Neither could have been more than ten or eleven years old.

The Twi'lek was scrawny and lanky with green skinn, green-blue eyes, and stubby lekku. The Togruta was small, compact and thin with orange skin, pale blue eyes, short lekku and horns, and no facial markings. Despite the light robes and the lightsabers the children carried, Luke did not think they were Jedi apprentices, at least not yet.

Ezra was about to confront the young Twi'lek and Togruta when four more people stormed into the training room. There were two young human women who were seventeen, a sixteen year old Togruta male and a human male who couldn't be more than fourteen.

The two human females charged forward, the two males following close behind them. One of the women was shorter than Luke, athletically built, fair skinned; cropped auburn hair and a short braid, and cold blue-gray eyes. The other woman was a few inches taller, lean and slender with orange skin, brown hair back in a ponytail and slender braid over her shoulder, blue eyes, and had facial markings similar to Ahsoka.

The auburn haired women's Jedi robes and hair were soaked, causing her boots to squish as she walked across floor.

The auburn haired woman glared at the children, causing them to scream and hide behind Ezra. Ezra got between the children and the auburn haired woman as the brown haired woman held her back.

"Let go of me Mina. Let me go." demanded the auburn haired woman.

Mina, the brown haired woman, tightened her grip on her fellow Padawan.

"I let you go when you calm down, Katana. What my sister and Cham did was wrong, but that doesn't give you the reason to obliterate them. Besides, I'm not so sure Master Tano or Senator Bonteri would not appreciate their daughter being killed. I'm sure Master Caleb and Captain Hera would also like their son to be in one piece when they get back to the Temple." exclaimed Mina.

The woman called Katana growled but forced herself to calm down. Mina released the other woman, who shot her an ugly look.

With the two young women's attention momentarily elsewhere, Ezra turned his focused to the Twi'lek boy and Togruta girl still hiding behind him.

"Cham Syndulla-Dume, Annie Bonteri-Tano, can you please tell me why Katana wants to kill you before she actually does?" sternly asked Ezra.

Cham, the Twi'lek boy, shuttered under Ezra's stern gaze. Despite Ezra's normally comic and kind nature, the young Padawan could be intimidating when he wanted to be.

"It's not what you think. Annie dragged me into doing it. I just wanted to go to the hangar and wait until mom and dad got back." said Cham.

"Thanks for selling me out, Cham. And you know you didn't have to come with me if you didn't want to. You might be a year older, but you sure make it easy for me to take charge." rebutted Annie.

Ahsoka, who had been listening in on the conversation, saw that her youngest daughter and fellow Jedi's son would be of no help. So instead, she turned to the sixteen and fourteen year old males who had remained silent thus far.

"Sky, Steel, my sons, can you please tell me what Annie and Cham did and why your sister had to keep Master Kenobi's daughter from killing them?" calmly asked Ahsoka.

Sky, the elder of two the brothers, was the first to step forward and offer an explanation to what was going on with his younger sister and her friend. Ahsoka noticed her son's lean muscled body tense, running a hand over his long blue and white stripped lekku like he always did when he was distressed. The Togruta Jedi also saw how her son's pale skin was flushed, blue eyes blazing with suppressed rage.

"Sky, is there something you was to tell me?" wondered Ahsoka.

"Annie and Cham pulled their prank just before Katana was going to show me something in my workshop after we'd finished working on some the ships. We were just about to leave the hangar when Annie and Cham pulled their prank." spoke Sky.

All the while he talked, Sky's face darkened. Steel laughed at his older brother's embarrassment. Sky's intense glare locked with the pale blue eyes of his younger brother. The muscular fourteen-year-old boy stepped back, face paling match the tone of his white facial markings. Steel scratched his dark haired head, fingering his Padawan braid with one hand and the hem of his Jedi robe with the other. The short, compact boy was frozen until his brother turned back to their mother and once again spoke.

"Anyway Steel found me and Katana in my work-space and told me his master wanted to speak with me. Petro doesn't usually call for my assistance so I went with Steel to the hangar. Katana came with us. She doesn't like being left behind. It turns out Petro had bought a few upgrades for his wife's ship and he wanted me to install them before she and Mina got back to the Temple as a surprise for Republic Day." explained Sky.

"It took Master weeks to find those parts. I'm just glad that he did. Katooni's going to be so surprised when she sees it." interrupted Steel.

Sky shot Steel another glare and the younger of the two male's jaw snapped shut. With no further interruptions, Sky continued telling what had transpired in the hangar.

"As I was saying, I had started putting in the upgrades on Katooni's ship like Petro wanted, but Katooni and Mina had come back to the Temple early. Petro was in a flurry and wanted me to hide. So I ducked into the ship and that's when Annie and Cham unleashed their prank. They were planning to drop a bucket of water from the, but they couldn't get a clear view to make the shot. I think they were aiming for Steel and Petro, but the water ended up on Katana when they fell from the vent. Katana ran after them in a rage, and Mina, Steel and I ran after Katana to keep her from killing the two." concluded Sky.

Ahsoka made her decision on what to do. Grabbing her daughter and Cham by the back of their tunics, Ahsoka left the training room and went to find Cham's parents so they could deal the children's punishment together. Mina and Steel went back to their masters, each trying to think of a way to explained what had happened without giving away Petro's surprise for Katooni. Sky was about to drag Katana out of the training room when the daughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi locked eyes with Mara Jade.

"What are you looking at Jade?" spat Katana.

"Nothing, Kryze-Kenobi. I'm just surprised that you, the daughter of the great Obi-Wan Kenobi, managed to be pranked by a couple of initiates." joked Mara.

Katana was fuming. It took all of Sky's strength to keep his hold on Katana, and even then he suspected she was just letting him hold her back.

"Didn't you hear what Sky said? The prank wasn't aimed at me. I merely got caught in the crossfire." stated Katana.

"Still, you always brag about being able to sense everything through the Force. Maybe you should pay more attention to your Master and father's teachings. Perhaps then you could have avoided being hit by that water." scoffed Mara.

"I'm sorry not all of us can be trained by the Chosen One and be dating the son of the Supreme Chancellor." snapped Katana.

"You leave my Master and Luke out of this." warned Mara.

"You're the one who started this, Jade." swore Katana.

"Is that a challenge?" growled Mara.

"It is if you're saying it." replied Katana.

The two girls reach for their lightsabers and all hell broke loose.
