Arctic here, I am making another story, and I would really appreciate if you would check it out on my page, it's titled 'Our War'

The next chapter for Order 66 and Lucky shall be up soon, but until then have this little bit of a story I'm working on.

~Arctic

Barriss Offee was a quiet padawan, a quiet and thoughtful young lady with blue eyes and olive skin, with diamond tattoos across the bridge of her nose and both cheeks. Now while this girl was quiet, she was very opinionated, though she rarely spoke of them. They were obvious in the way she acted.

Of her opinions only a few were truly important to her:

She wanted to become a jedi knight

She wanted to further her abilities in healing

Attachment was unacceptable for a jedi in any case.

Though attachment was unacceptable, she meant the more extreme cases. Her friendship with Ahsoka was fine, and so was her being what she called 'best friends' with Commander Cody was also. She loved nothing more than to talk with Ahsoka about anything...well everything except boys. Why would they do that? With Ahsoka secretly with Rex and Barriss' views on attachment, the topic had never came up. Though sometimes when she went through villages she would hear girls talking about them, and wonder if she was missing out because of her being a padawan. Though she usually just shook that thought out of her head after a few seconds.

-insert warp to present time where Barriss is-

Barriss stood beside her master, an emotionless look on her face as her master talked with a commoner of the planet, trying to figure out if he knew anything. Barriss looked over and saw a couple of girls that looked to be in their teenage years talking, they held a magazine in their hands. They were pointing to spots in it, talking for a moment, and then breaking out in giggles as if they had just heard the funniest thing in the world. For some reason these girls reminded her of Ahsoka, maybe because they were loud and didn't care who heard and what other people thought of them.

She wanted that magazine.

She was very curious as to what was in it, what was so funny that they had to laugh so loud? What was so damn funny that they had to be so obnoxious? She watched as they finished it, and then dropped it onto the ground and left. Apparently they were now bored and were moving on to something more exciting.

Barriss watched as her master went to follow the commoner as he had told her that there was something related to the separatists that she needed to see. She had given the girl no orders to stay in that spot or follow her so...

Barriss looked around her to see if anyone was watching, no one was. She dashed over to the magazine, picked it up and dashed back within a matter of seconds, the only thing signifying that she had moved was her skirt, which was swaying slightly in the wind. She looked at the cover, reading it thoroughly, to see if there was anything interesting on it. The cover told of the contents inside like, 'Lose 20 pounds in 10 days!', 'Are you and your crush compatible?', 'What kind of girl are you? Cute? Trendy? Sexy? Take the quiz and find out!' She was confused, what kind of information was this? Why did those girls think it was so funny? What was a 'crush' it sounded painful...

Nevertheless, Barriss flipped open the first page, it was an ad for a type of bra, a picture of a teen twi'lek female wearing panties and a bra, the caption saying, 'Comfort for your chest is only achievable with Rezard brand bras' Barriss was horrified, this much skin showing, even Ahsoka was dressed better than this! She hurriedly flipped to the next page, her face turning into a dark green blush. The next wasn't so bad, just some stories that girls sent in, they were on the topic of embarrassing stories and the newpaper rated them from 'It'll blow over by tomorrow' to 'Pack up, leave town and NEVER move back!' Barriss was just starting to read the first story as she saw her master coming back, Barriss knew that she couldn't put the magazine back in time for her master not to notice, so she tucked it into her skirts.

"We're going young one."

"Master?"

"I have to speak to Master Kenobi about the situation here." Barriss trailed behind her master, her mind whirl winding as she thought of the magazine. They boarded the flyer that would bring them to their ship.
