Chapter 6: Eventful Evening

The rest of the day passed with as little mayhem as possible. Only eventful thing other than singing Driveshaft's "You All Everybody" was when Tori gave Obi-wan a 'weegee stare'. It scared him a little.

The girls had changed into their pajamas and were sitting on the couch. Charlie was happy with his black hoodie on once more, Obi-wan was commenting on the obsqurity of the television, and Anakin was quiet.

Ashley pulled her knees up, pulling the bottom of her sweatpants over her ankles slightly. She glanced over at Tori, who yawned. "Where we gunna put everyone?" Ashley asked quietly.

"Well," Tori began, "no one's going in my room." She laughed a little and Ashley sent her a half glare. "Someone can have the couch. Maybe the floor…"

"I could give up my bed," Ashley offered. Tori sent her a curious look. "I'll sleep on the floor of my room," she said flatly.

"Ri-ght," Tori said in an unbelieving tone.

She got up and said, "Well who's' got dibs on the couch?" Tori put her hands in the pockets of her green hoodie.

"Master, why don't you sleep on the couch?" Anakin suggested.

"Someone can sleep in my bed if they want," Ashley stated. The three men went silent. 'Awkward way of saying that…' "I meant," she sighed, "I'll be on the floor and someone can sleep in the bed."

"A bed?" Charlie asked with shock. "I haven't slept in a bed for nearly two months."

Tori nodded and stood up. "You've got a winner Ash." She turned and walked into her room, shutting the door behind her.

Obi-wan sat in the spot Tori was previously in. "We'll just sit. Then you don't have to sleep on the floor Anakin."

"Yes master," Anakin nodded as he stood. Ashley moved aside and he took her spot. "Good night," he smiled at Ashley.

Ashley smiled back at him as she pulled the end of her red shirt down. "Night Anakin." She sat down as she walked into her room. Charlie followed and shut the door. Ashley grabbed a notebook and pen from her desk. She sat on the floor, leaning against the end of her bed.

"What're you writing?" Charlie asked, sitting on the bed.

"Hm? I'm just writing what went on today."

"I have a friend on the island who does that… Except she's quite often mad at me."

'Must be talking about Claire.' Ashley wrote quickly, nodding as she listened to Charlie. She got up and returned the book and pen to her desk once more. Standing in the middle of her small bedroom with her hands on her hips, Ashley assessed the wall behind Charlie. It was covered in her favorite characters and fandoms. With a smile, she walked over to her bed and pulled a pillow off, along with a blue fleece blanket. Out of the corner of her eye, Ashley noticed Charlie pulling off his shoes. 'Still a little unreal…' She tossed the pillow on the floor and laid down, covering herself with the fleece blanket.

"You're really going to sleep on the floor?" she heard him ask.

"I used to do it all the time when I was little," she told him while staring at the ceiling. She never noticed its color: a very light green. Compared to the beige walls, the ceiling looked almost enchanting.

Ashley rolled to her side; her back facing the bed. There were a few minutes of silence until she heard Charlie say, "There's plenty of room if you wanna sleep up here…"

She stayed still, wondering if she should. 'Bed would be more comfortable to sleep on…' With a sigh, Ashley threw off the blanket and got to her feet, picking up both the pillow and the blanket in the process. When she turned, Charlie was lying on the bed with his hood up, smiling warmly at her. She trudged over to the opposite side of the bed and put the pillow down. She held onto the blanket as she crawled in next to him, leaving plenty of space between them. Ashley shut her eyes and rolled onto her side once more.

"Ashley?"

"Hmm?" she responded, craning her neck to look over her shoulder.

"Thank you," Charlie said.

"Welcome," she said with a half smile before turning back over and going to sleep.

---

She could faintly hear voices. They sounded panicked and alarmed. Ashley opened her eyes a little bit before rubbing them. When she opened them fully, she was cuddled up against Charlie, who had an arm around her. "Err…"

The voices shouted more and the door burst open. "Ashley!"

Looking towards the door, Ashley saw Anakin with a surprised expression. He cleared his throat, seeming to be regaining his poise, and said, "There's a situation in Tori's room."

Ashley nodded and put a finger to her lips. She slid out of Charlie's reach, causing him to stir slightly. When she stood up, she asked, "What time's it?"

"Eleven. I couldn't sleep so I was watching the rooms," Anakin explained as they walked to Tori's room. "I sensed something and now…" He opened the door. Ashley was speechless.

Tori was sitting on her bed, grinning and holding a small blue creature. She laughed, then cooed at it before the creature spit a little bit of water at her in a playful manner. "Mudkip!" it shouted.

Ashley frowned. "Tori, we promised."

Not looking at her, Tori said, "That was broken when Charlie arrived."

With a huff, Ashley said, "Whatever. Keep it in this room only!" She pulled the door shut, and then looked up at Anakin. "Sorry."

"Did I mention she also managed to send Obi-wan away?"

Ashley gasped. "How?"

"She shouted 'Obi-wan, come back' with his card," Anakin told her with scorn in his voice. "Can you bring him back?"

She frowned at the young Jedi. "Anakin…"

"Please," he begged while taking a step closer. "In this world, he is the one familiar thing."

"Look, I-"

"Please!" Anakin demanded. He put his hands on either side of her arms. "I beg of you."

Ashley sighed. "Anakin… I'm sorry."

He seemed to shudder and yanked his hands from her. "Then send me back."

"What?"

"Send. Me. Back. I only want to go home," he spoke with certain desperation in his voice.

She gave him a small smile. "Ani," Ashley said softly, "do you really want to?" Anakin seemed somewhat surprised by the use of his childhood nickname, but nodded. "Alright." She wandered over to the coffee table where all the cards were laid out. Ashley picked up Anakin's card and held it out. "Ready?"

He nodded and told her, "For everything you've done, thank you." Anakin bowed slightly. "Call me and Obi-wan back sometime," he smiled.

With a nod, Ashley said, "Will do. Bye."

"Goodbye."

"Anakin, return!" Ashley said loudly. A flash of light occurred and then he was gone. She looked around the room with a morose feeling. 'It worked.' She put the card back down on the table before turning to go back into her room. 'Wonder when Charlie will beg for us to send him back...' Ashley watched him from the doorway silently. She shook away the pessimistic thought and walked over to the side of the bed. She crawled in and huddled up next to him. 'Hopefully, not anytime soon.'
