This fic will end on chapter 31. I just finished writing chapter 31 last night and it nearly killed me. Disclaimer- I don't own Star Wars the Clone Wars or any of its characters.


Chapter 23

Anakin POV

The group of Jedi decided to take a break after that. Anakin was pretty sure that everyone else in the room thought that he needed a break.

He did.

Besides it'd been a while and most of the clones were in the cafeteria getting food. Anakin decided to head that way and deal with his thoughts.

Plo Koon seemed to have had the same idea because he was following Anakin. When Anakin realized this he slowed down so that the two of them could walk beside each other.

"So the rest of the memories are her meeting me? They're of me thinking I know everything about her when in reality I know nothing?" Anakin was a bit angry and so what? He had the right to be. He knew absolutely nothing about his Padawan and some of the things he didn't know could've endangered her life in certain situations.

He didn't blame Ahsoka though. He understood why she didn't tell him. She was embarrassed. She was mad that she couldn't be normal. It's how Anakin used to feel.

Still he deserved to be told. Whether it was from The Order of just a single Jedi Master, someone should have told him.

Plo Koon looked at Anakin as they walked, "You have the right to be mad Skywalker."

"You're damn right I do," Anakin spat.

"Anakin, you do know Ahsoka. She's your Padawan."

"Really? Because that's not at all what I've been seeing through the Tristakine." Anakin had to stop for a second. He leaned up against the wall and tried to clear his mind.

"What you've been seeing through the Tristakine is the history of a girl who just wants to forget. She was different starting the moment she met you Anakin."

When Anakin didn't respond Plo Koon continued. "Right before we sent her to meet you I spoke to her. I told her that she was going to be your Padawan and she would trust her life with you. I also told her that eventually, you would trust your life with her too. Is that not the case? Your Padawan is still your Padawan despite whatever past she had, you still trained her how to survive and be a better Jedi. Her history changes none of that."

He was right. Anakin was being selfish. Yes, he still should've known but there's nothing he can do about it now except throw a fit. The only important thing right now is that Ahsoka is in a coma. She may die and Anakin is off throwing a tantrum instead of being by her side. His Padawan needed him.

Anakin still had one question. "She was shy when she was at the Temple all the time. Why was she so different when she met me?"

"Why was she so open?" Plo Koon rephrased the question. "I told her that she had nothing to lose. I said that you were about as close to having the same personality as her as she would get. There was no point in being shy."

The Jedi Knight pondered on how similar he was to his apprentice. After so long, he did see the similarities. Anakin smiled to himself but was interrupted when his com turned on.

He looked and saw that he was being called to the medical bay. Anakin looked up to see Plo Koon receive the same message.

Something was happening to Ahsoka.


The Jedi rushed to Ahsoka's room in the medical bay as fast as they could. When they arrived at the main entrance there was a loud high pitched scream echoing through the halls. Anakin immediately recognized it as his Padawan's voice.

He ran to where he knew her room was and froze in the doorway. Nurses were jumbled around Ahsoka's bed but Anakin and Plo Koon could still get a view of what was happening.

Ahsoka was flailing spastically on the bed. She seemed to still be unconscious and at first Anakin thought it was another seizure. This was different than a seizure though. Ahsoka's movements were slower. She would only lurch in a certain direction every few seconds.

One nurse stepped back from all of the others and went to Anakin and Plo Koon who were still standing in the doorway. "She's detoxing," she explained. "A majority of the toxins are making their way out of her system and not being replaced. Her body is having a negative response to the process."

"Is she going to be okay?"

The nurse considered the question, "Well-"

Her voice was stopped when the room was filled with a new noise. Ahsoka's terrible screams were no longer heard. They'd stopped and in their place was the sound of ECG. It was one long coherent sound. Ahsoka's heart had stopped.

Dr. Reed ran past the Jedi and into the room. "I need a crash cart in here!"

A cart was brought in and Anakin watched in horror as the doctor tried to revive Ahsoka. Anakin had to face the possibility in those few seconds that she may be gone. That may be the end. He was thinking about that a lot lately. He had to.

Today was not the day though. No, the crash cart worked and Ahsoka's heart beat was back to normal. Anakin let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Plo Koon do the same.

Not only was Ahsoka alive, she was awake. Anakin saw this as the nurses scattered and left the room.

The Jedi Knight rushed over to the nearest chair and pulled up beside his Padawan's bed. He looked down at Ahsoka's tired face.

Her voice came out low and weak. "So-this is still real?"

Anakin smiled down at his Padawan. It was then that he saw how she really looked. She was thin (thinner than she ever was before), tired, and weak. She looked like she couldn't even lift a finger on her own.

"Yeah, it's real Snips," assured Anakin.

"And I'm alive. That's probably a good sign."

Anakin gave a small smile, "It is."

Dr. Reed spoke from the corner of the room. "Actually," her voice caused the stop of all the others. "There's a really good chance that you'll be fine from here."

Anakin's eyes widened, "That's great news."

Dr. Reed nodded and left the room. Anakin looked back to his Padawan and Plo Koon was still in the corner of the room.

"I have to leave for a mission," explained Anakin. "It'll only be a week." He seemed to be talking more to himself, "Still maybe I shouldn't go…"

Ahsoka tried to wave a hand in the air but failed when he hand was too weak to move. "Go, I'll be fine. Unless you want to take me with you?"

Anakin glared at her. His expression asked if she was insane for asking to go on a mission in her state.

Ahsoka gave a weak shrug, "You can't blame me for trying."

"No, I can't. It's what I would do if I were you."

Ahsoka struggled to keep her eyes open. Anakin could see how close sleep was to taking her. "Sleep. You need to rest if you're ever going to be on your feet again."

The young girl nodded slightly and relaxed in the bed. Anakin took his Padawan's hand and gave it a small squeeze. "I'll see you Sky-Guy."

"I'm happy you're alive Snips." He left the room with Plo Koon following behind him.

When he stood in the doorway he looked back at the girl who was now surely sleeping. His Padawan was alive. All was right in the world.

Ahsoka POV

Her Master was gone for two weeks actually. And in that time Ahsoka had a few visitors. Plo Koon came to see her often and occasionally Padme would come in too. It was nice for Ahsoka to see some familiar faces. She was sure that Anakin made Padme check up on her for him while he was away.

One day about a week and a half after Anakin left for his mission, Ahsoka was alone in her room. Normally she would just go back to sleep when this happened but right then she felt fully rested. The nurses told her that if she was ever lonely she could call them in to talk. Ahsoka pondered on doing this but decided against it. The nurses had more important work to do.

Finally she decided to try standing up. It was a hard process but in time she was able to get on her feet. Her feet were wobbly underneath her. After a bit of experimenting on her feet, Ahsoka was able to walk out of the room dragging her drip line next to her.

She made her way to the cafeteria. It was nice to be able to eat real food again and not have a tube feeding it into her stomach. Ahsoka got so many looks from the clones in the cafeteria. She could see why. She was a girl who looked like she could barely stand waiting in the lunch line. It was strange.

Still she didn't care. It felt good to do something herself, for once. No matter how many weird looks she got from the nearby clones.

After that she went to see Master Windu and Yoda in the main meeting room.

She knocked on the door with her one hand that wasn't balancing herself on the drip next to her. The door opened and she walked in.

Master Windu and Master Yoda were sitting in their normal seats as Ahsoka walked up to them. "Masters," she greeted.

"Ahsoka." Master Windu greeted back as Master Yoda just nodded. "It's good to see you're healing well."

Ahsoka gave a small smile. "I am. Thank you." She got to the point. "Masters I was wondering if you needed me to report to you what happened."

"Unnecessary it is." Master Yoda said. "Used the Tristakine on you, we did."

"Oh." Ahsoka realized. "Did Master Skywalker see the Tristakine too?"

"Yes." Replied Master Windu.

Ahsoka didn't know how she felt about this. Anakin had seen her life. She thought about it more after she nodded goodbye at the Jedi Masters and left the room.


A/N- I'm having a great day. My best friend and I are watching Parks and Recreation. Life is good.

On another note, as I said before the story, this fic will end on chapter 31. I also apologize if any of my medical terms are off. I'm not a doctor so, sorry.
