A Jedi Christmas Wish
Part 2
Ava followed Jedi master Caleb Dume out of the temple to the force tree that was covered in snow.
"Late you are Caleb." Master Yoda said.
"This isn't really." Kanan said. "I'm not Caleb. I haven't been Caleb Dume in fifteen years."
"Changed your name have you? Informed the order you did not." Yoda replied.
"What order? There was no Order to inform. The Jedi were killed." Kanan said.
"He's been talking like this since he got up." Ava told Yoda.
Yoda nodded. "See that I do."
"Where's Ezra or Hera? Maybe they know what's going on." Kanan said.
"Hera? Hera who?" Yoda asked.
"Hera Syndulla my…" Kanan started to say but stopped himself before he could say wife. It was probably not the best thing to tell Yoda of all people he was married. "Friend and pilot."
"Cham Syndulla's daughter?" Yoda asked.
"Yes." Kanan answered.
"Unaware was I meet the two of you had. Fly your own ship you do." Yoda replied.
"Master are you ok?" Ezra asked approaching his master with Depa following him.
Kanan turned hearing Ezra's voice.
"Ezra?" Kanan said. Ezra looked the same as the last time Kanan had last seen him, only this time it wasn't throw the force and their was a padawan braid with three beads, a blue, a green, and a black on it. Kanan grabbed the braid with a worried look. "Where did you get that?"
Ezra looked at his master weirdly.
"Caleb, why don't Ezra and I escort you to the medic hall." Depa said a little concerned.
"Ezra, where is Hera and the rest of our crew?" Kanan asked.
"Master, I don't want you mean. What crew and who's Hera?" Ezra replied.
"Hera's the captain of our ship the Ghost. Do you know where she is or where Sabine, Zeb, and Chopper are?" Kanan said.
"I don't know anyone by any of those names. I've never even heard of the Ghost. Let's go see the medic." Ezra said.
"You don't remember anything." Kanan realized. "How did we meet?"
"I was seven and I stole your lightsaber during a training session. You were still a padawan but we had an instant bond." Ezra replied. "You started training me when I turned fourteen three years ago. This is our third Christmas as master and padawan."
Ava pulled on Caleb's robes. "Master Dume?"
Kanan leaned down to talk to her. "Do you believe me?" He asked.
"Of course. I'm the angel that granted your wish, Kanan Jarrus." The little girl said.
"Why exactly are you a twi lek then if you're the angel that granted my wish?" Kanan asked her.
"Not sure, apparently you're extremely attracted to Twi leks. Although why I'm a youngling is the real question." She answered.
"Makes sense I am married to one." Kanan shrugged. "Now why doesn't Ezra remember anything and why does everyone keep calling me Caleb Dume again?"
"The only way I could give Ezra the life you thought he should have was to save the order." She replied.
"So I never became Kanan and met Hera." Kanan/Caleb said.
"Or the rest of the crew with the exception of Ezra of course." Ava said.
"Master, can we please take you to the medic? We're all really considered about you." Ezra said.
Ava whispered "go, you'll find all of them."
Kanan nodded. He decided it was best to go with the flow. So he was Caleb again. He just had to forget his life as Kanan and everything would go as it should, except he couldn't forget.
"So he's completely fine?" Depa asked.
"Completely at least physically. Mentally I can not confirm." The droid said.
"I'm fine." Caleb insisted.
"No you are not Master." Ezra said.
Caleb got up and walked over to Ezra patting his shoulder. "It was just temporarily."
"Well the Jedi council will have to judge that." Depa said.
"So I have to take a few of my trials again?" Caleb asked.
"You'll do fine master." Ezra said reassuringly.
"It's just to prove that you are in fact mentally well. I've had to do it before as well my old padawan." Depa reminded him.
Caleb looked at Ezra. "One question. Why do you have a black bead?"
"I've gone undercover a few times and I'm the best lock picker in the temple. Remember master." Ezra smiled.
"At an academy." Caleb said.
"And underground with former padawan Ahsoka Tano." Ezra replied.
"That figures." Caleb said thinking about how close Ezra was to Ahsoka in Kanan's life.
"Now can you please explain why you where shocked you could see?" Depa asked.
"In the life I dreamed about I was blinded by…" Caleb wasn't sure how to explain Maul.
"By who?" Depa urged him to continue.
"Maul. He was trying to take Ezra as his apprentice." Caleb answered.
"He tried to kill you. I'll kill him if he tries!" Ezra almost yelled. Depa grabbed him to hold him back.
"Who are you wanting to kill Padawan Bridger?" Obi Wan asked.
"Darth Maul." Depa replied calmly.
Obi Wan froze. "What is his upper half doing now?"
"Looking for a apprentice apparently." Depa replied.
"No he has one picked out already he's just got to get to him." Caleb corrected looking at Ezra.
"According to your vision." Depa said.
"Your padawan?" Obi Wan asked.
Caleb nodded.
"Where do they met?" The two council members both asked.
Caleb didn't know how to answer.
"Malacore was it? Sent you I did?" Yoda asked coming in.
"Is the council meeting in the med hall now?" The droid asked.
"Move this meeting we should. Padawan Bridger you are invited to join us. Continue this discussion in the council's chambers we will." Yoda said.
