"And so I said, IT'S MATING SEASON!" Zeos, Anakin, and Jenna laughed like hyenas. They were in the library at Zeos' house. He had just told one of his many adventures in the outside wasteland with Ahsoka. The Togruta to cook dinner for all of them. She overheard them and chuckled herself at that hilarious, yet gross, memory.

"She actually touched it?" asked Jenna. Zeos was still laughing and couldn't talk, so he just nodded.

"You're kidding," Anakin said

"No I'm not. But let me tell you, Korroh got Karma's painful payback."

"Like how?"

Ahsoka came in and leaned on Zeos chair shoulder. "Like him slipping on the stuff, then landing face first in a pile of it."

Everyone either laughed hard, or laughed while trying to say, "eww."

"Whew," Zeos said, wiping a tear from his eye. "Anyway, is dinner all done?"

"Yes it is." They all began to walk to the dining room. "It was so nice of you to make dinner, Ahsoka," Jenna said.

"Oh, I just grabbed some leftovers and heated them up."

"Leftovers?" Jenna asked. When they finally reached the table, Jenna saw their meal: cheese pizza, cheeseburgers, and fried chicken; all from fast food.

"Oh, uhh…delicious." Jenna wasn't expecting this junk food; she was rather a health nut..

"Sweet!" Zeos said, "The colonel again."

"Again?" Jenna asked as they all grabbed their seats. "You've eaten like this before?"

"Ah crap," Zeos mumbled. Jenna always enjoyed enforcing her ideals.

"Zeos, you know how I feel about your old eating habits."

"Jenna, come on. Give me a break."

"Yeah, Jen," Ahsoka intervened, "Technically, he kept these foods because I only liked these."

"I can see why," Anakin spoke. He could barely say anything because he had half a burger in his mouth. "This stuff tastes great!"

"See? He likes it," Zeos spoke

"He's not my husband." Jenna retorted. Ahsoka and Anakin looked at each other; they knew this would get out of hand fast.

"So, Zeos. How was Ahsoka's training?" Anakin quickly asked. Thank you Zeos thought.

"Oh, it was a breeze with learning our culture," he began. "That probably took only three months."

"But she's been here for almost a year," Anakin spoke.

"Exactly, the other nine was at the Arcanum temple. It was nearly impossible for her to completely learn our arts."

"Well, if you actually trained me," said Ahsoka, snippy as usual.

"I told you, Ahsoka: I don't fight girls."

"It's true, Ahsoka," said Jenna as she grabbed Zeos' hand. "One of his special traits."

Ahsoka rolled her eyes, thinking of the past year with Zeos and wondered how anyone could fall in love for this guy. "So awkward surprises must be another one," she said, "I'm going to have so much to do tomorrow if we're leaving."

"Well, we don't have to leave tomorrow," said Anakin, trying to calm his padawan.

"Besides, your training isn't done yet," Zeos spoke.

"It's not?" everyone nearly shouted.

"Whoops," Zeos said. As usual, he said something at the wrong time.

"What else is there?" Ahsoka asked, "I've passed the trials of body, mind, and spirit."

"Indeed," he responded with a smile. "Both of you are in tip-top, fully-trained condition…"

Jenna and Ahsoka were both confused momentarily, and then both realized what he meant. They stared at each other, then back at Zeos.

"You mean…" Jenna asked.

Zeos reached in his back pocket. "I had originally thought of putting these in some sundaes to surprise you two, but what the hell."

He threw two small objects at the girls. They each caught one and the objects laid in their palms. Anakin peeked over to Ahsoka's item to see what they were; they each held a small, black crystal. Jenna stared growing an enormous smile and enough joy to fill the dining room, but Ahsoka looked and felt as though she was in shock.

"Oh, Zeos thank you!" Jenna shouted and leaped on Zeos. The two would have fallen if Zeos hadn't force pushed his chair forward. "I've been waiting so long for this."

"I know, sweetheart." Jenna moved closer to make-out with Zeos, but he had put his hand in front of her mouth. His eyes were more focused on Ahsoka's reaction. She held a small frown as her eyes laid on her crystal. She looked rather upset and was spacing out.

"Ahsoka?," Zeos said. She shook her head a bit and looked back to Zeos. She didn't want anyone to worry about her; not during a cheerful time as this.

"It's great!" She said almost as loud as Jenna. "Thank you, Zeos. I feel so honored."

Zeos could easily tell she was faking the whole thing, and Ahsoka knew it. Jenna and Anakin, however, believed it hook, line, and sinker. Before Zeos could say anything, Anakin rose.

"This calls for a toast," he said and raised his drink. "To...whatever those crystals mean." Everyone laughed at what Anakin had said.

"Let me try, Anakin," said Zeos. He raised his glass and made a proper toast.

"A toast to Jenna Syde and Ahsoka Tano's success."


Zeos and Jenna were sound asleep; it had been hours since their minor welcoming party. Jenna, as usual, dreamt of her future with Zeos as her husband and her title of, "Empress" serving her well. Zeos' dream, however, was as strange as the ones he's had over the year. He constantly sees an orange tiger, yet they have been extinct since post-war. The dream changes every day; sometimes the tiger runs through a pitch black bamboo forest, other times it fights off poachers.

In this dream, the tiger runs through another dark bamboo forest, white outlines of the bamboo flying across its face. Moments later, the tiger leaps forward and lands in a white crater. It stared forward into the jungle; it hugged the ground as if it was about to pounce on a prey. Suddenly, two bright red eyes opened in front of the tiger's sight. The creature jumped into the crater; it was a white tiger and nearly blended with the ground. They both stood ready to kill the other. The white tiger attacked with her left claw, but the other reached to deflect it. A flash of light appeared as each connected. The tiger leaped to bite its enemy, but the white tiger slapped the fanged face away. Yet another flash of light when they struck. Like flint and steel, light sparked for every strike. Finally, both tigers stood high on their hind legs. They raised their paws and were about to finish the other off. Just as the final blow was to be struck, a flash blinded the sight.

Zeos awoke from the shock; he laid in his bed, eyes wide open. He let out a long sigh as he rose to sit on the side of the bed. Looking over his shoulder, he saw his beautiful wife sleeping in her black nightgown. as he looked at her, a flash of light hit his eye. It surprised him enough to fall off the bed. He landed on the ground with a thud. Jenna slightly turned in the bed from the noise. Zeos got up and checked on her; she was still sound asleep. But merely seconds after getting up, another flash hit his eyes. He shook his head out of the temporary blindness and looked forward with a scowl.

Nothing but the closed shades were in view, but a flash flew in the cracks. Zeos used his mana-weiding to open them. Outside was Ahsoka, out on the roof kneeling against the guestroom window. Her black diamond was twirling over her palm, catching the light from the moon. Her gaze was on the twirling crystal, saddened by the sight. She stopped twirling it and let it fell into her palm.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Zeos asked. Ahsoka jumped and looked to the side. Zeos stood in black jogging pants and a glass six pack of soda in his hand.

"What are you doing up?" Ahsoka asked as Zeos walked to her.

"Well I thought a shooting star was keeping me up, then I saw you and your Black diamond." Ahsoka looked at her Diamond. She thought for a moment then looked at the moon. She blushed a bit at her revelation.

Zeos plopped beside Ahsoka and pulled out two drinks. He popped off the caps with his thumbs and gave a bottle to his Togruta friend.

"Cheers," Zeos said and the two took their separate swigs. However, Ahsoka soon realized that they weren't drinking bottled root beer. She immediately spat out the foul-tasting drink and looked at the label.

"This is beer!" she nearly shouted.

"I know," Zeos said sarcastically.

"Well why are you giving me this?" Zeos had always told her she was too young to drink, so he was proud of this response yet slightly insulted.

"Really?" Zeos said, "Months of asking to have alcohol and now you dont want a beer?"

"No no," Ahsoka replied instantly, "I was just...well, why now?"

"I thought it could help you sleep," Zeos said. She knew she'd never get a chance like this again, so Ahsoka shrugged and took another swig.

"You're nervous, aren't you?" Zeos asked, "I can see it in your eyes."

Ahsoka said nothing but her grip grew tighter on the bottle. Zeos adjusted his sitting position in order to face his apprentice. "What are you afraid of?" he asked.

Ahsoka barely looked at Zeos when she answered. "...Your wife."

Zeos nearly choked on his drink from the surprise After countless coughs, he stared at Ahsoka in shock. Zeos couldn't believe that out of all their adventures, Jenna is what makes Ahsoka nervous. The very thought of it made Zeos chuckle. Ahsoka immediately looked at him with anger; he's laughing at me? she thought.

"Ahsoka," Zeos spoke, "You have nothing to fearm from her."

"Sensei," Ahsoka retorted, "have you heard what her full name sounds like?"

Zeos took a long sigh of annoyance; Jenna's name was one of the reasons Zeos never had another apprentice and it always had bothered him. "Ahsoka, her strength isn't in her name. You're just as strong as she is."

"How do you know?" Ahsoka asked as snippy as usual.

"You're my apprentice just as she is. Why would I teach you any more or less than her."

"Maybe because you hate one of us," Ahsoka replied, and the two laughed. Ahsoka took another swig, but the bottle was empty.

"Can I have another," She asked.

Zeos chuckled at her request. "I gave you one to help you sleep, not get drunk."

Zeos grabbed the empty bottle and added it in the case. "Get to bed," he said, "You got a big day tomorrow; you're representing a whole planet."

After a short laugh, the two said their goodnights. Zeos went back through his bedroom window and Ahsoka laid on the roof. Her fears weren't completely gone, but they were closed for now. She stared upon this world's moon and it's "face." Minutes turned to seconds as Ahsoka looked upon the night sky. She thought of the war, unable to wait for her next battle against the separatists. She also thought of how strong Earth would become when they sided with the republic. Her eyes began to feel heavy and her ideas grew drowzy. She returned to her slumber; a pity that the roof soon became her bed.

Thats it! chapter 11 is complete. This was a bitch because I accidentally left my flash drive in my summer home for almost two weeks. Fortunately it's done and chapter 12 is gonna be great. You guys will know what happened to Earth when Ahsoka explains it to the Jedi council. This chapter could take some time because I need to make sure what to put it and what not to so you guys won't get bored; if all else fails, you guys can just review, asking me to add or remove information. Cya then, dont forget to post a review.

Review, Dammit! I need to be loved. (T_T)
