Hey guys! Welcome to chapter 20! Wow 20 long chapters, seems like just yesterday I was starting this story! But past behind us, I have come up with a little bit of a plot for a possible sequel to this story! I can't say much because I don't want to ruin the surprise ;) but any ways, spoilers for this story! Something will happen to Ahsoka and it will change Lux's life….

Ahsoka's ship came to a slow stop as she exited the blue tunnel of stars known as hyper space. She was exhausted from her journey but she couldn't let her friend suffer any longer, she had to help him.

She flew down into the Coruscant atmosphere. The air was foggy and quite cold and she struggled to keep the viewing glass from fogging up, but she pressed forward until the jedi hangars were finally in view.

"Finally, home at last!" She said smiling to herself as she flew closer to the hangar.

She flew her jedi star fighter into the hangar slowly, she had a lot on her mind! She had to pick up the twilight, meet Padme at the landing platforms, and save Lux before anything else bad could happen to him.

She landed her ship in its designated area. She hopped out of her ship taking a deep breathe before catching a glimpse of a particular jedi master she was quite fond of.

"Little 'Soka! How are you doing today?" Plo Koon asked in a polite manner.

"Master Plo! It's good to see you!" She said bowing her head in respect,"I have just returned from a mission assigned by Master Kenobi!"

"Oh, how did things go?" Plo Koon asked as he crossed his arms and began to walk.

"Good I guess, I was only gone for two days, I'm not even sure that was considered a mission…" She said as she followed behind him.

"Oh? And why is that?" Plo Koon asked as he came to a halt.

Ahsoka froze in her steps. She trusted Master Plo, but she didn't want to admit she had been struggling with attachment! But he was like a father to her, surely he wouldn't snitch and tell the council. Could she tell him?

"I was out seeking advice from one of Master Kenobi's old friends…" She admitted hoping he wouldn't asked any further questions concerning the matter.

"Oh, it sounds like you have not had it easy the past couple days!" Plo Koon began,"But you are strong, young one! Not all trials will be easy, but all jedi face them, although not all pass, I have faith that you will!"

Ahsoka blushed slightly. She loved she and Master Plo's father-daughter talks. He always knew what to say to make things better.

"Thanks Master Plo, you always know what to say to cheer me up!" She said smiling at the tall masked man.

"Any time little 'Soka!" He said wishing he could return a smile.

"Now, I must be on my way, Senator Padme is awaiting my arrival at the landing platforms." Ahsoka said said beginning to make her way to the twilight.

"Then I need not hold you any longer!" Plo Koon said watching as the slender Togruta slowly walked to the old rusty ship.

"Good bye!" Ahsoka said waving happily at her orange jedi friend.

"Good bye, little 'Soka!" Plo Koon said as he returned the wave.

Ahsoka smiled one last time before turning to take view off the old scarp pile she and her master had stolen from the mercenary temple.

"Ahh, it's been a while since I've last seen you!" She said to the ship,"If only you could talk, oh the stories you could tell!"

She smiled to herself as she uncrossed her arms and walked up the ramp of the old bucket of bolts. Hopefully Padme had more patiences than Anakin.

She sat down in the pilot seat as she sighed heavily.

"Lets get started!" She said revving up the engines to the old space shuttle. She had to admit, now that Anakin had made a view minor adjustments to the engine, although ugly, the was ship wasn't as bad as before.

The ship was slowly lifted off the ground and angled towards the hangar door. Ahsoka took off across Coruscant to the landing platforms.

Padme stood patently waiting for Ahsoka. She had expected her to be late so she didn't arrive exactly on time either, but now she was starting to get worried.

"Even when I'm late as well, she still seems to always be later!" Padme said to herself as she crossed her arms.

But finally, the twilight came into view!

"It's about time!" Padme said exhaling heavily as she unfolded her arms and began to walk towards the ship.

Ahsoka noticed the look on Padme's face and could tell immediately that she was not happy. She must not be a happy sport either!

The ramp lowered to the ground slowly as Ahsoka made her way down. Padme stood in a pose that let Ahsoka know she was slightly irritated, but Ahsoka had an excuse this time, unlike all the other times she had been late.

"Where have you been?" Padme asked raising an eyebrow as she crossed her arms.

Ahsoka raised her eyemarks as she placed both hands on her chest,"Your blaming this on me?"

Padme dropped her arms to her side,"Who else am I going to blame it on?"

Ahsoka turned her back on Padme as she crossed her arms and threw her nose in the air,"Before you go complaining , I'd like to say I ran into Master Plo in the hangar bay."

Ahsoka took a peak over her shoulder hoping she had put a dent in Padme's feelings for having over reacted. It worked.

Padme felt bad for having almost yelled at Ahsoka for her tardiness when it was something she could not have controlled,"Ahsoka, I'm sorry, I didn't know!"

"Next time, think before you speak!" She said smiling as she turned back to Padme.

Padme returned the smile quickly,"Well, arguments aside, lets go save your boyfriend!"

Ahsoka huffed intensively,"Do you and Master Skywalker plan to annoy me!? He is NOT my boyfriend!"

Padme laughed hardily,"Ahsoka, you know I'm only kidding! I under stand that you and Lux are only friends… for now…"

Ahsoka rolled her eyes as she placed her hands on her hips,"Can we just get on with the mission?"

Padme smiled again,"Sure!"

Padme and Ahsoka walked up the ramp of the ship side by side. Padme could tell that where ever Ahsoka had been that it had changed her, but she couldn't seem to find what part of her had changed.

"What happened on your previous mission?" Padme asked narrowing her brows on the small Togruta.

Ahsoka stopped before turning to Padme,"First, I wouldn't really call it a mission, Master Kenobi only sent me to have a special training session with an old jedi friend of his."

"Ahsoka, you know what I mean, there's something different about you, but I can't seem to put my finger on it!" Padme said as she crossed her arms.

"Well…" Ahsoka began as she started to walk up the ramp again,"I feel it is my duty as a jedi, to follow the jedi code…even when it comes to relationships…"

Ahsoka stared down at the floor thinking of all the fun she and Lux could have if things could only work out, but after seeing the position Master Sage was in, she planned on sticking to the jedi code 100 percent!

"What?" Padme gasped,"But you and Lux are ment for each other! Can't you see that?"

Padme grasped Ahsoka by the shoulders staring her dead in the eyes. She didn't understand Ahsoka sometimes, but this time she really didn't. Even her Master had admitted that he thought they were ment to be together.

"Yes, but duty comes first, and it is my duty as a jedi to follow my commands as long as I live..." Ahsoka admitted lowering her head.

Padme realized now. Ahsoka was growing up! She was taking responsibility for her actions and doing what she knew must be done! She was now a young women!

"Ahsoka, you've grown up!" Padme said in a slightly sad tone. Just as Anakin had grown up, Ahsoka was now doing the same.

"No one stays a kid forever..." Ahsoka said as her lekku darkened in embarrassment. She had never had a talk like this before, and to her, it was weird! Padme was now like the mother she never had, and the mother she had always wanted!

Padme's eyes began to water up. Ahsoka was like the daughter she always wished she could have, but she and Anakin had agreed never to become parents for their secret would be revealed by the babies blood and DNA.

"Ahsoka, I am so proud of you!" Padme said taking her into a hug,"You aren't that little 14 year old, snippy girl that Anakin introduced me to on Naboo!"

Ahsoka began to get this weird sinking feeling in her stomach. She had only had a feeling like this once before when Master Kenobi turned up supposedly dead. But not only was her stomach falling in, but she found her eyes watering for some reason.

"Ahsoka, it's ok to cry.." Padme said wiping tears off of her own face.

"But I'm a jedi, jedi aren't suppose to show emotion…" She said stilling fighting tears.

"Put the code aside for now, you are a teenage girl growing into a young women, emotion is all you will experience in the next few years of your life!" Padme said smiling slightly.

"Gee, thanks for the heads up!" Ahsoka said rolling her eyes as a smile grew on her face.

"Now, lets get going, we have Lux to save!" Padme said smiling as she pulled away from Ahsoka.

"Yeah, we better save him before he upsets Dooku and gets himself killed!" Ahsoka said laughing.

The two walked into the control room and took their seats at the pilot and co-pilot seats as the ship lifted off the ground and made its way into space.

Wow! Sorry for the wait guys! I have started another story with AhsokaTano141516 as well as a story I had to write for school, so I have been busy! Anyways, I thought it would be cool to make Padme a role model for Ahsoka this chapter, but not as padme, but as the mother Ahsoka never had. I don't know how you feel about that, but I thought it played out nicely! Please review!
