"Alex? You there?" asked Ahsoka into the chilly Ohio evening air.
"Right here." said an Austrailian voice. Alex stepped out of the shadows caused by the sunset. He was carrying a bike. "You have a bike, right?" he asked.
"Oh! Yeah. Let me get it." Ahsoka replied.
Ahsoka had borrowed Lola's bike. It was an old bike, probably from the 70's It had curved handlebars, and was bright yellow. It had a banana seat. Ahsoka and Lola had washed it off in the garage with the garden house that afternoon.
Ahsoka pulled the bike out of her garage.
"Here she is!" she said proudly.
"I like it." Anakin said. The two took off on their bikes. Ahsoka followed Anakin, or who she thought was Alex, towards the pond he had told her about.
They reached the pond, and leaned their bikes against a tree. They both sat down on the rocky shore.
"Do you like it?" asked Alex.
"Yeah. I love nature." said Ahsoka. Ahsoka felt like she was with family, or someone she knew well. She felt comfortable, and happy. Very... happy.
"Alex, I have a feeling we are going to be very good friends." said Ahsoka. Alex fell silent.
"Do feel it too?" he asked.
"Feel what?" replied Ahsoka.
"This weird, tingling sensation in your body. Sort of like the Force... from Star Wars." he said.
He knew that you felt the Force inside other people, if they were strong with it. But no one from Earth had the Force. Only the people that joined him on the mission had it, except for Padm'e, of course. He could sense the Force in Jeanie, but she was an Earthling, wasn't she?
"Yes." he heard Jeanie reply. He snapped out of his trance.
"You do?" he said, sounding surprised.
"It is like the Force. In fact, I can sense that you have it."
"What do you mean, sense?" asked Anakin.
"Alex, I know, that you know, that I was on a mission. You were on that mission, too. The only boy on that mission was Anakin Skywalker. YOU are Anakin Skywalker." she said.
Anakin was shocked. Jeanie was someone from his mission. But who? Barriss? Padm'e? Or... Ahsoka? He turned towards her. He looked closely at her face. Her eyes were the brightest shade of blue, glistening in the setting sun's light. He recognized those eyes. He knew them. They belonged to noly one person.
"Snips!" he screamed. He wrapped his arms around the girl he had only met that morning. "I can't believe it's you!" he screamed again. Ahsoka laughed.
"Calm down, Skyguy!" she yelled at him, still laughing. Anakin smiled.
"Skyguy. IT IS YOU!" he yelled. He stopped hugging her. Only 10 more months, Snips. Then we go home." he said.
Ahsoka sighed. "Yep. I'm so glad it's you. I'm glad to know I have some one. Some one from the same world as me." she said.
"I agree, Snips." replied Anakin.
In the bushes, Padm'e hid, ready to step out. But she was to shocked to act. Alex was Anakin. Jeanie was Ahsoka. The little freak, was... actually a little freak in her real world, too. But... she just couldn't believe what she had heard. She ran away, back to her home. Well, back to her temporary home. For now.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Anakin and Ahsoka walked into school together. Cho approached them.
"Greetings, fellow students." she said.
"Greetings, Cho." said Ahsoka, giggling. Then she felt it. The same tingling sensation she had felt when she was around Anakin. The Force. Cho had been on the mission as well.
She glanced at her Master. He nodded, he felt it too.
"Cho, come with us!" they both said. They grabbed Cho by the arms and dragged her into a closet.
Cho shook them off when they had closed the door.
"What was that for?" she asked.
"We know that you're either Padm'e or Barriss." Anakin said. Cho looked surprised.
"We were on your mission. It's me, Ahsoka." said Ahsoka.
"And Anakin." added Anakin. Barriss smiled.
"Barriss Offee, at your service." said Barriss, as she bowed. She smiled brightly.
"Barriss!" Ahsoka said. All of them hugged.
"I just wonder where Padm'e is..." said Anakin nervously.
"Why do you worry about her so much?" asked Ahsoka, annoyed.
"I don't worry about her!" objected Anakin. Ahsoka and Barriss both gave Anakin a, "Really?" look. Anakin sighed. The three walked out of the closet, and out into Earth once again.
