IF you want to know what happened on Hoth, or learn more about this Daryan [Onasen's pupil as I keep referring to him as] then check out Lurkor's story called Forbidden Emotion! It's an Ahsoka x OC pairing so if you read his story, you'll know why Ahsoka is so torn up about what happened on Hoth. It goes more into depth on who Jaden Onasen is and other things I probably don't go into much detail on. Check it out! He's a great writer! :]

"I assume the Hoth mission went well?" Aislinn asked Anakin when she saw him when she was back at the Jedi Temple.

Anakin looked away. Ahsoka looked like she was about to cry at the mention of Hoth. Aislinn realized she had most definitely asked the wrong question.

Anakin cleared his throat, glancing once at Ahsoka before looking back at Aislinn. "It was a trap. We were sold out to Grievous. Onasen's pupil sacrificed himself so that we may escape." Anakin then pulled Aislinn aside and out of earshot of the Padawans while Dominic did his best to cheer Ahsoka up. "And I'm worried about Ahsoka. She's taking this a bit too harshly. No Jedi-in-training should be feeling this much grief. It's unhealthy."

Aislinn looked at Ahsoka herself. Her grief was so immense Aislinn thought she could almost feel it. "Did you talk to the Jedi Council? Surely they can help."

Anakin shook his head. "Master Yoda can tell, anyway. I can only hope she sticks to her teachings and lets this go."

"That boy was dangerous," Aislinn concluded. "I really don't think he should have been allowed to run around and spread his beliefs to our young, impressionable Jedi. At least Ahsoka was able to experience the negative sides to love and why we are told to keep away from it."

Crossing his arms, Anakin once more looked at Ahsoka, who had at least cracked a smile from Dominic's boyish charm. "Ahsoka is a strong-willed girl. She can get past this. Tomorrow's mission will be distracting. And I certainly hope this isn't because she fell in love with that boy."

Changing the subject, Aislinn asked, "And where exactly are we going? No one has debriefed me yet. I was at a limmie game and –"

Anakin laughed. "You were at a limmie game?"

Aislinn threw him a haughty look. "Dominic wanted to go. And that's besides the point."

Anakin's face finally grew serious. "Alderaan."

Aislinn waited for more, but Anakin said nothing. "And what are we doing there? Surely they can't be too happy about receiving help from our Clone Army."

"And that's why we're not bringing the whole army. There's word that General Grievous might be up to something. He's not too happy about the exiles from other Separatist Planets taking refuge on that world."

"If Grievous is involved, I am not sure taking your Padawan is a good idea..."

"She'll be fine." Anakin answered almost too quickly.

"Alright," Aislinn said compliantly. She wasn't about to start an argument about someone else's Padawan. It was his responsibility. Hers was Dominic. Ahsoka was none of her business. "When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

She turned to leave, before remembering one more thing. "You said we weren't taking the whole army. How many are we taking then? Just Torrent Company?" What she really meant was: Is Rex coming?

"Just Rex and a few others. It's not all that big of a mission." He then smiled at her. "And definitely not too much five Jedis can't handle."

Aislinn smiled back. She then turned to Dominic. "Come along, Padawan. We have to prepare for tomorrow."

Short chapter, but if I wanted to add a bunch more, then it would end up being too long. So Alderaan, here we come! Time to get into some juicy Aislinn/Rex stuff!
