I'm having SO much fun with this fic! :D Thanks to Neon Templar and MandoJedi for reviewing! Please review and do my poll! I live on reviews! :D

A month later...

For the ninth time that day Del hit the wall with her head.

"The council is going to wonder why you have a bunch of bruises."

Del rolled her eyes at Barriss and spoke into her comlink. "You two are old enough to resolve your differances. If you want to pull pranks on each other than do. But if you can't handle someone else pulling pranks on you don't pull pranks on them. Capiche?"

"Yes master."

"Yes sir."

"They're STILL playing pranks on each other?"

"Yes; they just can't seem to stop. Neither of them want pranks played on them but they love playing pranks on each other. It's getting ridiculous."

"Why?"

"Get a padawan that won't give up no matter what and you'll understand, Barriss."

Barriss laughed, "I just became a knight. I'm definitely NOT ready for a padawan."

"Besides they both wine whenever they get a prank played on them."

Barriss smiled, "Maybe they'll get over it."

"That's like hoping Master Windu will smile at Anakin."

Barriss laughed, "You are absolutely right. Are you going to ban them from playing pranks?"

"I may have too. I'd better go, the council is in DIRE need of me."

"Good luck."

"I'll need it." Del walked over to the turbolift and got in. They hadn't asked Fire/sspray to come this time and Del was grateful. She wasn't sure she could get through a meeting without strangling the petite twi/lek. For such a small girl she could certainly cause a lot of trouble. Then she smiled, if she had brought her, she would have drove the council nuts. Maybe Shaak was back rather than in hologram form. Nah, she couldn't be; she never was.

Del walked into the room and bowed to the masters.

Master Yoda spoke first, "Trouble there is. Attacked the separatists have."

Master Windu spoke next, "Not a small bunch. They must have sent half of their army there."

Then Master Mundi spoke, "Which would explain why everywhere else was practically unprotected."

Del bit her lip to not yell, TOLD YOU! Instead she looked over at Kit Fisto and exchanged a look with him that meant, why don't they ever listen to me? He struggled to keep from smiling.

"We are sending you two and your apprentice there to deal with them. If you need more help call us."

Del didn't remember them saying who was going with her. She was about to ask when the council dismissed. The holograms turned off and the members left Del standing there looking confused. Kit walked over and chuckled at her facial expression.

"You look rather funny."

"I'm trying to figure out what I missed while I was looking at you."

"Nothing, they didn't say anything."

"They didn't? I missed something."

"No, they missed something. They didn't tell you anything."

"Oh, that's a relief I thought I missed something. Can I have my lightsaber back now?"

Kit turned, "Your lightsaber? I don't have it I only have mine."

"Actually you don't have yours you have mine." Kit looked down at his belt and then at her. His lightsaber was in her hand.

"If you would like it back, you have to give me mine."

"Fine," he pulled her lightsaber out of the sleeve of his cloak and handed it to her and in turn she handed him his. He started to walk out of the room when she called after him.

"Who am I going with?"

"Me," said a soft, familiar voice.

"SHAAK!" she squealed.

"What, no hug?" Shaak put on her pouting face. It didn't remain there for long. Shaak wrapped Del in a bear hug.

"I thought you were a hologram."

"I'm not."

"Where are we going?"

"They were terribly distracted today. We are going to Shili."
