Author's Note: Well here it is. The first chapter of my new fanfic. Hopefully I can do the Star Wars series justice with this fic as well as write some new endings for my favorite characters. Please take the time to review and let me know what you think, it helps me know if you like the story or not. Now without further delay, chapter one.

Chapter One: Feelings Revealed

Former padawan Ahsoka Tano stood facing the council after being falsely accused of bombing the Jedi temple and almost being sentenced to death. She looked at her master as he spoke.

"They're asking you back, Ahsoka" Anakin said as he held out her padawan braid. "I'm asking you back."

She stared at him, then at the braid, for a long time, all the while a battle raged inside her. Should she come back? They accused her of a terrible crime she did not commit and the only one who believed in her was her master. How could she ever trust the order, or herself, again? How could she go back to that? But then there were her feelings to consider. Feelings she had tried extremely hard to hide from everyone, herself included, ever since she had met Anakin. She was in love with him, that much she knew. If she left the order, it would hurt him and she may never see him again. But did he love her back? He cared about her, certainly, but how could he love her? She was just a padawan, a child. There was no way he could feel the same way about her.

While she was having these thoughts, she had begun to reach for the braid, but at the last second, she made up her mind. She closed her Anakin's hand and did her best not to look at the crestfallen expression on his face.

"I'm sorry master, but I'm not coming back" she said. Before anyone could say anything, and before she burst into tears, she turned and walked out of the room.

Anakin couldn't believe what he just heard. How could she just leave like that? Before anyone could stop him, he ran after her, hoping to catch her before she left the temple.

He caught up to her just outside the main doors to the temple. "Ahsoka, wait!" he called out to her. When she didn't stop, he tried again. "Ahsoka, I need to talk to you!" He said as he ran up behind her. This time she stopped and turned around to face him. "Why are you doing this?" he asked.

"The council didn't trust me, so how can I trust myself?" she replied as she folded her arms and looked away from him.

"What about me?" Anakin asked "I believed in you, I stood by you!"

Ahsoka turned back to him. "I know you believe in me Anakin and I'm grateful for that, but this isn't about that. I can't stay here any longer, not now." She turned away from him again. She couldn't bear to see the look in his face.

"The Jedi order is your life, you can't just throw it away like this! Ahsoka, you are making a mistake!" he told her, desperate to get her to stay.

"Maybe" she replied "but I have to sort this out on my own. Without the council…" the next words nearly broke her heart "…and without you."

Then she started to walk away. Anakin knew he couldn't let her leave, it would destroy him. Ever since he had met her, he had gotten a feeling around Ahsoka that he struggled to deny. It was a feeling that, until then, he had gotten around only one other person, Padme. But his feelings for Ahsoka were more powerful than any he ever had for Padme. He was in love with Ahsoka and he knew it. He also knew that, at this point, his only chance to get his young padawan to stay with the Jedi was to confess his love for her and pray that she felt the same way about him.

"Ahsoka please, you can't go" he said "I can't live without you."

Ahsoka stopped. What did he just say? She turned around and looked at him, a confused expression on her face.

Anakin saw her hesitate and knew it was now or never. "I…" he struggled to get the words out. "I love you. I have loved you ever since I first met you. Please don't leave, I don't think I would be able to go on without you in my life!"

For what seemed like an eternity, but was in reality only a few seconds, Ahsoka just stood there trying to comprehend what she was just told. Anakin loved her. He did share her feelings. She was overjoyed by this revelation. There was no way she could leave now. She would stay, for Anakin.

To Anakin's horror, Ahsoka started to cry. He was afraid that she was offended, or worse, by his admission. Before he could say or do anything, however, Ahsoka ran at him, jumped into his arms, and kissed him. Anakin was initially startled by this but quickly returned the kiss and deepened it while wrapping his arms around her. The two of them stood there like that for several seconds, lips pressed together and arms wrapped around each other, not caring in the slightest who might see them. After several more seconds, they broke apart.

"Oh Anakin, I love you too, I've always loved you. Of course I will stay, for you" Ahsoka panted out, then proceeded to kiss him again. This again continued for several seconds until Anakin broke them apart, suggesting they should not be making out in such a public place. Ahsoka agreed with him and the two turned around and walked back into the Jedi temple.

After going back to the Jedi council and explaining that Ahsoka had a change of heart, she was welcomed back into the Jedi order with open arms and was once again made Anakin's padawan. As the two of them were leaving the council chambers, Obi-Wan ran up behind Anakin and wanted to talk to him. Anakin told Ahsoka to go on ahead of him and that he would meet her in their shared quarters. He then turned to Obi-Wan to speak to him.

"Anakin, what did you say to Ahsoka? I was sure she was going to leave for good…" he asked Anakin.

Anakin replied "I just told her the truth. I need her here, we need her here." Anakin tried to keep his affection for his padawan out of his voice but wasn't entirely successful.

"Yes well, whatever you told her, I'm glad you were able to convince her to stay" Obi-Wan said. "She's a good Jedi and it would be a shame to lose her." After that, Anakin turned to follow Ahsoka. Obi-Wan walked away, deep in thought. Something was not right, and he was going to find out what it was.


Anakin walked into the quarters he shared with his padawan and was greeted with a hug and a deep kiss from Ahsoka.

"I think Obi-Wan is suspicious" Anakin told her. "We're gonna have to be careful that we don't let anyone find out about this. If the Jedi council discovers our relationship, we will both be expelled from the order."

"We shouldn't worry about that right now" Ahsoka replied. "I just want to enjoy your company before we have to go off and fight again." Anakin agreed with this and said that they should probably get some rest. It had been a trying day for both of them after all. As they laid down in bed together, Anakin stayed in deep thought. He knew he would have to do something about Padme. He wasn't sure if he still loved her or not, but he knew he was in love with Ahsoka and wanted to be with her. He told himself he would deal with the situation the next day and fell asleep while holding his young padawan.

Author's Note: Well how was that? Is the story good so far? Remember to leave a review telling me your thoughts and if you have any suggestions on how you would like the story to go, I would love to hear them too. I know this chapter came out fairly quickly but don't get used to it. I will not always be able to update the story this fast. Until next time, thanks for reading.
