POV: Barriss Offee
Master Skywalker swore.
"We have to get out of here."
"Master Skywalker, did you send a recall?"
"Yes."
"Where'd you tell them to meet us?"
"In the council chambers. Why?"
"Tell them to meet us on the moon."
We ran to the landing pad, fighting our way past the droids.
"We're retreating, but we'll be back."
Ahsoka and I ran onto the Twilight II, and Master Skywalker climbed into his fighter. We took off.
"Where are we going, Barriss?"
"We're going to meet the other Jedi on the moon, and then we'll say what the council says to do."
We landed and exited the ships.
POV: Ahsoka Tano
"Anakin, before the other Jedi arrive, Barriss and I have something to tell you."
I slid my orange hand into Barriss's olive skinned hand.
"Barriss and I are together," I said.
Anakin did not look surprised.
"Congratulations, both of you. How long?"
"Oh, about a week now."
I cupped Barriss's chin in one hand, and kissed her. She kissed me back, and the kiss grew more heated. After a moment, we remembered that we weren't alone. We broke the kiss, blushing.
"I love you, Barriss," I said quietly.
"I love you too, Ahsoka," she answered.
POV: Anakin Skywalker
"Barriss, can I talk to you for a moment?"
I was not surprised that Ahsoka and Barriss were together. I had been wondering when it was going to happen, in fact.
POV: Barriss Offee
"Sure, Master Skywalker," I said.
We walked behind a tree.
"Barriss, I don't really mind that you are with Ahsoka. In fact, I'm happy for you both. I can tell that you make Ahsoka happy, and that makes me happy. But, Ahsoka's like a little sister to me. If you hurt her, I won't be happy with you, Barriss."
Something in his tone told me that he was not joking.
"I have no intention of hurting Ahsoka, Master Skywalker."
"Please, you can call me Anakin."
"Okay, Anakin. I really have no intention of hurting Ahsoka."
"I believe you, Barriss."
