POV: Ahsoka Tano
A month and a half after being confronted by the council, I had to take the next step.
"Barriss," I said, dropping to one knee, "you mean the world to me, and there is no one I'd rather spend the rest of my life with. Will you marry me?"
Her eyes widened, and her hand covered her mouth. She was silent, and for a moment, I thought maybe I'd rushed things. But then she nodded.
"Yes," she said, choking back tears of joy.
I stood up, kissing her.
"I love you, Barriss," I said.
"I love you too, Soka."
The next day, we were called yet again before the council.
"Padawan Tano, Knight Offee. We have almost undeniable evidence that is indicative of a romantic relationship between the two of you."
"Suspended, you are, indefinitely. An investigation, we will launch immediately. A trial, there will be. Suggest, I do, that you begin preparing a defense. Restrained to your respective quarters, you are."
I paced through me and Anakin's quarters.
"I can't stand this waiting," I shouted, punching the wall.
My knuckles flared with pain. But fortunately, I didn't have to wait very long. Within a week after we were interrogated, I was called forward again.
"Padawan Tano, we know of the relationship between you and Knight Offee. We have voted and you are to be punished for your violation of the Jedi Code. Padawan Tano, you are hereby stripped of your Padawan status and you will be returned to your home planet of Shili. You are to have no interaction with anyone from your life as a Jedi."
I gasped as Master Windu spoke.
"Leave for Shili, you will, first light tomorrow."
To Be Continued…
So I know that is a horrible cliffhanger, and I'm sorry. But I felt it was time for some drama, and not just of the action adventure type. After all, it's been 8 chapters of Barrisoka fluff.
