I walked out to the cafeteria for Friday lunch, smiling at my friends and teammates as I sat down.
"Someone's cheerful." Yang commented, sensing the smile my black hood hid. I nodded.
"I'm just... Glad that I got some stuff off my chest." I admitted. All of my friends looked at me and smiled.

Later that lunch period, things got kinda weird...
"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!" Nora laughed from the top of a stack of tables. Don't ask how we built it, just know that we did, and it was awesome.
"Justice will be swift!" Ruby shouted, angry. "Justice will be painful! It will be delicious!" Team RWBY cheered. We had just started the ultimate food fight. It would go down in Beacon's history as the day Team RWBY and Team JNPAR pissed Professor Goodwitch off and lived to tell about it.
"Off with their heads!" Queen Nora of the Castle commnded, and our team launched a volley of watermelons. Yang intercepted them with turkeys, Blake joining in with two loaves of bread before battling Pyrrha with a loaf of bread.
Ruby charged in as Blake and Yang were knocked back, surfing on a lunch tray and knocking the second redhead to the ground. Ren entered the fight with Nora, but Weiss made him slip with some ketchup. Nora drove an metal bar into a watermelon and used it like Magnhild.
"Is that allowed?" I wondered out loud, then picked up a large pineapple and chucked it with all I had, ending up getting the spiky fruit tangled in Yang's hair. "Uh-oh."
"You monster!" Yang yelled. I ducked to dodge a turkey. Weiss began battling Nora with a swordfish before getting knocked out, much to Ruby's dismay.
Yang charged in with more turkeys, only for Ren to charge in with celery. When he got hurt, Nora got angry and knocked Yang through the roof. Blake attacked with a string of sausage (like a whip), and Nora retaliated with exploding soda cans. Blake got knocked out when Pyrrha used her semblance to launch every can in the room at her.
Alone, Ruby charged, using her speed semblance to create a wind current that knocked he enemy team into a wall, every piece of food in the room being thrown at them. I ran out, between my team and the debris.
"Stop!" I shouted, raising my hands and focusing... All of the debris stopped in midair, my teammates being lowered to the ground. Everyone's eyes widened as I slowly smirked. "Secret's out." I looked at Ruby, smiling deviously. "Scream and run."
"I ain't fighting that!" Ruby ran back to her teammates. I dropped the debris. My teammates were lowe red to Earth, and they seemed stunned.
Suddenly drained, I fell down on one knee, placing a hand on the ground to keep myself from falling over.
"Ahsoka!" Nora and Pyrrha ran over as spots danced in my vision. Pyrrha tested my forehead.
"She's burning up." The Amazon stated. I took a deep breath and shakily got to my feet.
"I'm fine." I brushed them off. "It'll pass in a moment."
"That was awesome!" Nora grinned. "You were all like NO and Ruby was all like AH and you're so cool!" Then, an angry Professor Goodwitch barged in. With a flick of her weapon, the woman restored the whole room, pissed off.
"Children, please... Do not play with your food." Goodwitch scolded. Then, Yang fell from the ceiling and broke at table. That looked like it REALLY hurt...

Later, as I read a book in the library with my team...
"'Sup, losers?" Sun greeted. Ruby beamed.
"Hey, Sun!"
"Ruby." Sun greeted. "Yang. Blake. Ice Queen."
"Hey!" Weiss whined. "Why does everyone keep calling me that?!"
"I never got the chance to formally introduce you to my old friend." Sun explained. Neptune looked at Team RWBY's game.
"Aren't libraries for reading?"
"Thank you!" Ren shouted from our table, frowning. Nora suddenly woke up, eyes wide.
"Pancakes!"
"Shut up." Sun looked at Neptune. "Don't be a nerd."
"Intellectual." Neptune corrected, frowning slightly at Sun. "Okay? Thank you... I'm Neptune." Yay, another new guy. Like we needed one of those...

That afternoon, I sat in my dorm with my teammates.
"So..." Nora looked at me. I sighed, rolling my eyes.
"You can ask more space questions." I allowed. This had been going on for months, now.
"So, what's it like being a Togruta?! What's your home planet like?!"
"Well... Shili's a beautiful planet." I smiled at the thought of home. "I didn't spend a lot of time there, as I was taken to be a Jedi when I was three, but I remember it always being warm, and the striped buildings and plants..." I looked down, frowning. "Being a Togruta's okay, I guess."
"What's wrong?" Pyrrha asked. I looked up.
"My species is considered..." I bit my lower lip. "I mean... Remember how I said that many of the slaves of the Republic and Separatists were Twi'Leks?" The others nodded. "Well... The rest of them were Togrutas. Wherever I went, back home with my human friends, everyone always immediately assumed I was a slave. It was hard, you know? The Jedi Council once made me pose as a slave for a mission, which wasn't fun... What's it like being a Togruta, Nora? It sucks."
I didn't speak again after that, unaware of the rage with which Jaune looked at the sky.

Later that evening, I got an urgent call from Ruby...
"Hey! Listen, Blake and Sun are being chased by a giant robot. You think you could-?"
I hung up and started heading to Vale.
/\
I arrived at the highway in a taxi as Yang and Neptune arrived on Bumblebee (Yang's motorcycle), and Neptune began firing blasts of electricity at this HUGE robot. Then, he leapt onto its back. Sun activated his semblance, sending two glowing golden clones to attack the mech and explode on impact.
"Nice!" I approved. Then, both boys got knocked off the highway.
I leapt up onto the top of the moving truck Sun had recently stood upon, shooting my hands out and shoving the mech back with the Force. Torchwick (who was inside) retaliated by swatting me off the truck and into open air. I crashed on a rooftop, and all went dark...
/\
I woke up with a groan to see Sun and Neptune looking at me, Sun helping me sit up. Thank the Force that my hood was still up, preventing Neptune from seeing my face...
"What happened?" I asked. "Where are the others?"
"Fighting Torchwick." Neptune answered, frowning. "We saw you get swatted off the van, and we found you a few minutes ago." I felt the top of my head, wincing.
"Ow..." I groaned in pain. "That thing packs a real punch..."
"I think Team RWBY's got Torchwick handled." Sun gently helped me up. "Let's go get some food."
/\
The three of us ended up at a noodle stand, run by that old guy who seemed to be EVERYWHERE.
"They're probably fine, right?" Neptune asked. Sun nodded.
"Probably." He answered. I laughed, eating some more noddles.
"True friends, right here." I smiled. Sun laughed. "What? It's not like I'm going back to help them, either." We started laughing. True friends...
/\
Upon returning to Beacon, I gasped in shock...
"What happened to you guys?" I asked. Team RWBY glared, beaten and covered in dirt and burn-marks.
"Don't ask." Yang deadpanned. I cringed, pitying them.
"Yikes."
Hey, guys? I've got a quick question... Y'all okay with an eventual Ahsoka X Jaune shipping? If you're not, I'll cancel it, but... I really, really, REALLY wanna do it. I think it'd be cool... Please read, review, etc. I don't own RWBY or Star Wars: Clone Wars.
