A request from @Ahsoka_Fan12, here's Anakin and Ahsoka meeting before Christophsis. 

Art not mine, but gosh I wish it was haha, credit where credit is due

Doing the math, Anakin was nine when he came to the temple, and Ahsoka would have been four, so Ahsoka was actually coming to the temple a year before him, give or take. This would be them meeting, had they come to the temple around the same time.

I have no idea how accurate this'll be to their characters but Imma try my best haha

Enjoy :)

He hardly remembered her, he was only nine after all. But something about her attitude clued him in. That snippy, outgoing attitude, if dulled down a bit with her age, and the familiar white markings on her face that have become more defined since the last time he saw her.

Anakin was just brought to the temple, and he was outside training with his master, Obi-Wan. He had barely joined the order, barely become a Padawan, but Obi-Wan was insistent that his training start right away. They were going through some katas. Simple things he would commit to memory, when master Plo approached them both. He was scary to a nine year old, with that mask and the strange features of a Kel-Dor, but something about his presence was calming anyway.

"Obi-Wan, may I have a word?" He said, the mask muffling his voice slightly. Obi-Wan nodded.

"Of course, master. Anakin, why don't you head back to your quarters and we'll continue later." He gestured towards the open door of the training room, and Anakin was about to leave when Plo spoke up.

"What I have to say concerns both of you, actually." He glanced towards Anakin and gave a smile, although mostly hidden by the mask. "We have a mission to be briefed on, and will be gone for a few days. There's a youngling, I found her a few months ago, and she has trouble speaking Basic. I was hoping Anakin would be willing to watch her for a little while and maybe teach her some." Both the masters looked down at the dirty blond haired boy, but Obi-Wan spoke first.

"I'll join you with the briefing in a few moments, but that sounds like a good idea. What do you think, Anakin? Would you be willing?" He looked fondly down on his Padawan, who didn't exactly like being the center of attention in this situation. He spoke softly, but with confidence.

"I can do that."

"Good, why don't you follow me, and Obi-Wan I'll meet you in the briefing room," Plo Koon said, guiding Anakin out the door.

The master led Anakin outside towards a group of some ten or so younglings, all around ten or eleven, grouped around a child. Anakin couldn't get a good look at her at first, but he saw a flash of something blue and white. The group of kids dispersed and walked back towards a master nearby when the two of them entered.

She spoke in a mixture of Togruta with a few words in Basic. "Plo! Master Plo, comrro look, mi found this rock, and yut is a line mjet det neh it, and, and un de det kids said it means I get ke dau a wish,"* A little Togruta girl came bounding towards master Plo with a small rock in her hands, the tips of her lekku swinging with her short strides. When she reached his feet the little girl was bouncing as she showed him the little grey stone.

"That's wonderful, little 'Soka." Plo chuckled at her enthusiasm and crouched down to her level. "Here, Mi k'ya yeh ke meet Anakin."* He gestured towards the boy standing to his side, and assuming he had just been introduced, Anakin gave a small wave. "Anakin, this is Ahsoka."

Ahsoka kept bouncing, gripping the rock in one hand. "Hi Anakin!" She became a little more mellow, but only slightly, after realizing that there was someone else there.
