"No!" Ahsoka shot up. She was...in her room? Sage was there next to her, crying softly.

"M...Master. You scared me! You fell asleep, and you wouldn't wake up," she sobbed.

"Shhhh. Come here, I'm fine," Ahsoka held her head close. Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in," she said, comforting the Padawan. It was Anakin.

"You went unconscious on the transit. Sage ran up all the stairs to come get us." Ahsoka squeezed Sage tighter.

"We need to talk," Ahsoka said, a grim tone in her voice.

"Sage, sweetie. I know you miss Ahsoka. But we need to talk. Go with your brother," Anakin said.

"Don't worry. I'm fine," Ahsoka whispered.

"Your secret's safe with me," Sage whispered before leaving the room.

"Is this one of Padme's?" Ahsoka asked, ruffling her nightdress.

"Maybe," Anakin smiled, hugging her. "It feels good to have you back. It's been tough, there's no one to do the little jobs."

"Isn't that what Silas is for?" Ahsoka asked, grabbing some clothes. Banging came from outside the door.

"R7's been in a panic. She's gone insane," Anakin said, opening the door.

"Hey, girl. I'm fine. I'll be right out," Ahsoka said, slipping behind a screen.

"So, what do you wanna talk about?" Anakin asked.

"What are all the Sith Legends that Palpatine has told you?"

"Too many to count, why?"

"I had a vision, a dream. Did he ever mention Darth Plagueis?"

"Yes. That was the last one he told me," Anakin said.

"According to...the vision...Darth Plagueis was a Sith Lord who could keep people from dying. You asked if it was possible to learn this power. Palpatine said that you could, but not from a Jedi." A shiver rolled up Anakin's spine.

"That's...that's exactly what he said," Anakin said, breathlessly. "Did anything else happen in your vision?"

"The Republic was reorganized into the First Galactic Empire, you were killed saving me from whatever the kriff Order 66 is. And Darth Sidious echoing throughout the entire Galaxy."

"Talk to Master Yoda."

"But I-"

"Talk to Master Yoda," Anakin repeated.

"Okay. But I have something I need to do first," Ahsoka giggled.

"Is it about the secret you have with Sage?" Anakin asked.

"No! Okay, maybe. But no more hints!" Ahsoka said, coming out from behind the screen in a beautiful outfit.

"I know Padme didn't buy that for you," Anakin said.

"It's a traditional women's dress for my people. I received it when we were on Shili a year ago, but I've had no reason to wear it yet."

"So why..." he started.

"Just pay attention at dinner tonight. I'm going to the Market with Trace and Rafa. If they're done with their work, of course."

"Almost. Oh, they start at the Jedi Temple soon. And, in your bay."

"Aww. The family's back together," Ahsoka said, playfully punching Anakin. "We had better get going. Do you wanna hang with me and the boys at Dex's? 1900?"
"Sure. Why not? I don't have anything else to do."
