Heyo, human beings from outer space!

I just watched the new Ahsoka episodes and AAAAHHHHH I have so many things I want to say but I'm not going to because spoilers. But I could rant on and on about it I could probably write and entire kriffing essay at this point I've thought about it waayyyy too much. 

Anywayyy, the whole reason you're here! This was requested by Anakin_Skyguy8108.

Read on if you dare. 


The day that Anakin was sent on leave was the day Ahsoka started plotting her revenge. The leave should have been for both of them. It was a reward for a successful but rather brutal and lengthy campaign that was another step toward the ultimate defeat of the Separatists.

However, Anakin had elected to leave Ahsoka at the Temple. She had some catching up to do on homework she'd missed while fighting the war. Anakin agreed that it was unfair she had so much homework to do despite her contribution in the war, but he was too tired to make a scene, he claimed.

Fine, he may be tired, but Anakin's lust for drama and talking back to superiors could swallow any amount of exhaustion whole. But there was another sneaky sort of yearning that brought him to neglect Ahsoka's privileges and his short fuse. A secret sort of love for a senator from Naboo that (oh so conveniently) happened to also be taking a break from her typical duties.

It was a knife of betrayal to Ahsoka's heart.

"You'll be fine," Anakin assured her as he audibly sniffed a robe he'd collected off the floor and tossed it into his suitcase. He wouldn't be packing anything if Ahsoka hadn't insisted he did. "Besides," he went on as he tossed in some socks, "You'll have plenty of down time if you only have a few classes. You won't have any missions or anything, so you can rest up back here. The holo-projector remote is all yours while I'm gone."

"Sure makes up for it," Ahsoka grumbled sarcastically.

"Cheer up, and stop looking at me like that! It's not my fault the council said you had to stay to do school."

Ahsoka rolled her eyes. She flicked out a wrist, snapped Anakin's suitcase shut, and crossed her arms comfortably again. "Now get out of here before I stab you with a pen."

But Anakin was right about one thing: she would have a bit of down time after her lessons, training, and teaching. So, one late afternoon, as soon as she got back from directing a class of younglings in the basic lightsaber-weilding positions, she called over a few of her favorite boys.

Only minutes later, she smuggled them into her quarters with a mischievous grin stretched across her face.

"Why are you looking like that?" Rex said, eyeing her from the side. "I don't like that look."

"I do. What's up, Commander? I got a good feeling about this," Fives cackled.

"Weeeeelllll," Ahsoka drawled, pivoting to pase the room. "As you know, Anakin decided to abandon me here–"

"Jerk," Echo coughed out, and after a pause, said. "Hm? Sorry, sore throat. Continue."

"Anakin abandoned me here and I need to get back at him, because I feel very betrayed. I was thinking... maybe I could make my own vacation in his cabin? A beach scene, of course."

There was a pause in which everyone stared at her, eyes wide and perfectly round. Then they all burst out laughing at once and Ahsoka's grin grew impossibly.

"Brilliant, Commander! Brilliant!" Fives and Hardcase wheezed, bending double over each other in a staggering mess of laughter.

Even Rex couldn't hold back his sniggering.
