Crash landing

Page seventynine

Ahsoka woke with a sneeze, as the drop of water hit her nose.

She rubbed her nose a little, looking up. Her eyes grew as she saw another drop drip down into their hole... and another.

She quickly tapped Anakin "Master, Master wake up"

He just grumbled "five mre mints" without opening his eyes.

She sighed and tapped Obi-Wan instead, who looked up a little "Ahsoka? What is it"

"Water... it's spring" she explained in the short sentences that she grew accustomed to lately.

Obi-Wans eyes widened too, and jumped to the water slowly dripping down. He sat up, causing Anakin's head, that had rested against his side, to bonk on the floor.

Another displeased grumble could be heard from the Jedi knight, that still refused to wake up.

A certain clone did get woken through the tumult tho, looking around a little sleepy still.

Obi-Wan was already getting to his feet, ducked he went to the trap door and opened it. Immediately a wet load of half molten snow fell down.

It landed half on Ahsoka, who gave an unpleased noise, and half on Anakins feet. The latter  jolted awake and punched into the empty air, where the snow fell.

"Wait what...?" the knight said as he looked around "... how long did I sleep?"

Ahsoka snickered a little, and even Rex didn't suppress a smirk.

Obi-Wan climbed out of the trap door and onto the clearing.

"Ahsoka is right. The flowers start to bloom again"

He knelt down to Ahsoka to help her up, as how he guessed correctly, she was indeed not yet able to climb out of it herself.

In fact, when he tried to let go of her outside, she immediately sunk to the ground. Over the illness and the winter, her legs had lost close to all their muscles. It looked.. very disproportionate now and the thick bulky scar was sticking out clearly.

Ahsoka cursed lightly, half about her inability to stand, and half about now being completely drenched, as she sat in half molten snow.

But then her eyes rose to the surroundings, and she shut up.

The clearing had turned into a beautiful scenery... and changed colour.

Everywhere little flowers stuck their heads out of the remaining snow. Most of them violett, but also some blue and white ones poked in between.

They reached over the entire clearing, and a bit into the forest on all sides.

"What the rancor are you doing up there?" Anakin asked, as he finally climbed out too, and eyed both Obi-Wan and Ahsoka stare at the surroundings.

Rex looked out of the hole now too. Non of the two seemed to mind the flowers much.

Obi-Wan gave a low sigh, at his former Padawans lack of understanding "We should see that we find dry wood. Our supplies are empty, and some of us need to get dry. Anakin, Rex, you search food. Ahsoka, do you think you manage to get a small area somewhat snow free? Preferably the brenches." He quickly changed the topic and got back to the issues ahead

Ahsoka nodded, Anakin pulled a slight face.

"I will go and search dry wood" the Jedi Master gave himself his task, and headed off for the forest
