Fives opened the door for his younger sister and he crossed his arms with a smirk on his face as she fiddled with her padawan braid, 

"So, hermana, what brings you to my humble abode?"

Nikki rolled her eyes, 

"Shut up, hermano, am I not allowed to visit my vod?"

Fives chuckled and sat down,

"You are, Victory. I have some news for you,"

Nikki immediately lit up and looked over at him, 

"What is it?"

Fives chuckled, 

"I think I found a way to cure the chips in our brother's heads,"

Nikki smiled, 

"Really? How?"

Fives chuckled, 

"I'll tell you soon enough. I need to make sure it would work first,"

"I can give it to someone if you want, I'll test it on Waxer,"

Fives laughed and patted her shoulder, 

"As much as I would love that, vod'ika, I can do this. It's a vaccine I'm working on,"

Nikki tilted her head, 

"You know medicine? Have you been secretly talking to Kix?!"

Fives laughed and shook his head, 

"No, I have not. I have nothing other than studying to do,"

Nikki slowly nodded, 

"Alright, whatever you say, vod,"

Fives chuckled. Then he sprang out of his seat when Nikki suddenly fainted, 

"NIKKI!"

He laid her down on the floor and checked her pulse, 

"What the kriff?"

She had a steady pulse, in fact, she looked perfectly fine...which confused him because she fainted. He immediately took out his comm and tried calling the Sora and Axel. He grumbled when neither of them responded and ran a hand through his hair, 

"What the fuck am I supposed to do?"

Then he remembered one of his past conversations with Nikki, one where she told him where Ahsoka stayed. He ran over to his armor and put it on. He softly grabbed Nikki and carried her to his speeder. He ignored everything around him as he sped through the streets and stopped right outside of a house that looked pretty abandoned. He got out and grabbed Nikki as he walked to the front. He opened the door,

"HELLO?"

Ahsoka immediately ran in with a blaster aimed. She stopped when she saw her unconscious friend, 

"What did you do to her?"

Fives gently put her down, 

"I didn't do anything! She fainted and I had nowhere else to go."

R5-D4 rolled in and activated his shockers and Fives immediately backed away from him and Nikki. Ahsoka stared at Fives, 

"Why?"

"I am wanted by the Senate. Nikki and I have been trying to clear my name for months,"

Ahsoka sighed and kneeled down next to Nikki, 

"Did she say anything?"

Fives shook his head, 

"It was all of a sudden,"

Ahsoka nodded, 

"Thank you, Fives,"

Fives took off his helmet to show his surprised expression, 

"How did you know it was me?"

Ahsoka chuckled, 

"I thought you were alive. Vick was never really good at hiding things from me,"

Fives shrugged, 

"Yeah, you got a good point,"

Ahsoka smiled and looked at the small droid, 

"R5, I need you to contact Obi-Wan, tell him Vick fainted and we are heading to the Temple."

She stood up and put her hand on Fives' shoulder, 

"I am happy you are still alive, Fives,"

Fives smiled and pulled her into a hug, 

"Just don't tell Nikki you found out,"

Ahsoka laughed and nodded, 

"I won't. Now go before anything happens,"

Fives nodded and left. R5-D4 rolled over to Ahsoka, 

"I think we gave Obi-Wan a heart attack. He is expecting us. Let's get going,"

Ahsoka nodded and carefully picked up Nikki, 

"Come, tonight is going to be full of mystery, I assume,"

Jaro Tapal ran through the temple with his padawan in his arms. He just got to the healing center when he ran into Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano carrying Nikki. Jaro frowned, 

"Nikki?"

Obi-Wan glanced at the young boy in Jaro's arms, 

"Cal?"

They walked in with many questions flowing through their heads. Ahsoka was first to break the silence as the head healer took the two padawans inside the room, 

"Something is very weird."

Jaro nodded, 

"Something has caused both of them to go unconscious,"

Obi-Wan sighed and nodded, 

"Yes, it is very strange. We must contact Master Yoda,"
