In All the Chaos

On the streets Ezra always loved this time of year. The chaos from late autumn to mid winter was always the perfect distraction for him to do what he did best. Some family would always give him lots of leftover food that could last him a week, and it was really easy to pick pocket people. Sometimes people just flat out gave him money. Society always seemed nicer this time of year.

Once Ezra had joined the Ghost crew he this time of year had a whole new meaning to it. Two days before Black Friday he woke up to find the rest of the crew decorating the ship. Even Chopper was being uncharacteristically nice as he helped.

"Ezra, good your up. Can you help me with something?" Sabine had asked as soon she saw him.

"I guess, what do you need help with?" He had replied.

"Decorating, silly."

"Didn't we just take down the decorations from Halloween? What are we decorating for now?" Ezra asked.

"Thanksgiving! Didn't you ever celebrated the holidays?" Sabine answered.

"Not that I remember."

"Well you're going to love it. There's lots of food."

"Sounds like my kind of holiday."

"Then your really going to love Christmas. Twice the decorating, all the food, plus theirs gifts." Sabine replied.

"Is that the one where Santa comes?" Ezra asked.

"So that one you celebrated?" She asked in response.

"I remember a little from back with my parents. Not much though, just having to be good." He answered.

"FYI, Kanan is probably calling off Jedi training for a few days, and don't have any missions until the Black Friday supply run." Sabine said casually.

The next day Kanan and Hera prepared the biggest feast Ezra had ever seen.

The Black Friday supply run was more about getting gifts for the others and supplies for Tarkin Town. Kanan actually gave Ezra a few credits for to spend on whatever he wanted.

"Get whatever you want just don't steal from anyone." Kanan had warned. "I know old habits die hard."

"What about the empire?"

"Only if it's unavoidable, otherwise try to stay out of trouble kid. I don't want to have to do a rescue mission." The older man replied.

Becoming part of the larger rebellion just meant more to celebrate with.

This third year was different now. There was loss this time. Things Ezra was just starting to get used to & was looking forward to where taken away. An empty chair next to Rex at Thanksgiving yesterday and Kanan's mask where just the smallest hints to the changes. Ahsoka would never fill that seat again. Kanan would never see the faces of his crew, or watch them open presents again. Just as Ezra would never feel like he deserves to have all this. The only thing he was thankful for was that the rest of his crew was living.

He had picked at his meal until Hera fused at him. After dinner he stayed to himself. No one bothered him the rest of the day.

Ezra head the knock on his cabin door.

"Ezra, we need to talk." Kanan said.

"I'm not really in the mood to talk." Ezra replied.

"Fine then I'll talk and you listen, but we're not going anywhere." Kanan said as unlocked the door.

"Don't we have supply runs today?"

"The others are taking care of that. Besides the two of us can go later. We'll have plenty of time." Kanan answered.

"Fine, what do you want talk about?" Ezra asked.
