Redemption

Epilogue

"Ahsoka?" Kaeden called.

"Yeah?" Ahsoka grumbled from the bed.

"Breakfast!"

Immediately awake, Ahsoka raced to the kitchen. As promised, food was waiting for her on the table.

"You spoil me, Kaeden."

"You deserve it, love."

After breakfast, Ahsoka's holoprojector went off. She frowned. She was supposed to be in hiding. Her friends knew not to contact her.

"This better be good," Ahsoka said in lieu of a proper greeting.

"Nice to see you too Ahsoka," Rex's image replied.

"You know I'm in hiding, right? You're putting yourself in danger by even talking to me."

Rex chuckled. "I forgot you and Kaeden were out of the loop. It's over. The Emperor has been defeated."

Ahsoka audibly gasped. "Already?"

"We had some really talented people on our side," Rex clarified. "You don't need to hide anymore. In fact, I know quite a few people who'd like to meet you."

"Yeah?"

"Come to Endor. We're having a celebration with the Ewoks tomorrow night."

"Okay, I'll be there!"

Rex nodded and hung up.

"Kaeden? Wanna come?"

"It's okay. I'm not important to the Rebellion."

"You're important to me."

"Well, when you put it that way, how can I refuse? After all, I can't show you off if we never go anywhere."

Ahsoka chuckled. "Anyways," she continued, "this could be a good place to network. That is, unless you'd rather us never get any jobs and starve?"

Kaeden hit Ahsoka on the arm but she was laughing all the same.

"You're coming too, right Raea?"

They arrived on Endor the following afternoon. Over the comms, Rex guided them to the old Imperial base where they could park their ship. He was waiting there to take them to the Ewok village.

Up in the trees, it looked like the party had already started.

I'm going to go find Chopper! Raea said before zooming off.

"Are we late?" Kaeden asked.

"No," Rex responded. "They've just been partying nonstop since we won yesterday."

"Oh."

"Ahsoka!" someone yelled. Ahsoka turned around, battle instincts kicking in. Thankfully, it was just Sabine.

"Hi," Ahsoka said softly as Sabine gave her a hug. Ahsoka was still taller than her.

"I'm so happy you're here!" Sabine exclaimed after letting go.

"It's nice to see you too. Where's everyone else?"

"Mingling. I'm sure you'll see them around. Who's this?" she asked, motioning to Kaeden.

"Kaeden Larte, nice to meet you," Kaeden said, shaking her hand. Sabine's eyes widened when she noticed the ring on her left hand. Ahsoka smiled and held up her matching one.

"Congratulations!"

"About time I settled down, right?" Ahsoka joked.

"You're not the only one," Sabine responded, pointing over to Zeb and Kallus... holding hands?
