Nightmares

Chapter 4

Ahsoka woke up with a yawn. She noticed that she felt fully energized. Without the nightmares and lack of sleep, she seemed to be functioning fine.

She rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up. She blinked multiple times in order to adjust to the sudden bright lines that seemed to shine directly into her eyes. She was quite satisfied with how she felt. In fact, she hadn't felt like this in forever. Perhaps talking about her nightmares did help.

She smiled a bit at the thought.

Ahsoka looked around the room, quickly spotting her master, who had fallen (not surprisingly) asleep in a chair next to her bed. He had likely pulled it from his own room in their shared quarters.

She smirked and jumped to her feet, making her way over to her sleeping master. An idea popped into her head. A mischevious one.

The Togruta walked behind and grabbed the chair, counting down from 5 in her head until she yanked it out from under him, quicker than she, herself, had anticipated.

Anakin awoke with a surprised yelp as he landed face-first on the floor. Ahsoka chuckled and crossed her arms, waiting for him to notice her.

He heard Ahsoka begin doing the same not even 5 seconds after. It took quite a while for both of them to calm down, but when they did, the seemingly less tense and humorous atmosphere turned serious and tense once again.

"How did you sleep?" He asked.

Ahsoka shrugged and smiled. "Dreamless, I guess. I've never slept that good in my life, though. Perhaps talking about it does make it better," was her reply.

Anakin smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "See? I told ya things would get better. Next time maybe you should believe me."

The teenage Togruta scoffed and crossed her arms. "Excuse me, I DO believe you," she glared him down.

Anakin's response was his all-too-common eye roll. It caused Ahsoka to roll her eyes in return and chuckle slightly.

"Come on. We have a
