"Please don't make me go, I don't wanna go." I pleaded gripping the leg of the man who was partially responsible for parenting me.

"Does she have to?" He frowned looking to the women was also responsible for raising me.

"Rex, you know she has to." Ahsoka sighed looking to her friend with annoyance. She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at the two of us. My young self gripped his leg even tighter.

"She's right, little one. It's for the best." The elderly man sighed in defeat.

"I-I don't wanna go." I complained letting go of Rex leg.


"Annie, this is your family. You need to meet them." Rex smiled softly. He bent down to my eye level.

"You're my family." I mumbled looking to the clone  then to the female Togruta. Ahsoka stepped forwards and bent down as well.

"But so are the Skywalkers, you'll see." Ahsoka signed running her fingers through my light brown hair. She stood back up and went to the steering of the ship. Rex stood up as well and sat in the chair besides Ahsoka. I pouted in the back of ship with my arms crossed.

"She gets it from her mother." Rex laughed looking back at me.


"Tell me about it." Ahsoka laughed rolling her eyes. I could see a pained look beneath the surface. I could every time she said my name too. When our ship landed on the unnamed planet I took a deep breath. I was young, but I wasn't dumb enough not to realize they were dumping me off. I didn't know the people I'd be living with. So I was scared. With my head down I walked behind Ahsoka and Rex.

"It's an honor to see you again." A man greeted properly.

"Likewise." Ahsoka smiled back. I refused to look up. A females voice entered the chat between the adults. I messed with my shoe, out of fear.

"Annie, come meet your cousins." Ahsoka encouraged taking a step back. Still looking at my feet I took a few steps forwards.

"Hello, youngling. I'm Luke." A man greeted with his hand stretched out. I slowly looked up to see a blonde man in his thirties offering his hand to me. I looked to Ahsoka then Rex before gently placing my hand in his. He carefully shook it with a smile.

"This is my sister Leia." He introduced. I smiled seeing a pretty brunette girl the same age as him with a grin.

"She's a Princess." Luke whispered with a wink. A smile beamed across my face. I loved the idea of princesses.

"You're beautiful." My ten year old self smiled in awe.

"Aw, thank you." Leia smiled. She placed her hands on the shoulders of a little boy. Who seemed two or three years younger then me.

"This is my son, Ben. He was named after your father." Leia laughed. I looked to the boy. He had dark black hair with dark eyes. He too looked to the ground uncomfortably. Ahsoka took a step forwards and handed a metal object to Luke.

"Hold onto it till she's ready." Ahsoka instructed. The Jedi nodded his head in oblige. Ahsoka and Rex bent down to my eye level and looked at me.

"We have to go." Rex sighed.

"Why do you have to?" I asked with tears brimming my eyes.

"We don't belong here." Ahsoka frowned.

"Will I see you again?" I asked, not being able to hold back my tears.

"Of course you will, little Annie." Ahsoka smiled. She reached out and held me hand in hers.

"Please don't leave." I sobbed grabbing them both and embracing them in my little arms. Rex and Ahsoka both wrapped their arms around me. I cried into Ahsoka shirt while her head tails laid on top of my arm.

"We'll see each other again." Rex nodded standing up. Ahsoka kissed the top of my head before slowly standing up. I stood there crying as the only family I had ever known walked onto a ship. I attempted to run towards them with tears streaming down my face. The Princess didn't hesitate in stopping me, by grabbing my hand. I sobbed even harder as their ship lifted off the ground and flew to the blue sky.

"Come back!" I begged as the ship left the atmosphere. I fell to the ground and continued sobbing. Leia picked me up and held me in her arms. I didn't know these people. I was scared and alone. I sniffed my nose before standing up.


"Come now, Annie." Luke gestured with his hand. I slowly nodded my head and followed after him. I walked besides leia while Luke guided the way. The Ben boy walked behind us. I could feel his eyes starring at me. When we arrived at what I assumed to be a temple I was scared. They walked me inside the temple. It wasn't as nice on the side. The floors were a brown carpet. The walls were painted cream with paintings all along the walls. I stopped at one and looked up. It was a dark haired girl and boy. They both had resembling features. Their backs were together while both presenting a serious face. In their hands they each held a lightsaber. The girl held a purple one while the boy held a blue. I noticed Ben's presence besides me, across from the boys. He looked to the boy while I stood in front of the girl.

"It's my mother." I sighed looking at her. Even then I knew I resembled her. All except my eyes and hair color, my crystal blue eyes were from my father, Ahsoka would tell me.

"That's my grandfather." Ben smiled with pride looking up to the painting of Anakin Skywalker.

"Your grandfather killed my parents." I pointed out with distaste looking to the man.

"Oh, uh-" Ben mumbled awkwardly. I spun on my heel and noticed leia and Luke had left the two of us alone. We continued to walk down the hall in Silence.
