The piercing blue eyes of my nemesis still mere inches from mine. His towering figure hovering over me, neither of us breaking our threatening glare. If I hadn't been so blinded by my hatred, perhaps I would have noticed how, almost attractive his features were up close. No. I shook the thought away.

Thankfully we were interrupted when Plo and Ahsoka caught up to us. Anakin instantly backed away and his glare faltered.
"The council has ordered us to return to the Malevolence and destroy it," he informed. "We tracked the mystery weapon to this system. That is when we found out it was an ion cannon."

Ahsoka had a puzzled look on her face, pushing me to speak up.
"It's a weapon that neutralizes all power to our ships, leaving the targets defenseless..."
Anakin suddenly interrupted, "Yeah, we got it. Anyway, it's like right there." He pointed to the monstrous ship through the window and we all rushed over.

"Quickly, shut down the power system before they detect us!" My master commanded as he began pushing buttons on the control panel. Our cruiser was now floating, the menacing shadow of Grievous' cannon not far away.

The ship was eventually right over top of ours, as we awaited the perfect opportunity to make our move. My bad feeling has since returned and this time, I wasn't going to let myself fail again. And of course I was right. The Malevolence began to turn as it must have detected us. I kicked Anakin's chair in front of me.

"Your plan sucks, Skywalker."

"Would you shut up and trust me?" he snapped, earning a look from both Master Plo and Ahsoka.

"I'm not going to let you get us killed. Turn the power back on, we're leaving."

"She's right," said Plo, as we began to flee. This isn't going to be enough. We're still in range of the cannon.

"Faster, Anakin," I yelled. (foreshadowing ;) ) "I thought you were supposed to be a good pilot."

"Can you just let me concentrate on saving your ass? Again!" Anakin shouted back.

"Both of you stop! I don't want your bickering to be the last thing I hear!" Ahsoka started yelling too.

"Sorry, yeah, I don't want the last thing I say to be to her either." Anakin laughed.

"I'm going to kill you all myself if you don't shut up and get us out of here," Plo threatened as the ion blast crept up on our tail.

"Master?" Ahsoka had a terrified look in her eyes, but Anakin's became determined.
"I got this, you're gonna be okay Ahsoka."
Aw, how sweet, he's good with kids but an asshole to everyone else.

Anakin sped through the debris field with the blast trailing dangerously close behind, and soon our ship was free. We jumped into hyperspace with our lives miraculously intact.

It's beyond me, but somehow the council has permitted Anakin to form an attack on the Malevolence to destroy it. That didn't really work out last time and I don't trust that man in the least bit.

We were all on the Republic starship, after telling Master Windu and Yoda the details of our narrow escape.

I was talking with some of the Wolfpack, when an unpleasant presence arises behind me.

"Ha, guess what?" Anakin clapped a hand on my shoulder. I shoved it off. "You have the honor of joining me on the mission."

"Aw, Skywalker, I'm starting to think you just like spending time with me," I retorted.

"You know what, I do. I enjoy your company Vienna, wanna go grab a drink sometime?" Anakin raised his eyebrows sarcastically.

"I'm sure you'd love-" I was cut off by Master Plo walking over.

"General Skywalker, it's time to brief your mission plans."

"Right on it, sir." Anakin turned and winked at me before heading over to the clone squadron. I rolled my eyes and followed my master over as well.

But the feeling deep inside of me did not go unnoticed. I couldn't exactly put my finger on it, but maybe a part of me doesn't think Anakin Skywalker is that bad after all.
