Like Master, Like Padawan

chapter 4: The Bet

Ahsoka pov
I can't believe Rex, I know he considers himself a love expert, mostly because he found out about Padme and Anakin first, but he's wrong about this. I admit I don't hate him anymore like I used to, but that doesn't mean I absolutely adore him either. He was more tolerable now but I still don't like him like that! It's official, now I have 3 missions. 1. Find Bariss 2. Protect the senator, and 3. Prove to Rex that I don't like him and he definitely doesn't like me! I walked down the hall searching for Lux, but instead I found Anakin.

"Snips, training room, you in it, now!" I gave him an impatient moan.

"But master! I was just in their with Rex, do I really have to do more."

"Yes Ahsoka we've been over this. You can train with my men all you want but it won't get you better with saber to saber duels. You need to practice with an actual jedi master."

"Oh I see, and when does the jedi master arrive? Cause I don't see any." Whoops, I hit a nerve. My bad.

"Training room, NOW!!!" I held my head down in guilt and defeat. I headed to the taller training room for jedi.

"I'll meet you there padawan." PADAWAN!?! Not snips, NOT EVEN AHSOKA!!! I couldn't possibly get mad though, I went to far teasing him this time and we both felt it. I entered and say down. The training room had every possible thing you could imagine every weapon, all the gear, a meditation area, it even had a pool! I didn't spend much time in here, it felt wrong to be in this luxury while Rex and his men were practicing for everyone's sake. I sat down at the meditation circle made for two. The master, and the apprentice. I cleared my mind and reached out in the force. I waited for a vision to come to me, but it was inerupted by the door opening. A akin walked in with no expression on his face what so ever.

"Sorry I blew up back there Ahsoka, I just- I don't have the greatest luck when it comes to the jedi council."

"Master Kenobi always said there's no such thing as luck." Finally, he smiled.

"Then it's a good thing I taught you otherwise. Now ready to get your butt whooped?" HA! Actually that wouldn't be the first time he won. Now that I think about it he always won? Why don't I ever win!

"This time that won't happen so easily!" I activated both my light sabers, Ana kin laid his palm in his face.

"What! What's wron- ohhhhhhhhh!!! Bow, I always forget to bow"

"I wonder where you learned that from?" Anakin inquired. I giggled before turning serious again. I put my hands to my hips and I could almost swear I heard another giggle from behind me. But I didn't have time to look over because Anakin already had his light saber drawn and activated, he was headed right for me. I only had enough time to get my longer green one out, but I still blocked his blue saber.

"Hey no fair I wasn't ready, and I thought it wasn't the jet way to strike first!"

"Always be ready, you never know when Ventress or Dooku will strike! And it's not the jedi way, it's my way!" He said back. It made sense. But right now I feel weord, like more... powerful!

"I sense your thoughts are on different subjects. Be focused solely on your opponent when dueling."

"Yes master." I said trying to sound serious. The seriousness didn't work on him, I read his thoughts. 1 of his thoughts were that I was lying, true. And his second was a, a plan of some sort. Well I had a plan to, it's called operation talk!

"So how was your day? How's life going for you and your girl?" I knew it would work, his grip loosened and so did his fighting stance, which meant his gaurd was down. I hot out my yellow saber while maintaining the upper hand against my master. I back flipped across the room, almost hitting my head. Anakin ran up to me grasping his saber but by the time he reached me, I held out my hands and force pushed him against the wall. I felt a familiar presence in the force but I kept pursuing my master. I activated my longer green saber and held it a good foot away from his neck.
