3rd Perspective
Ezra was given a few days off after the whole kidnapping. His wound half way healed and his brusies began ti fade. He was told that he would be back in action in a short time.

Ahsoka was packing Ezra's medicine for the mission he was about to go on. A simple one, that is. Deliverying supplies to the infamous Alderaan and Naboo wouldn't be difficult for Ezra. Yet, because of the wound, it would hurt him when he breathed. So Ezra would have to rest while in hyperspace.

"Ahsoka." Anakin walked towards her. She turned to smile at him.

"Yes, Master?"

"I have a favor to ask you," he said.

"What is it?" Ahsoka rested her hands.

"I want you to accompany Ezra on the mission," Anakin said, "Please. Just this once."

Ahsoka crossed her arms, "Why do you not trust Ezra?"

"It's not like that," Anakin breathed out. He leaned against the wall while Ahsoka leaned on the table with the medicine. "Ezra hasn't told us anything. Well, he has but, not what Count Dooku's Master told him. He's kept his mouth shut. Ezra isn't the type to keep quiet about what occurs when he is taken hostage."

"Does he always tell you?" Ahsoka questioned.

"Yes-no. I don't know. He used to. Not anymore as it appears. If he distrusts the Jedi more now, who knows what will happen?"

"So, what does that have to do with me joining Ezra on the mission?"

"I want you to find out, and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble. We've seen what he does during battles." Anakin pointed at her. Ahsoka shook her head.

"Are you sure he would be okay with me joining?"

"Of course. He wasn't close to any other padawan's in the Temple. So technically speaking, you're his first actual friend."

Ahsoka sighed. She was fine with the idea of joining Ezra, but she thought it would be better if he did himself. If he is in doubt, why send someone along. It'll give off the wrong impression by saying 'we don't trust you enough so we're making someone come along so you don't try to do anything suspicious.'

'No, I'm just over thinking it. The Masters only want to check if Ezra's alright. That's all,' Ahsoka thought.

"Fine, I'll go. However, we have to make up an excuse on why I'm going," Ahsoka moved her hands. She finished packing Ezra's medicine and left the room.

Ahsoka scurred down the hangar. Her legs stumbling every once in a while, rushing to Ezra's ship. It was about to take off and she was about to miss it.

"Ahsoka, over here!" The voice of her master called. She rushed over to his position. She dodged some Clones while running across the landing plateform.

"Hey Skyguy, have you told Ezra I'm going with him?" Ahsoka asked.

"No, but I'll wing it," Anakin smirked.

"Wipe that smirk off your face." Ahsoka glared at him. As they discussed what to say, Ezra stepped out of the ship.

"Oh, hey Ahsoka," Ezra smiled.

"I need to tell you something," Ahsoka said. Ezra waited for a response, "I'm going with you."

"Oh, why?"

"Because she begged and begged to go with you on this mission," Anakin exaggerated.

"What!"

"Yeah, she told me to convince you to let her tag along and when I said no she wouldn't take it. I thought she wouldn't show up, but she did anyways. Right, Ahsoka?"

Ahsoka twisted her face in annoyance, "Yes. It's true."

"See, Ezra. So, can you say no to her face so she can shut up?" Anakin asked.

"If you want, Ahsoka can come along. I don't mind," Ezra accepted. Ahsoka grinned.

"Thanks Ezra." Ahsoka pushed by Anakin and climbed aboard. She gripped onto the pouch that hanged over her shoulder.

"Later Master Skywalker." Ezra waved as he faded into the ship.

"Ezra, it's time to apply the medication to your wound." Ahsoka placed her hand on his shoulder. He was looking into the infinte view of hyperspace.

"Okay, I'll be right there," Ezra replied. He's been quiet since take off. It worried Ahsoka. He was never this quiet before. In fact, he's never been quiet ever since they've met.

Ezra entered his cabinet and saw Ahsoka taking out his medicine.

"You know, you don't have to do this. I can do it myself." Ezra sat down on the bed. He took of his shirt, and undid the bandage covering the wound.

"I know, but you won't be able to apply it right since there are no mirrors," she stated. Ahsoka started rubbing the clear blue gel on the wound gently. It was quiet for a couple of minutes until Ezra spoke up.

"Why did you really come on the mission?" Ezra inquired.

Ahsoka stopped for a second and looked at him. She met his eyes, but they weren't the usual eyes he always wears. His face was hidden in almost complete darkness because of the dim lights in room. All she saw was Ezra's eyes glowing with absolute coldness. Ahsoka shivered, and it surprised her. She has never felt uncomfortable when looking at Ezra's azure eyes. In fact, his eyes made everyone feel a warm welcome. Now, is was a hard push to leave him alone.

"What so you mean? I just wanted to go with you on this mission because ever since you began training more often, we didn't really see each other. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to hang out with you." Ahsoka grabbed a cloth and wiped off the extra gel on her finger.

"Ahsoka. For the last two years I was able to observe the people of Onderon. The pitch of their voices depended on what they were talking about. That includes when someone is telling the truth, and when they're lying," Ezra mentioned. Ahsoka snatched some clean bandages and knelt down in front of Ezra.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, or what you just said has anything to do with me." She began wrapping up the wound.

Ezra snickered. "Please, you know exactly what I'm talking about. So tell me." He gripped Ahsoka's wrist, which made her stop and gaze at him again, "What's the real reason why Master Skywalker begged you to come on this mission?"
