Padawan Lost ~ AU (1st Installment of the Padawan Series)

Chapter 31

On the Republic Cruiser, Anakin and Ahsoka were talking up a storm. I smiled at their relationship. Ahsoka had a dignified resect for her Master and, yet, was an exact replica of his irresponsibility, or so I heard from Master Kenobi.

                “Master?” I looked to Obi-Wan.

                “Yes, Andora?” He asked, smiling down at me.

                “What’s going to happen now?” I asked.

                “I’m not sure I know what you mean.”

                “I’ve been your Padawan for a number of weeks and when I met you, you acted as if I almost had no right to be here. Are you going to send me back?” I asked with a defeated tone.

                Master Kenobi’s blue eyes twinkled and he smiled at me. “You’ve proved yourself, Andora. That’s all I could have asked for in a Padawan.” I smiled and looked up at him.

                “Really?” He nodded.

                “Would you go tell Anakin and Ahsoka that we will be entering Coruscant’s atmosphere soon?” I nodded and did as I was told.

When we landed at the Docks, Master Yoda, Master Windu, and Chancellor Palpatine were waiting there for us. I nodded to Master Yoda as Master and I walked past them and into the Temple. He nodded back and gave a small smile.

                “Everything is going to be different now.” I said blankly.

                “What do you mean?” Master asked as we turned the corner into the corridor with Jedi Quarters.

                “Everything is okay now. There’s no rift. There’s no pain.” I smiled at my satisfaction.

                “That’s not true, I’m afraid. There is always pain, one just needs to know where to look.” We stopped at the entrance to my Quarters and I looked at him, confused.

                “I’ll see you tomorrow, Andora, in the War Room.”

                “Another mission?” I asked, excitedly but also worn out.

                “We’ll see. Goodnight,” He started to head to his Quarters.

                “Goodnight, Master,” I said. “Oh!” Master Kenobi turned around. “Thanks for believing in me and giving me a chance.”

                “Thank you for listening. That’s seems to be a rare occurrence with my Padawans.” I laughed and opened the doors to my Quarters.

                I smiled to myself and sat on my bed. We got Ahsoka back. I got Ahsoka back. From there, I fell asleep in anticipation of my next mission.
