Waking up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, had become your new normal. Yet, you were able to control it better. You took deep shaky breaths as you tapped your fingers against your thumb. Anakin barely stirred underneath you and it was only because of the force. The nightmare had been about torture again. Just the pure trauma of what you went through and refused to talk about.

In the morning, you woke up with your head and a hand on something that moved up and down. Guessing it was Anakin, you tilted your head up toward where their face would be. There he was with his beautiful brown hair and stunning blue eyes. He seemed wide awake but not at all bothered by you sleeping in.

"Good morning, Angel," His voice was still sleepy and it was hot.

"Good morning," Your voice was very rough.

You smiled up at him and he kissed your forehead. Rolling over, now you were fully on top of him.

"Comfortable there, sweetheart?" He chuckled.

You just nodded and placed your hands on either side of his face. Holding yourself up, you leaned down and kissed him softly on the lips. His small kisses were delicate and charming, sending butterflies throughout your body. Then he stopped and brought you down on top of him.

"What was that-" You started but stopped once he turned you over.

He had placed you underneath him with your hands above your head in one swift motion. He didn't say anything, just placed more kisses on your lips. Then he kissed your cheek, then your ear, then your neck.

"You're-"

You pushed Anakin off of you and off of the bed. He stared at confused while catching his balance. Sitting up, you fixed your hair as best you could and turned on a light with the force. Just in time, the girls knocked on the door and you yelled,

"Come in!"

"Good morning!" Auren greeted, walking in first. Ashoka followed closely behind her.

"How'd you sleep?" Ashoka asked both you and Anakin.

"Good," The both of you answered and Anakin smirked at you.

"How about you two?" You asked turning to the two of them who had sat down on the bed next to you.

"Good," They both responded.

Anakin walked toward the door and you knew where he was going, so you followed. The girls stared in confusion just had Anakin had a minute ago.

"Come on!" You waved your hand as Anakin walked out the door. R2, who had been in the corner, woke up and trailed after them.

Once in the hallway, you tied your hair back behind your head. You were wearing the same thing from yesterday but who was going to know? All the Jedi owned were different versions of the same outfit and ponchos. Anakin knocked on Obi-Wan's door and he answered within a few seconds.

"Hungry?" Is all Anakin asked and Obi-Wan nodded. Then he followed you down the hallways.

Anakin led the way to the mess hall as you asked Obi-Wan, "Are we headed back to Coruscant?"

"I believe so, we should be there soon. It's taken so long because they've been picking up battalion from smaller battles."

You nodded and saw Auren do a cartwheel out of the corner of your eye. Then Ashoka did one. Then Auren did a backhand spring and Ashoka did it a second later.

"Are you two having a competition?" You questioned when there was a break.

Auren responded, "Yeah, we wanna know who can do the coolest moves."

"Can you do an aerial?"

You smiled as the looked at each other and then shook their heads. Taking a few quick steps, you did a cartwheel without hands. When you turned back to them, their jaws were on the ground.

"I'm gonna try it!" Ashoka yelled and ran forward.

She tucked her head in and successfully got all the way around before slipping off her feet. She landed on her face, but she did it.

She rolled over, "Woo! I did it!"

"Not as good as my Master!"

"Yeah, but shes had practice." Ashoka stood up and wiped her hands on her pants.

"I have had a lot of practice, I'm four years older than you."

"Technically only three and a half," Auren knew a lot, and you weren't sure how. You just shook your head at her.

Continuing to walk, the girls talked about moves they learned as younglings. R2 chirped and rolled away. When Anakin got to the mess hall, he turned back to you.

"What are you teaching our padawans?"

"Nothing, just showing them some tricks," You smiled and Anakin shook his head.

The girls got in line before you and Obi-Wan was behind you. There were way more people in the mess hall now that it wasn't super late at night. Soldiers filled tables and the air with conversation. You got your portion and the girls went to the one open table. Sitting down next to them, you poked the food with your fork.

Auren and Ashoka were excited about something happening. When you looked up Auren's portion was sparking. Little red flames popped up as quickly as they went away.

"Auren, how did this happen?" You asked calmly as Anakin and Obi-Wan sat next to you, utterly confused.

"I don't know! It just happened!" She laughed with Ashoka and you could tell it was a lie.

"Sure, Sparks."

Taking a bite of your portion, the fire went out. The girls gaped at it and you looked over to see Obi-Wan setting his hand down and smirking. Shaking your head, you continued to eat. The girls talked loudly but finished their food. In contrast, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and you ate in comfortable silence.

You stood up to take your tray and the girls followed. Setting down your tray, you saw Anakin and Obi-Wan laughing together while walking over with their trays. You missed your master, but you'd see her soon. She'd probably be back on Coruscant.

Walking next to Anakin, he said, "Will we be landing soon?"

"We should be," Obi-Wan responded, walking past the table where the girls had stopped.

Together you walked out but you turned back to the girls. They jumped up from the table and ran along after you. Anakin and Obi-Wan walked in front, while the girls stood on either side of you.

"So Master, you really don't remember anything from Mandalore?"

"Well, I remember the bomb," As soon as you finished something flashed through your head.

"Bo bring Y/n back here!" A teen girl with bright white hair in a hood yelled.

You ran beside a younger girl with red hair also in a cloak, she looked about eleven. The older girl was around seventeen. Bo continued running while holding your hand, she ran through crowds on stone streets. All three of you wore little brown robes with the hoods up as Bo stopped by a food stall on the road.

"Shh," She put her finger up to her lips and three-year-old you mimicked her.

She giggled but stopped as the elder girl stopped by the food stall. The wind pushed at her cloak and she had to hold onto her hood. Tilting her head, she looked at something in the distance. Then she took a step back and darted her eyes over to you. She looked terrified.

Using hand motions, she told you to scoot into the alley beside you. Bo looked confused but she obeyed. The older girl crouched down beside the two of you and brought down her hood.

"You need to get Y/n out of here," She addressed Bo but her eyes would switch to you every few seconds.

"What's happening, Satine?"

"Dont worry, just get back to the palace. I'll be right behind you." It's for their own good.

You heard her thoughts but that wasn't abnormal. Bo nodded and grabbed your hand, taking you around the corner and on your way to the palace.

"Why are we-" You began to ask but were interrupted by a bomb.

The ground shook and you fell away from Bo. Screaming, someone grabbed you from behind. You bit and kicked and scratched but they were far too large.

"(Y/n/n)!" Bo reached out and ran toward you, but the person took you into the dust.

"That's all? Just the worst part?" Auren looked at Ashoka and missed your shocked face.

You mumbled, "I guess so."

Following behind Obi-Wan and Anakin, you saw a captain coming toward you.

"Hello Generals," He said to Obi-Wan and nodded to Anakin, "We're here."

It was Rex who had told them as he walked by Anakin's side. The girls continued to talk about growing up anywhere but the temple. You, on the other hand, knew what not growing up at the temple could do to Jedi. Take Anakin and those sand people on Tatooine.

The doors opened and you walked out into the fresh daylight of Coruscant. You had missed the nice breezes and smells of the planet after being on Tatooine and the Jedi cruisers. The sky was another thing you missed and the colors it presented. Walking into the Jedi temple, Obi-Wan broke away first. You didn't ask, assuming he just needed some alone time.

The girls went off when one of their friends walked by. They each looked at their master and you and Anakin nodded. Now that it was just you and Anakin, without words you started heading toward either one of your rooms.

"Anakin," You started.

"Hmm?"

He looked down at you, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Mandalore. I was kinda trying to forget everything that happened when, you know."

"It's alright, it just surprised me that's all."

"Okay, but I should tell you something else too."

Turning into your room Anakin joked, "You're the Duchesses sister?" He laughed to himself and now you had no clue how to tell him. Seeing your expression, he stopped chuckling. "Wait..."

"Well, you see the girl from Death Watch, that's Bo-Katan. She's my older sister."

"Oh, umm, alright," He sat down on your bed.

"But, Bo-Katan's older sister, so therefore my sister is Satine."

"And you're not joking."

"At this point, I wish I was."

You paced in front of Anakin as he sat his head in his hands. Fiddling with your fingers, you wondered if you would ever even see Satine again.

"Okay," Anakin looked up and you stopped, "and you know that this Bo-Katan, who I'm assuming is the one who told you, is telling the truth?"

"I know so," Walking over to Anakin, you leaned down and put your forehead on his. Pushing the memory toward him, you felt the connection as you watched it again in your head. Some things were blurred out in the background, objects or people you didn't quite remember the details of. Overall, the memory was pretty complete.

When it finished, you stepped back anxiously awaiting Anakin's reaction. His eyes opened and he started at you in a mix of fright and astonishment. Staring into your eyes, he saw how nervous you were. He stood up and hugged you without saying a word.

"I'm sorry you have to go through all this."

"It'll be okay, maybe I'll find some of my family that doesn't want to kill the Jedi."

When he broke away, he placed his hand on his head, "This is a lot Y/n, even for you. Wait, have you told Obi-Wan."

"No, you're the only person I've told this all to."

"Okay. Are you going to tell him?"

"Well," You sat down, "I feel like he deserves to know, but what if it backfires? What if it messes up our relationship or his and Satines?"

"I think that's the price of the truth, but maybe you can wait a bit. Maybe you'll get an opportunity to tell him easily," He sat down next to you.

"You really think this could be easy?"

"Well, if the force is in your favor."

You chuckled and leaned against his shoulder. He brushed your hair from your forehead and kissed it.

"I'm sorry I put this all on you."

"It's alright, now we have more secrets together. We can have more inside jokes."

"You always seem to put a nice spin on things Anakin," Together you chuckled.

"I think it switches between the two of us."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Master Yoda had summoned you and Anakin to the Jedi council room. On the way, you searched for your Master but she wasn't there. R2 had appeared again though and waited outside the door. When you opened the door Obi-Wan stood in the middle as well. He turned to you both and nodded so you did the same.

"Have a mission, you three do." Master Yoda started, "A bounty on Count Dooku, pirates have."

Standing in the center of the room, you glanced at Anakin in shock. He wore the same wide-eyed expression.

Master Windu continued, "Pirates based in the outer rim, more specifically the planet Florrum. Have captured the Count and are putting a bounty on his head. The interesting part is, the bounty has only been given to us. They haven't told the separatists or Sith about this."

You nodded taking in the information as he continued, "Your mission is to go to Florrum, retrieve Dooku, and bring him back here where he'll be taken care of. You will take a Jedi cruiser now, you are dismissed."

Bowing your head, you took your leave of the council room. Once out, you turned to Anakin and Obi-Wan who were behind you.

"This seems... Suspicious," You said as Obi-Wan stroked his beard in thought.

"It does, and it seems your padawans will be staying here."

"Oh right, I didn't think of that." Anakin rose his eyebrows at his old master's words.

"I doubt they'll like that," You began to walk as you talked, wanting to find the padawans.

Of course, only a few steps later, the girls came running in front of you. Drifting to a stop, they had such confused expressions.

"Is it true?" Auren asked.

Ashoka continued, "We're not going with you?"

"Yeah, you'll have to stay here," You explained as they walked closer to you.

"But we just became padawans and there is a whole war out there! We should be helping."

Anakin responded to his padawan, "If it makes you feel any better, we won't be doing much fighting anyway."

"What are you doing then?" Auren asked again.

"We're going to retrieve Count Dooku, who was captured by pirates."

The girls chuckled with each other, "He was captured? By pirates?"

"Yeah, it does seem a little silly."

Right as you said that Obi-Wan took a step forward. We needed to be going.

"Girls, I trust you'll focus on your studies for a day or two?" You questioned more seriously.

"Yeah, I think we can manage."

"All right, we need to be going. Stay safe!" Anakin jogged after Obi-Wan who had gotten a few steps ahead.

"R2 will be here with you!" You followed as the girls watched you leave. You didn't want to leave, but it would be more dangerous to take them.

Boarding the Jedi cruiser, Rex and Jyp were waiting at control. They had their helmets in their arms and nodded to you.

"Good to see you again, captains," You smiled at them. Their smiles were different than each other, Rex's smile was light and almost even across his face. Jyp's smile was cocked to one side and had a dimple.

"Good to see you too, Generals," Rex responded, "Are the commanders not joining us on this one?"

Anakin had stopped on your right, "Nope and neither are you. We're going in solo."

They looked at each other in confusion and then back to you, "Alright then."

Obi-Wan had stood behind you as a communication cane through. He pressed the button and you all walked toward him. Master Windu stood with Master Yoda on his left.

"We have more information for you three," Master Windu started, "First off, your roles, Anakin and Obi-Wan will be the Jedi negotiators we sent and Y/n will be a translator. This way we can send more Jedi without it looking suspicious. Secondly, once you're in be prepared for tricks. These pirates are known for scheming against anyone and everyone."

You all nodded at the information and Obi-Wan responded,

"Thank you, Masters."

They bowed and disappeared from the table, "I guess I better freshen up on my languages."

"And I guess I better freshen up on my negotiating," Anakin chuckled.

"Yes, we'll have to be better actors if we are to pull this off."

You nodded and watched out the front of the ship. Hopefully, you would be getting close. Anakin walked off and you didn't know where to. So you decided to walk around, plus you were bored. You walked through control and back through the ship. The people around you decreased as you got farther back.

Now you walked through a hallway with lots of closets and room doors. They were all labeled with B for bed or S for storage with a number following. You walked past two closets in a row and came to a third one as you felt something off.

Your hand was snatched and you were pulled into the storage room. There was a hand over your mouth but you felt surprisingly calm. Anakin's presence seemed to do that to you. When he realized you weren't screaming he took his hand away from your mouth and waist.

"What were you thinking?" You whisper-shouted at him.

"I wasn't, you take up to much of my mind."

"Anakin, we're going to get caught if you keep doing stuff like this."

"We may, or we may not. I'm going with the latter."

You chuckled at his arrogance as he grabbed your hand. He brought it up to where his lips must be and kissed the back. He continued up your wrist until he hit your white sleeve. So he rolled it up and went on. Now your sleeve was on your bicep as little butterfly kisses buttered your arm. Anakin skipped to your neck and you sharply inhaled.

At your jawline, he skipped straight to your lips. Which made you gasp again, but shorter as his lips were on yours. He had tilted your head upward and let go of your hand. Placing his hands on your cheeks. You did the same, holding his face against yours.

The kiss deepened and you moved your hands to his hair. Pulling on it, he gave out a small moan. Which made you freeze for a second. Chuckling, he maneuvered you against a wall while powering your hands over your head.

That's when a noise came from outside and Anakin backed up just a smidge. Voices talked as they walked by, "Why'd they send us to find the Generals?"

Kriff.

You found Anakin's hand and dragged him toward the door. Pressing your ear up against it, you waited for the voices to get pretty far away. Once they were down the hall, you opened the door and pulled Anakin out. You took a few steps before a voice came from behind you.

"What are you two doing?"
