Okay so Christmas is almost here so I decided to write this little festive story until Christmas. I have made up my own holiday for the togruta people so please just go with it and if you want to use it go ahead. Anyway here comes the first chapter.

Ahsoka looked out the widow as the ship began to fly away from her home planet. She couldn't help but sigh. It was near Lautoui, the holiday where the togrutas celebrated their family and lives. She was only on Shili for but three years but still remembered waking up and going into the main part of the home and there was an akul rug on the ground with the furry side up. Under the rug would be a few gifts. It was legend that Riah Coa, the togruta who lead the war over the other aliens who had wanted Shili as well, would come and leave them as a reward for staying and working together. Ahsoka wished that Jedi had traditions like those as well.

"Long day?"

Turned to see Rex looking at her.

"Hmmmmm? Oh it's you Rex. No, it's just I miss being a regular togruta."

"With all do respect sir but weren't you there for only a few years as a child."

"Yeah but Master Plo Koon made me learn all about my culture."

"Ah."

"Rex did you ever have any special occasion on Kamino?"

"No, Sir."

"Oh, I am sorry."

"Don't be. That's just the way it was back there."

"Do you miss it?"

Rex kept quiet for a moment as he thought it through.

"Sir, I can't say. It is true there was harsh training but it was home. Sir, did you have special tradition on Shili? I've read of traditions of holidays but are they real? "

"Yeah. At Shili, it's called Lautoui."

Ahsoka went on to tell Rex all about Lautoui and presents she had once gotten. Rex listened intently as went on. He had never seen her so as eager about a holiday before.

"Sir?" Rex asked after her rant about Lautoui.

"Yeah?"

"Why did you celebrate it? I mean it is a celebration of independence and victory but why do you keep celebrating it if it was over thousands of years ago? And why do you give gifts?

"

"I……..don't know. I guess we do it for knowing our history and celebrating who we are. And I think we give gifts just for fun."

"I wish we had things like that here. What is it like to get a gift?"

"You've never gotten a gift?"

"Well...no. Unless getting my rifle counts."

Ahsoka's worried face broke into a sad little smile.

"Well, Sir, I must be on my way but it was good to talk to you."

Ahsoka watched as he walked down the hall. She looked back to the window at Shili just to see for a second before going to hyperspace. Suddenly Ahsoka got an idea and smiled widely. She quickly ran off to her room to put her idea into action.

"This will be a Lautoui to remember." Ahsoka said to herself.

I hope that was not too bad. These chapters will be very short but I hope you will still like it. See ya in the next chapter!
