IV. Of Search Warrants and Annoyed Neighbors

"Master?"

"Yes?"

"Can we go outside?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because you're device isn't working and the humans here would panic if they saw an alien walking around."

Ahsoka snorted. "For your information, I am not an alien. Humans are the aliens!" She said loftily, heading into the kitchen for something to drink.

Anakin looked up from a sports car magazine, (he had been loudly commenting on how humans on Earth had such a low expectation of what would be considered a 'sweet ride',) and glared at his apprentice. "You know the rules, Snips," he said sternly and looked back down.

Ahsoka slammed the fridge door and walked back into the sitting room. "Since when did you care about rules?" She asked incredulously. "You're always telling me that the rules that are set up for us aren't always right!"

"Yeah, but it's different this time." Anakin replied, his voice unusually calm.

Ahsoka sighed and sat down from across her master. "Look at me in the eye, Master," she said quietly and Anakin looked up.

"Tell me that you don't want to get out as much as I do." She continued in the same, slow, quiet, deliberate voice.

"I don't want to get out as much as you do." Anakin said flatly and looked back down at the magazine. "Don't you have something to do?"

"Argh!" Ahsoka crossed her arms and slumped back in her chair. "I'm tired of being cooped up here, Master! Every day is the same! It's always oh, go back into your room, Ahsoka, or shut the window, someone might see you, Ahsoka, and you're not allowed to go outside, Ahsoka – there's someone across the street!"

"Those are all valid points." Anakin continued, glaring down at the magazine pages.

Ahsoka groaned in frustration and buried her head in her arms. "It's boring in here!" She yelled. "You won't ever let me go outside, not even for a little bit! It's cruel and unfair!"

"Shut up!" Anakin yelled indignantly, pushing the magazine off the table. "You are going to stay inside whether you like it or not!"

"Oh, yeah? Watch me!" Ahsoka screamed defiantly and ran out of the room.

"Ahsoka!" Anakin yelled and ran after her. He grabbed her by the arm and she cried out in frustration.

"Let go of me!"

"No!"

"I want to go outside!"

"You can't!"

Ahsoka made a loud, irritated shrieking sound, one that she and Anakin both were completely foreign to. They both froze.

"What was that?" Anakin asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ahsoka dropped her arm miserably and muttered, "I wanna go outside."

Anakin didn't reply. For a minute, he actually pitied his apprentice. It probably wasn't fun for her, remaining inside all day. No wonder why she was so annoyed.

"Listen, Snips." Anakin said at last. "I'll make a deal with you – if Obi-wan says yes, then we can go outside. Got it?"

Ahsoka perked up. "I guess so," she replied. "Thanks, Skyguy."

"You're welcome."

Obi-wan Kenobi knew that something was wrong even before he saw the police cars parked outside of the house. He had felt a strange, sinking sensation in his stomach while he was going out for the groceries. At first, he was surprised – what happened?

Now, as he got out of his car and strode towards the house, he knew why he had felt such a premonition in the first place.

Anakin was sitting in the kitchen, his arms crossed defiantly as a police officer talked to him in a loud, authorative tone.

"We have had reports that you had tortured a child." He was saying as Obi-wan drew nearer.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Anakin replied coolly. "There isn't anyone else here."

"The neighbors told us that there were sounds of a young child screaming to go outside." The officer replied, taking out a notepad and jotting down some words. "And now, there is no sign of a child. That looks a bit suspicious, don't you think?"

Anakin lifted his hands and said, "Must have been the television."

"The television has almost a week layer's worth of dust." The officer replied. Before Anakin could reply, he pointed his pen inside the house. "Of course, you won't refuse if we searched your house just for a couple more minutes, right? If you're telling us the truth, you have nothing to hide."

As soon as the officer walked into the house, Obi-wan whispered, "What did you do?"

Anakin sighed and rubbed his brow tiredly. "Ahsoka wanted to get outside." He muttered. "I guess we were a bit louder than we thought."

"Ahsoka can't go outside, Anakin – her device broke down, remember?" Obi-wan asked, exasperated.

"She was tired of being cooped up, Master!" Anakin replied indignantly. "Can you blame her?"

Obi-wan face palmed. "Well, Ahsoka's good at hiding. I think we'll be fine as long as nothing extreme happens."

Those words hadn't even left Obi-wan's lips when there was a loud scream from inside.

Anakin and Obi-wan exchanged exasperated, tired looks before running into the house. They headed up the stairs and were quickly pushed back by a shaky, white-faced officer.

"There's a…there's a thing in one of the rooms!" He swallowed, pointing upstairs. "It…it…"

The officer never got to finish his sentence.

"You will forget that you ever saw the uh…thing," Anakin said slowly, waving his hand in front of the officer's face.

The officer's jaw went slack and he nodded slowly. "I will forget that I ever saw the…thing…" He mumbled.

"You will go outside and visit your family…" Obi-wan added and the officer nodded again.

"I will go outside and visit my family…" He murmured and walked down the stairs in a dazed, uneven step.

Anakin straightened himself and said, "Maybe we should do that on everyone."

At that very moment, Ahsoka suck her head out of her bedroom and said sheepishly, "I think someone might have seen me."

"You think?" Anakin snorted and Obi-wan simply shook his head.

"It wasn't my fault that we had to leave Earth early." Ahsoka muttered, crossing her arms as the ship headed out of Earth's atmosphere.

"Yes, it was." Anakin replied tiredly, rubbing his brow.

"There was nothing wrong with Earth and it was only a matter of time before we would leave." Obi-wan said lightly.

Anakin sighed and rested his head on the back of his seat. "Thank the Force." He muttered. "Earth was annoying to be in."

"You're only saying that because of the pollen allergies." Ahsoka replied loftily. "I thought that it was okay, besides the fact that humans there didn't know what a Togruta was."

"I think they're lucky for not knowing what a Togruta is." Anakin muttered and was promptly answered with a slap on the back of his head.

A/N: I know that I said I'd have another chapter, but I was struggling so I just decided to get on with it already. XD I think this is the first time I've ever done something like this...(not writing another chapter, I mean. XD)

Ahsoka: Well, I mean, now you only have about nine stories left to update, right?

Me: Good point.

Ahsoka: Yup. *grins*

Me: So...can you do the review notice?

Ahsoka: I've been doing it without you telling me this entire time and NOW you want me to do it again?

Me: Er...yes?

Ahsoka: *Rolls eyes* Fine. Review, give constructive criticism, just no flames. Seriously.

Me: That covers it! See ya later! ;)
