Welcome back people, Amzoka has returned! I am so happy to be back here with you guys. I love my fandom life. I'm so sorry for the long wait, you guys! Its just the Holidays were super busy and my cousins from the other side of the world came over, and I really wanted to spend some quality time with them. For the sake of my readers, I decided to make this chapter extra long. Enjoy :)

Ashley returned to the Temple at midnight unnoticed. She quickly dressed into her PJs and climbed onto her bed. She was more tired than usual that night. Soon, she drifted off to sleep. Though, there was something she couldn't stop thinking about. Was Ahsoka OK?

Time passed quickly for the young girl. Over the next few days, she decided chilling with the other younglings was for the best. They soon fully excepted her as a team member and stopped the almost-daily pranking. Pretty soon, the day of Ahsoka's arrival had dawned.

Beep beep beep beep! Went Ashley's alarm. "Ash!" Ashla yelled. Sound began to creep into Ashley's consciousness. "Ash!". Still nothing. "Aaassh!". "Whoa! Wha-huh?" Ashley exclaimed, almost falling off of her bed. "Ash! Your alarm is ringing! You said something about Padawan Tano's arrival, didn't you?" Ashla shouted insanely. "Wait, what?!". "Oh yeah, and we received word that Ahsoka's ship is landing soon. You might wanna go-".

Without another word, Ash slipped her black hoodie on, and ran to the landing pad. Ashla face-palmed. "Here we go again…" she sighed.

Moments later, Ashley flung herself onto the large landing area where Ahsoka's ship was going to touch down. The smell of ozone drifted through the air, indicating that her ship had already begun it's landing sequence. The ship touched down, and the blast door opened slowly, revealing the younglings inside. Ashley ran to Ahsoka, her eyes filled with tears and hope.

The younglings inside rushed out happily as Ashley ran to her friend. "Hey Ash" she greeted as she tiredly limped out of the vehicle. "Hi Ahsoka. Did everything go OK?" Ashley asked worriedly. "Well, if you consider me getting captured by space pirates and then saved by a group of younglings 'OK'… then yes" she replied jokingly. "Haha. Missed your sense of humour when you were gone. Seriously though, what's your condition?" Ashley asked suddenly switching to a serious tone.

"Oh, uh, don't worry about me, kid. Your directions were pretty accurate" she mumbled. "Yeah.. right. You're limping, your face looks messed up, and your voice is all weird. You sure you don't want to go to the med bay first?". Ashley was really sounding concerned now. "Ash, I-I'm…". Ahsoka stumbled for a moment. When she regained her balance, she found Ashley looking at her with large eyes. "Alright, thats it, I'm taking you to the med bay".

Moments later, Ahsoka was hooked up to some scanners in one of the rooms. This is a place where many Jedi Padawans, Knights, and even parts of the MedCorps came to work. A medical droid had just finished bandaging her leg. "Well, scanners show that you tore a muscle. Probably when you fell into Hondo's ship. Nothing that some bacta can't handle" Ashley stated, walking back into the room. "Thanks Ash. When will I be released?". "Uh…" Ashley glanced at the chronometer. "Soon. We just have to wait a few minutes for Barriss to come and unhook this machine" she said, helping her up.

"By the way, did you know that Barriss works here sometimes? I completely forgot about it, so I was surprised to see her here"

"So was I. Thanks again. Uh, mind telling me how the Force you got that information?"

"Not really," Ashley replied lightly as she turned her iPad on, "As if I don't have tons of recordings of your past and future!" she exclaimed, scrolling though her AVPlayerHD. "You're kidding. You're kidding right?" Ahsoka denied. "Nope. What do you want to watch?". "Uh.. I don't know, actually" she said as she feverishly scrolled through the episodes. "What do these characters mean?". "Oh, right. You can't read my language. Uh, pick a number: fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen?" Ashley remembered.

"Fourteen" Ahsoka replied.

"Now pick another number from 1-3"

"Uh, two"

"OK. Last number. Your choices are 1, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, and 22"

"Hmm.. Four?" Ahsoka decided. "OK, nice choice. You chose an episode about Senator Amidala and Master Skywalker. This episode creeps me out every time, but I think you'll like it. It's called Senate Spy. And don't worry, this doesn't affect your future. It happened two years ago" Ashley finished.

Just before they could start the episode, the blast door opened with a loud swoosh! "Greetings Ahsoka. May I proceed?" Barriss asked as she entered the room. "Yeah, sure" Ahsoka acknowledged, laying back down. But before Barriss could start, Ahsoka signalled for Ashley to come closer. "Hey, can you knock me out before she does that?". Ashley just smiled. And before Ahsoka knew what was going on…

Knockout.

Later that day, Ashley decided to gather with her friends. Regular training would resume the following day, and she needed to work on her skills. Plus she had a few questions to ask her roomies. "Hey guys" Ashley greeted. "Hey Ash!" Ashla replied. And just like that, randomness broke loose. "Ash! Where have you been?!" J.K. asked worriedly. "How's Padawan Tano?" Liam inquired. "Where is Padawan Tano?" Jempa and Chian asked in unison.

Ashley could only chuckle at her friends' questions. If she showed up looking fine, wouldn't Ahsoka be fine too? "Haha. You guys.." she laughed. Her friends looked at her with curious eyes. "So.. she's OK then?" Ashla inquired. Ashley forced herself to stop laughing. "Yes. Just a torn leg muscle. No big deal. So, um, I was wondering.. could we go to the practice grounds? By the way, since when were you guys concerned about Ahsoka?" she said.

"Yeah, I think we should go down to the training grounds. At least before lunch" J.K. said, changing the subject. He seemed embarrassed about his worried act.

Soon, the younglings were practicing with their lightsabers. Each youngling against another with similar skill. Ashley against Ashla, Jempa against Chian, and so on. Ashley and Ashla seemed to fight the hardest; slashing and jabbing at each other with the aggression of form five. Pretty soon the friendly little sparring fight they were having became an uphill battle for the both of them.

"Ashla? What are you two doing?!" J.K. yelled once he figured out what was going on. The Togruta didn't respond. Both girls were too captured by the battle to notice. "Ash! You listening? Stop it!" Mari tried. Ash seemed to snap a little out of her fighting trance. "Haha, are you guys kidding? The most that can happen is a small burn. You used to know that J.K." she replied lightly.

"Small burn? You can literally stun nerve endings with these things!"

Ashley didn't reply.

"Ash! Stop! Ashla, listen to me…"

The two didn't speak. Suddenly, Chian saw something strange about their eyes. The eyes of both girls were randomly flashing from black to gold. And all younglings knew what this meant: the dark side. Chian stepped back. "Guys, look! We have to stop them now!" he yelled. "Look at what?" Jempa asked. He gestured to their eyes. All the younglings in the room knew what he meant now. Upon seeing this, Mari, being the youngest, couldn't take it anymore.

The girls were now onto each other. Ashla, about to throw her saber at Ashley's face, smiled darkly. Mari dropped to her knees and screamed.

"STOP!"

This awoke Ashla from her trance. Her eyes turning black again, she gasped for air and backed away. Even then, it was too late.

The sapphire blade came down at Ashley's face.

Amzoka's Corner

Ooh.. cliff hanger! I have a feeling next chapter is gonna be fun to write. Sorry for the long wait! I had some tests in school, and I went to a camp for a few days so this wasn't able to come out until now. Also, I've decided it's about time that I posted fics about other fandoms as well. Don't worry! For every one story I post for another fandom, another story for Star Wars will be posted. The new fandom is a surprise. Also, my one year anniversary on FanFiction is coming in April, so expect a special oneshot for that.

As always, review! Give feedback, constructive criticism and request are greatly appreciated as well, no hates/flames please!
