POV: Ahsoka Tano

When I wake, I am in a large room. I recognize it as the Jedi Temple medbay. Anakin's gripping my hand, and he is snoring loudly. I stir, and sit upright. Anakin wakes from the shift of my hand.

"Are you okay, Ahsoka? You collapsed outside."
"Yes I'm fine. How long was I out?"
"Two days. How are you feeling?"
"Much better," I answer with a smile, "and I've got something to say that I think you'll like," I add.

"What is it, Ahsoka?"

"I'm going to come back. That's what I was going to say before I collapsed. I don't want to hurt you, Anakin."
I lean over to Anakin, and kiss him full on the lips.

"I love you, Anakin," I say. "That's why I'm going to stay. Because I love you and don't want to hurt you. After all, why would I hurt you if I loved you? And since it would hurt you for me to leave, I won't leave."

POV: Third Person

For another year, Anakin and Ahsoka went on Jedi missions together until one day, something happened...

POV: Ahsoka Tano

Anakin and I sat in our dorm room. The door blows open, and Anakin ignites his lightsaber, stepping in front of me protectively. I leap up, and ignite mine. Blaster bolts fly from the open door, and Anakin deflects them. He springs, his azure blade slashing through the air and destroying the clone shock troopers' blasters. He Force pushes them against the wall of the hallway, knocking them out on impact, and gestures.
"Come on, Ahsoka! I don't know why the clones are after us, but we've got to get out of here!"

We run out into the hallway, lightsabers in ready positions. A squad of commandoes runs out in front of us. Anakin's lightsaber flashes five times, destroying the clones' blasters. Anakin Force pushes all but one into the wall, knocking them down. He pins one to the wall with his mechanical arm.

"Why have the clones turned on the Jedi?"
"You'll never win, traitor," the clone growls, as he pulls out his sidearm and fires into Anakin's stomach.

Anakin is thrown away. He rolls to his feet and leaps at the clone, swinging his lightsaber. The clone's head fell. My gut screams danger, so I tackle him, knocking him through a hole that had opened in the hole. We enter the dark hole just as a pair of laser blasts scorch through the space where we were standing.
