I am procrastinating to the fullest. And so I decided to continue this (when I am supposed to be studying ahahahaha) :P
The usual Jedi trio were relaxing at their quarters after a mission. Obi-wan made tea for all of them, and he sipped at his own cup of tea peacefully, while Anakin and Ahsoka chattered away at random topics. The latest Holonet show, fashion, food, basically everything that was not related to the war or politics.
It was a precious opportunity. Well... Until Ahsoka decided to mention that she had signed up to help in lightsaber classes again.
Uh-oh.
Obi-wan hadn't forgotten about their funny first meeting in the lightsaber class, and surprising enough, both of them had conveniently forgotten about it. And they didn't even have the chance to talk to each other about it, so Obi-wan was almost certain they wouldn't find out... Almost.
' I seriously don't get your obsession with lightsaber tutoring,' Anakin snorted. ' Younglings infuriate me.'
' You are being mean, Master,' Ahsoka said. ' Not all younglings are annoying, for your information. Katooni and the others are extremely sweet and hardworking.'
' Bleh. I just don't like the sound of it,' Anakin said haughtily. ' I learnt it the hard way.'
' You know,' Ahsoka pointed out. ' You always walk around screaming about how much you hate younglings and would never take a Padawan etc etc, but no one actually knows why. Care to share?'
Another uh-oh, from Obi-wan. He ought to stop the conversation right there, but here he was, the somewhat selfish part of him prompting him to just sip his tea calmly and watch the series of events unfold in front of him without interfering.
Anakin scowled, ' Because, when I was a Padawan, I signed up for lightsaber instructing, once. And after that, I swore never to volunteer again!'
' How bad can that be?' Ahsoka rolled her eyes.
' It was terrible!' Anakin said dramatically. ' They don't even listen to my instructions and excellent advice! Like, who is the trained Padawan here?' Obi-wan snorted at that.
' For example?'
Oh, here we go. Obi-wan watched the pair intently over the rim of his teacup.
Anakin puffed out his chest angrily, ' There was this girl in the class! She just kept scowling off into my face, and even talked back when I introduced myself to her. Then she was demonstrating her lightsaber moves to me, and I gave her advice, but she just wouldn't listen to me!' As he was rattling away, he failed to notice that Ahsoka's eyes were starting to widen in realisation of what he had just said.
Anakin continued,' Heck! I can remember what she said to me. She said something like, like, "It's none of your business anyway, now quit criticising my lightsaber grip"-'
' And give me actual constructive advice,' Ahsoka finished with a weak whisper.
' Yes, Ahsoka, that was-' Anakin's eyes widened as well, and stared at his Padawan, who was staring back with shock.
The silence was deafening.
' Awkward,' Obi-wan drawled and broke the silence.
' Wait no no no no,' Anakin wheezed. ' That can't be.'
Ahsoka groaned, and she held her face in her hands.
Obi-wan set down his teacup, ' You know what. I managed to piece up this connection when both of you told me about this on the same day.'
' You knew?!' Anakin screeched at his former Master.
' Of course, I do,' Obi-wan grinned. ' Well let's see. You two got stuck together years later after that upsetting argument. It's the will of the Force, obviously.'
Ahsoka was still hiding behind her hands, not knowing whether she was supposed to feel horrified that she DID get stuck with the 'obnoxious Padawan' or that Anakin was the 'obnoxious Padawan'.
The same thing happened to Anakin. He was mortified that Ahsoka was the 'bratty youngling' and he DID become her Master.
' There's no use lamenting or moaning about the past,' Obi-wan sighed. ' Again, it's by the will of the Force you got paired up together. And you should be thankful that both of you worked well as a pair.'
His statement was received with irritated glares and scowls.
Yeah, it's short. :P But I gotta go back to my revision! :DDD *or else I will really fail*
