Anakin's POV

"Master Skywalker we would like both you and your padawan to return for your mission report we would like all the details and since you were at one point separated we need both of you here." Mace tells me.

"I don't think Ahsoka is ready to tell what she knows she is still recovering from the mission in many ways…" I say.

"I'm afraid she will have to rest later we need both of your reports."

"Yes master." I say reluctantly and head back towards my dorm.

Ahsoka's POV

I attempt to grab the water Anakin left me but it seems like every little movement I make makes the pain feel worse. I'm about to use the force to grab it when all of a sudden the door to the dorm opens and Anakin surprisingly walks in. "Back so soon? So… what did they say?" It scares me that the look on his face is expressing extreme stress and worry.

"Um, well Ahoska they want us both there to give our report…" My stomach tightens with worry I'm not sure if I can do that...

"But the Council doesn't even know what state I'm in when they see me in this wheelchair they'll know that something really went wrong. And if your punished for what you did...I don't think I could stand being there with it all being my fault..."

"Snips stop blaming yourself. I never blamed you Ahsoka for anything. Let's just go and get it over with."

"Fine let's go." I say.

Anakin's POV

I can feel Ahsoka's uneasiness, stress, and worry as I roll her down the hall toward the chambers. "Ashoka I can sense you are stressed, don't worry everything will be fine." I say.

"Will you stop saying that, I know you are just trying to help but I know for a fact that things aren't going to work out as well as you are making it seem like they will." She says. I sigh because deep down I know she is right but I don't want her to feel bad about anything. Eventually we reach the chambers and Ahsoka looks at me. "Anakin whatever they tell you or whatever blame they put on you don't believe it. All of the failure was my fault." She says and I'm about to respond and tell her its not her fault but we are called into the chambers. You can immediately see the shock on a lot of the masters faces when they see Ahsoka. I see Ahsoka cave into herself again when she sees their reactions. I put my hand on her shoulder to try to comfort her but it doesn't seem to help.

"Palawan Tano had some trouble on the mission you did hmm." Yoda says. I immediately feel a rush of anger for everyone in the room ever since we arrived all anyone has done is tried to put Ahsoka down or make her feel bad and I can't stand it.

"Y-y-yes master." she says I feel her shaking as she attempts to continue taking. "I tried my best master but parts of the mission did prove to difficult for my skills and I apologize for my failure."

"How did these injuries occur padawan Tano?'" Mace asks and I feel Ahsoka squeeze my hand and I squeeze back telling her its ok.

"W-w-we split up to look for the s-senator and I failed to keep focus my thoughts were drifting off to…other places so by the time I heard the bombs it was to late. After the bombs the droids attacked and I was unable to defend myself resulting in my other injuries ." She says bowing her head in shame.

"What happened after the attack padawan?" A master asks.

"Um..well the droids led by some allien general captured me and the remaining clones and they brought us and held us in a room down the hall…with the senator."

"And how did you manage to escape?' Mace asks.

"I was rescued...by master Skywalker…" She says some masters exchange glances but I don't care.

"Master Skywalker was the mission successful for you hm?" Yoda asks. Ashoka looks up at me and I keep my gaze locked on her and not the masters as I answer.

"Well…we were unable…to rescue the senator." I say.

"And how were you able to rescue your Palawan but not the senator Mace asks. Oh no here it goes

"Um..well..I got to the room and they had me at gunpoint and we were arguing because I was trying to get him to release everyone. Finally he said that for a price he would release the clones…and…one of the capture girls…" I try to continue but I am cut off.

"And you chose your padawan over the senator!?" Mace yells interrupting me.

"Y-y-yes master." I say my voice clearly shaking from being yelled at. Ashoka is still slouching and now she is refusing to look at anyone not even me but her hand remains tightly holding mine as if it is the last thing keeping her alive.

"So let me get this straight instead of accomplishing your mission you sacrificed it to save your weak worthless injured and wheelchair ridden padawan!?" Mace yells. Her grip tightens with every word that comes out of his mouth and the sadness and stress is radiating off her at high amounts. Thats it that was to much.

"Don't you dare say that! She is completely worth saving more then the senator! She is not just my padawan but she is my friend and I don't want anything happening to her!" I yell.

"Silence Skywalker! It is clear that you have become to emotionally tied to your padawan to do what needs to be done but not only that but you failed a mission and got a galactic senator killed to save your padawan. There will be consequences for your actions." Mace says. I am about to respond when I'm interrupted by Ahsoka,

"Masters it is clear to you all and me that I was the cause for the failure of the mission if I hadn't been captured we would not be in this situation. If you are going to punish anyone...punish me."

"No! You better not punish her! This mission was my responsibility and I failed." I say stepping in front of Ahsoka.

"Indeed, however we must discus the outcome and we would like you to leave the room but we wish to further discuss things with padawan Tano." Mace says. I look back to Ahsoka who has a look of fear on her face. She was already worried about going and now to face these monsters who don't have any respect for her at all worries me. "Now Skywalker." I nod instead of bow as I angrily leave the room squeezing Ahsoka's hand before I go.

Ahsoka's POV

"Padawan Tano has your master had any other attachment issues that have gotten in the way of missions or other things?" a master asks.

"What are you talking about?" I say as I glare at them all.

"Padawan he just asked you a question answer him." Mace says sternly.

"I don't feel comfortable discussing..."

"Padawan Tano it doesn't matter what you feel we are asking you a question to solve a problem. So unless you too want punishment for yourself and more for your master!"

"S-s-sorry forgive me...um he does tend to care a lot about people...and there have been times where he has...put friends before the mission." I answer feeling terrible for talking about Anakin behind his back.

"I see thank you for being honest." Mace

"Padawan Tano do you believe it is ok that your master defied the council?" Another master asks. I hesitate, I did think that whenever Anakin chose to save me over completing the mission it wasn't the best choice but he is my friend...what do I say...

"He...I...yes master..." I say staring at the floor sad about my choice to tell them.

"Very good now Master Kenobi will you take Padawan Tano out of the room we need to discuss." Master Windu says.

"Yes master Obi Wan says as he walks over and pushes me out of the room. I see Anakin waiting outside the room and I feel terrible. Obi Wan finishes pushing me out and then walks back into the chambers. "So how did it go?" Anakin asks.

"Um fine I guess." I say trying to avoid looking at him.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?" He asks. I can't tell him.

"Um nothing why are you asking?"

"Ahsoka I can tell you're upset. Please tell me? Did the council say something bad to you again because if so I will go talk to them."

"I'm fine." I insist trying to look happy.

"No your not Ahsoka please just tell me I..." I can't stand it anymore,

"I...I can't tell you! You'll hate me! You'll never want to be my friend ever again!" I say throwing my head in my hands to avoid his reaction but surprisingly he doesn't yell back.

"Ahsoka, it's alright whatever you say I won't get mad I promise and I'll still be your friend." I hesitate not knowing what to say.

"I'm so sorry Anakin." I say quietly but loud enough where he hears it.

"Wait sorry about what? If this is about the mission I already told you none of it..."

"I talked about you behind your back." I blurt out.

"What?" He asks confused. I can't believe I said it.

"I...I...the council they were asking me questions about you...and I told them some things I regret and I'm sorry." I say. I look up slowly to see how he reacts but he just stares at me. Suddenly the door opens and Obi Wan steps out gesturing for us to come in. Anakin slowly nods and pushes me in but now I avoid his gaze because his silent reaction is as bad as any at all.

"Master Skywalker and Padawan Tano this ordeal has shed light to some pretty serious problems for both of you, especially you Skywalker." I lower my head and look at my hands I don't want to be here if he gets in trouble it's definitely my fault now. "However the Jedi council believes that both of you are very skilled and highly strong with the force so we will not be expelled." I sigh to myself even though I know there's more. "However based on what happened on the mission and our questioning of padawan Tamo we have been led to the conclusion that the two of you will be split up." Wow after Anakin chose to save me because he didn't want to loose me now it's lead to us being split up where I may never see him again.

"Padawan Tano you will be reassigned to a new master and you yourself must avoid problems like this." Mace says.

"Yes master." I say sadly.

"As for you Skywalker, you will take a week away from the battle field for counseling. You will also be suspended from having a padawan until we have firm conformation that you are ready."

"Yes master." Anakin says angrily.

"That is all, you may now go get some rest and further preparations will be made in the morning." We bow and I prepare to be pushed out but Anakin just leaves and I feel like I'm going to cry because it means that he really is made at me. Luckily Obi Wan pushes me out.

"Are you alright? Did something happen with Anakin?" he asks."

"Anakin found out that I talked about him to the council and I don't think he's taking it well." I say.

"Oh I see. Well if there's anything I can do to help let me know."

"Actually there is." I say.
