Chapter Twenty

*Ahsoka's POV*

I smile when I realise Obi Wan has just walked out of the cafeteria doors. I motion to Lux for him to follow, and we hurry up the corridor. Obi Wan senses us and turns to greet us.

"Looking for Anakin again?" he asks, already knowing the answer.

"Yep. You haven't seen him, have you?" I sigh.

"I'm afraid not. But I'm sure wherever he is, he's busy keeping himself amused," Obi Wan replies sighing.

"That's what I'm afraid of. Have you ever been in a speeder with him?" I ask Obi Wan, curious.

"Yes, and that's a reason why I don't tend to fly," he sighs, shakes his head and walks away.

"Lux," I say turning around, let's go for a walk around the Jedi temple,"

"Ahsoka, I thought you said I probably wouldn't be allowed?" he asks me, eyebrows raised. I dismiss it with a wave of my hand.

"Ah, I get told off all the time anyway. It won't make any difference," I grin and hurry away from him. He laughs and runs to keep up.

"You get told off all the time? What do you do?" Lux looks curiously at me. I think for a minute, deciding which things I should and shouldn't include. I'd keep the fact I was expelled secret. He didn't know about that yet, and I still didn't want to talk about it.

"Mostly running down corridors. But recently I got shouted at by Anakin because I accidentally let slip the fact I once lost my lightsabers," I say, smiling guiltily.

"Was that the time we were with Deathwatch?" Lux asks me. I pause.

"Lux, whatever you do, please do not tell Anakin I lost them that time. And do not tell him you took them away from me. Because if I get yelled at again, I might have to strangle you," I beg. I forgot about the time where he took them. And hid them. Lux puts his hands up in mock surrender.

"I wasn't going to!" He whines, before adding, "So how did you loose them before?"

I groan. I have a lot of explaining to do.

***

By the time me and Lux have gone around as many parts of the Temple as we have access to, I have successfully managed to tell Lux about (almost) all of the times I've lost my lightsabers. Excluding the most recent one of course. I wonder breifly where it is now, and if it still works.

"So where should we look now?"

"Hmm?" Lux breaks me off from my thoughts and it takes me a second to register what he's saying, "We can go and find Rex, I think he must be at the landing platform where we've been working recently. Or everyone else has, anyway. I haven't," I decide.

"Are you okay?" Lux obviously noticed me pausing. He knows me really well now.

"Uh huh, I was just thinking," I tell Lux truthfully. We start to walk out of the Jedi Temple and down to a platform where several speeders are parked. I clamber into the driver's seat and Lux sits in the passenger seat, where he gazes out across Coruscant.

"It is really busy here," he comments watching everything in fascination. I laugh.

"Well, we'd better get going then. Master Skywalker could be anywhere," I grin at him and start the engine.

As soon as the speeder is ready, I pull away from the platform, driving towards the steady flow of traffic, then I get an idea.

"Lux! If you see anyone in Mandarlorian armour, you need to tell me. Last time I was in a speeder, they kept shooting at us. I got hit later, but that was expected, it's hard to avoid in mid jump, especially when you're right in front of them. Just be careful, my driving isn't as crazy as Anakin's, so they'll probably have a better shot!" I have to shout over the noise of the traffic to make myself heard. Lux gives me the thumbs up to show he understands.

A while later, we've broken away from the main stream of traffic. We sit in silence during the journey, Lux is busy enjoying the view and I'm watching out for danger. But soon enough, we've stopped at the platform. I jump out, followed by Lux, who is still looking around interested. I swear his eyes light up in fascination when he see's all of the clones, their ships and the equipment.
His fascination is starting to verge on humourus.

"Can you see Rex anywhere?" I ask Lux, pulling on his arm to get him to follow.

"I don't know, they all look the same to me, except with different haircuts," he states, honestly. I laugh and clap sarcastically.

"Really? That can't be why they're called clones though, can it Lux?" I tease him, and he whacks my good shoulder playfully. And yes, I can drive with one hand, if you are wondering, Anakin did that, held a lightsaber and "caught" me. So yes, it is possible.

"I'm joking. Rex has blue and white armour," I explain, seeing as Lux has never seen him in armour before.

"All right," Lux nods, continuing to look around. I start too.

"Can I help you?" I turn and see Cody, one of Obi Wan's clones. I nod.

"Yes please. Have you seen Rex?" I ask eagerly.

"He's behind that ship where the crates are, unloading new weapons," he explains gesturing towards a nearby ship.

"Thanks Cody!" I reply, smiling. I grab onto Lux, steering him in the right direction.

"You know, I can walk by myself Ahsoka," Lux argues, and I shove him gently forwards, letting go.

"I know. But I'm in a hurry, and you aren't, so I decided to speed things up a bit," I dodge past him as he attempts to hit me again, thankfully, he misses. After pulling a face, he hurries to my side, finally keeping up by himself.

We walk around the side of the ship to find Rex, and a few other clones, sitting on the crates and laughing. Rex is already facing us so he doesn't have too, but the other clones turn to check that we aren't stiff Jedi or higher ranking clones coming to tell them off. When they're satisfied, they turn back to their conversation. Which, I note, seems to be about the creative ways they've destroyed droids. I hide a smile.

When we get to the crates I notice that none of them have actually been opened, let alone emptied, and none of the clones have their helmets on.

"Hey! Rex! Have you seen Skyguy anywhere? He's disappeared again," I call out, and the clones pause their conversation.

"I haven't seen him today, or spoken to him. Sorry Commander," he shakes his head.

"Ahsoka," I correct him, "Just call me Ahsoka,"

"Sorry, Ahsoka," he smiles at me and I smile back.

"Don't worry Rex. It's not your fault," I assure him. I turn away so we can go back to the speeder. Behind me and Lux, the clones carry on talking.

"Who's she? Is that her boyfriend?" A clone asks Rex, and I immediately feel myself blush. Again. Lux doesn't hear, because he doesn't have Jedi senses. Thankfully. I can hear Rex defending me in the background. Rex is one of the most loyal people I know.

Lux sees me blush and frowns at me, but doesn't say anything about it.

"So what do we do now?" Lux asks me.

"Explore Coruscant, I guess," I say, but I'm not really listening. Anakin never tells anyone anything anymore.

"Whereabouts. Wait. Where was he last time?" Lux's eyes light up and I pause.

"In the middle of the street..." I stare at him confused, "Why?"

"I thought he might be there again. Did he tell you where he'd been?" I watch as Lux's hope deflates slightly.

"A warehouse apparently," I shrug, and continue back to the speeder.

"Why was he in a warehouse?"

"Lux, this is Anakin we're talking about, you know, the unpredictable Jedi? The one who gets into dangerous situations because he never thinks twice. How am I supposed to know? Knowing him, he probably just felt like looking around!" I say snippily.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry! I was only asking. Should we look in the warehouses?" Lux looks at bit shocked. I don't blame him, I didn't mean to say it as fiercely as that. I shake my head.

"No. It will take forever, there are thousands of them here. We should probably check the streets. But this time avoid the lower levels. I'm not in the mood to kill anyone today, or fight anyone either come to that," I sigh, gesturing to my sling.

We both get back in the speeder and fly of again. For a few minutes, we stay in silence, but then Lux asks a question.

"Ahsoka? What happened to your other lightsaber?"
