"Hello again Ezra." Ahsoka said, smiling as she was engulfed by a hug with Ezra, the Ill on Ezra shoulders quickly hoped off and went and sat on a branch.

"Ahsoka you're alive?" Sabine asked, in shock.

"Yes, I think I would know if I was alive." Ahsoka said as Ezra let go of her.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again." Hera said letting go of the Jedi.

"I'm sorry Hera." He said and faced Ezra.

"Hi Master." Ezra said, meekly as Kanan pulled him into his arms.

"I thought I'll never see you again." Kanan said, fighting tears.

"I'll never thought I'll see you too." Ezra said, hugging him tight. "I thought you were dead."

"I could say the same for you, Ezra." He said as tears rolled down Ezra's face.

"Hera it's good too see you again." Ahsoka said and gave the twi'lek a quick hug.

"It's good to see you too." Hera said and the rest of the felt awkward as Master and apprentice hugged and cried.

"I'm sorry to break this up Kanan but..." The young girl said, looking at the two.

"It's ok." Kanan said, drying his tears and letting go.

The rest of the crew greeted Kanan and Ahsoka again.

"Come on let's go inside." The girl said feeling forgotten.

"Yeah we have a lot to talk about." Ahsoka said as they all walked inside the hut.

They all sat down, either in a chair or the floor.

"Whose the kid?" Hera whispered to Kanan as she sat down beside him.

"That's A-" He started but was cut off by the girl.

"I can introduce myself Kanan." She interrupted and continued. "My name is Ani, Ani Kenobi, now who are all of you?"

Ahsoka smiled and Ezra was shocked.

"I'm Sabine." She told Ani and shook her hand.

"I'm Zeb." He said waving.

"I'm Hera." She said smiling.

"Obi Wan had a kid." Ezra said and Ahsoka nodded. "He had a kid."

"Get over it Ezra." Ani said and shook her head.

"Why aren't you with him on Tatooine?" He asked her.

"My father had his reasons." She said, holding her lightsaber and Ezra felt a strange pull towards it.

"Your lightsaber can I see it?" He asked her and she rolled her eyes and handed it to him.

Ezra examined the simple lightsaber in his hands and ignited the blue blade, he had a question on his mind.

"Before you ask Ezra, yes that's your old crystal, Ahsoka grabbed it on her way out of the sith temple." Kanan told his padawan, sensing his confusion.

"Don't get any ideas I just got this." Ani said taking her lightsaber. "Don't be uncivilized."

Ahsoka laughed.

"We have a lot to discuss." Hera told them.

"That we do." Kanan said. "Ezra can you come with me outside."

Ezra nodded and Ani gave a muted chuckle.

He realized his mistake. "Yes I'm coming." He got up and followed his Master outside as the rest of them continued to talk and tell stories.

                           {•-•}

Ezra had a million questions on his mind.

"Ezra before you say anything I'm sorry, I'm sorry for not physically coming to help, and finding a way to help even if we don't have a ship." Kanan said and leaned against on of the tree branches.

"Why didn't you come back, if not to help me for the rest of the crew for Hera?" Ezra asked his Master, picking one of the questions bouncing around his mind.

"For me to answer that, we have to start at the beginning three years ago when I took that escape pod." Kanan told him and Ezra nodded. "As I was drifting towards the surface of that unknown planet, a smuggler was too. Of course anyone running from a star destroyer must be worth something on the black market or to the Empire so the smuggler locked onto me and the escape pod."

                           {•-•}

The escape pod rocked as it was connected to the smuggler's ship and Kanan heard footsteps walk to the door.

"Hello there." A familiar smooth talking male voice said as he opened the door to the escape pod.

"Lando." Kanan said, relived yet reserved.

"Kanan Jarrus, hello my old friend." The smuggler told him. "What are you doing way out here, running from a star destroyer."

"None of your business, are you going to help me or are you going to turn me in?" Kanan asked the smuggler.

"Well the Empire will pay handsomely for a Jedi." He considered.

"You still owe us." Kanan said, putting his hands on his hips and following the smuggler to the cockpit of his ship.

"You took that fuel." Lando told him, sitting in the pilot's seat and Kanan sat beside him in the copilot' chair. "But fine I'll help you, but then we are even."

"Deal." He said and shook the smugglers hand.

"We should get out of here, where to." Lando asked him, eyeing the star destroyer.

"The rendezvous point with the fleet I'll give y-" He stopped as something whispered in the back of his mind.

Luscio. Find Lusio.

But I have to get back to the crew. He thought back.

Help Ahsoka.

Kanan shook his head. Is Ahsoka alive? He thought. And why does she need help?

"Do you know where Lusio is?" He asked him.

"Yes, I've never been there but stories get around, it's a planet just beyond the outer rim, not by much though." Lando told him. "Why?"

"Could you take me there?" He asked her.

"What about your fleet?" Lando asked him, pushing buttons.

"Just take me to Lusio." He said, making his decision and Lando prepared the ship to hyperspace.

Ezra was already lost, and he couldn't help the fleet but maybe he could help Ahsoka.

                           {•-•}

"So Lando helped you?" Ezra said, shaking his head.

"Yeah, do you understand why I didn't come back?" Kanan asked his padawan.

"I do, I don't think I would of made the same decision but I get it." Ezra told his padawan.

"Ezra, that's all I ask." He said and hugged his padawan again.
