Later that evening while Anakin tried to sleep, Ahsoka's Force spirit paid him another visit.
Master, a soft voice sounded in the dark and a bluish glow appearing near the doorway.
"Ahsoka?" Anakin muttered in a sleepy way and rubbed his eyes.
It's me again, Master. I've come to say goodbye and to wish 你 luck on training your new Padawan.
"How would 你 know that?"
你 can sense things through the Force even in death.
"Ahsoka....I miss you. Please don't go. I'm...."
Master, the spirit 说 as she walked over and layed a hand on his shoulder. It felt.....soothing to Anakin. I know 你 are scared. It's understandable. 你 will be with someone new to you. I was new to 你 once.
Anakin smiled remembering the 日 they met.
"You were a pain in the butt," he 说 as he laughed.
I know 你 will be a great mentor to your new student. 你 were for me. Now..I have to go. Remember I'll always be in your 心 and your memories. Goodbye....
Anakin watched the image fade and he bowed his head. He never heard Obi-Wan knocking at his door. He started when he felt Obi-Wan touch his arm.
"I'm sorry, Anakin, I didn't mean to startle you. 你 seem miles away."
Anakin looked at him with sad eyes.
"Ahsoka's Force spirit just paid me a visit," he 说 in a voice almost too soft to hear.
"Obi-Wan's eyes widened at that revelation. He was surprised that the Padawan had achieved that ability. Alot of Jedi Knights hadn't. However, Ahsoka's Force abilities had been strong in life, so in death they might have grown.
"This wasn't the first time, either", Anakin 说 as he bowed his head, "She appeared...after she died and....before her memorial."
He blinked his eyes that had filled with tears.
Obi-Wan didn't say a thing and got up to sit on the arm of the chair Anakin was in. He layed a hand on the young Jedi's shoulder.
"You really miss her, don't you?"
Anakin just nodded trying to keep the tears from falling but failed.
"Anakin, it will take time to get over the grief. I should know, it took me a long time to get over Qui-Gon's death. Even though time has passed I still miss him. Let the grief strengthen you. Ahsoka will always be with you."
"I know," Anakin 说 as he looked up, his cheeks shiny with tears, "...but it still hurts. I never realized how much I loved her not only as my Padawan learner but as my friend too. I know I'll see her again someday but that doesn't make me feel any better right now."
Obi-Wan put an arm around his shoulder saying, "I know."
Anakin leaned over and placed his head against Obi-Wan's chest. He closed his eyes feeling 安全 with his friend's arm around him. He began to doze off.
He stayed with Anakin all night, the young Jedi sleeping peacefully until Master Sinube woke both of them up.
"Good morning, young one," the old Master 说 surprised to see Obi-Wan sitting in a chair with Anakin's head in his lap. "Is the boy alright?"
"Yes, he's just tired," Obi-Wan answered, "Ahsoka's Force spirit appeared to him last night upsetting him some."
"Anakin's new Padawan is here and Masters Windu and Yoda would like him to come to the Council chamber.
"I'll wake him up..."
"Anakin, 你 seen nervous," Obi-Wan 说 an 小时 later as they walked to the Council chamber.
"No, I'm not," Anakin 说 his voice quivering ever so slightly.
"I can feel your unease a mile away," Obi-Wan answered, "I'm surprised General Grievous can't sense it."
"Very funny..."
Obi-Wan layed a hand on Anakin's shoulder. Anakin gave his former Master that cocky smile that warmed Obi-Wan's heart.
"Mustn't keep Masters Windu and Yoda waiting...."
Master, a soft voice sounded in the dark and a bluish glow appearing near the doorway.
"Ahsoka?" Anakin muttered in a sleepy way and rubbed his eyes.

Anakin with Jinx and O-Mer walked the halls of the Jedi Temple. Since it was evening the halls were quiet and Anakin was glad. He didn't want to talk with anyone other than the two younglings.
"Master Skywalker," Jinx 说 as he looked over at Anakin who appeared tired.
"Please Jinx...call me Anakin."
"All right...Anakin. O-Mer and I have something we think 你 should have."
"What is it?"
Jinx reached into his tunic pocket and handed Anakin a lightsaber. Anakin recognized whose it was.
"Ahsoka.."
"It was damaged in the final battle with the Trandoshan hunters," O-Mer 说 feeling sad at the memory.
"Kriffin' lizards," Anakin 说 his eyes welling up but he blinked the tears away before the younglings could see. "Thank 你 for returning it to me. Let's go to the training room and take a go at the remotes. 你 game?"
The two younglings smiled and then nodded.
"Master Skywalker," Jinx 说 as he looked over at Anakin who appeared tired.
"Please Jinx...call me Anakin."
