The least thing Taran wanted to do was travel as an ambassador to a planet, but that nightmare was becoming a reality.

"Please tell me why I'm going to be the ambassador for our side on Shili when you're better at it then I am?" said Taran.

"Because, this is something you have to master," said Obi-Wan.

"But Master, why would Shili, the home of the Togruta, suddenly switch their loyalties to neutral?" said Taran.

"They have a new ruler who turned the planet's allegiance neutral at the moment. You and Ahsoka's job is to try to get him back on our side," said Obi-Wan. When he said "Ahsoka" Taran thought of the trip a little more positively.

"So we have to persuade this guy, or girl, to join back with the Republic before the Separatist's do?" said Taran.

"Yes," said Obi-Wan.

"Great, that won't be too hard," said Taran.

"Just pack anything you might need, you'll be planetside in twenty-four hours," said Obi-Wan. "Even though I don't no why, a Jedi isn't suppose to have any possessions."

"It's the same thing with the duties of the Avatar, except they're not possessions; they're something to leave behind for others to explore what my life was like. In a way, it's like passing on my legacy," said Taran.

"Either way, you still need to pack," said Obi-Wan.

"Master?" said Taran.

"Yes Padawan," said Obi-Wan.

"How will I be able to persuade the ruler about joining the Republic again?" said Taran.

"Search inside yourself, you will know the answer," said Obi-Wan. "If you need anymore help then bring R3, he has something to help you with."

"Thanks Master," said Taran.

"Don't worry Padawan, you'll do beautifully when you persuade him, or her," said Obi-Wan, placing his hands on Taran's shoulders.

"But what if I fail?" said Taran.

"Don't think negatively, young one. Always think of doing the best you possibly can," said Obi-Wan.

"Your Master must have been like a super guru or something," said Taran.

"He was, and he was good man too," said Obi-Wan.

"Are you sure you want me and Taran to be ambassadors. This is something an older, more experienced person should do," said Ahsoka.

"Snips, I know you have your doubts, but this is something the Council's assigned you two to do, and they are expecting the best from both of you," said Anakin. "Besides, everyone else is tied down."

"But what if we fail?" said Ahsoka.

"Then you two tried your best, that's all that matters," said Anakin. "Don't be so negative sometimes."

"Me? Negative?" said Ahsoka, arching her eyebrow at Anakin and giving him a 'I'm the negative one' look.

"Okay, I just mean now," said Anakin. "You'll be leaving in one day."

"So how come we have to go and not you and Master Obi-Wan?" said Ahsoka.

"We have to track down Dooku," said Anakin.

"Oh, that explains it," said Ahsoka.

"Get some rest Snips," said Anakin. As he was leaving the room he turned back around. "Oh, and you and Taran keep the making out to a minimum."

"Got it," said Ahsoka.

"I'm serious," said Anakin.

(Five hours till planetside)

Tossing and turning on his bed, Taran couldn't sleep much. He was too scared about what he would have to do in a few hours.

"What if me and Ahsoka slip up? The planet will go to the Seps, turn the tide of the war, and we'll all be ruled by the droid army thanks to both of us," he thought.

"Get it together Taran, you know you can do this."

"But what if I can't?"

"You can, you and Ahsoka always succeed."

"Maybe you're right."

"Hey, I'm your conscience, I'm always right, except a few times when I'm wrong."

Taran's pondering's got him exhausted.

"I'll just go to sleep now, I'm have to get up in four hours anyway," he said to himself. A knock at his door stopped that thought for awhile.

"Come in," he said. Ahsoka opened the door and sat at the edge of his bed.

"What's wrong?" he asked her.

"Just nervous, you?" she said.

"Same here," he said. "What's bothering you?"

"I'm just worried that me and you won't do so well," she said.

"Don't worry, me and you have gotten through sticky situations before," said Taran. "After all, this is your home planet."

"But we never gotten out of one involving words and persuasion," said Ahsoka.

"Well, think of it like this. Our actions were our persuasion, and the our lightsabers were persuasion. Put it in a peaceful situation and it's the same thing, minus the death and threats," said Taran.

"I never really though of it like that," said Ahsoka.

"It pays to have and Elementian for your friend, and boyfriend," said Taran.

"Taran, you're the best," said Ahsoka as she hugged him. "You know Anakin said to keep the kissing to a minimum."

"What he doesn't know won't hurt him," said Taran.

(Planet Shili)

The Resolute was in the dockyards of the planet shil. Shili is the homeplanet of the Togruta species, which means that Taran will have some help from Ahsoka on some of their customs.

"Are you two going to be fine?" said Obi-Wan. The two Jedi apprentices nodded as R3 chirped.

"Contact us if there's any problems. We'll be in the sector, so coming to your aid will happen fast," said Anakin.

"Also, make sure that you keep your cool around the ruler, even if some of his or her customs are barbaric, or cruel," said Obi-Wan.

"We will," Taran and Ahsoka said.

"Good, well run along now. You need to get there before the Separatists send their delegate," said Anakin.

"And most importantly, be careful," said Obi-Wan. They hugged them goodbye and boarded back on the ship.

"You think they'll do good?" Anakin said to Obi-Wan.

"Only if Taran keeps the sarcasm down," said Obi-Wan. "But besides that I think they'll do wonderful." Rex came up to themwhile they were walking to the bridge.

"So, the two are gone?" he said.

"Yes Rex, now only time will tell if they succeed or not," said Anakin.

"We are so screwed," Rex thought to himself.

"Rex, don't think like that," said Anakin.
