My very first story on fanfiction is up! Anyway, I'll make this short so you can read the first chapter.

Summary: What would have happened if Ahsoka Tano was there on that horrible day on Mustafar? Could she have possibly saved Anakin? Or will she just make him go deeper into the Dark Side?

I hope you enjoy the story! The long author's note will be at the end.

Disclamer: I don't own Star Wars or its characters. Just the storyline. I think.

It's all in a Padawan's Job

Chapter 1

Ahsoka's POV

I snapped out of my meditative state.

'Was all that I saw true? Is it about to happen?' I thought.

The voice in my head said yes. I stood up, knowing then exactly what to do and where to go. I ran to my speeder and went to the Senate building. I gasped when I saw smoke coming from the Jedi temple. I wanted to go and help but I was needed somewhere else. I ran inside and got inside a turbo-lift where I heard over the loud speaker saying all senators go to the meeting room for an emergency meeting. I scowled at the thought of Palpatine.

'Or should I say Darth Sidious.'

I arrived at the roof and saw Senator Amidala getting ready for take-off. When I was about to run over there, I saw Obi-Wan, sneaking onboard. I didn't want to be sensed, so I masked my presence and ran on board also. I decided to hide inside an empty closet hoping the Senator wouldn't look in there. I sat on the floor, feeling the ship take off.

'I will save you Master, I promise!'

(5 hours later)

I awoke to the sound of the engine hum slowly fading. I sat up, wondering how and how long I fell asleep. I pressed my montral against the door to see if I can hear anything. I heard the Senator say to C-3PO,"Wait here 3PO," and footsteps leaving the ship. I heard lava spewing out and volcanoes erupting.

'I must be on Mustafar,'

I felt my Master's presence come near the ship.

"Ani!" I heard Padmé cry out. There was silence for a moment and I guessed they had kissed. "Oh Ani," Padmé started,"Obi-Wan has told me terrible things, that you turned to the dark side, that Chancellor Palpatine is the dark lord, and that you killed...younglings. Ani, is that true?"

Anakin sighed inward.

"The Jedi has betrayed the Republic, Padmé." he said darkly. I heard her gasp. "I have brought peace with Palpatine, but I can overthrow him. You and I can rule the entire galaxy! Make things the way we want them to be!" I heard someone step back.

"I can't believe what I'm hearing….Obi-wan was right, you have changed. Come back to me! I love you!" she said through tears. I heard footsteps on the ship and knew it was Obi-wan. Part of me wanted to jump out of the closet and tell Obi-wan to wait, but I stayed put.

"Because of Obi-Wan?" said Anakin.

I guessed Padmé turned and saw him because she started to say,"No..I...no" I braced myself to hear what was about to come next.

'I'm sorry Padmé, but I need to let him to this to you,' I thought sadly.

"You sent him here to kill me didn't you!" I heard Anakin shout angrily. But Padmé had no time to explain, for all that came out of her mouth were gasps for air. I heard her crying a little and trying to say stop, but to no avail.

"Let her go, Anakin!" Obi-wan shouted. "Let. Her. Go." I heard a thud. "You turned her against me!" Anakin shouted.

"You have done that yourself!" Obi-wan shouted back. That's when I decided to drown out their words, and instead get the medical bay in her ship ready. Luckily, I knew how to set up everything because I almost always in the medbay during the Clone Wars. When I was finished, I searched for Anakin's and Obi-Wan's presence. I found them at the facility in the middle of Mustafar.

'Good, I still have plenty of time.'

I then slowly walked down the ramp, making sure they could not see me if possible. When I saw Padmé, I almost couldn't believe Anakin force-choked her. She looked almost lifeless, nothing moving but her stomach. I walked over and, with the force, I picked her up. She moaned but that was it. I then walked quickly to the ship, feeling Anakin's and Obi-Wan's presence coming out of the facility. I walked inside and set Padmé down onto the bed. I then checked her pulse, which was very low.

'Uh-oh.'

I quickly started to put IV tubes up her arm and started to shock her back to life when I saw her heart beat. "Come on Padmé you have to make it!" I muttered under my breath. She then took a deep breath in and opened her eyes, but quickly shut them do to the light. She moaned something like Ani, and I sighed a breath of relief. Her heart was back to normal and so was her breathing. I walked out feel pride in what I've just done, but that wasn't even half of what I'm going to do later.

"C-3PO!" I shouted. The shiny droid turned down the hall.

"Oh, Miss Ahsoka! How did you ever get on the ship?" he asked.

"Don't worry about that right now. What I need you to do is to make sure Padmé stays okay, alright?"

He nodded and walked inside the room. I walked to the cockpit to see R2-D2 sitting there in the corner, frightened by the lava. I walked over and patted my hand on his dome. When he saw it was me, he whirled a ton of happy beeps.

"I'm happy to see you too, Artooie. Now here's what I need you to do. I need you to turn on and ready the ship so when I come back, we can leave as soon as possible, okay?"

The droid beeped, and I took that as okay.

I walked out of the cockpit and at the top of the ramp. I gulped. It's now time for me to do what I came here to do.

To save my Master.

I ran down the ramp and to the place I knew they would be. And sure enough, they were there. I hid behind a rock and watched the scene before me.

I saw Obi-Wan jump off the droid he was on and landed and few feet away from me.

"It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!" he shouted.

"You underestimate my powers." Anakin said darkly.

"Don't try it Anakin," Obi-wan said. I gulped. This is what I came here for but what to do? I saw Anakin calling upon the Force to jump when the idea popped in my head. That's it! I prepared myself as Anakin jumped. I saw the whole thing in slow motion as he jumped. Anakin jumped at Obi-Wan, ready to slice him with anger written all over his face. Obi-Wan held out his lightsaber preparing to attack, pain written on his face.

At the last possible second, I deactivated Obi-Wan's lightsaber before it slashed Anakin's leg and Anakin's lightsaber before it did some permanent damage with the Force. Anakin then fell on top of Obi-wan and they rolled down the hill, Anakin losing his lightsaber on the way. If it wasn't for the seriousness of the situation, I would have laughed at them. They rolled away from the lava, which I was grateful for since I didn't need them to burn up. They stopped finally, with Anakin on the bottom and Obi-wan on top. They stared at each other for a moment, trying to figure out what the kriff happened. In that moment, though, I thought that Anakin would laugh and ask Obi-wan to get off of him.

But was I wrong.

Anakin punched him in the stomach. Hard.

He fell to the right of him moaning. Anakin then started to get up but I pushed him down with the Force. He fell as I felt his confusion. He tried again and failed. A string of curses in Huttese came from his mouth. I rolled my eyes. Some things never change.

'Alright now it's my time to shine.'

I got up from my hiding spot and started walking towards them.

"Master, I suggest you stop, even though it is a very funny sight looking at you trying to get up." I said, a small smirk on my face. He sat up quickly and turned to me, clearly shocked.

"Ahsoka, how in kriffing Force are you here? Why are you here?" he asked and I noticed that his eyes where a sickly yellow. By that time Obi-wan has gotten into a position so he could see me. He too, was shocked that I was there. He raised his eyebrows at me.

"It doesn't matter how I'm here, but what I'm here for." I said, still trying to figure out how I'm going to do this, since I didn't know I was actually going to make it this far.

"Then what are you here for?" he asked and I sensed he was getting impatient. He even tried to call his lightsaber back to his hand, but I stepped on it before it reached him.

"To stop you before you do something you'll regret for the rest of your life." I said as I picked up his lightsaber. I walked between the gap of him and Obi-wan. I turned to them with Anakin on my right and Obi-wan on my left.

"Alright now, can you guys make this easy for me and just sit there while I tell you something?" I said and then felt very stupid. One was already stuck there, while the other was like an impatient animal that wants to go out and play. If that was only the case.

I turned to Anakin, who had his arms crossed and eyes were still a sickly yellow.

"Well, what do you want to tell us so badly?" he said in an impatient and irritated tone. I took in a deep breath, reminding myself that I can't back down now.

"Hmmm, I really don't know where to begin actually, Master," I said with both my hands out in case Anakin lashes out at what I'm about to say. "How about why did you turn to the dark side? Or maybe, why did you marry Padmé and told no one?"

His eyes widened at that and I swear I saw fire in his yellow eyes that wasn't from the lava around us.

"How do you know? What did you do to her?" he asked fiercely and took everything in me to keep him down with the force.

"How I know doesn't matter right now, and she's perfectly fine."

'At the moment' I thought sadly.

"But I think I should start with her, since you two share a secret." I said, harshly. He glared at me, but said nothing so I started.

"Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala. The two are great friends but are secretly married. How long have they been married? Three years now. And guess what? Padmé is now pregnant with their child!" Anakin, who I saw in his eyes was deeply surprised at what I knew, was raising his hand to force choke me, but I ignited his lightsaber and pointed at his throat. His eyes widened and looked at me, shock clearly written over his face. Even Obi-wan, who was surprisingly quiet this whole time, was in shock.

"Anakin, I didn't want it to go this far," I said glaring at him. "But if you do something, I'm not afraid to make a cut on your throat." When Anakin saw I wasn't kidding, he slowly put his hand down. I lowered the lightsaber, but it was still near his chest. I then started up again.

"They all happy and everything untill Anakin started getting these nightmares! They show Padmé dying in child birth and whose's there instead of him? Obi-Wan! He freaks out and decides to go to Palpatine for help. Then Palpatine tells him he can have the power to save people from dying. Anakin decides to have him teach him the power and follows him. Even when he found out when he was the Sith Lord, and when he killed Mace Windu! He then became his apprentice, begging him to help him save Padmé."

"Hmm, Padmé and turning to the darkside have a lot of ties together, don't they?" I said and that's when the anger that's been brewing inside of me burst. "But that still doesn't give you the right to go and kill everyone inside the temple!" I shouted at him and he flinched at the sudden outburst. "Why did you think you had to do that? All you wanted to do was save Padmé and look at where it took you! Now you're being yelled at by your padwan who is trying to save you and knock some sense into you!" Now angry tears were falling, but I didn't wipe them away. Anakin opened his mouth but I didn't let him say one word. "You know what you could've done differently? You could've stopped and thought about it! How can Padmé die in childbirth if she is in perfect health? You could have even asked Master Kenobi for help, or me! But no, you jumped to conclusion that she's just gonna die!" I took a deep breath in and look at him fully in the eyes. It was half blue-half yellow and it seemed to be fighting each other. I sighed and turned to Obi-wan, who I think was enjoying my yelling at Anakin.

"Now it's Obi-Wan Kenobi's turn." I said sweetly. He was now on his back also, with both of his hands on his stomach. He looked worn out a bit, and he was breathing with difficultly.

'He must've gotten hit pretty hard,' I thought.

"The Famous Obi-Wan Kenobi! The legendary Jedi who killed a Sith on Naboo! And what is he trying to do now? Kill another one!" I said and tighten my grip on the lightsaber pointed at Anakin, since I felt his anger rise a bit. "But why is it difficult? He killed the other one in 10 minutes!" I exclaimed and I swore I saw a hint of pride in his eyes, but it was gone as soon as it came. I took a deep breath in, getting rid of the last bit of anger that I had left. I looked at Obi-Wan's eyes again and saw pain, sadness, and...regret?

"The reason why it's taking so long for Obi-Wan to defeat Anakin is because, he can't do it." I saw Anakin roll his eyes with attitude. This sparked my anger. Again.

"Don't you roll your eyes at me, Skywalker. Especially when I can make a cut on you at any moment," I said, moving the lightsaber over him dangerously near his chest.

"As I was saying, he can't kill you because you're special to him. You're not just his student, his friend, or even his partner in war." I looked at Obi-Wan and saw that he wanted me to go on. I looked back at Anakin. "You're his brother in everything but blood, Anakin. Wouldn't it be hard for you to kill your brother? The one that has been your Master since you were 9 years old? The one that taught you everything he knows and made you one of the greatest Jedi Knights in history? The one that believed in you, no matter what the others said?" I had a feeling Obi-Wan wanted me to say more, but I think it would be better for him to tell Anakin himself. Anakin still wasn't responding so I decided to play an important card on him.

"How would Padmé react to all of this?"

This made his whole body tense, as if he was afraid that would come up. I continued.

"I know you're doing all this for her, but think about this in her eyes. She probably wouldn't be happy that you killed everyone in the temple, or that you saved Palpatine instead of Mace Windu, or that you and Obi-Wan were fighting for your lives against each other. And also, she is pregnant with your child," I almost slipped up and said children. "Do you really want to be a Sith Lord father?" I let this sink in and he thought about it. I took a glance at Obi-Wan saw that he was hoping he would say no, just like I was.

"No." he said, just barely above a whisper. I turned back to him, raising an eye marking. "No," he said louder this time, confirming that it wasn't my imagination. His eyes were cast down, so I couldn't tell what color they were.

"I will then give you two choices since you don't want to be a Sith father." Did I just hear him groan? "One, you can come back to the light, see Padmé, and have me and Obi-Wan as friends again. Or two, you can say kriff all of this and push me and Obi-Wan into the lava, kill your children-since you don't want to be a Sith father-, and become Palpatine's slave." I turned off his lightsaber and stuck out a hand. "It's your choice, Master." I said, calling him Master for the first time being on Mustafar. I held my breath not knowing what to expect. Even Obi-Wan was tense but had hope he would make the right choice.

He finally looked up at me. His face had dried tear tracks on them. His eyes were that bright, shining, brilliant deep blue color that I have enjoyed seeing for the past three years. And there was no mark of yellow anywhere.

He looked at my hand, then back up at me, as if asking permission. I smiled a genuine smile at him.

He returned it and grabbed my hand.

I pulled him up and he looked at me about ready to apologize when I mention to Obi-Wan, who also had tears in his eyes, knowing that his former padawan came back to the light. He then helped Obi-Wan up, who I think has a big bruise in the middle of his stomach. Then we were all standing in a circle smiling at each other.

We had a moment of silence, and then I felt the Dark Side of the force wash over me like a heavy blanket. I shivered.

"Palpatine." I whispered. I looked and saw that Anakin and Obi-Wan felt it too.

"Seems that Palpatine is paying a visit to Anakin," Obi-Wan said.

"Where is he?" Anakin asked.

"He just jumped to lightspeed." Obi-Wan replied.

"That's enough time to make a plan. When he comes I can still pretend to be on the dark side, and lead him into a room where we can proceed to attack him." Anakin slapped his fist in his hand. "That kriff of a Sith Lord deserves to die."

The whole time he was saying this, I listened to the voice in my head saying to leave, or all will be lost. I sensed the truth behind the words-also the voice has helped me so far-so I decided to take its advice.

"No, I think we should leave." I said. I looked at Anakin and saw his stunned face. He was about to reply, but I beat him to it. "Master, we need to save the Senator," I said urgently, hearing the voice whispering to me frantically to leave. It worked-not surprisingly- and soon we were heading to the landing dock.

"Where is Padmé?" Anakin asked frantically as we neared the dock.

"Don't worry, she's fine. She is inside in the medical, since you choked her a bit too hard. But other than that, she is completely fine." I said quickly added the last part when Anakin tensed up again. We walked up the ramp and into the ship. Anakin immediately went to Padmé's room while Obi-Wan and I went to the cockpit.

"Alright R2, get us out of here!" I shouted at the little blue astromech droid. He whirled an affirmative beep and started up the engines. Obi-Wan then sat in the pilots' seat and started to control the ship to leave the atmosphere. I quietly walked back to the medical, where Anakin sat next to Padme's bed holding her hand. I walked in silently making sure I wasn't interrupting. When I saw I wasn't, I spoke.

"How is she doing?" I asked my voice low just in case.

Anakin didn't even turn to look at me and replied, "She hasn't woken up yet, but when I squeeze her hand, she returns it." I nodded and sat down next him.

"How could I have done this, Ahsoka?" he whispered. He turned and looked at me. His face had streams of dried tears and new ones were pouring eyes were red and puffy, his blue orbs glazed over with sadness. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Master, you're only human. I know it sounds odd coming from a non-human, but I've seen you to your limit. Where you're so broken down that you can't even breathe on your own. Yes Master, the things you did today were horrible, but you were blinded by the love to save Padmé that you didn't know the things you were doing was for Palpatine's need to destroy the Jedi. Master, you are not all powerful. You cannot stop people from death. No matter what power you look for and if it works, it doesn't make you immortal. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that it's okay that you did all those things today without meaning to. It shows that you are a human being named Anakin who will do anything to save his wife because he loves her too much to let her go." I said and watched Anakin's reaction. He considered my words for a moment and smiled at me.

He then pulled me into a hug, which I didn't expect but hugged him back.

"Thank you Ahsoka for telling me that." he said. We pulled back and we smile at each other.

"Your welcome." I said. I was about to say something else until we heard a moan from Padmé. Anakin was already holding her hand and saying her name when I blinked.

"Padmé? Padmé, can you hear me?" he asked. His reply was a moan. She stirred, her eyes slowly opening. I dimmed the lights with the force to make it easier for her. Her face relaxed, almost a smile and opened her eyes fully. They darted around the room and stopped on her hand intertwined with Anakin's. She slowly looked up at his face.

"Ani?" she whispered almost as if she couldn't believe it. Anakin nodded and then tears started to form in his eyes.

She brought her hand up and touched his face. He leaned into it and kissed it softly.

"Oh Padmé...I'm sorry for what I did to you...I...I...I almost killed you," Anakin said through soft sobs. Padmé also had tears running down her face too. "Can you ever forgive me?" he whispered.

"I already have," She replied and brought his face close to hers and kissed him.

Through the whole time I was watching them, I felt like I was watching a holodrama where the couple forgives each other and makes up. I felt really awkward sitting there, especially when they started to kiss. I knew that was my only escape, so I slowly stood up and walked to the door making sure my foot steps were silent. I was raising my hand, about to palm the door with the force when a voice said, "And where do you think you're going?" I silently cursed my luck.

I turned around saying, "I was just going to check up on Obi-Wan, to see if he got us off the planet, since you two were having a...moment." I smiled a nervous smile, obviously trying to hide my embarrassment.

Anakin chuckled. "Come back here. Padmé and I won't be having anymore moments," he said. I walked back over and sat next to him.

"Ahsoka, if you don't mind me asking, how did you get here?" Padmé asked. Anakin nodded.

"Yeah, I was wondering about that," he said. "Care to explain, Ahsoka?" I gulped. I was hoping this question wouldn't come up, since that would lead to explaining what happened in my meditation, and the voice said now wasn't the time to tell.

I opened my mouth ever so slowly, hoping something-anything-will come through the door and interrupt.

Obi-Wan was that interruption.

"We are out of the atmosphere." he said as he walked into the room. I secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"The only problem is where to go," he continued. We all looked at each other.

"Where can we go?" I asked.

"Well, Senator Organa and Master Yoda are on Polis Mass. They have a medbay there." he said looking at Padmé.

Her eyes drifted to the floor, biting her lip a bit.

She looked back at Anakin and said, "Is it possible that we can have the baby on Naboo?"

The voice was once again talking to me. It was saying to go to Naboo. I was about to question it why, but I saw Anakin about to answer.

"Of course Senator!" I blurted out in panic. All eyes turned to me. "Your ship is…uh...fast! We can get there before anything happens!" I quickly stood up. "So you can just lay there and enjoy the ride!" And with that I was out the door.

I let out a breath, and I swore the voice was laughing at me. I scowled a bit, but I quickly walked to the cockpit. As soon as I sat in the pilot's seat, I heard the door to the medical open and fast paced steps, followed by a lighter pair of steps.

"Ahsoka!" Anakin shouted. "What do you think you're doing?" He arrived in the cockpit with Obi-Wan.

"Placing in the coordinates for Naboo, Master," I said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Ahsoka, we can't go to Naboo that's over 5 standard hours away!" he replied.

I turned around to look at him. "Says the person who made it to Mustafar in 3 standard hours when it actually takes six from Coruasant."

Silence met my words.

I mentally slapped myself, know that they would now get even more suspicious.

"Ahsoka, how did you know that?" Anakin asked slowly, narrowing his eyes. I quickly turned back around and pushed aside the question.

"Anyway, I'll go tinker with the hyperdrive to boost the speed, Anakin will look after the Senator, and Obi-Wan will mind the controls." I said while trying to busy myself by getting the ship ready to jump to lightspeed.

"Ahsoka, no. I don't know where you are getting these crazy ideas, no less about how you know about my traveling speed, and a great many other things. Now, you are going to sit there and tell me everything you know. Everything." he said, emphasizing the last word and narrowing his eyes, making them look like ice. To make it worse he was towering over me, making him look even more intimidating.

If it wasn't for a cry of pain from Padmé, I think I would have actually told him everything. His eyes widened and started to walk to the medical but he turned around. "Ahsoka, we are definitely going to talk later," he said and left. I slumped into my seat and sighed. If saving my master was worth all of this, I'm definitely going to get a I remembered that Obi-Wan was there. I turned to look at him.

His arms were crossed and his face had a stern look on it.

"Master Kenobi-" I started, but he silenced me with a hand.

"I understand that something has happen to you for you to be here, and you know what that is, but you cannot tell us just yet. Something is guiding you, which has helped a many things. So, I will respect your random decisions, for now." he said. My eyes widened, and it was times like these when I question how much he actually knows. "Now go tinker with the hyperdrive, no doubt Anakin didn't teach you a few tricks," he finished with a small smile. I nodded and left the cockpit.

I found the hyperdrive-with the force- and lifted the panel. There was a tool box nearby and I grabbed it and went to work. I felt us go to lightspeed and I smiled, but it was soon erased by what the voice told me. The Final Battle was approaching. And I still have a lot of work to do.

Authors Note: And there you have it! The first chapter of "It's all in a Padawan's Job"! I hope you enjoyed it and look for the next chapter in the next two weeks. If you don't understand something, just say in the reviews or PM me. Though I hope I made everything clear! Except that I actually have no clue how long it takes to get to Naboo from Mustafar, nor Coruasant to Mustafar. I just made it up. Reviews are much appreciated, even the bad ones! Until next time, May The Force Be With You! -Jordan
