Taking on a Padawan Learner was at the very bottom of Anakin Skywalker's bucket list. No, scratch that - it had never been on there to begin with. Yet when he's sent a curveball in the form of teenaged Togruta Ahsoka Tano, he expected many things, b...
In the first few days of junior precalculus class, Professor Windu asked his students a question to get to know them a little bit better before he let the pressure of the class drop on them.
"What song describes you and your group of friends the best?"
Ahsoka's hand shot up. "If I may, sir?" Upon receiving confirmation from Windu, she made eye contact with Anakin and Obi-Wan, nodding discreetly as they all got up at the same time.
"What are you three doing?" Mace spluttered indignantly, brows creasing deeply. "I have a math class to teach!"
"Don't worry Professor," Jack Scott, one of Ahsoka's friends, grinned. "Hit it, Ethan!"
"There's nothing rich folk love more, than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor! They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common just to watch them talk; take Philip Schuyler, the man is loaded! Uh oh, but little does he know that his children Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Anakin sneak into the city just to watch all of them at-"
Work, work!
"Anakin!"
Work, work!
"Ahsoka!"
"And Obi."
"The Disaster Trio!"
"Anakin,"
"Obi-"
"Ahsoka, work!"
"Windu said to be back by sundown!"
"Windu doesn't need to know!"
"Windu said not to go downtown!"
"Like I said you're free to go, but-"
"Look around, look around, the revolution's happening on Coruscant!"
"Coruscant!"
Anakin, work!
"It's bad enough we're about to go to war!"
"People shouting in the square!"
"It's bad enough they'll be violence near our homes!"
"New ideas in the air!"
Look around, look around!
"Hey Anakin, remind me what we're looking for!"
They're looking for this!
"Ahsoka, I'm looking for a fairer Council, I'm looking for a fairer Council, I'm looking for a fairer Council- woah, woah, woah, woah work!"
At this, the class gawked at the trio's flawless adapted harmonies. Ahsoka had sang the highest voice part, while Anakin sang the middle part, and Obi-Wan the secondary harmonies.
Ethan continued.
"Woo! It's nothing like summer in the city, someone in a rush next to someone looking salty, excuse me sir, I know it's not funny, but your irritation shows it's purpose. Why're you slummin' in the city with that mirthless frown, you searchin' for an urchin who can give you a crown?"
"I've been reading 'Common Sense' by Thomas Paine, so Knights say that I'm intense or I'm insane! You want a revolution? I want a revaluation! So listen to my declaration: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all Jedi should be treated equal! And when I meet Mace Windu-"
"Uh!"
"-Ima compel him to include equality in the sequel, work!"
"Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now!"
"Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now!"
"History is happening on Coruscant, and we just happen to be on the best planet in the world, on the best planet in the world!"
"I've been reading 'Common Sense' by Thomas Paine, so Knights say that I'm intense or I'm insane! You want a revolution? I want a revaluation! So listen to my declaration: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all Jedi should be treated equal!
Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now!"
"History is happening on Coruscant, and we just happen to be on the best planet in the world, on the best planet in the world!"
Work, work!
"Anakin!"
Work, work!
"Ahsoka!"
"And Obi."
The Disaster Trio!
"We're looking for an equal Council, hey! Woah, woah-ohhh! On the best planet, on the best planet in the wooooooorld!"
"On the best planet in the world!"
As the music ended, Ahsoka turned to look at a dumbstruck Mace Windu... and smiled. "So you see, this is the song that best describes my friends and I. We strive for equality and equity in this Order, and we will achieve our means by doing so fairly, without violence.
Even though Windu had been mocked multiple times in that song, even he had to finally admit begrudgingly: "Perhaps you're right... Now have a seat; it's time for math."
