For Good

this is inspired by one of my favourite songs from wicked the musical! i've included a yt video here so there's an audio to kinda help set the scene. it'll be fairly obvious when to hit play, but i'll leave a bracketed () comment regardless. btw, MDjarin17, i think you'll like this one :D

ps: let's pretend the wrong jedi arc didn't happen, and that padawanship is like high school for the jedi, meaning once the "final exams" are passed (which is really just the knighting trials), the padawan is a padawan no longer and becomes an official jedi knight! let's go :)

Anakin Skywalker squirmed in his seat.

He just couldn't stay still, not when today was such an important occasion.

Today was her graduation. All of the senior Padawans were graduating from the Jedi Academy and would become fully-fledged Jedi Knights.

He was so, so proud of her.

His Snips had gone from a cocky, headstrong youngling to a thoughtful, kind, and mature leader.

She'd been through and endured so much, yet no matter how difficult things had gotten, she had always pushed through, the smile on her face hardly ever wavering.

Had he mentioned how proud he was of her?

But while there was an overwhelming amount of pride coursing through his veins, it wasn't alone. Longing and sadness were two very unfortunately insistent travel buddies. 

He wouldn't see her as often anymore.

They wouldn't train together as much anymore. 

They wouldn't share a room anymore.

They wouldn't make as many memories together anymore, from this moment on.

But as her name was called, and she made her way across the stage to him, Anakin banished those thoughts to the recesses of his mind.

"Ahsoka," he breathed when she finally came to a stop before him, "Congratulations."

"Thank you, Master," she replied softly, love and gratitude pulsing across their bond. "For everything."

"You're welcome... my old Padawan."

And in a blur of bright blue, Ahsoka's Padawan beads were cut cleanly in half and fell into her open hand.

"Ahsoka Tano," Anakin declared to the hall full of students, "Jedi Knight."

The hall exploded with cheers.

Unbeknownst to the other Knights and Masters, Ahsoka and her best friend Serena had talked to the Order's music teacher and arranged a special performance for themselves and the rest of their graduating class. As the last newly appointed Jedi Knight walked down the steps of the stage, a soft melody began to play over the concert hall speaker. (music on!) 

The new Knights and their former Masters looked at each other in confusion- this wasn't a part of the ceremony. What was happening? 

Until Serena stood up, mic in hand as she slowly made her way to the stage.

"I've heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn, and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them. And we help them in return.
