Ahsoka was in the Jedi Temple archives, reading up on famous jedi to pass the time. She wasn't really paying attention to the book though. She was to preoccupied with the young man she had met several days before. "Kal." she said to herself absentmindedly.

"Who?" a voice behind her asked.

"Barris? What are you doing here?" Ahsoka asked her best friend.

"I had some free time and thought that I'd read up on a few things," Barris replied, adjusting the books in her arms. "but back to what you said a moment ago, who's Kal?"

"He's uh..." Ahsoka couldn't find an answer, so she decided to tell her best friend the truth. "He's the Separatist that let Master Anakin and I go on our last mission."

"Oh yeah, I heard about that. Why do you think he let you go?"

"I..." she remembered his words 'You interest me, I'd like to see you again and I can't do that if you're dead', she was fighting back a blush, "don't know."

Barris was trying to ignore the obvious for her friend's sake, but it was obvious that something had happened.

Ahsoka had gone back to reading when she came across a name that caught her eye. "Norell Oren?"

"Excuse me?" Barris was confused.

"Kal, er...the Separatist's last name was Oren and look here!" Ahsoka exclaimed excitedly, pointing to her book.

Barris looked into the book and saw the name of a jedi master named Norell Oren, who left the Jedi Order over a decade ago. "Oh my, you don't think there's a connection do you?"

"I don't know, let's see if we can find out" Ahsoka said turning the page, "According to this he was a highly revered master, who spent most of his life pondering the true nature of the force and spent years studying how different cultures viewed and used the force."

"Fascinating, he sounds like an incredible man." Barris remarked.

"Yeah but according to this, his studies led him to question the Jedi Code and leave the Order."

"How sad to see such a noble master fall so far."

"But it if the dates are correct he should be old enough to be Kal's father."

"We should tell the Jedi Council about this, an enemy who was once a member of the Council could be extremely dangerous." Barris said with a worried look on her face.

"Right, we found that out after Dooku."

Far away, in another star system, a lone Star Destroyer was orbiting an abandoned asteroid. Inside, Kal Oren was drawing in a book, a habit of his since he was young, when the door slid open to reveal Count Dooku. "Why did you let the jedi escape?" the old sith bellowed.

Without looking up from his drawing, "they over powered me." he lied blankly.

"I highly doubt that"

"Don't you trust me" the younger man asked sarcastically.

"Hmph, not in the slightest."

"Whatever, they got away, that's the bottom line."

"We can't move along with our plans until Skywalker is out of the way. Don't fail me again." Dooku said, leaving the room.

As soon as the door closed, Kal went back to his drawing. 'You have no idea what my plans are old man. I have no intention of helping you, but you still have something I need.' he laid his book down on the nightstand as he rolled over to sleep. 'Also, I think I have something new to keep me occupied.' The ventilation kicked on and the book flipped open to a half finished drawing of Ahsoka.

Back on Coruscant, Anakin was saying goodbye to Padme. "I always hate it when you leave." he said kissing her cheek.

"I know Anakin, but I have to return to Naboo." she replied trying to sooth him, he always tried to make her stay longer, even if he never succeeded, well almost never. "Don't worry Anakin, I promise to come back as soon as I can."

"'Sigh'. Alright, I suppose I can wait until then." Anakin replied, putting a smile on to hide his sadness.

The secret lovers lovers embraced each other and when they separated, Padme left, leaving Anakin all alone. "BEEP,BEEP!" His comlink went off and he knew he had to put his feelings aside and go back to the life of a Jedi in war time. "Yes, what is it?"

"Anakin, we have a report of a Separatist movement on Quan Mandal. We need you to investigate, and bring Ahsoka with you, she's going stir crazy." Obi-Wan announced through the link.

"Of course, I'm on my way." he replied, leaving the home he secretly shared with his wife and headed to the Temple to pick up Ahsoka and head to the Quad Mandal asteroid belt.
