"You're in a good mood today," Obi-Wan commented, seeing Buffy step off of the supply transport, a smile on her face. "I wasn't aware that dodging Separatist fire was all it took to make you happy." Buffy rolled her eyes, but moved closer to him.
"Yes, because I love the thought of being exploding Buffy out in space," she shot back, her smile never fading. "No, it's just that Anakin is in for a rather big surprise, and I can't wait to see his face when he realizes it." Obi-Wan looked at her quizzically, wondering what exactly this surprise could be. "Don't expect me to tell you, Ben. It's going to be a surprise for you as well. So tell me, has my favorite psychotic bitch shown her face since I've been gone?"
"Sadly, no," Obi-Wan replied as another figure emerged from the ship, a Togrutan youngling who looked to be about fourteen. "Is that the surprise you were referring to?" he asked, but Buffy remained cheerfully silent. Shaking his head at his companion's response, he turned his attention to the Padawan, one "Ahsoka."
Later, after they had attempted to contact the Jedi Temple to request reinforcements, only to be disrupted by Separatist forces, Obi-Wan turned to whom he assumed to be his new Padawan. "My apologies, young one," he said. "It's time for a proper introduction."
"I'm the new Padawan Learner, Ahsoka Tano," she replied hesitantly.
"I am Obi-Wan Kenobi, your new master," he answered, moving to stand in front of her. Behind him, Buffy's grin grew even wider. Oh, she was certainly up to something, that was sure.
"I'm at your service, Master Kenobi, but I'm afraid I've been assigned to Master Skywalker," she said, pointing at a shocked Anakin.
"What? No, no, no!" Anakin protested, moving away, only to be stopped by Buffy. "There's got to be a mistake! He's the one who wanted the Padawan."
"Master Yoda was very specific," Ahsoka shot back. "He said Master Skywalker was to assume responsibility for my Jedi training."
"But that doesn't make any sense..." Anakin began to say before Buffy clapped him hard on the back.
"Whining about this can wait," she said, attempting to look serious and utterly failing. "Since droids are all cockroach-y and always come back."
"I'll go check on Rex at his observation post," Anakin sighed and walked away.
"You better take her with you," Obi-Wan chimed in, his hand on Ahsoka's shoulder. Anakin paused and waited for Ahsoka to catch up. Obi-Wan looked at Buffy, who shrugged.
"I told you it'd be a surprise," she said. "Besides, we need another girl around to keep you two out of trouble. There's only so much I can do by myself."
"This coming from the female who attempted to take on a tank by herself with only a blaster last week," he shot back. Ignoring her affronted look, he turned around around walked away. She was right about one thing, though: Ahsoka certainly was a surprise.
