I'm have. Mental images.
Okay so basically: I keep imagining Ahsoka dance-fighting to 'How It's Done,' specifically the Zoey bits. These imaginings were general late-TCW/Rebellion era stuff, but then I was like 'what's a context for this?' and it shifted to a different period.
So it's! another time-travel Ahsoka concept.
She's tossed back to shortly before the war, so like 10-12 range. Mental travel, not physical, she is SMALL and everyone sees her as a child. She's keeping it a secret but not very well. Impulse control of a baby, etc.
There's a big lightsaber class! And she uhhhh zones out and starts moving on automatic and despite the changes to her body, she's clearly much more competent than recently.
Teacher asks, Ahsoka deflects, they press, and she tries to distract everyone (poorly) by suggesting they see how she can do against multiple opponents! They are not convinced, but the other kids can tell she's angling for something and volunteer to do it, because what if it's interesting? They like interesting. Everyone likes interesting.
"If I'm wrong, you can say you told me I'm too arrogant. And if I'm right… uh, I don't know. You can move me to a higher class? Yeah! I can, you know, skip a grade."
The teacher is not convinced, but the whole 'you can say I told you so' thing is enough for them to sign off on 'all the other kids attack Ahsoka for a turn.'
They do the spar.
Ahsoka tosses away her training saber as soon as they're told to start. IMMEDIATELY jumps into action, literally, doing various backflips and slides and other things to just redirect the kiddos into each other, tripping them and startling them into dropping their sabers and so on. Doesn't hurt anyone more than a bruised knee from falling, but is very, VERY clearly competent beyond her years. She is fighting off a dozen of her saber-wielding classmates with her bare hands.
The teacher is now concerned, for obvious reasons. Wondering if maybe Ahsoka's been possessed by a ghost or something. The other kids are all a bit sore emotionally, but mostly good sports.
Ahsoka is bouncing on her toes and clearly kinda wired. She lingers when the other kids leave the mat to get a drink, because the teacher looks suspicious of her.
AND THEN
A LASER
Well, a blaster shot. a weak one. from one of the flying training simulators. which is behind her. She isn't singed, because the subconscious reflex of 'summon saber and block' is SO ingrained from years of war and ecaping the Empire.
She looks up, belatedly registering what happened, and sees the teacher staring at her.
The teacher then looks behind her, suddenly angry, and Ahsoka hears a bunch of whirring, and she also turns.
"Padawan Skywalker! What are you doing? She is a CHILD."
And there's Anakin. Head tilted. Oddly calm. He smiles a little when he sees her. Obi-Wan is also there, but Ahsoka's eyes are fixed on her old master.
He has the remote control for another dozen droids, and an extra training saber, which he tosses to her.
"Fulcrum. Show me whatcha got."
And she does.
Anyway this did start out as Ahsoka doing some Zoey stuff in the style of the How It's Done sequence, but then it turned into this.
