A/N: YES! Last day of the month and I got the sequel to "You Can't Learn How to Hug" or whatever I named it. So yeah I'm not gonna die today! Anyway onto the summery. Summery: After the events in the first one Kanan calls a bonding day. After and exciting day they all learn something. And the unhuggable ends up in a group hug. There is feels; trust me. It follows right after the last part. Anyway; On with the fic.
Realizing that he was still in Ezra's bed with his hands wrapped around him he slowly, to not wake him up, leave to his room. Maybe he can teach him something. Like how to act like a family. Hopefully the hugs will come back naturally that way.
That morning Ezra woke up to Kanan waking everyone up at dawn. Zeb was already trying to get a few extra hours, but he just did what he told him. He was not in the mood for any arguing with him, but got a surprise when everyone, even Chopper, was outside when he stumbled out followed by Zeb. "Today for training," he skipped the jedi part because there was no connection to anything jedi related planned today, "we are going to have some family bonding time!" Kanan actually looked happy, so did Hera, but everyone else... Zeb looked like he was bored with it already, Sabine looked unsure, and Ezra gave everyone a "I hate everything and everyone" look.
"Come on guys with all the Empire activity we need this." Hera tried to tell them. Sabine still looked unsure and Ezra continued his glare.
"Fine." Zeb had no reason for it; also no reason to go against it either.
"And you two?" Kanan asked the only two left. Sabine just shrugged and Ezra still glared.
"I guess this couldn't be too bad." Sabine agreed with a friendlier look.
"Ezra..." Trying to hold his sadness back with slight faulter in his shields.
"No. It's a bad idea. Getting close to people is how you get hurt."
"Well you're not staying here. Last time that happened we found you in the vents after you nearly destroyed Chopper. Thinking of Chopper," Hera bent down to the droid's level, "you are coming too." Chopper "spoke" is delights making Hera smile.
"Fine; I'll go." Ezra stated reluctantly. Everyone got excited when he agreed and Kanan went over his plan for the day.
"I thought you said we would get a break from the Empire." Sabine stated. They were going to have 'fun' with the Empire first.
"Come on it's going to be fun. You can do anything you like." Kanan replied.
"Anything?" Zeb said with a huge smile on his face.
"Yes Zeb anything."
"Then what are we waiting for!"
They walked (just so they had to talk to each other on the way) to the nearest city. Zeb and Sabine dashed to the stormtroopers surrounding the city. Zeb was smashing their heads together and Sabine was painting their armor, even taking them off to keep. Kanan rushed off to get a few of his own trophies as Hera was stealing their blasters (she needs more than that little blaster she has and just in case they need them). Ezra took to the roof tops scanning the scene around him. His watchful eyes looking for anything worth getting from the bucketheads. Not seeing anything worth his time he just sat back on the roof watching as the rest of the team enjoyed robbing from the stormtroopers. Then he realized Chopper was next to him and they enjoyed the rooftop together. (A/N: Don't ask. Chopper has his ways. I do not intend any Chopra but it does sound like a ship I'd like to write...)
Once the crew was done with their "fun" they traveled to many different planets. From snowy to hot and everything between the crew went from big cities to deserted dwarfs (A/N: ? Don't question it. Or any of this.) giving in to the fun they haven't experienced in a long time. Everyone found something they were missing. Sabine: she saw the crew as more than just teammates. Zeb: He realized that there are galaxies of planets he never explored (from being planetbound on Lasan). Hera: She found that there is more to life than just flying a ship and rebels against the Empire; something she forgot during all the missions they were doing. Kanan: Kanan got closer to the crew. Ezra: The young padawan realized that he should have meet the crew after all. That his parents were captured for the greater good when he finally took the time to get to know the crew and enjoy it.
*You Won't Believe This. . . TIME SKIP HAHA!! (Skipping time=INSANITY)*
That night; they all went to bed happily. They had sweet dreams, except Ezra had another nightmare. It was his average "The Empire takes your parents and you. They "kill" your parents in front of you. You lose all hope and become a sith that kills the rest of the rebels (ghost crew included)." nightmare but something was different. This time... the ghost crew came and stopped the capture of his parents.
Ezra gasped, rather loudly, and woke up to the dark room he and Zeb stayed in. Kanan, already prepared, came rushing in. "Ezra what's wrong!!" He asked in a panic.
"It had a happy ending..." Kanan gave a sigh of relief.
"Did you enjoy it?"
"Yes er no. It was a nightmare."
"What did I tell ya?"
"I guess I was meant to be here." The padawan stated; although he really didn't know. He hated both realities. Even if one of them was fake. "I'm~ I'm going back to sleep." He said as happily as possible. "Can I get a hug first?" Kanan asked unexpectedly.
"What?" Kanan used the force to bring Ezra in his arms. He wrapped his padawan's arms around him for a hug.
He didn't expect his padawan to hold onto him. Almost returning the gesture.
They stood there for awhile. In that moment Ezra knew he was meant to be here, especially when two large, strong, and furry arms joined in and two armorless, smoothe, and trained arms to join. Before he knew it; the entire crew was hugging the him; surrounding him with warmth and kindness.
In the end; you can learn how to hug. If you try hard enough.
A/N: OMG it's the 29th. I'm just a nut today lol! Hope you enjoyed and is not bothered by this A/N (or any of them) I just had to say that.
