Echo, Fives, and the 501st sat in the barracks. All of the other battalions had already been assigned a mission. The 212th was going to Corellia, the 91st was going to Utapau, Wolffe and his pack was going to Maridum... and that left the question of where the 501st was going.  

All of the clones sat there, waiting for General Skywalker to come and tell them where they were going. Rex, Dogma, Tup, Fives, Hardcase, and Kix were playing Sabacc. Other clones were striving up conversations. Echo decided to keep reading his book. Suddenly general Skywalker came in. "Boys, I know where we're heading," Anakin said. Everyone looked at him. "Lothal." 

None of them had ever been to Lothal again. "What is the objective, sir?" Rex asked. "We're delivering relief supplies. We're going to be there a while, so I'd say you should start planning what you're going to do," Anakin said. Fives looked up at Echo, ideas pouring through his head like water. Echo just sighed. Anakin walked out of the room, leaving the clones to chat about what they were going to do. 

"Wow, this is going to be great! So much free time," Fives said.

"Yeah, we are going to have a lot of free time, but we're still going there for a reason," Echo reminded him. 

"You always spoil my fun." 

"Yeah, but we still need to stay focused, at least until we deliver those supplies," Echo said. 

"Fine," Fives whined.
