Ahsoka's pov
"Master! Come help me!" I looked up and to the door. Months ago I would've bursted until a sprint to see if she was alright but now this happens daily.
"Alright what do you need this time?" As I was about to walk through the doorway I sensed something. I stopped dead in my tracks. I looked down to see a loose strand of string and then white armour reached out to hide it again. It was painfully obvious that it was jusy another one of Fives pranks. Ugh the things I do for family. I breathe dun and took another large step making sure to hit the tripwire. A shriek eecaped my lips as a bucket full of cold water fell on me, but what really hurt was the ice. I have nosedived off a bridge and fought a damn sith lord for this family, but ice to the head has got to be the worst.
"Seriously! You kept the ice!?" Fives and Imega were wheezing to the point i was debating on calling a space ambulance.
"What can I say? Im a cheap clone." He said inbetween laughter. Hunter leaned over from the door frame to see if he had to make any gravestones yet.
"Everyone alive in he- Ahsoka? You look worse than usual. What are you doing?" I gasped and stood there dtoicly glaring at him. What kind of question was that.
"What am I doing? Oh you know, just chilling. Simply standing here with ice on my head. Hey Hunter on a completely 7nrelated note, want a hug?" I asked as I held my arms put im fromt of me and slowly approached the Sargeant who by the way was already done with life.
"Uh no. Im good actually. Infact I think I hear... literally anyone else calling me sooooo bye!" He tried to run but I already had him. There was no escape. Hehehe... holy shit I'm turning into Darth Maul. Force help us! I tackled the moody Sargeant in a hug and was soon joined by Fives and Omega. It was all fun and games until a cute little lothcat pramced on top of us and decided to fall asleep while still on top of us.
"Well... shit. What do we do now?" I asked.
"Just wake up the damn cat di'kut!" I slapped the back of Fives head.
"The 'damn cat' has a name." Omega fussed at him. I patted her head much gentler and Fives gaurded his again.
"So who's gonna do it?" Dead silence. We all knew what was to come when Cloudy was woken up to soon or too late. She likes to sleep in hour intervals only. She's a picky little loth cat.
"One two three, not it!"
"Not it!"
"Not it!"
"Um, not it?"
"Wait what?" I asked. They all looked at me.
"Woman what kind of rock have you been living under!?"
"Anakin's protctive big brother rock." Out of litetally nowhete Fives gasped and jolted up, successfully waking up Cloudy. Her head slowly rised. She made eye contact with Fives.
"Uh oh." I looked down and winced as she pranced toward Fives roght over my butt.
"I have a bad feeling about this." It was just a big blur from there. I remember Fives getting the livung shit scratched out if him, Omega screamung at both of them, and Echo in the corner tapping his watch. When Fives finally escaped Cloudy's tantrum he ran in Echo's room. I sidestepoed ghen sgut the door behind hum blocking out Cloudy and anyone else from entering. Echo gasped as he saw me swipe the ice cubes out of space on my montrals.
"Fives you were supposed to talk to her, not make her a human water glass!" Fives was panting heavily and took off his helmet to reveal scratches on his cheek. If he was wearing his helmet the whole time then how did Cloudy scratch his face!? That is a talented cat right there.
"What can I say vod. You wantef me to get he rin the room, Hunter made me promise that no one would die, and Omega wanted me to show her how to pull another classic original Ahsokives prank. Its a three in one! A threesom- you know what nevermind." We all facepalmed at Fives who was now scrambling to get me a towel from his and Echo's shared refresher. When he handed fhe towel to me I felt simething oddly swuishy inside of it. Oh god please dotn be another deformed rat incident! Well it wasn't a rat, but Um not sure if it was better or worse.
"Fives I gave this to you an hour ago how did you manage to get mold on it already!?" I exclaimed and quickly dropped the moldy ration bar.
"Oh that's mold? I thought it was just soggy lettuce."
"Oh for force sake help us. More importantly help him." I rolled my eyes and snatched the datapad from them both.
"Fives we'll talk about that later. Right now I just want to know why you called me in here. Did the nurse holicallvtou without me again?" They both snickered when I said his teasing title. Rcho handed the datapad ti me wordlessly and I started scrolling. I remember one time Fives had to hide out in the Anakin's room for 3 weeks because it was the only place where Kix couldnt get to him. All that for calling him a 'sexy nurse bro'. How do I remember all of this crap? I zoned out as I was rummaging through the videos when I found one.
"Whoa. Tell me this is what I think it is!" They both nodded.
"Happy Life Day, Adi'ka." Fives told me as he wrapped a comfortable arm around my shoulders and gave them a small squeeze even though life day was still technically tomorrow.
"So, wanna go annoy your beau to death?"
"Guys I appreciate this so much and its utterly adorable. But don't call him that."
"Fine how about... wanna go annoy your hubby to death?"
"Oh my god that's worse." We all bursted out in laughter. Fives doubled over in laughter so now he was legit holding himself on my shoulders. Suddenly the door sparkef and bursted open to reveal a disgruntled Sargeant and Captain.
"Fives when I said everyone has to live I didn't mean you could take hostages either." I rolled my eyes and put my hands on my hips.
"Happy life day to you too Sarge. Way to ruin the mood. What's next, gonna take away all our 501st life day holomovies too?" They both continued to look at us oddly.
"Were not taking hostages."
"Then what is going on in here exactly?" Rex asked skeptically and somewhat protectivley. I rolled my eyes again.
"Nothing." I glanced down at the holopad i was holding and without thinking tossed it behind me. I hward a thug and Fives groaning from leaping to catch it. Echo and ai just stood there smiling innocently as if we were. Rex eyes them one last time.
"Fine." Rex finally budged. Hunter sent him a half suggestive, half knowing smirk befire addressing us one last time.
"Don't forget you guys, movie time is at 0800. Dont be late or we'll start without you."
"Wow. And I thought we were friends." He rolled his eyes and shut the door. As soon as the door hit the floor we all started eviky cackling. Rex is gonna love this. Fives handed me the holopad. I left to my room immediately. Now Rex and I share the largest room together. Ironically its called the captain's suite. Everyone else got regular room sizes but that was still pretty big too. And at the center where both the Havoc Maruader and the Resistor connected was the big green life day tree where the presents were just piled up. Honestly most of them were from Omega and I, but still we had some gifts for us as well. I heard a knock on my door.
"It's open." Right on cue Rex walked in. I gasped and frantically tried to cover up the datapad with the wrapping paper I had.
"You know normally I'd say its your room too you dont have to knock, but saying who you are would have bern spectacular." He huffed and collapsed on the bed face first.
"Fine. I'll just look at the ceiling." He dramatically flopped around and did as he said he would. I put my back to him and continued wrapping.
"Do you know where the caf is?"
"Hun it's only an hour until movie time why the hell do you need caf?"
"So I don't sleep through the movies and then wake up when everyone's asleep." He answered. It was a logical answer I'll give him that.
"Caf pot is on the Marauder still beside the cockpit. While your over there could you put this underneath the tree please?" He chuckled and did a kick up off the bed and spun right over to me.
"Anything for you love." He planted a sweet kiss on my cheek before taking his present and waltzed right out of the room again.
"No peaking!" I yelled after him.
"I got it, I got it."
"And no shaking, aggressively touching, tape peeling, or ripping until tomorrow morning!"
"No shit sweetheart. This ain't the first 501st or Bad Batch life day rodeo." He he didn't look, someone was bound to. I chuckled to myself as the door shut. Its days like life day eve where you just gotta wonder. How did I get so damn lucky? I walked outside and into the Havoc Marauder where everyone currently was. However what I walked in to, not even I know. Fives and Echo were standing in the center of everyone and Tech was doing one of his nerd speeches again. Everyone was sitting aroynd them chucklung except Wrecker who looked to be having a staring contest with the clock.
"Whenever there's two best friends one of them always ends up, as you would say 'losing their shit'." I snorted so inhumanely all eyes went from them to me with the snap of a finger.
"So let us get this straight." Echo started.
"Your telling me that one of us should be stable!?" Fives shouted out. Everyone bursted out laughing except Tech who kept a straight face which made it even funnier. Omega tiptoed in.
"Hey Ahsoka, arc twins, Rex can I see you in my room for a second?" She asked. We all looked at each other and nodded, the laughter never stopping. Nothing as chaotic as a 501st Life day celebration, the bad batch doesn't help the chaos level either.
"Alright guys. I got Hunter and the rest of the guys something for Life Day and I wanted to make sure it wasn't too much. It'ssomething a few of fhem have wanted for awhile now and I didnt want them to feel left out." She started out. We all awwed at her words. She giggled before continuing or trying to at least.
"Wait did you buy them a Kix!? Awe I want a sexy nurse bro for Life Day now!" Okay Fives was getting over the top today.
"Wha- I- no! Luckily I don't even know what that is. I mean I got them a loth cat!" Right on time a light beige skinned thing jumped out from behind her chair and into my lap.
"Oh hello there. Um why is there a thing in my lap that isn't Cloudy?" I asked somewhat scared.
"Thats my gift to all of them! The cat!" I gawked at her and then the thing in my lap. I had to hold back a gag.
"Yeah Omega this is not a cat." She scoffed and took that thing out of my lap and held it. Fives backed away until he stumbled and did an accidental back roll over Omega's bed. Never once did his eyes leave that thing she was holding.
"Okay well it's a skinless cat but it's still a-" She was cut off by the cat legit roaring in her face.
"Okay yeah this is not a loth cat." She chucked it behund her. It hut the wall and hissed loadly with a deformed meow sound. We all gaped st Omega shocked she did that.
"Well what did you want me to do! Eject it into space?" We all looked st her weirdly at first but hey, it's not the worst idea I've ever heard. I was about to say something more until I heard Hunter scream,
"Movie time!" All of our faces immediately brightened. Thank god Kix was able to send us the movies from the clone war times. I remember placing my head on Rex's lap and my feet on Echo's while I played around with Skyguy's hair since he always sat in the middle on the floor. We basically trampled each other out of the room. I held them all back with the force.
"Haha!" I let them go when I was far enough ahead. Tech was getting the first movie set up. It was called Scroogy. In a heartbeat I kicked off my boots and hopped on the couch.
"Oh nice of you to finally show up." I smirked at them who were clearly agitated.
"Was that absolutely necessary." They simultaneously asked in unison, it was kind of creepy.
"Absolutely." I patted the couch beside me. Echo sighed and took his rightful spot in front of me and Rex behind. After they sat down I plopped my head and feet down. I got comfortable and I went to stare at the huge holodtable in front of us that Tech was projrcting the movie on but instead I saw Fives and Omega booking it towards me. They both leaped in the air. They looked like they were about to snap my legs but thankfully they both have better aim than that and landed on the back of fhe couch. Fives next to Echo anf Omega next to me. On the floor sat Tech and Hunter in front of me and Rex and Wrecker had to lay on the ground to not block the screen. It was cute watching Tech poke out Cloudy on Omega's lap as if he still didn't comprehend what she was. 6 weeks and Tech was still fascinated by the newness of Cloudy. I also found it convenient Hunter was in front of me. Guess I could play with someone's hair afterall. As soon as I touched it with one finger he whacked my hand away.
"Hey!"
"No one. Touches. The hair." I groaned but soon tried again. He sighed however I coukd tell he was smiling.
"Your my brother aren't you?" He stuttered fir a monent trying to think.
"Um, well yes. But I-"
"Please." I gave him the puooy dog eyes and he was trapped. Wrecker was awwing at me begging Hunter
"Come on Sarge just do it!" Repeadetly. Truthfully I felt like I needed this so for one second, it could feel like I was just an innocent 14 year old girl again. Eventually Hunter obligef and granted me hair twirling and combinf privileges, but no combing or pulling he said. He draws the line there.
"Are you done yet or would you like to have another 20 minute whining session." Tech asked, sarcasm dripping from his voice. We all glared at him but nodded. The movie had begun. I leaned my head back and listened intently to the movie. I opened my eyes when I felt Rex go limp.
"Hey wakey wakey! I gave you coffee so no falling asleep until the movies over, got it?" He nods firmly and slapped himself for good measure.
"Don't worry Cyare. I promise we won't have a repeat of last year or the year before." A loud, obnoxious snort threatened to come out but I kept it in. My only focus was on Scroogy now.
Two hours later
Rex's pov
Yeah she was fast asleep. The first movie hadn't even gone off yet. The weird part was she was definitely asleep, yet somehow still twirling a strand of Hunter's hair. How the hell does she do that!? She kept twirling but then she started pulling which was the one thing she wasn't supposed to do. How typical. But what made everybody gasp was her pulling the strand of hair up which made Hunter's bandana come lose and well...
"Oh my god I forgot Hunter had such a big forehead!" Wrecker gushed. I snorted so loud then everybody else joined in laughter. Oh I missed this so much. Fives laughed so much he started choking. Echo and Megs hwd to physically beat his back so he coughed up a... green ration bar?
"Finally I got it out!" He cheered. Ahsoka was just now starting to stir awake. I know from experience how much of a deep sleeper she can be but even this is a bit much. She must be really tired. Suddenly lpud music started playing from the holotable.
"Aw man it's over already? But nothing even exploded!" Wrecker yelled/complained.
"You exploded of laughter. That should count for something." Echo said shooting a cheeky smile from Wrecker to Hunter.
"Oh right. Hehehehehe" His laugh was genuinely concerning. Hunter scurried to his bandana to tie it around his head again.
"Alright guys. It's getting late and we have a fun day ahead of us tomorrow. Shall we head off to sleep?" They all nodded or murmered in agreement. They all dragged their sorry asses to bed, all except for Ahsoka who was visibly sad.
"What's up Cyare?" She leaned back to look up at me.
"Technically you, but I just got my beauty sleep I don't want any more!" I smirked at her amd her whole mood shifted.
"What if I said I wanted to go to bed."
"Why? Don't tell me your tired." I shook my head no. The smirk never left my lips though.
"Who said I didnt just want to lay in bed with you?" She shot me a wary glance but closed her eyes and sighed.
"Well since you asked so nicely." She waltzed out of the Havoc Maruader and into the Resistor. Watching her was certainly not helping my condition. I followed her into the bedroom. She flicked the light off and fell head first on the bed. I chuckled and flicked the light back on.
"Wait what are you doing?" She asked and sat up. I took off my armor so I was judt in my somewhat soft blacks.
"How much longer do you think it'll take for Crosshair to come back?" I asked as I collapsed in bed next to her.
"Tough to say. Hopefully not to long though. For once I can truthfully say I have a good feeling about him. He's a bit rlugh aroynd the edges but he opened up to me. It won't be long before he'll be back in his brothers arms along with us." She said with a warm smile on her beautiful face. I didnt realize I zoned out looking at her face until punched my arm.
"Ow! I forgot you hit so hard." She chuckled and turned on her side to face me more.
"Your one to talk." The blush crept onto my face. She chuckled again and turned onto her back. I laid down right next to her and looked at the ceiling with her.
"Hey Rexy?"
"Yes Soka?"
"Why is there an odd plant hanging from pur ceiling." My eyes shot open like saucers. Evil giggling could be heard from outside.
"Fives!" I exclaimed. Siddenly the giggling stopped now all you could hear was panting as he booked it down the hall back to safety. I shook my head but I knew he would to this. I couldn't be mad anyways. Fives was how we got together, him and his tricky plants. When both of us were too scared to make the first move, Fives did for us.
"Hey you remember when-"
"Of course." We both laughed a lot.
"Well Fives clearly put that plant up there for a reason." I said, then I foynd my smirk coming back to me.
"I think we shouldn't disappoint-" She cut me off in a deep passionste kiss. I immediately kissed back. I also couldn't help the huge grin on my face. I thought the night would end there but one thing led to another. Then that other thing led to another and, well. Let's just say it was another eventful night.
