Coyote was up early that morning. She sat outside and watched the sun rise and then went back to her duties. She knew there was a mission today and she prayed Rex would let her go. "Morning, Captain." Coyote smiled softly at Rex as she passed him on the way to the shower. The captain nodded at Coyote. "Coyote." He called. "Yes, sir?" She turned. "You're on the mission today. Greet the general when he gets here." Captain ordered. "Yes, sir." Coyote nodded respectfully. Coyote's temper had gotten better and her respect... eh. She walked into the locker room. She groaned slightly as she heard the scuffling and noises of almost every 501st clone in the locker room.

Coyote cleared her throat. "All right!" She shouted. "Y'all have 10 minutes to be out and ready!" She shouted again. "Calm down, cowgirl!" A clone called. A few laughed. She gripped her helmet tightly. "Fine. Just because of that comment. You all only have 5 minutes. Good luck." Coyote nodded. She walked out of the bathroom. "So glad I took mine this morning." The female stood outside the door. She had a timer going. Once three minutes hit a group of clones shuffled out. 4 minutes a larger group of clones came out. Than by 5 every single clone was out of the locker room.

Coyote looked at the time and made her way out to the landing dock, where she awaited General Skywalker. "Morning, General." KitKat nodded. "Morning, Coyote. Where's Rex?" Skywalker raised a brow. "I-I Don't know, sir." She shook her head. "He told me to meet you." Coyote explained.

"General." Rex called wile walking over. "Ah, Rex. You're late." Skywalker chuckled. "Forgive me, General. I had desk work to do." He sighed lightly. "For what, captain?" Coyote raised a brow tilting her head. A blush crept onto Rexes face. "Nothing, trooper. Go make sure the team is ready. Here's who's on the mission today." Rex gave her a list.  Coyote hummed and turned away, reading the list.

Skywalker watched her. "Is there.. I don't know anything going on between you two?" The general smirked lightly. "S-sir?" Rex said nervously.  "You heard me." Skywalker chuckled. "No. I can assure you. There is... nothing." The clone stated reluctantly. "Okay then." The general shook his head.

KitKat boarded the cruiser with a group of 501st clones and a group of rookies. She sat in a chair awaiting orders. Rex, General Anikan Skywalker, General Obi-wan Kanobi, and commander Cody all walked into the bridge. KitKat walked over to them. "Sirs, we are on our way." Her voice manipulator changed her voice so she sounded less like a girl and more like a man. "Good." Anikan nodded at the undercover clone. She nodded back. Coyote turned away and walked over to a few guys who needed a consultant. 

"Why is he short?" Obi-wan asked. Rex snickered as he looked at Coyote. "Faulty clone. He was top of his class so we let him pass." Skywalker smiled. Obi-wan hummed as he nodded at Anikan.

Coyote had a hard time holding her tongue. She hated being called short. She was 5 8". The average height for a women. Rex walked over to the female. "I am proud of you." He chuckled lightly. "Why." She looked over at the clone. "You held your tongue." Rex snickered lightly. "I hate you." She growled. "You snickered when he called me short. Very. Professional." She smirked, under her helmet. But, Rex could feel it.

"We shall be landing on Naboo in about an hour, Sirs." Coyote informed. "Thank you Coyote ." Skywalker nodded at her. Coyote nodded back. She walked through the halls towards a break room. She closed the door and and removed her helmet. She let out a sigh as she sat down. Her hair was a mess. The girl attempted to calm it down a tad. That stuck for 3 seconds. She sat alone for about 30 minutes.

The door to the break room opened. Coyote gasped and hastily placed her helmet on. She realized who it was. "Commander." She shot up. She saluted him. "Relax, Coyote ." He waved his hand. She removed her helmet. "Long time no see." She smiled. "How's 501st treating you? Remember you always have a position available in the 21st." Cody chuckled. "It's been good. And, I know." She chided.

"You seem tired ." Cody looked at her concerned. "I have been." Coyote sighed out. "You clones can be tiring." She remarked. Cody laughed. "It also gets confusing. I tend to get all of the clones mixed up." She rubbed the back of her head. "The only ones I don't is Rex and Fives." Coyote sighed. "Fair." Cody agreed. "So how's being an ARC trooper?" He asked. "Responsibility to the max." She joked. Cody rolled his eyes playfully. 

"So. Have you and Rex gotten close?" He asked. "What? Pffft no. We strictly have a work relationship. Nothing more." She blushed lightly. Cody shook his head chuckling. 'Rex always had a way.' He thought. "Obi wan can be mean." She crossed her arms slumping. "You child." He shook his head. "He called me short, Commander." She protested. "Still." Cody chuckled. "You all stink to." She huffed. Cody rolled his eyes. "We better hurry back." He stood up. KitKat nodded standing up after him. She placed her helmet on her head and followed Cody out.

The ship shook violently as it came out of hyperspace. Coyote stumbled and Rex caught her. They looked at each other for a moment and than turned away. Anikan smirked. Chuckling. Obiwan was confused but, he shook it off. Coyote stared at the green planet. She'd never seen Naboo. She had only ever read about it in books.

The ship landed nicely on the planet. Coyote walked out behind Rex. Following her were Fives, Echo, Hardcase, and a few other 501st troopers. Than out came 21st than the rookies. "So it is as beautiful as the books say." Coyote chuckled.
