The Clones & Their Vod'ika

Talk Shit, Get Hit (Part 1)

A/N: Here we are, with a new short story! First of all, I wanted to credit Sister_of_SHIELD for helping me cuz she's the best ✊😌

Second of all...I'm gonna make Lux look so bad and it's gonna be so OOC so if you don't like it or you ship Luxsoka

Lastly, this is set somewhere after the Onderon arc. Now let's dropkick this little shit >:) 

Ahsoka was exhausted. She was a soldier, fighting in a war, and the Jedi still thought that she should catch up on her studies, giving her piles and piles of homework, varying from language studies to star systems. She tapped her fingers to a tuneless beat, trying to release her frustration through the force. Nothing happened. She glared at the blank flimsi in front of her.

Maybe if I stare at it long enough, it'll write itself.

Her holopad rang. She ignored it, her concentration on staring the flimsi down.

Her holopad vibrated insistently for the second time. She glared at the pad now, and the words LUX was visible in bright blue letters. Ahsoka was curious and annoyed by the interruption.

What is he even calling me for?

She picked up the pad, and aggressively clicked 'accept.'

"Ahsoka? You there?"

She rolled her eyes. If she wasn't there, she wouldn't have picked up. She urged some fake enthusiasm in her response, not wanting to spread her bad mood to everyone else.

"Yes! What do you need?"

"I, uh, was wondering if, um, you wanted to go on a date with me?"

Ahsoka blinked. And she blinked again. And Lux would've heard her laughs if she didn't try to smother them down. She calmed down, schooling her face into a neutral expression before replying.

"Lux. You know a Jedi can't form attachments right?"

"Well yeah, but I was wondering...since I know you liked me?"

Ahsoka gave the holopad a frown, her thoughts stopping at a halt.

Hold up. What? Is he that stupid? Did he not even hear one word of what I just said?

"Ahsoka? You still there?"

"Yeah. Also, who ever said I liked you?"

"Well, I know you did before-"

"No. I never said that."

She remembered having a crush on Bonteri. Oh, she remembered it well. But it only lasted about several days, and she was over it. She couldn't see the same qualities she had saw in him in the beginning, and she was glad. She didn't tell anyone about it, but she suspected Anakin and Obi-Wan knew something.

"But you looked like-"

"Sorry, Lux. I'll have to say no to that. First, because the Jedi code strictly prohibits attachments of any kind (she tried to not think about the strong relationships she had with the other people in her life), and because I don't feel the same way...anymore."

Lux didn't answer for a minute and he abruptly ended the call.

She felt bad, but she had tried her best to let him down gently. She shrugged and went back to her work.

Ahsoka didn't expect to get a call from him only two days later. She had decided on pressing to 'decline' button, but thought better of it and accepted the call.
