Chapter 23

TW: Sexual content and mention of death. Otherwise, carry on :)

(y/n) POV:

"I call the co-pilot seat!" I pushed past Anakin and Obi-Wan and raced into the ship as soon as the ramp opened for us. I heard Anakin groan behind me followed by Obi-Wan chuckling at us. He was going to be the pilot today, so Anakin would have to sit in the back.

I laughed deviously and as I sat down and waited for them to get into the cockpit. I looked over my shoulder as they finally entered at a leisurely pace and closed the ramp, "Took you long enough, you both have the speed of an old man with a broken hip."

Anakin rolled his eyes and sat in the first seat at the back of the cockpit, and Obi-Wan just shook his head. "You two are such children sometimes."

Anakin snapped his head up and gave Obi-Wan an offended look, "Hey! I didn't do anything that time."

Obi-Wan didn't respond but gave me a small smirk and walked over to the pilot seat. I smiled and shook my head in amusement. Just like me, he gets a kick out of annoying Anakin which is something that is probably going to be constantly happening on this mission. I unintentionally giggled out loud at the thought of Anakin having to deal with Obi-Wan and I doing something mischievous like pretending that we're going to send him into Ryloth alone.

"And just what are you laughing at?" I heard Anakin ask from where he sat in the back.

"Oh nothing." I said innocently while still smiling.

I could sense his temper shortening at mine and Obi-Wan's attitudes and it just entertained me even more.

"What should we do first when we get to Ryloth?" I asked.

Obi-Wan fiddled with the control panel as he was about to start the ship, "Well, it would be best if we didn't make a grand entrance upon our arrival. I'm hoping we can find a way to lure this assassin to us without them knowing that we're there."

I nodded and leaned back in my seat as I considered what we could do. I kept assuming that this would be easy if it was just one assassin but honestly, we never know with this war. We think it's one thing and then we get surprised to learn that it's actually something else. So I don't want to get too confident just yet, which is definitely more than Anakin can say.

He's most likely planning to make a grand entrance which is the exact opposite of what Obi-Wan wants. But then again, that might be the exact reason he does it.

Sometimes I wonder how the three of us have managed to even complete our missions because of how often we banter or divert from the rules. But I don't mind it, because it makes the missions more exciting as opposed to how dull they would be if we just followed protocol all the time.

I decided to take a short nap until we got there, because we would probably need all the energy we had depending on how long this mission takes.

Time skip~

I was awakened by a smack on the top of my head, and my eyes shot open wide to see Obi-Wan standing over me from where I sat.

"Rise and shine! We've landed on the outskirts of the city." He said in an annoyingly cheerful tone.

I blinked up at him in disbelief, still adjusting to my surroundings after being woken like that.

"Did you have to hit me? You could've just shook me awake like a normal person." I grumbled while rubbing the spot he hit on my head.

He shrugged and walked over to the middle of the ship to open the ramp, "I tried many times but you were out cold. Just be happy that I didn't pour water over your head like Anakin suggested."
