I sat down at a table in the mess hall or whatever they call it. I didn't get any food though. I don't even think I'm allowed to get any with me not being one of them after all. I wiped my tired eyes. They felt tired and sore. I cried a lot because they abandoned me... I started feeling like crying again but stopped when something was placed in front of me. I looked up and saw some guys in white sit in front of me and next to me. I looked at the plate and saw *le gasp* CAKE!!! I sat up straight and started gobbling it down. It was so yummy. They chuckled. "What's your name kid?" One asked. He sounds like daddy. And Rex. And a lot of other guys too. I swallowed the cake in my mouth. "My name is V." I took another bite. He nodded as he scooped up some soup on a spoon on his tray. "My name's Jessie. This is Cody, Fives, and Tuk." I nodded but they look so similar I can't tell who's who.

"Where are your caretakers kid?" Mr. Jessie asked. I looked down before I could take another bite if cake. "They left me behind..." He looked sad. Was he left behind too? "Well we can take care of you." I looked up to him with excitement. I went to speak but someone else did for me. "That's not gonna happen reg." I looked behind me and saw uncle Cross with everyone with him too. I made an angry face and tried not to cry. "You meanies! You left me!" I turned around crossing my arms. Soon Hunter picked me up. "I'm sorry V. Please forgive me. I was so stressed and was thinking right. Please come with us." I started sniffling then crying as I held onto him. I nod while trying to stop crying. My eyes burned a lot.

Jessie looked defeated when I turned to look at him. He then smiled as he looked back down to his food. "That's good then." Everyone nodded. "Can we play now?" Daddy nodded and we left to play. Uncle Wrecker picked me up. "Ready to fly again?" I giggled and threw my hands up. "Yeah!" Everyone else screamed no though. "You're gonna give us a heart attack Wrecker!" Cross yelled at Wrecker. Uncle Wrecker put me on his shoulder and started running. "Last one to the ship scrubs it clean!" Everyone yelled and chased after us. I laughed as Uncle Wreck carried me all the way to the ship.

Eventually uncle Wrecker got us there and we weren't last! He put me down and I walked onto the ship. Soon all the others came out from inside the ship. "Wrecker and V lost." Echo said as he picked me up. "Nope!" Everyone looked at me confused. "I got on the ship before uncle Wrecker. Therefore he loses!" His jaw dropped as Wrecker tried to find words to speak but couldn't. Everyone but uncle Cross laughed. Echo carried me onto the ship and sat me down on a chair as I heard uncle Wrecker complain. I giggled and spun in my chair in circles but uncle Cross stopped me. "Kid you'll get sick if you do that." I whined but he looked at uncle Wrecker as he picked up some rags then turned back to me with a smirk. "You know what? Go faster." He spun me really fast as I laughed and squealed. My tummy started to hurt. "Cross. Don't make Wreckers job even harder." Daddy said as Uncle Cross groaned and stopped me. I whined holding my tummy as it started to stop hurting. I felt hungry again. "Alright let's go. We've got a job in Kaller. Some Jedi need our help." I watched as the doors closed and we took off. Kaller is a funny name. I wonder what's there.

I listened as Wrecker was cleaning and daddy and uncles talked. "There's a fight going on. Might need our help." Uncle Cross sat down chewing on a toothpick. "Need help or just getting more credits?" Daddy rolled his eyes as Uncle Cross looked at me. I want one! I was eying his toothpick. He pulled one out of his magic toothpick pocket and handed me one but daddy snatched it. "I don't want wood in her mouth Cross." He rolled his eyes as daddy threw it away. A perfectly good toothpick! I pouted upset. I am a big girl. I won't get splinters because uncle Cross won't get splinters. He chews on them all the time. When daddy turned away uncle Cross handed me another. I tried to stay quiet but I giggled as I grabbed it and put it in my mouth immediately stabbing my tongue. "Owie!" I yelped and held my tongue. It hurt. Uncle Cross laughed as daddy started yelling at him. Uncle Tech picked me up and out something cold in my mouth. It helped a little. He smiled down at me as he carried me to the cockpit where uncle Echo was sitting. He sat down while holding me and I watched as lights zoomed past us. It looked so cool! I started feeling sleepy. But I don't wanna sleep yet! I yawned anyways and fell asleep on Uncle Techs lap.

"Echo's pov*

I looked over at Tech holding a sleeping V. I saw him looking at her with adoration and love. She really has become a part of our family and stolen our hearts. I turned back to the cockpit windows. "You know." Tech turned to me. "She adopted a reg unborn." He nodded. "We all know." I nodded along with him. "We're gonna need a bigger ship." He sighed. "That's an absolute no from Hunter. This is his baby." I laughed. That seems to be happening a lot with anyone with their own ship. First it'll be scavengers, then Jedi, and now clones. I rubbed my head where the mechanic parts were poking out of. "You don't have to worry anymore. Not only will she be safe but you will be too. We have always kept you safe once you joined." He nods. "That's not the issue... Just... The memories..." Tech nodded. "We all get nightmares and overloads. Especially Hunter because of his ungraded senses." I nodded. Makes sense. Everyone has a special ability... I look down to my mechanical arm, twisting it. Watching as it spins in different directions. Maybe this won't be so bad after all but this all makes me wonder. What about V's relatives? How would her life had been if she'd either been found by her people or...not found at all.
