Under the carefull eyes of Jesse and Hardcase, you were of finding all sorts of mischieve in an empty landing bay on Kamino. The 501st were on leave and the Resoulute docked on Kamino for the clones to go through some mandatory medical check up. Naturally, you begged to follow your father, Rex, to stay on Kamino as well and he obliged. 

You were more than curious about the ocean covered planet. The constant roars of thunder and lightning flashes awed you. It wasn't raining that day so Jesse and Hardcase, your two uncles as you call them allowed you to explore the landing pad. 

"Don't get close to the edge alright ad'!" You giggled and turned around to face Jesse, waving at him in reply. 

While looking around and admiring the Kaminoan architecture, you had not realized two clone walking to up to you. 

"Hey! What are you doing here?" 

Jumping in suprise, you turned to find two shiny buckets glancing down at your small form. "Oh, hey. I was just looking around" 

One of the shinies scoffed, "Your not a clone. You shouldn't be here or even wear that armor." Raising a brow at them and confused by their treatment towards you, you told them that you came here with the 501st and that Rex would vouch for you and that he's your father. 

"Kid, you need to stop lying." the other shiny began to raise his voice. 

"But I'm not lying. It's true!"

"Don't raise your voice my way!" he replied, puffing himself up to further intimidate you. 

"I bet she's a stow way. Your under arrest until we know why your really here kid" they began to reach for your arm, an in reflex you pulled away harshly. The shinies were growing frustrated as they tried to forcefully grip your arms. "Don't fight back you scug! Your coming with us"

"No...NO!" you screamed to be let go, making the shinies panic. "Shut it brat!" one of them raised a hand and you gasped, shutting your eyes in fear as your knees faltered and you crumbled to the ground.

Curling into yourself you braced for the impact of a hand to you face, but it never hit you. 

The unmistakable gruffness of your father's voice filled the air. "What do you think your doing?" The threat in his voice could not be any more clearer. A pair of gloved hands protectively laid upon your shoulders, while Hardcase shielded you with his body, boxing in the two shinies between him and your father. 

"(Y/n), are you alright? Are you hurt?" Jesse frantically checked you over, kneeling down to match your eye level. Shaking slightly, you managed a nod. 

"Care to explain?" 

"C-captain! Sir!" Rex let go of the shinies hand, waiting in demand for an explaination. "S-she was trespassing, sir."

"A stoway" the other confirmed. "She said that she came here with the 501st and lied about you being her father." 

"Yes sir! She's disrespectful towards clones and-"

"And does that give you any reason at all to even raise a hand at her!" the captain was mad. Boiling mad now. "Talk about disrespect and you two thought it was a good idea to hit a child!" 

The troopers flinched and backed into Hardcase, who cracked his knuckles, "Plus, how would you even know if she's lying" 

"She is!" the shiny told Hardcase. Pointing his fingers towards you, he shouted "That kid's a brat!" 

A harsh grip landed on the troopers shoulder "DON'T . EVER . CALL . MY . DAUGHTER . A . BRAT" Rex shoved the shiny away. The other watched the whole exchange and looked back and forth between you and the Captain of the 501st.

"Y-Your the captain's daughter?!" 

You hid a smile and shurgged innocently, "I tried being honest.."

Jesse's eyes landed on the two shinies, "Harm her again, and her dad will not be last thing to haunt your nightmares. Got it shiny?" 

The two shinies nodded frantically and Jesse and Hardcase hoiseted them up, pulling the troublemakers aside to have their own words with the shinies. 

Watching the shinines disappear, a shiver ran down your spine. Though, it was immediately washed away when you were brought into a warm hug. Rex pulled you protectively and lovingly to his side, gathering strings of your hair between his fingers as he laid his head on yours. "You alright adika?" 

You squeezed your father back with all your strenght and hummed shakily. "I tried to tell them"

Rex hushed you gently, "I know sweetheart. They should have known better than to even raise a hand towards a child, mine or someone elses." He pulled away from the hug and cupped your cheek. He checked you over and finally his eyes landed on your wrist. 

"Hmph. They are lucky they didn't bruise you. Otherwise-"

"Dad, it's alright. They didn't hurt me. I'm fine you see" to prove it, you have him a 360 spin and laughed giddily. Rex smirked and shook his head, "Yeah, your one tough cookie I'll say that"

"I'm your tough cookie" this elicited the most gentle of looks from Rex as he softened at his daughter's happy smile.

"Yeah, you definetely are"

"Your a tough cookie dad. I want to be just as tough as you." Rex chuckled as you gave him the cheesiest smile. Both you and your father walked side by side to the baracks. The only thing you didn't realize was the endearing smile the captain wore on his face as he wathced you talk about your day and tuned out everything but you. The ray of hope that made this life all the more meaningful and worth living.
