I LAND TO THE GROUND CAREFULLY AND THE FLYING CREATURE DISAPPEARS INTO THE SKY. Darana lands beside me and we move over to Anakin and Ahsoka. My eyes move over to the ship stationed on the landing platform.

"We're taking this junk? We'd be better off on that big bug." Ahsoka calls out and Anakin glances at her. "Head aboard and prime the engines." He calls out and I turn to Darana. "Darana, could you go help Ahsoka?" The Chiss girl nods her head and follows after the girl.

I turn to the huttlet, making sure it's alright. R2 lands behind us and moves towards us. The two girls walk ahead and Anakin looks at me. "I've missed you, Etta." He tells me and I look at him. "I've missed you too, Anakin." That's one feeling that I understand. I understand that I've missed him.

There are still certain feelings I don't understand, but I'm starting to know what some mean.

I can hear the sound of blasts going off and turn my head to the noise. Droids walk down from the ship, blasting at Ahsoka and Darana who deflect the shots with their sabres. I unclip mine and hold it in my hand.

"They're at it again." Anakin says and straps the huttlet onto R2. "Let's go." I say to him and he nods, placing a hand over mine to stop me igniting my saber. I watch as the two girls destroy the droids and I clip my saber back onto my belt. I think I feel proud, I think that's what this feeling is.

Anakin and I walk towards the girls and they make their way up the ramp, with us following behind them. "We should try and contact Master Kenobi or the Clone Captain." I say and go into the cockpit with Anakin. He makes his way into the pilot seat and I take co-pilot.

Anakin presses the button but the ship doesn't power on. Ahsoka groans and rolls her eyes. "Relax, Snips. R2, see if you can spark the ignition couplers." Anakin's calls out to the droids and he does as he says. "No, that's not it. Try opening the fuel lifters all the way." I watch as Anakin speaks, he knows a lot about these things. It's fascinating.

The lights turn on the ship and Anakin smirks slightly. "Good work, buddy." He tells the droid and presses the button. The engines start up and we start to fly the ship towards the battle. Anakin promised he'd help the Clones, but the mission needs to be prioritised.

I will not allow us to stop at all. We must get to tatooine with the huttlet alive. "Master Kenobi is here, now we'll see some real fireworks." Ahsoka calls out as she holds the huttlet which wines in our lap. Anakin's frowns and I glance at him.

"Excuse me? What do you call what I've been doing all day?" Anakin asks his Padawan. I remain silent and so does Darana. It's none of our business. "I don't know, the word 'reckless' comes to mind." Anakin glares at his Padawan after managing to see her in the reflection of the glass in front of him.

"Very funny, Snips. Now back to work, the troops still need our help." I press buttons on the control panel. We won't be landing. "How are we going to help? Stinky's getting sicker and sicker." The girl calls out and I help manoeuvre the ship back to the battle. We'll get out of the atmosphere this way. The mission must come first.

"We promised Rex we'd help him." Anakin calls out and glances at me. "Rex is the Captain." I nod my head at his words, moving my gaze to look at the battle beneath us. I do not feel anything about it, this is not our mission. If my mission was helping to battle then I'd feel different, but it isn't.

"Masters, we've got to get him to the medics on the Jedi cruiser. It's our only way to get stinky back to his father still breathing." I can hear the huttlet whine and I close my eyes, feeling through the force, using it to show me what will happen if we help the Clones.

The huttlet will die, and the Hutts will side with the Seperatists. I can't let this happen. "General, if we do not save the huttlet, the war will not be in our favour." I turn my gaze to look at Anakin and we lock eyes. "I understand that you promised to help the Captain, but our mission is to bring the huttlet back to his home — alive." Anakin and I hold eye contact before I turn on my com-link.

"Captain Rex, this is General Novak." I say and Anakin's eyes remain on me. "Yes General?" Captain Rec asks me. "We won't be able to help you." I tell the Clone. "Don't worry about us, General. We'll be alright. The mission always comes first." The ship flies over them as it makes its way upwards.

I turn off the comlink and the ship makes its way out of the atmosphere. Anakin is silent, whilst I just stare out of the window, completely unaware of what he's feeling.
