" Why does Ahsoka have to run away like this!?" complained Paws as she ran past Rex, holding her datapad " Rex meet me in my quarters in 5 minutes ok?"
" Yes commander!" saluted Rex as he gave her a small smile. " Commander, slow down, I don't know how you do things from your home planet, but here we walk down the corridors!"
" Same rule at school! But I'm in a hurry! Plus I've got a few calls to make!" replied Paws as she pulled out her mobile and showed Rex. " Excuse me,"
" What the heck is that?" he pointed at the phone but Paws was gone. Rex scratched a mysterious rash on his left arm. It always appeared when Ahsoka was in danger." Please be alright, 'soka....."
Rex ran all the way to his room. The door slid open to reveal his whole room covered in tinfoil. " COODY!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SOOO DEAD!!!!" He tore the foil off the wall until he found his rucksack and opened his wardrobe door. He stuffed in a few t-shirts, a pair of jeans, his trainers, underwear, socks and his data pad. He ripped his current clothes off, stuck on his skins and tugged on his expensive armour before grabbing his bag and leaving his room.
In the corridor he found Fives & Echo in their armour carrying a bag. They saluted when they saw their Captain. " Sir, Commander Paws has given us orders to accompany you along with Skywalker. Commander Cody will be joining us later with Gregor." declared Fives as he checked out his new hair cut with the scar form the surgery.
" Alright then, Paws has told me to meet her in her quarters, you're welcome to tag along." simply replied Rex as he threw his bag on his back before the ARCs followed him.
*************************************************************************
Paws sat in her quarters. It was more of an apartment than a simple room with a bed and storage units. It had a lounge, dining room, 4 bedrooms, a large kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a large office with holodiplay units, a desk with 4 chairs and a large window behind them. I feel like a senator more then anything, she thought as she sat down on the sofa in the lounge.
She was wearing a pair of brown leggings with black boots and a burgundy tunic with a silvery belt. Her hair was platted back in a thick French plat that travelled passed her shoulders. Around her waist hung two lightsabers. On her left wrist sat her comlink. To the right of where she sat stood a purple rucksack filled with things that she'd need. Homework, uniform........
the door rang. She walked over to it and pushed a button. The door slid open to reveal a party of jedi clones and a few unfamiliar faces. " Greetings, Masters." she bowed as the jedi walked in. " Hey, Rex, Cody, Fives, Echo and Gregor. This is a bit over the top isn't it?"
" No I like it." replied Fives as he walked past. Behind him stood Anakin Skywalker and a female senator dressed in white with a silver band below her shoulder.
" Master Skywalker," she gave another bow to show respect as she turned her attention to the senator, " Welcome, milady."
" Thank you. Master Skywalker has told me all about you, Padawan Paws" she smiled, " I'm senator Padme Amidala. Thank you for helping the Republic and for your bravery."
" Senator, I did it because it was right. It was my duty. And thank you for saving my life." Paws bowed her head. " Without you being there, I would've been sentenced to death buy the international criminal court. I'm worried about Ahsoka because in America there's this place called Area 51. She could've been found and have been taken there. There are so many military forces down there looking for her because she isn't Human....." she took a deep breath as her eyes drew away from Padme. "My real name is Jade, Jade Burling. That's what they called me but as I've grown up, people just called me Paws because of my connection with animals."
" Don't worry about anything, we're going to make sure that she is found and safe no matter what, Jade." replied Padme as she patted her on the shoulder.
" Jade, we will get Ahsoka back. Even if it means me dying." declared Anakin, smiling. It sent a cold chill down her spine.
