Roxy awoke at 5AM sharp, along with the rest of the clones for training. She dressed in her cadet armor, and headed to the gym. Rex greeted her with a smile, "Mornin' Roxy." He said with a nod, Roxy saluted, and said "Good Morning, Captain!" with a smile. "No formalities kid, you know that." Rex told her, "I know" She shrugged and took up a blaster and headed to the shooting range. 

Roxy was 14 now, a month had passed since everything happened, Anakin still wasn't thrilled about having a kid in the 501st. But to be fair, the clones may look older, but their kids in men's bodies. Roxy had the best aim of all the cadets, no one asked why. She still hadn't told Rex about what she did when she was living alone. She was worried he might reject her, but she knew she'd have to tell him sooner or later.

"Nice shootin' kid!" Fives called from the other side of the room, where he was wrestling Echo. "Thanks" She called back, and continued shooting. After blaster training was finished, a few other cadets approached her, "Say, where did you learn to shoot so good?" one of them asked, "Uh, nowhere. Just lucky I guess.." She lied, "C'mon, just tell us so maybe we can get better? Did one of the Captains or Commanders teach you?" He asked, "No. I just learned by myself." She lied again, feeling uncomfortable.

Rex noticed Roxy rubbing her arms and twitching a bit, he knew she was uncomfortable, he walked over. "Hey, back to work you lot." he said. Roxy started walking away as well to do the rest of her training, Rex grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. "What's up kid?" He asked, "Nothing.." Roxy lied and looked away. "I can tell you're lying, is there something you need to tell me?" Rex asked, Roxy sighed, "Can I tell you about it later?" She asked, getting annoyed. 

Rex noticed the unusual behavior and decided to let it go, and when she was ready she'd tell him what was wrong. She then went to wrestle with the other cadets. The reason the other cadets were with the 501st was for training with real troopers, Obi-wan thought it would be a good way for Roxy to meet kids her age, for as long as they'd be kids. Obi-wan was like the awesome Uncle Roxy had never had. But she didn't want friends her age, she was already friends with most of the 501st, they liked her attitude and sass towards Anakin, they thought it was amusing, Anakin didn't though.

After training was done for the day, the cadets left back to Kamino, and Roxy followed Rex and the rest of the guys to the mess hall. They got their late lunch and went to their usual table, which Fives, Echo, Kix, Hardcase, and Rex always sat at, with Roxy of course. One bite into his lunch, Anakin commed Rex, "Captain Rex here." He answered, "Rex, I've got some bounty hunter locked up, he says he's looking for someone? Bring Roxy, maybe she'll gain some experience." He ordered, "Yes sir." Rex said and hung up, "Let's go kid." He said and motioned her to follow. 

She stuffed her face quickly and ran after Rex. "So, what were you gonna tell me earlier?" Rex asked as they walked to the jails. "Uh, I'll tell you later, after the days done, ok?" She asked hopefully. Rex nodded and ruffled her hair and she put on her helmet, which she decorated. 

They arrived at the jails. and saw Anakin standing in front of a cell, "Good, you're here. This guy says he's looking for one of his employees, says she's been missing for a month now, and he blames us for some reason." He informed them, and they walked in. Rex put his helmet on before walking into the cell. 

Roxy stopped in her tracks at who she saw, it was Tritch, her bounty employer. She mentally cursed at herself and her heart began to race. She stood close to Rex, and watched as Anakin asked questions as to why this 'scum' blamed the republic for his missing employee. "I blame you because I saw you sacking houses and you went into hers." He spat. Anakin sighed, "What was her appearance?" Rex asked, "She was just a teenager, maybe like 13? Long brown hair, tan skin, cuts and bruises on her arms. She was one of my best hunters, really brought in the coin." He said, Rex looked down at Roxy, She avoided looking at him.
