She woke up in an escape pod with the distress signal on. She was naked and cold and alone.

That slime. He'd used her, then abandoned her. What luck.

Commander Cody had told General Kenobi that there was no reason to believe there was a missing Padawan in a random escape pod.

 "Master Plo has felt something in the Force. A pulling of the strings. . . A—well, not a disturbance, yet a feeling of oddness that cannot be ignored. I say he is right."

Kenobi turned matter-of-factly and walked to the bridge.

 Cody sighed. He liked the little commander, sure, but she had a way of getting into trouble, he could see that already. And as the ship he and Kenobi were on hit hyperspace, he couldn't help but wonder if the reckless streak ran in everyone from and associated with the 501st.

* * *

Ahsoka just sat there. Something told her there was no need to move. Help was coming. 

And there wasn't even a blanket to cover herself with. 

She had better start waking up first when she slept with people.

 "Escape Pod, this is General Kenobi of the Republic Army. Requesting identity. Over."

 Cody stood by while his general sent the message. 

 "It's not her, sir." He said.

 Kenobi shot him. . .the look. Not just any look, it was the one that said, "Shut up while I'm concentrating. I'm an adult and you're only ten years old, and don't you forget it."

 Cody stared at the pod from the window.

 "Master Obi-Wan? It's Ahsoka! I've been put aboard here by Cad Bane. Did you come for me?"

 Cody felt a surge of disappointment. He was wrong. 

Yet, if the little Togrutan commander was all right, then Kenobi would have one less thing to  worry about.

 "Ahsoka!" Kenobi breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sending Cody to the cargo bay to retrieve you. Activating tractor beam now."

 Cody grabbed his gun and ran towards the cargo bay. He kept the blaster trained on the pod as it came in, just in case Cad was still aboard. 

However, the only one who got out was Ahsoka, and she was completely naked. 

 "Aah!" Screamed Cody, immediately diverting his gaze. "Put your flipping clothes back on! I'm tired of you being naked all the time!" 

 Ahsoka ran up to him and leaped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and putting her legs round his waist. She slipped and Cody dropped the blaster to hold her up. 

 "Oh, I missed you!" 

Cody raised an eyebrow. "Specifically me? Why?" he asked when she nodded.

 "Because you saved me."

 " When? "

 "That night in the Temple when I was naked."

 Because you're always naked, he thought, but didn't say it. She

 "And you let me sleep with you without having sex with me."

 Cody sighed. "Really, it's called being decent. Every single person in the galaxy doesn't want to sleep with you."

 "I know, " Ahsoka said, and then kissed him.

Cody dropped her out of shock. The orange Togruta hopped right back up and continued to kiss him. Cody sank into it, sitting down on a crate and putting an arm around her.

Cody had never been kissed before. He knew what kissing was, and he knew Jedi weren't supposed to do it, especially hanging naked off of a clone. 

 "Well, well, well," said General Kenobi, striding into the room and looking at Cody accusingly.
