Echo ~ Surprise gone wrong

   

(BIO)- you are a general, but you can choose whether your a Jedi or not :) Also this story is gender neutral.

Warnings: very minor cursing

    It was an uneventful day, which consisted of training, data pad stuff, and other boring things you dreaded. The only enjoyable part of the day would be when everyone would head to the mess hall for dinner. All the troopers would gather in the mess to converse and spend time with one another. This included you, as their lone general for the time being. Basically the situation was that Generals Skywalker and Obi-Won had a "personal" mission from the Jedi Council, leaving you to run the 501st and the base you were stationed on with them.

   Skipping dinner you decided to head to the barracks to get some greatly needed sleep. You stayed in the barracks with the troopers, with the base not having any separate quarters. Upon entering the dark spacious room, you shivered from the lack of heat provided in the base. Even though you had your (robes/armor) on, it was still freezing in there. Let's just say that it wasn't the most funded base in the galaxy. You walked down the aisle of bunks. There were about 30 bunks on each side with 2 mattresses on each. Your bunk happened to be at the end of the left row, basically in the corner. There were already almost no lights in the dimly lit room, making your bunk hidden in the darkness. Removing your (robes/armor), leaving you only in shorts and a tank top/muscle shirt. Hopping up to the top mattress you tried to relax you sore muscles and aching head. A quick draft made its way across the room making you reach for your folded blanket at the base of the bed. In lifting up the thin piece of fabric, a small piece of paper dropped in front of you. "What the?", you said reaching for the paper. Unfolding the paper you see a short message scribbled on it. The absence of a light source made it almost impossible to read. Squinting you made out the small print...

                Dear (Y/N),

                                     This is your first clue, follow it to find the rest. Your next one will be hidden in                            the mess. Good luck!                  - Your secret admirer

   "Oh gosh, I'm to tired for this, but I guess I have nothing else to do. I bet its Hardcase playing another joke on me." you whispered to yourself, hopping down from the bunk bed. Exiting the barracks you turned a right to the mess hall where the troopers were all eating. You walked bare foot down the long hallway. The floor feeling like a sheet of ice on your bare feet. In reaching the mess hall, you could hear the muffled talking and laughter through then thick doors. Walking in, bright light hit your (E/C) orbs making you squint slightly. Walking around absent minded, you gained stares from the tables of troopers. Just about ready to give up you started to head back to the main doors when a table caught your eye. Sitting there was a group of your friends: Hardcase, Fives, Jesse, Rex, Dogma, Kix, but no Echo. A frown appeared on your face as you walked to the table, Hardcase basically losing it at something Fives had said. 'Where was Echo?' you thought to your to yourself. Jesse saw you and waved you over, "General!" Walking over to an empty seat, you sat between Fives and Jesse and across from Dogma. As soon as you sat down you buried you face in your palms. "You ok sir?", Dogma asked you. You looked up, rubbing your forehead. "yeah I'm fine." you said sighing "By the way do any of you know where Echo is?" you asked. They all nodded 'no', but out of the corner of your eye you could see Fives and Hardcase smirking to one another. "oh, well no sir, but Ill let you know if I see him," Fives said with a bit of teasing tone. With that he reached under the table and handed you a small note. You sighed taking the note getting up. You knew they were up to something. As you left Fives winked at you, making you roll your eyes. Once you were out into the hallway you unfolded the crumbled paper...

             Dear (Y/N),

                          You'll find the next clue at the main weaponry room at the east wing of the base.

                                                                                                 - Your secret admirer

   You sighed clenching the paper in your hands. You cursed in your head knowing this was a huge joke. The other thing that was also very frustrating was that the weaponry room was at the complete other end of the base. Questioning your recent decisions you trudged to the east wing. After about 10 minutes of walking you finally arrived. The automatic doors slid open to reveal the pitch black room. "I swear if this clue is on the other damn side of the base I'm going to..." before you could even finish your sentence a hand grabbed your arm. Reflexes kicking in, you yanked your arm out of the dark figure's grasp. You then proceeded to punch the thing in the face. A loud crash soon followed with a muffled gasp. You were about to hit the grounded figure again but a familiar voice stopped all of your movement. "Don't hit me, please!"it yelled. You smirked realizing it was Echo. Reaching for the lights you flicked them on, revealing Echo sprawled out over a couple crates, his hand to a small bruise on his head. You faceplamed yourself realizing you just punched the poor trooper in the face. You reached your hand out to help him up. What you didn't notice was a crate right under your feet causing you to stumble and fall right on top of him. Your faces were inches apart causing you both to blush. "I am so sorry Echo!" you said pulling away trying to hide your tinted pink face. "It's ok general, I shouldn't have startled you like that." He said getting up. This time he helped you up from the floor. Just as you were regaining your posture Echo grabbed your hand, keeping a tight grasp. Before you could even question his lips crashed onto yours. All you could do was stand there, thinking "What the hell?" but instead of thinking it you mumbled it causing Echo to quickly pull away. "General, I'm...' before he could even finish you cut in. "Its (Y/N) and shut up," putting a hand to his lips. You slowly leaned in kissing his lips gently. It remained like that until you pulled away smirking, his face beat red. "See you later Echo," you said putting a hand to his armored chest. You were just leaving when you heard snickering. And there they were, Hardcase and Fives holding a camera, hiding around the door way. "HARDCASE, FIVES!!!" you yelled. "Uh oh, our position is compromised, move out, MOVE OUT!" Fives yelled. The two ran full speed down the hallway with you trailing behind them fuming. "YOU TWO ARE DEAD MEAT!" you yelled closing in on them. They picked up speed, Hardcase yelling "FOR THE REPUBLIC!!" A stunned Echo still stood in the weaponry room dazed about what just happened.
