I told you these weren't in any order.

The battle of christophsis had been won. Ahsoka Rex and Anakin had run off to find the huttlet and the 212th was stuck in temporary clean up duty. Now with the 501st gone (y/n) was wondering around bored stupid. Kenobi had put a freeze on her commander status although she didn't think she deserved it anyway. It was only automatic because she was a padawan.

It happened after a heated argument in the command center and now she couldn't do anything. She hadn't been able to do anything for the rest if the battle apart from fight. Pacing aimlessly around the halls she soon got an amazing idea.

Slicks betrayal was shocking for all of the clones but not as much as chopper. His in talkative, moody self became more apparent after he was targeted for being the spy. But that wasn't what he cared about. Throughout all of this he'd been humiliated. The droid fingers had been taken off him and replaced with mock and distrust. Who would have thought grumpy chopper would string a little necklace together out of droid fingers.
He was never going to hear the last of it.

Chopper went into his barracks not bothering to turn the light on, which was all going well until he saw a dark figure swing upside down. Chopper completely jumped out of his skin.
"THE KRIFF-"
He threw a blaster part at the light switch to find the new commander hanging from the bed above his.
Anger was the initial thought.

"What the hell are you doing?!" he shouted, glaring at the girl; who cares if she's a jedi!
(y/n) however just swang there.
"Hey."
She thought it would be a funny joke. But apparently not to him.
"Is that all you do?! Hang around to annoy clones?!" he shouted at her.
(y/n) frowned.
Can it off Chop, she's just a Kid.

He went round her and layed down on his bed.
"What do you want?"
(y/n) turned her head round, "just wanted to say hi." she flipped off the bed and landed on her feet.
She stood there waiting for an answer.
Reply to her.
He gave no reply.
"Okay then." she threw him the droid finger chain and went to leave.

Wait what?
Chopper immediately sat up.
"Where did you get this?"
"I got it when the others threw it out. I thought you wanted it back."
"Ummm thanks." he stared at the droid fingers.
"It's fine." she went to leave.
Nonono you idiot.
"hey kid wait!" he ran up to her.

Chopper was actually a really friendly clone when you got to know him, he was more of a laugh than jester. Although she seemed mentally fine Chopper didn't like it how she was forced to fight a war. She was literally still a kid it wasn't right or fair. He always looked out for her in battles and everyone quickly shut up as they found out he was friends with the commander. The main joke they had was when both were tasked to clear out a storage room and they found a load of office chairs. No work was done for an hour as they were spinning around on them and flying across the room.
(y/n) used the force to make the chair he was sitting on go extra fast. It was the best time he had in his life.

One day (y/n) was called to the hangar of the negotiator to see Kenobi and Skywalker there. Chopper was confused. What was the 501st general doing here?
Eventually Obiwan spoke.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier (y/n) but for a few month you need to switch legions. Seeing as the 212th are going on a very dangerous mission you'll be fighting with the 501st."
"Glad to have you aboard (y/n)!" Skywalker grinned.
(y/n) smiled back a little nervous.
Rex was there too at his side.
"Nice to see you again." under his helmet he was blushing.
Dam it Rex stop being so uptight!
"Nice to see you too." The feeling was mutual.
She looked back at Chopper, who for once was smiling.
"Don't worry kid. We'll see eachother again soon."
She looked into his different coloured eyes one last time, and went into the shuttle to carry her to the resolute.

-a month or two later-
Although he was glad to be with his childhood friend, Rex hadn't loosened up. The 212th and the 501st were joining up again for a mission and (y/n) would be joining her master again. She hadn't gotten to know any of the 501st. She knew Rex of course but they never spoke.

She darted round the troops as they mingled with the other platoon. Where was he? Soon she saw jester, now in orange striped uniform, and the second he saw the young Jedi his facial expression went from a regular mood to dread.
"Kid!" he greeted her, "how ya doing?"
(y/n) grinned, "Its alright but abit lonely though. Where's  Chopper?"
Oh kriff.
"Kid," Jester took his helmet off, "Kid... Chopper didn't make it."
"Wait. What?!"
"There was a last attack just after you left. Chopper got caught up in the final Stand. We never found the.... We never found him but we found these." he gave her the droid fingers which where now on a different piece of string.

She hated this war! (y/n) was in her quarters holding the droid fingers, trying not to cry. It wasn't fair he didn't deserve it!
As she was playing around with the chain she felt a weird sensation across her hand then stinging. It was a paper cut.
Upon closer inspection there was a small note forced up a hollowed out droid finger.
