Part of The Pack

Chapter 2

   The Wolfpack had decided to apologize to Comet when he came back to their quarters. Except, Comet hadn't come back. He wouldn't come back for a long time. They would soon learn that Comet held grudges on people that had hurt him. They would also soon learn that Comet was not someone to mess with. 

The Wolfpack wouldn't find out until the next morning. They had stayed up long after lights out waiting for Comet, but he never returned. They had decided to go to sleep and apologize to Comet in the morning, and they pushed their beds together and slept in their pack pile.

The next morning, however, Comet still hadn't returned. They were getting worried, and they got their armor on and headed towards Plo Koon's quarters. Plo Koon was waiting for them when they arrived. He was not very happy.

"Sir, last night, we had a slight argument with Comet." Sinker said half lying. He wasn't going to tell their general that they shunned Comet, and made him feel worthless and that he ran off.

"I wouldn't call that a disagreement, from what Comet told me." Plo Koon said ignoring the looks that his men gave each other. It hadn't crossed their minds that Comet would tell their general.

"I-uh. Right, sir. It was our fault, we shunned him. Comet hadn't come back last night, and he still wasn't back when we woke up. Do you know where he is?" Boost said.

"Of course I do. After all, I had to make the arrangements for him to transfer to another battalion." Plo Koon replied shrugging. He was amused by the confused looks on their faces.

"Another, battalion? Did he ask to transfer? What battalion is he with?" Wolffe replied only slightly panicking. He was too late to make things right. 

"Yes, he did ask to transfer. I transferred him to the 212th Attack Battalion, he's with Cody and the Ghost Company. From what Master Kenobi told me, they accepted him from the start. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a council meeting to attend to." Plo Koon said and left them outside in the hall. 

Wolffe stood in shock, he didn't think things would go this far. He looked at the others, and they looked at him in shock. 

"Well, he's definitely not Scorpion. Scorpion was too forgiving. Comet seems like-"

"Like someone not so forgiving? Yeah, I think so too."

"C'mon guys, let's go visit Cody. We still need to apologize to Comet." Wolffe said. He was going to try and convince Comet to come back. He felt that he needed Comet in the pack but he couldn't figure it out. It was probably just the guilt tearing him up inside. 

The walk to the 212th's barracks seemed slow. They didn't talk to each other. They were all thinking of what to say to him. 

When they got there they walked in and Comet was sitting on the floor, laughing at whatever Waxer just said. Comet looked up and the grin faded from his face. Waxer and Boil noticed and they looked up, their grins faded as well. Cody who just came out of the refresher looked over at them and motioned for them to meet him in the hallway.

"What are you doing here? He doesn't want to see you. Go away." Cody snarled. He glared at all of them in a way they've never seen before. 

"We came to apologize to Comet. We-"

"I don't want your apology. Now get out of here, before I kick you in the kriffing shebs." Comet threatened. He glared at them with hatred and he looked liked he was ready to kill them.

Kriff, Wolffe thought. That's not your typical shiny. Most shinies would be scared to even talk to Wolffe, let alone talk to Wolffe that way. Apparently, not Comet. The kid has guts. I need to talk to him, I'm sorry about what we did to him.
