(Aayla's perspective)

I walked back to the bridge to see if I could find the commander but he was no where to be seen so I went over and asked a clone who was standing where me and the commander were. "Excuse me" I spoke softly which got his attention immediately he saluted as soon as he saw me "general Secura I'm Lieutenant Galle" he put his hand down "nice to meet you Lieutenant I was looking for the commander have you seen him". There was a pause as he was thinking but he spoke again "yes I have he was at the barracks". "Thank you Lieutenant" I nodded and walked away until I heard him call my name "general Secura" I turned around to see the Lieutenant "don't be late again" he demanded I guess he was giving me an order so I put my thumb and smiled he turned away looking back at hyperspace I left to head to the barracks.

I don't actually know where the barracks are but I'm sure I'll find them so I searched the ship for 15 minutes until I finally found them and then I read one that said Commander's barracks I'm guessing it was only for him. I knocked and it opened "general what are you doing here".

(Bly's perspective)

I was just sat on my bed I had the room to myself since I was the commander I put my sniper rifle leaning against the wall while I sat on the bed still with all my armour on and then I heard a knock. Who the hell would that be I swear if that is Galle I'm going t— I mentally cut my self off as it turns out general Secura was at my door I didn't know what to do but I calmed myself down and turned on my serious tone. "General what are you doing here" I said this trying my best to hide my shock "I wanted to talk to you" that shocked me even more surely she would want to talk to more interesting clones. "Umm okay" I rubbed the back of my neck nervously and the feeling came back which I had told to go so I forced it back again I don't know what this twe'lek is doing to me to make me feel like this but it is damn effective. "My I come in" she spoke lightly I paused again why am I being so fucking stupid. "Of course general" I moved out of the way so she could walk in I looked down at my hands and they were shaking. Why were they shaking? What is wrong with me when I'm around her.

She sat down on my bed as I closed the door. I looked back at her and she smiled I kept a serious face even though it didn't matter because my face was under the bloody helmet. "You can take you helmet off around me" she joked I rubbed my neck again "general it is really fine" I reassured her but some of my nervousness crept in she tilted her head and her smile disappeared she looked like she had sympathy but for what? "Why are you here General surely there is many more interesting clones you can talk to" that wasn't meant to slip out I didn't even mean to say anything why am I so bloody stupid why do I say questions that I don't want answered. She got off the bed and stood up this cant be good I thought but she didn't come any closer she tilted her head "what do you mean more interesting clones, commander are you not interesting" her face still showed sympathy this is not what I was expecting. I paused again like the stupid clone I am. She took a step forward "um well I'm umm" I paused again what am I doing. She looked confused and took 2 more steps forward "what is your name" she spoke softly.

I had no answer for her.

"Umm well it's a um" I don't know why I'm doing this why am I being so stupid. She took another step forward and the another until I was looking straight down at her we were only a few centimetres apart and I couldn't move back as my back was against the wall she trapped me. There was a pause she was just looking at my helmet awaiting an answer "I don't have one" I finally admitted she looked down and smiled and looked back up at me still with her beauti— I mean nice smile. "I thought so" she said calmly "how di—" she then interrupted me  "some clones told me" she was still smiling and there was silence I really need to stop making arkward silence with her it's probably creepy for her. "Why do you care anyway" I said annoyed but I immediately regretted that why do I keep doing this and why does she not care. "Well a clone should have a name" she said but I just never saw the point if I was made in this war to die what is the point in coming up with a name if I just get shot and die in the war I could be doing more important things. "I don't see the point if I'm just going to die anyway" I said quietly and she smiled and put her hand on the left side on my helmet. "You really don't trust me that much I won't let you die" she laughed and this panicked me I just said something she disagreed with is she like the Kaminoans where if is disagree with her she will kill me I don't think so she doesn't seem like the Kaminoans.  "Okay" that was a stupid reply what the hell is wrong with you CC-5052 why can't you act normal around her. She laughed again well I must be doing something right if I keep making her laugh "your a man of few words" she said still smiling "so you have a personality maybe that could have something to do with your name". I was confused I had a personality "what is my personality" I questioned as I don't even know what it is so how does she. "Your very nervous and that is pretty cute" did she just call me cute well I mean that was a nice compliment I guess but what is cute that I guess nervous I thought that was stupid.

(Aayla's perspective)

Did I really just call him cute now I'm being the nervous one "general what name goes with nervousness" he said. "Enough of the general it's Aayla we're not one duty" I replied he then sounded panicked "I'm sorry general I—" I cut him off "it's Aayla commander not general" I reminded him I smirked and he just said nothing I then thought to myself maybe his face can help him with his name if he has any distinctive facial features. "Do you mind if I remove your helmet" he didn't say a word so I put my hands around his helmet and began to lift it I barely got started and he had already put his hands on my to stop me he moved it back down. "General there's really nothing special behind there I look like the rest of them" he reassured hoping I would let go but I didn't. "Then there shouldn't be an issue in me looking at you" I began to remove his helmet and he was right he looked exactly like the rest of them same hair same eyes. I noticed his eyes weren't facing me and they were looking to the right I smiled and gave him back his helmet "don't worry commander I'll get you a name" I said softly as I opened the door and left probably leaving him a confused mess.
