Part of The Pack

Chapter 12

"Do I have to do this?" Sinker complained, glaring at the pool where Kit Fisto was swimming in. It was the first day of Sinker's swimming lessons and Plo Koon had spent an hour to get Sinker to the pool. 

"Yeah, you have to. Now get in." Wolffe growled out as he watched Comet attempt a backflip into the shallow end of the pool. "Comet, what did I tell you about backflips? You can only do them in the deep end because I don't want you to hit your head."

"Fine," Comet said. He walked over and tried to shove Sinker into the pool. He laughed when Sinker started to throw a hissy fit and splashed around in the shallow end. Sinker immediately got out of the pool and glared at Comet. 

"Comet, don't shove your brother in the pool!" Plo Koon instructed from the bench where he was watching his Wolfpack boys. 

"But it was in the shallow end! And he was standing, not drowning!" Comet shouted back. He huffed and threw himself in the pool, not bothering to reason with his brothers. 

"Come on in, Sinker. Don't worry about drowning, you'll be swimming in no time!" Kit Fisto said enthusiastically. 

"Yeah, you'll be doing the doggy paddle." Fives laughed from the other side of the pool, near Comet.

"Does he have to be here? I thought this was a private lesson where no one else was coming unless we invited them." Sinker complained.

"Oh, yeah about that," Comet said suddenly. "I may or may not have invited the 501st."

"YOU DID WHAT?! COMET! SERIOUSLY?" Sinker yelled as the 501st jumped into the pool. He groaned and began to go towards the edge of the pool. 

"That's it Sinker! Just come into the pool slowly. We'll work on the basics, first. You'll use the kickboard." Kit Fisto said with a smile. 

"Uh, okay. Are you sure I won't drown?" Sinker said hesitating to get into the water.

"I'm positive." Kit Fisto declared. Sinker shrugged but got in the water and clung onto the wall not daring to let go.

Kit Fisto handed Sinker a kickboard and helped Sinker onto it. "Okay, good job Sinker. Now, all you have to do is kick."

Sinker gave Fisto a concerned look but he started kicking anyways. He kicked from the shallow side of the pool to the deep end and back. "Okay, this wasn't so bad. I think I can handle this." He said panting from all his hard work. 

"COMET! NO DOING BACK FLIPS IN THE SHALLOW END! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT?" Wolffe yelled. Comet yelped, clearly startled from Wolffe yelling at him.

"Hardcase was doing it. He said it was fine if I did it." Comet stated. 

"Hardcase shouldn't be doing it, either. I'm just trying to make sure you don't get hurt, Comet." Wolffe sighed. Comet started to give Wolffe a hug but pushed Wolffe into the pool, instead.

"I should've seen that coming." Wolffe groaned. Sinker was using the kickboard and he kicked water into Wolffe's face as he went by. 

"Sorry, 'bout that Wolffe." Sinker grinned. 

"I think Sinker's name needs to be changed to Floater. 'Cuz like he's floating now." Comet laughed as he did another backflip in the shallow end making Wolffe go ballistic. 

"COMET! I TOLD YOU AT LEAST FIVE TIMES TO NOT DO BACK FLIPS IN THE SHALLOW END. YOU'RE STAYING OUT OF THE POOL FOR HALF AN HOUR. MAYBE YOU'LL FINALLY STOP DOING BACK FLIPS IN THE SHALLOW END!" Wolffe yelled at the top of his lungs. 

"Why? Rex said I could! So did General Skywalker!" Comet whined as he got out of the pool. 

"General Skywalker is not your general and Rex is not your captain. I am your commander, so you'll listen to me. Actually, you can stay in the pool. Just don't do backflips, anymore?" Wolffe growled, crossing his arms.

"Ugh, whatever, Wolffe. You take the fun out of everything. Not only that but you're so controlling! You never let me do what I want! Just leave me alone and let me do what I want!" Comet shouted as he grabbed a towel and started walking out of the pool room. 

"Comet, where are you going? Don't make me stay with my crazy brothers!" Tup shouted after Comet.

"I'm going back to the barracks, Tup. You can come if you want, I just want to be away from Wolffe!" Comet responded. 

"Comet, you're over-reacting. Just get back here. I order you to come back." Wolffe ordered.

"Yeah? Well, guess what? I don't want to listen to you anymore!" Comet hissed, stomping out of the room. 

"FINE THEN! DON'T LISTEN TO ME! YOU CAN TRANSFER TO ANOTHER BATTALION IF YOU WANT! I'M DONE WITH YOU NOT LISTENING TO ME! I'LL PUT YOU BACK WITH CODY!" Wolffe yelled. 

"OKAY, I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT, EVENTUALLY. AT LEAST CODY'S NICER THAN YOU!" Comet screamed. 

"WOLFFE! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR? COMET IS PART OF THE PACK! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I WON'T LET YOU!" Boost yelled as he shoved Wolffe into the pool and ran after Comet. The rest of the Wolfpack, besides Wolffe, ran after their pup of the pack.
