I was asleep after a particularly grueling training session with Ahsoka and the Generals, hand-to-hand with Captains Cody and Rex was exhausting but "Essential to the Jedi's repertoire of skills." Anyway, I woke to whispers and giggles around me. Keeping my eyes closed, I reached out with the force. I was surrounded by... Clones? Sensing precisely where each one was, I planned a route. I faded into the force, carefully exiting the ring. The leader, an ARC trooper with a beard and a tattoo on the side of his head, pointed out the suddenly obvious. "She's gone."
Before anyone could react, I crept up behind the ARC trooper, and said, in a low voice,
"Boo"
"Gah!" He jumped, startled, along with every other trooper in the room. I burst out laughing.
"Your face! Ahhh hahahaha." Now THAT was entertainment. He looked surprised but started snorting too. "Alright, what are you doing in here?" The clones gave me a sheepish look.
"We were going to prank you, to welcome you to the 212th. And the 501st, the two divisions work together often." Caught ya. But... is that...
"Captain Cody?" He stepped forward. "Okay. If this is sanctioned by him there's another reason. I bet this helps figure out temperaments, based on how they react. Tactical."
Cody nods. "Yeah, but I'm also here to keep Fives here-" he buffeted the ARC's shoulder "-from doing anything all that bad." So the prankster was named Fives.
I yawned. "'Preciate it. I'm gonna go back to sleep, but alert me of any other pranking endeavors. I think I could be a great asset." I disappeared into the force again and moved around unseen. I saw Fives' face light up as he mulled over the possibilities. He gave me a wicked grin.
"I'll keep you posted. Move out, boys!" The clones left my room. I fwumped down on the bed.
When I woke up I had a black, curly mustache glued to my upper lip. DANG Fives was good.
There were a couple of ways I could go about this, since it wouldn't come off. I could A. Hide it, B. ignore it and them, or C. OWN IT. C would be the combination of ease and hilarity, so C it was!
I sauntered into the mess sporting my luscious new stache. Fives and his group were waiting for me inside. "Hey!" I smirked and walked over to them.
"Love the new look," one of them teased.
"Thank you. Fabulous isn't it?"
Fives jumped in. "Welllllll..."
"Oh, hush. You're just jealous." Everyone laughed. I joined them at their table and learned names, Echo, Ares, Hardcase, Relay, Pepper, Jesse, and Aphro to name a few. We joked around, I hadn't felt this level of camaraderie since... I blocked it out. Not the time. I finished my food (if you could even call this food) as Fives turned to me.
"You look good with a mustache," He says, giving me a cheeky smile.
"I look good all the time. But," I rose to go dump my tray. "Good luck sleeping tonight," I whispered in his ear. I walked off with my tray, and couldn't resist turning around once. He gave me a cocky grin, but I noticed, with no small amount of satisfaction, that his face had gone pale. I smirked and blew him a kiss as I turned away. I'd prank him tomorrow night so that he stays up all night tonight and lets down his guard the next. I need to get planning.
