This is a work of fan fiction. Most of the characters are OC, but I might add some of the main characters in as well. I do not own the Star Wars Universe, and I want to see George Lucas write a fan fiction. This story takes place in the Clone Wars.
:-
Today was the day. I had applied for a padawan a month ago, and the council finally accepted. They were sending the padawan today. I had no idea what he or she would be like, as the council refused to give me any information. So I had no idea what to tell the clones either.
I was in the training room at the barracks, as well as most of the legion. There were a few clones in the barracks, resting after the last mission. It was mostly the medics though. I debated over calling them to the training room to meet the new addition to the Falcon Company for a while, until I finally went up to the captain.
"Captain Kyle." I greeted him.
Looking over from his target practice, he saw me and stood at attention. "General Ferre."
"No matter how many times I tell you not to, you won't give up on formalities in the training room will you?" I asked, amused.
Relaxed now, the captain laughed. "No sir. Now what did you need me for?"
I looked at my chrono. It was almost 1400, which meant my new padawan would be arriving soon. "There is going to be a… new addition to the Falcon Company at 1400. I need your advice on calling the absent men to the training room."
Thinking about it, he turned around and fired a couple of shots at the target. Apparently it kept him clear headed. Turning back around, he answered. "I think it would be in their best interest to meet the new addition." Putting his helmet on, he sent out the message to the men in the training room.
I lifted my wrist up and spoke into my comm, sending the message out on an open line. The clone quickly responded and were at the training room at 1355. I continued my training for a few minutes before standing up straight and looking at the door. I motioned for the troopers to get in formation.
When the padawan still wasn't there after 10 minutes, I checked my chrono. 1407, they should've been here 7 minutes ago. Where are they?
:-
I peered down from the rafters, trying to judge the distance to the ground. I had fallen asleep up there, waiting for 1400. Unfortunately, I slept too long. My new master looked worried, probably because I was nowhere to be found. I had climbed up here an hour ago, trying to gauge the clones' skills. And of course, I had to fall asleep.
Finally deciding that it wasn't too far of a jump, I climbed over to the back of the room and jumped down behind my new master. Making sure to walk silently and keep my force presence dim, I walked up behind Master Ferre and stopped.
Keeping my face dead serious, I waited for Master Ferre to realize I was here. The clones weren't doing too good of job at keeping it a secret, most of them chuckling.
"What are you laughing at, troopers." He asked, seeming rather confused.
I glared at the group of clones. "Just laughing at your face sir." A clone with purple triangles on his helmet said. He was most likely the captain. From what I could tell, he was a good shot, but not too big on fitness. Master Ferre shrugged, then looked back at the door.
It was another 10 minutes before Master Koth flew in the door. My eyes widened, and I jumped back up to the rafters before he could see me. He was supposed to bring me here, but of course, I wasn't where I said I would be. Which was at the entrance to the temple. Oops.
"Have you seen Cecily Vani around here?" Master Koth asked, rather flustered. The clones, as well as Master Ferre looked confused. "Dark red hair, blue eyes, Jedi robes?"
"Nope. Haven't seen a single hair." Master Ferre replied. "I'm assuming she is to be my new padawan?"
"Yes. She was supposed to meet me outside the temple, but at 1345 she wasn't there." Master Koth said. "Anyway, if she does wonder here on her own, please tell her that I am not pleased."
"Will do, Koth." Master Ferre replied.
While this whole thing was going on, I took the opportunity to look around the training room. The ceiling wasn't too high, thankfully it was only about 20 feet up. There was a boxing ring in the center, and fitness machines towards the front. The shooting range took up most of the back, except for a small water station. They evidently didn't want someone to get accidently shot in the head as they came in the door.
When I looked back up from my observations, I saw that Master Koth was gone and it was safe to come down. I jumped back down and took up my previous position. Giving a nod to the triangle helmeted trooper, I slowly released my hold on my force presence.
"Sir, you might want to look behind you." He suggested.
Master Ferre turned around and smirked. "Am I right in guessing who you are?"
"Cecily Vani, your new padawan." I said, and gave him a quick bow.
"Well then Cecily, welcome to the 328th legion." He said, and I turned to face the clones.

"Wait, wait, wait. That's the new commander?" One of my troopers stepped out disbelievingly.
I looked to the general, who just nodded.
"But she's just a kid! And a girl, for that matter." The trooper continued. Fish was known for being dramatic, but this was over the top.
Again, I looked to the general. He motioned for me to wait, as it seems that the commander was about to do something. And she did something all right.
At first she just kind of glared at Fish, keeping the rest of her face stoic. Then she reached out and in a matter of seconds Fish was halfway across the room, floating upside-down.
The commander walked over to him until she was about 5 inches away from his face. "You know, it's always interesting to see by what bounds people misjudge any sort of Jedi. You, trooper, have surpassed my expectations in a bad way."
She was about to drop him, when he just had to make a remark. "And you, kid, are clearly not fit to be giving orders, with your anger issues and all." Fish said. Before anyone could even tell what was going to happen, Fish was slammed against the back wall.
"Now Master, I believe that I have training to do." And with that, the commander walked out of the room, followed by an extremely amused general.
"I suggest you troopers help Fish, his ego might have been wounded." I tell my troops, and we quickly fell back to training.
