A/N: Guys, I don't speak much Spanish. I'm learning, but if you have any comments on grammar or spelling, please tell me. This occurred to me while zoning out in SciTech. Oops.
Kaitlyn/Tana/Grace are not in this story, nor are the events in Dark Collision, A Pink Lesson In Humility, or my NCIS: LA crossover relevant. This is a new story arc, and just for fun.
Lizzie is mine, but Fives & Co. belong to Lucas.
For anyone else, I'm very sorry I haven't updated recently. I was banned from FanFiction by my parents because I wasn't paying enough attention to school and my grades dropped. I have plenty of story ideas. Glad to be back, and I will post for my crossover, but I don't know when.
The world burned. The Separatists had burned it to the ground. A lone silhouette stood against the great clouds of orange tinted smoke. Three armored men caught sight of the small figure watching the flames hungering for her home.
She turned to step away, and caught sight of the men. Her dark brown eyes caught sight of the pauldrons, and the kamas, and the blue painted armor. Her eyes just darkened more, as the troopers walked up to her. She blinked, and said just two words, "Quienes son?"[Who are you all?]
Fives and Echo exchanged a bewildered glance, and Rex said, "What?"
She scowled, "Qué?"[What?]
Echo looked at Rex, "Uh sir, she doesn't seem to speak Basic."
Rex raised an eyebrow, "Next you're going to tell me Tatooine is a desert planet."
Echo being the one who always follows orders and regulations said, "Uh…Sir? Tatooine is-."
Rex cut him off, "Nevermind. Be quiet."
The female just raised an eyebrow, "Qué dices?Yo no comprendo."[What are you saying? I don't understand.]
Fives sighed, "Do you have any idea what she's saying?"
She just blinked at him, obviously not understanding the question. She then rolled her eyes and pointed at her self, "Lizzie."
Fives grinned, "Now we're getting somewhere." He pointed to himself, "Fives." He then jerked a thumb at Echo, "Echo. He's smart."
She blinked, and repeated carefully, "Fives. Echo. Él es inteligente?"[He is smart?]
Rex then took a step forwards, and said, "Rex."
She nodded, "Rex. Yo soy Lizzie[I am Lizzie]. Soy del sur de Tejas[I'm from south Texas]." She gestured at the burning buildings. "Es terrible[It's terrible]." She then frowned, and said haltingly, "I…don't….speak…much English. Yo no hablo mucho ingles."
Rex shook his head, "Basic. It's called Basic."
She shrank back. "Yo no sabía."[I didn't know.]
Fives put a hand on Rex's arm. "Easy. You scared her. We should take her back to the Resolute with us. It looks like she can speak a little Basic, but not much."
At this she nodded, "Poco." She brought her pointer finger and thumb together, in a gesture.
Rex nodded, then waved for her to follow. "C'mon."
She nodded, falling into step next to Fives, at the back of the group. She asked, "Dónde vamos? Y… yo quiero aprender su lengua…Basic, sí?"[Where are we going? And…I want to learn your language…Basic, yes?]
Fives looked at her, "What is sí?"
She nodded, and said, "Sí," then shook her head and said "No." She frowned, "Sí y no. La palabra de 'no' es lo contrario de la palabra de 'sí'."
Fives just raised an eyebrow, speaking slowly, "So…yes and no?"
She nodded, delighted, "Sí! Y es 'and'."
He sighed, "We have a ways to go."
She shrugged, looking bewildered, and said, "Es bien. A mí me gusta aprender. Tú y yo vamos a aprender mucho."[It's good. I like to learn. You and I are going to learn a lot.]
Fives sighed again, "I didn't catch a word of that."
She shrugged again, "Yo no sé, también."[I don't know, either]
General Skywalker raised an eyebrow, and General Kenobi looked perplexed, stroking his beard contemplatively. Lizzie was scowling.
"Esto es estúpido! [This is stupid!] Ellos no pueden hablar español, y no puedo hablar su lengua.[They can't speak Spanish, and I can't speak their language.]" Lizzie stamped her foot in frustration.
Fives looked at her sympathetically, "We're sorry. We don't….understand."
She raised an eyebrow, "Vosotros no comprendéis? Yo no sabía." [You all don't understand? I didn't know.]
Rex muttered, "She understands sarcasm."
Ashoka appeared next to Anakin, and grinned, "She should understand Skyguy just fine then." She then nodded at Lizzie, "Hi."
Lizzie blinked. "Tengo que aprender mucho." [I have to learn a lot.]
A/N: Again, I'm very sorry about not updating. Please review!
