"Numa? Numa! Where are you for God's sake?!" Waxer called out for the twi'lek girl, but little did he know that she was right around the corner giggling
"Numa, this isn't funny, you know we have somewhere to be! Hell, I think we're already late.." He sighed, walking closer and closer to the spot where the little girl was hiding. Then- "BOO!" She jumped out at him, giggling even more as he jolted a little
"Are you trying to give me heart attack?!" He said, trying to sound angry but only ended up smiling at her cute little giggle "I'm sorry daddy, it's just funny when I scare you"
"I wasn't scared...you just surprised me, that's all" he said flatly, giving her a sincere look
"Surrree you weren't" she said teasingly back. She then lifts her arms, waiting to be picked up, and he then obeys as he picks her up with an arm under her bottom and her arms wrapping around his neck
"why are you wearing your clone armor?" She asks hesitantly, hoping it wasn't because of any dangers ahead
"Oh, just to, you know, uh.." He tried to think of a way to put it to where she would understand "it's a respect thing, to show him that we're still brothers, still the same"
"But you're not the same" she said "you left the clone army, daddy. You aren't the same as you used to be..." She said sounding a little confused "wouldn't he accept you for what you are now?"
"Of course he would, he already has Numa, he's happy for me. But-" he sighs "it's complicated, don't worry about it" he says in frustration of not being able to explain to his adopted daughter what he knew
"Alright, can we go now?" The eight-year-old asks impatiently
"Yes, let's go see uncle Boil.."
Hope you guys enjoyed, please review and don't be afraid to give criticism. Sorry this chapter is so short, think of it like a prologue (future ones will be longer) ? and if you want to see how Waxer and Numa got to where they are now, and what is to come, let me know! :)
