Hi y'all! So first Star Wars Fanfiction (of many to be coming) and I hope y'all enjoy them. I'm Oceanera12, but you can call me Era. (; So explanation on how the heck we came up with this. Yes, we. Say Hi, Padawan.

HI! I'm ArtyandTintinFan!

Yep. Their my 'Padawan' and I'm their 'Master'. We wrote this together and had quite a time. You'll laugh, you'll cry-

Mostly cry though.

-Padawan!

Well, it's true!

Never mind... But still! You know what, let's explain at the end because no one wants to hear us bickering.

Okay!

... Without further ado, COMMANDER PILLOW!

Chapter 1: Trooper Pillow

"Medic! Coming through!" a clone medic shouted, as he shoved his way through the halls of Kamino towards the docking bay.

Several cadets, who were just returning from a training exercise, noted the movement and after an exchange of smiles, ducked away from the rest of their group.

Joining the small group of rebels was CC-2224, a little reluctant to be going along with the band. This sort of activity had gotten his 'squad' in trouble before and the sight of messy platters from the mess hall along with that horrid smell would not leave his memory anytime soon. Weren't they getting a little too old for this slacking off? A Captain was supposed to be an example, not a rebel. Their final test was in a few weeks, and he did not want to be assigned on maintenance.

The five cadets arrived at the docking bay to complete chaos. Unfortunately for them, their presence did not go unnoticed. Fortunately for them, they were not in trouble. In fact, their arrival was most welcome. Injured troopers needed help getting to the medical bay- and five healthy and rested clones were just what the medics needed.

CC-2224 witnessed what carnage battle could leave behind as a steady stream of troops began to head to the medical center. He had overheard some guards talking about how the first of their brothers had been launched to fight on Geonosis, but he hadn't thought he'd see the damage it had done.

As he helped a wounded trooper to a transport, another gunship landed. When it opened several troopers were trying to help a man out. A man who did not look like anyone on the planet.

Two medics abandoned the transport and rushed over to him, but he pushed them away, saying in an accented voice, "I'm fine!"

CC-2224 dropped his trooper off, then was ordered to go help the other medics with the stranger. As he drew closer to the small group, he took note of the man's clothing, a brown robe with light tunics. As he approached, he heard one of the medics trying to get the man to sit down.

"General, let me-"

"I'm fine."

At the word 'general', CC-2224 realized that the injured man was a Jedi. He drew closer, a little curious. He'd never actually seen a Jedi and was a little disappointed on how plain the man looked. His robe touched the floor and was wrapped around him, his tunic barely seen underneath. His belt was made of leather and had a silver tube hooked on the left side. CC-2224 guessed the tube was a lightsaber, the weapon choice of the Jedi. The Jedi looked exhausted and was limping slightly, but would not let the medics even touch him.

CC-2224 had the sudden urge to run in the opposite direction in intimidation. Jedi were the generals of the army, and he wasn't even a trooper yet! But he had orders and he was going to follow them… whether it involved a stubborn Jedi or not. Besides, his training as a future Commander would require him to have interactions with a Jedi almost 24/7. This would be good experience… he hoped.

One medic, CT-6116, was trying to bandage the General's arm, but the Jedi lightly but firmly pushed him away. "I'm fine, trooper! Help someone else!"

"Um… with all do respect, sir. You-"

But the Jedi didn't stick around to listen but began to march towards the hallway.

CT-6116 exchanged a very confused look with his companion. Meanwhile, CC-2224 was rethinking that this interaction would be good experiance. He quickly shook the thought aside and straightened up. It was time to follow the General.

When CC-2224 found the Jedi, he was leaning against a wall, breathing heavily. "Um… Sir? Do you need assistance?"

The Jedi straightened up and looked at the approaching clone, his gaze a little blurry. "No, trooper. I'm just… a little tired."

"Do you- General!" CC-2224 rushed forward as the Jedi passed out. Unfortunately, the clone did not do the best job at catching the man, as he had been caught off guard when the Jedi had passed out.

When he finally got his bearings, CC-2224 found himself on his stomach, underneath the general, the Jedi's head on his back. Vaguely, he wondered how he had gotten in such a position, but shoved the thought aside. "How am I going to get up?" he asked himself aloud. The clone did not want to wake the exhausted General, or injure him any further since he did not know the extent of his injuries.

Before he could try anything, the two medics from before, along with two of his squad members walked in. The four of them just froze when they saw him on the floor, the unconscious Jedi on his back.

After a moment, CT-7567 chuckled and crouched down by the grounded clone. "What happened? Did the Jedi need a pillow?"

"Just help me get him off of me," CC-2224 groaned.

The two medics lifted the Jedi onto a stretcher and carried him out of the hallway. The remaining two clones helped the 'pillow' to his feet.

"Can we just forget this happened?" CC-2224 asked.

The squad members exchanged a glance and then smirked. "No."

It only took half a day for word to spread around Kamino that CC-2224 had been a Jedi's 'pillow'. Another half day and everyone ceased calling him by his number, and starting calling him Pillow.

Someone (he suspected it was CC-2078) had even leaked the nickname to the very young trainees. He was not very happy about the situation. The fact that he was known as 'Pillow' was one of the drives that got him to get an actual name, not a number (or horrible nickname).

It literally took him going on to the holonet and finding a name that meant 'pillow' in order to change it. Then it took another week to convince everyone in the base that was what Cody meant. Eventually they believed him and some even started to take on actual names as well.

But at times, his fellow troops would teasingly call him 'Pillow', much to Cody's annoyance. It only made it worse when many troopers would use him as a pillow at random points during training. Cody knew that when they reached the actual lines, it would continue, but he, like a lot of his brothers, was eager to get out in the field.

Yay! Cody was used as a Pillow! Okay, NOW we explain.

One day one of my other friends/co-writers (HaloEssence111) was typing in random names and meanings. So turns out that the name Cody can mean PILLOW. And Padawan and I just sort of... well went a little crazy with the idea.

A little crazy? We went insane! Just wait till you see the rest of the story (which is already done).

Very true. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it. Leave a review or PM your thoughts. More will be coming soon (and may I point out that the entire story is already finished- so no worry that it get's discontinued. YAY!)
