Yes I do not own any part of Star Wars.

Chapter I
His First Impression

The fighting was intense and Captain Rex was both grateful and annoyed at his helmet at the same time. It was a good for any number of reasons however; even with the coolant systems going at full blast it didn't really keep the sweat out of his eyes when the battles got really intense. For the most part he was use to the way the sweat stung at his eyes.

The droid's retreat came over his HUD looking up he saw the supply/reinforcements

shuttle coming back 'Well maybe something good might come out of today after all' he thought to himself.

"Alright men see to the wounded and head back to base camp." With the supplies here this long day was starting to look up.

It was nice to no longer be fighting the Sep's if even for a moment Rex found himself wondering if he should oversee the new supplies/reinforcements.

Deciding against it he walked up to where he could for the most part keep an eye on what the Sep's where doing.

After looking around using his HUD to see better he took it off and clipped it to his armor and used his own eyes. Rex unlike most clones tried not to become too dependent on his HUD.

It was really most comforting to know that General Skywalker would never have a Padawan. This war was not a place one for little kids. What General Kenobi was thinking by bring one into this was well beyond Rex, that Kenobi was getting one was common knowledge among the ranks. True most of the clones could care less but the fact that Kenobi was doing something like that bugged Rex, finally he just shrugged his shoulders there was no way he was ever going to understand Kenobi or any other Jedi for that matter, at lest General Skywalker made sense to Rex that's all that really mattered in the end. After all he didn't have to answer to anyone but General Skywalker, which was perfectly fine with him.

So it was no wonder that Rex did a double take when he saw a young togruta female following the General. She couldn't be a Padawan could she?

"What the status Rex?" Skywalker asked.

"Fine for now sir, there gearing up for another assault. Who's the youngling?"

"I'm Master Skywalker's padawan. The name's Ahsoka Tano."

Rex was more confused then he had ever been before "Sir I though you said you'd never have a Padawan?"

"There's been a mix up the youngling isn't with me."

"Stop calling me that! You're stuck with me sky guy."

Rex couldn't help but laugh at that comment it would have been a lot better if his helmet had been on so Skywalker wouldn't hear him, but oh well he was sure the General would deal with him later about it.

"What did you just call me? Don't get snippy with me little one. You know I don't even think you're old enough to be a Padawan!" Skywalker retorted.

"Well maybe I'm not. But master Yoda thinks I am" was the togruta quick response.

"Well you're not with master Yoda now, so if you're ready you better start proving it. Captain Rex will show you how a little respect can go a long way."

"Hum, right" Rex smiled. "Come on youngling."

"Padawan."

This young togruta really cared about her new rank.
