Ok so this is my first song fic and it may or may not lead into a real story I'll leave it as incomplete just in case the song is 'as she's walking away' by the 'zac brown band' I don't own the song or star wars.
We never spoke a word but every thought she had I heard from across the room,
Cody watched the young Mirialan standing dutifully next to her master. She had her lovely hands folded neatly in front of her and was watching politely as her master spoke to General Kenobi.
God she's gorgeous. He thought.
We was standing face to face, I couldn't find the words to say,
Give me one more move,
"What do you think commander?" General Kenobi asked him. Cody realized that he had just tuned out for the entire conversation, but he couldn't help it.
"Um your strategy seems solid sir." Cody said, it had been the first thing that came to his mind. The General seemed to take that as a good answer because he turned back to his conversation with General Unduli. Cody tried to pay attention but all he could think about was the girl standing next to the generals listening so politely.
O god Cody what's wrong with you? He asked himself.
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame;
Bariss office noticed the clone commander staring at her. She shifted uncomfortably.
"We will be exiting hyperspace soon perhaps you should get some rest." she heard her master say. She nodded politely, bowed to the 2 Jedi and left the room.
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walking away,
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell what my mouth what it should say,
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day,
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walking away.
Cody watched as the beautiful young women left. Heck he didn't even remember her name but all he wanted was to talk to her.
"Sir I'm going to ensure the troopers are ready in case we encounter hostility upon exiting hyperspace," he said quickly. Excusing himself from the generals' conversation before slipping out of the room. He followed the padawan down the hall.
Wise man next to me did say about the one that got away,
Son, I missed my chance,
Cody followed the young women to the hanger deck were he spotted her speaking to several of the clone troopers. He pondered for a moment whether or not he should talk to her. Cody had just decided ageist it when Commander Gree interrupted his thoughts.
"Hay Cody what's up?" Gree asked. Cody didn't answer still watching the young Jedi out of the corner of his eye.
"O. I see." Gree said knowingly. "Her names Bariss Offie nice girl you awt to talk to her." Cody watched as Gree walked off towards the bridge probably on his way to see Kenobi and Unduli.
"I met a girl like her wile on leave on Corascant didn't act though," Gree informed him over his shoulder. "don't make the same mistake Cody."
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase,
Ask her to dance, go on, son,
Cody looked at the young women talking and laughing with the men. He mustered his courage and walked over.
His brothers stood at attention when they saw him but he quickly set them at ease. Soon he was a part of the conversation laughing next to the beautiful young padawan as they exited hyperspace.
You might fall down on your face,
Roll the dice and have some faith;
The mission was over. The apparent separatist forces in the Degama system had turned out to be nothing more than a rumor. The solders and Jedi were now getting a 2-week leave on Corascant, which was a very rare and unexpected pleasantry. Cody was glad that he had been assigned to the mission even if it was a waste of time. After all he'd met Bariss hadn't he?
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walking away,
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell what your mouth what it should say,
They had just docked on Coruscant. Bariss was planning to spend her time here studying with the healers and her fellow padawans. She wasn't about to let this important learning opportunity go to waste. Then she saw Commander Cody approaching. He was wearing his fatigues due to the fact it was ageists regulation for clone troopers to were armor or carry blasters while on leave.
"Bariss may I speak with you?" he asked. Bariss blinked. Surprised by his lack of formality.
"Of coarse commander." she replied. Is something wrong? She thought.
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day,
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walking away.
"Is there something wrong Commander?" Bariss asked him. Cody had pulled the padawan into one of the side hallways of the hanger deck between the clone barracks and the Jedi temple. He shifted his wait uncomfortably
"I'm not shore how to do this…" he said uncertainly. Bariss looked at him confused.
What is he… her thought was cut of as Cody pulled her into a passionate kiss.
You might fall down on your face,
Roll the dice and have some faith;
Bariss was utterly shocked she felt Cody twist his moth into hers. His arms began to snake around her waist and he pulled her closer. Bariss felt his tong begin to press between her lips into her mouth. She pulled away and stared at him for a moment in shook. Then she turned and ran. Cody just stared after her. He scowled.
Cody you idiot! He mentally screamed at himself, as if she would have ever been interested in you. Stupid clone!
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walking away,
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell what your mouth what it should say,
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day,
Don't be fallin', fallin' in, fallin' in love as she's walking away.
Well what do you think? I'd really appreciate review singed or anonymous.
