Chapter 1: The Girl
Boba's POV
The clone youth squad and I have docked onto the Republic star cruiser. This is my one chance to kill Mace Windu, the Jedi that killed my father. We made our way down the hall. Everyone else was admiring the clone troopers we passed. I just kept my head down. I didn't want to see the face of my father. Two Jedi knights were waiting for us.
"Generals." Our commander stepped aside and the Jedi stepped forward.
"Welcome, cadets. I am Mace Windu and this is…"
"Anakin Skywalker. Today you will learn how to operate a working star cruiser." A clone captain came in.
"Sirs, General Kenobi wants you to make contact with him immediately."
"Another time, then." He and Mace left. I'm finally going to get my revenge on Windu.
"Come on, cadets." Our commanders lead us to a room that had tables with metal parts. Another clone captain was standing in the middle of the room.
"Welcome, cadets. First, we will be testing your weapon building skills. During a boarding attack, you'll need to assemble your weapons quickly. Two cadets at each table." We split into groups of two. I got partnered with a cadet named Jacks. "You will find at each table a timer. You will hit it, assemble your weapon, and hit it again. You will report your time and weapon to…"
"Me." I turned around and was in awe of my sights. I saw that most beautiful Togruta I've ever laid eyes on. My heart stopped. She looked around my age, which was sixteen. She walked over to the clone.
"Commander Tano, you will be joining us today?"
"Yes, I will. My master asked me to fill in for him."
"It's an honor, sir."
"Continue with your lesson, captain." He turned his attention back to us.
"As I was saying, when you are finished, you will show them to Commander Tano. Are there any questions?"
"Sir, what weapons are we making?"
"Each of you will be making your own weapon. This will test your ability to create a different kind of weapon. Any other questions?" No one spoke. "Good. Begin."
We all started on our weapons. I decided to build a blaster that my father taught me how to make. He named it after me. I quickly assembled it. I wanted to be the first one done. I wanted to get a closer look at Commander Tano. I finished the blaster in a minute. I hit the timer and presented it to her.
"Very impressive, cadet. Great craftsmanship. Why don't we test it out? Captain?"
"As you wish, sir." She led me to the shooting range.
"What's your name, cadet?"
"5071…"
"No, your name."
"Oh. My name's Lucky."
"Lucky, huh? Well, Lucky, my name's Ahsoka. Let's see how well you can shoot a blaster." "Ahsoka." Such a beautiful name. My hands were shaky as I tried to shoot. I missed the target.
"Sorry. I'm just a little nervous."
"That's okay. Try to line it up to the target like this." She put her arms around me, showing me how to hold the blaster. I froze. Having her this close to me made me really nervous. The feeling of her breath on my neck sent shivers down my spine. "You okay, Lucky."
"Yeah. I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"Nothing."
"You need to keep your head in the present. Every soldier needs to stay focused."
"Yes, sir."
"Try it now." I pulled the trigger and hit the target. "There you go. There's never a reason to be nervous."
"Yes, sir." Another cadet came in.
"Sir, I've completed my weapon."
"Let's have a look." He handed her his blaster. "Very creative. Looks like a first class weapon. Test it out."
He aimed his gun and hit the target. "A direct hit. Nice job."
"Thank you, sir." More cadets came in, all finished with their weapons. Boba and the other cadet stood against a wall and waited for everyone to be finished.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Lucky. What's yours?"
"Goldy. Long story why. So, what you think of Commander Tano?"
"She's alright. I like her."
"I think she's hot."
"What?"
"You can't tell me you don't find her attractive."
"Yeah, she's attractive, but…"
"No buts about it. If I wasn't a clone trooper and she wasn't a Jedi, I would totally ask her out."
"What makes you think she would go out with someone like you?"
"She would have to be a fool not to want me."
"She'd be one smart fool." He turned to me.
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"It means what it means."
"Are you insulting me?"
"And what if I am?"
"Then you and I are going to have a problem. Do you still feel Lucky?"
"Depends. Do you still feel like a golden boy?"
"More than ever. And when Commander Tano is my girl, I'll be even better." That sent me over the edge. I literally jumped on him and started senselessly punching him. The other cadets gathered around us and watched. Ahsoka broke through the crowd and broke us apart.
"That's enough, cadets! Who started this fight?"
"Lucky started it."
"No I didn't!"
"Did you throw the first punch?"
"Yes sir." I am in so much trouble.
"Come with me." She headed out the door. I followed her. I looked back and saw Goldy with a smirk on his face. As we walked down the hall in silence, we ran into Anakin.
"Hey there, Snips."
"Hi, Master."
"I see you already have a trouble maker."
"Yeah. Started a fight with another cadet."
"You want me to take him off your hands?"
"No, I can handle him. You could finish with the other cadets for me. I won't be back for a while." She answered that a little too quickly.
"Something wrong with me dealing with him?"
"No offense, Master, but your style of discipline is a bit radical."
"I'm not that bad, Ahsoka."
"You almost Force choked a six year old to death because she wouldn't sit down that day you decided to take over Master Yoda's class when he was on a mission." They went back and forth like this for a while. I felt like I was around an arguing married couple and I was their child. I decided to sneak away while they were too busy arguing. I remembered the main reason I was here: to kill Mace Windu. I went to find his quarter. I ran into a couple of clone troopers.
"Hey kid, what are you doing out here?"
"Sorry, sir. I've been stationed at General Windu's quarters. There's no problem."
"Except one: you're lying. Admit it: you're lost."
"Alright, cut the kid a break. General Windu's quarters are that way."
"Thank you, sir." I headed down the hall. I sighed in relief. I thought my cover was blown. I finally reached Windu's quarters. I took the pad lock I had out of my pocket and set it on the wall. I activated it and left. When Windu walks into his room, he'll be dead. On my way around the corner, I ran into him.
"Eyes on where you're headed, cadet."
"Yes sir. Sorry sir." When I got back to Anakin and Ahsoka, they were still arguing. I figured they didn't notice I was gone. I stood right where I was before.
"Fine, just deal with your troublemaker." He walked away. He seemed really mad.
"Come on, cadet." I followed her.
