Okay, I thought of the ending to this from 'Last Kiss' by Pearl Jam. The end is suppose to be sad, and hopefully you would have been attatched to the charaters and (Not because I'm mean) cry and feel Rex's pain.

So... This story is going to be over the course of 3 years during the clone wars.


Rex started the story with, "It all started 5 years ago. At the begining of the Clone Wars."

(Goes to when Rex and Iris first meet *Starts with battle of geonosis*)

There was blood every where. Bolts were flying, lightsabers whooshing, pained cries, the clanking of battle droid feet. "Go, go, go, go!" Rex and his squad jumped down from the gunship. He and his squad had jumped into the heat of the battle, most of the men were shot down. Rex most likey would have been also, but as a red blolt came racing toward him something silver blocked the bolt.

Rex's head shot toward the silver object. It was a super battle droid, or was it was only scraps now. He turned around, a Jedi gave a small salute before running off and slicing more droids. Rex shot down a droid comming up behind the Jedi.

One of his brothers got shot, one right next to him, and blood splattered across his helmet. The pained scream echoed through his helmet. Great, another one dropped. There were only about 10 droids left when Rex felt a sharp burning pain in his leg and shoulder. He collapsed, but saw the rest of the droids go down. Someone moved him slightly making the shots hurt even more, making him groan.

"Sargent," the pain was unbearable. He groaned again, "Sh, help's on the way." Rex saw a hooded figure, from what wasn't covered in blood, through his visor. A white helmet appeared in his vison.

"You're going to be fine, nothing critical."

Rex groaned and felt a needle in his arm, filled with sedative, knocking him out.

*After Rex is knocked out* (Iris's POV)

I watched the Sargent with curiosity. Even though he was in pain and knocked out, he was mumbling something. "Your meditaiting, went well I assume."

I smiled at the Grand Master, "Master Yoda, it did, but was cut short because of this," I motioned to the battle field. The Sargent groaned again.

"Okay, he will be?" Yoda looked at the clone with the Jaig eyes on his helmets.

"Yes, he just needs some time to rest then he'll be back in battle. Not longer than a day."

"Master Mirususo, we must ask you to do something we shouldn't ask you," Windu spoke up for the first time. Master Yoda nodded to Master Windu, "We need you to assist Jedi Anakin Skywalker in his battles."

"Skywalker. I haven't heard of a Skywalker before."

"Away you were, when arrive he did," Yoda nodded toward a brown haired man entering a gunship. The blast doors closed and the ship took off toward a Republic curiser."

*Medical bay* (Third person)

Rex was in a medical bed with one of the medics patching up his wounds. Master Mirususo entered the medical bay with Skywalker. He had been informed that she would be assisting him in battles, and Obi-Wan was around to hear it. He had smiled at Anakin's reaction.

Iris had walked into the medical bay, Skywalker following. She still had her cloak on, but Rex could see the smile on her face. "Captain."

"I mean no offence, but I'm only a Sargent not a Captain, Sir." Her smile grew with his words.

"Oh, Joy! I get to be there bearer of good news! You've been promoted to Captain."

Captain Rex, sounds good, Rex thought. He was about to talk, but the medic poked a sore spot making him hiss. A man in armor decorated with yellow paint walked up to the Jedi. "You're requested on the bridge." She nodded.

"And by the way, I'm Jedi Master Iris Mirususo," Iris said directing her attention to him.

"Rex?!" Rex looked at the clone in the armor. He removed his helmet reveiling the face of his friend.

"Cody!" He jumped from the bed and pulled his brother into a hug.

Iris laughed, "I see you two know each other. I'll leave you to catch up, Captains." Rex pulled back from the hug.

"You're a Captain now?!" There was a lot of excitement in his voice. Cody nodded egerly. "I just found out I got promoted also!"

Cody started to laugh, "What're the odds that we're both promoted, on the same ship, and going to serve the Jedi who work together often." Rex gave him a look that said, What? "The General didn't tell you? I'm serving under Obi-Wan Kenobi, and you're going to be serving under Anakin Skywalker, and Iris Mirususo." Cody looked at his friend as he saw Rex's face redden, "Aw, does someone have a crush?" Cody mocked a voice.

"Shut up," Rex pushed him slightly. Rex wasn't sure what exactly he felt toward the General, but he could think about that later.

"Hey, Rex, prision break," Cody raised an eyebrow and looked at Rex. Rex started to laugh, knowing what he was talking about. The medic had left to work on some other troopers, so Cody would 'break' him out of 'prision'. They both hated Medical centers, and when ever they would sneak one another out of the area, they refurred to it as a 'Prision break'.

Rex grabbed the parts of his armor that were removed and quickly put them on. They had reached the door of the medical bay when the medic noticed the empty bed. He looked around confused as to where the pacient had gone. Rex and Cody started to snicker, and hurried their pace. They both got a strange sence of adrenaline, not the 'I'm going to die type', but the 'We're going to be in SOOOOO much trouble if we're caught'. They hurried to the mess hall before they burst out laughing. They got some looks from the other brothers, but they said nothing knowing that they were their C.O.s.

"I'm going to assume that you weren't cleared to leave the Med. center." Rex's laughs slowed to a stop as he and Cody looked up holding their stomachs from the laughter. Iris stood behind them. I wonder why she doesn't take that cloak off, Rex wondered. She tapped her foot lightly waiting for the two to answer. Rex shook him head. "That's what I thought." Rex readied himself for the scolding, but he felt a pat on his shoulder. "If you're caught, I saw nothing."

Rex realized what she was saying. She wasn't going to force him to go back to the Med. center, but if they were caught, they were on their own. He smirked and she walked away toward the bridge. "Now what should we do, Rex, old boy?" Cody seemed like he wanted to cause some trouble, judging by the mischivious glint in his eyes.

Rex walked into the mess hall and looked around. "I have an idea that will get us into SO much trouble, but it'll be the best thing we've done since we put that foam in that helmet and put it on that Kamanoin."

Cody looked at Rex not hiding the smile remembering that day.

"I'm in."
