Chapter 2: Flashbacks and Negotiations

"Woah!" I gasp as the ship lurches forward suddenly, clutching the arms of the chair. The Captain Rex imposter glances toward me briefly. "You mean to tell me you've never been in a ship before?" Rex asks steering steadily as he taps in the coordinates on some control panel. I roll my eyes at the comment. "Yeah, well I've been on the set of a ship before with my boyfriend but-" I begin but stop, thinking.

"First time flier?" The Captain finishes and I give a snort in response. "Let's just say these things aren't supposed to fly." I say feeling exasperated as I press the palms of my hands into my throbbing eyes, my eye contacts are giving me a headache but I wasn't exactly prepared for this sort of thing and didn't pack my glasses. "Your planet-" The Captain begins, staring steadily ahead.

"It was called Earsh?" He asks and I look up through squinted eyes. "Earth. It's called Earth. But you know that already, don't you?" I ask staring him down until he looks at me briefly before returning his attention to the control panel just as a red light begins to blink.

I stand up and walk over, gun drawn. "What's that?" I ask feeling myself begin to worry. "It's a transmittion-They're calling for me." Rex adds after my blank look and I curse under my breath. "I can't do this." I sigh feeling defeated. "Agh! I just can't do this anymore!" I exclaim and set the gun on the controll panel, out of Rex's reach, removing the knife from my pocket.

I start towards the Captain and I almost miss it when he recoils slightly. "Dude just chill, I'm letting you go!" I groan as I slip the knife under the straps that bind his legs, then the one across his shoulders, and I keep going until I uncuff him from the steering mechanism and I walk back to my seat, tossing the key to the side and grab the gun before sitting back down.

By this time the Captain has stood up but makes no move after me, probably thinking it's a trap-Ugh just listen to me! 'It's a trap!' Now I'm quoting Star Wars! "Well?" I ask holding out the fake gun to him. I won't hand over the knife but the geek can have his precious 'blaster' back. "Just take it before I change my mind." I say tiredly and roll my eyes when he takes the gun and aims it at me.

"Put your hands where I can see them." Rex says in his best commander voice. I sigh exageratedly and throw up my hands. "Happy?" I ask irritatedly, letting them fall back down with a flop. "Stand up and put you hands out infront of you." Captain Rex repeats, picking the handcuffs back up from the floor, starting towards me and that's where I draw the line, jumping to my feet and backing away, knife redrawn in defense.

"I don't think so, Captain. I may have let you go but that doesn't mean I've surrendered." I say, pointing the blade at him but the Captain doesn't even flinch. "Then what does it mean? And no games." he says strictly and I can't help but give a humorless laugh in response.

"No games huh? Coming from some geek who takes playing dress up a little bit too far? That's rich! Well, if you insist I'll just come out with it." I say swiping the blade to hold it out infront of me with the blade facing the inside of my wrist-army style. "I do surrender, but I still want you to prove to me that all of this is real. I just don't wan't to have to keep pointing that stupid thing at you like it's a real gun! Now, let's try this again," I say, taking a breath before looking the Captain in the eye, a slightly difficult task since I'm a little on the short side.

"I'll give you the same deal as before: You prove to me that this is real," I say spining the knife back so that the tip points at the Captain. "-and I'll surrender or whatever. And if it's not, you take me home. Deal?" I ask finally, pointing the blade at myself this time as I wait for a response.

The Captain looks down, his brow furrowed before sighing. "Alright, but if you try to escape or threaten my and my men again, your going back in chains." Rex threatens in that amazing voice and I smirk in response. Then the transmitter thingy beeps again. This time Rex answers and breifly informs his men of our plan, conveniently leaving out the fact that I'd held him hostage for about 5 minutes.

"Well, they sounded excited." I huff after Rex ends the call. Many of his men had objected against the side trip and had said quite a few things that I didn't like very much.

"I on the other hand can't wait to go sight-seeing your little planet." I say sarcastically and Rex throws me a look. "I don't think so. We're only stopping long enough to check your sanity-and no matter what you will stay by my side while we're on Kamino." He says gruffly, seating himself at the driver's seat and I sit back down in my own chair. If he wasn't so handsome I'd probably have argued but I decide not to. "Great. and what's on Kamino, may I ask?" I asks as I strap myself in.

The Captain hesitates, concentrating on setting the controls before answering. "My home." He says simply and the 'ship' suddenly lurches forward with a jolt. I give a little gasp, still not used to flying and I begin to think about home. My home. Which also makes me think about the day's events...

...^^^...^^^^...
ERIS:

"Hey!" I called to the girl in the white JDRF shirt who's name is Loresha I think. "Yeah, Eris?" She asks coming over. "Where are our Clone Troopers and Darth Vader?" I demand, Darth Vader being my boyfriend, Todd, who talked me into this in the first place and I'm begining to panic. "I don't know!" Loresha replies. "They were supposed to be here an hour ago!" She says and I groan.

"I can't believe this! There is NO WAY I'm gonna walk around out here in *this*-" I say gesturing to the Ahsoka Tano getup I'm wearing, which is a little uncomfortable and in the Texas heat, is making me sweat underneath the stiff head peice. "-without the other guys! I'm gonna go change before one of my friends sees me-"

"Wait!" Loresha calls and points behind me. "There are the Clones!"...

...

After a while the girl-Eris gets a faraway look in her eyes and Rex concentrates on flying. But then his mind begins to wander and he starts to think about the day.

...^^^^...^^^^^...

REX:

After touching down on the strange planet using some fighters while their ship remained in space, Rex knew there was something wrong. Everything looked strange and unfamiliar. People stared at them as though they were the strange ones and Rex got the feeling that they shouldn't be there.

Then he spotted her.

"General Kenobi, I've found Commander Tano." He called in on his comlink. "Excellent, good work Captain." Kenobi said in that haughty tone of his. "Once you're back on the ship you can return the Jedi Temple. Anakin will be pleased to hear that Ahsoka is safe again." Kenobi droned and it took much self restraint to keep Rex from interrupting. "I don't know sir-This planet is unlike anything I've ever seen." Rex said watching a strange craft roll by on wheels, a foul stench emmitting from it as it zoomed noisily by.

"Well, we have your coordinates. Just get Padawan Tano and if you see anything suspicious. Let me know."

"Yes, Sir." Rex said ending the call and gestured to his men to follow him as he made his way to what looked like Ahsoka Tano...

...^^^^...^^^^...

ERIS:

I turn around to see a big group of them headed my way. "Oh, there you are!" I say walking over to them briskly. "Where have you been? And where's Todd? Oh, nevermind just get out there already! The Walk's about to start!" I say but they make no move other than to look at eachother in confusion I think-I can't really tell because of their helmets.

"Uh, Commander? Where-What exactly is this?" The lead one asks. "Ugh!" I groan, slapping a hand to my head. "What they didn't brief you?" I sigh. "Alright, Um-Captain Rex right? This is a Walk for JDRF-"

"Uh JDRF, Sir?"

"Yes, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. You guys are here to advertise and let people take pictures with you, got it?"

"Ah-"

"Good. Now get out there Soldier!" I say giving him a slight push and I walk a ways away so that I could remove my cellphone from the hidden pocket in my skirt. I dial in my boyfriends' number...

...^^^^^...^^^^^^...

REX:

"Uh, Rex-" Fives asked as they all watched Commander Tano walk away. "I don't think that's Commander Tano."

"Yeah, She doesn't even have lightsabers." Jesse added and all the men agreed. "Let me call General Kenobi." Captain Rex said and he did. "Take her in for questioning. It must be an imposter. Probably an agent of Count Dooku." Was Kenobi's reply but something didn't sit right with Captain Rex.

"-But, Sir. She looks almost exactly like Commander Tano. I don't think even a sith could alter their appearance like that. And she's missing her lightsabers."

"Hm, that is odd. Then you very well maybe dealing with a witch. Dooku is known to deal with them."

"Should I apprehend her Sir?"

"Yes, but be careful. You must lure her to one of your fighters and imprison her on the ship. Then take her to the jedi Temple for questioning. But be careful-Witches are very dangerous and this one very well may know the whereabouts of Ahsoka."

"Yes, Sir."...

...^^^^^^...^^^^^...

Something jolts Rex out his head and he looks to the disturbance. It's Eris. She rustles around in Commander Tano's outfit, looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Rex asks, growing suspicious immediately. He still doesn't trust her but he also doesn't want to anger her by trying restrain her. There's just something so normal about her that makes him believe her story-that she's not a witch and that she really doesn't know where Ahsoka is. But then again, why else would she be wearing Ahsoka's clothes. And why would she look exactly like her and be on a Planet that was supposed to be dead for thousands of years?

Things just don't seem to add up with her.

The girl looks up, her almost unnaturally blue eyes meeting his golden-brown ones. "My Ipod is missing." She says looking down again. Rex raises an eye brow and thinks back to when his men had searched her and found a strange device-where they found it they didn't exactly specify.

"What's an Ipod?" He asks honestly and the girl sighes, giving up on her search. "It-plays music. You wouldn't have it would you?" She asks looking at him and Rex is astonished at how similar and yet how different she is to Commander Tano.

Aside from her outfit, Eris's facial features are very alike Ahsoka's-from the full lips and button nose, to the tan complecton, although a bit lighter and less, well, orange, and make up is done as though Ahsoka painted it herself. But there's something that makes her stand out.

Not just because of her dark, almost black, brown hair that falls down at different lengths down the small of her back, almost to her waist-but because of her demeanor. The way she holds herself, so loose and yet alert. Everything is at odds with her. Even the way she looks at him. Like she's as uncertain about what to make of him as he is of her.

"I do. But I don't think-"

"It's alright Captain," Eris says softly, a tone Rex hasn't heard from her before and she looks at him for a moment. "I think I vetter let you hold onto it until we get all this sorted out."

Captain Rex doesn't reply, mainly because he doesn't know, but clears his throat before speaking again. "You might wanna brace yourself." He warns hearing his own tone grow a little softer, flipping a few switches as they reach a familiar point. "Why?" Eris asks sitting up in her seat.

"We're jumping to light speed." He answers and hears her sigh-something she does often as though she doesn't believe a word he says. "Again?" She asks with an attitude worthy of Commander Tano. Just thinking about his missing Commander makes Rex feel even more confused and frustrated with the girl.

"Yes," He says crisply, once again becoming tense. "It's faster that way." Out of the corner of Rex's eye he sees the girl roll her eyes but at the same time her grip tightens on the arms of her chair and Rex hits lightspeed.

...

Once the ship comes to an abrupt stop, I sit back up right in my chair and fix my messed up hair. "You really know how to trick out a ride!" I breathe ignoring the WTF look Rex gives me and then I look out at the window and gasp in shock at the planet the lies before us. I slowly get out of my seat to get a closer look.

It's completely blue. As though the whole planet is nothing but a giant ocean. It looks so real I get goosebumps as we draw closer. "Kamino." I breathe touching the glass screen in awe. I can feel Captain Rex staring at me but I don't care. I just wanna see what this is all about. "Come on," Rex says heading for the door. I give him an uncertain look, narrowing my eyes. "Do you wanna really see it? Or not?"

Rex asks and I bite my lip before following. I'm not afraid that I'll be right and this is all a lie. I'm afraid that I'm wrong. I'm afraid that this is real.

Afterall, what am I going to do if it is?
