This is a work of fanfiction, I do not own Star Wars, and It takes place during the Clone Wars.

"So, you ready for your first real mission?" Master said. It had only been a couple days since I had become his padawan, which hopefully meant that the council wouldn't give us too hard of a mission.

"Let's see what it is first." I replied, waiting for the council to call us in.

It was barely a minute before they did. "Master Ferre and Padawan Vani, enter, you may." Yoda called out. For a little green being, he sure had a loud voice.

We hurried into the room, and stood in the center of the council.

"We have received notice that the Separatists have created a blockade around the Republic planet of Talravin. We have proof that Count Dooku could be planning an attack on the capital city in the next week. We need you to bring a couple squads of troops to bring aid to the people of Talravin, as well as protect the royal family." Master Windu said.

Master nodded. "How many people should I have with the royal family?" He asked.

"Probably 3 or 4 at one time. Otherwise it might seem like we were invading on their personal life." Master Kenobi's holograph said, stroking his beard.

"Then it is settled. You will go to Talravin with food, and help build walls, as well as protect the royalty." Master Windu said, as if there was any debate about it at all.

We bowed, then left.

"I would suggest you get packed before dinner." Master said once we were down the hall. "We leave at 2100."

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, I'm going to pack all ten things I have. That will take long time." I said.

Master laughed at my sarcasm. "Just for that, you get to guard the royal family for the time we're there."

"Whatever." I replied. "I honestly don't care."

Master laughed. "Okay." He said, raising his hands in surrender.

I watched as Cecily walked down the hall. I don't think she actually realizes how funny she is. Shaking my head, I switched to the mission. Meeting up with Captain Kyle was probably the best idea. I had to sort out the teams of people. Which could take a while.

I walked down the hall until I got to the landing bay. The Senate really should've put the barracks closer to the Temple. Sighing, I climbed in a speeder and drove to the barracks.

Upon arriving, I headed straight to the training room. Which the clones basically never leave.

"Captain!' I called out.

Kyle came out of a group around the shooting range. "Yes sir."

"We have a mission." I said. "Follow me."

I led him to the war room and set up the holo-table with a picture of Talravin. "The Council has suspicion that Count Dooku will be leading an attack on Talravin and its royal family within a week. We are going to go and help protect the royals and build walls and blockades." I said. "We need two clones to help Cecily protect the royals, and will take the rest to help protect the towns."

"Okay, so shouldn't we have the commander here to help? It is her first mission." Captain Kyle said.

"That is a good point." I said. I lifted up my comlink. "Cecily, we need you in the war room."

Her voice came back all staticed. "And how exactly am I supposed to get there? I'm not exactly allowed to drive yet."

I frowned. She was right. I couldn't send Captain Kyle to get her, I needed him here. Thinking about it a little longer, I finally came up with an answer.

"Okay, Cecily, I'm sending Fish to get you." I said. Then I called Fish before she could complain. "Fish, I need you to go get Cecily from the Temple. And make sure she gets to the war room safely."

"Okay sir." He said, his sarcasm evident. I'm pretty sure there are no two people in the world who hate each other as much as they do. It's absolutely hilarious. Smirking, I sat back and waited for them to get here.

Get the commander. Great. The general knows that this past week has been us arguing with each other, and now he sends me to go and pick her up. This day couldn't get any worse.

So, I drove over to the Jedi Temple where the commander was waiting outside. She scowled as I pulled up.

"I hope you realize that this was in no way my idea." She said.

"Of course not. Even you aren't idiotic enough to purposefully make sure we talk to each other." I snarled.

"That's no way to speak to your superior." Commander Vani said.

I rolled my eyes. "Honestly Commander, you're no soldier, so stop pretending to be one." I said. She was beginning to get really annoying.

"You're right, I'm not a soldier. I'm a strategist." She practically spat out. "And a good strategy for you would be to stop insulting me!"

Luckily we managed to get to the barracks before the fight could continue. She hopped out of the speeder, and turned to me.

"You can leave me alone now." She turned around and started flouncing away.

"Actually verd'ika, I'm under orders to get you to the war room safely." I said.

She spun around. "If you must." Then she glared at me. "And I am not a little soldier."

I sighed and followed after her.

It wasn't long before we got to the war room. The Commander, with all of her flair, burst into the war room with a murderous expression on her face. I followed in behind.

"Here you go sir, the verd'ika, safe and sound." I said.

The commander glared at me again. "I told you, I am not a little soldier." She snapped.

The general seemed quite amused. "Well, since you two have proven to get along very well, I think that you'll be joining the commander with protecting the royal family." He said. "And no arguing. You are dismissed trooper."

"This is your fault." Commander Vani mumbled.

I smirked and headed out to the training room.

"Since we only need one more person for the guard, I suggest you go eat some dinner then finish packing." I said to Cecily. "It'd about 2000 right now, so you have a standard hour before we have to leave."

Cecily nodded, still looking slightly murderous, and left the room.

"Okay sir, who should we send with them on the guard?" Kyle asked.

I thought about it. "Maybe Carrot, in case, you know, they try to kill each other." I said.

"Maybe, but he is our best field medic. We might need him in case were attacked by the Seppies." Kyle said.

I nodded. "That's probably a better idea." Then I thought of something else. "Are any of your men more of peace keepers than any others?"

"Well, Hill and Rock seem to get in less fights than the rest of them do." Kyle said thoughtfully.

"Are either of them good friends with Fish?" I asked. I knew that Cecily absolutely did not trust the clones, and for a good reason too. It didn't make any sense for her to friends with any of them.

"Hill seems to be on better relations with Fish than Rock is." Kyle replied.

"Okay, so we'll send Hill then. I don't want any extra fights breaking out." I said. "Now, as I told Cecily, It is almost time to go, so you should probably go organize your troops. I will send the docking bay number as soon as I find out."

Captain Kyle nodded, then saluted as he turned out the door. I nodded back and went to working on finding out which cruiser we were taking.

Talravin- a Republic planet found on Wookiepedia

Verd'ika- little soldier, private (rank)
