Chapter 3: off to a good start.

The doors of the room opened and inside there sat Kifanue, surrounded by several other clones as she shared her candy, and her stories. Now normally a brand new padawan wouldn't have anything to tell, other than the stuffy teachings they learned, but Kifanue was special, she was different. For one she had a close relationship with the Hutt's no one asked why, or how, but she would tell stories of how she was once little and was able to go out on a job with Jaba's bounty hunter, or how she would win in games, fix droids, and all that other good stuff, Kifanue was strange in every sense of the word.

"So how did you get all this candy?" Boil asked.

"I won them from Master Windu," she beamed proudly.

Everyone laughed and started saying how the Jedi General wasn't able to beat a girl, and lose so much candy, they also started mentioning how it's a good thing its only candy and not money or Kifanue would be rich right now.

"What's going on?" Cody's voice echoed in the large room, and everyone instantly stood up and saluted him, and their General. Some of the soldiers quickly took the lollypops and any other candy out of their mouths, or tried to hide them within their mouths.

"Sir! We were just keeping the young commander company sir!" Boil replied with a quick salute, the grape lollypop still in his hand.

Cody rolled his eyes, he would have a word with Boil about this, or at least he was until General Kenobi started laughing. Cody turned around and stared at him, not sure if he should question him, or let it go as some kind of Jedi thing.

"I see you all have been keeping my new padawan company, so i guess there isn't a need for a formal introduction is there?" he asked looking at everyone who was in the room, looking like children caught with sneaking treats before dinner. Obi Wan couldn't help but laugh, he looked over to see his Padawan, she still wore that bright smile that she always wore and he thought for just a moment, that he saw some kind of sparkle in her light purple eyes, and something about that sparkle made him worry what was going to happen next.

Kifanue skipped over to Obi Wan and looked up at him, she didn't have to look that far up, and she was tall. She looked kind of sad but probably looking happy wasn't going to help her or the others.

"I'm sorry Master Kenobi, i was just sharing my winnings with them, i didn't know it would get them in trouble, and Cody looks really upset," she said.

Cody looked over at her and sighed. "Alright men get back to work!" he ordered.

"Don't worry about Cody, he always looks upset," Obi Wan joked, patting Cody on the shoulder before he and Kifanue went to her bags.

"That's sad," she huffed, and then pulled on her bags, she didn't want anyone else touching them, she didn't like having people do things for her. She dug into her treat bag and pulled out a candy bar and another lollypop, she handed the bar to Obi wan, then ran across the room to Cody and gave him the lollypop.

"What's this?" he asked.

"At present, i thought since you look so mad you should have something sweet cause sweet things makes mad people smile," she said innocently.

Cody took the treat and smiled. "Alright kid, go, the general is waiting for you."

With that Kifanue walked back to Obi Wan and the two left to go to her new room.

"Unfortunately we only have one room for commanders, and

That one is occupied by Cody, so..."

"It's alright master, i always wanted an older brother to share a room with," she beamed.

Obi Wan looked down at her and wondered what it was about her that made her think so innocently, it was odd and not something he had to deal with. Can't wait to tell Cody he has a little sister, he thought as he shook his head.

"alright Kifanue, well, this is you new room then, i think you should wait for Cody to tell you what is his and all, but you can just drop your things off and meet me in the gym…" he paused for a moment. "You know I'll just wait for you out here and take you there."

Kifanue smiled nodded her head, and in an instant she was gone and back. "All done," she beamed.

Cody had placed the Lollypop in his belt pouch then went right back to organizing everything for takeoff. He knew that they weren't behind, but he didn't want to take the chance that they might be over something so little like spending time with the new commander. He guessed it was alright, but the girl was just so….so innocent she didn't belong on this ship, and not in a war Jedi or not. He wondered if he could give Rex a call, surly his best friend would have some helpful advice for or some kind of warning about female commanders, heck he could call up Gree to.

"What's that face for Commander?" Asked Trapper as he walked up to him, he was one of the few guys who were keeping Kifanue entertained.

"Nothing Trap, are we ready to leave?" Cody asked.

"Yeah, like any other day, been ready to go." Trapper laughed he looked at Cody and raised an eyebrow.

"You know without your helmet you do look pissed all the time," he stated.
