Hello readers. I just wanted to remind and congratulate the women who might read this fic for the International Women's Day, and that we are truly amazing and wonderful. And that maybe I'll post a new chapter every Monday and Wednesday, if possible (I can't promise anything). Good reading.
Has dawned on Kamino. Onika is the first one to wake up. She feels a little bit lonely. She straightened her hair in a simple braid, as she always did.
"Ah, hello, my loneliness. It's just you and me while they're sleeping.", Onika babbled. "I don't even know what Anakin is doing while I'm here, away from my aunt's house.". She lies down again. "Looks funny to me, being a 'warrior' although my nation says 'no' about participating on a war zone, fighting for the peace.". She laughs. "The Duchess will freak out."
She hears footsteps behind her.
"Err... excuse me, my lady.", someone, with a male voice said.
She gets up quickly. "Pardon, sir." She giggles. "I usually talk to myself, sometimes."
"Oh, it's okay."
"So, who are you? And what you do here?", she asks.
The elder man sits besides her. "I'm 99. I'm a maintenance clone. Not like those ones. Because I... I didn't have their chance."
"It's so sad. I'm sorry."
"And.. What do you do here?", 99 asks.
"Oh... well, I'm just here because a Jedi Knight just left me. To train alongside his future troopers. It's being nice to stay here. It's... this place is comfortable."
"It's so good you think like that."
Many minutes later...
Onika contacted Anakin from her comlink.
"Hello there... It's being nicer than you told me. I've made some new friends. Where are you?", Onika said in a cheerful tone.
"Niki, Niki... It's so good to hear you. I just want to say that if I could finish my mission here on Christophsis, I'll bring you back... to meet some new people. Bye. Oh, by the way, you'll be our Commander. See you later.", Anakin said, finishing the transmission.
"Oh, I thought he would be here again in the next week.", She were outside. "And it's raining. Great! I'm gonna catch a flu if I put my feet out of here now."
Meanwhile, she is walking through the facility and admiring it for the 'last' time before go away in the next hours.
It was so good. Looks like I got a new family. Onika talks with her inner voice. It's just the first step.
Another minutes later...
"Well, boys. I'm here... because I'll be away form here. General Skywalker will bring me to another place. But I hope see you soon.", Onika said.
Everybody hugged her. Of course she would see them again, but in an undefined moment forward.
"I was good stay with everyone of you.", Onika waved. "Bye Bye."
