Royce and I finally walk out of the room after taking the test. By the time we got done lunch had already past and our stomachs are griping for food. Since we can't get anything to eat, we walk to our bunks and just lay there to sleep off our hunger.

I feel some one shaking me by the shoulder. I open one eye lazily and smirk up at Cody.

"Is this gonna be a regular thing for you?" I ask stretching.

"It's a possibility." Cody says shrugging his shoulders.

"So, where's Rexie?"

"Training some rookies."

"I bet he's having fun." I laugh at the image in my head and feel pity for the rookies as they have Rex as a teacher. But not as much as the people that have Bric for a teacher, which is about everyone.

"Could be." Cody snickers. "So what did you get on your test today?"

"Don't know. I won't be getting my grade until some time this afternoon."

"It is afternoon."

"Ok, I'll be getting it some time soon. That any better?"

Cody rolls his eyes and sits next to me on my bunk. "You know after graduation you'll have to call commander or sir, right?"

"Course I do, I'm just enjoying the moments I have left to call you Cody and not be serious all the time." Cody gives her a when-are-you-ever-serious look. "I have my moments!"

Cody laughs. "I'll believe it when I see it."

"Hmph. So what are we gonna be doing during our date?"

"That is a surprise."

"No fair! C'mon tell me. Pleeeeeaaaaasssse?" I put on my best puppy eyes.

"Nope and nothing you do or say will make spill."

"Pretty please?"

"No."

"Pretty please with vanilla ice cream?"

"Nu-uh."

"Pretty please with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce?" Cody crosses his arms. "Pretty please with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and whip cream?" Cody raises an eye brow at me. "Pretty please with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, whip cream, sprinkles, and whole mess of cherries on top?"

"You're having way too much fun with this."

"Yup." My stomach grumbles for food again. "And I made myself hungry."

Cody laughs at my stomachs perfect timing. "Haven't you eaten?"

"I'll be ok."

"Lilly! HELP!" I look down just in time to see some of the other cadets dog pile on Royce.

"Wanna come watch the fun or stay up here?"

"Watch the fun of course." Cody smirks. We climb down to rescue Royce.

"Step away from the blubber boy!" I hear a muffled protest from Royce.

"Aw c'mon Lilly, let us have some fun." Reggie whines. "Besides, this is tradition to do with new comers."

"Really? Then why haven't you tackled me yet?"

"Because we know you kick our butts bad."

"Guys, we're tight and all but Royce is my home boy. So unless you want your butts kicked all the to Corascant, I suggest you climb off of Royce."

"You're bluffing!" Fri says from some where in the pile.

"Do you really wanna be the test dummy for that?" Fri doesn't answer. "Thought so. So what's it gonna boys?" When no one makes a move of getting up, I shrug my shoulders. "Fine by me." I start flinging my fellow cadets left and right, poor Cody had to dodge raining cadets for two destructive minutes. "Hey blubber boy." I help Royce up.

"Don't call me that. And for your information most of this is muscle, not fat."

"Then why do your arms feel squishy?"

"Hungry?"

"Yup. How did you know?"

"You're always mean when you're hungry."

"Oh. You ok over there Cody?"

"Yeah. Royce, has she always been violent?" Cody asks.

"For as long as I can remember." Royce says.

"Hello. Standing right here." I said making my presence known. For the next few hours we pretty much hung out. But Royce and I felt a little edgy about if we passed the test or not.

We see general Tii walk over to us as she looks down at a holo mec screen. "Ah, Lilly and Royce just the two I wanted to see." General Tii says. "I'm happy to tell you that you have passed the test and going on to the field exam with your squads." Royce and I cheer in relief and excitement of the news. "I thought I would let you know." General Tii chuckles.

"Thanks general." Royce says smiling like a chester cat.

"You are welcome cadet, now I must go. Best of luck for the both of you." We salute to her and then go back to what we were doing.

"What do most cadets do after the exams to celebrate?" I ask Rex.

"Well." Rex scratches the back of his head. "It really depends on them, but most just sleep for the rest of the day before they're shipped out to a base in the morning."

"Huh."

"Hey guys!" Fri says waving to us. "How did the test go?"

"We passed."

"Awesome! We get to stay in the same squad!" Fri engulfs me and Royce in a hug.

"Down boy, down." I laugh.

"Sorry, but if you two didn't pass who would we have to torture us?"

"If you want torture, then stay here and be in Brics classes all day." Royce points out.

The curfew warning bell sounds off.

"We better get going, before you know who catches us out of our bunks." I said scoffing. We say our good nights to Rex and Cody, then walk to our bunks to rest for the exam tomorrow.

Next morning

Squads are waiting to hear their name called to begin their exam, one by one each of them goes to the rising platform. I'm shaking from standing still for so long and my nerves are about to be shot with all the anticipation.

"Turbo squad." Royce's squad is called up to the platform. I give him a thumbs up as they pass us. Thirty minutes roll by and we're the last squad waiting for the exam. "Mec squad."

We grab our weapons and walk to the platform, as we rise to the exam field we check our weapons and amoe. I look around at my squad mates: Fri, Bumble, Pat, and Trasher. Bumble is frantically searching for something on his belt.

"Forget something?" I ask as I hold out his climbing cable.

"You're a life saver Lilly." Bumble says as he straps the cable to his belt.

"Just try not to forget anything when we get to our first battle."

We come in view of the field and hurry through the make shift battle field.

Time skip

We made it through the field and now we stand there waiting to see if we passed or not.

Review please.
