Update - I know I updated this yesterday, but I'm deciding to remove this chapter and re-post it due to a glitch on FanFiction.

So. Let's see. It's New Year's Eve over here and...I decided to finally update. Finally. This is a drabble-length chapter because...I'm sobbing and distracted by Eliza Dooley singing Chandelier. Henry, how could you walk away from Eliza like that?!

Happy reading!

Situation Thirteen. Bored

"I'm bored," Ahsoka Tano grumbled from her position over the hanger bay. She didn't pay too much attention to Captain Rex, who was standing right below her and occasionally cringing every time Ahsoka swayed dangerously from the beam she was sitting on. She supposed it wasn't wise to be so high above the hanger, but again, she was bored. And needed some entertainment.

Entertainment that, it seemed, can be found in doing unusual, not-normal, somewhat dangerous things.

Like sitting on top of a very high beam.

"Really, Commander," Rex was saying, exasperated, but Ahsoka still stayed. Swinging her legs from over the edge, she yelled down, "I'm fine up here! Just give me a warning if some idiot decides to start up a ship, okay? Then I'll come down." Rex shifted his weight from foot to foot, replying, "I don't think the –"

"Master Skywalker?" Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "Doesn't matter. It'll take him a while to actually find me up here." Rex looked around the hanger, murmuring, "Still…" Ahsoka batted her hand carelessly at Rex. "Don't ruin it, Rex. I'm trying to find some excitement right now."

"Something exciting that will eventually get you into trouble?" Rex countered.

Ahsoka paused. Then, drumming her fingers against the side of the beam, decided to reply, "Sure. Why not?" Rex pretended to mull over those words and then, after a moment, he said, "I believe this is where General Kenobi would make a comment about how you're very much like your mentor."

Ahsoka stuck out her tongue. "Picked that up already?" she asked lightly. She stretched herself out on her stomach, ignoring the awkward arm-lifts that Rex made (probably an attempt to catch Ahsoka if she was to fall – which was actually quite sweet, in Ahsoka's opinion), and added, "But I like to think I was always this way, even before I became Master Skywalker's Padawan."

"If you say so," Rex replied dryly.

"Was that sarcasm?"

"Of course not."

Ahsoka smirked. "I'm still picking it up, Rexter," she called, but she didn't really mind. It was always nice to see her stiff captain break out of his shell – his chosen mold – once in a while. At that very moment, however, before Rex could reply or say anything, Anakin shouted from across the hanger, "Ahsoka, what are you doing?"

"Yikes," Ahsoka mumbled, trying to dive below the beam, only to realize if she was to do so, she'd hit the ground…painfully. So instead, she scrambled atop the beam, shouting down, "Before you say anything, you better know that I already know what I have to do!" She sucked in a breath and looking back at her master – who was staring with crossed arms, Ahsoka had a small flash of defiance spark inside her. She grinned and looking down at Rex, thought, Sure, why not – I'm bored. I need some entertainment.

"Catch me, Rexter!" Ahsoka shouted, and without another warning, she jumped down from the beam.

What came next was quick and unexpected – when Ahsoka jumped down, the captain was there to catch her – but the topple-down-to-the-ground-in-the-most-awkward-position-ever was a bit uncalled for. There was a silence between the two – and for the first few seconds, Ahsoka could only hear Rex mumbling something unintelligible.

Then, there was the sound of footsteps approaching, shortly followed by a flat, "was that really necessary? You could've just done that by yourself."

Ahsoka lifted her head to grin at her master. "Was bored," she replied, trying to sound casual. She slid off of Rex and grabbing his arm (perhaps a bit too quickly) and added, "Sorry for that – I'll see you all later!" After bobbing her head cheerfully at both her master and captain, Ahsoka spun around on her heel and strode away.

"What was that all about?" Ahsoka heard Anakin ask.

"To be honest, General, I'm…not quite sure."
