"Ahsoka, what are those?" Anakin asked as he entered Ahsoka's room.
Ahsoka proudly held up her hands to show off the blue nails she'd just bought. "What do you think?"
Anakin glared at her. "How are you going to do the stuff you normally do?"
"The same way I always do it," Ahsoka replied, not really understanding the question.
Her master rolled his eyes. "Don't you think they'll get in the way?"
"Nope! There is absolutely no possible way in this universe that they could possibly get in the way. What's the worst that could happen?" Ahsoka asked, clearly jinxing herself.
Anakin sighed and walked out of the room, leaving Ahsoka to whatever trouble the nails would bring her.
Ahsoka happily turned back to her desk and stuck the last nail on. She went out into the hallway where there was more light to observe them and spent about five minutes just staring at her nail. She received a few confused looks from some of the clones and officers who passed by, but Ahsoka didn't seem to notice.
"Umm… Commander?" Rex asked hesitantly as he approached.
"Rex! I got these really cool fake nails. You have to see!" Ahsoka exclaimed, shoving her hand in Rex's face and accidentally poking him in the eye with her new nails.
"AAHHH!" Rex exclaimed, covering his eye with a hand.
"Oops," Ahsoka said, though she didn't seem to care that much.
"I'm OK," Rex assured her after a moment. Actually, he didn't look OK at all. His eye was watering a lot and was really red.
"Great! So, do you like them?" Ahsoka asked eagerly, shoving her hand in his face again and stabbing his other eye.
"OW!" Rex said, rubbing both his eyes furiously. When he regained himself enough to speak, he stammered, "I, uh, have somewhere to be, like, now. Bye!" And with that, Rex ran away from Ahsoka at top speed.
….
"...And then, she poked my other eye!" Rex finished. He'd run straight to Cody's room as soon as he'd gotten away from Ahsoka and told him what happened only a thousand times.
"Wow, that must be hard," Cody sympathized, handing Rex a cup of tea and an ice pack.
"Oh, you don't even know the half of it! If she were under my command, I'd put her on cleaning duty for 1 year!" Rex exclaimed, slapping the ice pack over his eyes.
Suddenly the door to the room slid open and Ahsoka charged in. She shoved her hands in Cody's face, poking both his eyes in one go.
"GAH!" Cody exclaimed.
"Don't you think they look amazing?" Ahsoka asked.
"AH, WHAT DID YOU DO?" Cody screamed.
"Come on, Cody, we need to get to that… uh… That meeting with Fives! W-we're late as it is," Rex called, dragging Cody off the floor and away from Ahsoka.
"Bye! Tell the 501st that I need to see them to show them my nails!" Ahsoka called after them.
"Err… Yeah, right!" Rex called, not slowing down.
"Thanks for the save," Cody gasped as they both collapsed in Rex's room.
"Don't mention it," Rex replied, offering Cody a fresh ice pack. Cody took it gratefully and placed it on his eyes.
"You know… We really need to make her stop somehow," Cody muttered after a moment.
"Shh, I'm mourning," Rex ordered.
Cody frowned. "What are you mourning?" he asked.
"My eyes," Res said sorrowfully.
"Oh, yeah," Cody murmured, suddenly somber. "Me too."
After a few more minutes, Rex spoke up. "We should tell General Skywalker about this. Maybe he could punish Ahsoka."
Cody was about to agree when he had a better idea. "Let's tell the Council."
"Of course!" Rex exclaimed, leaping to his feet. "Let's hurry before she sees us."
Cody nodded. "I know a secret way; follow me."
Rex followed Cody through the sewers, which smelled really bad, by the way, until they reached the vents, which they crawled through until they were just above the Jedi meeting area, or whatever they called it these days.
"How do we get down?" Rex whispered.
As an answer, the floor of the vents gave way and he fell through with an undignified scream. Cody followed suit, though he was able to land on his feet.
The Jedi immediately leaped to their feet and attacked Rex and Cody, thinking they were intruders. The two clones would be missed, but whatever, it's war. Get over it.
A/N: OK, so yeah, Rex and Cody are dead and Ahsoka is a secret Sith Lord, so basically a normal day for the 501st. Also, I'm trying fake nails and they are very hard to get the hang of, so that's where the idea for this story came from. I guess I also needed a break from my other stories that I've been writing, because it's a little stressful. Anyways, hope you enjoyed it!
