Music nuts
Chuchi hummed a gentle tune as she walked down the senate halls. A shock trooper watches her pass by and follows her out of curiosity. She passes another one and he follows too. After passing the tenth trooper, she stops humming, only to get a disappointed chorus, "Why'd you stop?" "I liked it, keep going." "It was just getting good." "What was I doing?" she snickers without looking at them. One looks at the others, "Let's get back to work." they sadly scatter. She shakes her head and turns around, "It's okay, troopers. I do the same thing sometimes."
one turns around, "Really?... ma'am."
she smiles, "I can get you some music if you'd like."
they all stop and look at her with surprise under their helmets. One smiles and yanks his helmet off, "Really?"
she nods, "Meet me in my room in an hour. You can pick the music."
they all yank off their helmet and smile, "Really?" "We get to pick?" "I can't wait!" she smiles wider as they all leave in a giddy hurry.
An hour later... She sat at her desk bringing up a list of music when the first knock came to her door. She looks up, "Come in." about twelve clones pile in and stand at attention in the widest part of the room. She smiles at them, "Okay. Sit and I'll play some music. If you like it, raise your hand. The ones with the most, gets on the blue play list, the red play list is for the still like, but not everyone wants to hear it, songs." she brings up the two and states, "None of these are inappropriate, or have cuss words in them. So even if you're caught, it won't always get shut off." she plays the first one and nine hands shoot up. She smiles and proceeds.
After the last clone left, she sighs in relief, "Done. Finally. That took longer than I expected." she gets up and makes some tea. As she's about to take a sip, a knock was heard. She puts the cup down and walks over. She opens it to see Commander Fox standing there, "Commander Fox."
"Senator Chuchi. Why did twelve of my men exit your room?" he looks in, "Was something wrong?"
"No. I invited them."
he tilts his head, "Invited?"
"Yes. Apparently my humming was so good, they wanted the full song."
his head stayed tilted, "Song?"
"I've seen how bored your troops can get. I figured giving them a play list of sorts would keep them from following me down the halls every time I hummed."
he nods, still slightly confused, "Hummed?" she hums a little to show him. He nods, "I see." he thinks for a moment, "Could I have a song?"
she leads him to the computer, "Just listen and see what you like."
"Yes, ma'am." he sits and clicks through each song. After a while he kicks off his shoes, feeling relaxed. Minutes later he notices that she's dancing/swaying to each one with tea in her hands. He gets up and takes the tea from her hands, only to end up dancing with her, somewhat confused on how to stop. After the song ends, he asks, "Can I just have that one?"
she smiles, "Okay."
he leaves her room with a respectful bow and heads back to his other job at the prison. He sits down at his desk and pulls out his paperwork. As he works, he plays the song and smiles. Then something occurs to him. With a sudden face palm he exclaims, "I forgot my shoes!" he spent an hour trying to figure out how he didn't notice.
