Bellybutton

Ahsoka has been with the 501st for only a few days now and it was the first night that they all could get some sleep. She walks into the clone barracks and picks an empty bunk. She plops down and places her hands under her head. After a minute, she fell asleep. The clones on the other hand kept staring at her bare torso with curiosity. Jessie, still new, reaches out a hand and pokes a finger into the tiny hole in her middle. Ahsoka jerks awake and smacks his hand away, "What are you doing?!"

"I just wanted to know what that was." Jessie says backing away innocently.

"It's a bellybutton! Poke your own." she answers annoyed. She flips away from him and covers her tummy with a pillow and tries going back to sleep.

Jessie pokes his own belly through the body glove, then states, "I don't have one." then pokes Kix's tummy, "He doesn't either."

Kix whispers to Jessie, "I think it's a girl thing."

Rex walks up to the two of them, "Leave Commander Tano alone. Besides, it's more likely a Jedi thing."

Ahsoka twists to look at them, "What?"

"What's a bellybutton?" Kix asks.

She sits up, "Not something you should be poking your finger into."

"Is it poisonous?" Jessie asks with a smile.

"No."

sad face, then smile, "Does it bite?"

"No." she rubs her face, "Okay, here. A bellybutton is what it sounds like."

"Does it open something?" Kix asked.

"No. okay, it's what you get when um... ask Anakin." she flips over and tries going back to sleep. The three look at each other.

Anakin looks up from his work to see the three of them standing at the entrance, "Yes?"

Kix asks, "What's a bellybutton?"
