"Please Commander Stone, assign someone else to be her bodyguard, she is driving me crazy" Spicy begged.
"You've been on this mission for all of two days and you're already wanting to quit?" Stone asked.
"You don't understand, she is crazy" Spicy said.
"Well crazy or not you were assigned this task and you must see it through, you don't want to be labeled a quiter clone do you? Do you remember what happened to the last quiter?" Stone asked.
"I suppose you're right" he sighed.
He still had a little while before he had to take Senator Moonsong somewhere so he decided to take his massif out for some exercise. He went to the cage where she was being housed. As soon as she saw him she turned her back on him.
"Aw come on don't be like that, it's all Fox's fault you haven't gotten out in a couple of days, don't be mad at me be mad at him" Spicy said. She continued to ignore him.
"Ok then, I guess you don't want to go for a walk" Spicy got up to leave. She went up to the laser barrier and growled at him.
"That's what I thought" he opened the cage and put her leash on. He took her out of the building.
"It's not like Commander Fox will notice if I go on patrol as long as I'm quick" Spicy said. He put on his helmet and headed to the lower market district. It was crowded as usual but nothing seemed to be out of order. He patrolled the area keeping his eyes peeled for any sign of trouble.
Suddenly he heard a commotion in the alleyway. He went towards the noise and came upon a spice deal.
"What's going on here fellas?" Spicy said.
"None of your business meat droid" one of the men said.
"Well seeing as the sale of spice is illegal that makes it my business" Spicy said.
"Why are you even talking to that Republic dog? Let's just bake him and get on with the sale" a weequay man said.
"I'd love to see you try" Spicy set his blaster to stun. Personally he'd rather just blast them, that's two less rats on the street but regulations require it.
"Aw how cute, the little clone has his little blaster out" the first man mocked.
"What are you going to do? You weren't ordered to shoot us" the weequay man sneered. Spicy rolled his eyes at that remark and stunned them. After he took them to the detention center and put his massif up he realized he was late taking Moonsong to her dinner. He spotted her waiting outside the tower.
"There you are! I was beginning to think you weren't coming" Stella said.
"Yea, yea, I got caught up actually contributing to Coruscant" Spicy remarked.
"You know you don't have to be so rude all the time" she placed her hands on her hips.
"What are you going to do about it? Tell my mom on me, here I'll even take you to Kamino and show you exactly what tank I came out of, you can tell it" Spicy jeered.
"I have never done anything to you, so I don't know why you're being so mean to me" Stella's purple orbs were narrowed at him angrily.
"Whatever! Let's just get you to this stupid dinner" Spicy glared right back at her. The two glared at each other until the taxi arrived and they had to stop their intense staredown. As the taxi was taking them to the mansion he noticed that Stella was staring up at the night sky.
"It looks like the moon will rise full tonight" her earlier anger seemed to be forgotten as her eyes sparkled with joy.
"Yea so? Who cares" Spicy just continued to watch the world pass by. He was amazed at how Coruscant looked from way up there.
"Hopefully tonight will be the night" Stella seemed excited. He didn't inquire about it partially because he didn't really care and also because they had arrived. He stepped out of the cab and followed her to the big mansion.
"I'll be out here if you need me" Spicy said.
"What? No you've got to come in with me, you are my guard and who knows what some creep might try to do to me while I'm here, I need you by my side" Stella said.
"Ugh quit being ridiculous, there is no way I'm going in there with you" Spicy scoffed.
"Please?" she asked.
"Do you really think that will work on me?" Spicy was unamused.
"I heard there are going to be some nice twi'lek ladies in there" Stella said.
"Well we better get going I can't let you be by yourself in there, who knows what some creep might try to pull" Spicy was leading the way.
"I thought that might convince you" she whispered to herself. They entered the mansion, Spicy couldn't believe how tacky and showy it was. He already regretted coming in until he saw some twi'lek babes.
"Maybe this won't be so bad after all" he said.
While Stella was at the table eating he was standing back scanning the area for any suspicious activity. Just then a pink twi'lek lady approached.
"How are you doing tonight?" she asked as she leaned against the wall.
"Better now that you're here" he broke protocol and took his helmet off.
"Oh, is that right?" she giggled.
"Well when a stunning lady like yourself graces me with her presence how can I not have a good night" he flirted.
"Oh you are so sweet" she got closer.
Stella was trying to focus on what the host of the dinner party was saying but she couldn't help but keep glancing at Spicy. Next time she looked he was making out with the twi'lek lady.
"Excuse me for a moment please, I must use the refresher" Stella got up from her seat. She stormed over to Spicy.
"Spicy may I have a word with you please?" she asked through gritted teeth and turned to leave without seeing if he followed.
'I'm sorry baby, will you give me just a second" Spicy said as he followed Stella to another room.
"What are you doing? You are supposed to be watching, remember the creeps" Stella looked angry.
"I was watching, look if I have to be stuck in this boring place with some boring senator, then I'm going to have a little fun" Spicy said. She looked hurt.
"I'm going to get some fresh air, the moon ought to be up by now you don't have to come, you can just go back to your fun" Stella turned and left. He was about to do just that. But sighing he decided against it he will never hear the end of it if something happened to her.
He went out on the balcony and saw her staring up at the moon. Her eyes were shut like she was concentrating. He had no idea what she was doing. She would occasionally grunt with effort. After several moments she opened her eyes, her shoulders sagged and she seemed on the verge of tears.
"I don't understand, what's wrong with me?..." She muttered sadly.
"You can take me home now I'm done for the night" Stella sighed heavily. The ride home was silent before he said goodnight he decided to ask her a question that had been plaguing his mind.
"So are you part of some weird cult of moon worshipers?" Spicy asked.
"Not exactly, I'm not in a cult anyway" she smiled sadly.
"But you do worship the moon?" he asked.
"Of course my culture requires it" Stella said.
"O…k then, I guess I will see you tomorrow" Spicy said as he left. He had to stop by Stone's office before he headed home. He really hoped he was being relieved of this duty because this woman gets weirder and weirder.
"What kind of weirdo worships the moon? I mean it just floats there, it's not like it can acknowledge their worship" Spicy wondered. He knew there were many different kinds of people on Coruscant, people of different cultures but he had never heard of something so weird. He reached Stone's office.
"You wanted to see me" Spicy said.
"Ah yes, I wanted to inform you that tomorrow you will be escorting Moonsong in an off world assignment" Stone said.
"Really? Finally some excitement" Spicy was excited. He rushed back to tell his brothers.
"An off world assignment? Lucky I just get to patrol the Federal district tomorrow" his brother said. Spicy got in his bunk and was researching the planet he was going to.
"It says here that there are beaches on it, maybe there will be some beach babes too huh" Spicy winked.
"You don't make any sense" his brother shook his head.
"Remember that you are there to protect that Senator, not to get lucky" his brother said.
"Who says I can't do both" Spicy said. His brother just sighed in exasperation.
"Don't hate because you are going to be patrolling the boring Federal district while I'm going to be getting cozy with some ladies" Spicy said.
"Well I better get some sleep, I dont want to look tired for the ladies tomorrow" Spicy said.
"You are so full of yourself" his brother sighed.
Spicy just winked at his brother before rolling over and going to sleep.
