Chapter 3: The Story of Tonight
Kix and Jesse had gone out to 79 just for one shot. Just one shot. They couldn't throw that away. They took much more than that.
After shot number 9, Kix started singing drunkenly."I may not live to see our glory."
Jesse repeated him, starting off the song."I may not live to see our glory."
"But I will gladly join the fight."
"But I will gladly join the fight."
And so it went until they got to the first "Raise a glass to freedom!"
Commander Cody burst through the door. The 212th was looking after the 501st while Rex and General Skywalker were gone. Cody had left Ahsoka back there with General Kenobi. He spotted Kix and Jesse. Those two had snuck out.
"Hey you're part of Rex's battalion!" He stomped over those two, who had stood up and were bellowing. "Raise a glass to freedom, something they can never take away."
"Kix you're a medic! You have a valid reason to be sober." Cody looked at Jesse. "And you got a concussion on the last mission we were on!"
"No matter what they tell you!"they sang even louder.
Cody let out an angry sigh. Those two reeked of beer. "I'm taking you back to your Captain." He literally dragged them out of the bar.
Kix and Jesse kept singing. "They'll tell the story of tonight."
"Oh I'll tell the story of tonight. To the General."
"Aw, Skywalker's not gonna care," said Jesse.
"Not to your General." Cody said. " To mine."
