AN: Thank you to all the dear readers who reviewed and messaged me with story ideas! You guys are awesome! This chapter is combined from requests from ProphetessMinty and .5851 and sort of a continuation of one of my earlier chapters "Pet Adoption". Hope you guys like it!


"I cannot believe General Skywalker sent us on this errand." Rex was not one to generally complain against his commanding officer but this particular assignment was starting to frustrate him.

"I agree. He gets himself into a mess then sends us on the goodwill errand." Ahsoka threw up her arms in a flippant gesture

"I vote the next time that General Skywalker has to meet with senators and diplomats one of us goes to keep a hand over his mouth." Rex lead the way down the street while glancing at the map displayed on his wrist mounted holo-display

Ahsoka barked out a laugh "I vote we never let him let him speak with senators and diplomats ever again."

"I second that." Rex muttered as they approached a marketplace alley "Here we go, this is the place."

"What are we looking for exactly?" the younger questioned as they started down the street.

Rex glanced at his wrist display "A white tooka, with an interesting pattern on its coat. That's all it says; but apparently this particular senator is very eccentric and particular in her tooka so it really does need to be interesting."

"White tooka's are rare." Ahsoka hummed "Which is probably why Anakin sent us on this errand; he wouldn't have the patience for this time of thing." She added

"We better get started…. Something tells me this is going to be long day." Rex sighed

Three hours has passed since Ahsoka and Rex had started on their search and they had yet to come across even a dealer who had found or sold a white tooka in a year. Most of them had laughed at the couple when they inquired about it, telling them they had a better chance of going to the grasslands and catching one themselves. Both of them were nearing their limit of patience but they needed to find the tooka that day before five that evening in order to satisfy the offended senator. So both dejected they continued to scour the market looking for a dealer.

"Looking at all the animals I'm starting to miss the tooka Fives and the others caught for us." Ahsoka mused

"That tooka could spat and hiss at everyone but you. It's no wonder it ran away as soon as we landed on Coruscant." the captain grumbled remembering the feisty tooka that terrorized the ship for nearly a week.

"I kinda liked it though. And I think Fives was upset that it ran away after he worked so hard to catch it for us." Ahsoka sighed

"It would be hard to keep a pet on the ship though." Ahsoka's boyfriend pointed out sensibly

The young woman waved her hand lazily "It could be more than a pet. It could also attack people we don't like and be used to scare rookies in pranks."

Rex laughed "Like what? Have the tooka jump out of the air vents onto the heads of poor unsuspecting shinnie?"

"Now you're catching on!" Ahsoka lightly smacked her boyfriend's chest "Imagine what fun it would be to have a little tooka running around the ship, following after us."

"Like a small youngling?" Rex quirked his brow as he glanced at her

"Yes only it will stay small and furry the entire time."

"Just what I've always wanted; a small, furry, youngling."

"Kuur, Rexster."

"LOOK OUT!"
"AHHH!"

Rex and Ahsoka turned to look behind them in the alley only to see dozens of tookas running and jumping over everything in their path. The young man pulled his girlfriend back against one of the alley walls while all the tookas ran yowling past. A few seconds later the shopkeeper came running after the cats, trying to catch them.

"Somebody catch them!" She cried

Ahsoka looked at Rex and he groaned and started shaking his head.

"Come on Rex, maybe if we help her she'll be able to help us." Ahsoka pushed off the wall and started after the escaping tookas. "Plus it's more exciting than what we were just doing."
Rex cursed under his breath and took off down the alley after his girlfriend and the annoying yowling animals.

It took Rex, Ahsoka, and the female shopkeeper over three hours to catch all the tookas from all over the marketplace and surrounding streets.

"That should be the last one." The woman said as she shoved the hissing animal into its respective cage. "Thank you both so much for helping me! I was sure nobody was going to."

The coupled sighed in relief once everything was back to order.

"Not a problem, glad to be of service." Ahsoka smiled

"I swear it's those crazy kids. They run a muck and cause trouble for all the shopkeepers in the market." The woman sat down on her stool "I'm sorry. I've pulled you two away from whatever you were doing and the shops are shutting down soon."

Ahsoka glanced at Rex slightly panicked; it was nearing four in the afternoon and they needed to have the white tooka to the senator's place in less than an hour. The shopkeeper noticed the exchange of glances.

"Is there something in particular I can help you find?" She asked kindly

"We're supposed to find a white tooka with an interesting coat pattern and have it delivered by five this evening. Only we haven't been able to find a single one all day." Ahsoka explained dejectedly

The lady laughed "Well I guess you came to the right place then! It just so happens I have a white tooka in the back; it doesn't much like the noise of the alley and it's so rare that I'm afraid people will try and steal it. I'll bring it out for you."

Ahsoka nudged Rex in the ribs and grinned "Thank you Ma'am, that would be most appreciated." Rex nodded

A moment later the lady came out of the curtained back room with a cage holding a milk white tooka with grey and black stripes and spots.

"He's really gentle, and friendly with any other tookas." the shopkeeper explained

"I think that would be good considering the person we're delivering this too." Ahsoka laughed

"We'll take him." Rex agreed

They completed the transaction and Rex and Ahsoka started out of the shop and back towards the senator's building. As they left the shop, the woman stopped them and shoved a small tan colored tooka into Ahsoka's arms

"Please take him; as a thank you. He's smaller than most tookas but he's got a little spunk too."

Ahsoka glanced at Rex who shrugged "You did say you missed the other one. At least this one is domesticated."

The young togruta snuggled the animal closer "Thank you. I love him."

"You're welcome. Now hurry off before you're late and thank you again for all the help."

Ten minutes before the designated time arrived, the couple met a pacing Anakin outside the senator's building.

"What took you guys so long!" He complained

Ahsoka cocked her hip and stared at him "Do you know how rare a white tooka is? And oh by the way, this was supposed to be your task!"

Rex stepped in to diffuse the situation "I think we better get up there and deliver the tooka before we annoy the senator any further."

The two consented and headed up to the penthouse. When they delivered the tooka the woman fawned over the animal before rolling her eyes at Anakin and slamming the door shut on their faces.

"Well that went better than expected." Anakin noted

Ahsoka stroked the tooka kit still in her arms "I'm surprised she didn't let all her tookas loose on you."

Anakin finally noticed the animal in his padawan's arms "Where did you get that?"

"It was a gift from the shopkeeper we helped today." Ahsoka held the cat protectively

Anakin looked to his captain "And you agreed to that?"

Rex shrugged "She likes it and it's domesticated this time."

Anakin looked suspiciously between the two of them "Okay, fine. You can keep it; but you're responsible for it."

"Thanks Master." Ahsoka grinned up at him

"What should I name him?" Ahsoka asked the group of gathered troopers around her dinner table.

"Sneaky" Hardcase suggested

"Sneaky?! Come on Hardcase, be original!" Fives slapped his younger brother on the back "How about Scratches?"

"Ah come on Fives!"

The group started throwing out names and jesting with each other until Ahsoka spoke up again

"How about Tra?"

"Tra?" Someone asked

Rex spoke up for the first time "It means space or star field; I think it's fitting cause this little guy is going to be spending a lot of time in space." He scratched the sleeping tooka, laying in his girlfriend's lap, under the chin.

"Tra it is!" Fives cheered


AN: Hope you guys liked it! .5851 I know that Rex wasn't the exact person to get Ahsoka the tooka but I hope his involvement and support was what you were looking for! ProphetessMinty I hope you liked the inclusion of the quirky senator and Anakin's big mouth.

Please review!
