Cody slowly made his way into the hangerbay. He was tired beyond belief. Each night for the past two weeks, Rex, Ahsoka, Obi-wan, or a combination of the three had stopped by his quarters at any point during the night. He couldn't think straight and he was afraid Anakin was noticing. Anakin was busy enough with the Duchess and the Senator. Cody sighed, he needed a break, badly.
"Hey, Codes!" Rex's voice carried over to him and Cody sighed. Another lovely day with his men, yippie. Cody glanced over at Rex before sitting down next to Anakin.
Anakin glanced at him, then at the confused Rex,"Having problems, Commander?"
"No, sir, Rex and I are just having a little disagreement," Cody mumbled as he rubbed his eyes.
"Have you been sleeping?" Anakin peered closer at him.
"Don't you have a Duchess and Senator to watch?" Cody growled.
"I'll take that as a yes, then," Anakin sighed. Things were worse than he had first thought.
"What is Rex doing?" Cody groaned. Anakin looked to see Rex walking up to Ahsoka, who was sitting by Satine and Padme.
"Where it began, I can't begin to knowin', but then I know it's growin' strong. Was in the spring, then spring became the summer. Who'da believed you'd come along ? Hands, touchin' hands," Rex took Ahsoka's hand. "Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you! Sweet Caroline! Good times never seemed so good. I've been inclined to believe they never would. But now I -"
Ahsoka stood, jerking her hand out of Rex's, stunned, but Rex kept going," Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely. We fill it up with only two. And when I hurt, hurtin' runs off my shoulders. How can I hurt when holdin' you? Warm touchin' warm," Rex held his hand out to Ahsoka. "Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you!"
Ahsoka smiled and took Rex's hand, who spun her around," Sweet Caroline! Good times never seemed so good! I've been inclined to believe they never would!Oh!No! No!"
Rex pulled Ahsoka into a kiss as some other clones began to sing," Sweet Caroline! Good times never seemed so good!Sweet Caroline! I've been inclined to believe they never could!"
Ahsoka pulled away, looking deeply into Rex's eyes,"Life is beautiful, we love until we die. When you run into my arms,we steal a perfect moment. Let the monsters see you smile, let them see you smiling."
Rex smiled down at Ahsoka, brushing away her tears,"Do I hold you too tightly? When will the hurt kick in?"
Ahsoka shook her head,"Life is beautiful, but it's complicated. We barely make it. We don't need to understand,there are miracles, miracles."
Rex nodded, hugging Ahsoka," Yeah, life is beautiful. Our hearts, they beat and break. When you run away from harm,will you run back into my arms,like you did when you were young? Will you come back to me?"
Ahsoka twirled away from Rex, smiling,"I will hold you tightly when the hurting kicks in. Life is beautiful, but it's complicated, we barely make it. We don't need to understand, there are miracles, miracles."
Rex sighed,"Stand where you are. We let all these moments pass us by."
Ahsoka laughed," It's amazing where I'm standing,there's a lot that we can is ours just for a moment. There's a lot that we can give."
Rex pulled Ahsoka close as they both sang," It's amazing where I'm standing,there's a lot that we can is ours just for a moment. There's a lot that we can give."
Anakin turned to Cody,"Guess that answers that question."
Cody was leaning against the wall, fast asleep.
