Yes, I decided to post again! I have fallen in love with this story and couldn't help it! :D Please Review!


Same day: Coruscant.

The rest of the trip was spent in silence. They arrived on Coruscant and headed for the Jedi temple. They marveled at how tall it was. Acher walked up to one of the padawans guarding the temple's entrance.

"Excuse me, Master Jedi."

The Nautolan padawan looked up, "Yes?"

"I'm the commander of the 566th battalion," he noticed she blinked and shifted when he mentioned their number. "We are supposed to meet our General somewhere around here. They said the east hanger?"

"I can take you there. Trix, can you watch the temple by yourself for a few minutes? These troopers need to get to the east hanger."

A blond, female human looked up, "Yeah, I can watch it." The Nautolan walked back down the stairs with him and he signaled his men to follow him. They walked in silence until their guide stopped short. Acher ran into her and turned a shade of pink.

"Sorry Sir," he said, glad his helmet kept her from seeing how pink he was.

"That's okay, I stopped short. I should have warned you. This is the east hanger. Your General should already be here."

"Thank you for guiding us."

"No problem, it's nice to take a break. I'm Roseanna by the way. If your ever here and aren't busy I'd like to talk to you."

"Why? No one ever wants to talk to clone troopers."

"Because, you have been all over and I want to hear about your experiences." She walked away humming some song he didn't know. Odd that she was humming, he thought, Nautolans music is normally different, but it sounded like a normal song. He walked into the hanger with his troops and… didn't see anyone that would qualify as a General. He saw several padawans and some mechanics.

"Maybe he's running late Sir," one of the clones said.

"Maybe, or maybe he decided not to come at all." They stood in silence for several minutes. Then there was some commotion from down the hall. A couple of teenage girls rushed in. He decided neither of them could be their general. Number one, they didn't look old enough to be a Jedi Knight; number two, they were girls, he was pretty sure that their new general would be a man just like the last two.

"I can't believe I'm late Barriss. What if they left? That would be mortifying!"

"Your only late because Master Windu decided to take up his name and be long winded," the one called Barriss smiled in satisfaction when the other girl snickered. "Besides, I'm positive they didn't leave."

"And why do you think that?"

"Because Del, I'm pretty sure that's them." The other girl turned toward where the other girl was looking and her eyes got wider. Acher wondered why it looked like she was staring at them. Perhaps she was here to tell them their general was going to be late.

"Oh," she said. They walked toward them; the one girl was turning pink. "You must be the 566th battalion. I'm your general." Acher's jaw dropped and one of the soldiers who was a little more composed reached his hand out and pushed it shut.

Acher got over his initial shock rather fast, "I'm Commander Acher, at your service."

"Hello, I was hoping to have more time to meet you but the council has informed me we are leaving for Felucia at 1500 (read fifteen hundred). I hope to get to know you better on the ship. Nice to meet you Commander," she said, and then she turned and left. The men shifted and headed toward the ship. They got on the ship and headed for the barracks.

One of the troopers exploded as soon as they were all there, "The General is a woman! No strike that, she's a girl not a woman. What are we going to do?"

"We can't ruff her up like we were planning!"

"Can't we? She looks like she wouldn't hold out a week against our plans. It would be easy to do."

"She doesn't look like she would hold out a day! Are we sure she isn't a padawan?"

"There was no padawan braid; the one next to her had one but she didn't."

"She's awfully young to be a Knight."

"I think we shouldn't go through with it."

"I think we should!"

"Commander?"

"I don't know about you but I refuse to be pushed around! I'm going to give her trouble. Are you with me?"

"YEAH!" they yelled. Then they started planning what they were going to do. This was going to be fun, Acher thought.
