I'm having SO much fun with this fic! :D Thanks to Aurora Lunar 0Love This0 for reviewing! Please review and do my poll!

The next mission was more of a skirmish than a mission. There was a VERY small post of droids on a moon of a VERY small planet. It was an easy victory; they could have done it with only Don and Del. Del was uneasy about the victory. She felt that the separatists were letting them win so they would let their guard down. If anything, she was more alert; she kept an eye on the troops and what missions everyone was going on. They returned to Coruscant a few days later and he gave Del Amni's number and told her Amni's request. She looked shocked when he told her Amni's name but he excused it as just because they didn't normally have people ask if they could tour the ship. To his surprise she called Amni and told her that it was fine for her to tour the ship. She arranged it so she would come the next day. The mechanics would be working on it so it couldn't go anywhere anyway.

"Don, I want you to show Amni the ship."

"But Del, couldn't another troop do it?"

"Yes, but I don't want another troop to do it; I want you to."

"But..."

"No buts," Del interrupted. "You are going to give her a tour of the ship." Don looked like he was about to protest again so she added, "That's an order!"

"I hate it when you pull the authority card on me," he grumbled.

"If you would listen first tim-" she was cut off by Don putting his hand over her mouth.

"No disrespect, but do you ever shut up?"

She pried his hand off her mouth, "No, I don't."

"So what's so important?"

"What do you mean?"

"Normally you would lead the tour yourself."

"It's something that involves you guys but I can't... I won't say anymore."

"Does it involve the Jedi order?"

"No, it's my little secret. You'll find out soon enough." She smiled and walked away leaving him to wonder what in the galaxy she had up her sleeve. After all the sleeves for the Jedi robes were pretty big.

The next day he slept in; Amni wasn't coming until 1300. He got up at 0900 and worked out. Then he headed for the showers. Then he looked in the mirror. He frowned at his grungy appearance; he hadn't shaved since they left for the mission so he had quite the beard. He supposed he should shave; he normally only shaved when he was going to a meeting with the Jedi, the admirals, or the GAR. He told himself he wasn't shaving because he wanted her to like him; he was shaving because he didn't want to look grungy in the hanger. As much as he told himself that deep in his subconscious he knew he was shaving for her. He shaved to the sound of a brother singing in the shower. He finished getting ready and headed for the hanger-bay. He met Rex on the way there. He could tell Rex hadn't had a meeting with anyone superior for a while; his brother had a fairly bushy beard.

"Hello Commander Don, how are you?"

"Fine Captain Rex, how are you?"

"So-so. Where are you going?"

"To the hanger-bay."

"To meet a lady?" Rex wiggled his eyebrows.

"Just because I look nice doesn't mean I'm going to meet someone."

"Stop trying to kid me. We both know you only shave when you're meeting with superiors and I happen to know that there is no superiors in the hanger-bay you are headed for."

"I only shaved because Del asked me to giver her a tour. I'm only doing this for Del."

"Then why didn't Del lead the tour?"

"Why don't you ask her? She won't tell me." Rex could detect hurt in his brothers voice. He knew why; it was hard when superiors who told you everything started keeping secrets.

"Sorry, I didn't know. Cheer up, I'm sure you'll find out soon."

"And how do you know that?"

"If I'm right, and I normally am, she won't keep it a secret for long. She can't stand keeping secrets from you guys anymore than you can stand not hearing secrets."

"I suppose you're right."

"Of course I am! I'd better go. I'm playing poker with Cody, Fives and Echo."

"You got Echo to play poker?"

"Yeah, he's not such a stick in the mud after all." With that Rex and Don headed their separate ways.

When Don got to the hanger-bay she was already there. She was looking around and when she saw him here eyes lit up.

"There you are! I was worried you weren't coming. Del told me you were going to give me a tour."

"Yeah, that's me, your average, ordinary, everyday, tour guide."

"I think it's nice of you to take time to show me around. I've always wanted to see the inside of one." He escorted her onto the ship and showed her around. The tension that had been there at the beginning was gone by the time they were done. They were laughing and talking like they had been friends for years.

"You're kidding; she actually said that?"

"Yes, to the council of all people."

She laughed, "Somehow that doesn't surprise me. Even over the com-link she seemed like the type of person that would tell anyone off."

"She is; I'm pretty sure she'd even tell the Chancellor Palpatine off."

Her smile faded instantly. "What's wrong? Was it something I said?"

She looked around and grabbed his arm yanking him behind a Jedi cruiser. She looked around to be sure no one was watching and then said in a low voice, "I don't trust him."

He was surprised at her words, "Why?"

"He's too honest and caring up front. He strikes me as a kind of man that says one thing to your face and another behind your back. I wouldn't be surprised if he started this war for his own personal gain. After all, it got him emergency powers so he can do anything he wishes to."

"I don't think he's that kind of person. Maybe your wrong."

"I wish I was. Look Don, you have to promise not to repeat a word of anything I'm going to tell you to anyone. Do you promise?" He nodded yes. "I'm wanted by a gang." Her eyes started to fill with tears, "My husband worked for them and I accidentally saw them kill someone. My husband died protecting me and my daughter. The man who ran the gang is just like Chancellor Palpatine; sweet and caring to your face and conniving behind your back. I moved here and sent my daughter to foster care. I don't give my name out often."

"Are you safe? Should you be here? You should change your name."

"I'm safe, of course I should be here. I'm not going to run. The Jedi have been protecting me. Del recognized my name and asked me if everything was okay. I'll be fine; I should go now. Do you have my number still?"

"I gave it to Del but I memorized it by accident."

"Good, call me."

Shocking isn't it! She's running from a gang! :D You'll have to wait and see!
