CHAPTER 4
"OK, time to go and find a new base." Kanan said.
"Haven't you found one yet?" Asked Eloise
"Nope!," Ezra said, "the Inquisitors kept finding us. It seems impossible!"
"Maybe your over exaggerating it," Hera said, " I mean, we've got to find one soon, and it doesn't matter how long it takes."
"Since they keep recognizing you, why don't you change how you look?" Eloise said.
"We tried that already, you know, Stormtrooper armor. I even went undercover as a Cadet!" Ezra said.
"No, like, you know. How you wear that orange jacket and stuff? Why don't you just wear a tunic or something? Change up everything. When your back with the fleet, just wear this!"
"Huh, not bad, Eloise. Not a bad idea!" Hera said, obviously taking to her plan.
Eloise smiled, pleased to know that they actually listened to that idea.
So, next time the went out into the open, Ezra wore an old blue jumpsuit (same orange jacket), Kanan wore a Brown Shirt and Dark Yellow vest, Sabine wore a black shirt and ripped tights.
"Hey, why don't you wear something? " Ezra said.
"Well, the Empire doesn't really notice me. Other than the part where they were chasing me cause the inquisitors wanted me, so, yah!"
It went successfully! Ten times they passed by a group of Stormtroopers, and weren't noticed!
"OK, now to see if you can take an undercover job." Kanan said, "Your the only other one the Empire hasn't recognized as a Rebel yet."
"OK… so what's the job?"
"Imperial Cadet."
"Like me! Ezra chimed in.
" Ya, like you.."
"But I don't know the first thing about the Empire!"
"Well, they'll teach you! I mean, it is an imperial academy!"
"But they obviously know my name."
"Change of name, duh." Ezra said.
They both glared at Ezra, "Ya, like what?" Eloise asked.
"Dunno"
Eloise sighed. Then perked up. "What about… Mika!"
"Uh, sure. But where'd you get that from."
Eloise shrugged. "Random name, I guess."
"OK, then, last name?"
"Uuuuuuhh…..Cresselia?"
"Mika Cresselia. I like it!" Ezra said a little too enthusiastically.
Both Kanan and Eloise glared at him." Really? "
"First," Hera said, slamming a clipboard onto the table," We need to sign you up and Hope you get in. "
"Ya, OK, but why do I have to go?"
"Just to test you if your good undercover. But, if you happen to find anything that would be helpful for the Rebel Alliance, tell us then that would be your new mission."
Eloise nodded.
And, it turned out, she did get accepted.
"Oh boy. I hope I'm ready for this!"
"Don't worry, just a few more days until you have to go." Kanan said.
"But for now," Sabine said, " Let's try getting you ready for your role as 'Mika Cresselia, the new Imperial Cadet!'"
They both went into Sabine's room. When they came out, Eloise looked...different.
"Well, you look different." Ezra said.
"Ya. Can't recognize you," Zeb joked, " Just hope I don't confuse you for a Buckethead and knock you out. "
Eloise backed away one step with that.
"Oh, uh," Zeb said," didn't mean it."
Eloise just smiled and stayed where she was.
"Now to train you as a Cadet." Hera says, "Sabine and Ezra can help you with that. "
She turned towards them.
"Come on, let's train!"
When they finished training, she was exhausted.
"When you go there," Ezra said, " you have to be one of the good students, maybe even the best. Since your a force-sensitive, that will be an advantage. "
Eloise nodded, taking in all the information.
