INT. CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS - RESOLUTE - HYPERSPACE
Ahsoka and McKayla enter the Captain's quarters followed by Fives and Echo. Fives tip toes inside dramatically, as if he'd get caught if he walked normally. The door slides shut behind them.
AHSOKA
So boys, let's review the plan!
Echo beckons everyone into the refresher. It's small, but they cram in there.
ECHO
It's all set up. All we have to do is wait.
FIVES
Yeah, whoever uses the water first, whether sink or shower, will turn 212th yellow.
ECHO
Yup, guaranteed paint job for the skin.
McKayla stares back and forth between the two of them with pure horror on her face. Ahsoka pounds a fist into her hand excitedly.
AHSOKA
Let's go warn Rex.
ECHO
Wait! We need someone to holofilm in here.
McKayla and Ahsoka exchange disgusted glances.
MCKAYLA
I'm not-
AHSOKA
-We're not doing that.
ECHO
Fine. Looks like Fives is the only volunteer.
FIVES
WHAT!
Echo chuckles as they all exit the tiny refresher.
FIVES
Every time I get caught and it ALWAYS gets blamed on me! I am NOT-
ECHO
-It's your turn to be at the scene of the crime, remember?
FIVES
(hunches over)
Oh yeah.
McKayla covers a hand over her mouth to hide her laughter.
AHSOKA
So we're warning Rex, right?
ECHO
Yeah, we can-
The door slides open. Rex and Cody glare at Fives and Echo in front of them. Then they spot Ahsoka and McKayla. Rex looks even more worried and his eyes dart about the room scanning for trouble. Cody's expression softens.
CODY
What're you doing in here?
AHSOKA
(innocently)
Waiting for you!
Rex pushes his way inside.
REX
Uh-huh. I don't believe that.
Rex wanders around the room, staring at the ceiling, the walls, looking behind the furniture.
AHSOKA
Rex-
REX
-Fives, what did you do in here?
FIVES
You have no evidence that I did anything!
ECHO
He didn't do anything! I've been here the whole time!
Rex approaches the Domino twins and narrows his eyes at them.
REX
Let me rephrase that, then. Echo, what did you do here?
AHSOKA
Ugh, Rex!
REX
What!
AHSOKA
We're not pranking you if that's what you're asking!
REX
(freezes)
...What? Then what were you doing in here?
Cody grunts and pushes through the crowd.
CODY
Sort this out on your own. I'd like to freshen up before we land planet-side tomorrow.
The door to the refresher slides shut behind Cody. Ahsoka, McKayla, Echo, and Fives all stare at the door in anticipation. Rex notices and glances at the door apprehensively.
REX
Okay... What are you doing to Cody?
FIVES
(smugly)
You'll see.
REX
Do I want to stick around?
FIVES AND ECHO
YES!
Rex sighs and sits on his bunk as the sound of the water from the showers turns on.
Cody lets out a horrific yelp, causing Rex to immediately stand back up. The water shuts off.
The door slides open. Cody stands there wrapped in a towel. His skin and hair are covered in a thick layer of yellow goo.
Fives and Echo quickly run to hide behind Ahsoka and McKayla, using them as human shields. Ahsoka snickers as McKayla looks genuinely sorry for Cody. Rex stuffs a fist in his mouth to keep from laughing.
ECHO
Sorry, Cody, but welcome back to the 501st!
FIVES
And it stains your skin, so have fun with that.
Fives and Echo bolt out the door. Cody looks back the 'fresher, specifically at his blacks lying on the floor.
CODY
(sighs)
Forget it. They're paying for this right now.
Cody bolts out the door still wrapped in his towel.
CODY
YOU DI'KUT'S CAN'T RUN FROM ME!
Ahsoka and Rex crumble over in laughter as McKayla stares after Cody in shock. What was she getting herself into? She really had no idea.
AHSOKA
Come on! Let's go watch.
REX
This I have got to see.
McKayla follows Ahsoka and Rex out of the room.
