Jango was getting used to being the patriarch of his own little clan. He had Boba, he had the Rancor Battalion trio he had recently adopted as adults, and he even had the latter three’s own adopted children—several cute cadets, and two little foundling girls!

As he lazed in his bed on Concord Dawn, he still got jumpscared this particular morning, however. The boys were all little echoes of himself, and Alma was a Kaminoan, so she also registered as a normal sight in his brain by now. But Taki… well, bless her, he loved her, and her voice was as sweet as any other Mandalorian ad’ika’s he might meet in the village streets. But her gold, sparkly, pupil-less Arcona eyes were a bit disconcerting to wake to, pressed almost on top of Jango’s own brown human ones today.

“Gy-AHH-huh!” Jango, to his credit, recovered himself rapidly, yawning over the covers. “Mmmff… Taki, it’s a holiday, I thought we were all gonna sleep in…”

The little girl’s voice was urgent, tugging on the bedsheets with her tiny, spidery brown hands. “Grampa Jang! Buir an’ Ba’vadu Bo say they’re gonna go light fireworks an’ chase after ‘em with their jetpacks! Why can’t Salsa an’ me have jetpacks toooooo?!” she cried.

Jango shot straight up at this, suddenly very much awake. “WHAT?!!!” he thundered out of bed, nearly sending Taki flying. He barely noticed that her brother, little cadet Salsa, was indeed also there, peering hopefully over the side of Jango’s bed with her.

The clone host had grown quite close to the Rancor trio, during the final stages of the war, there on Kamino. He was getting more comfortable with calling any clone who wanted to be his “son,” but he had decided to go one step further, and make it official, in the case of Colt, Havoc, and Blitz. They got along very well with both him and Boba, and he thought he knew them deeply.

Well, he did, in many ways, and loved them dearly of course—but he had only observed them in the stricter setting of Kamino, instead of in the battlefield, on the other planets the ARCs had visited. And so it was only now—out here on Concord Dawn, in the happy freedom of the post-war world—that Jango was learning what Colt and Blitz apparently already knew: how Havoc got his name.

The blue Rancor lived up to it with every fiber of his being. And apparently had even been corrupting Boba now, dang him! As well as his own ade, Salsa and Taki.

Jango would not waste time explaining to the latter right now that they were not allowed jetpacks until their own verd’goten. He had his own sons to deal with at the moment. The very harried head-of-household nearly tripped out the front door, dancing in one pant-leg, as he somehow attempted to get his boots on while running.

Italics- Thoughts

Pls tell me, if I forgot something

,,Hello Miss Maris. We are glad you are willing to begin your training and help the Republic. I will let Null-ARC Trooper Mereel know of your presence. He will be the one you talk to if you have a question and will be guiding you around the Facility. I do not know how you managed to get one of them as your Guide but Sargent Skirata insisted we take him for this.” Elaborated Jedi Master Shaak Ti.

 ,,Thank you General Ti. My guess is as good as yours, General.” I smiled calmly.

General Ti contacted Null-ARC Trooper Mereel and informed him that he should come and get me.

General Kenobi caught my attention. ,,Hello Miss Maris. My Commander told me about your trouble with Commander Bly.” He said with mirth.

I laughed. ,,If you mean with trouble that he should practice to be an intimidating man, then yes. Commander Bly looks as intimidating as a Jedi youngling to me. But, well, at least he tried.”

General Kenobi laughed too. ,,Yes, he mentioned you were not afraid of Commander Bly. He mentioned also that you helped the Coruscant Guard catch a Slave trader. Thank you for that my dear.” Next to General Kenobi, Skywalker spoke up.

,,It has come to our attention that you can hold your own against a Clone. Not many Civilians can do that in Hand to Hand Combat and my Captain also informed me that you were an excellent shot with twin pistols.” General Skywalker tried to speak eloquent. I had to try and not laugh.

 ,,Would you help us defend Kamino against the Separatists? They are on their way. And it would be a shame not to use all that we have against them.” Finished Kenobi.

,,Yes. But l will need more than just stunners to damage a Droid.” I held out my DC-15 with stun Blasters.

Skywalker chuckled ,,Of course. You'll get real Pistols. And how do you know how a Jedi youngling looks like?”

,,Do you know the Jedi Padawan Kyara Aamon? Padawan of Mace Windu? I know her, we have meet a couple times.”

Behind me Null- ARC Trooper Mereel approached. He saluted.  

,,There is one more thing Miss Maris, how comes that you have a Null-ARC showing you around the Kamino Facility?”

 I shrugged. ,,I don’t really know. Maybe everyone else was busy?”  General Kenobi seemed happy with my answer and let it go.

Behind me stood the Null-ARC. ,,Miss I will show you your Room, if you would fallow me.” He said. He had a slightly different accent than the other Clones and he was a bit taller and broader.  

,,Well then Goodbye Generals, call me if you need me.”

As I walked with the Null- ARC Trooper Skywalker shouted. ,,And don't forget the real blaster Bolts.”

I turned around mid walking and smiled at him. ,,I will remember General.”  I said and gave him an lousy to finger salute, turned around again to fallow Null- ARC Trooper Mereel.

,,Do you want to give me your Backpack ,Miss?”

,,I’d rather not, but thank you.”

He lead me to a door that had a sign on it with my name.

,,This is your Room Miss. I will show you everything else afterwards.” He said.

He stepped in, took of his helmet and looked at me.

I let my backpack hit the ground, jumped in his Arms and he caught me.

,,I missed you so much Mer'ika. I am so glad you are here, I felt so lonely without my family.” I hugged him tight and hid my face in his neck.

Mereel hugged me back. ,,Oh C'ika don't worry I am staying as long as you stay with the Aiwa baits. We would never let you alone with those Monsters. You are one of our little sisters after all. Now tell me, what have you been up to the past 4 months.” He said and placed me on the Sofa.

I let go, so he could take of his arm and chest Armor. He stocked it on the table and came over to me. He sat down and I turned towards him, straddled him and hugged him around his neck.

,,I really missed you, Mereel I saw the others on Coruscant but you were off somewhere else. Probably getting into trouble without me.” I accused him.

He laughed. ,,For me it is healthier when I get into trouble instead of knowing my little Sister gets into trouble. Now what have you been up to, I know you are trouble Vod’ika. How was your first encounter with the Boys?”

I snickered. ,,I am trouble? Well I have been observing you too much that is where I have it from.” I shot back as I cuddled my head to his chest.

He snickered. ,,I missed you too Verd'ika. Now?” (little Warrior)

,,Okay lets see, where do I start. I am a Soldier too now. Well almost. I will be a Field Medic for the GAR and I helped the Coruscant Guard capture a slave trader, patched up Hardcase’s face, he is one of the 501st, made some new friends.”

Mereel looked at me with raised brows. ,,No trouble? All where respectful to you?” he asked with a knowing smirk.

,,Ha! I knew it.” I hit him lightly on the chest. ,,I knew you were stalking me. But how? How can you stalk me on a Republic Ship?” I sat back and crossed my arms before my chest.

Mereel laughed. ,,Vod’ika, I was merely worried about my little sister, feared some of them might not respect you. But I must say you did well. And I am proud of you. What did that medic call you? Pipsqueak?” he jested.

,,Nayc!” I laughed. ,,Only Kix can call me that! No one else.” (No!)

,,Okay C'ika.” he said smirking and took me back into his arms. He took my right wrist in his and rubbed my Wolffe tattoo. ,,I heared something about a potential brother in law. Now, what do you know about Commander Wolffe?” he grin proudly.

I pushed myself away again. ,,How could you possibly have heared that? Kix whispered that!”

Mereel laughed. ,,Ni cuy Ori'vod be gar, C'ika. (I am your older brother)When I hear something about my Vod’ika going to marry someone I have to double check. See if he is worthy of you.”

I grin. ,,I don’t know. I heared he is grumpy and intimidating. But I guess that is just his reputation.”

Mereel looked at me affectionaly and kissed my forehead. ,,You must know that. After all you developed good insight into human beings. You studied that Misses Nurse. Or should I call you Misses Fett?” he winked.

I shook my head. ,,Gar cuy di’kutla.” (You are idiotic)

We talked and laughed a bit more. Then later, Mereel put his armor back on and took me to the Medbay.

,,I can tell you Vod’ika, the long necks are not happy about me teaching you. Or well, lets call it how it is. Spending time with you.” he winked and showed me how to work with the GAR issued Bactatanks and Droids. When it was time to eat something.  Mereel took me to the Officers Mess. ,,What do you want Verd’ika? Meet new friends or stay with me?”

,,I'm always open for new friends. Is Alpha 17 here?”

Mereel smiled. ,,No, he has an assignment. Well then we join Commander Colt and the other ARC-Troopers.”

I took a tray with ration cubes. Mereel saw how I looked at them and laughed as he set his Tray down. Although we both ate enough Ration cubes and Rationbars, a civilian hadn’t had a chance to. That in mind, Mereel constructed a Story for me. ,,I know you cook better, Miss but that's what we all get here.” he winked.

In this City it was better that no one knew that Mereel was my brother otherwise the Kaminoans might treat me as a lesser being, because they called the Null-ARC's defective and wanted to terminate them, which for any other human being translated meant, being killed. To their luck Kal Skirata adopted and trained them.

,,Well, Mister Skirata. I am so hungry I think I don’t really care about that anymore.” I chuckled.

And that’s how you go from Siblings to strangers in under 5 Seconds. I had to smile at that thought.

,,Commander Colt of the Rancor Battalion and ARC Trooper, this is our new Medic in training. And so far she did an excellent Job.” he smiled.

,,Nice to meet you Madam.” Commander Colt said.

Mereel pointed at an ARC with a blue dual pauldron. ,,ARC Trooper Havoc.” Mereel pointed to another ARC with a yellow dual pauldron and a white kama with black diamonds embroidered on its design. ,,ARC Trooper Blitz.” Mereel pointed at another ARC with a red dual pauldron. ,,ARC Trooper Hammer” they all greeted me.

,,What does it take to be an ARC Trooper?”

Since I grew up with the Null-ARC's I knew it but an ordinary little nurse from Coruscant couldn't possibly know, right?

,,You must be better in everything a soldier does than all others. Plus you get special training if your Captain or Commander recommends you to be an Advanced Recon Commando.”

,,Wow, so all of you are the best of the best?”

Mereel nodded with a sly smirk.

,,Mister Skirata? Do I have a chance to be an ARC since I am in the GAR?” I asked.

Mereel only laughed together with the other ARC's. ,,Miss you are a Civi working for the GAR. The Chances are there but I am sure. You will not find a Civi who is as trained as we are. And to be an ARC you must have accomplished a variety of special trainings. I wish you good luck but I am not sure if you can do that.” he answered.

,,Miss Maris where are you from?” asked Blitz.

,,I live on Coruscant with my Family but I have not seen them since two month. They are traveling through Space and marvelling at the Republics beauty. Last Time I checked they were on Naboo.”

Blitz, who sat next to me nodded. ,,Why come to the army though? I mean no disrespect but you are a beautiful young woman. I am sure there are better suited places for you than the battlefields. The Senate perhaps?” he smiled warmly.

,,None taken. No I hate politics. I only speak to politicians when there is no other way. I've learned that almost all politicians are liars and the Senator are not better, some of them are so carefree while their home is being destroyed or are so thick and fat but their people are starving. No Blitz, the Senate is the last place I want to be.”

The men at the table smirked and grinned at my opinion.

Mereel slightly kicked me under the table. ,,Miss Maris, why do you carry twin Blasters?”

I smiled at him. ,,Long Story short, my father taught me how to use weapons. And when he found out that I along with my Sister, the Girls of the family were ambidextrous he was so happy to teach me. I told Captain Rex of the 501st and he got me these. But they are only stunners. Oh that reminds me. General Kenobi or Skywalker, I don't remember which one, said you should give me real bolts.”

The men on the table laughed and had red faces. Mereel vis a vis from me grinned like a Cheshire cat. ,,What kind of Bolt would you like? A Wolfy bolt?”

,,Oh Come on. Drop it.” I hissed and hid my face behind my hands. ,,It was Kix's Idea not mine and I said Bolts not only Bolt.”

Now Mereel laughed too. ,,If you ask him nice enough he might tell you if he has one bolt or two bolts.” he chuckled.

,,Are you done?” I asked amused.

,,Yes Miss Maris.” he chuckled.

Diagonal from me, Commander Colt snickered. ,,Do you have the hots for Commander Wolffe?”

And Mereel nodded. ,,Elek.”(Yes)

,,No I don't.” I pulled back my sleeve to show the Tattoo. ,,I am Corellian and my Soul is a Wolf that is why a medic of the 501st asked me if I liked this Commander Wolffe. But truth is I have never seen nor meet him. The first time I heard of him was at the Coruscant GAR Base because Commander Cody told Commander Bly that he should take lessons from that Commander Wolffe in how can I look intimidating. Nothing else.”

Mereel laughed so hard he leant his head on the table.

,,You are just too good. Can we keep you?” asked Blitz next to me between laughs.

,,Sorry to disappoint you but I am now sure I will work with this Commander Wolffe. I mean everyone and I mean the 501st and you ARC's are teasing me. That means I will have to go there. I want to know with whom you all couple me.” I chuckled.

Mereel calmed down. ,,Are you sure your Brothers would approve of a Clone Miss? And that is only hypothetical because we are not allowed to be in relationships or breed.” he asked while he tried to eat. But failed because Blitz and Colt were still snickering and that made Mereel laugh again.

,,Yes. As long as he treats me with respect. They're not going to say anything against him.” I said and smiled.

After Dinner Mereel showed me around Tipoca City and the armory’s in case I would need it since the Clankers were on their way.

The we went back to my room and he pulled a Holoprojector up. Mereel showed me about the Jedi, who was good and who I should stay away from.

,,Wolffe’s Jedi General’s name is Plo Koon he is a Keldor and a Jedi Master. He treats his Men with respect and sees them like his Sons. I bet he had trouble because of that, since Jedi shouldn't get too attached. He visits Dorrin regularly to meditate and furthermore to breath without Mask. Since Oxygen is toxic for him.“

,,Skywalker likes to 'rush the guns' witch means he has a lot of casualties were it not for Captain Rex and Commander Tano they had even more casualties. He is also in a Relationship with Senator Padme Amidala. How we found out? It is very obvious, and Ordo has to check all security cams on a regular Basis, we saw a lot of kissing and more. Don’t worry, we deleted all of that for their sake.”

I hit him on the shoulder. ,,Mer'ika! Leave those Lovebirds alone. You don’t have to check if he is doing it right. Shame on you.” I skidded. With only a halve glare.

Mereel lifted his brows sighed. ,,You know even Jedi can improve on some things."

I shook my head. ,, Too much information Mereel, way too much."

He grin and continued. ,,Kenobi is a negotiator. He likes to lure the enemy in with sweet talk so his men can surround them and then they give up. Other than that he is a gentle leader but he is most paired with Skywalker since he was his Padawan- Kenobi is still his Master but they're more brotherly now.  So Cody and Kenobi try to help Rex and Commander Tano to hold Skywalkers risky Strategies at bay. And Kenobi has the Hot’s for Dutchess Satine Kryze. We found out the same way minus the kissing part.”

I just shook her Head. ,,Really?” Just how oblivious are they?

,,Yeah” he cleared his throat. ,,You know Windu and by the Way, Ponds gives you his best wishes for your training here. He’s looking forward to see you in action. And he said, whenever you feel alone and he is on Coruscant, you could come over to the Base and spend time with him and his men. He really likes you, even went so far as to tell me, that I had an awesome Sister and that he is kind of jealous.  I told him you are an annoying little Brat.” Merrell winked and grin. ,,How were you able to wrap him around your little finger?”

I hit him again this time on the back of his head.

,,Ow! C'ika! Stop hitting me. That hurts. I'll tell Pons how mean you are.” He turned around to me, picked me up and threw me on the Bed. ,,Anyway, now that I can speak again. His General is not to happy about that but he said he would accept any help that could change the war for the better so he's friendlier than usually.” Mereel chuckled.

I laughed. ,,Yeah Mace hates me sometimes. But it’s not my fault if he is too stupid to fly a Jedi star fighter. You know at least he did not tell anyone about the encounter with the Greys.”

Mereel nodded. ,,You can hope he didn’t."

I remembered that encounter, in the Outer rim, above an Moon. I was testing my abilities with the others, they had flown away suddenly leaving me alone there. I turned around and Mace almost flew into me. I shook my Head to clear it.

,,Yoda is grammatically so wrong it's hilarious. But except that he is a nice old Jedi. He needs to be carried around a lot by his men but he doesn’t weights a lot. If you want to know more about the Jedi, ask your Sister.”

Yup, not happening. Carolina has enough Problems with them..

When we needed a break, I cooked for Mereel, since he hasn't been home for four months. I had fresh fish in the Refrigerator and some vegetables. Some kind of special treatment for civilians. So I cocked for us and enjoyed the self made food because we both knew that soon we had to eat rations again.

Mereel showed me the Medbay closer, he introduced me to a Kaminoan who was in charge of the Medbay. I asked her questions, about different kind of wounds, treatments and procedures. All the time the dull black Eyes, gazed down upon me. Merrell staid with me the whole time. Learning new things too. Afterwards he showed me the Meddroids and informed me that when a clone needs longer than 4 Weeks to recover he will be terminated, because he costs more than he is worth. The Meddroid will most likely inject him with a Kalium overdose, witch will stop his Heart. Killing the Man instantly. He showed me also the Master switch on every Meddroids Backhead. ,,I want to make sure, that you are able to stop it, if it needs to be, without getting into too much trouble.” He had a sad glint in his Eyes while he told me.

I knew he meant if the Med droid wanted to kill someone with that Kalium injection.

I hope I never have to

Then we returned to the Tour and he lead me to a firing range. ,,Here, you can practise to shoot, Miss Maris.” He showed me how to shoot and I did as I was told.

There were a bunch of Cadets there too with their Shoot instructor. They Glanced at me and some even gaped as I hit dead centre. 

,,If you would concentrate on me as hard as you do with Her, you could be ARC Troopers in an instant!” The instructor shouted. The Cadets flinched all at the same time and concentrated on him again.

I shoot him a dirty look of disapproval.

He saw it and shot one back.

Mereel stood with his Arms folded behind me and glared at him. As the Instructor noticed him he wanted to say something but Merrell held his Hand up. ,,Don’t even try it, Bric.” By the Time I was finished both of us were hungry again. I enjoyed cooking with Mereel, it was always so carefree to be with him. Some people said Mereel and I acted like lovers- but we didn't. I sometimes flop down on him, but just because he did that with me when he was smaller, and now that I am the smaller one, I do that.

The next two days I went back to the firing range and Mereel told me more about Tipoca City and the Jedi. ,,Vod’ika listen close to me. Stay away from Pong Krell and keep everyone you love away from him. You know what happened, back then and he uses us as Canon fodder and bait. We are even less worth to him than a droid. Remember when we found your Sister? She used to be his Padawan.”

Memories flashed before me. Carolina malnourished and scarred. Buir lifted her in his arms and hugged her to him. ,Udesii Ad’ika. Ni cuy ti gar par darasum. Ni cartail gar darasuum.' (Calm down Child. I am with you forever. I love you.) Carolina cried in Buirs arms and was too exhausted to stay awake. She slept in on him.

,,Cira?"

,,Hmm?"

Mereel smiled sadly. ,,Carolina?"

I nodded. ,,I remembered when I first met her. When she slept in on Buir."(Dad)

Mereel nodded and showed me the training ground where right at the moment a squad of cadets trained. I watched them and talked about tactics and how I took out Ordo as I was only 16 years old.

,,You were so small and you still are.” Mereel laughed. ,,I can still remember that. It was glorious.”

,,Ha-ha.” I rolled my eyes at him ,,Very funny.”

Now we were currently walking towards the Cadet Barracks.

,,I want to show you how we were bunked. But I will have to make sure first that all Cadets are decent.” he said and entered the Barracks. A few moments later he came back out. And waved me in.

There were a few Cadets who stood at parade rest.

,,Miss Maris might I introduce you. Gamma squad.”

I smiled at them. ,,Hello Gamma Squad. My name is Cira Maris. I am a Medic in training. What are your Names?”

,,Torch, Miss.”

 ,,Rise, Miss.”

,,Bolt, Miss.”

,,Kick, Miss.”

,,Joke, Miss.”

,,Boys, I have a question can, I try and climb into the first bed. I wonder how it feels to be in such a bed.”

Mereel answered me instead of a Cadet. ,,Yes but do not close it.”

I climbed up the stairs and opened the first bed. I sat upon the first Bed and kicked off my Boots. I almost hit Mereel with one. He grinned up at me. ,,Miss if you want to hit me with your Boot you will have to aim better.”

,,Well at least I tired.” I said back amused and lay down.

Below me the Cadets only looked curious as to why I would hit the Null-ARC with my Boots but didn't say anything.

,,This is actually rather comfortable. But I come back down.” I said and climbed back down. I put on my Boots and thanked the Cadets. We walked back to my room and to the kitchen.

,,You are aware that you just brightened their day. They are the only Cadets of their Barracks who talked with a Girl that was not a Jedi, Trainer or Long Neck.”

I shrugged. ,,I am glad I could help.” I yawned and stretched. ,,Mer'ika I am tired. Let's go sleep. You wake me up tomorrow early enough. I am sure of it.”

,,Yes at 0500 strait.”

I ceased walking. And he crossed his arms.

,,We are in the Army C'ika.”

,,Mer'ika you love me, right?”

He chuckled and shook his Head. ,,Okay, let's hear it.”

,,Since I will be in the army from now on and I will have to get up at 0500 strait daily can I have some sort of vacation? Like we get up at 0700? Please? I don’t know when I will be able to sleep longer than 5 o'clock when my training is through.”

,,Okay 0700 and next time when were on leave you cook. Otherwise no.”

,,Okay, deal.”

I made us a Tea and Mereel enjoyed it, being able to actually sit down and slowly sip a cup of Tea. Then I went to Bed.

Before I slept in, my thoughts circled around my Sister.
