Day 7

Everyone had woken up early. They didn't have to leave until later but they couldn't help it. They were all genuinely sad they had to go. A holiday had given them a taste of what a life after the war would be like, even Dogma didn't want to leave. Rex was by far the most unenthusiastic knowing he would have loads of reports to get back to, and he couldn't be with his general every ten seconds...

Fives however wasn't even awake yet. He had been cuddling echo in his sleep the entire night muttering "my lekku girl" constantly and moaning. Echo wasn't thrilled in any way shape or form.

"I'm not your kriffing girlfriend!" he flustered trying to push him off.

"ooooo echo has a boyfriend!" Hardcase cooed having the time of his life.

"shut up! I don't want to date him this is so embarrassing- STOP KRIFFING FILMING IT!"

Nobody could help laughing. The poor bookworm started kicking Fives in the shins trying his hardest to free himself from this torture.

Eventually, fives woke up.

"baby?"

"I AM NOT YOUR BABY!"

Fives looked up at Echo and jumped off the bed screaming.

"NEVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!"

"YOU STARTED IT!"

"JUST PACK YOUR THINGS!" (y/n) shouted out, "we still have to figure out how the hell we are going to get this tape off the vents without getting stung!"

About an hour later all belongings were out at the other end of the patio outside. Tup and Kix had been unanimously elected for the tape removal and all doors leading to the exit were wide open in preparation. (y/n) was abit annoyed that she couldn't do it but Rex refused, not wanting anymore ankles injured.

"Steady, steady... RUN!" The two clones ripped the tape off and booked it out of the flat.

They slammed the front door behind them to hear several tiny smacks as the wasps flew into the window.

Everyone just watched the suicidal wasps stunned.

"General, I think you had a good idea to tape the vents." Hardcase stood open mouthed.

"Agreed." she replied, quite lost for words.

"well I'm not waiting for when they find a new exit," Jesse picked up his bag, backing away, "can we leave?"

They swiftly vacated the area with no issues.

In less than ten minutes there was an issue.

"Where is fives?"

Everyone looked to Echo scared.

"don't tell me he's still-"

"No he definitely came out with us. But I don't know where he's gone."

Rex sighed temped to walk back into the flat and end his suffering, "call him."

"He wont answer"

"message him"

"so where is he?"

"don't ask."

-a few hours later-

The original adrenaline rush for everyone that morning had worn off. Most of the clones waiting had fallen asleep or gotten some coffee. As a result no clone had signed in so poor Rex did the selfless procedure of letting them all sleep and signing in over 200 clones one by one single handedly. (y/n) was doing different work on her data pad but kept getting sidetracked by how cute he was being; not one complaint, just quietly going around every clone and making sure they were all there taking extra care not to wake any of them up. •Then he wonders why he gets so many fathers day cards. He's such a great captain•

Fives turned up last, walking through the door with Shaak Ti. They quickly separated but Rex noticed. He walked up to the blushing arc.

"Fives."

Fives let out a shriek and jumped away smacking his head up the automatic doors.

"Ow." he groaned like a little child, Rex couldn't help but giggle.

"Come on fives stand to attention." he grinned.

"Yes sir!" he squeaked standing up straight.

"So, where were ya?"

"Um, me? Oh... um... I was, outside. Looking at some... Flowers and-"

"going to give them to ya girlfriend?"

Fives went redder.

"Don't worry," Rex smirked, "I never saw anything."

"Thank you so much Captain."

"No thanks needed, now get over there."

Rex fell asleep on the plane almost instantly as it took off. Without realizing he had nodded off cuddling into (y/n)'s shoulder. None of the 501st took a blind bit of notice, it wasn't a mind blowing fact Rex had a crush. Fives and denal decided to play badminton across the cabin while Jesse was complaining about the "scissors" that had been sunburned onto him.

Hardcase decided to be extra and set up a ten pin bowling alley. They were really making the most out if the last couple of hours they were going to get. (y/n) couldn't help but smile at the scene. For clones who had only known battle their whole life they still knew how to have fun, it was sad having to watch them go back to being serious soldiers.

Eventually the ride came to an end and everyone had to get off. The mood changed dramatically. Although they were sad they knew they were lucky. Most clones would never get this opportunity. And for the vast majority they knew this holiday would be their last.
