Lux scoffed and rolled, "Don't we need money to buy a ship?"

Rex resisted the urge to punch him in the face then continued to pull out the sack of credits. He wavered it in Lux's face, showing off his prize. Lux's mouth hung open. Rex snickered in Lux's surprise.

"Where did you..." he trailed off.

"I got it from Loomai" Rex purred, still shaking the small bag, "He was...persuaded to hand it over"

"Mhm" Lux sassed.

Lux rolled his eyes. Then Rex lost it. He tackled Lux, pinning the flailing boy to the dusty ground. He yelped in shock and struggled against Rex's grip. Rex only tightened his grip, an enraged look plastered on his face. Lux gulped out of fear, Rex's eyes scaring the living bantha fodder out of him.

"What did you do to Ahsoka in that tunnel?" Rex snarled, his voice dangerously quiet.

"What are you talking about?" Lux sputtered, playing dumb.

"Tell. Me. What. You. Did." Rex demanded, getting off of Lux.

Lux was relieved but not for long. Rex proceeded to pick Lux up by the collar of his shirt, his feet not touching the ground. Lux tried to pry Rex's hand off his shirt, but failed miserably. Rex was ten times stronger than this gangly, senator, boy. Rex usually worked out at least once a day, having to stay fit for the army of the republic. Afterall being a clone had its perks. He could pick up Lux with no problem, not even breaking a sweat.

"I- Erm-" Lux stumbled for words, "I touched her thigh... but it was only to help her. She had a cut on her leg and-"

This enraged Rex, though he already knew about it. Just hearing Lux admit it made Rex even more disgusted with the boy.

"What. Else." Rex growled.

"Her chest too. But it was by accident I promise." Lux muttered, looking anywhere but where Rex was.

Rex balled his fist, clenching his jaw. He released his grip on Lux's collar, Lux falling to the ground with a thud. Lux scrambled to his feet, a glare on his face. Rex used this moment to clear everything up.

He got all up in Lux's face and started poking his chest, "Don't you ever touch Ahsoka again. Or I will personally make your life a living hell. By the time I'm done with you, you'll have the face of a hutt and the color to match it." Rex hissed.

Lux swallowed hard before nodding quickly.

"Do. You. Understand?" Rex snarled.

"Y-yes sir" he stuttered with a bit of attitude.

Rex grinned with satisfaction, "Good now I'm going to get that ship"

"I'll come with you," Lux said.

He was sick of having to deal with this clone, always thinking he was tough and better than lux. This ended now. While buying a ship, Lux planned to get inside Rex's head. Hopefully that would break Ahsoka and Rex up, turn them against each other. He would convince him that Ahsoka didn't love him. They would get into an argument and hopefully split. Then Rex would be out of the picture and Lux would come in.

"Why?" Rex asked, raising a suspicious eyebrow.

Lux put a hand on his hip, "Do you even know where you're going?"

Rex huffed then groaned, "Fine. I guess you can come."

Lux let out a satisfied smirk, and began to walk in front of Rex.He led the way once again to the marketplace. While walking, Lux began to start the scheme and put his evil plot into action.

"So you and Ahsoka huh?" he asked.

Rex looked confused, "Yeah..."

"How long have you been together?" Lux pushed.

"Why do you want to know?" Rex pointed out.

"I'm just Curious" Lux lied.

"Well if you really need to know it started when we landed on Kashyyyk" Rex bragged, rubbing it in Lux's face.

Lux flinched, nodding slowly, "And..."

"What are you up to?" Rex growled.

"Nothing I'm just wondering" Lux sneered.

They kept on walking for a while before they arrived at the bustling market. The loud chatter of customers and salespersons filled Rex's ears. As much as he disliked this place, here he was. Garm was one of the last people he wanted to see right now but again he was one of the only people that sold ships apparently.

"So you and Ahsoka seem pretty close" Lux purred.

Rex looked taken aback, this kriffing boy was up to something and he didn't like it one bit.

"Yeah we are" Rex growled, trying to end the conversation.

"Do you love her?" he pressed.

Rex rolled his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Yes Lux, I love Ahsoka. What more do you want me to say?"

"Does she love you?" Lux asked, his lip curled into a sly, sickening, smile.

Rex threw Lux a sideways look. He got all of the patience he could muster and took a deep breath.

"Yes" He growled, "Yes she does. Now what do you want?"

"Nothing" Lux mused with a "hurt" expression, "Why would you think I want something from you?"

Rex just shook his head and pushed forward. They came upon Garm's shop and a terrifying smile crept across the skrilling's face. Rex shivered and pushed his fear down. He shook it off and forced his feet to take him closer to the shop.

Garm gave a deep laugh, "Here for that ship?"

Rex nodded, "We've got the credits, now fulfill your end of the bargain"

"I don't see the credits," Garm remarked rudely.

Rex tossed the sack of credits on the table in front of a shocked Garm. He gave another hardy laugh before inspecting the money. He was about to put the credits into his pocket, but Rex snatched the bag out of his hands quickly.

"Hey!" Garm yelled.

"The ship, remeber?" Rex demanded.

Garm sighed before coming out from behind the stand.

"Follow me," Garm grunted.

They did as Garm said and he led them to a large area of land with a G8 Rigger class freighter. Rex gaped at the huge ship. He was surprised that Garm would even think about selling a ship like this. If they were so scarce around here, this was one lucky find. Even Lux looked surprised, he was obviously jealous. He looked at Rex in disgust, putting his nose up and turning away from the clone.

"Here she is," Garm snorted.

Rex quickly got some of the extra credits out of the sack and put them into his pocket. There was no way he was giving Garm any extra money, even for a great ship like this.

"I'll take it," Rex decided.

He handed the bag of credits to Garm, who took it graciously.

"Thanks Garm" Lux shouted to the skrilling who was already walking away.

"No problem Lux" he called back.

The two boys just stood there, admiring the ship for a bit.

"So now what?" Lux questioned.

"We fly the ship back to the camp" Rex decided.

The landing platform was already down, so they got on the ship with ease. Rex started the engine and fired the ship up. It purred and Rex smirked, pleased with how well the ship worked. He began to fly the ship back, Lux still thinking of his plan.

"I don't think Ahsoka loves you," he purred.

Rex growled an insult under his breath. This karking idiot doesn't know how to take a kriffing hint.

"Why do you say that?" he said, playing right into Lux's plan.

"I think she likes me" Lux cooed, running his fingers through his brown hair.

"How come?" Rex growled, drumming the steering handle with his fingers.

"She always talks to me, she helped me in the cave, we used to be good friends-" Lux started but Rex cut him off.

"She helped you because she's a good person, not because she likes you. And she's friends with everyone, she talks to everyone." Rex snarled.

"I just kinda have a feeling you know?" Lux mused.

Rex tightened his grip on the controls and focused on flying the ship.

"Your feelings are wrong" Rex growled, "Ahsoka loves me, not you"

Lux smirked, "If she loves you so much then why did she kiss me?"
