Roxy's Heart (part 1/?)

(Someone suggested I write Roxy finally having a significant other, and here I am doing it!)

*********************************************************************************

Roxy had been thinking about it for a while, it had been two years since she joined the rebels and was reunited with her brothers and best friend. While she enjoyed fighting beside them again, she felt a longing within her, like she could finally let go and do her own thing. Like she could finally live again.

She walked into the briefing room of the base on Atollon, taking in her surroundings, she saw Rex and Ahsoka talking with Hera Syndulla around the holo-projector. Rex turned to look at his younger sister, though she was really beginning to show her age, but thirty-something looked good on her. "Rex, Ahsoka, I need a moment with you two." said Roxy, the two nodded at the pilot, and they walked into the hall together. "What's on your mind, Vod'ika?" he asked, Roxy took a moment to gather her thoughts.

"These last couple years have been some of the best, since our days in the GAR of course, but...I feel like I spent so much time grieving or running from the law, fighting for my life, that I never really had time to live my own life, do my own thing. It's always been do this, do that, kill him, fight that war, and I feel like I'm in a place where I can finally go out and do something more rather than shooting and killing, y'know?" 

Rex understood what she meant, "I may not be mentally stable, hell never have been, never will be. But I wanna go do my own thing, try to at least." she added, "Well, as much as I'll miss you, it's a good idea, you deserve to do your own thing and live a life that's your own." Rex replied. Roxy smiled and hugged her brother, "I wish you nothing but luck, Roxy" Ahsoka spoke up with a kind smile upon her features. 

"Thank you." Roxy said with nothing honesty in her voice. "I think it's best I leave soon, otherwise I might change my mind." 

So, Roxy pulled the pair into a hug and  began walking to her quarters to pack, and Ezra walked in. "What can I do for you, kid? I'm a bit busy." She said, not taking her eyes off packing her belongings, "Where are you going?" asked the padawan, "I'm....leaving for a while. Not forever, just until I feel like I've lived enough." She explained. "I'll miss you." Ezra said, "I know kid, but I will come back." She replied.

There wasn't going to be any farewell party, just everyone seeing Roxy off as she embarked on her own adventure. She had everything that she would need packed in her trunk, and it was on her ship. She figured she'd be living out of her ship for a while, so she made sure she packed plenty of provisions. She stepped off the ship to a teary eyed Rex, she gave him a sad smile, but an idea came to mind. "Here." She said as she held out one of her blaster pistols, "You take one of mine, and I take one of yours. That way we always have a piece of each other." She explained, Rex did as she said and hugged her as tight as he could.

She hugged Ahsoka, and bid farewell to all the rest of her friends, she took one last look at them, and waved before shutting the door of her ship and heading to the cockpit. The engines whirred to life, and she took off, heading wherever she felt. She didn't cry leaving her family this time, because she wasn't leaving them this time, not really.

After a week, Roxy finally stopped on Tatooine, she wasn't too worried about bounty hunters anymore, seeing as it had been years since The Siege of Madalore. Plus she looked a bit different then she did back then, and she wore a scarf to hide a portion of her face anyways. 

She was buying produce from a market stall in the outer parts of the city, when she felt something, it was like she was being watched, or followed. She took an innocent glance around, no one looking particularly out of place, for Tatooine that is, so she paid the shop keeper and walked away, still having the feeling, she turned down an alley, if she was going to kick someone's ass into next week better to do it somewhere she won't get in trouble.
