Waxer and Boil kept cleaning the mess after everyone left for training. (and the kitchen too, Kenobi's orders) Waxer kept wiping the floor and sang into the mop. Boil looked up at him, tired.

"Seriously, Wax?" Boil growled at Waxer, who was on his knees screaming. "The General will be furious."

Waxer looked up. "I know, I know. But let's have fun. The longer we take, the more of the Commander's afternoon torture training we miss."

"You know what... let's just slow down then," Boil said while joining in on Waxer's song. The other punished clones soon joined in and the lights were turned off. Disco lights started flashing around the mess while the clones were jamming and talking about their punishments. Soon, they were done but they decided to act like they were working so they could miss more training.

In the gym, training was dismissed. Sal walked over to Cody, who was talking to an injured shiny. Cody told him to get rest, and the clone complied and saluted him.

"Where's Waxer and Boil?" Sal asked him. Cody shrugged.

"I don't know. Probably boycotting and doing another 'peaceful protest' by destroying the clone barracks," Cody laughed.

"That's not peaceful," Sal frowned.

"It is, in comparison to what the Wolfpack did to their medic when it was checkup time. Wolffe called those attacks 'nonviolent and necessary.'"

"Says the one who had a broken ankle and hid it from the medics," Sal coughed. Cody frowned and Sal laughed.

"Well, let's go to the mess, then," Cody said while making sure all the men were out before turning off the lights. Kenobi was waiting for them outside and greeted them.

"Hello there, Sal and Cody," he greeted.

"Hello, General Kenobi," Cody said while walking past. Sal smiled and waved at Kenobi. He walked behind them and they went to the mess. About halfway there, all three of them heard obnoxious yelling. Almost like hundreds of people screaming. The three looked at each other and started running to the mess. Kenobi made it first, with Cody and Sal right behind him. The door was closed to the mess. Kenobi reached out in the force and Sal did the same. The door opened and hundreds of clones were screaming a song. They were passing around drinks and some seemed to be sleeping.

"Waxer... Boil... I will kill them," Cody grumbled under his breath.

"Remember when you said that I was going to be doing clone watching duty later, Cody? I will need some, wait, a ton of help," Sal laughed.

"I can help," Kenobi offered.

Cody turned on the lights and the men all turned around to look at him. Someone started walking towards him, and it was a nearly intoxicated Waxer.

"Hello, Commander! Here to join?" Waxer asked.

"Um, no, in fact, it's the opposite," Cody replied.

"The boys are waiting for you," Waxer added, trying to persuade the Commander.

"Um, you guys locked the door. You didn't want me in to stop your party," Cody laughed.

"You won't be able to stop it now, most of everyone is drunk," a shiny who was taped to a table shouted. Waxer walked over to Cody and grabbed the clone's arm. Cody tried to free himself but Waxer kept quite a grip. Some of the men were playing truth or dare and he saw Kenobi joining the circle. On the other side of the room, Sal was making sure the sober shinies were okay and got their food. Waxer and Cody walked over to the truth or dare circle and it was Boil's turn.

"Wooley. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," the shiny yelled.

"Are you addicted to Diet Cola?" Boil asked.

"Yeah, I thought everyone knew that," Wooley laughed. Wooley then looked at Waxer.

"Truth or Dare, Waxer?" he asked Obi.

"Truth!" Waxer shouted.

"What is your favorite color?"

"Um, Orange? Now, Truth or Dare, General Kenobi."

Obi looked up and smiled. "Truth, I don't trust you all enough."

The nearby clones and Kenobi watched Waxer crawl over to Cody. The Commander started fighting and Waxer held him in a headlock. Cody tried to break free but Waxer just kept his grip tighter. Kenobi already knew what was going to happen.

"Do you love this pretty boy?" Waxer laughed. Cody suddenly was glad that Obi picked truth. He already knew what the dare was. Kenobi turned red and quietly whispered something.

"What did you say?" Waxer asked.

"Yes. I said yes," Kenobi said. Waxer cheered and let go of Cody, who started coughing from the hold. He sat up and Waxer went back to his spot.

"It's your turn, Cody! Dare or Doubledare?" Kenobi asked. Waxer and Boil looked at each other and knew what Obi was going to do.

"Truth."

"That's not an option."

"I don't like this game. Truth. That's my final answer, sir."

"Dare it is then!" Waxer cheered.

"I said truth!"

"That's not an option, Cody," Kenobi sighed.

"Fine whatever."

"I dare you to go out with me," Kenobi dared. Waxer and Boil squealed.

"It's a dare, and if I am dared I have to go through with it," Cody sighed. Waxer and Boil screamed for Sal who came running over.

"THEY ARE GOING ON A DATE TOGETHER, SAL!" Waxer shouted.

"It was a dare, Waxer," Cody laughed.

Sal congratulated them and Cody asked a nearby shiny what his favorite planet was for a Truth.

Obi pulled Cody to himself and the Commander looked up at him. "Hmm?"

"Are we dating?"

"You didn't ask me to be your boyfriend, no. Only on a date."

"If only you chose Doubledare."

"I didn't even choose Dare. I chose Truth! And why was I even playing that game?"

Sal laughed. "You catfishing Cody now, Master?"

"He's mine... all mine now..." Obi purred while petting Cody's head.

"Um, I don't know what to say about this anymore," Cody sighed.

"I know this restaurant in Coruscant that has good fruit punch. We can go there!" Obi said. "Tonight, even!"

"Let's just get this over with."

Obi cheered and grabbed Cody. Sal watched her Master pull Cody out of the mess. She looked around the mess and realized that she was the only sane person in the whole mess. She groaned and started getting clones out of trouble.
