"What bets do we have?" Anakin asked.

"They are playing."

"They are arguing."

"Again."

"They are training."

"They are showing off."

"This is just their fighting."

"Kix will sedate them."

"Kix will shout then sedate them."

"Both will collapse of exhaustion."

"One will collapse of exhaustion."

"Neither will collapse of exhaustion."

"They'll kiss."

"They will not kiss."

"Didn't need to know that one," Anakin butted in.

"Sorry, General."

"Rex will tell us off for the bets."

"Commander Tano will tell us off for the bets."

"Both will tell us off."

"Neither will tell us off."

"Any more?" Anakin asked.

Fives grinned, "that is just the first page."

"I don't think I want to know what other bets there are," Anakin stated, running his hand down his face.

Flicking through the book, Fives grimaced, "best not, sir."

Anakin sighed, looking over at where Ahsoka and Rex were sparing. Sparing was an over sumptuous term; they were mostly throwing and catching punches.

Well, if you went through the bets, then;
One was partly right.
Two was not right.
Three was also partly right.
Four was not right.
Five was right.
Six was not right.
Seven was - big time.
Eight was right.
Nine was not right.
Ten was not right.
Eleven was not right.
Twelve was right.
Thirteen was not right.
Fourteen was not right.
Nineteen was not right.
Twenty was right.
And as Fives stated, that was just the first page.

"I get it, Kix," Ahsoka grinned.

"That sparring match said otherwise," Kix stated.

"It was barely a sparring match," Rex said.

"The betting book said otherwise," Kix crossed his arms.

"We were just testing where our muscles currently are," Ahsoka stated.

"We have been bed-bound for an extended period," Rex explained.

"And rightfully so!" Kix exclaimed, "you should be scarcely doing walking, let alone testing your muscles!"

"We feel fine, Kix," Ahsoka soothed.

"And that is the problem!"

"Why?"

"You have no care for your health!" Kix final snapped, paling once he realised what he said. "I-I didn't mean it-."

"Of course," Ahsoka answered stiffly.

"I didn't," Kix started before sighing, his body sagging, "you can go around, just don't try and overexert your muscles, your body has not recovered."

"Alright, Kix," Rex nodded as both Ahsoka and himself turned and left the medic to his thoughts.
