Spa Day

He had just woken up from a bad dream. His heart was pounding and he was breathing heavily. He looked at the clock before cursing.

"Shit!"

He had slept in and was now late for Breakfast. He got out of bed and started getting ready quickly. He tried to brush his hair back, but it was tangled and a mess. He was definitely having a bad hair day.

He looked at the clock cursing again. Breakfast was almost over and he was really hungry. He ran to the mess hall ignoring the stares of his brothers.

When he got his food, He sat down at his usual table. Fives and Echo were the only ones still there. Fives jabbed him with his elbow and said.

"Woah, what happened to your hair?"

"I'm having a bad hair day, I can fix it later."

He went back to eating ignoring the other two. He felt really tired and had gone to bed late last night. Even though he had slept in today. It didn't do much.

When he was done eating, He went back to his bunk and grabbed his hair brush before going to the fresher.

There were a few brothers inside, but they ignored him. Which was fine with him. He didn't feel like talking.

He walked over to the mirror and blinked in suprise.

He looked horrible. His hair was a mess and he had big bags under his eyes. His face had broken out after sleeping with, his hair in his face.

Most of his brothers didn't have acne. It was something the Kaminoans had gotten rid of, but some of his brothers still got acne from mutations. He had one such mutation that caused him to have acne.

He groaned and put a hand on his face. Today was just not his day.

He winsed looking at the paint that was chipped and falling off his nails. His nails also looked really long and all scraggly.

He looked away from the mirror feeling like a hideous beast. He walked out of the room feeling hopeless.

His hair was so bad, he needed someone else to help him. He started looking around and asking different people for help. That was until he ran into his General.

"Sir."

"At ease Tup."

He put his hand down.

"Your hair is a mess."

"I know."

He tried to grit his teeth.

"Do you need help?"

He looked at him suprised before saying.

"Yes."

His General smiled before tugging him along. He watched as his General lead him to his room. His General opened the door and walked inside. He felt really nervous standing in his General's room. He looked over and found the man digging through his drawers before pulling something out.

"Here it is."

His General pulled out a brush and he looked at him confused.

"I already have a brush."

"I know, but this one is better with curly hair."

"Oh."

"Sit on the bed, let me get those knot's out."

He sat on the bed still feeling a little uncomfortable. His General grabbed some sort of spray and started spraying it into his hair.

"This is detangler, it helps make it easier to brush."

His General moved behind him and started brushing his hair. It hurt at first, but not as much as usual. His General was being gentle and trying not to hurt him.

He started ignoring the pain after a while and relaxed enjoying the feeling. His General's slim fingers moved through his hair and gently untangled knots.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of someone touching his hair. It felt really nice and he felt his skin tingle.

He slowly relaxed even more and began falling asleep while his General worked.

His General grabbed a hair doodle and put his hair into a bun.

"There, I'm all done."

He sleepily opened his eyes trying to blink away the fog.

"Thanks General."

"No problem, let's work on the acne next. I got these face masks from Padme. She says they do wonders on the skin."

"That's not necessary sir."

"It's alright Tup, I don't mind. Besides helping you is relaxing."

He looked at his General confused.

"When I'm helping you, It's easier to sink into the force."

"Oh."

He still didn't understand, but he wasn't going to say anything.

His General walked back over to the same drawer and pulled out two masks.

"Here this should help with acne and the bags under your eyes."

"Thanks General."

"Call me Anakin, were off duty."

He looked unsure for a moment before saying.

"Okay, Anakin."

Anakin beamed and handed him a mask. They both opened one and put it on there faces.

He laughed they both looked so weird. Anakin smiled and pulled out nail stuff.

"Do you mind if I do your nails?"

"Not at all."

Anakin grinned and started filing down his nails before painting them.

"Do you have a specific design in mind?"

"Hmm, maybe a tear drop on one nail."

"Okay, What color do you want your nails?"

"Definitely Blue."

Anakin concentrated on making sure his nails were perfect he relaxed and enjoyed the feeling. They were definitely going to do this again some time.

He slowly started falling asleep again. Anakin felt really relaxing and safe.

Anakin awoke him by lightly shaking his shoulder.

"Tup, I finished your nails. We need to take off the masks and rub the extra liquid onto our face before washing it off."

He slowly opened his eyes feeling groggy.

"Okay Anakin."

Anakin helped him up and they walked into the fresher.

He took off the mask and rubbed the liquid into his face while examining his nails in the mirror.

"Wow these look amazing."

Anakin blushed.

"Thank you."

He rinsed his face and dried it off before there was a knock on the door.

"Can you get it? I'm still rinsing off my face."

"Yeah."

He walked over and was surprised to see his Captain.

Rex looked at him confused.

"What are you doing here Tup?"

"The General helped me brush my hair. He also painted my nails."

Rex looked at his nails before saying.

"They look really nice Tup. I need the General to sign something."

"I'm coming."

He turned around to see his General walking over.

"Hey Rex."

"Hello Sir."

Anakin signed the paperwork before looking at Rex.

"How's your shoulder?"

"It's fine."

"Good to hear."

Rex looked at Tup before saying.

"You have patrol in 20 minutes."

"That's right, I forget about that. See you later General."

"Bye Tup, let's do this again some time."

"Definitely."

Tup ran off feeling happy and relaxed. His day had gotten a lot better and he didn't feel as tired. He was definitely going to have a spa day with his General again.
