Osman overheard Jyn speaking to Skye about the date, but he decided to deal with it after talking to Jae, since any military briefing had to come first due to the fact that meetings like this decided the fate of millions, and this, to Osman at least, was a tad bit more important than fighting with some goon over a girl he liked, since it was the girl's decision to decide who was the better man...

Joe continued to stand there listening to what the SKS soldiers were saying. Joe gave a slight nod and spoke,
So do you guys have a shooting range around here?
Joe had been out of combat for about two months now. He knew he wasnt getting rusty but he always like to be in top form when it came to shooting.

The soldiers nodded and half even stood up, 'let's go practice together, dude!' Joe was astonished. He never saw this anywhere in the army- to everyone else he was merely a number, but now he's their brother...

Osman heard what Skye just said, and couldn't help standing from his seat, 'WHAT THE HELL!'
'What's wrong? Commander Mustapha?' Jae looked up at his comrade.
'Nothing sir, umm... nothing,' Osman was feeling back to his old self again. 'Details on the mission, please. The sooner it's done, the better.'

Joe and his new comrades walked out into the shooting range. Thier were some soldiers thier who seemed to be snickering when the SKS walked in. They were obviously laughing at the squad,as many of the regular military didnt think very highly of the SKS.Two punk military guys had started to push around a SKS soldier.
Joe walked over to the the punk soldiers and picked them both up with each hand. He held them high enough that he could look each of them in the face,then he spoke,
If i see the two of you pissants around here again Ill rip out both of your spinal cords and beat you with it. Understood?
The two soldiers looked scared for thier lives,in fact one of the soldiers even wet himself.
Ye-Yes sssirrrr!
The two punks ran back to thier barracks, Joe was curious if they would bring more men and start a fight,but then he turned his attention back to his team who all happened to be staring at him...

"Jyn...I need to go..." Skye whispered. "Can we finish this conversation later?"

Skye ran to her room, leaving Jyn behind. Osman waited for Jae to send him on a mission. However, Jae stood up, 'well, come back for briefing in 8 hours.'
'Yes sir.' Osman saluted and left, ignoring Jyn on the way, as he usually did.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the team saluted Joe and patted on his shoulder, when Osman burst in, not in the best mood. 'What's goin on?'
'Some punks were messin with Ryan and Joe taught em a lesson.'
'Regular army? Good work Joe.' Osman then walked away mumbling, 'stupid mofo bastard mother....'
'What's up with him?'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Skye answered to the knock on her door, to find Osman on the doorway, holding a flat box, 'hey Skye. Mind if I come in?'
She beckoned him in, and he entered, 'well I have seven hours free till I talk to Jae again for my mission. Therefore, we have time for the date I promised you. But before we make plans, is there anything you wanna talk to me about? Like, you know, Jyn, something like that?'

To say the least Jyn was pissed. He was mad at Skye for obviously ignoring Jyn. He was mad at Osman for being a jerk and stealing his girl. He was even a bit mad at Res,for not including him in the Mission Briefing in the command room. But most all Jyn was mad at himself. He had failed to rescue Skye.
"Damnit! I should have been the one to rescue Skye! Not that idiot Osman. If only i had not gone with Res to halp save Leylenne I would have been the one rescusing Skye,and I would be the one who she is in love with..." Jyn thought to himself then tried to shake it out of his head,
"No,its not Res's fault....Its my fault...I should have been able to help Res AND save Skye..."
Jyn sat down in the briefing room trying to contemplate on what to do next....
* * * * * Joe was getting along quite well with his new comrades at arms. Whenever the SKS would walk into the Mess hall thier werent any snickers or people laughing behind thier backs. It seems what happened at the shooting range got around the base quickly...
Joe was sitting down with his squadmates in the main barracks hoping that maybe they would see some action today.He was really curious to see how well the SKS actually performed in real combat, he also wanted to see if Osman was as skilled as they had said he was back on Coruscant....

"I...I don't know..." Skye said, hesitating.

Osman eyed Skye, waiting for her to say something in response, but she just stood there uncertain, rubbing her arm and pouting her lips, looking at the floor. Osman didn't want to push her or hurt her feelings, this wasn't an interrogation, although he felt like carrying one out on Jyn that was a bit more extreme than the one he did on the Sith Commander who was captured at Yavin IV...
Osman waited a while, and when he saw Skye getting nervous, he thought this was enough. He approached her and lightly held her shoulders, 'look, Skye, I'm not gonna force you into liking me, and I'll leave you to do the math. Skye, you're really important to me. You've been the reason I ever wanted to come back home from a mission.' Osman got a bit pissed at himself for spilling his guts so openly, so he stepped back a little. 'I'll be in my room after an hour. I got you an evening dress with some shoes and jewellry for the date. I know that looks a bit much, but it's tradition for courting where I come from. So, in a while I expect to see you, bringing the dress back to me or wearing it to go out with me. Peace.' Osman left the room.

Osman went into the mess hall, looking over and spotting Joe and the rest of the SKS sitting on one of the long benches. He went over to join them, 'food and a drink with the guys always did calm me down...'
The SK squad, including Joe, stood up straight and saluted their commander, who saluted them back. They all sat down, looking at Osman and noticing he wasn't in the best mood.
'It's a girl, ain't it?'
'Piss off, Ronan, not in the mood for dumb jokes.'
'Yeah, it's a girl...'
Osman looked up at the soldier, 'will you let me eat now?'
'Look sir, when a man and a woman love each other...'
'They usually get married but if the man's you he shrinks like a little mouse when she approaches him and runs off crying to his mama, and in your case would eventually marry the mama!'
Ronan sat turning pink with an 'owned' look on his face, showing an embarrassed grin as nearly everyone in the mess hall cracked out in laughter at Osman's barking. Osman sat, eating the fish chow chucked on his plate, 'so how was the shooting range guys? Showed the regulars who's the elite and who's, you know, regular?

Skye opened the box after Osman left. She bit her lip then smiled. She pulled the shoes on...put the jewelry on...then slid into the dress. She walked over to his rooms....she waited for a while...she hoped it wouldn't take to long...

The announcement came over the intercoms, so everyone in the comnpund could hear.
"General Solana requests all hands to the command room at once for mission briefing. That is all."
---------------------------------------------------
Res turned to Leylenne. "I have to..."
"I know," she said.
"I'll be back soon to make sure, I mean, if there's anything you need, I can see about getting it for you."
"Thank you Res, for everything."
He nodded and walked to the door. He turned back and said, "I'm just thankful that you're safe." He left and trotted quickly to the war room.

Osman stopped by his room on the way to the war room, seeing Skye waiting for him, completely dressed in the gear he got for her. 'Oh my god,' Osman wouldn't beleive it, 'you are... beautiful.' The dress was in Mon Calamari style, not too glitzy and not too casual, but the toning of the colour turqoise along with the jewellry made the wearer seem like an angel, gracefully rising from the waves.
He dressed up in his mess uniform- in Dantooine, where he came from, if you were in the army, you'd go out with your girl in your army uniform. The uniform was typical of SKS uniformy, completely black with golden buttons, red stars on the shouldera and a branched gold pattern lining the cuffs and sides of the pants, with a velvet military cap that was patterned similarly to the rest of the uniform.
They both walked hand in hand for their briefing, the first time ever that Osman didn't go formally marching as he usually did, and also the first time he was looking forward to doing something else before the mission.
On the way they saw Ragab, waving at Osman from a distance. 'Well, someone's a fast healer.'
Ragab arrived to the two officers and bowed in respect, 'thank you commanders Mustapha and Threteer for helping me back then...'
'No, Ragab, thank you.' Osman smiled as Ragab humbly shrugged, 'if it weren't for you, the sith wouldn't have had their ass kicked so hard... anyway, come with us to the briefing, you're a Jedi and your master's in the fight, so this involves you as much as it does everyone else.'
'Thank you, sir.'

"Youi're completely welcome. I owe you my thanks as well." Skye said.

Ragab gave a shy blush, 'oh welllll...' It was surprising for Skye to see such a fierce fighter seem so timid and friendly, especially after what they saw him doing on Coruscant.
Ragab couldn't help but notice how the two were dressed, 'what's the occasion?'

"A date." Skye answered.

Osman also replied, 'but after our briefing at the command room, for which we are getting late!'
Osman, Ragab and Skye reached the command room. Jae and Res stood together before several holographs, maps and holovids, whereas Jyn also stood in the room.
