Concept: Fives And Echo Decide To Pull A Prank On Rex Not Too Long After They Become 501st. They Decide

concept: fives and echo decide to pull a prank on Rex not too long after they become 501st. They decide to go for the obvious: pink hair dye in his shampoo.

Everything works out the way they want, they get the dye in undetected, Rex uses it without realising and ends up with a bubblegum pink buzz cut.

So he comes out of the shower and Fives and Echo are giggling and pointing, except none of the other brothers around are even batting an eye and that includes Rex, who’s now standing in front of the mirror shaving.

The twins look around all confused as their Captain puts on his armour and gets ready as though it’s just another Tuesday.

When he walks out Fives whispers “What the fuck?” and finally one of the older troopers decides to explain:

“Pretty much every rookie we’ve ever gotten has pulled the hair dye prank on Rex. Personally, I went with green. He doesn’t really care because he shaves it once a week anyway. Also, pink isn’t the most original choice.”

Meanwhile at the mess, Rex is sitting down for breakfast and reports with Cody.

“Tano again?”

“No, the shinies from last week.”

“Hm. And they went with pink?”

“Yeah, I thought they were more creative than that. You still want ‘em?”
