Hux's POV

I haven't seen Crystal since the day that I had to drug my Precious Star-sweeper. Today is to be her first day of school. I am not sure she's ready. She still acts like a toddler at times and I have to continually remind her that she's a big girl. Technically she's 5 1/2 but her memory never fully returned after she was injured.

She still thinks that she's only 2 1/2-3 years old. The medical droids seem to continue to think that her memory will return in time. At least she willingly calls me daddy now, and has stopped insisting that Kylo Ren is her father. In fact, I don't think that she even remembers Kylo Ren at all, for which I'm grateful.

The only problem I face with my little Star
Sweeper, is that she is so clingy. Especially when she is in her infant to toddler mind frame. Sometimes it frustrates me and I find myself trying extremely hard not to yell at her. Often if I do loose my temper with her, she shrinks back from me in fear as if she's worried that I might hurt her. Usually this results in her returning to her infant age.

That's the other problem that I'm worried about. Since her mind frame ranges from infant to 5 1/2 she often has issues with properly using the bathroom when she needs too. Which results in her having to wear diapers/ pull ups. What if she has an accident in class?

How will the teachers respond? I look as the clock and sigh. It's time to get her up for school. I know this is going to be quite a hassle. Tina really isn't a morning person and she can have quite a temper tantrum if woken up in the wrong manner.

"Wake up my little star sweeper. You have a very big day ahead of you." I say as I gently shake her shoulder. She rolls over and yawns and rubs her eyes.

"What time is it daddy?" She asks as she yawns and stretches once more.

Now here comes the part I'm going to dread because I know that she isn't going to like this one bit. "it's 6:30 am little one."

"Why you wake me up so eawly (early)?" She asks with another yawn and semi stretch and a cute little pout. "Me still sweepy (sleepy). She replies rolling back over.

"Oh no no no little one, you can't go back to sleep." I gently scold her and she pouts at me and crosses her arms which usually indicates that she's irritated. I sigh "I know it's early little one but it's time to get ready for your very first day of school." I reply as I pick her up out of her crib.

I bought her a toddler bed but she refused to use it. She doesn't like change and anything new makes her feel anxious. So I reluctantly allowed her to sleep in her crib for the time being. Hopefully she will grow out of it in time.

"School? Me no old nough (enough) for school." She replies with a frown.

"Now Star sweeper, we've been over this. You are 5 1/2 and I can't keep you out of school any longer."

"Me no five. Me two." She replies with a pout her arms still crossed in irritation.

"Come on Tina, I thought you promised that you'd try and be daddy's big girl today?" I ask pretending to sound disappointed/sad. I know she hates it when I'm feeling that way and she always tries to cheer me up. So I give her a slight pout and tremble my lower lip as if I'm going to cry.

"Don't cwy (cry) Daddy, Me twy.(Try)" She replies yawning once more and I smile and kiss her forehead.

"That's my big girl." Once she is dressed we head to the mess hall for breakfast.

"Oh General Who is this little one?" One is the lady officer's coo at Tina who's eyes darken and a frown appears on her face.

"Me not whittle! Me big!!" She says stomping her feet in irritation.

The lady smiles and winks at me. "I'm sure you are a very big girl. How old are you little one? Aren't you the cutest little two year old I've ever seen. Where are you going dressed up all fancy little one?" The lady asks and Tina let's out a low growl her eyes flashing with anger.

The plates and silverware start to shake on the nearby tables. "Me not two, me is five and a half! Me not a baby!" She yells at the lady who stumbles back in surprise.

I know that I have to calm Tina down. Or she will loose her temper and that would be extremely bad. "Star Sweeper, do you remember what I told you to do when you get upset?"

"Count to ten backwawds." She replies and I nod at her she takes a deep breath and begin to slowly count down to one. 

"Now tell daddy what made you so angry." I ask her so I can try and avoid this problem in the future.

"She kept calling me a wittle. (Little) cute baby. Me no wittle (little) me big!" Tina replies with a pout and I nod at her. Wight Daddy?" She asks looking at me confused.

"Yes my star sweeper, you are a big girl.  Before you know it you'll be wanting to take flying lessons, wanting to go out on dates with boys, getting married..." I reply starting to get teary eyed at the thought of her growing up so quickly. I wipe the tear away and I smile at her cute scrunched up face.

"Yucky! Me not get mawwied! Me no wike boys." She replied and I can't help but laugh. She frowns at me "what so funny?"

"Star Sweeper, you know daddy's a boy right?"

"No you not. You my daddy. Daddy can't be a boy." She replies mater of factly that it makes me laugh once more and sigh in contentment.

"Alright, if you say so my little star sweeper."
I reply bopping her on the head causing her to giggle. However, the closer we approach to the school the more nervous I can tell my little girl is getting.

She tugs on my coat sleeve. "Daddy me no want to go to school. Me scawed."  She looks up at me with fear in her eyes.

"You are going to be fine. I have asked Captain Phasma to come and check on you throughout the day. If you really feel uncomfortable and you want to go home you can, but I really want you to try. Just for a little while."

"Me no want too." She replies her eyes filling with tears. I sigh I know full on water works are going to be coming any second now. Followed by a huge temper tantrum which could result in things going flying.

"Hello Hux. Having a little trouble with your little one?" Kylo asks sounding somewhat amused underneath his helmet.

"We are fine.  Just some first day of school jitters. Nothing I can't handle. Now Tina, I've had enough of this foolishness! Now get up and let's get going. Your going to school and that's final!" I reply sternly.

She looks up at me with a scowl a low growl
emanating from her throat. Her eyes flashing in anger once more causing me to sigh. I don't want another episode like what happened at breakfast to occur, but I have to stand my ground. Especially in front of my arch rival.

Again Kylo chuckles in amusement. "Tina Marie Rosealynn Hux! You are trying my patience! You are being a very bad little girl!" At this, Tina burst into tears and begins to wail.

"Wonderful job you're doing Hux." Kylo chuckles in amusement and I glare at him and then over at Tina in frustration. She's embarrassing me. I clench my fist in anger and start to walk away leaving her crying in the middle of the floor. But then I come up with an idea.

"Actually Kylo, for once you actually can be of assistance to me. I have an idea. If you do exactly what I tell you, this problem will be solved instantly. That is, if the Great Kylo Ren is capable of following orders." Kylo growled slightly but nods in agreement knowing that we have to do something.

"Tina you need to get up right now." I warn. Trying to reach for her but she shoves me away.

"No! Me hate you! You meanie! You make me act like me big. Me not big! Me baby! Me a baby! Me only two!" She replied begging to cry once more.

"Tina, you promised that you'd be a good big girl and go to school. You wouldn't be breaking that promise would you? Because only bad boys and girls break their promises. Did you know that their is a big scary monster that lives on this base?"

"The monster searches for bad boys and girls that he can snatch away to his Kingdom? He will keep you there forever and every day he will come up with new ways to punish you." Tina doesn't reply she just continues to sit in the middle of the floor and cry. "Alright, don't say that I didn't warn you."

I reply nodding towards Kylo who storms down the corridor. Till he is standing directly in front of her. "What do we have here? A bad little girl?"

She glances up to see Kylo hovering over her. "Me no bad." She whimpers.'

Kylo scoffs at her. "Oh? Then what are you?"

"Me a good girl." She replies glancing around to see if she can spot me. I can tell she's starting to get worried.

"A good girl? Humm? Do you realize how much of a disturbance you've caused this morning with your behavior young lady?" Kylo asks sternly. "

"Me sowwy." She replies and once again I can see her scanning the room searching for me. I make sure I stay out of sight. When she can't spot she she starts to cry. "Daddy no wobe me no mowa. Him pwomise no weabe me but he wied (lies).

"I can understand why. You are being a very bad little girl. Only bad boys and girls tell lies. Besides if you were a good girl you'd already be at school, but your not. Your just sitting here disturbing all these nice adults. Do you know what I do to bad little boys and girls?" Tina shakes her head as tears start filling her eyes.

"I take them away to a magic kingdom, where they are punished night and day and no matter how sorry you are, you will never stop being punished." Kylo replied igniting his lightsaber and pointing it at her.

"Your tears will get you nowhere. You really should have kept your promise to be a big girl and go to school. If you had, then maybe I would have been summoned. Now you belong to me. You'll be trapped in my kingdom forever, never to see your father again." Kylo says grabbing ahold of her hand. I can see the look of absolute terror on her face.

Tina whimpers and searches the room once more and when she see me she dashes to her feet and runs behind me. I try to hide my amusement. "Why whatever is the matter Tina?"

"Me scawd daddy. Me tought you weabe me. Dat you no wobe me no mowa. Him say he agwee dat he wowd weabe me too if me was his, cause he no wike bad kids. He says me was being bad. Him said him going to take me away fowm you fowebas. Me neba get to see you again and he gonna punish me fowaebas."

"Me sowwy me say me hate you. Me no hate you Me wobe you. Please don't let the bad man take me away... She replied with a slight whimper and sniffle. "Pwease make him go away. You can can't you?" She says tearfully beginning to sob.

"Shhhh. Hush now my little Star Sweeper, it's alright. I won't let the bad man take you away. Your my good little girl and I love you very much. I know that you didn't mean what you said." I reply walking up to Kylo.

"My little star sweeper, is a good girl. She's on her way to go to school to learn her Alphabet and numbers and lots of other fun stuff too. Your not needed or wanted here anymore, so shoo!" Kylo grunts and walks off and I smile down at her. "Come take my hand."

Instead of taking my hand Tina looked up at me sadly and sniffled. "Uppy Da da?" She asked pleadingly. I sighed I knew I was going to regret this later, but I knelt down and picked her up. She immediately buried her head in my chest, refusing to look at anyone.

She was still trembling and I could tell that she was still very scared. Maybe I shouldn't have had Kylo say what he did. Maybe I went too far when I hid from her. Once we got closer to the academy Tina wanted down and took my hand.

Tina POV

I was still scawed about being at school without daddy, but I knew I had to twy. I looked at the lady supwised she looked and sounded just like my mommy. "Come say hello to the class, and then take a seat next to Charity." The lady said.

I shook my head no and twied to hide behind the lady who frowns slightly. "Mommy?"

"What did you just call me?" Crystal asked looking down at her in confusion.

"Mommy." I replied again looking up at her.

Crystal POV

I shook my head and groaned when the new student called me mommy. Suddenly tons of memories were rushing through my head all at once. One memory in particular filled me with anger. I saw Kylo Ren waving his hand and my blacking out. I heard him order me to forget. Forget our relationship, forget our daughter, forget my hatred of her, forget everything.

I glanced over at the girl and was suddenly filled with anger. She had done this to me. It was her fault that I lost my memory. I didn't care if I was her mother, at that moment the only emotion I could feel towards this small fragile little girl was anger and hatred.

"Your a very stupid little girl. I am not, nor have I ever been your mother." I heard the other students snicker at her and upon seeing the look of hurt in Tina's eyes for a split second I felt a tinge of regret. However, I quickly brushed it aside. This was a lesson that Tina had to learn. You can't rely on anyone. "Take your seat." I hissed at her.

Tina POV

I looked up at my mother in confusion tears threatening to fall. Why was she pwetending  that she didn't know me? "Why you being so mean?" I demanded angrily stomping my feet.

The other students began to giggle at my behavior and I could tell that it was beginning to irritate my mother. "That is enough of that young lady! Now either you go sit down this instant, or I will have to punish you. That would be a shame, since it's only your first day." Mrs. Stormragger replied.

I stuck my tongue out at her in response before reluctantly heading to my seat. A few seconds later I found myself being dragged back up front. "How dare you treat me with such disrespect! I won't tolerate it! Especially not from a spoiled little brat like you." The lady weplied gwanbbing me woughly.

"Wet go! Ouch! You huwting me." I weplied twying to pull my hand away.

"Don't you dare tell me what to do young lady! You will not (smack), talk back to me (smack), in my classroom. You are not (smack) at home. I won't (smack) tolerate behavior of this kind. (Smack) let this be an example of all of you. (Smack) If you are disruptive (smack) or disrespectful (smack)."

"I won't hesitate to punish you." At this I could no longer contain my tears and I began to cry. "Now I will have none of that. You brought this on yourself. (Smack) now take your seat young lady! Or do I need to continue (smack) punishing (Smack) you?" She demanded.

"NO. Me want me daddy. Him no wet you hit me." I yelled loudly at the lady who laughed at me in reply.

"This is my classroom and I will punish you as I see fit." The lady replied with a smirk.

"Me hate you." I replied with a slight growl.

She laughed again. "You think I care? You are a big baby. Go ahead and cry. Makes no difference to me. In fact, go ahead and sit here and throw a fit. It's a perfect example to your classmates, how not to behave." The lady replied with a laugh.

How dare she hit me and then laugh at me! I seethed angrily my eyes tuwning red. The rooms started shaking. Suddenly, I felt a stinging sensation burning my cheeks. The lady had slapped me.

At this, I let out a low whining sound. "Me want my daddy!" I wailed placing my thumb in my mouth to try and stop crying. I hated crying in front of people. At this, the entire class burst into laughter and made fun of me.

"Look at the big baby!" One student laughed.

"I bet she still wears diapers." Another replied causing me to blush slightly. I only wore them when I needed them.

"Your a Big Baby. Your a Big Baby." The class stawted chanting at me. I fwond at them. They were being mean. I looked up at the lady who just laughed in amusement.

Hux POV

After dropping Tina off, I was about to head out to do my rounds when a staff member came running towards me. "General! General please wait!"

"Now what?" I grumble with a frustrated sigh.

"We are having a slight problem with your daughter..."

"Already? It hasn't even been five minutes! What trouble could she have possibly gotten herself into in less then five minutes?"

"I was not informed of the situation. In was just asked to try and catch up with you and escort you the Headmaster's office immediately." The lady replied completely of breath.

"Ah General Hux, I am so sorry to disturb you. I know that you are a very busy man."

"What seems to be the problem Headmaster? Tina hasn't even been here for five minutes yet."

"I'm afraid that She's being very disruptive to the class."

"This isn't something the teacher can't handle?"

"I'm afraid not. Your daughter seems to think that she doesn't have to obey the academy rules. She threatened the teacher, saying that she couldn't discipline her, or you'd throw us all in prison."

I groaned and pinched the bridge between my eyes and nose. I knew that I'd wind up with a headache before the end of the day. "What exactly was she accused of doing?"

"Mrs. Stormragger didn't go into details. She mentioned something about swearing at her and then acting like a baby when scolded. She informed me that Catherina isn't mentally ready to be in the academy, and asked that we contact you to remove her from the premises." The Headmaster replied.

I frowned my daughter didn't know any swear words. Something was definitely wrong. "Tina."

Tina's eyes light up at the sight of me. "Daddy."

"Tina, what have you done?" I asked sternly.

"Nothing. Me been good."

"That's not what the faculty told me. They said that you swore at your teacher and stuck your middle finger up at her. Then threw a temper tantrum when she punished you for your behavior.

"Dats not twue daddy." Tina replied.

"Tina, you know I don't like it when you lie to me." I warned sternly.

"Me not wying  Daddy. Me no want bad man to come take me away. Me been good like me pwomised Me would." Tina replied.

"We will discuss this later. I have to get back to work. You will apologize to your teacher and classmates, and you will do as your told. I don't want to have to come back here until it's time to pick you up from school, is that clear young lady?"

"Wes daddy."

"If I have to come back here again before then, You will be punished. I shall send Captain Phasma to check in on you later. She will give me a full report on your behavior, so I suggest you behave." I replied.

"Wes daddy."

"Good." With that I turned and left the room. A little while later I arrived to inspect the troops. I began to wonder if I had been too hard on my little Starsweeper. "Phasma can you go check on Catherina's progress? I still have a lot of rounds to do."

"It would be my pleasure and honor General. I shall inform you of her progress shortly."

Meanwhile, back at the school Tina had apologized to Mrs. Stormragger who grunted in reply. "Tina who is the leader of the First Order?"

"Me don't know." Tina replied quietly.

"Tina, come here right now!"

Reluctantly I did as I was told. My eyes going wide at the sight of a belt in the lady's hand. I began to cry quietly.

"I don't like (smack) that (smack) attitude (smack) of yours young lady! When I ask you a question (Smack) I expect (smack) an answer!"

"Me sowwy. Me not know. Please stop mommy." I begged.

Her gaze gaew dark "I told you multiple times, (smack) I am not, (smack) your mother! (Smack).

"Me sowwy." I weplied twying not to cwy.

(Smack) You should know your alphabet by now! (Smack) What comes after the letter Q?"

"Me not know me awphabet. Dats why daddy sent me heya. You is supposed to teach me how to wead, & wite." I replied.

"How dare you (smack) sass me (Smack) young lady! Don't you dare (smack) tell me (Smack) how to do my job! (Smack) The next time I ask you a question, (Smack) I expect you to answer properly (smack) is that clear?" I sniffled and nodded my head. "Now get back to your seat you good for nothing little brat!"

Phasma POV

I entered the classroom just in time to hear the teacher yelling at Tina. "Get back to your seat you good for nothing little brat!" I heard her yell at the little princess. I watched Tina limp back to her seat tears filling her sweet little eyes. "What is going on here?" I demanded angrily I demanded slamming the door behind me.

"Just teaching one of my students a lesson." The teacher replied with a shrug.

I frowned and clenched my fist in anger. I wanted to put this teacher in her place but before I could do that I had to know exactly what had happened. I knew that Tina most likely wouldn't talk to me about it in front of her teacher.

"Tina please come with me, I'd like to have a word with you." I called to her and her classmates began to snicker behind her.

"Oooo, she's in for it now." I heard one say to the student next to them.

Tina looked over at the teacher nervously. I could tell that she was afraid of how her teacher would respond. "It's alright Tina, I can assure you, I outrank your teacher. Please gather your things and come with me."

Tina bowed her head and whimpered slightly as she gathered her things. Taking her hand, I lead her to a small room. "Why were you crying when I came in to check on you?" I asked her.

"You won't beliebe me." She replied sadly.

"Try me." I replied.

"The wady called me a bwat. She spanked me. Den she sent me to my seat. She asked me a question, but she didn't wike me wesponse. Den she get mad and said me shouwd know me awphabet by now."

"She ask me what comes after de letta Q. Me say me not know me aphabet that she supposed to teach me it she swapped me and den she spanked me with a bewt, and said me was saying wies." Tina replied with a sniffle.

"She did what?" I growled angrily causing Tina to whimper.

"You not going to tell daddy awa you?" Tina asked me her eyes wide with fear.

"Yes I am." I replied causing Tina to immediately start crying.

"Pwease don't. Daddy will get angwy witfh me. He said if he has to come back befowa school is oba he'd punish me." Tina whimpered.

"Shhh. It's alright. Your father expects me to return to him shortly with a report on your progress. However, I don't want you returning to the academy until that teacher is removed from duty. Do you want to come with me to see your father?"

Tina shook her head fear showing in her sweet little eyes. "How about this, I'll have a stormtrooper escort you back to your quarters and stay with you until your father returns home from his shift." I replied trying to comfort her.

"Otay." She whispered as she took my hand. When she spotted Kylo Ren she began to hyperventilate. "Oh no. Him going to take me away fwom daddy cause Me was bad." She began to whimper.

"Shh. Lord Ren would never take you away from your father." I replied slightly confused as to why she would think that.

"But me been bad. Me not stay at schoow wike daddy said to do. Daddy wawn that he'd come back if Me was bad." Tina replied pointing to Kylo Ren.

"It's alright little one. Your a very good little girl. You've done nothing wrong. He won't hurt you." Phasma replied.

"Pwomise?" Tina asked worriedly.

I nod at her. "Lord Ren won't be angry with you for not being at school because your with me."

Tina POV

While we were heading home I spotted the man who said he'd take me away if is was bad and began to worry. Would he see me and take me away for being bad since I wasn't in school? Captain Phasma said that he wouldn't.

It didn't take us long to arrive at home. On the way a man in white followed us. "I am going to leave Stormtrooper TMR6141983 with you. I have to return to my rounds." Phasma told me and I nodded.

Hux POV

I looked up to see Phasma heading in my direction. I could tell by her stance that something was bothering her. As she approached I looked at her in concern. "I take it your visit to the academy did not go well?"

"No General it did not." Phasma replied in her metallic voice.

I sighed as I rubbed my temples. "What did Tina do now?"

"Would you like a full report or a synapses?"

"Give me a full report." I replied as we continued to walk down the corridors checking on the employees status.

Phasma sighed "when I arrived at the classroom I found Tina crying in the corner. I decided to speak with her in private so not to disturb the rest of the class."

"What was she crying about this time?" I asked with a sigh and a slight hint of irritation.

"The teacher had punished her in front of the entire class."

"I thought I told her to behave." I grumbled in irritation not liking where this report was going.

"She was behaving General. From what I understand, the teacher punished her for no reason." Phasma replied.

"If the teacher had to punish her after I left, then she wasn't behaving." I replied.

"As far as I'm concerned, that teacher needs to be removed from her position. People like her have no right to be teaching our young ones." Phasma replied.

"A teacher has every right to punish a student when they are misbehaving." I replied with an irritated sigh.

"I agree. However, there is a fine line between punishing a child and physical abuse." Phasma replied.

"What do you mean physical abuse?"

"Tina was very reluctant to tell me what was going on. From what I can, tell the teacher has continuously verbally abused Tina from the moment she was dropped off at the classroom. Calling her names such as spoiled little brat, freak among other names, that I won't repeat."

"I tried to reassure her that she was none of those things, and that she had done nothing to deserve to be punished in such a brutal manner. However, I have a feeling that she does not believe me."

I frowned what would give Tina the impression that she is a freak? Unless some of her memories had returned. I sighed as I remember learning that Tina's mother Crystal had taught Tina that her abilities were evil and that she must never use them. That people would not understand them and they would want to hurt her.

She had also convinced Tina that the reason I wasn't around when she was younger was because I was ashamed of her abilities. That I didn't love her and could never love a freak like her. That she was a very bad little girl and deserved to be punished continually. Could those memories have returned?"

"Oh and General, Tina seems to have a strange fear of Lord Ren. She saw him when we were heading to your quarters and she immediately started hyperventilating. She seems to think that he's some evil creature who has come to take her away from you and punish her for being a bad girl."

"I guess we really scared her this morning." I replied with a chuckle.

"Humm?"

"It's nothing. I will speak with her about that later tonight. Thank you for being concerned for Tina's Welfare. Ever since the disappearance of her mother she has had no Female interaction. I know that she looks up to you. I wouldn't be surprised if she saw you as a mother figure." Hux replied with a sigh.

Phasma nodded "I almost forgot Tina's teacher looks and sounds a lot like her mother."

"I'll look into that. Thanks again Phasma for everything."

"It is my pleasure." Phasma replied before turning and leaving.

When I arrived home Tina was asleep in her crib. "How was she?" I asked the Stormtrooper worried that she might have been a handful.

"She was an angel. She did get a bit cranky at one point so I gave her some warm milk and put her down for a nap. Would you like for me to wake her?"

"No let her sleep a little while longer. I hate to inconvenience you I know you were supposed to be relieved of duty when I arrived back home. Would you mind watching Tina for a little while longer?"

"Not at all General. In fact, I wouldn't mind if taking care of that little angel became my permanent position." The Stormtrooper replied.

"Thank you ummm???"

"TMR6141983 Sir."

"I shouldn't be gone long." With that I turned and left heading to the academy to have a word with that teacher.

"Captain Phasma came and removed your daughter from the school earlier today. I hope she is ok?"

I chose to ignore the question and responded with one of my own. "Tell me Headmaster, when did the school policy concerning physical punishment change?" I replied with a frown.

"We don't condone physical punishments in this academy. It's against our policy and cause for immediate termination. All of our staff are aware is this policy." The Headmaster replied.

"Obviously your new faculty member either forgot this rule or has chosen to ignore it." I replied irritatedly.

"I shall launch a full investigation concerning this accusation immediately. I assure you General, we will get to the bottom of this."

"I'd like to speak with Mrs. Stormragger if that is possible. Do you know where I might be able to locate her?"

"She should still be in her classroom."

"Thank you Headmaster, that will be all." With that I walked over to the room he had pointed too. "Excuse me, I was wondering if I might be able to speak with you for a moment?" When Mrs. Stormragger turned around I was shocked. "Crystal?" I whispered.

"General Hux, I have heard so much about you. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" Mrs. Stormragger asked as she stacked papers on her desk.

"It has come to my attention that you physically punished a student in your class today. Not only did you physically punish the student, but you did so in front of her peers. This is unacceptable, I am sure you are aware of the academy's policy on the matter."'Hux replied.

"Yes. Though I have to admit, that I strongly disagree with it. My mother and father use to say, spare the rod and you spoil the child. A simple slap on the wrist is not going to do any good. No. Disobedient students need physical punishment, or they will never learn to
respect authority."

"That is not your decision to make."

"Ahh but it is. I know that Tina is my daughter. As her mother, I can punish her as I see fit. I think it's about time that she returns home with me, where she belongs."

"That is not going to happen. I was just starting to build her self esteem after all the abuse you put her through, when she was younger and you have to go and pull a stunt like this! Honestly Crystal, you can be extremely childish sometimes!"

"She is my daughter and I am well within my rights to punish her as I see fit. She will never learn to behave, if I'm not strict with her. I have to punish her like I would any other student or her fellow classmates will grow to resent her." Crystal replied.

"So you intend to continue to use physical contact as a form of punishment despite it being against the academy policy?"

"Like I said, the policy is wrong. Spare the rod spoil the child. So yes, I intend to use physical punishments, if and when I deem it necessary." Crystal replied.

"Then I shall ensure that you are immediately removed from the academy. It seems to
Me, like you could use a trip to reconditioning."

"Re- what now?" Crystal asked her eyes going wide in shock. She didn't know what that mean but she was sure that it would most likely be painful.

"Reconditioning. It's a treatment to remind you the cost of disloyalty to the First Order.  Questioning and refusing to follow simple regulations, will put your loyalty in question. Reconditioning ensures that whatever it is that is causing you to be disobedient is removed."

"So your going to what? Use programs
and simulations to change my personality? My way of thinking? Your going to remove what makes me an individual? In essence, take away my sense of free will." 

"Yes, that is in essence, what Reconditioning is about. It searched for things that are contrary to the First Order directive, and it removes those urges and desires. You will still be you, just more willing to obey directions." Hux replied.

"In other words, your going to brainwash me?"
Crystal replied. Hux shrugged.

"You can look at it that way if you choose. Or, you could see this as an opportunity to start fresh. See it as a second chance at being a family and raising our daughter together.  If you chose to fight this option, then we will send you through the process again and wipe your memory entirely."

"If all else fails, then I will have no choice but to label you a traitor, which results in an immediate execution. The results of the Reconditioning are entirely up to you. Oh, and to answer your question, yes it can and most likely will be, extremely painful. Especially if you try fighting it." Hux replied.

"You monster! You'll never get away with this!
I'll make you pay for this if it's the last thing I do!" Crystal yelled at him. Hux chuckled in reply.

"Phasma, would you be so kind as to escorts Mrs. Stormragger to the reconditioning facility?"

"Of course General, I shall monitor her progress myself." Phasma replied.

"Very good. I must return home and see my how my precious little princess is doing."
