Damerey Story
Rey couldn't sleep so she decided to take a walk around the base, though she had been back from where she had found Luke for few days after convincing him to come back with her, she had barely seen the base. Eventually she found herself sitting just slightly under a X-Wing. She marveled at the sight from beneath it, while also looking to the stars, they were so different than the ones she had seen on Jakku for so many years. She didn't remember any other stars just the ones from Jakku. She knew nothing from before seeing the ship flying away from Jakku, while Unkar Plutt held her back, while she screamed for them to come back to her. But alas, they never did, and as far as she can tell right now, she never will. Suddenly she heard footsteps approaching the X-Wing, she ducked farther beneath, making sure no one could see her, though she was ready to attack if need be, but then she saw some on sit down in front of the X-Wing, never looking behind them to notice Rey sitting just a few feet behind them. The mysterious person went to lay down on the ground when he saw a glimpse of Rey, he then fully turned around to where Rey could see his face. It was Poe Dameron.
"I hope you aren't messing with my baby." He said in a joking manor
"No, I just wanted to be outside, it's so different here"
" from Jakku?" Poe asked
"Yea, the stars they are so familiar, yet so different" Rey explained
"Yea, every time I move planets from base to base, one of the first things I do is memorize the stars. So even when I'm not flying I can imagine the stars." Poe told Rey
"I would look at the stars every night on Jakku"
"Why?" Poe asked
"What do you mean why?" Rey asked confused, not sure what the question was asking
"Well, what do you look to them for, to see, what is it that you want to see up there?"
Rey hesitated for a moment before responding
"... I look up to the stars, hoping to see a ship landing. Hoping to see a glimpse of my family. Hoping they are coming back to me... like they were supposed to years ago" Rey explained
"You never knew your parents?" Poe asked confused
"I did, but I don't remember them. The first thing I remember in my whole life, is watching a ship fly away, as Unkar Plutt held me back. I screamed for them to come back, but they never did" Rey didn't know what it was, but something told her to trust him
"I didn't know I'm sorry, but look at it this way, now you have something you can discover and search for."
"Yea, but sometimes you just want the answer to some problems after a while"
"I can understand that... So how did you learn to fly? I mean you were on Jakku, there weren't many ships laying around"
"Well, I was scavenging through a fallen X-Wing, when I ran across some Data chips, and a processor. They were Flight Simulators and still in-tact, so when I had nothing to do which was often I learned how to fly in the simulators, though I never flew in real life until I escaped Jakku."
"What do you feel when you fly? For instance, I look up there, to remember my parents, remember when I was younger, and I would sit in their laps as they flew. Some times even let me take the controls once I got a little older, though I was still in their lap and they could make any adjustments. Even though that they both died eventually while they were flying, the memories of happiness is much more important and overrides what sadness it holds. What about you?"
"When I am flying, I feel something, something I remember but don't actually remember. Like it was something I felt before, Jakku. I don't remember anything before I was on Jakku... when I flew off in the Falcon, that was the first time that I could remember not being on Jakku, and as far as I know the first time I flew a ship."
"Well, maybe one day I will take you up for a ride in my baby" Poe said pointing upward, where his ship was above them
"Well, then maybe I will let you go up in the Falcon with me and Co-Pilot." Rey said gently nudging him in the shoulder
"The Falcon?!" Poe asked incredulously
"Yea, just tell me when and as long as neither of us our on a mission, well, I don't see any reason we can't... BUT, you have to do something for me" Rey told him
"What?" Poe asked though his head was still stuck in the clouds after Rey told him he might be able to fly the Falcon
"You have to be my friend, I have few of those..." Rey said trailing off at the end.
Those words got Poes head out of the clouds, he looked at her for a moment
"I thought you would have all the friends you want, especially being Luke Skywalker's padawan, and being so close to general Organa, and escaping from the First Order! With out any help?!" Poe asked incredulously
"Yea well, that doesn't mean anything if no one talks to you outside of a mission. I think since I left Jakku, out of who is here I have talked to, you, General Organa, Master Luke, and Finn. That's it, and since Finn is not available. Well, it doesn't help being on Jakku... you don't really develop social skills, more of anti-social skills. If you want to survive you trust no one."
"Well, then I will be your friend, and if you are ever alone and need someone to talk to just let me know or... look to the stars..." Poe told her as he pulled her into a side hug and they leaned against his X-Wing and watched the stars til dawn...
