A/N: ...as if I don't have enough WIPs.

Rey hadn't meant to touch the artifact. It had shone in the Force, bright and tempting. The part of her that would always be a scavenger automatically calculated that it would have been worth at least 50 portions back on Jakku, and so she had reached out to grab it without thinking.

The Force heaved, breaking apart and reforming around her only to shatter once more. Rey crumpled to her knees, her stomach rolling.

When the Force finally calmed down, she pushed herself back to her feet, clutching her staff for support.

Her surroundings had changed around her, no longer the crumbling ruins she had come from, but shining sand, as far as the eye could see. For one, heart-stopping moment, Rey thought she was back on Jakku, that she had never left. That every horrible and wonderful thing that had happened since BB-8 and Finn came into her life had been nothing more than a dream.

But no. Jakku didn't have two suns.

Also, she could feel the bond she had with Finn in the back of her head, bright and warm like always. The bond she shared with Poe was faded, more so than it had when they had been at opposite ends of the galaxy on various missions, but it was still there. The training bond she had with Master Luke was not, which was worrying. However, she had more pressing concerns than her bonds. Survival came first.

Rey sunk her awareness down into the Force, searching its currents for any sentient life forms in her vicinity.

At the edge of her reach, Rey felt a bright hive of minds. It was a city of some sort, and it was highly likely they had water.

After checking to make sure both her staff and her lightsaber were secured, Rey set out for the distant city.

Finn had no kriffing clue what was going on. One minute he was peacefully napping while he waited for Rey to finish her final sweep of the ruins, and the next the Force was in turmoil.

He had launched himself to his feet, his hand going to his lightsaber as he fell into a ready stance, but there was no one around.

He was in a hallway, with white walls and a white floor and closed doors at regular intervals. It felt sterile and unwelcoming. He could feel people moving around in hallways above and below him, along with thousands of tiny sparks to his left - very young children or babies.

Finn hadn't taken more than two steps before the Force warned him that someone was coming. He ducked into the nearest doorway, putting his back against the wall and quieting his breath.

Two tall, pale beings, with long necks topped with small, round heads, draped in flowing white clothing glided past his hiding place. Kaminoans. Finn recognized them from the History of the Corrupt Republic class all stormtroopers were forced to take. They had been the ones to create the clone army.

How had he gotten here? The ruins he and Rey had been exploring at Master Luke's request had been nowhere near Kamino.

He checked on the bonds he carried in the back of his mind. The one he shared with Rey was as strong as ever, while Poe's was weak, as if stretched by a great distance. Master Luke's training bond was completely gone, as if it had never existed.

Poe wasn't a Jedi; he couldn't use the Force. He had no way of knowing that Finn and Rey were missing until Master Skywalker came back from their mission alone.

It had been a simple exploration mission; nothing should have happened.

Poe already had three ideas on how he was going to rescue them - depending on who had taken Finn and Rey - when the General called him to her office.

"You asked to see me, General Organa," Poe said as he stepped into the room and stood at attention. He noted that Master Skywalker was standing behind the General's chair while he waited for her to acknowledge his presence.

"At ease, Commander. My brother," She gestured behind her. "Needs to speak with you."

Poe relaxed and nodded. "Of course, sir."

General Organa stood from her desk. "And Poe, Finn and Rey are bright people. They will get home."

"Thank you, sir."

General Organa smiled, patted his shoulder, and left him to the mercies of Master Skywalker.

"As I'm sure you know, Finn and Rey went missing on Draay 2 while we were searching the ruins of a Jedi Temple for artifacts," Master Skywalker began.

"Yes, sir," Poe responded.

Master Skywalker sighed heavily. "Well, they found one. As far as I've been able to determine, this artifact sent them back in time."

Poe's eyebrows raised of their own accord. "Time travel?"

Master Skywalker nodded. "And the longer they spend in the past, the more changes there will be to the present. You will be the only one who will remember this present once it is gone."

Poe froze, his mind racing. Why was he going to be the only one to remember? Why not Master Skywalker, arguably the greatest Jedi ever to live, or General Organa? And then he realized.

"It's the bonds I have with them, isn't it?"

"The training bonds I share with my Padawans are too one-sided to spare me, whereas the bonds you share with them are a give and a take. You should have been pulled back with them; I'm not sure why you're still here," Master Skywalker said.

Poe was still processing the information, so all he said was "Thank you, sir. Excuse me," before he left the General's office.

A/N: Draay 2 is home to a Jedi Temple in the comics set during the Clone Wars. The comic it shows up in is amazing, everybody should read it.
