"Wow," Rey said as night sky lit up with fireworks. "That looks amazing."

Ben gave an approving hum. He noticed her shiver and wrapped an arm around her to keep her warm.

"I've never seen anything like this before," she admitted, leaning against him. "Jakku had no such celebrations."

"Mother said that fireworks remind her of the Death Star," Ben told her. "When I was a child we watched a display and she told me that when the Death Star exploded, it looked just like that."

He pointed to rather elaborate explosion. Rey tilted her head and scrutinized it.

"It must have been quite a sight," Rey said. "But I think I prefer this one."

"I prefer it too," Ben replied, looking at Rey and not seeing anything else but her.


Happy 2016 everyone!
