Author's Note: So this is my first ever fanfic and I've recently fallen in love with the Rey x Rose and Finn x Poe pairings and just had to write a fanfic to show my love. Please be kind because this is my first ever fic, but do give me constructive criticism; it would be greatly appreciated! Love you all!


The Resistance is decimated and those who are alive are few. Luke Skywalker has given the galaxy hope one last time and has become one with the Force. General Leia Organa and the remainder of the Resistance are aboard the Millennium Falcon. They are recovering from and grieving the losses of the Battle of Crait. The Resistance is stretched thin as they search desperately for a safe base in the Outer Rim. Rey the Jedi and Finn the Rebel hero finally reunite from their harrowing journeys. Both have changed, but they are relieved to see each other again. They, along with Poe Dameron and BB-8, talk about their recent adventures.

The Millennium Falcon travels through hyperspace, what is left of the Resistance mills about, trying to figure out what to do if there is anything to do with their current situation. Rey and Finn catch up on what has happened to the both of them as they were apart. Rey is finally introduced to Poe Dameron, the man that helped her friend defect from his fate in the First Order. The trio sits on the long lounge seat in the communal space of the Falcon while C-3PO watches over Rose Tico as she recovers from her heroic saving of Finn on Crait.

"So, let me get this straight," questioned Poe. "You attacked Finn because BB-8 recognized my leather jacket? That's how you two met?"

BB-8 chirped, correcting Poe on his wording. Poe looked down at his droid, his eyebrows raised.

"You clotheslined Finn with your staff because BB-8 recognized my leather jacket?" corrected Poe.

"That she did," deadpanned Finn as he looked at Rey, who's cheeks flushed and looked sheepishly at her feet.

"Well, I feel bad now," replied Rey. "At least I didn't shock you like BB-8."

"Buddy!" exclaimed Poe as he turned to look at his droid. "How many times have I told you not to do that?"

BB-8 rolled away and beeping as if offended.

Rey tried and failed to smother her giggles behind her hand as Finn gave her a pointed look.

"I have to ask," implored Poe. "What was he like?"

"Who?" asked Rey.

"Luke Skywalker."

"He was like what the legends said," explained Rey. "He was wise, powerful, and good, but he...he was also just a man. A man that made a mistake and was ashamed of himself for it."

"I grew up with stories about him and the Rebellion," mused Poe. "My mother was a Rebel pilot and she went on a mission with him once. They recovered fragments of a Great Tree, the one that was in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He gave her one of the fragments to protect."

"What did she do with it?" asked Finn.

"She planted it on Yavin IV, my home." reminisced Poe. "As a kid, I'd always play under it imagining I was some Jedi Knight saving the galaxy."

"It seems it came true," said Rey with a kind smile.

"I'm not the Jedi, you are," reminded Poe, confused.

"You don't have to be a Jedi to save the galaxy."

Poe gave Rey a bright smile, taking her kind words with humbling gratitude.

"So, now what?" asked Finn. "Do we just keep running from the First Order?"

"The General said she's trying her hardest to find a safe base," explained Poe. "She has one in mind, but she still isn't sure how secure it is."

"How much longer do we have?" worried Finn. "It's not like we could keep traveling at hyperspeed for much longer."

"We have at least a few days until we're in trouble," insisted Poe. "Well, more trouble."

"Do you have any idea where we might be headed?" inquired Rey.

"Staying in the Outer Rim is definitely our best bet at safety, but where exactly I'm not so sure," sighed Poe. "We must wait and hope."

"At least we all get to rest and recover for some time," said Rey.

The trio relaxed and chatted for a while more until C-3PO waddled in with news of Rose's recovery.

"So what's the status of Rose's condition, Threepio?" asked Finn

"Rose Tico is recovering quite nicely, and she seems to be waking up. She has a 97.457-"

"She's waking up?!" exclaimed Finn.

"-4658 percent of full recovery," finished C-3PO.

Then Finn, followed by Poe and Rey close behind, rush to get to the crew quarters where Rose is resting. She is slowly starting to wake up, just like what C-3PO said. She seems to be mildly incoherent due to the pain medication she received for her injuries.

Finn approaches Rose first, with Poe behind him and Rey off to the side.

"Hey Rose," said Finn gently. "How are you feeling?"

"Better, but still a little sore," replied Rose, with a slightly dopey smile. Her smile turns into a wince as she struggles to sit up.

"Here let us help," said Poe. He and Finn help prop up Rose in a more comfortable position on the bunk. Rey is still standing off to the side, watching the interaction.

"Where am I?" asked Rose.

"Believe it or not, you're in the crew quarters of the Millennium Falcon," exclaimed Poe excitingly.

"Wow," said Rose softly in awe.

Something in Rose's peripheral vision distracted her for a moment.

"Hey, is that a... porg?" wondered Rose as she caught sight of the alien bird waddling past the entrance way.

"Yeah, somehow, they got aboard while I was at Ahch-To training," said Rey

"Oh right, I'm Rey."

"Oh my god, Rey the Jedi?" gushed Rose. "Wow, you're prettier than I thought."

Rose, then promptly passed back out, leaving Rey a blushing mess. Both Finn and Poe tried and failed to smother their giggles behind their hand. Rey glared at the both of them, unable to process what just happened.

As if it was fate, BB-8 overheard the last part of the conversation and made it their mission to get those two together.
