The girl closed up her hands and tried to pull them back into the sleeves of her jacket to try and create some warmth,even at her age it still was a bit big on her so it was easy to cuff the ends of the sleeves together. Despite its years of use, the old thing kept out the cold quite well. You wouldn't think that desert's could reach such low temperatures at night. It had been something that still amazed her when she made herself wake up every sunset to continue her trek. Jakku wasn't quite the safest place for travelling during the daytime, it was intensely hot and there were people out and about that she would rather not confront. Hence the nighttime travelling. If you were quick on your feet as well as with a blaster and gave it time for your eye's to adjust, one could attempt a successful way of survival. Luckily it wouldn't last for long though, she estimated that the end of her journey on the planet would only take one more night. Her original intent for being on this planet had become a lost cause and it still hurt her to remember the sights she found. In fact it had more than hurt her she had almost been furious at what happened. Finding the slaughtered villagers, had only fueled her to try and complete what she had sought out to do. After that, with a bit of investigating and overhearing a rather interesting conversation in cantina a second plan had come into action. Granted it was a bit of a distraction from what she had originally planned but she needed a ship and she knew just the one.

A small smile came across the girl's lips as she thought about the familiar relic she was traveling to. Keeping low had been doing her well. Granted finding the information she needed was harder than planned for just being on her own and it put her a step behind everyone else that was on the same mission as her, but it had given her the result she wanted. The aftermath of the completion of the mission seemed impossible to imagine for her though. If she did find what she was looking for what would happen next? Would it be worth her coming back out of hiding? How would everyone react, it wasn't exactly the most responsible thing to go missing. She could already imagine a couple choice swear words coming from her parents at her return.

Nope don't think about it just keep moving she internally told herself as her stomach clenched at the amount of thoughts racing through her head. It was a familiar saying she had told herself throughout her journey and it was an easy one to live by. The minute she had run off and made her final decision about what she was doing she had immediately wanted to turn back, and apologize for everything. But she hadn't, and she was proud of herself for that. She had grown on her own and become more independent. Maybe she was a bit on the anti-social side now but definitely more capable of taking care of herself. She let out a bit of an over dramatic sigh to not only break the irritating silence of the desert but to also just take a chance to breath.

And that's when it happened. It wasn't hard to notice the Tie Fighter falling from the sky that night. Especially when you're someone navigating through the dunes at an hour most don't even attempt to travel at. The tiny bursts of flame that emitted from the fallen ship caused a bright contrast against the dark night sky. The ship automatically ejected whoever was flying it as it free fell. The girl found herself running towards the fallen ship and almost lost her footing as it finally reached the ground. There was a burst of light that blinded her for a second. She held her hand over her eyes as she started walking forward.

It was a bit of a conflicting moment. Most likely she should have ran the other way due to the fact that Tie Fighters meant terrible news and that the First Order wouldn't be far behind. However, they didn't randomly fall off of Star Destroyer's either. Maybe it was a runaway or someone from the Resistance had shot it down. She reached into her satchel for her blaster just in case any of the pilots on board were still alive and up for an attack. Hopefully she could get any information out of whoever was in there before it came to shooting. If it came to that though, she had to make sure that she was the first one to shoot.

The cautiousness of her footsteps seemed irrelevant as it was already impossible to hear peoples movement through the sand but it was just a part of who she was.
"Whoa!" she unexpectedly shouted as the toe of her boot caught on something and she ungracefully fell over well, more of a someone actually. She coughed out sand as she landed face first, but then quickly shot up with her blaster pointed at the body and detected no movement. The person was unconscious and on their stomach and she felt like she had somehow seen this person before. Seeing as the body hadn't moved and not caring about niceties she nudged the person over onto their back with her foot and saw a handsome and familiar face.
"Poe?!" she exclaimed as she got back down again and leaned her head down on his chest to hear a light heartbeat.
"Alright, you're alive good!" she smiled and then felt like she wasn't really reacting properly to the situation, but it had been so long since she had seen anyone that she could recall.
"Now how the hell you got here, I have no absolute idea but it's great to see you. Just not this way but, hey what the hell you gonna do about it. Well I guess nothing since your unconscious and yes I know you can't hear me but this is the longest conversation I've had in awhile. I'm gonna go check out the rest of the wreck. Anyways stay, ok, stay there, you?" she awkwardly finished her sentence as she got back up and fished for her bag back in the sand. She found the satchel but discovered it a bit lightweight from when the last time she held it.
"Oh no" she realized.
"I'm leaving right before I-I-" she drifted off as she frantically looked through the sand. The item she was missing was one that she knew she couldn't depart with.
"Hey Mae?" she heard the weak voice of the now conscious pilot say as he woke up. The girl paused in her movement and looked to her right to find what she was looking for.
"Yeah?" she asked brushing a strand of light brown shoulder length hair behind her ear.
"You dropped this" he joked as he handed her the hilt of a lightsaber.
"Thanks" she let out a sigh of relief as she grabbed it from him.
"So, good to see you" he added.
"You too" she chuckled.

So hey good start? What'd you think I'm trying not to make it mary sueish but it's my first one for star wars and I just really wanted to write one for Force Awakens because it was just soooooo good and I'm kinda debating doing a kylo but meh who know's. Anyways have a lovely day.
