One shot prequel to I Will Be By Your Side, But Not The Dark Side. How I think Rey will fall in love? With who, you ask? With Ben Solo. Reylo is happening fingers crossed. Best part of mush up name the lo in Reylo can also be used when Kylo Ren becomes Ben Solo again. Please review sorry about grammar.
Part One: Leia.
The map was complete and the Resistance rejoice. Celebrating they finally found the Jedi master Luke Skywalker. Rey had heard stories of Luke Skywalker and believe he was a myth. Turns out he was real. Han Solo knew him they were friends and Leia Organa was his twin sister, but there was one question Rey wanted answered. Who was Kylo Ren's mother? Rey asked herself this question. Ben, Han had called him and his son.
"Ben?" C-3PO said stocked. "My goodness, last time I saw Master Ben he was only a boy heading off to train with his Uncle, Master Luke."
"So, you knew him?" Rey asked the protocol droid.
"Knew him?" C-3PO repeated. "Why miss? I more then knew him. I was there when he was born. The very day Genaral Organa gave birth to Master Ben I was connecting Master Luke telling him he was an uncle to a boy."
"General Organa?" Rey asked a little confused.
"Yes, she and Han Solo were married when they had their son, Ben Solo." C-3PO answered sounding happy. "I recall Han Solo connecting everyone he knew saying he and Princess Leia had a heathy baby boy. He was quite over the moon about becoming a father."
"Princess Leia?" Rey said getting more confuse.
"Sorry miss." C-3PO spoke again. "General Organa was once known as Princess Leia Organa of Aldeeran, before the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star and stopped going by her title six years ago."
"I see." Rey said taking a deep breath. "Thank you Threepio."
"Anytime miss." C-3PO said as he saw Rey walk off.
General Organa was a princess and the mother of Kylo Ren. Did she know? Is that why she hugged her or was it something else. General Organa was in a meeting by holo message disgusting something some Senators that were off world did. The central system was destroyed, but the Republic was still alive among the core worlds. A new Senate was created in the Sovereign System on Naboo. Rey was about to walk into the room when she was stopped by Admiral Ackbar.
"I can help you young lady?" he spoke in a low voice.
"I need to speak with General Organa." Rey said lowing her voice. "It's regarding her son."
"Wait, until after the meeting she having then talk to her." Admiral Ackbar spoke as he turned to see Leia dress in regal dress. "The First Order may have destroyed Hosnian Prime, but the Republic is still very strong and not giving up the fight. Brings back memories of the Rebellion."
"Our deepest shallows to you General Organa of the lost of your husband, Han Solo." A Senator spoke. "Despite his past he was indeed a respected member of the Rebellion and will be remembered as a hero."
"Indeed, for if it wasn't for him and his crew the destruction of the Star Killer Base wouldn't have happen." another Senator spoke. "Who knows how many more worlds and lives the First Order would destroyed or killed? Now on the matter of your brother, Luke Skywalker. We want to send ..."
"I've already picked someone to go." Leia spoke cutting the Senate off. "She is young yet very strong. I've sense it within her. She has to go to him and be trained by him. She can bring him home."
"Still holding on hope are you?" a third Senator said and Leia nodded. "Very well. Send the girl and we will continue the next move to defend against the First Order. No doubt they are leaking their wounds of this defeat. Farewell General."
"Farewell Senators." Leia said as the holo-messager went off. "You wanted to speak with me Rey?"
Rey blinked with a surprise of General Organa knew she wanted to speak to her. A smile appeared on Leia's face as she walked up to Rey. Rey nodded her responds to General Organa and was lead to small red couch. Rey sat down next to Leia and C-3PO come in carrying a tray of tea. Placing the tray down on the coffee table in front of the couch where Leia and Rey sat. He poured a cup for Leia before asking Rey if she wanted a cup of tea. Rey nodded with a smile. She never had tea.
"I remember Ben used to enjoy afternoon tea with me as a boy before I finally sent him off to train with Luke." Leia said with a smile, but it wasn't a happy smile. "Everyday after school he come home covered in dirt from roughhousing with his friends."
"Please, tell what he was like?" Rey asked Leia in her voice it sounded like she was afraid to asked. "He used to enjoy drinking tea with you after school and playing with his friends. What else?"
"Ha!" Leia laugh a little before taking a sip of tea. "Wherever he liked to admit it or not? Ben was a little like his father. Used to get into trouble like a normal healthy boy he would ran around and play. He once while playing active ball he broke one of the neighbor's windows. He was with his friends bolted back to my house to hide before I took them before the neighbor to take responsibility for their actions. Work off the damage. To be honest I think Ben enjoyed the hard work as he would help around the neighborhood gardens after that."
"He sounds wonderful." Rey said taking a sip of tea. "And a hard worker."
"He was and that was back when it simpler times." Leia said turning to a holo-image of her, Han and Ben. "This was the last image we took before we sent him off. He had turned fifteen. Still only boy back then, but getting as tall as his father. Sometimes I wish we can go back to that simpler time. He wouldn't ..."
"He wouldn't have killed Han." Rey finished Leia's words seeing the tears streaming down Leia's cheeks. "He told me Han would've disappointed me as he probe my mind. I saw Han as the father I've never had. Is that true?"
"Before we sent Ben off to train with Luke." Leia said taking another sip of tea. "Me and Han had gotten into a argument. You see we finally sent Ben to train with Luke because Ben accidentally Force push one of his friends into a tree. Hurting the boy badly he had intramural bleeding. The boy was alright after because Ben rush to me in tears telling me everything we got him to hospital in time. I told Han and Han, was angry at me for not sending Ben off sooner. Ben must've over heard us arguing over the matter. Didn't help Han was off world with his racing career hardly spent time with Ben, but when he got home he tried to spend time with Ben nearly all the time."
"Thus, the disappointment he said to me." Rey said trumping her cup of tea. "I'm sorry this is upsetting you. I will leave."
"Rey, no stop." Leia said grabbing Rey's hand. "It's was my fault he become Kylo Ren and Han died. I sent Ben away. I didn't tell Luke about Snoke. I asked Han to bring him home. All of it was my fault. Which is why I'm sending you to Luke?"
"What?" Rey said stocked. "No, it's not my place."
"Rey, I sense it within you." Leia said looking into Rey's eyes. "Luke has it. I have it. Ben has it. And you have it. The Force is in you and you can bring him home."
Rey looked at Leia and knew what she meant? Rey nodded in agreement and Leia smiled at the girl. She is the one. The one that will bring him back. Bring him home. A few days pass and Rey was given her final medical checks before she head off to Ahch-To. She gave Finn a farewell kiss on the forehead. She was going to miss him and wish him a speedy recovery because she knew in her heart they were going to meet again. When she didn't know as she didn't know how long her training with Luke was going to take? Rey took the Skywalker lightsaber and placed into a bag filled with things she needs. One of those things were holo-pads Leia insisted Rey take with her.
"Rey!" Leia said making Rey turn around. "May the Force be with you."
Please review. Sorry for the grammar. Had to add Carrie's last line in The Force Awakens. A true legend gone. Hope I capture her well in this story.
