Chapter two
She was surprised when she saw Leia watching them. "I'm sorry!" Rey rushed. "It was all Poe's idea!" Leia raised one eyebrow. "I'm sure it was. Is everyone's work done?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Good." She turned and motioned Rey in. "Iv got the feeling you want to talk to me. Let's go."
It was an awkward hour, explaining to a woman that she had a special connection to the son who killed his own father, but to Rey's surprise General Organa only smiled. "I'm glad. I originally thought that it was Han who could bring him back, but apparently it's you."
Rey flushed and squirmed. "Are you sure? Maybe the Force made a mistake in connecting us."
Leia smiled softly and took Rey's hand in her own. "The Force never makes mistakes. Only people."
The next hour passed at a much more relaxed pace. As she was leaving, Rey turned to Leia. "One last question. Did Ben ever play tag as a child?"
The General's eyes softened slightly. "As a matter of fact, he did. He especially loved playing with Chewie. He was always gentle with Ben. Why?"
"No reason."
