WARNINGS:
- This is Fanfiction, a lot of this is probably not true at all, just a product of my imagnation.
- There are some spoilers ahead, so BEWARE!
- There are alternate scenes from the movie (same location & characters, the talk itself is different) so don't think everything in this is true.
- Sadly, I don't own Star Wars. Cause if I did, Luke Skywalker would be in a lot more scenes than he's now, and I'd give him quite a large family for him to be a father.
30 years after RotJ (34 years ABY)
Poe's POV:
I landed my X-wing near the village General Leia send me to.
I opened up the glass roof and jumped out, landing into the sand.
Somehow, I felt comfortable here.
I looked around, seeing the village behind me. I smiled, the village was peaceful, like the whole Galaxy should be.
The belly of my X-wing opened, and my faithful little droid BB-8.
BB-8 reminds me a bit of another droid I vaguely remember when my mother came to visit me sometimes when I was young.
I don't really know her name, neither do I know father's.
All I know is that my father had been a pilot in the battle of Yavin, one of the few to survive.
I've asked a lot of people about my dad, but it seems they don't know or they're keeping it a big secret.
I started to walk to the village, BB-8 following me close on my tail.
I enter the village, seeing a few villagers talking and walking around like there was nothing.
This sight of peace, it satisfies me.
But I don't know why, and how.
"Excuse me, do you know where one Lor San Tekka is?" I asked a random villager.
"That tent right over there. It's hard to miss." the villager, a female, replied.
"Thank you ma'am." I politely said before walking to the tent the woman had said Lor San Tekka would be.
I slowly pulled aside the curtain, seeing a man sitting on a low chair.
"Poe Dameron?" he asked.
I nodded. "That's me."
"It's good to finally meet you. I'm Lor San Tekka, I knew you father." the man said
"My father?" I asked, my eyes went wide. "Can you tell me something about him?"
Lor San Tekka sighed. "Your father was a very brave man, always fighting for he felt what was right, always risking his life for the peace in the Galaxy. Similar to what you're doing now."
So, my father was in the Republic military? Is he still?
"I can see your father passed a lot of his abilities on to you. I can only tell you, use them wisely." Lor San Tekka told.
"Can you... tell me his name?" I asked.
Lor San Tekka shook his head with a sad face. "I can't. Your father vanished a decade ago, he felt guilty over something that happened. He couldn't let it go, even through he tried his best. But after your mother, he nearly lost his mind. Only the thought of you kept him sane, but I'm afraid it snapped just before he disappeared."
"Why can't you tell me my father's name?" I asked.
"There's to much history, you'd be in grave danger if you knew your father's name. Your family kept your parents' names from you to protect you, and it might be better, that you find out on your own." Lor San Tekka replied, taking my right hand to lay something in there.
I looked at it, seeing it was a data chip.
"This will lead your Resistance to the person you seek for. Go, and may you find your father one day." Lor San Tekka said.
BB-8 turned to me.
"Open up." I demanded.
BB-8 opened a small drawer and I placed the data chip inside.
Then there were explosions on the outside.
I pulled aside the curtains.
Stormtroopers.
"Damn it!" I cursed and ran out on the back of the tent, towards large dunes of sand.
BB-8 was on my tail again, beeping loud.
"SSSSHHH!" I shushed him.
I looked back to see my X-wing being destroyed. "Great! That was my only chance escaping this damn planet!"
I kept running, not slowing down the whole night
BB-8 was my only source of light.
The explosions were now further away, but not far enough.
I kept going, ignoring how exhausted I was, until I found an enormous field between the dunes.
Everywhere I looked, I saw downed AT-AT's, Star Destroyers and several other Imperial land- and aircrafts.
"Well, it's at least something that can function as shelter." I said.
BB-8 agreed with his beeps.
"Now, let's hide. We'll find someone tomorrow to bring us to the Illum system." I told and walked up to a Star Destroyer.
I didn't go in far, just far enough to be safe of sandstorms and the cold.
Well, it had to do for this one night.
"Goodnight BB-8, now, let's get some sleep." I said, laying down on the hard metal.
It may not be comfortable, but I rather don't spend any time in the hands of the First Order.
Next morning
Rey's POV:
I woke up when the sun rose.
I yawned, stretched myself out and stepped out of my bed to get dressed in my normal light grey tunics, grey pants and black boots.
I grabbed my beige cloth to wrap it around my head and placed my sunglasses on my forehead for now.
I ate the last remains of my food from yesterday and grabbed my staff before I walked out of my house.
Uh... you can't really call it a house.
Actually, I live in a downed AT-AT, very close to the 'ship graveyard' where all scavengers earn their food with.
I place my staff in the net hanging on the left side of my speeder-bike and got in the saddle, ready for take-off.
I've lived the past 13 years of my life on this planet as a local scavenger. I barely talk and ask no questions, keeping a low profile for the case that the First Order suddenly turns up.
Cause that's how many of us get into trouble: they talk to much.
I raced over the sand towards one of the Star Destroyers, parking my speeder-bike below and walked up to the bottom of the Destroyer. My staff is on my back and my bottle of water is hanging on my leather belt.
I walk into the downed Star Destroyer, searching for mechanical parts that might earn me some good portion of food.
It was a bit dark in here, but lucky for me, there were holes blasted in the metal above me, allowing me to see.
I felt the Force telling me there was someone inside, someone with who I had a connection.
A familial connection.
Suddenly, I saw a man lying on the metal with a droid beside him.
The man was quite handsome, had near black hair and wore a brown jacket, a sandy coloured blouse and black pants.
The white with orange droid saw me and woke his owner with an electric shock.
The man shot up, opening his brown eyes. "BB-8!" he called out.
I laughed briefly, it's always fun to see such a thing happening.
The little BB-8, as the man called the droid, reminded me of my father's R2 unit.
Then the man saw me. "Sorry I hope my droid wasn't bothering you."
"No, he wasn't. He actually immediately woke you when he saw me." I told.
"That's good, cause BB-8 can sometimes bother people very much." the man said.
BB-8 felt offended and beeped out loud.
"BB-8!" the man called and turned back to me. "By the way, I'm Poe Dameron, and who may you be?"
I smiled. "I'm Rey."
"It's nice to meet you, Rey." the man, Poe, said.
"It's nice meeting you too, Poe." I said.
"Uhm... do you know people around here who can take me back home? My ship was destroyed last night." Poe asked.
"You'd have to ask the man who collects the scavenges' machinery. I don't really remember his name correctly." I replied. "But you're a pilot?"
"Yes, just like my father." Poe told, a proud smile appearing on his face.
"First Order or Resistance?" I asked.
Poe looked at me with suspiciousness. "You'll tell anyone?"
"I'm just a local scavenger, I haven't got anything to do with either of them." I lied.
"Good, cause I'm with the Resistance." Poe replied.
"Then, I'll help you." I told. "If you'll help me, of course."
"What?" Poe asked.
"Help me collect some valuable things from these downed ships. It'll provide us some food." I replied.
"Okay, just tell me what to do." Poe said.
I smiled. "Follow me."
Poe's POV:
I was a little embarrassed when BB-8 woke me up in front of that girl.
The girl, Rey, she was beautiful.
Even though I haven't seen her hair yet, her sun-tanned skin in combination with those brown eyes was a pleasure for every male's eyes.
Her eyes... there had been a mysterious blue glint in them.
I know I have some connection with her, there was... a feeling, a feeling deep inside me.
And I can still hear my mother say: 'beware of your feelings, always follow them no matter what.'
She sounded pretty wise, and I always followed it.
And I always will.
I followed Rey into the ship, helping her collecting several parts that are useful for ships and could be pretty valuable.
After hours of searching for mechanical parts all around the downed Star Destroyer, Rey told we had collected enough.
Now we had to go to the closest village where scavengers traded their collections for food.
I have to tell, Rey is very intelligent. She even seems to know much more about mechanics than I do, and I am a Resistance pilot.
"How do you come to know so much about mechanics?" I asked.
Rey looked at me. "My dad was a pilot as well."
"He was? Could our dads have known each other?" I asked.
Maybe I just found a connection to my father!
"I don't know, but I believe I've heard the name Dameron before. I just can't place it." Rey replied.
I won't give up my hopes, I really want to find out who my dad is. I've always wanted to know, but people keep saying it's not safe for me to know. Because of the First Order.
So, maybe my father was or is a member of the Resistance, of the former Rebel Alliance. Someone who played a very big part in the biggest battles in the Galaxy: Yavin and Endor.
But still, if he was just a pilot, it wouldn't matter. But if he had been so much more than just that...
Rey and I left the ship, entering the hot Jakkuan desert sun.
We walked down the hill towards a weird looking speeder-bike.
"You will have to hold on tight." Rey told as she put all the stuff in the net hanging on the big front of the bike, including her staff.
I looked at the saddle, there was barely enough space for 2 persons.
Great. Damn the Dameron family luck.
Rey sat down into the saddle and stretched out her hand.
I gritted my teeth, gained a bit of courage and took Rey's hand, who pulled me right behind her.
"Hold on tight, this thing can go fast." Rey said before she drove away.
And neither of them had seen a black heavily damaged tie-fighter crashing down between the dunes.
FN-2187
Last night was no pretty sight.
My team mate, with who I had grown close with, died right in front of me.
Later, I saw Lord Ren killing the village elder when he didn't had the map to one Luke Skywalker.
I'm still asking myself who this person is. Sure, I've heard of him before at 'school' during history, but I didn't really think it'd matter.
Right now, I've crashed a Tie-fighter and now the First Order is after me!
I know I shouldn't have stolen the fighter, but I couldn't stand it any longer.
I cannot kill, I will not kill. Not for them.
The First Order exists out of monsters.
I climbed out of the fighter and stumbled away, only looking back at the fighter when it sank into the sand and exploded.
I'm glad I just escaped!
In time.
Hi everybody!
I hope it's a bit good.
Either way, please review!
Suggestions for next chapter are very welcome!
