AN: We have finally reached the first ten chapters! You guys are the reason why I keep posting, so thanks. I would like to give a HUGE shout out to a nice person named StarclawOfMoriClan who volunteered to do the cover art for this fanfic.
Leia and Rey were on the tarmac sparring for hours. Luke stood behind a large rock and spectated their movements. He could see his sister fighting the pain from her healing leg. Rey could sense her aunt trying to find a comfortable stance. She started to let her guard down so Leia wouldn't have to struggle, but Rey was surprised when her aunt managed to graze her arm with a training saber.
"Remember Rey, never let your guard down. Your enemies can always fake weakness." Leia noted, getting the feeling that her brother felt proud. They ended their match and signalled Luke to join them.
"You two did a great job." Luke commented as he ping-ponged his eyes between the two women he was sandwiched by. The group walked down the hallway talking and laughing all the way to the mess hall. Finn and Poe waved them over to their table.
"Why did you get food off of the line?" Leia questioned.
"We didn't know you were going to join us this evening." Finn answered with an innocent look.
Leia pressed a button on her commlink. A young woman strolled towards the general.
"What do you need ma'am?" the woman asked, pulling out a small datapad.
"Go to the chef droid and ask it for nerf steaks for my entire table." Leia whispered.
"Any sides in particular?"
"No, but bring us a shuura pie for dessert and take Finn and Poe's trays."
"Yes ma'am." The young woman walked around to the other side of the table and grabbed the trays as told. She started to walk out before two credit chips dropped on the dirty tray.
"Thanks, Taima." Leia smiled before turning around to break up a debate between Rey and the boys. Taima smiled to herself and she put the credits in her pocket and entered the kitchen.
After twenty minutes of telling old war stories from the days of the Rebellion, Taima, followed by two protocol droids, delivered the food to the table. Finn, Rey, and Poe stared at their plates in shock. The twins looked at each other and couldn't help but to share a chuckle. The group chowed down on their food and occasionally looked up. After receiving the shuura pie, Finn kicked Rey's foot and she looked up from her dessert.
"Okay, but let me finish." she mouthed. She finish the last bite of her pie and bid everyone a good night, kissing her father's forehead as she passed. Finn held out his hand and Rey took it gracefully.
They navigated through the hallways until they got to Rey's quarters. There was a note on the door. It read:
Rey,
Before I even start, I just want to say sorry for throwing a bunch of surprises at you. All of your belongings have been moved to Room 1138. Finn's belongings have also been moved there, too.
-Leia
Rey started to run down the hall with Finn right on her tail.
"What are you doing? Your room is back there!" Finn yelled has Rey grabbed his hand and sprinted faster. Finn was practically flying. They ran up a stairwell and sprinted past a few more doors before they stopped.
"Welcome home!" Rey said as she punched in the keycode. The door slid open and a large room filled with furniture were waiting for them. The whole room had the nice smell of home, something both Rey and Finn never experienced in their lives.
"This is just…...wow." Finn said as he rubbed the top of the couch. Rey walked around the kitchen and looked at all of the new appliances. There were top-of-the-line stovetops and refrigerators. Finn ran down the hallway and ran into the room Rey was standing in.
"I'll take this one, so you can have the bigger one." Finn offered.
"I guess." Rey responded with a shrug. She walked out of the room and went over to her new room. The bed was a little too big for one person. The room was very large, which meant it was the master bedroom.
That night, Rey was fighting in her sleep, and it was loud. Finn couldn't bear it anymore. He got out of bed and went over to her room. She was kicking and punching the pillow beside her. Finn did the best that he could to quietly sneak over to her side of the bed. He calmly set his hand on Rey's cheek and squatted down so he was at eye-level.
"Rey, calm down." he whispered as he dragged his thumb in a circular motion on her cheek. Slowly, Rey opened her eyes to see Finn's dark brown concerned ones. He stood up and gently kissed her temple. The bed started to move and Rey turned on her side to see Finn laying there.
He wrapped his arm around her.
"It's alright, I'm here." Finn whispered into Rey's hair. She moved closer to Finn's shoulder and fell asleep.
"OPEN THE KRIFFING DOOR!" A loud bang rang throughout the large apartment. Finn woke with a start and yanked the comforter off of the bed. He jumped up and threw on an old t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.
"Get dressed." Finn barked as Rey sat up and rubbed her eyes. He dabbed on a little bit of deodorant and adjusted his clothes before opening the door. Poe was standing there with a mixed look of excitement and anger.
"What were you doing in there? I've been waiting for you for the past hour!" Poe boomed.
"Well it's only 7:28 in the morning, and we both don't start our duties until 9:00." Finn said as he rubbed his eyes.
"Oh. Sorry to wake you up. I came here to ask you about a good meal to make, because I have a date." Poe said apologetically.
"So who's the lucky lady?" Finn asked as he let his friend inside. Rey was standing in the hallway.
"Yeah, who is she?" Rey teased.
"You'll find out when she gets here."
Sorry for posting this VERY later. School does this. Anyway, a new chapter is in the works but will not be out until June after SOLs. (People in Virginia USA will understand)
I don't know who Poe's girl is, which is why I opened a poll to find out. Please vote!
Oh yeah:
MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU
