Kylo Ren knew Rey would be mad when she got to their shared dream world, so he decided to take some precautionary measures. He turned the room into what had been her room at the Jedi temple. He even had her old teddy bear lying on her bed. Now, all he had to do was wait. He sat on the bed and levitated the bear around the room in order to fend off boredom.

Rey fought sleep for as long as she could. She did not want to see him. What would she say? What would she do? She would just fall back into him, and why shouldn't she? He cared about her. He made that obvious. He wanted her. She wanted him. Why shouldn't they be together in the one place where it was safe? She could be Rey, and he could be Ben. They didn't have to be enemies. They could just be. With that thought in mind, Rey let herself succumb to sleep and welcomed their dream world with open arms.

Rey looked around the room with awe. It was exactly as she had remembered, and then she saw him. He was sitting on what had been her bed while levitating a bear. He noticed her staring and sent the bear to her, bringing it to a stop in front of her. Rey slowly reached out to touch the bear. Once it was securely in her arms, Kylo Ren released his hold on it and stood to walk over to her.

"Oh, Ben..." she said as she took hugged the bear.

"Do you remember when I gave that to you?" He asked her.

"Of course. It was one of the best days of my childhood."

Rey and Ben had been stuck inside all week due to the rain. They had been practicing non-stop because Ben and Rey had a test coming up, and if they both passed, then they would advance in rank. And now, today was the day of the test and they stood outside the old Jedi Council chambers.

"Are you nervous?" Ben asked the little seven year old as she fidgeted beside him. This wasn't her first test, but if she passed then she could officially be Ben's Padawan, and if Ben passed, then he would only be one rank away from being a Jedi knight.

"No, I'm okay," she responded.

"I wish I could go in with you," he told her.

"NO!"

"Why not? "

"You'll only make me more nervous!" She told him. Ben laughed, and then Master Luke came out.

"Ben, it's time for your test. Are you ready?" Master Luke asked.

"Of course, Uncle," he replied as he turned to Rey, "Don't worry, I'll be out soon." Ben gave the young one a wink and was gone. Rey waited for what felt like hours, but it was only about 15 minutes, and then Ben came out looking defeated.

"It's okay, there's always next time," she said when she saw his face.

"I know, but next time it'll be a different test, because I passed!" He exclaimed as he laughed at her expression.

"Ben, you're so mean! I was worried," Rey said with a pout.

"Don't pout, Padawan. It makes you look like a brat. Besides, it's your turn. I know you'll do great, and when you get out, we'll go on an adventure."

"Okay!" She said as she ran in to take her test. Ben was calm for the first five minutes she was gone, but then he began to pace. Rey emerged from her exam to find Ben pacing in a circle.

"What are you doing? You're going to make yourself dizzy," Rey giggled. Ben stopped his pacing and turned towards her.

"Well? How'd it go?" He asked.

"I passed," Rey said like it was nothing.

"Oh, well that's good I guess," he replied in the same tone. Then, she saw his grin widen into a full-fledged smile as he ran towards her and picked her up. He threw her over his shoulder.

"I'm so proud of you," he said as he started to spin.

"Ben, put me down! You're making me dizzy!" She laughed. Ben stopped spinning, but didn't put her down. Instead, he started walking.

"Where are we going? " Rey asked as she bounced on his shoulder.

"You'll see."

Ben kept walking. He walked down the hall, down the stairs, and out to the hangar. They boarded the Millennium Falcon.

"Are we supposed to be here? " She asked him.

"It's my dad's ship. He said I could borrow it when I wanted. Besides, this way he has to spend more time with mom. Now buckle up," he told her as he started the ship and flew them out of the planet's atmosphere. They hit hyperspace and eventually came out around a cluster of moons. They landed on a heavily forested planet and got out of the ship.

"Ben, why are we here? And where is here?"

"This is Endor. My dad told me about how they fought here. According to my mother, there are some really cute living teddy bears that live here."

"Ben... do the teddy bears carry spears?"

"I don't think so. Why?"

"Because there's a teddy bear running towards us with one," she replied as she pointed at the incoming Ewok. Ben prepared himself to fight, but then Rey stopped him.

"Ben, do you have the translator on you?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Maybe we can talk to them."

"I don't think there's time for talking," Ben warned as the Ewok came running closer.

"You're right, this is the time for action!" Rey said as she ran towards the Ewok.

"Rey, wait!" Ben called out after her, but she didn't stop. She ran right up to the Ewok, and the Ewok stopped running. He tilted his head and looked at her. She pointed to the spear and then to the ground. The Ewok dropped the spear and looked down.

"Oh, don't be sad!" Rey said as she hugged him.

"Ben! They're so soft!" She called back to him. The Ewok took her by the hand and led them to their village. Ewoks surrounded them.

"Is now the time to talk?" Rey asked them.

Ben took out his translator and spoke into it.

"We just came to visit. You helped my parents out years ago during a big battle here against the empire," he told them.

One of the older Ewoks stepped forward and began to speak.

"We helped the gold one and his friends. Are you their son?" She asked.

"Yes. My name is Ben, and this is my Padawan, Rey. I've heard stories about here and I wanted to see it for myself," he told them. There was a tense moment, but then the Ewok responded.

"Well, then you and your friend are welcome here. You must stay for lunch and tell us about what's going on in the galaxy. It's been forever since we've had visitors," she told them. Ben and Rey stayed for lunch and then for two more hours before Ben decided they should go home.

"But, why?" Rey whined.

"Because you've been up since early this morning and you look tired. Not to mention we need to get back before my dad realizes his ship is missing," he responded.

"I thought you said you had permission?"

"I lied."

"BEN. Jedi don't lie."

"Good thing I'm not a full Jedi, then." Rey groaned but followed him back to the ship. They waved goodbye to their new friends and soon found themselves traveling in hyperspace. Once he put the Millennium Falcon on autopilot, he unbuckled Rey's seat belt and carried her back to one of the ship's bunks.

"But, Ben, I'm not even tired," she said with a yawn.

"Mhm. Sure. Keep telling yourself that, Padawan. You've had a long day. Get some sleep," he told her as he tucked her in. She yawned and turned towards the wall as Ben walked back to the cockpit. It would take three hours to get back to the Jedi temple, and his dad would be furious that he had borrowed his ship without asking, but he didn't care. It was worth it to see the joy on Rey's face when she hugged that first Ewok. Ben took the ship off autopilot and guided them back home.

The next morning when Rey woke up, she found herself back in her bed at the Jedi temple. She was beginning to question whether or not yesterday was real, and that's when she saw it: a teddy bear. It was a brown teddy bear with a red ribbon tied around its neck, sitting on the nightstand beside her bed. It had been real. It had all been real.

"You gave me this as a reminder of our time with the Ewoks on Endor," Rey told him, "You borrowed your father's ship and drove us there. You must have gotten in so much trouble since I didn't see you for three days afterwards, and you never talked about it, but whenever I would bring it up, you'd just wink at me. You never did tell me why you did it."

"I loved making you smile. I still do," he told her with a smirk as he brushed some strands of hair away from her face.

"Rey, I'm sorry about earlier. I wish it were simple and I could just give up everything, but I can't. Not now at least. Maybe not ever, but I'd rather not think that there's no hope for us," he explained as he pulled her in for a hug.

She rested her head on his chest. "Is there an us?" She asked him.

"I want there to be," he sincerely told her. She could feel his want for her wash over her and leave her breathless. She looked up at his face to see that his eyes had gotten dark with desire.

"Do you want there to be an us?" He asked her.

She couldn't breathe, let alone think, with him looking at her like that. Yet somehow, a part of her answered for her, "Yes."

Kylo Ren crashed his lips onto hers. Rey dropped the bear on the ground and weaved her fingers in his hair, pulling his face closer when he tried to pull away. He was walking backwards towards the bed, she realized.

Kylo Ren sat himself on the bed and pulled Rey into his lap and continued to kiss her. He moaned as she bit his lip and took the opportunity to explore his mouth with her tongue. They were caught in a battle for dominance, and Kylo Ren decided he wouldn't let her win. He kissed her back with such ferocity and passion, almost to the point where she felt like she was drowning in his desire for her. She pulled away breathless.

"Do you feel it?" She asked him in a small voice as she moved to sit next to him.

"The pull?"

"Ben, we're supposed to be together. It's...right."

"I know. What are we going to do?"

"We'll find a way. Won't we?"

"Love always finds a way."

"Do you love me?" She asked him in a hopeful voice.

"Rey, I have always loved you. It hasn't always been in a romantic way, but now it is. I love you. I always have, and I always will."

"Ben?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too," she said as she captured his lips with hers. She could feel him smile against her. He pulled away from her as they started to fade.

"We'll find a way, Rey. I will never leave you again," he vowed, and with one final kiss, they parted.
