AN:
I'm back! Yay! Also, I know that it's been a little while since this happened, but Rian Johnson officially confirmed Reylo. As if we didn't know. I don't own Star Wars. The updates aren't going to be quite so often now, but rest assured that they are coming.
I'm trying on Wedding Dresses today.
Apparently, even though less than a dozen beings are going to be at my wedding, I still have to get a special dress.
Because my soon to be mother-in-law said so.
Yay.
I'm currently on Naboo which is where we're going to get married; Ben is currently testifying in General Hux's trial.
Since my fiancé is gone, Leia has decided that now is the perfect time to choose my wedding dress.
A dressmaker from Naboo has brought more dresses than I have ever seen in my life. Almost two dozen white gowns hang on racks along one of the walls. This is going to take a while. "Do you know what style of dress you want to wear?"
"No."
"Then we'll just have to try them all." Oh no.
-oOo-
"I guess that at the very least, it was a learning experience. I learned about many clothing things that I was unaware existed: zippers, embroidery, beading, etc. I was apparently woefully ignorant of everything."
"You didn't exactly grow up somewhere that you would have access to a variety of clothes."
"But I left over a year ago and somehow just not come across these things." I remind him. "Half of the dresses weighed more than me."
"Naboo is very…proud of their fashion. You should see half the gowns my grandmother wore."
"I've seen some paintings of her. She was very beautiful." The people of Naboo still adore their former Queen and Senator.
"My mother has her actual gowns."
"Really?"
"She's saving them in hopes of a granddaughter." Ben's cheeks tint red. We have not discussed having children. We probably should, but…I don't want to.
"I did choose a dress." Let's change topics.
"What does it look like?"
"I have been told that I can't tell you or show it to you."
"You can't tell me anything?" His full lips pout.
"It's white," He gives me an unamused look, "and a dress."
"Believe it or not, I've gathered that much on my own."
"You'll see it at our wedding."
"That I will." His pout is replaced by a small smile.
"How's everything going there?"
"Slowly, they still don't quite trust me alone." He sighs, fiddling with the ring around my finger. "Not that I blame them."
"Did you testify today?"
"Yes."
"Are you feeling alright?" That truth serum stuff is awful.
"I've almost gotten used to it."
"When should you be back?"
"A week standard if everything goes as planned."
-oOo-
"Maz?"
"Ah, Rey, how are you, child?"
"I'm alright. You?"
"Judging by that rock on your finger, you're better than alright." I should've known she would see it.
"Yes, I'm better than alright. That's actually what I contacted you about."
"Don't think that I haven't heard. Half the galaxy is talking about it. 'Kylo Ren apparently does have a heart.' 'There truly must be some good in him if a Jedi Master fell in love with him.' 'How ironic that the Jedi Killer fell in love with the last Jedi.'" The old woman muses. "Some people have already started treating the two of you as a fairytale."
"We're not even married yet."
"Oh, that doesn't matter, you transformed the most feared man in the galaxy into its hero."
"He did that himself."
"He did it for you." She graces me with a small smile. "Now, I feel as though there is something else that you want to tell me."
"Ben and I would like you to perform the ceremony."
"I would be honored."

Chapter 14:
Keepetofzoo: Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book.
Chapter 23:
justyna02: They decided to frame it as a victory for the Resistance when they first started the negotiations because they felt that the galaxy wasn't going to accept a truce. Kylo Ren has done many bad things, there's no way that everyone would just let him go free without a trial or something. It also helps to improve his image in the Galaxy, since he was compliant and allowed to be set free by the new, better government, then he can't be all bad. They need people to trust him, especially now with their planned school. No one is going to send their children to be trained by Kylo Ren, but they will send them to be trained by Ben Solo.

duke15tam: I couldn't leave y'all with nothing.
DarkSummerBrightWinter92: Thank you.
The Apocryphal One: I honestly don't even know what happened, it's a new laptop.
Marielle: Well, I hope this makes you feel better.
lucel18: We aren't going to be able to see Leia and Ben reunite on screen, but I couldn't bring myself to make it so here. I love our Space Queen more than almost anything and miss her more than some of my dead family members.
jeanvon24601: To their After!
Maryarey: They deserve their happily ever after.
Guest (How would you react in Kylo Ren dies in episode 9?): I would single-handedly destroy Disney and Lucasfilm. You can't just finally make me care about a Skywalker male and then kill him.
Emma Claire 93: Thank you.
Keepetofzoo: It's coming, slowly, but coming.
DecepticonSIC: I'll do my best.
Dumby95: Hey!
rainne.2000.16: Our baby boy is free!
Langley Lit: Thank you!
