The moment Ben saw Rose come down the stairs the next morning, he pushed a slice of banana bread into her hands. "Finn's waking up this morning. Let's go."

She made no protest, already shoving a large chunk of bread into her mouth, following Ben and Maz out to Ben's rental.

When they entered the hospital, the receptionist glanced up and laughed. "I was just about to call you. Finn Samuel is awake. Same room he's been in."

"Thank you," they echoed, already headed to the elevator.

Finn was sitting up and slowly eating a bowl of watery oatmeal. "Hi!"

Rose was first to his side, hugging him as much as she could without bothering his bandages.

"Hey," he chuckled hoarsely. "Hi, Solo."

"Did you just call me Solo?"

Finn smiled, hugging Rose as tight as he could for being unconscious for so long. "Is Rey coming?"

Rose frowned and stepped back, holding his hand. "Rey?"

"Yeah, she's the other boarder? In the green room?" He blinked and then shook his head. "Must have been a dream. Nobody's stayed in the green room." He leaned back and went back to focus on eating his oatmeal. "I must have had this really vivid dream with this lady named Rey. She was really friendly and took care of all the plants."

Ben sighed and sat down, a small smile in the corner of his mouth. "You missed all the excitement. Do you want to tell him, Rose?"

Rose obliged, filling him in on everything-the car accident, what happened with Hux, the nature of Rey, trying to resurrect Paige-as he finished his oatmeal.

"Rey's not here now," Ben told them, "but she did let me know that she enjoyed talking with you." He laughed then. "You also showed up in my class a few times. I really appreciate your dedication to school, but we'll make sure that you'll be taken care of as far as school is concerned. Holdo has assured me that your semester has been refunded, and you weren't penalized for missing your classes."

Finn stared at the wall unfocused. "This is wild."

"It is a lot, isn't it?" Rose agreed.

"Are you sure I'm still not asleep?"

Rose squeezed his hand. "Very sure."

Ben found himself sitting on the daybed in the green room, staring out the windows at the night sky. It was growing colder, and he had just finished bringing plants in off the deck. Though Halloween was only the next day, there was already frost forming from the dew overnight. The night was quiet and soft, and it felt like home with Rey sitting beside him in the dark room.

"I've never actually said it, have I?" Rey whispered.

"Said what, Sweetheart?"

"That I love you?"

He quirked a smile and took her ghostly palm in his. "If you hadn't yet, you have now." He stroked his thumb over her spirit. "Do you?"

She nodded. "Very much. Almost as much as Rose loves Paige."

"Oh...like a sibling then?"

Rey shook her head. "No, the depth of it."

He smiled and glanced at her. "What do you want, Rey, with your life? What would you do with your life if we got it back for you?"

Rey was quiet as she pondered. "Eat. I would eat the fruit I grow. The blackberries and the tomatoes. And pizza. I loved pizza so much. Plutt had frozen pizza? And that was my favorite."

Ben laughed. "Frozen pizza from the 50s? I'll have to take you to a nice pizzeria."

Rey's eyes lit up. "Travel! We should travel!"

Ben smiled. "And where would we go?"

"England! I was born there, I think. California! Hollywood where all the movies were made. DC to see your mother!"

"And when we weren't traveling?"

"We'd be here. It's home. I'm sure Maz would let us stay. You'd work at the college. I'll have my plants." She beamed. "Get rid of Plutt and take over his auto shop. Have Rose really help me out." She leaned against Ben's shoulder. "Visit your mother. Let your father visit. You'll have to make sure I can see him if I can't after I get my body back. Have your uncle Chewie visit too. Have a family of our own."

"Would you want that?"

"Children? Yes, of course. With you. We'll be excellent parents. We won't abandon them. We'll put them first. We'll teach them how to be safe with magic. We'll protect them from demons. We'll make sure they always know they're loved. Can you imagine how good we'd be?"

Ben found that he was crying.

"Ben, What's wrong?"

"My father died for me."

"Are you're worried you wouldn't die for them?"

"No, I'd die for them in an instant, and they don't even exist yet."

Rey threw her arms around his shoulders. "Let's pray there's never a need to die for them."

He chuckled and leaned his cheek against her forehead.

Halloween came with minimal pomp. Maz had added little bundles of drying herbs at the windows and rock salt along the windowsills. Ben had spent the daytime at work and then once class finished, reinforcing the protective spells around Maz's property. Rose had gone to school and then the hospital to spend the holiday with Finn who was staying until his back was properly healed.

As the sun lowered in the sky, children began trickling through the streets. Maz took up her post at the front door with a large bowl of candy.

Ben looked through the window as children ran from door to door. "I remember there being more children when I was young."

Rey peered over his desk out the window. "I never really went trick-or-treating. I tried to sneak out once to go, but..." She shrugged and shook her head. "Plutt was not a kind guardian."

Ben nodded. "We'll take care of him. One day. After we get your body."

"What about your car?"

"It's got some protections over it. Plutt can't rip it apart. I know it's all in one piece. It's not the end of the world if I can't get it back. The worst he can do is sell it." He turned back to his bedroom. "What I'm worried about is your body and soul. How are we going to get all of you together?"

Rey sighed and looked to the bookshelf. "I really don't know. Would your grandfather know anything?"

He shrugged, putting his hands in his pockets. "I haven't tried reaching out to him again."

"Well tonight is perfect," she decided with a nod, setting her hand on the shelf the obsidian stones rested on.

"Alright, Sweetheart," he agreed. He waved his hand and the stones floated down, joining his circling candles.

He chalked out a circle big enough for Rey to join him in his circle. He sat down and crossed his legs, offering his hand to help Rey into the circle over the candles.

"I'm not going to get burned," she laughed.

"Join me, regardless."

She did, taking his hand and folding her legs like Ben had his own. He took her other hand in his. He closed his eyes and suddenly reopened them. He gave a wave of his hand for his grandmother's pendant to fly across the room to join them. "Maybe this will help him be coherent."

Rey smiled as it settled in the circle of obsidian stones. Ben closed his eyes and set about summoning his grandfather.

Rey sat silently, holding Ben's hands, studying his face. It was easier to explore his face when his eyes weren't poring into her soul, and his eyes were always so intense, expressive. He looked so young, so soft. The scar that cracked his face was no longer large, angry, nor irritated as it was when it was new, and she found that she actually quite liked it. His face wasn't symmetrical, and it never had been. His nose was prominent, but it fit the rest of his proportions. His lips, though, always caught her off guard. No man should have lips like him.

Her eyes fluttered down, now embarrassed that she had been thinking of him like that. The black stones and medallion were clustered together between them. Rey frowned. The medallion was leaning against an obsidian, and where they met was now changing to a twinkling rivulet of clear crystal.

"Ben."

He opened his eyes and followed her gaze. He let her hands go and picked up the stone and medallion. He turned the obsidian in the light so that the streak of clear crystal sparkled in the light.

"It's like what happened with our crystals."

"It certainly seems like it." He set the pair off to the side so they wouldn't do anything to the other stones.

They returned to their silence, except for the gentlest flicker of the candles in the dimming light.

"Padme?"

Ben opened his eyes again to look up at the standing image of his grandfather. He looked younger, like in the pictures Ben had seen.

"Grandfather."

"Where is Padme?"

Ben picked up the medallion.

Anakin Skywalker's eyes were drawn to him. "Where is Padme?" His voice, now younger and smoother, was low and sad and pleading.

"I don't know," Ben answered. "But I am seeking your guidance, Grandfather."

"Grandfather," Anakin's voice echoed. "Luke?"

"I am Leia's son."

"Leia."

Ben stood, guiding Rey to her feet.

"You look like Padme," Anakin whispered, eyes flitting across Ben's face. His image flickered briefly between the old man Ben normally encountered and the young one now in front of him.

"Grandfather, I would like to resurrect Rey, this girl," Ben pushed forward, looking down at Rey at his side.

The vision before them flickered violently until finally disappearing from view.

Ben sighed and looked back to Rey. "I've never seen him so clear and coherent."

"He's still so sad."

Rose dumped a bag of Halloween candy in a large orange bowl Maz had offered her when she had told her she was going to see Finn. "Wouldn't want you to miss out on the festivities."

Finn chuckled and reached out for her hand to hug her. "Thanks, Rose." She laughed and hugged him tight before flopping into the chair beside him and open up her engineering book.

He dug into the bowl to grab a Baby Ruth. "So I've been thinking, you were saying something about how Rey's really this mechanic."

Rose glanced up. "Her body is. Her spirit hangs out around Maz's." She smiled as she looked back down at the book. "Don't tell ProSo I told you, but he's madly in love with her. Like absolutely smitten with her."

Finn quirked an eyebrow. "He's in love with a ghost?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm in love with you, aren't I?"

Finn stared at her. "You are?"

"Of course I am, Dummy," She sighed, throwing another Baby Ruth at him. "But what were you thinking about Rey?"

He started opening the candy. "Well, you guys are planning on getting her body? To try to resurrect her or whatever? How are you going to do it?"

Rose shrugged. "No idea. I'm leaving that up to ProSo. He's the magic around here."

"Do you think you'll need magic? Because I'm pretty sure I can get her out." He stuffed the chocolate in his mouth.

Rose turned her head to him. "Are you serious? You've just been in a coma! I'm not letting you try to liberate Flesh Rey!"

Finn snorted with his mouthful of chocolate. He swallowed painfully. "Flesh Rey?"

"There's our Rey, and then her body Rey, and we couldn't call the physical Rey Real Rey because she's not the real Rey, she's just the body, so we call them Real Rey and Flesh Rey to keep them straight."

"I should've stayed in a coma."

"Very Funny Finn Samuel."

"And not until I'm out of the hospital, but it looks like I've got some free time so I can help you get Flesh Rey out."

"Alright," Rose obliged, narrowing her eyes. "But I'll be coming with you."
