AN: Hey everyone! As I post this the story has reached 2,000 views! (Cue me jumping up and down from excitement.) Thank you to everyone who reads this, follows it, and reviews. I couldn't do this without you so thank you all sooo much!

I'd like to thank Owl eyes 1327 for following this and adding it to your favorites, thank you so much.

SaintsFan1- I'm glad that you liked what I did with Rey's parentage, I'm happy that it was well received. I like Darth Maul too and decided that it would be fun to add him in, glad you liked it. Rey will definitely have to think about which side of the force she wants to be on, hopefully her training sessions with Kylo will help her to realize that. I'm glad that you found Rey's reactions to the deserts amusing, I thought it was a nice way to add some humor in. Besides I don't think that Rey had ever really had desert before and I imagine that's what her reaction would be like. Thanks again for reviewing!

C.Z.B.- Hux will always be his cocky self, and I'm happy that his and Kylo's interaction made you laugh. Im glad you liked their little dinner date, if you want to call it that. There is definitely an attraction between the two and it will surface soon enough, just wait. ;) I'm glad that you liked Rey's family heritage I took an odd turn with it and I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks again for reviewing!

Owl eyes 1327- Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you're enjoying it! It made my day knowing that it's one of your favorite Reylo fanfics, thank you so much! And thanks for reviewing!

I think that you guys are really going to like this chapter, but I don't want to keep you waiting any longer. Let's get started!

Chapter 19

Rey had entered the training room the next morning, and by the looks of things she had beat Kylo there. There wasn't much in the space, just a few dummies, a small shooting range, a mat that looked like it was used for combat training, and some practice weapons. But there were also crates, boxes, and other large objects that were most likely put there for their training session. The door opened and she turned to see Kylo standing in the doorway. "Good you're here already. Let's get started."

"You're not going to make me run laps or do some physical exercise or something first?"

"Why would I do that? I'm not going to make you run around the ship. And I don't think that it's really necessary for a levitation lesson. Perhaps when I help you improve your lightsaber skills."

"Oh alright. It's just that's what Luke had me do before we started training."

"Well I'm not Luke, am I?"

"Definitely not. And do you really have to have your helmet on while we train? It's not like I'm going to hit you."

"Fine, but if something goes flying into my head it's your fault."

"I think I'm okay with that." She smirked as he set his helmet aside, he was so easy to crack jokes at. "So how do we start?"

"Well I want to see what you can do first."

"I thought we established that with the whole me not being able to lift the remote thing."

"Yes, but I didn't see it. I want to see what you already know."

"Do you have something small?"

"Why don't you just lift up a crate or something?"

"Because I can only lift small things." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"This is going to take awhile. Here, you can lift my lightsaber." He took it off of his belt and set it onto the floor in the middle of them.

"Why can't I use my lightsaber?"

"Because it's in my room, in a place where you can't find it. I'll give you back your lightsaber when we spar if you promise not to kill anyone with it. We'll use mine for now."

"Fine. And I wouldn't kill anyone." He raised his eyebrow in question. "Okay maybe a few stormtroopers and maybe Hux, but I don't think anyone else really."

"And you wonder why I don't want you to have it yet."

"Oh shut up."

"I will if you actually lift up the saber."

"Okay I'll do it. Stop pressuring me."

"I'm not." She gave him a glare and he put his hands up as if in surrender. Rey sighed as she tried to feel the force around her. She concentrated as hard as she could and aimed it at the lightsaber on the ground. She lifted it a couple of inches into the air for 2 minutes before she lost her hold and let it drop.

"That's all I got."

"You're kidding right? That was barely anything."

"I'm not kidding."

"I've got a lot of work to do."

"Hey!"

"What? You barely know anything. Alright, tell me what you were doing."

"Well I tried to feel the force around me and then when I got hold of it I aimed it at the lightsaber to lift it up. And then I lost my hold on it and it dropped."

"I see the problem, you're not fully controlling the force."

"Yes I was."

"No you weren't. You had a very loose grip on it to the point where you just let it do what it wanted. You need to take control and bend it to the way that you want to use it. And this isn't just for levitation, it's for any action really."

"How do I do that?"

"You have to bend it to your will. Make it obey your command. You have to really concentrate, when you do it enough times it doesn't require as much concentration it just sort of happens."

"Um okay."

"Try again." Rey closed her eyes this time and felt the force surround her. She tried to take control, tried to make it do what she wanted. When she felt that she had a good grip she moved it around the lightsaber and began to lift it. "That's it Rey, make it do what you want. Now lift it higher." She did as she was told and could feel it begin to rise. "You can open your eyes now."

She slowly opened her eyelids and she saw that she was lifting the lightsaber almost to the ceiling. "I can't believe that I'm actually doing this."

"Alright, now slowly bring it back down." She carefully maintained her grip on the saber until it made it's way to the floor and landed softly. "Excellent Rey."

"Thanks." Kylo called his lightsaber to him and it flew immediately into his hands. He put it back onto his belt and went to move one of the crates towards Rey.

"Okay, now I want you to lift this crate."

"Uh, shouldn't I try to lift something a little smaller. Like maybe a rock."

"We don't have rocks on the ship Rey. And I think you'll be fine with this. It's not that heavy. I have others with different weights for you to lift. Now do what you did with my saber, just use more of the force."

"Okay. Are you sure about this?"

"Relax Rey, you'll be fine. But just in case I'll go over here." He quickly moved to the far side of the room.

"Gee that makes me feel so much more confident." She put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes.

"Just a precaution."

"Uh huh."

"I believe in you Rey. Can you give me my helmet?"

"Okay now you're just messing around." She saw a smile spread across his face as her theory was proven right. She shook her head and smiled, he was definitely different than Luke with his teaching style.

Joking aside she did what she did before but tried to control more of the force. When she felt that she had enough she surrounded the crate and began to lift it off the ground. There was sweat starting to come down her face but she didn't lose focus. She lifted it halfway to the ceiling when Kylo asked her to bring it down. When it touched the floor she let go a breath that she didn't know that she'd been holding.

"Very good Rey. You're a fast learner. Do you want to take a break to catch your breath?"

"Yeah sure." She went over to one of the benches and sat down. That took a lot out of her, but she was still amazed that she'd been able to do it. "I can't believe that I just did that." Kylo sat next to her and handed her some water that she gladly took.

"You just needed the right push, and a good teacher. I think I did pretty well, if I do say so myself." She laughed and playfully shoved him at the comment. He chuckled at that and looked down at her.

"Don't pat yourself on the back just yet. I've got a long ways to go."

"Don't remind me. You're practically a youngling." She scoffed at him.

"I am not. I think I'm better than a youngling, and much older too."

"True. But I still consider you a newbie."

"Whatever. Shall we get back to work?"

"Don't you mean I should get back to work? I'm the one teaching you all this."

"Hey, lifting a crate is hard work too."

"Yeah, but not as hard as teaching you."

"Alright you asked for it." She shoved him so hard that it knocked him off the bench and she doubled over laughing.

"Very funny. Now let's see how you like it." He force pushed her across the room and she tripped and fell on the sparring mat. This time it was Kylo who was laughing as he stood up.

"Oh ha ha. That's so amusing." He began to laugh even more as he walked over to her.

"Oh it is." Rey stood up and waited until he was close enough to the mat. She got ready to tackle him and when she charged she didn't slow down. But she didn't feel the impact, instead she felt herself being lifted from behind. "Nice try Rey, but I read your thoughts."

"Oh great." She began squirming to try and free herself, but it only caused him to tighten his hold on her waist. "Kylo put me down."

"Suit yourself." He let her feet touch the ground but he didn't let go.

"When I said put me down I also meant let go."

"Well then you should have said that."

"Oh come on." She tried to break his hold but he just kept laughing at her situation. "Let go."

"I don't think so, I kind of like seeing you squirm." She managed to turn herself around in his arms so she could look at him in the face. An idea popped into her head and it was sure to make him let go.

"Well then, I don't think I need words to make you let me go."

"Oh really?"

"Mmmhmm." Rey put her little plan into action as she slowly started to move closer to him as she wrapped her hands around his neck. Kylo picked up on what she was doing and had a smirk on his face, she was a clever one. He could feel her breath and he too began to slowly close the gap between them.

Their lips were so close together that they could touch, but before they did the door opened and they immediately let go, trying to act as if they weren't just about to kiss. Kylo looked in the direction of the door and saw Hux standing in the doorway.

He put his hand into a fist to try and consume his anger. Hux always had to come and barge in at the wrong time, he was finally going to kiss her and then he ruined it. "What do you want Hux, we're trying to train."

"Well the Supreme Leader wants an update."

"Then tell him that everything's fine and that things are improving nicely. Now if you don't mind I'd like you to leave."

"Very well, but I want to see what Rey can do as well before I go and report it." Kylo was about to answer when Rey beat him to it.

"Alright. Why don't you stand over there." Hux went to where she was pointing and she turned to Kylo. "Get one of the boxes over there, and make sure it's got something heavy in it."

"Are you sure about this, don't you want to pace yourself?"

"Oh I'm sure." She winked at him and he realized what she was up to. He had an evil smirk on his face as he went to get the box she wanted. He brought it over to her and made a point to stand away from Hux.

"Whenever you're ready Rey. You'll be surprised at how fast she's improving Hux."

"I'll believe it when I see it." Rey took as much of the force into her control and surrounded it around the box. Kylo was right, once she got the hang of it it was getting easier to lift it. She wasn't thinking about it as much as before, she was still struggling because it was heavier, but she was doing pretty well. Kylo told her to put it down and she did as she was told. But before she set it on the ground she let it hover a few feet from the floor. Hux was beginning to become impatient. "Well, are you you going to put it down or not."

She tried to conceal her smile as she quickly moved her hands in Hux's direction, sending the box flying. Hux dodged but the box hit his back and it made him go into the wall. Rey and Kylo tried to conceal their laughter, when Rey got hers under control she apologized to Hux. "Sorry Hux, I didn't realize that if I moved my hands the slightest bit it would go flying."

They watched as he slowly got up. "Don't you ever do that again."

"Yeah, sure, okay." Kylo came up behind her when he too got his laughter under control.

"I told you she was improving Hux. Now if you don't mind, I need to continue our lesson."

"Very well. But if she did that on purpose it's on you. She's your responsibility Ren."

"I know." Hux left the room in a huff and when the doors closed the two let out the laughter that they had been holding in. "That was amazing Rey! I didn't know that you had it in you!"

"Are you kidding me, I've been wanting to get payback for what he did! Besides he deserved what he got for walking in on us!" The two continued to laugh until their stomachs hurt. Rey did have a dark side to her, and when she let it show it was definitely a sight to see as Kylo just witnessed.

Kylo put his hand on her shoulder which caused her to look up at him. "That's my girl." The two stopped laughing and just stared at each other with smiles on their faces.

Rey wrapped her arms around his neck and he responded by putting his arms around her waist. The two didn't waste any time in resuming the position that they were interrupted in. As they looked into each other's eyes they closed the gap between them and let their lips touch.

It was soft for about a minute until Kylo brought her closer to him and started giving it more passion. Rey responded immediately by doing the same. Their lips were perfectly in sync as if they had done this a million times before. It seemed to last forever and the two couldn't care less if anyone else walked in on them.

When they separated for air they looked at one another with smiles beginning to spread on their faces. Rey felt heat begin to rise to her face and she saw that Kylo was blushing himself. They let go of each other and just stood there, waiting for one of them to speak. It was Kylo that relieved the silence between them. "So um, shall we continue training?"

"Uh yeah, I'd like that." Rey practiced levitating for the rest of the day with different sized objects, each one getting heavier and bigger as they went on. They looked at each other more than they should and each time she locked eyes with him it made her blush.

Once she got the hang of lifting things he taught her how to move them around. That part wasn't as hard, and it was easy to learn. "You're a natural Rey, I think you've mastered the art of levitation in one day. And that's impressive."

"Thanks, that means a lot coming from you."

"I think we can move on to something else tomorrow. You must be tired, take the night off."

"Alright. What about you?"

"I still have work to do around here."

"The same time tomorrow?"

"Yeah. I'll see you later."

"Okay." She began to walk away when she turned around and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "See ya later." She walked back to her room and couldn't help but have a spring in her step. She felt a rush that she'd never felt before and it pleased her. There was just something about him that changed her entire outlook on everything.

If staying with the First Order would be like this most of the time, then she wouldn't mind staying if it meant she got to be close by to him.

As Kylo carried out his duties he couldn't help but think about Rey. When they kissed all of his worries and stress had left him. It was as if they were the only two people on board, and if that caused a problem for Snoke he didn't care.

Perhaps he did have compassion for her, and there was a strong possibility that the compassion could turn into something more.

Leia had found a new place to stay in the nick of time. As they left bounty hunters were beginning to show up, along with a couple of stray tie fighters. They weren't noticed leaving Florrum but they had a few close calls that could've gotten them killed.

She had found a planet with life, but it was in the outer rim and was uncharted. This allowed them to stay there without having the possibility of being detected. The planet's name was Esteron and it was a grassland type planet with several lakes. When she found it there were several towns and it was filled with all kinds of people, but the best part was that there was a makeshift military base that was the perfect place to put their ships.

She had talked to the leader of the area and he agreed to have them stay on the base for as long as they needed. They couldn't be bothered so they could stay as long as they wanted.

When everyone had landed at their new home it didn't take long for them to unload and make themselves comfortable. Everyone seemed to adjust well, even Luke approved, saying that he felt a strong connection to the force. Everyone seemed happy, they were safe and they could come up with a plan on how to take down the First Order without any disturbances.

Well, almost everyone was happy. Finn was still upset that they couldn't find Rey and that she wouldn't send out another search party. She was worried for her, but she knew Rey could take care of herself, in a way she was a lot like her.

As everyone was beginning to get settled Finn approached her. "What is it Finn? Could you not find a room or something?"

"No everything's fine General, I like it here."

"Good because this is going to be our new home for awhile."

"Yeah. But I wanted to talk to you about Rey." She sighed, how did she know he was going to bring that up.

"Finn I already told you that we're not sending out another search party. If you couldn't find them then there's no point in going on a wild goose chase."

"But we have to rescue her. What if I go in the Falcon alone, then nobody from the Resistance will die."

"I appreciate the concern Finn but you can't fly. And the Falcon is too recognizable, you'd most likely lead them back to us."

"I'm not giving up on her. Kylo Ren is probably torturing her, she's probably in so much pain and she's just waiting for us to rescue her."

"I highly doubt that."

"Just because he's your son doesn't mean that he isn't capable of it."

"That's out of line Finn, I don't want you to ever bring up that topic again! Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes General."

"Good, now I have to make preparations with the General of this base and try to figure out the arrangement of everything. So if you don't mind leaving, I'd greatly appreciate it."

"Yes General." She watched as Finn went into the base, no doubt trying to find Poe. She rubbed her temples as they were beginning to throb. Finn was never going to let this go, she'd have to have someone watch him from a distance just in case he tried anything.

She didn't want to have to find a new place to stay, and if Finn went to get her on his own, he'd no doubt lead the First Order straight to them. She went to go find the General of the base, she needed something to distract her from Finn.

Finn tried to navigate around his new surroundings until he found the person he was looking for. He walked up to Poe and he looked up when he heard footsteps. "Hey Finn, what's up?"

"I have a plan to go get Rey."

"Oh come on man, I thought I told you to let that go."

"I can't knowing that she's in danger."

"What if she isn't in danger Finn, have you ever thought of that? What if she willingly left with Kylo? What if he isn't doing anything to her? They have a force connection Finn and I don't think Kylo would want to hurt her after everything they've said to each other. You can't just always assume the worst."

"I don't buy it. He's evil and the First Order is evil. There is no way that she's safe there."

"I can see why Rey didn't want to tell you. You're overreacting."

"I am not, I'm just concerned about her."

"There's a fine line between concern and taking things too far."

"Well I don't see you caring about her safety."

"Of course I care about her safety Finn. But I know that she can handle herself. And besides she explained the whole connection thing and from what I can tell Kylo isn't a madman with her. I don't think he's doing anything to her, and if he did she'd be able to do something about it."

"But what if-"

"No more what ifs Finn."

"Fine, will you at least hear my plan?" Poe sighed, he might as well if it would get him to calm down.

"Go ahead."

"I'm thinking that we wait a few days for everyone to get settled and to see if they can find where the First Order is. If not then we'll just check all of the systems again. Anyway, when we do leave we don't use any of our own ships. We borrow one from this base and take it to go find Rey. This way we won't get recognized. We then sneak on board and try to find her, when we do we get her and take her back to the ship then we leave. It's simple."

"But what if we get spotted? Why would the First Order allow an unknown ship to land in their hangar?"

"We'll get the blueprints of the Finalizer and find a hangar that's barely used and never has any guards. We can borrow one of these ships with a cloaking device, I overheard General Organa talking to Luke about it."

"But how will we get Rey on board?"

"What are you talking about? That's the easiest part, there's no way that she'll want to stay on that ship as their prisoner any longer. We shouldn't have to do anything to convince her."

"But what if she doesn't want to leave?"

"I don't know, we'll knock her out or something."

"You've got to be kidding me."

"What?"

"You want to force Rey to leave, even if she doesn't want to. And the best idea that you have is to knock her out and hope that she won't wake up angry."

"What's wrong with it? Rey should want to leave in the first place."

"That's a lot of speculation there Finn, considering that we don't know what's going on over there."

"What does it matter, are you in or not? Because if you aren't I'll find someone else who is." Poe sighed as he looked at his friend, as much as he hated the idea he had no choice. He needed to keep an eye on him or he'd get himself killed.

"Fine I'm in, but only to make sure that this doesn't get out of hand."

"Perfect."

"And it's only the two of us, no one else. I'll bring BB-8 but that's it. We don't need anyone else getting killed because of this."

"Sounds good. I'll let you know when we're leaving." Poe watched as Finn left and he slapped himself repeatedly on the face. He needed to make sure that he wasn't dreaming. He was going to directly disobey orders just to find Rey and try a hopeless rescue mission alone.

Poe finished what he was doing and went to his new room. He just hoped that nothing would happen, and that for once Finn would realize he's being stupid. He sort of hoped that Rey wanted to stay, it would allow him to prove Finn wrong.

Of course he did miss her, but if she didn't have a problem staying there, why force her to leave? Poe yawned and went straight for his bed.

As he lied down he could tell that when this mission was going to happen, the odds would be stacked against them in a very bad way.

AN: I hope you guys liked it. This is my longest chapter yet and I hope that it was worth the wait. (I was about to post this earlier when I kind of got distracted, so sorry if I made you wait.)

Thank you all again for making this the success that it is, I couldn't do it without you.

Please feel free to review and let me know what you guys think.

I'll see you guys in the next chapter, may the force be with you!
