"I love you"

"I love you too. Madly, crazy, can't imagine my life without you, in love with you." Rey smiled to herself. She had been replaying the previous night over and over again in her head. She had been able to tell Poe that she loved him and he returned her feelings.

Rey never thought that she would be able to love anyone. Growing up on Jakuu, she never saw love. Everyone was cold and it was about survival. If you cared it was a weakness, but the moment she found BB-8 everything changed. She met friends and gained a family, people that wanted her and to be around her. And Poe. She didn't know if this was a forever thing but she did know that right now it felt right.

She sat up in her bed. It was very comfortable but it too big for her. Even spreading her fingers and toes to the edges, she found that they didn't reach. It was just another thing that she was not used to. The one thing that the resistance had taught her was that occasionally it was okay to do something because you want to not because it is the only wave to survive.

The sun was not up yet but Rey found that going back to bed was pointless considering that the longer she thought about the night before she became less tired and more excited. Sliding off the bed she walked over to a dresser that she had seen one of the hand maidens put her small bag of clothes in. When she pulled the drawer open, she noticed that they had washed her clothing and added some more to her collection. Rey decided to wear one of the new pieces given to her. It was really close to what she would normally wear, the only difference being it was a pale blue color that reminded her of the sky here on Naboo.

After changing, Rey grabbed her lightsaber and opened the door. She thought she remembered how to get out of the big palace but admitted defeat after passing what looked like the same picture and frame on the wall for the eighth time. She heard some shuffling and decided to ask for help. As she rounded the corner she walked into to someone else.

"You're up early my dear, can't sleep?" Leia asked as she brushed invisible dirt from her clothes. Rey did the same thing and nodded her head.

"Yes. I'm not use to the elegance of my room. I thought maybe I could get some training in before we leave. You said that there were some places I could go?" She inquired.

"Oh my, I forgot to tell you but we are spending a few more days here. I wanted to catch up with an old friend. She told me last night that she had some information about the First Order. I can have one of the maids show you to one of the more private trained grounds if you'd like?" Leia started to walk down the hall from where she came and motioned for Rey to follow her.

"That sounds perfect. Will you be joining me later?" The young woman asked.

"Yes but don't wear yourself down child. I want to try some mediation techniques. It will be a little while before then though so why don't you enjoy some of the free time. We don't have much and I know you could use some." The general gave her a smile and took her hand. Leia was a mother figure to Rey and enjoyed spending time with her. She had really hoped that this trip would help her relax and so far it was working.

They came to one of the maidens and Leia asked her to show Rey the grounds and take care of anything she needed. With a simple 'Yes Ma'am' the hand maiden was walking away in the opposite direction and motioned for Rey to follow her.

Rey let go of her master's hand and followed the instructions. She turned back to find that Leia was already gone. The corner of her mouth quirked up and she walked down the hall.


After a few hours of practicing her lightsaber techniques Rey stopped for a break. She sat down in the grass and looked out at the mountains around her. The girl had taken her to this small grass plain next to a lake. The area was at the bottom of a mountain. It was another view that left the young Jedi awestruck.

She closed her eyes to start her mediation. The wind was lightly blowing, brushing the hair that framed her face. Rey tried to focus but she was having a hard time. There was a splash in the water causing her eyes to snap open. Looking over to where the noise had come from, Rey let out a laugh. It was just some little children enjoying a swim in the lake. Leia had told her about the monsters that can lurk in the waters. Rey vowed to never go in after that but she still watched the little ones play. They looked free of worry and of responsibility. She must have been sitting there to long because after a while her stomach started to growl. Sighing she stood up and started to make her way to the palace.


Poe had woken up a little later than he was used to. He had dreamed of Rey and didn't want it to end. They were holding each other. They weren't talking, they didn't have to. It was as if they knew what the other was feeling, what they were thinking.

When the pilot did wake up it was to a knock at the door and BB-8 rolling up to the bed beeping. He shuffled out of bed and made his way to the door.

"Who is it?" He asked

"It's Finn, I thought you would have been up by now but if you have company I can always come back later." The voice on the other side of the door spoke. Poe could tell that Finn was wagging eyebrows at the last part.

Poe opened the door and let his pal in.

"No it's just me." He said grabbing a pair of clothes and boots out of the closet. "What's up?"

"Just wanted to know where everyone is. I haven't been able to find anyone around here. I tried to find Rey but she wasn't in her room this morning. That's why I had thought she was with you but now I see that is not the case." Finn said looking around the room waiting for Poe to finish changing in the bathroom.

When he did emerge he gave Finn a questioning look. "Why would she be with me?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe it had something to do with the fact that you two were locking lips last night. By the way man, congratulations. I knew you would tell her eventually, but if I am being honest it wasn't looking to good there for a minute. I was beginning to think that you were going to chicken out." He said leaning against the back of a chair.

Poe laughed. "Thanks for the unconditional belief. I did tell her but nothing like that happened last night. I love her and I don't want to rush her into anything."

"Good because if you did I would have to beat you up." Finn said halfheartedly. Poe knew that he wasn't joking but he also knew that if he pushed Rey into anything she wasn't ready for Finn was the last one he would have to worry about.

"I would expect anything different." He said with a knowing smile. They started to talk about what happened last night and Poe told his friend all about it. Poe needed to tell someone. If he didn't he was afraid it was all just a dream and that what they did last night never happened.

"I am happy for you two. The tiptoeing around each other was killing me." Just then there was a knock at the door. Poe arched his brow and looked at BB-8. The little droid rolled up to the door and started making a series of noises.

"It me BB, is Poe in there?" Poe's heart immediately jumped out of his chest. He would recognize that voice anywhere.

He went to open the door when out of the corner of his eye he saw Finn run into the closet, shutting the door behind him. Poe stopped and walked a few steps closer to his friend.

"What-cha doing there bud?"

"I'm going to give you two some space." Finn said from behind the closet doors.

"Okay thanks, but uh…why in my closet?"

"Poe I am going to come back later." Rey said from the hall. Poe turned to project his voice so she would hear.

"No come in Rey." After a few seconds the door opened and Rey walked in closing the door behind her.

"I was just about to head for something to eat and thought you might like to join me." She said walking up to him and giving him a kiss on the cheek. He stared at her for a moment. She must have been training but she left her hair down with a single braid crowning her head. He decided he liked her hair down.

"Yeah I would love to." He said grabbing her hand.

"Good, I was thinking we can stop and see if Finn wants something to eat too." She was about to walk away pulling Poe along behind her when he started to chuckle. She looked at curiously and was about to ask what was funny when a voice came from the wardrobe.

"No thank you, I just had something to eat." Finn said and Rey eyes widened.

The girl looked at her boyfriend. "Is Finn in there?"

"Yes he is."

"Why is Finn in the closet? Wait, did you put him in there?" She went to let him out when Poe tugged her back gently. This caused her to stubble into his chest.

"I didn't put him in there, he put himself in there. Right, buddy?" He said snaking his arm around her waist.

"Right, buddy!" Came a muffled response. Rey was just a little confused and when she looked at Poe for some answers all she got was kiss that made her weak in the knees. They parted and heard a cough come from the closet.

So much for space. Poe thought and began walking Rey toward the door. "We are going to get some food, see you later pal."

"Okay, see you later." Finn said as he went to open the doors. Unfortunately for Finn the doors seemed to have latched when he closed himself in. "Um guys? Please come back guys! I stuck in here! Rey? Poe? Anyone?" BB-8 shook his head and rolled over to the door to help the young man.


"Did you sleep well?" Poe asked walking hand in hand with Rey.

"Yeah, just not used to all the space, I use to being in on a smaller bed. Did you sleep well?" She looked up at him. He was blushing. He was cute when he blushed. "What?" She said after a few moments.

"I slept very well. Truthfully I didn't want to wake up. I was dreaming about you." He muttered. A part of him hoped that she didn't hear the last part but when he saw her face turn red he knew that she had. They had both turned back to facing the direction they were going.

The silence was thick and Poe needed to do something to change the subject. "So, Finn said that you weren't in your room this morning. What did you do to pass your time?"

"I did some training. I was trying to meditate but I couldn't focus. Too many noises and distractions, and I forgot to eat so I decided to give up for a little bit to get food and enjoy the scenery."

"Well after we eat lets go for a walk. I have only been here a few times for supply runs and shipment transfers. Even though it is pretty I have yet to actually explore and see its true beauty" He looked down the hall to see some servants carrying trays in and out of a room. "I think we found food." Just then Rey's stomach starts to growl louder than before. Poe laughs and gently pulls her towards the dining hall for a long over due meal.
