Drabble - Alternate Universe

Prompt: Origin

"Planet of origin?" the custom official asked.

Poe Dameron looked over at the young woman in the line next to his at the Coruscant Customs Station.

"Jakku," she said softly.

Poe knew Jakku. Not only had he studied the great battle that took place there, but he had once been briefly stuck there with a malfunctioning fighter.

People from Jakku were tough as steel.

Minutes later he found himself face to face with the Jakkuvian.

"Hi, I'm Poe." He held out his hand.

Wary eyes met his, but then something magical happened. "Rey," she said as she took his hand.
