A/N: FIRST! I've also changed the name of the story to In Time because I felt it fit more with what I'm going for the future of the story. But Down with the Order will possibly be the name of a chapter.

This one is finally a long one. I may have gone on a little tangent with this one. But it ends well (I hope).

Sorry for any confusion.

Reviews are always welcome. Enjoy!

Chapter 3: Eyes Closed

Rey thought they would never land. After weeks on the run and flying on fumes, Leia decided that the planet Gamorr was the place to land. It was a planet located on the Triellus Trade Route in the Galov sector of the Outer Rims. Apparently, the Gamorreans weren't the best race of people but the had no choice but to land. Hopefully, it was only temporary.

Other than being on Takodana and Ahch-to, she would never get used to any greenery, cold, or change of weather. It was outstanding that other planets had differed from each other. She was used to the relentless heat, sand that would always find new places to hide, and a scorching sun. She would have never thought in a 1,000 life cycles she'd be able to visit another planet, let alone a handful.

They landed the Falcon in what looked like a secluded field. As the ramp lowered, Rey's anticipation was fleeting. The land below looked wasted and barren. The ground was hard and dry. No sign of greenery surrounding the Falcon. But she could see a bit of tall darker brown and green some distance away.

A couple members of the Resistance walked passed Rey and down the ramp. They were as curious about their surroundings as Rey was. The air was thick and had an odd mildewy-odor to it. There was a mist that floated high above the canopies and laid low to the ground. It was a disgusting shade of a gangrenous-green and yellow-y pus of an infected wound.

Even with this all disgust around her, it still fascinated her. She can feel the planets Force. It was something she'd grown to appreciate and found calming while her time on Ahch-to.

"Rey!" a familiar excited voice called from behind her. "Thinking what I'm thinking?"

She could feel the smirk on Finn's face. Rey couldn't help but turn and smile to her friend.

"Oh, you know it!"

"This planet is something out of a nightmare though" Finn tried to cover his nose from the smell.

"Better than Jakku," Rey smiled

Finn gave a small laugh and shrugged.

"Do you think we'll be able to get some stuff here?" Rey wondered

"Honestly, I hope so. Maybe something fresh. Heard this planet is known for its farming." Poe interrupted

"Fresh food?" Rey had a child-like wonder in her voice "like food that's grown from the ground? And not rehydrated by water?"

"Y...yes?" Finn said slowly while giving her the squinted-side eye. He remembered when she devoured the food at Maz's castle, it was disgusting and yet mesmerizing how much food she could stuff down and as quickly too.

"What?" Rey with a huge smile on her face. "I'm sorry I wasn't privileged with the comforts of a daily warm meal." her voice dripped with sarcasm as she bowed to Finn.

Even though Gamorr was quite the gross looking planet, Rey was happy to finally be breathing fresh air. Well.. somewhat fresh air. At this point, anything was almost better than the Falcon.

"Hey"

"What's up, kid? Poe replied and Finn listening along.

"Race you to those trees." Without giving them time to respond, Rey bolted down the ramp and towards the distant trees.

"Hey, no fair Jedi-lady" Finn dropped his bag and ran after her. Poe followed suit.

Rey loved every bit of the wind flowing through her hair and being able to stretch her legs. She could hear Finn and Poe calling from behind her. But her head start was no match for the two men. Within minutes Rey reached the tree-line and passed them. There was no stopping her. It was exhilarating. She felt free. There was so much movement Rey could do around the Falcon and its current residents. She also didn't have the space to practice her forms. Only try to read and reread the references from the old Jedi texts she'd stolen from the tree.

With this thought, she began to slow her pace, possibly a little from guilt. Rey's breath heavy from her sprint. She could see and hear the small signs of the Gamorrean wildlife. There was some hissing and buzzing behind her from unseen insects. Squeaks from rodents scurrying below. Birds chirping above and swooshing coming from ahead. Her ears perked up like a sand-cat. That swooshing meant one thing… water! That beautiful sound of water.

"REY!" a distance voice came from her left.

"REY! Where are you?" the disembodied voices calling out for her. After a couple more echoed calls of her name Finn and Poe appeared in the distance.

"Over here" Rey waved to them.

"Maker, Rey, give a guy a better heads up next time" Poe panted as he grabbed his knees and gasped for air.

"I couldn't resist," Rey giggled as she hopped over a fallen log. Poe and Finn looked at each other for a split second before chasing after her again.

"Force, she's a horrible case of cabin fever" Poe huffed

"You're telling me. Rey! Hold up" Finn called after her, again. After another minute or two they finally caught up to the wild-girl.

It was a sight to see. They stopped and stood next to Rey as they looked out before them. It was a gorgeous landlocked, emerald green lagoon with sprawls of moss covered rocks and wildflowers. The lagoon was strangely luminous and had a waterfall that splashed down into the body of water below it.

"I've… " Rey was speechless and wide-eyed. She had never seen anything more beautiful.

"Agreed" Poe gawked as he began to slip off his boots and jacket. Finn followed the pilot.

Instead of joining Poe and Finn, Rey decided to stay on the shoreline. After her little "tumble" on Ahch-to, she knew swimming wasn't her thing. She decided to sit on the ground with her legs crossed beneath each other. Rey shut her eyes, dangled her hands over her knees and inhaled. She slowly concentrated away from Poe and Finns splashing about. She then gradually moved her attention to the wildlife around her. Without really noticing, the air around became thicker and quieter, as if time slowed. The noises around her became distant echoes. Rey could feel the flow of the Force through her and around the planet. She could feel it all. There was so much energy here. So much sadness and so much pain. Rey felt the planets torment from all the wars it has endured between its people. There was still a placidity in the Force here.

A calm.

A silence.

A sudden ripple of something familiar jolted through her body.

"Ben?" her eyes shot open as she whispered his name in an alert. She turned to see nothing. Only trees and grass filled her vision.

"You say something Rey?" Poe yelled at her as he floated upon the water.

"No!... no, I'm ok" she hesitated.

'It can't be.' Rey couldn't shake the feeling.

The bond was severed.

"By the Force, I don't how we did it, General. But we were able to get just enough." Talohn smiled at Leia confidently. "And enough fuel to last a week and a couple hyperdrive-jumps, if we have to."

"I was also able to collect some sap from the trees. I've read it could be used as a coolant for the ship." Kora said positively.

"Good job, Talohn. That's great, Kora." Leia couldn't stay upset with the girl. She understood her frustration.

"Now let's get off this damned planet before another civil war breaks out." Leia breathed a sigh of relief as she leaned on her cane for support.

"Yes ma'am" Talohn turned his heels

It was back to traveling on the Falcon. Rey couldn't rid the feeling in the pit of her stomach. He was there with her, she knew. Even if for that short moment.

What if the Bond was never actually disconnected? Rey silently wanted that to be true. There was something inside her that made her miss it. Miss him. Having someone to be able to talk to. Someone who understood.

"Young Solo." a voice slithered in young Kylo's head. "This is not what you want. I can see it within you."

Kylo's blood went cold. He didn't know where the body-less voice came from. "I see your desire for power, boy." the voice hissed louder "I can teach you unlimited power."

Kylo jerked awake with his hair stuck to his face and sweat running down his neck. Nightmares were nothing new. They've become routine.

They've become almost… comforting.

Even now Snoke still haunted Kylo. He couldn't remember the last time he had a proper nights sleep without a nightmare emerging. Probably before he woke to his uncle with a saber raised above him.

Sleep wasn't coming back to him tonight. He decided going in the 'fresher would calm him. As he walked down the corridor to the bathroom the familiar surge of the Force throbbed around him as if he walked through a bubble. Everything felt in slow-motion. The beeping and the thrum of the ship became warped. The atmosphere becoming blurry.

It was happening again. All of Kylo's blood rushed to his heart making it beat faster than Han running the Kessel Run.

There she was. The scavenger.

Rey was sitting there again. But this time she looked to be paying attention to something or maybe someone. The fluorescent lighting of the ship made her glow. Maybe it was the Force making her look that way. He couldn't tell. Kylo's mouth became dry as he saw her mouth curl up into an infectious smile, that turned into an even more infectious laugh. Her smile was bright even though her eyes told another story. It felt like all of time stopped existing.

The moment was only temporary. After Rey's small fit of laughter began to calm, her eyes finally opened in the direction of Kylo.

Their dark eyes met.

Their bodies froze as they acknowledged each other.

Review Response:

crudess: HI! First off thank you, thank you for your review. It was insanely sweet and inspiring. To answer your question, yes, Kylo had a new helmet made. I felt it was more intimidating when he wore it, especially with the First Order ups. =)
