A/N Here's where the fun begins. Feedback is most welcome! Thanks for reading!

Sorgan was a beautiful planet, filled with temperate forests, grassy plains, and lush swampland. The humans that had settled the planet survived mostly by farming, and they had done a fair job of keeping themselves out of conflicts with both the Empire and the First Order, allowing themselves to be controlled but not beaten by the dictatorships. Because of this, their economy, which had suffered under both regimes, had bounced back quickly once the tariffs and embargos had been lifted.

Every year they held a festival in the only large city on the planet, called Dyer, where they spent a week selling foodstuffs and wares, making music and performing stage productions, showcasing their art, and in general having a grand old time. Spotchka flowed freely the entire week.

Poe had been there once but it had been on business for Leia a few years ago so he had not spent any time taking in the entertainment. This year was expected to be a super big event as the last one had been subdued thanks to the First Order's presence. He knew Rey was desperate to see other worlds and explore other cultures, but her commitment to the Resistance and to her new Jedi students had put most travel on hold. Fortunately, she was more than willing the give Poe a few days to enjoy the party on Sorgan.

They flew separately in their own X-Wings, landing at the tiny airfield in Dyer and making their way by public ground speeder to a modest resort called Sun and Shade. Poe had reserved two separate rooms for them for the next three nights, and after getting settled in those rooms the two of them went down to the city center where the festival was in high gear.

Though run by the native humans of the planet, the streets were full of various species. Rey had met and befriended many different species in her years on Jakku, so she was perfectly comfortable among the crowd, and Poe enjoyed watching her expressions as they moved through the various booths and tents, stopping often to listen to musical groups or a particular variety act. They sampled food from various vendors until they both complained about getting sick from eating too much. Twice, Poe had purchased gifts for Rey, though she had repeatedly asked him not to. The muunyak wool scarf in a brilliant shade of turquoise and the necklace made of azurite had both caught Rey's eye, and Poe was convinced she needed them. At his insistence, she finally accepted them with a shy "Thank you."

As darkness fell and the entertainments started closing up for the night, they walked side by side, shoulders bumping, back toward their lodgings.

"So, what is Naboo like?" Rey asked him.

"Naboo is beautiful," Poe answered. "Mountains and huge rivers with amazing waterfalls. Lakes and valleys. Even the architecture of the city Theed is spectacular." He glanced at her. "The people are pretty spectacular, too, both the Naboo and the Gungans. But as wonderful as it is, I'm glad I don't live there."

"Why?" Rey asked.

"Too sedate. Too orderly. Too unblemished." He shrugged. "I guess to each their own, but I like a little chaos in my life."

Rey smiled at that. "Yeah, me too."

"Luke and Leia's birth mother came from there, you know," he told her.

She had known that. And not just that. "So did my grandfather," she said softly.

Poe stopped suddenly. "Damn. That's right. I forgot about that." He shook his head and wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they continued to walk. "Of course, I'll never think of him as your grandfather," he continued. "He created you, however accidentally, for his own purposes, " Poe said. "That doesn't make him family."

Rey felt a smile grow on her face. He really did get it. "Yep," she responded. "My family lives on Ajan Kloss."

Poe grinned at her and they continued their walk in comfortable silence.

The goodnight kiss Poe gave her at her door was a tad frustrating in its simplicity. Oh, how she wanted more. But she wanted more of everything, not just the physical things. So, she would do her best to be patient. She fell asleep that night with a smile on her face.
