Chapter 2

After spending a week celebrating the Resistance's victory, Rey decided that it was time for her to go and check on how Ben was recovering. Finn and Poe wanted to know where she was going. Rey refused to tell them. She said that she had something important to take care of. They certainly wouldn't approve of her helping the man who'd been their enemy.

When Rey arrived on Ahch-To, she disembarked from her ship and hiked up the hill. She found Ben, sitting on a rock, looking out over the ocean. he sensed Rey approaching behind him.

"Hi Rey", said Ben as he got up from the rock. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of her. It felt good to be able to do that again.

"You seem to be recovering nicely."

Ben flicked on his lightsaber. "Would you like to see how refreshed my strength is?"

"Trying to impress me, Ben Solo", remarked Rey playfully. Soon, she drew her lightsaber and flicked it on.

Their lightsabers buzzed as they circled each other.

You look really nice.

"Get out of my head", exclaimed Rey. "Flattery won't give you victory." As she struggled to hide her blushing face, Ben took a swipe at her. "No fair! No distracting! You're cheating!"She lunged forward and started to enjoy the battle. Even though he was no longer going by the name Kylo Ren, Ben still challenged Rey, as he had in their other fights.

You won't win this, Rey. I have a lot more experience than you.

We'll see about that.

With her full strength, Rey pinned Ben's lightsaber down under her own. Ben looked up into her eyes to see the intensity in them. Before Rey knew it, he used Force energy to knock her onto the ground.

"Umph", groaned Rey as she hit the surface.

"See what happens when you mess with someone more experienced in the Force", teased Ben as he offered to help her up.

Determined to remove the cocky grin from his face, Rey used Force energy to knock him down.

"Two can play at that game", replied a smirking Rey.

"Alright, you win."

As Rey helped Ben get up, she sensed that he was having feelings of doubt and uncertainty.

"I'm here for you", said Rey. "We'll get through this."

Ben could see in her eyes that she meant what she said with all her heart.

"Thank you for coming back."

Rey flashed him a smile that warmed his heart. She started to walk towards the hut where she left Ben.

"Are you coming", asked Rey upon noticing Ben wasn't following her.

"I'm going to stay out here for a little while. Is that alright?"

"Of coarse."

"Rey, I meant what I said about you looking nice."

With a playful look on her face, Rey knocked Ben back down again. As she walked into the hut, she felt herself blushing again. Ben thought about how blessed he was to have this incredible woman care about him. After everything he had done as Kylo Ren, it was more than he deserved.
