Ben and Rey went out into the galaxy and began their work.
Days turned to weeks, weeks melted into months, months slipped into years.
Nation by nation, planet by planet, an alliance was formed slowly over time, built on bonds that were based on respect, kindness, and trust.
Together, Ben and Rey became the leaders of not a community, but a government that spanned through the galaxy.
It was not under Sith influence, it was not serving the dark side or any other evil, no, instead, the new government was one of peace, equality, and justice.
In the end, Ben Skywalker was a much better leader than Kylo Ren.
Ben's subjects respected him and relied upon him.
Citizens clapped when they saw Ben and Rey visiting their world, country, or village.
Rey led by example and showed Ben how to care for others, teaching him that every life in the galaxy was important.
Ben was a skilled student.
Leia and Han would have been proud to see the good for others that their son did every day.
Ben and Rey's vision came true.
They built the place that served as the headquarters of the new government and their home next to a field with tall grass that gleamed a beautiful shade of amber in the sunshine.
And the footsteps coming towards them in heir vision, it wasn't an unforeseen enemy, or a foreboding invader.
No….
It was their daughter, Leia Alana Skywalker-Palpatine.
Their baby girl was born on a starry night and as Ben held his infant and looked up at the sky, he breathed a sigh of happy relief.
Ben wasn't afraid of his daughter making the same mistakes he had.
He and Rey had already won that battle.
The dark side was no more.
