Disclaimer Ha, no. I don't own Star Wars. I do own Aviana and Kelsey. Also, how many days left until The Last Jedi?

Chapter 8

Aviana

I couldn't help but worry as we followed my uncle in the cockpit. Chewie remained resting on the lounge bed as my uncle was checking out the scanner.

"You want my help? You're getting it. Going to see an old friend. She can get your driod home," Uncle Han told us.

The Falcon came out of lightspeed and the all too familiar green planet in front of us.

Takodona.

I haven't been there since I was young.

Way before everything went to shit.

"I've never seen this much green in the entire galaxy," Rey said softly.

That almost broke my heart. I could tell it almost broke my uncle's too. How can someone never traveled off of a planet for so long? I could only imagine what she went through but I barely know Rey and I hope she will stick around instead of going back to that junkyard planet.

I won't tell her that.

This was going to be very interesting.

-LINE BREAK-

"Yes Bee you know I promised nothing was going to happen to you," I told the small droid.

Bee-Bee let out a couple beeps as I let out a small laugh. I couldn't wait to until we all get back home. I know I'm going to get an earful or two from Mom and Aunt Leia but this was a sacrifice I was willing to take.

I walked out of the room and started to head outside to meet up with Rey and Chewie when I couldn't help but eavesdrop on my uncle and Finn's conversation.

"Hey Solo, I'm not sure what we're walking in on here-" Finn started to say.

"Did you just call me Solo?" Uncle Han asked in a surprised tone.

"Sorry Han. Mr. Solo. I'm kind of a big deal in the Resistance; which puts a big target on my back. Are there any conspirators? First Order sympthaziers?"

Oh good kriff.

"Listen big deal, you got another problem. Women always figure out the truth Always," Uncle Han said, handing him a blaster as he walked away.

Finn looked guilty as I slowly walked over towards him with my arms crossed over my chest. I heard Bee chirping softly as he rolled down the ramp and off the Falcon.

"Listen Avi-"

"Finn, whatever you're hiding, be honest. I knew you're not part of the Resistance but don't hurt anymore people. Especially Rey. She doesn't need that right now. Just do the right thing, that's all I ask," I said.

Giving him a look, I turned away and walked off the Falcon. I was greeted with sunlight and green all around. Not to mention the waterfall that was not far from where we landed. This place hasn't changed one bit.

"I think I can handle it on my own," I heard Rey telling Uncle Han something as I got closer to them.

"I know you do. That's why I'm giving it to you," he said, holding a small blaster gun towards her. "Take it."

Rey looked at it for a second before she took it.

"You know how to use one of those?"

"Yeah you pull the trigger," she replied.

"There's more to it. You got a name?" he asked.

"Rey."

I let out a small grin as I looked over to see Finn walking out of the Falcon. I really hoped he took into consideration as to what I told him. I just know he's hiding something.

"Rey I've been thinking about bringing on some more crew. A second mate, someone to help us out. Someone who can keep up with Chewie and me and not to mention who appreciates the Falcon."

"Are you offering a job?" she asked almost excitedly.

"I wouldn't pay you too much or be nice to you," Uncle Han said.

"You're offering me a job," she said again with a smile on her face.

"I'm thinking about it," he said.

It was rare for my Uncle to get sentimental. Well besides from the birth of my cousin and me, it was still a rare moment for him to have.

"If you were, I'd be flattered but...I have to get home," Rey said.

"Rey why go back?" I asked. "You got us right here."

"Back to Jakku?" Uncle Han asked her as she nodded.

"I've been away for too long," she replied.

"Chewie, take care of the ship the best you can. That's too bad. Chewie kind of likes you," he said.

Chewie let out a few growls at us from the Falcon.

"Come on," I motioned Finn and Rey to follow me and my uncle.

"You think it's luck that Chewie and I found the Falcon? If we can find it in our scanners, then the First Order is not far behind," Uncle Han explained. "Want to get Bee-Bee Ate the the Resistance? Maz Kanta's our best bet."

"We can trust her right?" Finn asked.

"Relax kid, she's been running this watering hole for thousand years," he replied. "Maz is a bit of an acquired taste so just let me do the talking."

"Oh and whatever you do, don't stare," I chimed in.

"At what?" Finn and Rey asked at the same time.

"Any of it," Uncle Han said.

He opened the doors and all of us walked in. The cantina was semi-packed as music was playing throughout the place. I observed it all around as we walk in further.

"HAN SOLO!"

The place stopped to look at the five of us. This was awkward. I saw Maz coming towards us as Uncle Han mumbled an 'oh boy.'

"Hey Maz," he greeted her.

"Where's my boyfriend?" she asked.

"Chewie's working on the Falcon," he replied as the music and everyone else went back to their business.

"I like that Wookie," she said as she turned to face me. "Aviana, it's been far too long."

"Hi Maz," I greeted her softly.

"So. I assume that you need something. Desperately. Let's get to it," Maz said leading us to a table that was far away from the others.

As we were walking, someone shoved past me as I gave the woman alien a dirty look. She looked up and down at me before she strutted away.

Weirdo.

Guess some things stay the same.

-LINE BREAK-

"So you found the map to Skywalker?" Maz said after explaining everything that happened.

"Yep and we need your help to get the droid back to Leia," Uncle Han explained.

"Hmmm no," Maz said.

"Smart idea," I mumbled.

"It's not your fault child," she said. She turned to face my uncle with a knowing grin. "Han, go home."

"Leia doesn't want to see me," he said.

"I doubt that," I mumbled but luckily he didn't hear me. At least I don't think he did.

"Please, we came here for you help," Finn begged.

"What fight?" Rey asked.

"The fight against the First Order," I replied.

"It's the only fight against the dark side child," Maz said. "Throughout the ages, I've seen evil take on many forms. The Sith. The Empire. Today; the First Order. Their shadow is spreading across the galaxy. We must face them; fight them. All of us."

"There is no fight against the First Order! Not one that we can win," Finn said.

"Not for nothing Finn, but what the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

"Look around. There's no chance that we haven't been recongized already. I bet you the First Order is on their way right now," he said.

I saw out of the corner of my eye Maz adjusting her goggles. She was scrutinizing him in every way and her eyes went huge.

Oh boy.

Maz got up from her seat and grunted as she fixed her goggles again. She hoisted herself up on the table and crawled over towards Finn; knocking the food and plates off as she went along her way.

"If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people and I see a man who wants to run," Maz said.

"You don't know anything about me," Finn said. "You don't know where I'm from, what I've seen. You don't know the First Order like I do. They'll slaughter us. We all need to run."

Wait, Finn was part of the First Order.

"Finn, how..."

"I'm sorry, I can't," he said as he got up the table and left but not before Uncle Han gave him a weapon to have.

After Finn left the table, Rey looked at us and then at Finn's retreating form before going after him.

"That worked," I said.

"Don't be so down kid, we'll get you back," Uncle Han said.

"Dad's never going to be found," I said.

"You don't know that," he said.

I looked up at my uncle. "I know. If he wanted to be found, then he should've came home when he did; not abandoned Mom, me and everyone he loved," I said bitterly. "I'm sorry Uncle Han."

He didn't say anything as I got up and left the table. I looked around to find Finn and Rey but to no avail. I did however spotted Finn leaving with a few other people after. I didn't understand why he felt running was the only option. We're in the middle of a war and even if he was part of the First Order, he could've helped in a major way for us.

I shook my head but then a thought came to me.

I wonder where Rey could be.

I looked over and saw the corridor that led downstairs. I walked over as I walked down the stairs. I slowed down my pace as I saw a silloulette of a figure not far from where I stood. Curiousitiy got to me as I slowly walked down the steps.

I stopped shot when I saw Rey kneeling in front of a small chest. I didn't know what she was doing down here or why but I saw something that made my eyes wide in shock. I saw Rey holding a lightsaber.

What the hell could she be doing with that?

A/n So things are finally heating up! Hey I got to leave you all in suspense at least right?

So here's my question of the day/night for you all. Do you think Rey is a Skywalker? I think that she could Obi-Wan's granddaughter in my opinion but hey it's Star Wars anything can happen. I like to hear your theories about her.

Thank you for the love! I'm glad that you're all like it and more of what happened with Kelsey and Luke's marriage, Kylo and Aviana's confrontation to come soon!

Until next week,
Vicky

PS For those waiting on an update on Past, it's going to be a bit late so expect the chapter sometime on Sunday or after. It's coming slowly but surely.
