cherokee96 - I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
When they arrived at the host school everyone got off the bus so Han could go park it and crowded at the entrance of the school while Cassian and Luke got their schedules. Down the hall they could see a lunch room where alot of students were gathered. Matt leaned over to Rey, "Are you as scared as I am because I think I just peed myself."
"It's nothing to pee over, we'll be fine, we're novices, we just have to try our bests but someone has to lose and I don't mind if it's me," Rey whispered back.
"You both are going to be fine, if you get tagged 15 in a row at least you competed," Ben leaned over Rey to whisper to both of them.
"Thanks Ben," Rey smiled up at him and he blushed slightly.
"Okay, I know where our home room is, follow me!" Cassian called before turning to lead them down the hall.
Home room was just a class room with regular desks and chairs Rey watched as all the boys set their stuff on a desk and laid on the floor, she set her stuff on a desk and stood over Finn, "What are you doing sleeping beauty?"
"Napping till my level competes, since Felix is the captain he is in Leader, the top level, he hates when we watch him though," Finn explained.
"Leader competes at 10, Superior which is Adrien, Poe, and Ben, competes at 10:30, Intermediate with Luka and Finn 11:15, and Novice is at 12 for Rey and Matt, then awards are announced at 2," Luke read off the sheet, "Any questions?"
"What time is it now?" asked Felix as he sat down on one of the chairs.
"9:30," Jyn answered as she and Leia stood in the door way, "We're going to find a bathroom, Rey do you want to come with us?"
"Sure," Rey stepped over her brother and followed the two women into the hall.
As they wandered passed the cafeteria and continued on deeper into the school Leia turned to Rey, "We wanted to ask you about Cheer and make sure you know everything about hair removal."
"Oh, I don't have hair on my legs and under arms," Rey answered as she held the bathroom door open for Jyn and Leia.
"What do you mean like it never grew?" Jyn questioned.
"In the orphanage the older girls would tease the younger girls about it because you had to be 15 to shave so I stole tweezers from the medical room and pulled out all my leg, under arm hair, and all the hair on my stomach," Rey explained.
"Awww, sweetie," Leia hugged Rey tightly.
"The hair never grew back?" asked Jyn in amazement.
"Nope, I gave the tweezers to other girls and they all did it too," Rey shrugged, "We got caught eventually but by then all the younger girls and some of the older girls had done it, there were too many of us to punish and so much time had passed that they couldn't figure out who started it."
"You were a little rebel," Leia gave a smirk.
"In Cheer we all have code names, can yours be Rebel Scum?" Jyn questioned with a laugh.
"Absolutely, I love it," Rey laughed.
As Felix and Cassian made their way to the gym Snoke came down the hall with long brown hair, "Well if it isn't Sith High, are you ready to compete with my teams Captain Vanessa?"
"It should be quite a match, I was surprised to be offered your position at 1 in the morning," Cassian spoke politely.
"Yes, it was short notice, but it's probably for the best don't you think?" Snoke and Cassian walked side by side leading Vanessa and Felix who barely spared each other a passing glance, they had competed in years before and were fairly evenly matched, "I can train a team who's skill measures up with what they can learn from me."
"I hope you have an assistant coach to teach them humility," Cassian stated as he lead Felix to the opposite side of the gym.
"The school he's with had alot of graduates last season, meaning they have alot of novice," Felix murmmured as he and Cassian sat on the bleachers.
"That should throw off their over all ranking so our school can beat theirs," Cassian whispered back
When Felix and Cassian walked into the room all the kids laying on the floor sat up and all the adults sitting in the corner stood. Cassian gave a smile, "15 touches, no interruptions, twice."
"It wasn't difficult," Felix gave a small smile as everyone cheered and congratulated him, "I didn't get to compete against Snoke's captain however, she was defeated her first round, ran out of time 6 to 8."
"Already our over all ranking has a good lead on theirs," Adrien high fived his brother as he sat beside him.
"What's over all ranking?" asked Rey.
"They add up all the touches each team has and award first, second, and third to the schools," Finn explained.
"So we have 30 and the traitor school has 6," Poe explained, "And I'm assuming Felix got first in Leader because he had nothing counting against him with a perfect 30, so Snokes captain technically has a -2."
"Any points helps the team and more points than your opponents helps us individually," Matt explained.
"We normally place 3rd in over all," Luke shrugged.
"But if we don't place third it's not anyone's fault," Adrien reminded.
"We win and lose as a team, as long as We try our best we're good enough, " Ben assured as he stood, "Poe, Adrien, are you ready?"
"Always ready," Poe smiled as Ben helped him up.
Cassian, Rey, and Matt sat in the front row of the bleachers, Mr. Kenobi, Poe, Finn, and Kanan sat in the row behind them, with the rest of the parents and team in the rows following. One of the people in charge of the competition announced the names of the first to competitors, one of them was her. She turned to Matt and touched the front of her mask to his before raising her mask and walking to the mat. After they connected her to the machine she stood to face her opponent, another girl who smiled kindly at her before mouthing 'good luck'. 'You too' Rey smiled back feeling alot better about the match and she turned to bow to the judge. Taking a deep breath the fight had began, they got to the first break with no tags. Feeling a bit more confident Rey made a few advances and ended up tagging the girl and both of them flinched as everyone from Sith High let out a cheer or scream. The rest of the match there were no more tags.
After the out burst everyone waited to get back to the room where Rey's family pulled her into a group hug. Mr. Kenobi kissed Rey on the top of her head and Finn and Poe both kissed one of her cheeks, "Guys, we should be congratulating Matt, he won 13 to 2!"
"Yes, but none of us want to kiss him, but you did great man," Ben wrapped an arm around Matt's shoulders.
"How many people in this room want to kiss Rey exactly?" Matt questioned with a smirk.
Ben started to blush as he pushed Matt away from him, "This is why I have trust issues."
"You have trust issues because your father has a quadrilogy of some movies of you eating lemons," Leia laughed.
"The real twist is the clip where he refused to eat the lemon followed by Luke giving him a lime," everyone turned to see Hux in the door way.
"Ew, it's you," Han wrinkled his nose.
"Yes, sorry I didn't get to compete against any of you, there are alot in Superior this year," Hux was leaning against the door frame.
The girl Rey had her first match with peaked around Hux with two boy's her age, "You did really well for how scared you looked."
"Yeah you were shaking like a leaf!" the red haired boy added.
"But you held your own and gave a good show," the other boy with green hair spoke in an accent like Rey's.
"I came here to gloat, did you come to make friends?" Hux questioned the three novice, "Snoke would not approve."
"Snoke is hashtag not my fencing coach," the girl shot back.
"Good luck teaching Snoke what a hashtag is, he's older than dirt," Luke rolled his eyes.
"I'm telling," Hux huffed before storming away.
"I'm telling," Han, Ben, and Matt mocked in unison.
During the lunch break every one crowded to the cafeteria Rey was sitting at a table with the girl Isabella and her friends Phineas and Ferb, Ben walked over and tapped Rey on the shoulder, "Is it alright if I join you?"
"Yeah, this is my friend Ben," he had expected her to call him her friend but he didn't expect it to feel so awkward but he smiled at her anyway, "Ben this is Isabella, Phineas and Ferb, Ferb and his dad are from London."
"That's cool," Ben spoke as Poe and Finn sat across from him, "This is Finn and Poe, Rey's brothers."
"I see you've already met Ben," Poe quirked an eye brow at Ben who blushed and looked down at his food.
Isabella and Rey looked at each other, "Do you have to go to the bathroom?"
"Yes," the boys watched as the two girls locked arms and made their way down the hall.
"Why do girls always go to the bathroom together?" Phineas questioned.
"Rey's reading the first Harry Potter book," Finn answered.
"Makes sense," Ferb nodded.
"You guys totally like each other," Isabella smirked.
"Well I can only speak for one of us," Rey bit her lip to keep from smiling too widely.
"Oooo, what led you to liking him?" Isabella asked as she leaned against the bathroom counter.
"When I first met him his whole family was speechless because I was adopted and the only knew I was from London so Finn made a joke about me being pretty and he agreed right away then blushed and was teased and he's just really nice to me, he let me borrow this sweatshirt and since the team has sleepovers at his house before competitions he let me sleep in his room while he slept with the rest of the team on the floor, he's also really cute but like you can see that," Rey flushed as she realized she was rambling.
"He's not my type but he seems like a gentelman and romantic, looks like he likes you," Isabella put a hand on Rey's shoulder, "You have to give me updates at competitions."
"Of course, too bad seeing you comes with Hux," Rey rolled her eyes as they started heading back down the hall.
"At least you don't have to train with him and Snoke," Isabella sighed, "Great here he comes."
"Hello there ladies, Rey, still wearing that old thing?" Hux questioned referring to Ben's sweatshirt.
"It's comfortable and smells like him," Rey responded as she continued past him with out a second glance.
"Girl, you have it bad," Isabella laughed loudly for Hux to hear. He fumed as he stared after the two girls.
Everyone in the competition gathered in the gym for the awards to be announced. On the projector screen was displayed the names of the finalists in each category. One of the announcers took a hand held mix to the floor in the middle of the room, "If I could have the three Leader finalists come stand on the center line for me, please, one clap for each finalist with a standing ovation for first place."
Felix stood with two other captains, one clap rang out and third place wasn't him, second clap rang out and it wasn't for him, he smirked slightly as he was awarded first place and everyone stood to clap for him. Jyn had one of the yearbook cameras and made him stand for a picture before he sat down and the superior finalists were all called.
Adrien, Poe, and Ben all made it to finals, sixth was none of them, fifth was none of them, fourth was Poe, third was Hux, second was Ben and during Adrien's standing ovation Hux leaned over and whispered something to Ben who had been avoiding looking at him until he flinched away and glared. Poe put his hand on Ben's shoulder as they walked back to the bleachers, "What did he say?"
"Just Hux being Hux," Ben mumbled as he, Poe, and Adrien stood still for Jyn to snap a picture of them.
Finn was really shocked that he made it into finals and half of him thought it was a mistake but he was happy with sixth and Luka got fifth. Matt and Rey both made it to finals, they stood nervously as sixth, fifth, and fourth were called. Rey started to get nervous that she might have won against Matt, would he be mad? She let out a huge sigh of relief as the announcer stated, "Rey Kenobi, third place, Matt Rayd, second place."
"And lastly we'll do school ranking," the announcer spoke as all the team's gathered on the gym floor, sixth place was called and Poe took Rey and Finn's hands, fifth place was called and Rey held her hand out to Ben and Finn to Adrien, fourth place was called and Ben took Matt's hand and Adrien Felix's, third was awarded to Tri-State high to which Hux and Snoke looked unhappy, Rey squeezed Ben's hands and he looked over at them then smiled down at her, third was called and Matt took Luke's hand and at second they all dropped each other's hands, "First place is awarded to Sith High."
There was an uproar of applause and everyone on the team went to hug each other at once safe for Felix who remained composed and took the plaque from the announcer and they walked back to where the adults were cheering and waiting to hug them, Jyn got to them first, "Can I arrange you all for a group photo for the school news paper?"
"They're all in their school sweatshirts, that's so cute!" Leia took out her phone.
"Alright let's have Rey, Matt, Luka, and Adrien stand on the bleachers with Finn, Poe, Ben, Felix, and Cassian hold the plaque in front of them and give me formal, now smile, and a now silly," Poe and Finn held each other and acted like they were going to kiss, Rey looked shocked with her hands on her face, Ben, Matt, and Luka turned their back to the camera, Adrien jumped onto Felix's back, and Cassian starred at them with deep concern.
When they got back on the bus all the kids threw their bags in the middle few rows then piled into the last few rows, Adrien and Felix sat in the back with Luka and Matt in the seat next to them, Finn and Poe in front of them, and Ben and Rey in the seat beside them. Finn, Poe, and Ben had their legs crossed sitting backwards in their seats and Rey was sitting with her back to the window and her legs over Ben's lap. Adrien and Rey some how started having a long deep conversation about cookies in America verses biscuits in London while the rest of the team started to debate which Captain America movie was best. Adrien eventually joined in on their conversations and Rey started texting Isabella. She got a Snapchat notification from Armitage Hux, which was a picture of him holding his third place medal and it said "We both got third, that must mean we should date."
With the caption, "No thanks, I'm good," Rey took a video of her legs in Ben's lap, Ben had absentmindedly started rubbing the bottom of one of her foot lightly with his thumb, which she didn't comment on because her feet hurt from breaking in her cheer shoes. Rey leaned forward and held her phone for Ben to see, "Is it alright if I send this to Hux, he just asked me on a date."
"He asked you on a date?" Ben asked quietly so Poe and Finn wouldn't hear.
"He said we should date because we both got third over snap so I want to send him this," Rey nodded to her phone that Ben hadn't even glanced at, he took it and stared at it loop through a few times.
He handed her phone back blushing slightly, "It's fine with me if you send that to him, but I'm sorry I didn't realize I was doing that, do you want me to stop?"
"Honestly no," Rey blushed slightly and Ben switched to her other foot and looked away.
"Bucky Barns is stronger than Cap even without his arm," Matt argued, "He was training while in an out of cyro."
"But we've seen Steve show more strength and he has more will power," Finn countered.
"Steve hasn't been frozen since he woke up so he has a chance to improve or not but Bucky is going to stay the same, so it just kinda depends on Cap's training which we don't see," Adrien shrugged.
Rey's phone buzzed in her hand and she opened the snap from Hux, with a black screen saying, "Are you guys dating?" She closed her snapchat app and started scrolling though Instagram. Leia had commented her recent post, "You three look like models." The picture has been Rey standing on the bleachers with one arm around Finn with his arms crossed and her elbow on Poe's shoulder who was standing in contraposto. Rey held her phone to Adrien, "My brothers and I are coming for your career."
"You can have it," Felix dead panned.
The bus stopped on the road to the Solo's house where all the parents that didn't go to the competition were waiting and everyone went with their parents to stop at their homes and then have a team dinner at Matt's house. Soon after they got home Poe knocked on Rey's door, "Do you want to match?"
"Perfect timing I was deciding what to wear," Rey opened the door to her room, she had taken her hair down and washed her face, "I was thinking jean shorts."
Finn leaned into the door way, "What if we wear Star Wars shirts?"
"You have three Star Wars shirts between the both of you?" Rey questioned.
"We have like ten," Poe and Finn laughed at Rey's shocked expression, Poe took Rey's hand and dragged her to his room passing their Dad's on the way, "Dad, we're wearing Star Wars shirt!"
"Sounds good," Mr. Kenobi called back.
Rey stood in front of her bathroom mirror, she was wearing a dark gray shirt with silver writing saying "This is my mad face" and a minimalist picture of Darth Vader. The had tied the bottom of the shirt in a knot at her back so it wouldn't cover her blue jean shorts, the shirt showed her stomach when she raised her arms but she wouldn't be doing that so it was fine.
Finn walked into her bathroom as she was combing her hair up to put half of it up, he was wearing black basket ball shorts and a white shirt with black letters saying, "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper", "You never leave your hair down, it looks so pretty down."
"Okay I guess I'll leave it down then, any other requests," Rey rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Yes actually," Finn stepped around her and opened her bathroom closet and took out a basket she hadn't even noticed was in there and full of makeup products, "We got you some makeup and now seems like a good time to use it."
"Do you know how to use any of that?" Rey asked skeptically.
"I know how to use these, we use them in play productions," Finn held up a packaged black pencil and a box, then closed the toilet and tapped the top, "Sit."
After a few minutes of Finn telling her to look certain ways and getting really close to her eye he took a step back and she turned to look at her self in the mirror, there was black lines between her eyelashes and eyes and her eyelashes were painted black, "I look beautiful!"
"You are beautiful, we just drew attention to your eyes," Finn wrapped his arms around her stomach, "I love you."
"I love you too, thank you," Rey smiled as Poe walked in, he was wearing khaki shorts and a light blue shirt with Darth Vader swinging on a swing set with a storm trooper pushing him.
"Oooo, we're breaking out the makeup, let me add some highlight," Poe took a palette out of the basket and fan brush and a small eye brush, "Close your eyes."
Rey again waited as make up was applied to her face and then turned to the mirror, "I look like I'm glowing."
"Yep, we'll have to teach you," Poe set the brushes and palette on the counter, he had put highlight on her inner eyes, brow bone, and then on her cheek bones, nose, and upper lip, "Come on, dad is waiting for us."
The setting sunlight of the car was making Rey's highlight stand out, Finn turned her phone camera on, "Rey, do the thing we taught you."
"Eye brows on fleek," then she clicked her tongue.
Ben watched the video on his phone then leaned over and showed Luke who pointed out, "She's wearing a Darth Vader shirt."
"Finn and Poe put Rey in a Darth Vader shirt because of your unhealthy obsession with him," Han laughed.
"It's not unhealthy, everyone has roll models," Leia scolded, "But if I know Finn and Poe they did that on purpose."
The Kenobi's arrived at the Rayd house hold and were greeted by Matt, "Hello, long time no see."
"Yes it's been an hour, much too long," Rey rolled her eyes joking.
"Come on, everyone who has arrived is out back," Matt led them to a low deck where his parents were sitting with, Adrien and Felix's body guard, Luke's mom, and Cassian, "These are my parents Carrie and Harrison."
"Hi Rey!" Jyn screamed from a trampoline not far off before doing a back flip.
Rey greeted Matt's parents and then walked over to the trampoline, "That's so cool, can I try?"
"It's a little different then the one we use for cheer practice but sure, take your shoes off," Jyn answered still hopping around, soon after Rey could successfully do a front flip, "You're such a fast learner, I'm so happy you're in cheer."
"Thanks, I'm so excited for Monday," Rey did another front flip not noticing the Solo family had arrived.
"That was pretty cool Kenobi!" Luke called from the deck where everyone had been watching them.
"Thanks, now let's see you try!" Rey called back.
"I'm too old for that!" Luke called, as Ben made his way over to the trampoline.
"Hey Ben," Rey dropped to a seated position in front of him, "What's up?"
"Nothing, just came over to watch," he shoved he's hands into the pockets of his black jeans.
"Come on Solo, let's see what you can do," Rey smirked slightly as Ben raised his eyebrow. Jyn hopped off the trampoline as Ben took off his shoes and climbed on. Rey rolled backwards and into a standing position.
"Wait, how did you do that?" Ben asked in amazement. She explained to him just as Jyn had, he successfully rolled on to his knees but when he tried to stand he fell on his butt and laughed, "You make everything look easy."
"That's not true," Rey rolled her eyes and held out her hand to help him up.
He just stared up at her, her hair floating around with every bounce, her eyes drawing attention to how they showed brightly and her freakles he hadn't really noticed till now, not to mentioned her legs, he saw it earlier but didn't think to ask, "What's this?"
She sat down beside him, from her ankle to her knee on the outside of her left leg was a thick line of skin much darker than the rest, "The dryer broke when it was my turn to do laundry in the orphanage and I knew I would get in trouble if I didn't get my work done so when I turned it back on I still had the cover off and my leg was touching a tube."
"That must have hurt alot, how old were you?" Ben asked as he ran his finger along the mark.
"Not too much, I was seven so I just ran it under cold water for a while," Rey shrugged, she remember crying herself to sleep that night but she wasn't going to tell him that.
"I like your shirt," Ben changed the subject.
"Thanks, it's either Finn or Poe's," Rey pulled at the bottom of it slightly making sure it covered her stomach.
"I don't think I've ever seen you mad," Ben smiled.
"It might scare you off," Rey smiled back.
"Doubt it, you'll probably look adorable," Ben smirked as Rey bit her lip and looked away.
"What up fam?" Poe climbed onto the trampoline and laid down on his stomach between them.
"The sky," Rey laid down with her head on the curve of Poe's back. The rain clouds had cleared away and the sun had dried the ground and the chill of the night was started to set in as the sun dipped below the tree line.
"Kids come and eat!" Mrs. Rayd called from the deck.
The fencing team sat on the floor of the deck with their plates of hamburgers, and Matt set three bags of chips in the center of their circle. Finn opened one of the bags and held a chip out to Rey, "You're going to hate this."
"Oh no," Rey groaned taking the chip and putting it into her mouth, chewing for a second, coughing, and then spitting it into a napkin, "Why do I trust you people."
"Because you love us," Finn laughed taking a handful of jalapeño kettle cooked chips.
"Boys, you can't feed your sister spicy food till she throws up," their Dad sighed from where him and the other adults were watching this kids.
"I only threw up that one time and it was an accident," Rey defended as everyone else looked horrified, "It was only a little."
"Can we not talk about throwing up while we're eating?" Han asked.
After dinner the kids gathered around a stone fire pit and roasted marshmallows for s'mores. The fire pit had a stone bench wrapping around 3/4 of it where Matt, Luka, Adrien, Felix, Finn, Poe, Rey, and Ben sat around the fire, Adrien suddenly jumped to stand on the bench, "Let's play truth or dare!"
"Have you ever played truth or dare?" Felix questioned.
"No, but it sounds fun," Adrien sat on the back of the bench.
"Okay, Adrien, truth or dare?" asked Finn.
"Dare," Adrien smiled enthusiastically.
"Make all the adults s'mores," Finn smirked.
"Finn is my new favorite," Harrison called as the adults sat watching them.
"Luka, truth or dare?" Adrien started setting out gram crackers and chocolate on the tray.
"Dare," Luka was handed a marshmallow on a stick.
"Help me."
"Felix, truth or dare?" Luka finished a marshmallow and put it between the chocolate and gram crackers.
"Truth," everyone sighed because that wasn't as fun
"If you had to kiss someone in the circle who would you pick?" asked Luka avoiding the stern glare from his mother.
Felix thought for a second, "I think Poe would be worth my time."
"No more truths or dares about kissing!" Finn blushed slouching in his seat as Poe leaned over him close to Felix.
"Darn I was going to ask Rey if she's good at kissing," Poe rolled his eyes.
"I haven't gotten any negative feed back, " Rey said quietly enough for none of the adults to hear then turned to Ben, "I think I've caught your habit of not thinking before a speak."
Every one laughed as Ben stared at her in offended shock, Felix cleared his throat, "Ben truth or dare?"
"Um dare," Ben answered.
"You and Matt have to reenact the hand holding scene in The Last Jedi," Felix gave a small smile.
"Can I be the dad that is mad to see a 30 year old in his daughters room?" asked Rey.
"That's a pretty accurate representation of what happened," Finn laughed.
Matt slowly stretched his hand out to Ben who reached out his so their fingers brushed together, "Which one of us is Kylo?"
"You are, take your shirt off," Matt spoke trying and failing not to laugh.
"I'd rather not do this now," Ben let out a snort then covered his mouth and nose in embarrassment. Rey found the laugh cute, she thought about earlier when Hux had asked if they were dating. She didn't have an answer then but now sitting side by side their legs brushing and listening to him laugh she wished they were so they could stay there forever.
In case you haven't noticed this story is not a cross over but it does have characters from other fandoms and names of actors just so there can be more characters without taking the time to introduce them. Also I googled a bunch of stuff about fencing so if I got some things wrong I'm really sorry!
