The last of the resistance had finally made their way upon the Falcon. Feeling relived Rey turned to close the door. She paused.

Her stomach sank as she recognized a familiar feeling. The air around her became still and everything was silent. Kylo Ren once again appeared before her kneeling on one knee. He looked up at her.

Noticing his expression, that of a lost boy, she almost felt bad for him. The moment was brief as she remembered he had brought this upon himself. She had pleaded with him not to chose the path he couldn't let go of. But what influence did a filthy junk trader of Jakku have on anyone, let alone Kylo Ren. None.

He remained silent, gazing into her eyes as if he was expecting her to say something. But for Rey, there were no words left to say. Without hesitation she pressed the button her finger had been locked on and the Falcon hissed shut. Any type of relationship that had formed between them vanished as quickly as their force connection.

Rey sighed heavily as the Falcon jumped into hyper space. Leaning back against the wall of the boarding ramp she regained her composure. She wanted to push the encounter as far back into her mind as possible, for now it was easy as her mind was over taken with exhaustion.

Collecting herself she stood up straight and made her way down the hall towards the middle bay, longing for sleep. She rounded the corner to the right and continued towards the main hold, the ships community area.

Towards the door she spotted a small orange and white blur as BB8 rolled into the commotion of people. She smiled and walked over to the droid. "Oh look at you, your a mess" she smiled, bending down to fix his antenna. BB8 nodded at her with appreciation before she stood up to continue into the hold.

"Hi" Rey was greeted by a rough voice. She spun around to face a young gentlemen. His hair was brown and matted with no obvious attempt of being fixed. His eyes sharing the same shade shone brightly. He smiled at her politely. "I'm Poe" he spoke

"Rey" she replied happily.

"I know" he nodded. His eyes squinting happily.

A large grin cracked on her face followed by flushing pink cheeks, before he continued walking past her. Wether it was the rush of being recognized or simple attraction she felt her response was out of place and quickly corrected it.

Stepping into the main hold Rey spotted and empty bench. Finally she was able to breath for a moment. She sat down, Luke's broken lightsaber sat clenched in her palm. Taking a moment to look around she spotted Finn. He stood by a small cot and gently draped a blanket over a young girl. She couldn't have been no older than Rey, possibly even younger. He remained by her side afterwards and watched her with concern.

It made old memories swiftly pass through her mind; she couldn't help but wonder what kind of trouble they had gotten themselves into, it made her smile.

Her attention was turned elsewhere as Leia took a seat next to her. She looked towards her leader with sympathy. "Luke is gone" Rey whispered. It was almost a question as if she didn't want to believe it herself. Leia looked up at waiting for her to continue "It wasn't out of pain. But of peace and purpose"

Rey could see the sadness in Leia's eyes. "I know" she responded. "I felt it"

Guilt ate away at Rey. Her last interaction with Skywalker had been short of pleasant. "This is not going to go the way you think it is" His words hummed through her head. Luke had been right all along. This was not how she had planned things going. Ben was suppose to turn and join the resistance, but instead he chose darkness. Rey felt foolish.

With a quiet nod to Leia, Rey stood up and escorted herself down the Deck Hatch to the crew quarters, hoping to find an empty cot to retire for the duration of the ride. She had no idea where Chewie was taking them but she prayed it was far enough away to keep the first order off their backs a while.

The cabin door opened loudly revealing three simple beds. Two of them were already occupied by those who had been badly wounded in battle. Her eyes sink with sorrow as she takes refuge in the last available cot. It was cold and rough with a blanket to match, but she was took exhausted to mind. She rolled to her side only to be stuck with pain on her arm. The cut throbbed. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to ignore it.

The door opened moments before she was about to drift off into sleep. A young man entered and walked towards one of the occupied huts. Rey couldn't get a good look at him but she watched as he serviced the wounded crew. He placed fresh bandages on open cuts and checked their breathing. There wasn't much else he could do other than keep and eye on them. When he had finished he stood up and began to walk out of the cabin, before he noticed Rey.

"Hey" he calls over to her before taking a few steps towards her cot. "I didn't realize there was another person here. Are you okay?" It was Poe.

"Fine, just entirely exhausted" she replied. She didn't want to mention the cut on her arm. It wasn't anything she couldn't endure and didn't want to waste supplies.

"Ah well if that ain't the truth. Today's has been one hell of a day, if you ask me." He grinned. "Don't let me keep you up" He turned away from her and shuffled through a nearby drawer, pulling out a cotton blanket. He smiled warmly as he draped the much more comfortable blanket over her. He was about to leave when he knelt down next to her. His eyes twinkling. He placed his hand on hers lightly.

"Thank you" He spoke genuinely. "for everything you've done today. Drawing those ties off our backs was genius. And I'll be damned if I wasn't impressed when you single handily lifted an entire mountain of rocks. Finn kept telling me how amazing you were, but that.. that was far beyond it. You saved a lot of lives today. You saved the resistance. You should be proud." He stood up before she could reply and left the room.

The warmth of his hand lingered on hers, and she felt her cheeks grow hot. Everything bad about the day seemed to vanish for the moment and she was able to finally sleep.

Rey was startled awake as the ship landed with a thud. The entire cabin shook. The pushed herself off the cot and stretched her arms. Her back ached uncomfortably. She gathered up her belongs and opened the cabin door. Poe was on the other side waiting to enter.

"I was just about to fetch you" he grinned. "But I see Chewies landing did quiet the trick"

"One would think with all the damage this ship has taken, he would be a little more gentle" Rey starts.

"Ah, but this ship has been through a lot worse, including it's fair share of crash landings. I'm actually impressed it hasn't broken down yet" Poe's eyes scanned the cabin as if he saw more than just three plain walls and a doorway. Admiration shone brightly on his face. "The Millennium Falcon, the ship of legend."

Rey felt her heart tighten. "A ships legend is only as good as the pilot" her voice strained trying to get the words out.

Poe turned back to her with a sympathetic smile. He himself had know Han Solo for quiet sometime and felt the pain of his loss all the same. "When one legend falls, comes another to takes it's place" He walked over to Rey and gently placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

She smiled at him with a look of gratitude. Hans Solos death was a tragedy of more than just war. Rey couldn't keep herself from replaying the moment over in her head whenever she thought of him. It hit especially hard as a girl who had been abandoned by her own parents, to see how unspeakably calm Han was as he faced his son. He put his life on the line to save Ben, and even in his final moments he still reached out to him with the loving touch that connected a boy and his father.

"We should get some fresh air" Poe coxed her, sensing her distress. "Come on" He headed towards the door and gestured her to follow.

"Fresh air would be nice" she agrees and followed him out the door.

The boarding ramp lowered with a hiss, sending up a cloud of dust as it landed on the chalky earth. Rey and Poe made their way down in the haze, covering their mouths from breathing in the dirt. As the cloud cleard Rey's eyes wided as the Planet comes into focus.

Ahead of her streched out a vast forest of tall green trees, taller than any she had ever seen before. The bark was a rich dark brown with emerald leaves that sparkled as the suns rays broke through. The forest floor was littered with thick lush patches of moss and tall tall grass that swayed in the breeze. The sight was a breath taking.

"Where are we?" Rey asks in Awe.

Before Poe has a chance to answer a voice sounds from behind. "Welcome to Endor!" They both turn around to see General Organa making her way down the ramp.
