"We can talk now."

Finn got up from his seat. "Oh sure thing."

Rey noticed Rose share an odd glance with him.

They veered around a corner and they stopped.

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

She made the face they made. "That."

"Oh. Just lunch plans."

"You make lunch plans with that face?"

"Oh yeah... Hey-hey Poe," he made the same strange face. And Poe gave an awkward thumbs-up.

"See lunch plans?"

"Why haven't you ever made that face towards me?"

"I-I will. I could if you want me to."

She squinted her eyes at him and clicked her tongue. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Finn hesitated. "Uh. No no. Definitely not. Why would you think that?"

She rolled her eyes and walked away.

"Rey, wait come on! I believe in you! May the Force be with you!"

Poe called for both Rose and Rey to meet him up in the conference room. It seemed they had a lot in common when it came to ship parts and bypassing things. Except Rose has something on her and she's hiding it with Finn of all people. She didn't like where this friendship was going.

"Rey, good. I found you. Where's Rose?"

"I don't know. I wanted to ask you about her."

"What? We got more intel on the First Order and-"

Click!

No, not now!

She glanced over Poe's shoulder and gasped.

"What? What's wrong?"

Her eyes darted between the men. She wasn't planning on seeing him now.

"Why are you keeping this a secret?"

He got closer until he stood practically next to Poe.

"Ah, you hate it don't you? Having to see me everyday."

That's not it. And she can't answer because Poe is right here.

"Rey. Come on. You with me still?"

His hand waved in her face and shook her shoulder.

She blinked, returning her attention to the General.

"Sorry. Got lost in thought."

Ben stepped back. "It doesn't matter what I do. I won't ever be enough for you."

Rey wanted to talk to him about so many things. There was that weird thing going on with Finn and Rose, and the plans of the Resistance, and them. She wanted to talk about them the most.

Rey didn't know the next time she'd see him but she knew she had to admit her feelings. His insecurity was only furthering them apart.

The only thing she could do by herself was practice with her staff. The saber was broken so she had to make do.

Rey left the hangar. No one was really allowed to leave without clearance but she does not care.

It was nice going outside. The wind was nice and the night sky was just dark enough. Stars adorned the sky like blazing jewels. It was beautiful.

There was a presence nearby, calling her. She knew not to venture too far but couldn't help it.

If she wants to learn as much as she can from the Force, she has to follow her feelings.

Rey started running to the source.

There was a grove of trees right over the first hill she came upon. A lake glimmered nearby, catching her eye.

It was quiet when she came up to it. Quiet and still. Why was it so...?

"I knew you'd find me Rey."

She spun around, holding up her staff.

"Easy there."

"Luke?" She sighed, lowering her weapon.

"That's right."

"You were the one calling me out here? Why?"

Luke walked up to the water, staring at the sky through the reflection.

"I need your help. Desperately."

Rey swung her staff onto her shoulder and came to his side.

"What kind of help?"

"Ben. You were right about him. He's teetering. He needs that push, Rey."

She shook her head, stepping away.

"No. I've already done that. It's up to him-"

"He needs someone to believe in him Rey. I realized that too late. Han. Me. Leia gave up when she shouldn't have," he turned to her quickly. "Don't let them die in vain. Save Ben Solo. Do what I couldn't."

She bit her lip and shut her eyes. It's all so much and scary. The power he wields is something she couldn't control now.

"Luke, I don't think-"

Rey raised her head but he was gone.

She could be just as wrong as Luke was in thinking he could do it himself. This time, she should hold her hand out to him, bring him home.
