Wow. I honestly wasn't expecting any reviews at all, let alone 6 in 24 hours. Thanks you guys! I'm glad you like Ry and her relationship with Poe. I didn't think so many people would find it so captivating!

SuperCocoLoco - Thank you! I think I'll tackle that later, but for now I want to write a little about them as children and how they grew up together.

Leia - Thank you so much!

Zafrina - I'm going to try! I hope you like it and I can stick it out!

Firestar007 - Thank you! Ry and Poe go a little nuts when they fly together, and their squadrons feed off of them and everybody has a great time. You'll see eventually!

redswallow - Thank you! I'm hoping to flesh her out a bit more, I hope you continue to enjoy!

Souffl3Girl - Thank you! I'm going to write some on their childhood on Yavin-4, and hopefully some more TFA and maybe even post-TFA stuff. I hope you like it!

I have to admit, I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan. I recently marathoned the original trilogy for the first time with my brother to get better background on TFA, but I'm not well-versed in the lore, so any mistakes you see are due to that ignorance. I don't know much about Yavin-4, so I'm just going to use my imagination.

I don't know if this will be more than just a few one-shots and snippets, but let's see where it takes us! If you have any requests or suggestions, please message me or leave them in a review! We're starting off with the first meeting.

I don't own Star Wars. Consider yourselves disclaimed.


YAVIN-4

4 YEARS OLD

Poe stood next to his mother, one hand clasped in her tunic as he eyed the little girl standing a few feet from him. She held the hand of her own mother, who was speaking with Shara on their doorstep. Poe was torn between feeling gleeful and wary - he had been hoping for another kid to move close by, he just hoped this girl would be fun to play with.

"We've just finished building our house on the other side of those trees, and wanted to introduce ourselves. My name is Tali Keen, this is my daughter Rymer."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Tali, Rymer. I'm Shara Dameron, this is my son Poe." Poe waved with the hand not clutchung his mother's tunic, a gesture Rymer returned. "You and Poe are the only ones your age around here, Rymer. You two should stick together."

Poe nodded, deciding he wanted to be friends. "Wanna go play in the forest?"

Rymer's green eyes widened and she smiled. "Okay!" She let go of her mother's hand, instead grabbing Poe's. He looked at their clasped hands with a furrowed brow before shrugging and pulling her along towards the treeline.

Their mothers watched them for several moments, making sure they stayed within earshot and they could still catch glimpses as they ran through the trees. It wasn't long before shrieks of laughter could be heard, and Tali and Shara shared a smile. They resumed their chat, discussing life in the colony and what had brought the Keen family to Yavin-4. They found themselves laughing nearly as much as their children as nearly an hour passed.

"Mama Tali! Mama Tali!"

Both women were instantly ready to soothe whatever hurt had caused such a scream, but the smile on both children's faces quelled their panic as Rymer crashed into her mother's legs.

"Mama Tali, Poe says his mama's a pilot and that she can take us flying sometimes and she could even teach us when we get bigger can I do it can I please!" Tali raised one eyebrow at Shara, who smiled and nodded, confirming the truth of the statement. Tali schooled her features into sternness, looking between both children.

"Rymer Keen, you know better than to ask me a question like that..." both children sagged with disappointment, until a speeder engine could be heard with perfect timing, "...before your mother gets home. She has to say yes, too."

Rymer lit up again, grabbing Poe by the hand and running back down the drive and around the corner that led to their house. "Mama Delu! Mama Delu!"

Tali and Shara finally burst out laughing.

"Tali, I think your daughter might actually be able to keep my son on his toes."

"I'll just be glad if he can keep up with her, my wife and I find her frankly exhausting."

At that moment another woman rounded the corner, speedster helmet under one arm and both children at her heels, talking a mile a minute. Delu met her wife's eye with an amused grin, before offering her hand to Shara. "Delu Keen," she said. "So what's this about teaching my kid to fly?"

Shara shook her hand. "I flew with the Resistance, and I've promised to teach Poe when he's old enough. I'd be happy to teach Rymer, as well. Until then, she's always welcome to fly with us."

Delu picked up on the game instantly when she saw Tali's wink, and she pretended to be thoughtful about it. "Weeeellll..."

"Mama!" Rymer begged plaintively, and Delu could no longer hide her laughter.

"Alright, alright! Of course you can, little starfighter. Just promise to be safe."

Poe was instantly on his own mother's arm. "Can we fly now, Mama? Please?"

"No sir. Your father will be home soon. Go play in the forest some more before dinner." Poe and Rymer both drooped dejectedly, and Rymer turned to follow him back towards the trees. Shara exchanged a glance with the girl's mothers, sharing an eyeroll at the pitiful sight. "Which you're all invited to!" she called after them. "And we can go flying after." The children straightened immediately, running back to throw their arms around her legs. She laughed, ruffling both heads of dark hair, before they let go and ran back towards the trees, hand in hand.

Delu chuckled after them. "Now that is what I call trouble."
