A/N: I'm back!
Yup, quick update from me because I love this story so much already! And you guys too! Seriously, I didn't expect so much love for the first chapter! You guys are great! Thank you guys so much for the love! I never expected it! Guess people really do like Luke/Rey fics!
Alright, speaking of that ship, there's going to be some Luke/Rey bonding in this chapter. I think you guys will enjoy it. ;)
Here we go!
After meeting everyone in the Millennium Falcon, Leia and Luke filled Rey in on everything that had happened and what happened to Han. Rey was shocked at what the Empire had done to Han Solo just so Jabba the Hutt could get him. Then she thought about his death at Kylo Ren's hand. Tears filled her eyes at the thought of his death. At least that was the future and not right now. Rey couldn't tell them anything about the future and what would happen. She couldn't tell them about Han's death, Leia and Han's son being on the dark side, and Luke getting his Jedi Order destroyed and him disappearing afterwards. Rey wanted to spare them from that pain.
"Why don't I help you guys out? Han seems like a good friend of yours and I want to help," Rey offered.
Luke and Leia looked at each other for a minute before they looked back at the scavenger. "I'm sure we can fit you in with the plan. We just sent the droids out to deliver a message I made. If that doesn't work, Leia and Chewie are going out with a plan Leia came up with herself, and if that doesn't work, I'm going in," Luke said.
Rey nodded, understanding the whole plan. "I'll go with you, Luke. I think that works best," she said.
Leia nodded in agreement. "I agree. Besides, I don't have an extra bounty hunter outfit for her," she said.
The three then heard a loud beeping noise and Luke reached into his pocket. He pulled out a comlink and turned it on. Rey listened in curiousity as Luke talked to someone he called Lando. He spoke to the person on the other line for a minute and then turned of the comlink.
"Lando says that the droids' part didn't work out. Leia, it's your turn with Chewie," Luke informed.
Leia sighed and then went over to the pile of supplies to grab her bounty hunter armor and started to put it on. After she put on her armor, she grabbed a blaster and a thermal detonator before putting her helmet on. Rey looked surprised when she saw the thermal detonator. Then Leia grabbed a neck chain and put on on Chewie, who tried to protest.
"Alright, we're going out. Wish us luck," Leia said before she and Chewie started to leave the ship. Her voice sounded different because of the helmet she was wearing.
"May the Force be with you," Luke said. Leia nodded and the two left the ship and went to head towards Jabba's palace.
That left Luke and Rey alone together. Neither one of them knew what to say to one another. Rey just looked at the Jedi, awkwardly, thinking about how he looked before she came to this time. In her time, he looked old and sad. But here, he looked young and determined. She wondered how this man could ever become how he did in her time. She could tell that it was out of depression, but he was so different here. What if the Force sent her back here to change that? What if it wanted her to change time?
Luke finally spoke up to her, interrupting the scavenger's thoughts. "So, Leia told me that you are Force Sensitive. Were you ever trained?" He asked her.
Rey shook her head at him. "No I wasn't. Ever since I was five, I lived on Jakku on my own, not knowing about my Force sensitivity. It wasn't until I left and found this," she explained, taking out the lightsaber from her bag to show it to Luke, "when I found out. I used it to escape captivity and to escape with my friend from an exploding super weapon. It's a long story."
Luke's eyes widened when he saw the lightsaber, recognizing it as the one he had lost a year ago. "Where'd you find this?! I lost it in Cloud City with my hand because of Darth Vader," he said, taking it to get a better look at it.
"I found it in a box in Maz Kanata's palace. In the future at least," Rey explained. "It gave me visions when I first touched it. I was afraid of what I saw, so I refused my destiny at first. But now, I want to be a Jedi. I was going to actually meet you in the future, but then I came here." Luke nodded, understanding what was just said to him. Rey had told him before that she was from the future, so he didn't take it as quite as a shock. He started to hand back the lightsaber to the scavenger, but she shook her head at him. "No, you keep it. It's yours anyway," she refused.
"I want you to keep it. It's yours now. I have my own," Luke insisted. Rey hesitated in taking it, but took it when Luke smiled at her. The scavenger smiled back at him and felt her cheeks become hot. She didn't know why she was blushing, and she couldn't stop. Luckily, Luke didn't seem to notice it. He then took her hand and squeezed it gently. "I'm sorry for everything you've been through. I wish there was something I could do for you," he said.
Rey smiled at him and looked down at the ground. Then she looked back at him with a curious expression. "Do you think you can show me some stuff about the Force? Like, how to use a lightsaber properly and some more Force powers? I only know pushing someone out of my head, mind tricks, and Force pull," she asked.
Luke smiled back at her. "I'm sure I can. I'm not fully trained, I'm mostky self taught, but I can definetly show you some moves," he said, standing up. Rey stood up and followed him out of the ship. Once they were outside of the Falcon, the scavenger ignited her lightsaber, ready to show him some moves she had in store for him.
Luke seemed impressed with her moves, even though Rey knew that they weren't perfect. He gave her a few pointers and told her to always be one with the Force and to trust it. After a while, Rey improved on her lightsaber skills and Luke knew that she was perfect either way.
Rey knew that young and determined Luke Skywalker was better than old and sad Luke Skywalker. Instead of long gray hair with a shaggy beard, he had short blonde hair with blue eyes and no beard. Rey thought that he looked better without the beard. The scavenger could feel a small spark forming inside of her, knowing that she liked this young man.
A/N: Wasn't that adorable?!
Dont worry guys, pretty soon, it will get even more romantic. I'm not saying when and I'm not saying how. But it will be happening!
