General Hux…

After packing, getting yelled at, and trying to explain to everyone where he was going (he lied to most of them), he was finally on his way to Endor. He practiced in his mind what he would reply to her message, even though it changed every time. He also wondered what the Ewoks would be like. He had heard vague descriptions from coworkers, like "cute fuzzy creatures who speak gibberish," and that didn't help his imagination.

She told him to go to the old base, and he knew exactly what she was talking about. He found Endor, then he landed next to Ellie's ship to see Ellie waiting for him with...something...sitting next to her. He guessed it was an Ewok. He got out, and for what seemed like eternity, they just stared at each other.

The Ewok stood up and watched the interaction. Hux took a step, then another, and Ellie did the same, and before they knew it, they were hugging. They were wordless, because words didn't need to be said, Hux realized. After what felt like years, they let go. They grinned at each other.

"I'm glad you came," Ellie said softly.

"You'll be glad to know that I am not here to capture you and bring you back to the First Order. You may have been influenced, but my thoughts are perfectly clear. I care about you. You treated me like nobody ever had, and even though you had been taken over by the 'dark' side, light still shone through. We may be on opposite sides of this war, but I want to… get to know you. Not First Order you, but normal you."

The Ewok chose then to interrupt. He patted Ellie's arm and spoke in its primitive language. Ellie nodded. "This is Wiket. He was there for the first civil war. He has become a buddy of mine. He taught me how to speak their language, or at least understand what they're saying."

Hux smiled at the ewok. "Wiket, I am Hux. Pleasure to meet you."

Ellie smiled as Wiket made a low growl and spoke again to Ellie. She laughed.

"No, Wiket. He's nothing to worry about." She glanced at him. "Right?"

"Of course."

"Well, then. Let's get started on our relaxing. I've already explained to the chief about you coming, so you don't have to worry about ewoks trying to eat you tonight."

"What?!"

"Don't worry about it," Ellie dismissed with a laugh. They began to walk into the forest, still continuing to chat and laugh, as if their dark pasts were completely rewritten as a better story.
