It was time for Finn to get back to the Resistance base. He knew he would be in a lot of trouble for commandeering a ship and leaving unannounced. He was not looking forward to that, but better to return sooner rather than later.

"At least now I can properly say goodbye." Rey amended. She hugged her best friend tightly. Finn hugged back. "Goodbye Finn."

Then she did something that neither of them were expecting: she kissed him on the cheek. Rey didn't know why she did it, but it just felt right.

Finn was taken aback. He had no idea how much she meant that kiss to mean, but he knew exactly how much it meant to him. He grabbed her calloused hand tightly in his. "Goodbye Rey." He said, smiling warmly. He knew the longer he stayed, the harder it would be for him to leave, so he squeezed her hand and turned to climb into the cockpit. Rey smiled as she watched him leave.

It had been a good day. Maybe even the best day Rey ever had. For the first time in her life she had been able to be a kid. For a moment she hadn't worried about the future, or her destiny or anything. And she got to spend it with her best friend Finn.
