That night, I hear a soft knock on my door.
"Ri! What are you doing here?"
"I dragged Poe over here to apologize."
I jump out bed. "What the-"
"Call your boyfriend over. Poe needs to apologize to him too."
"Geez Ri." Poe complains. "Your sounding like our mother."
Ben.
Rey?
Can you, can you come over to my room?
Why?
Please just trust me.
Ok, I'm coming.
"He's coming." I say.
"Great." Ri says, a big smile on her face.
"Ri, can't I just apologize to Rey and then write the dude a note?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I don't trust you to write the note."
"I'm here." Ben stands at the door, looking absolutely exhausted and a little annoyed at being woken up in the middle of the night.
"Great!" Ri says with a huge smile. How is she so awake? "So, Poe, anything you want to say?"
"Nope." He tries to walk out, but Ri grabs him by the shirt and fixes him with an icy stare.
"Try. Again."
"Sorry for being a jerk." He mumbled under his breath.
"Poe..." Ri warns.
"Okay!" He looks Ben and I both in the eye. "I'm sorry."
"Thank you Poe." I say.
"Thank you." Ben says. "And I'm sorry too."
Poe leaves with a slight smile on his face.
"Night Rey." Ben kisses me on the cheek before he leaves.
"Night Ben."
The next morning, in the dinner hall, I'm sitting beside Ben, and Poe sits down on the other side of him.
"So Ben, do you enjoy flying?" He asks, trying to make small talk.
"Yes."
"Same! Can you fly an X-wing?"
"Can you fly a Tie-fighter?"
"Yes."
"Oh. I was expecting you to say no, because that was my answer. How can you fly a Tie-fighter?"
"I was the one who you kidnapped of of that Jakku city and tortured, and I escaped with your stormtrooper." He says, pointing across the room at Finn.
"Oh. That was you. I'm sorry. I know that doesn't really make up for it, but I am."
"Thanks."
