Leia was walking down the corridor towards her room when she saw her brother sitting on his bed fiddling around with his light saber in deep thought.
"Hey..." Leia greeted and Luke looked up in surprise not having noticed her standing in his doorway,"Oh uh hi Sis, what's up?" he asked.
"Not too much actually and that's what worries me, why hasn't the first order made any moves yet? They're up to something, I can feel it." Leia replied nervously and Luke sighed.
"Yeah uh... about that, you need to lay off using the force for a bit or you'll wear yourself out." Luke told her in concern and Leia raised a questioning eyebrow.
"You fainted last night Leia. You're not as used to using the force as I am and it's a commonly known fact that force sensitives who don't use the force on a regular basis can become easily overwhelmed when they use the force more often than they are used to, that's what caused you to faint. I know you can take care of yourself, in fact you've proven that time and time again but your my sister Leia and I don't want to lose you so I'm asking you. Please... just promise me you'll take it easy for a while." Luke explained and Leia laughed and scoffed at the same time.
"Luke I'm fine, really! Honestly, why can't everyone just get off my case about this? I fainted, I'm not dead! I mean really. Anyways, you're giving your niece basic jedi training today so I hope you're ready. Just the basics, nothing more for now. I don't want her to get too excited or impatient because if she's too eager I'm worried she'll lose control like Vader did and I can't go through that again." Leia told her brother and Luke huffed.
"Why do you keep calling him that?! He wasn't just Vader Leia, he was our father-" Leia cut her brother off.
"Not to me Luke! He wasn't Anakin Skywalker to me, by the time I knew him he wasn't my father. He was just Darth Vader and the only father I ever knew was killed when he blew up my planet! He blew it up Luke, Alderaan was the only home I'd ever known and he blew it up! So no Luke Vader was and is not my father, Bail Organa was and always will be my father! That monster wasn't my father because he killed my father damn it! Now go and get ready to make your niece a jedi and stop talking about that bastard like he was a hero because he wasn't!" Leia hissed as a single tear rolled down her cheek before she stormed off.
Phasma was sitting against the wall of one of the hangers in the landing field with her elbows resting on her knees when she saw Rey walking towards her.
Phasma got to her feet and was about to walk away when Rey grabbed her by the upper arm gently,"Get your hands off me!" Phasma hissed and Rey let her go.
"Look I didn't come here to fight, I came to say that I'm sorry. I was angry because after I found your com unit on the Falcon I thought you planned to betray us but I was wrong and if I could undo everything I did and said I would but I can't and I'm sorry. No excuses just... I'm sorry." Rey explained and hung her head in shame.
Phasma scoffed with a half smirk,"Okay you've said you're sorry so go away and leave me alone! Apology accepted." she replied and walked away.
Rey sighed shamefully,"Is it really? Because you still sound pretty pissed off about it."
"How exactly would you like me to sound Rey? You jump me, kick my ass, basically accuse me of destroying your entire life and you expect everything to just be normal again simply because you apologized? Well excuse me but I think I have every right to be a little pissed off! I forgive you but I'm not going to pretend that it didn't hurt when I was starting to think we were friends and then you go and pull that shit! I get it Rey, really I do but you could have talked to me about it or your mother, you didn't have to use torture tactics to find out if I was truly on your side. I thought we could be friends and maybe, just maybe when I calm down we still can be but right now I need you to shove off because I'm still angry and I need some distance so just go please." Phasma explained as tears slipped from her eyes.
"Okay, I'll go. I really am sorry Phasma." Rey said so quietly that Phasma almost didn't hear her.
"I know and like I said I forgive you but I need time alone so please just go Rey. I'll come see you later if I feel up to it." Phasma replied and Rey nodded before turning and walking back to base.
Rey decided to go find her uncle and see if he was ready to begin her jedi training when she ran into Finn.
"Hey Rey, where've you been lately? We haven't had time to hang out like we used to and what is up with your mom and your uncle? Do they always argue this much?" Finn asked and Rey smiled.
"Asking the wrong person I'm afraid, I only just found out they were my family within the last three months or so but from what I hear it was always my parents who argued a lot. I heard that my parents used to get into arguments so big that they'd actually start throwing stuff at each other and that my uncle was the only one who could break it up and it was only when they started looking like they were going to hit each other that Chewbacca would have to help my uncle physically pull them away from each other. So no, I don't think my mom and uncle argue a lot. Why? Have they been?" Rey explained and Finn nodded.
"Uh yeah, they have and it's kind of scary actually. I don't know about you but I would not want to be the one to piss your mom off because damn! When Leia gets angry, she gets angry like really angry. All I know is that your uncle said something about Vader being their father and your mom completely flipped shit, I mean she totally lost it on him. It was terrifying, I've never seen her so angry. Ever." Finn explained and Rey nodded.
"Yeah. Well that isn't entirely surprising really, when my mom was twenty she'd been captured by Darth Vader and taken to the death star. The first death star. Anyways, she'd stolen holo plans which detailed the technical read-outs of the death star and hidden them within R2 D2 for the rebel alliance. Vader tortured her in attempts to get her to tell him where the plans were but she refused so he decided on a different tactic and set the death star's course for Alderaan which was my mothers home planet. Vader told her that if she wanted Alderaan to live then she would tell him where one of the rebel bases were as well as the plans to the death star. She told him she didn't know where the plans were but she did give him the name of a system where one rebel base was located hoping he would believe her but it didn't do any good. Vader still blew Alderaan up and he forced her to watch him do it. A few hours later my dad and my uncle came and rescued her... well sort of rescued her but I think it was more of a team effort." Rey explained and Finn gasped.
"Damn, that must have been pretty rough. So wait, Darth Vader is actually Anakin Skywalker? That would make him your... Oh damn that's gotta suck. Your grandfather blew up your mom's planet after he tortured her and your uncle still defends him, what the hell is that about?" Finn asked.
"Well towards the end of the battle of Endor, my grandfather brought my uncle before the emperor with the intention of corrupting my uncle to the dark side of the force but as emperor Palpatine got closer and closer to killing my uncle when he refused to turn to the dark side my grandfather couldn't stand seeing his son suffering and in so much pain. So Darth Vader picked the emperor up and held him over his head before he tossed Palpatine over a ledge with a really, really long drop however in doing this he was badly injured while trying to save my uncle and died before my uncle could get him back to the forest moon of Endor. So technically my grandfather sacrificed himself to save my uncle's life and because of this my uncle has always said that Darth Vader may have been a monster on the outside but to my uncle he was Anakin Skywalker on the inside. Uncle Luke knows how bad Vader was but he still believes that some of Anakin remained trapped inside, some good trapped inside of him. My mom does not agree and absolutely hates it when my uncle refers to Vader as their father, my uncle cannot stand it when she refers to him as Vader instead of seeing him as their father. I think it's one of the few things they do argue over." Rey explained and Finn nodded.
"Oh I get it. To her Vader will always be the jerk who blew up her home and to him, Vader would always be the guy who messed up but in the end he went out like a hero and a father. Your mom denies Vader as her father by anything but blood and your uncle defends him for his final actions while ignoring all the pain, suffering and destruction he caused. She sees him as a monster and he sees Vader as the father who screwed up until the one time he didn't." Finn nodded.
"Pretty much yeah. Look Finn, I'm supposed to start my jedi training with my uncle today and I'm already late so can we finish this later? I'm really sorry but I promise to find some time so we can hang out." Rey explained and Finn nodded.
"Yeah, no you should go train so you can kick some ass jedi style. I'll catch ya later Rey." Finn replied with a smile and Rey laughed as she rushed to find her uncle.
