I looked it up and yes, churros are in the Star Wars universe.

Rey's POV:

I woke up to my stomach growling. I have been in bed all day without a bite to eat.

Ben was fast asleep next to me. Was it really that late?

I got up to change in the 'fresher. There were red curved marks on my skin from him biting me.

Like he has a right to talk.

I pulled on my robes and put my hair in one bun before stepping out.

There was no one in the halls. I saw a clock and it was the early hours of the morning.

The cafeteria was still open. All they seemed to have left was of course the food I absolutely hated it.

There was a plate full of churros. I groaned but so did my stomach. They were just too sweet for my liking or what I'm used to.

I picked one up and broke a piece off and popped it in my mouth.

The sweetness was too overbearing still but I swallowed it down anyways.

It's my fault for sleeping in anyway.

I left because there was no other food.

"What're you doing up?"

My blood went cold as I looked over my shoulder.

"General Hux." He raised an eyebrow at me then walked up closer with his arms folded.

"You're causing quite a frenzy here."

Hux's energy felt very strange. I didn't like being near him.

"I'm sorry."

"I guess it doesn't matter though. You will become the new prodigy of the First Order. You are younger and stronger than Ren."

I knew what he was trying to do and he did this every time we bumped into each other. I can't fall for it again. If there was just some way to keep Ben safe from Hux and Snoke. It hit me.

"I could say the same to you."

"What?" He snapped.

"I mean aren't you younger than Snoke. Kylo can't run this whole thing on his own."

His face got hard. "What're you getting at?"

I placed a hand on my hip. "I'm saying that you could wield all the power here if you tried," I walked past him, "we could rule this place together."

I can't believe I just said that. I have to taste the Dark Side if I wanted to save him, if I wanted to save Ben.

Ben's POV:

The rest of the week was different. We went back to training but she acted different. I let her sleep in my room every night because it was easier for me.

Every time I tried to tap into her mind, it was blocked.

"Okay stop."

She straightened out of her form. "What's wrong?"

"I should be asking you that. You're blocking me out and I don't like it."

I know I've been acting different but that's only because I'm trying to suppress the darkness. What the hell is the matter with her?

"It's nothing."

She put the staff back and headed for the exit.

I ran after her and grabbed her waist.

"Hey, talk to me."

She was scaring me. This cold silence, it wasn't her.

She sighed and spun around.

"I haven't been feeling well lately, alright? I didn't want to worry you."

I grabbed her hands. "Well you are."

I pressed my lips on to the top of herhair. "You know you can trust me."

She looked up at me and smiled. "Yeah."

She gave me a quick kiss. "I have to take care of something."

Rey ran out of my arms.

I didn't like this.

Either way, I went back to my room and pulled up a HoloNet. Luke gave me the coordinate number to the Illenium System before we left.

I called it. Come on someone pick up.

An image of my mother appeared. "Mom?"

"Ben? This a surprise."

"Rey is hiding from me."

She stared at me. "Where is she now?"

I shook my head.

"She wants me to..."

"To what?"

"Nothing. What am I supposed to do?"

My mother chuckled. "Look, Ben, come home. Talk to Luke. He may help more than I can. He did train her for a while."

She was right.

"Okay, I'll get a ship ready."

I got one ready on my own. I'm the Commander, I can do whatever the hell I want.

I didn't think there was time to change into robes so I just flew down in my training clothes.

This sucks. But I wouldn't be hiding from her if she wasn't hiding from me.

I landed on the runway and jumped out, running to the base.

My mother was waiting for me but her underlings were walking up to me fast.

Why was he always here? And the pilot? Really?

I didn't even get to open my mouth without them saying something.

"What happened to Rey this time? There's always a problem with you isn't there?"

The pilot stepped up. "Easy, easy. We can all say he's not the best guy for her, I mean there's a whole galaxy and she chooses this guy, but at least she's safe when she's with him. Kudos to you man."

"Um thanks?"

Finn had his jaw dropped. "Safe? She's not safe! She's-"

Poe patted his shoulder. "She's alright. You're worried about her. That's what the General said."

I looked down and nodded.

"See? She's safe with a man that worries."

I never thought the pilot would side with me.

I walked past them to my mother.

"Where's Luke?"

"He's meditating in the back of the building."

I began running. I have to return to her so I can't be here for long.

I burst through the doors to the back meadow. My uncle was sitting in the grass in a straight position, sitting tall.

Breaking focus on someone meditating has always been taboo but this was an emergency.

I cleared my voice before speaking up. "Uncle Luke."

I walked over to him slowly. He looked up at me then closed his eyes, returning to his position.

I sat next to him.

"I have a question."

"Is it about your Force Bond? Rey made me aware of it on the island one day."

There goes everything. "Yes. She's shut me out completely, and she acts differently. She's keeping secrets."

"I'm proud of you Ben."

"What?"

He opened his eyes. "You're grandfather's demise was his fear of losing a girl. But you're strength is protecting her."

A blush creeped up on my cheeks and most likely my ears.

"You're energy feels different as well. It seems your new purpose has changed your entire being."

Does that mean Rey got what she wanted?

"But what about her?"

He sighed. "It sounds to me that she may be pursuing the Dark I trained her there were traces of it in her thoughts, movements, everything."

This can't be true. I stood up.

"I need her back!"

Luke got up as well. "Why don't you show her how much you've changed for her?"

What does he mean?

"Follow me."

"These were your grandfather's, well before he turned evil."

I put the brown robe over my shoulders for the finished look. "Where do you people get this stuff? Seriously is there a closet of antiques lying somewhere I don't know about?"

"Because you changed by her being as a whole, maybe if she saw you as a Jedi and not some Commander, she may come to her senses."

He ignored my question.

"Go, go and bring her back. Both of you come back here in one piece."

I nodded before running off again. A wardrobe change? Of course he would think of that.

I hopped back into my ship and began back to Rey.

I couldn't find her anywhere. Even at night, she didn't come to my room. I hung up my new Jedi robes and went to bed.

I felt like I was asleep for a minute when I woke up to Rey on top of me.

I let my scanner allow her print as well so she could come in anytime but this was unexpected.

"Rey-"

She leaned down, pressing her lips against mine. I felt her wander her lips to my neck. I bit my lip, trying to control myself. I knew what she was doing.

"What're you doing? Where've you been all day?"

She ran her hands up my chest.

"It doesn't matter." I grabbed her waist and rolled over so that I was on top of her instead.

"Yes it does matter."

She rubbed her hand on my neck. "I'll tell you in the morning."

I pressed my forehead against her shoulder.

"Please stop this."

I looked up at her and she was fast asleep. Wow.

I rested my head against her chest, allowing my overthinking to help me sleep.
