Kylo and Rey walked on the dry land of Dantooine. The planet was bare with little to no trees, although it had some ruins around along with some small hills.
Rey glanced over to Kylo, who walked alongside her with his usual confident strut.
"I'm surprised you aren't going to that meeting Hux was talking about," Rey spoke with a proud smile, thinking he had changed slightly for the better.
"That is none of your concern," Kylo firmly told her.
Rey's smile slowly faded, reminding herself that Kylo isn't there yet, but she's taking baby steps to snap him back to his old self.
Kylo looked over to see Rey's smile fade. He tried to ignore it, but he actually felt bad for once. It was a disgusting feeling that made his stomach twirl.
He made a bold decision in the heat of the moment.
"Follow me."
Within the week the First Order was at Dantooine, it gave Kylo a chance to explore the area. Only him, Hux, and some other important officers were allowed on top.
Kylo led Rey into a cave, where they ran into several disgusting spider-like bugs. Kylo claimed that it was for practice, but he knew exactly where they were going.
Deep within the cave they ventured, they came to a dead end. However, there were ginormous crystals of all types of colors green, yellow, blue, pink- all over the room!
Rey made a small gasp, approaching one of the crystals, touching it to feel it was slightly warm, radiating a soft amount of heat.
Rey traced her fingers along the ridges and cracks of the glowing blue crystal in front of her. Her eyes illuminated with wonder. "I've never seen anything like this in my entire life…" Rey told Kylo quietly. The room was so empty, you could hear a pin drop.
Once again, Kylo felt sorry for Rey. However, Snoke didn't attack him. This nearly scared Kylo.
Had Snoke lost hope in him? Will he be murdered once he returns to his base?
The thought of everyone turning on him in a split second crossed Kylo's mind, but he saw how Rey stared at the crystals lovingly. Kylo smiled beneath his helmet, before approaching Rey. At first, Rey jumped. She didn't know what Kylo was doing.
Kylo took the crystal from the ground using the force, before taking several others out.
He struggled to have them slowly spin around the room, lighting up the darkness in the cave.
"That's amazing!" Rey laughed, before helping Kylo hold them up.
Kylo glanced over to see Rey's lit up face, her opened mouth in a partial smile, and wide eyes as she watched the crystals go round and round.
At that moment, Rey's wondrous expression turned into a pained expression.
She suddenly dropped, her legs giving out. Kylo caught her, letting all the 50 to 100-pound crystals drop to the ground.
He sensed her having a flashback, but decided not to intrude on it.
Rey watched herself be carried by Kylo, as his Knights of Ren carried Rey's luggage. They traveled all the way back to the village that Rey came from. They were all able to sneak under the noses of all the people in the town.
Kylo had entered Rey's mind, reading about her. He only cared about where she came from since he wanted to put her back.
Kylo brought her back to that ship she had always lived in since she was a little girl. He found her bed and laid her down in it. He put a blanket over her.
"What now?" One of the Knights asked.
"Now, I erase her memory and meet again," Kylo replied, waving his hand over her face.
Rey's eyes opened slowly, seeing Kylo patiently wait for her.
"What did you see?" Kylo asked her, now curious by her calm awakening.
"You didn't look?" Rey questioned, sitting up on her own.
Kylo simply looked away at all of the crystals now misplaced. Rey saw that Kylo truly was turning back into Ben.
Rey wanted to reward Kylo with her flashback.
"What happened was I saw you carrying me. You were with the Knights of Ren. Then you brought me back home and laid me in my bed before wiping my memory," Rey explained, as Kylo nodded.
"That was all of it," Kylo confirmed.
Rey was relieved that she didn't have to black out as much anymore.
Rey pulled out her saber and stood up with Kylo.
"Would you like to practice?" She asked.
"That's why we are here, correct?" Kylo also took out his saber.
Finn was in his room, eating breakfast alone. He couldn't stop being worried about Rey. This was completely unlike him since he's never had any real friends like Poe and Rey. He didn't care much about Poe killing his old friend at the moment, though, which was possibly a good thing.
With all of this alone time, he had finally thought of a plan to save Rey and Kylo.
Finn crept out onto the spaceport and crawled into one of the ships that could fit at least four people into it. In this case, he only needed room for two.
He hit buttons, not knowing what he was doing. However, he hit something to have the ship start flying.
"Oh… I'm going to be in so much trouble," Finn shook his head, smiling out of fear.
Once Finn started to hover over the ground, Poe had taken notice in the distance.
"WAIT! HEY!" Poe started running towards the ship, now growing smaller. BB-8 rolled along side Poe, also beeping for Finn.
Poe was only slightly out of breath since he didn't run too far.
BB-8 just looked at Poe, letting out a disappointed few beeps.
"I know buddy. He's gonna get himself into some trouble…" Poe fretted for his friend.
