Arrival
Rey's POV
I wake wrapped up in Ben's arms under the blankets. I can sense he's awake and I remember yesterday afternoon how he taught me how to use our force bond to share emotions. I close my eyes and focus on the touch of Ben's arms and my foot resting against his warm skin. How I can slightly feel his breathing on my neck and it's kind of slowly turning me on. I smile and imagine my feels as a ball of energy and push that into him.
Ben doesn't move or say anything. I begin to wonder if I was successful or not, then he pulls me back tightening his arms around me and puts a leg over mine.
"Ben, what are you..." He bites my neck soft yet roughly, and let's out a warm breath causing me to bite my lip. I'm officially turned on. I try to turn in his arms to kiss his lips, but his hold is just enough.
He kisses my neck and one of his arms moves and I feel his hand on my breast. I reach my arm back and find his hair. I grip it. "Is the door locked?" I ask. He let's me go and gets up. He walks out of the room without a word. I sit up, leaning against the headboard and pout.
He comes back in and crawls up the bed to me. I smile and he smirks as he opens my legs and pulls me on to him. My legs lock around his chest and he pushes me on against the headboard. "You know I can take whatever I want." He whispers in my ear. I giggle.
There's a loud knock at the door. He sighs and lays back on to bed with me on his chest. I roll off next to him and sigh loudly in reply. There's another loud knock. "Rey I know you're in there!" Yells a man, I think is Finn.
"What the..." I get up and fix my shirt. I walk to the door hearing Finn trying to open it. I open the door. "What Finn?"
"Poe can't find BB8."
"What? Let's go!" I had forgotten about BB8 since I came back. I'm a horrible friend. I dash out past Finn and spirit to Poe's room which has the door wide open. The room looks like it had been ransacked.
"Rey, I can't find BB8. He's been missing since yesterday evening."
"Ok Poe, calm down. We're going to find him. Have you talked to Leia?"
"No, why would she care about a missing droid?"
"It's worth a try."
"Yeah, maybe she's seen him." Finn chimes in.
"Okay, let's go." Poe strides passed us and out of the room. I follow Finn out into the hallway and I see Ben coming towards us. I extend my hand to him and he holds it. Finn glances at our hands then turns to contuine following. We jog slightly to catch up and turn down some hallways and up a flight of stairs. We come to a heavy metal door that doesn't blend at all and Poe enters a code that reveals a communication box. He hits the button and someone's voice comes over. "This is Samantha speaking, what can I do for you?"
"Hey it's Poe, I need to speak to the General about BB8."
"Umm..." Samantha hesitates. Then a cheerful beeping is heard.
"That's BB8." I say. Finn smiles and Poe looks worried.
The door opens to a room full of different screens and a few people. We walk in and BB8 rolls over to us and starts beeping away to Poe.
"Next time tell me before you disappear. I was so worried." BB8 beeps again. "It's okay Buddy and I missed you too." He beeps happily.
"Why is BB8 in here?" Finn whispers to Ben and I.
"I have no idea."
"Maybe mom needed his help with something."
Ben squeezes my hand and walks further into the room and I follow him.
"Yes, of course I can come."
I see Leia in a video call with an ewok and he looks angry, but that may just be his face. He says something to her and raises his stick.
The ewok battle cry can be heard behind him.
Leia chuckles softly. "Yes, we will defeat them again like last time." She smiles. "Is Wicket still around?" The ewok nods a reply and steps aside.
"Hello little friend." Leia greets the elderly ewok who smiles at her.
"I'm glad to see the communication station we left for you is fully operational. I'm even more glad to here that our alliance is still strong after all these years."
Wicket says something and nods. Leia nods back. "I'll see you soon." The screen shuts off and she turns around spotting us.
"You're going to Endor?" Ben asks.
"No, weren't going to Endor. As in a few days the Resistance is going to Endor where the First Order is threatening to attack unless they allow a base to be built there."
"No offense, but what do ewoks have against the First Order?"
"They have an alliance with us. Allowing a base to be built there would break the alliance."
"Why can't we have the ewoks spy on them?"
"You really think they will keep ewoks around?" She raises her eyebrows. "No. They know what they are capable of all the last battle and this time they will be prepared... Which is why they need our help to fight back."
"So we're going to have training sessions and begin planning for battle right now?"
"No, after the ball, tomorrow morning I will announce that we will be going to battle."
"General Organa." A woman comes over, "I have located the Rebel review about Endor from the last battle as you requested."
"Thank you Samaya." Leia says at the woman who nods in return. "Follow me son, I need your help."
We follow Leia over to another woman in the room who is busy at a communication station with headphones on and is typing things down. Leia places a hand on her shoulder and the woman stops the message waves she's listening to and smiles over at us.
"Daniele at your service. What can I do for you?"
"Daniele this is my son Ben." Leia speaks and Ben sticks out his free hand. "Ben this is Daniele, our Communication Specialist."
She shakes his hand and holds it staring into his eyes.
"You called General?" I hadn't even realized that I had been staring at Daniele. I look down at my feet, why was I jealous? She's not the one holding his hand... or sleeping with him. I smile to myself and Ben squeeze my hand. I look up at him.
I love you. I tell him.
I love you more.
"Okay boys, you were both part of the First Order, so I was wondering if you could try your best to decode this message."
"Okay, that should be easy."
"Yeah, I'll tell you all I know, just like last time."
Ben glances over at Finn and his eyes narrow.
I nudge him. Quit it.

Rey's POV
I invited Phasma over to get ready and I was able to find a draw full of make up in the bathroom. Leia came over as well, basically inviting herself in and immediately shooing Ben to Poe's room.
He left giving me a quick kiss and grabbing the suit from the closet.
I showered then opened up the bathroom for Phasma and Leia to use. Leia was already dressed in a grassy light green lacey dress with rustic golden heels. She had her hair up in a braided crown around her head. She looked like an elegant part of nature as she gracefully gathered different items from around the room.
"Come here Rey." She said as she put the chair in front of the mirror. I walk over with my red dress and hang it near by. I sit in the chair and Leia begins brushing my wet hair back and out of my face, gently tugging out the tangled knots.
"Ben loves you, you know."
I smile. "I know and I love him."
"So I'm going to get straight to the point. Should I be expecting grandchildren soon?"
I laugh, "Umm. Well we aren't trying to have kids, but we haven't used protection." Leia nods.
"Do you want to marry my son?"
"Leia." I turn around to face her. "I love your son and I know you want him to stay in the light, but marrying him and starting a family, I don't believe is the solution."
She rests a hand on my cheek. "I just want him to be happy Rey."
"He is happy."
"Only when with you. I may not be a Jedi, but I can feel a disturbance in the force and I think it's from him."
"Oh Leia." I stand and hug her. "The force works in mysterious ways, you know that." I pull away. "I will do all in my power to keep your son from the Dark Side."
"Thank you Rey. You're a great woman and I wish you had a better life."
"I wouldn't change anything about my life. Everything happens for a reason Leia."
Leia smiles at me and pulls me in for another hug. "Okay, let's get you all done up."
I sit back down and her small, fragile hands go to work. Phasma awkwardly walks from the doorway where she just heard Leia and I'm conversation.
She walks up in the mirror and puts a chair next to me.
"I'm sorry Phasma I can't do much to your short hair." Leia tells her.
"Oh no, I was going to do my make up. I know there's no hope for my hair."
"There's always hope Phasma."
"No, because it can't get better than this." She quickly styles it from where it was combed back and looks at me. "See?"
I smile and nod. "I see." We laugh.
Ben's POV
I'm in my suit with my hair brushed. Waiting for Poe and BB8. Finn said he couldn't make it, but would meet us there.
"Little buddy you gotta pick one!" Poe shouts as the droid rolls out of Poe's room and up to me.
He beeps worried about which bow looks good. He has a white one, orange one, and a classic black bow.
"Can't go wrong with a classic black bow."
He beeps at me again.
"Sure thing." I remove the orange and the white ones. "Your intena's bent." He lowers his head and I pop it off, fixing it.
I place it back on and he beeps a question. "Yes, Rey will be there tonight." He beeps happily. I chuckle. "She'll be happy to see you too. She misses you." BB8 rolls over to the door and waits. "So I guess you're ready?" A plate opens and he lites a small flame. I chuckle and return a thumbs up.
I walk back to Poe's room. He's sitting on his bed. I place the two bowes on his desk. "Ready?"
"What if I don't get the chance to tell Finn how I feel tonight?"
"You will. Trust me." Poe smiles at me.
"I trust you." I offer him my hand and pull him. "Let's do this."
------------------------------------------------------
We're standing at the refreshments table near the back on the room. Poe is looking around nervously for Finn and BB8 is doing a little dance to the upbeat rhythm from the band, enjoying himself.
I glance around the elegant Ballroom lit by a huge chandler, candles, and the moonlight. I see Finn appear and nudge Poe. Poe takes a deep breath. "Wish me luck."
"You don't need it, but good luck." I hand him two drinks.
He smiles and accepts them. "Thanks Ben."
"Go on." I encourage him. He smiles wider and walks off. I watch him walk over to Finn and just as he reaches him the doors above the grand staircase open. No one has entered through those doors tonight.
Everyone looks up hearing the whine echo through as the band stops playing.
I see Leia push open both doors and Phasma comes into view. She looks like a woman for once and it's kind of strange. Looks like Rey found some light in her as well.
Leia and Phasma link arms and begin descending down the stairs and that's when she appears.
Rey.
I catch my breath and I'm speechless at her beauty.
Leia sees me and smiles then looks up at Rey who standing there looking almost lost. "Well let the party begin!" She announces and the band strikes up again with an elegant folk tune.
I watch Rey begin down the stairs and the people begin going back to the party. BB8 bumps me and I can't feel my legs, but my feet begin carrying me forward.
I notice Rey is wearing one of the formal dresses I selected for her. I knew she would look stunning in it, but she is breathe taking.
Her eyes meet mine and we both smile. Some how we are steps from each other and I hold my hand out to hers. "Rey you look..."
"We need to talk." Finn interrupts. Rey looks over at Finn who has a serious look on his face.
"Umm okay. Yeah, sure Finn." I withdraw my empty hand and nod at Finn.
"I'll see you soon Ben." Rey gives me an apologetic smile. Finn holds out his arm and Rey loops hers into his. I stand there and BB8 rolls up beside me as he leads her away.
Why isn't Finn with Poe?
