Ben's POV
I open the door to our room for Rey and she walks into the dark, unlite room.

"Ow." I hear her say then a loud thump. "Maker, turn on a light damn it Ben."

I flip the switch lighting up the chandler and see Rey on the floor next to a couch. "Thanks." She scoffs.

"Hey, I didn't push you or put the couch there." She raises her hand for help and I walk over pulling her up off the floor. "You okay love?"

"I stubbed my foot, but I'll live." She walks down the hall and disappears. I walk to the office and sit at the desk in the swirl chair. I hear a knock at the front door and stand. I head over and open it to see a resistance person of some sort there.

"Umm yes?"

"Ben Solo?"

"Yes?"

"General Organa would like a word with you. Follow me." I step out and follow the woman down the hallway. The dinning hall is closing and the moon shines through the windows.

We approach my mother's office and she knocks for me. "Ben, come in." I hear her say.

"Hello." I say stepping in. "What's the matter?" I ask sitting down in front of her.

"I saw something in you today after I overheard you say something."

"If this is about Finn mom, I swear I'm trying to control my anger. Rey is helping me so much just by being here and I know I can do better mom please..." She holds up her hand.

"Don't apologize." She stands and walks over to a cabinet and pulls out an old jacket vest. "This is for you." She hands it to me.

I hold it up and know who it belongs too. "Mom I can't..."

"Ben." She cuts me off. "I saw your father in you today." She smiles. "He would have been proud with your actions as well." I look down at his jacket in my hands.

"I miss him mom, everyday."

"I know son." We both stand and I engulf her in a hug.

"Thank you." I whisper. "What did you overhear today?" I ask pulling away to look at her.

She chuckles. "When you and Chewbecca were laughing you sounded like your father, so I peeked out and when you called him 'fuzzball', I remembered your father calling him that." She smiles. "Ben I know you wanted to be like your grandfather..."

"Mom.." I try to cut in.

"And that's who you are a like." I look away from her and she cups my cheek. "Your grandfather was powerful, passionate, and a brave warrior. He was protective of his family and had trouble letting things go... Chewbecca told me how protective you were of the Falcon today and how you protected him and Captain Phasma." I look over at her. "I know you and Rey are together."

I smile. "I couldn't seem to let her go. I always chase her." I smile wider to myself thinking of Rey.

"Did you know your grandfather also returned to the light?"

"What?" I stare at my mom.

"Yes, he returned to the light. Just like you did... You can do anything you set your mind to Ben. Just like your grandfather and dad." She grabs the jacket in my hand. "He would of wanted you to have this."

"Thank you mom." I smile and hug her again.

"You're welcome. Now I expect to see you at the ball."

"I won't miss it. Plus I already have a date." I grin at her and she returns one.

Rey's POV
I hear Ben leave as I'm putting my  shoes away and begin unloading the box into our new closet, that's already stocked with clothes. I pull my hair back and into a simple bun. There's a knock on the door and I walk over peeking through the peep hole. I see Finn standing there nervously.

I open the door. "Hey Finn."

"Hey Rey." He sounds relieved that it's me. "Can we talk?"

"Yeah." I step out and close the door. "What's up?" I shift and feel my lightsaber on my pants still.

"I wanted to apologize for my actions and behavior. I remember when I decided to leave the First Order, Poe trusted me right away and I was welcomed her with open arms. When you brought Kylo Ren back all I could think was that he was up to something, but I should of trusted you and your judgement. I'm sorry and I'm also sorry for handcuffing you and taking your saber. Thank you for apologizing, Finn, but you really should apologize to Ben as well."

He looks at his feet and shifts his weight. "I don't think he wants to talk to me... or have anything to do with me."

"Finn, he'll give you a second chance. All you have to do is ask."

"Ok, will he give me one?" He asks lifting his head.

"If you give him one, I'm sure he will."  I give him a small smile.

"How bout you? Can we start over new?"

"No, Finn. I'm sorry, but I can't forget and refuse to forget what has happened between us... Working together on Jakku to escape, fighting alongside with Han and Chewbecca, and you coming back for me." I smile and he smiles. I raise my arms and pull him into a hug. "I forgive you Finn."

"Thank you Rey." We contuine hugging and I close my eyes and enjoy the moment. I hear the familiar sound of boots echoing through the hallway.

"Rey?" I release Finn and see Ben standing there staring at me with something in his hand.

"Hey Ben, Finn would like to talk to you."

"Ummmm okay." He feels for his saber.

Relax, it's okay.

What if he attacks me?

He won't. Trust me.

Ben nods walking over and hands me an old jacket vest. I look at it then turn and head into the room.

I hang up the old jacket and place it on Ben's side of the closet. I pull out a silk blue nightgown, changing into it, then walking through the living room and to the balcony.

The moon is shining beautifully, playfully beaming off the soft waves of Naboo's ocean below. The wind kicks up a warm breeze and I enjoy the warmth and close my eyes taking in the scents and feel of Naboo.

I hear the door creak door and I hear Ben come in. I look over and he sits on the couch and removes his shoes. I look back to the water and see some kind of creature splashing below. I smile to myself. How is it the Resistance can live on a beautiful place like Naboo and the First Order takes over Hoth.

"Finn apologized." I hear Ben say. I turn and lean up against the railing facing him.

"He did to me as well."

"I don't trust him still."

"He's my best friend Ben. You don't have to trust him, just get along with him."

"So you trust the guy who stole your lightsaber and held it at my throat?"

"Ben he was only taking upper precautions."

"Yeah only precautions that involved killing us." He scoffs.

"Can you give him a chance please?"

"Rey he is a traitor in just about any and every way to me."

"So he left the First Order, you did too."

"Not like I had a choice."

I cross my arms. "You followed me Ben. You didn't have to come!"

"Well if I'm going to protect you and be there for you yes."

"I can handle myself." I quit leaning against the railing.

"Oh sure you can. You get your lightsaber easily taken from you, you're never are fully aware of your surrounding, and you trust people so easily!" He has his hands in tight fists.

"You're right, I do trust people to easily. Maybe I shouldn't." I look him up and down and pass him going back inside.

"Don't walk away from me Rey."

"Too late." He follows me down the hall and into the bedroom.

"Why are so stubborn? I'm trying to work things out? You know, trying to do better, so I can be your perfect guy."

I stop outside the bathroom door and turn. "Don't try and make me the bad guy, you're just defending yourself. You won't even listen to me."

"You're not listening to me." I recross my arms and stare at the floor. "So I'm the bad guy?"

"I didn't say that."

"Well you implied that." I bite the inside of my lip. I know I'm in the wrong now.

"Good night." I turn and stride into the bathroom slamming the door.

"Are you seriously going to sleep in the bathroom?" I know he's just outside the door.

Am I? No. I'm not going to be trapped up inside here. I open the door and slide pass him exiting the bedroom.

"Rey, come back here."

"No." I contuine. "You're right, I'm wrong, so let's forget it. You can or can't trust whoever, just like I can, okay?" I place my hand on the door out.

"Rey don't leave. I don't care if you're right or wrong. Stay." I look at him.

"What do you really think?"

"I think I am right and you just want me to chase after you right now."

I scoff at him. "You don't have to chase me. You don't have to look after me. I can take care of myself."

"No you can't."

"I did on Jakku for how many years?"

"That was different. Before you knew you had jedi powers."

"So I wasn't a Jedi, but a mere scavenger who took care of herself. Point proven even more."

"Your own weapon could be used to kill you and you get it taken so easily Rey! You never have your guard fully up and it's annoying!"

My jaw tightens with anger. "Sorry I annoy you. Make I should go." I open the door then look at him again. "Good night Kylo Ren."

I step out and walk down the hall. I knock on Poe's door and he doesn't anwser. I walk down to Phasma's and knock.

"Hey, what's up?" She says opening the door.

"Kylo and I got into an argument. Can I crash here?"

"Sure." She steps aside and I walk in. Her room is smaller and there's no balcony. She has a living room, bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. I sit on the couch. "So what was the fight about?"

"Well it started with him not trusting Finn and I'm fine with that then he judged me on trusting to easy, then contuined about how I never have my guard fully up and he called me annoying."

"Well maybe you do trust to easy and don't have your guard full up."

"I know, but he called me annoying."

"Yeah that was out of line."

"I just need some time away from him."

"Understandable." We sit in silence for a minute.

"Can I ask you something?" I ask changing the subject.

"Sure."

"What's your family like?"

"Well, they're the reason I joined the First Order."

"Really?" She nods. "Tell me more."

"Well my family used to abuse me and tell me how much of a disappoint I was. So I left home as a teen. I ran into Hux who was on a mission for someone named Snoke. He was trying to find people to join his army, so I did. His army was the First Order. Hux and I were close and he got me promoted to my position as Captain. He then convinced me to go home and see if my family was proud."

"Were they?"

"No." She looks down in her lap.

"Why not, that's a good thing."

"If I tell you why you won't judge?"

"I promise." I place a hand on hers. she takes a deep breath.

"I like girls Rey."

"Oh, I'm sorry about your family."

"I am too." She pauses. "Hux had them killed."
