BOOK THREE: FINALE
Rey and Ben are together at last- away from the First Order, away from the Resistance. They train as equals now, learning the ways of the Force together, as they fly across the stars in their ship the Interceptor. Ben swore he wou...
"Mom once told me Anakin loved to build things," Ben said, pushing open the door to a room she had not yet explored. "He built Threepio when he was only nine, back on Tatooine. After he lost the battle with Obi-Wan, he learned to repair his suit here." The room was a workshop, filled with spare parts. Rey noticed Imperial parts as well as Republicans odds and ends. There were long rolls of wire, disassembled droid pieces, and every kind of bolt, gear, wheel, and belt one could desire. Scattered everywhere were tools of all sizes, old but in near perfect condition. "It's beautiful," Rey said, her scavenger's eyes dazzling at such riches." "It's yours, if you'd like it." Rey spun around. "Oh Ben, really?" "I was never very good at fiddling with things, but I figured you'd be happy here. There's plenty of pieces you can build your lightsaber with too."

"Thank you!" Rey said, hugging him. He was warm and strong as he wrapped his arms back around her. He smelled like spice and Wookiee fur. "You're welcome," he smiled. They separated, but Ben still held onto her hand. "I have something to show you." He led her to the back of the workshop next to a tall wooden bookcase mostly filled with tools. "My staff! The Jedi texts! Ben how did you...?" "Ach-To," he said. "After the Resistance picked you up I went back to your hut to make sure no Stormtroopers had messed with it. I found your things and figured if I didn't take them, the First Order would. I kept them here in case you wanted them back." "Thank you so much Ben, these do mean a lot to me." "Maybe we could try to decipher the texts together," Ben said nonchalantly. "You know, try to learn the way the Jedi were taught." Rey smiled. She knew her boy simply couldn't resist the call to the light. It was in his blood. "It would be my pleasure."
