Change My Mind

Chapter 5

It's been around a year since the events that happened, yet Ben was still active with the First Order. No one knew what he was up to and no one could figure it out.

The Resistance grew drastically. We were big again and that made me feel good that people were still on our side. Poe and I were doing well, also. Very well, actually. We've already promised to stay with each other for ever. We said that when the wars over, we'll get married, buy a beautiful house, and start a family... just like my vision two years ago. It's made me more determined to beat my brother... as I want to live a happy life with my lover... not a gruesome one full of war and despair...

I was currently sitting next to Finn at a table upon the Falcon, Chewie sitting across from us and Poe standing, watching us play Dejarik. Technically, holographic chess. We all stared at Chewie as he stared at the holograms.

"You ever gonna go?" I asked, leaning forward. Chewie glared over at me before back at the board.

"He can't beat us every time," Finn muttered.

"Apparently, he does."

"How does he do it?"

"This guy right here?" I asked, looking at Chewie, "It's because he cheats." He growled at me. "I'm kidding!"

"Come on. Take your turn."

"You're 250 years old..."

"You're taking forever..."

"That's cheating..." Finn and I were speaking at once, causing Poe to chuckle. There was an electric beeping sound and Chewie groaned before getting up.

"Don't worry!"

"We're not gonna turn it off," I said as he walked off.

"He's cheating," Finn said, standing up.

"Definitely." I turned off the game table and smiled at Poe before he followed me and Finn through the halls.

"Klaud, I hope you fixed that surge," Poe said, speaking to an alien in our hall. Then, we flew towards an icy looking mountain, Poe and I piloting.

"T-minus five," I said, pushing a couple buttons. We pulled in and the hatch above opened, revealing an alien person looking at us.

"Boolio, good to see you. You got something for us?" Finn asked.

"From a new ally! A spy in the First Order!"

"A spy? Who?"

"I don't know. Transfer the message! Get it to Leia, hurry!" Poe looked over and noticed tons of TIE Fighters headed our way.

"Finn, we're about to he cooked!" Poe exclaimed.

"We're almost there! Zebediah, we got it!" I then pulled down a level and we took off, the TIE Fighters following us, blasting but missing. I bumped into the wall and Chewie growled at me.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I know!" Finn got in gunner, attempting shooting off the TIE Fighters as Poe and I flew, but he was failing miserably.

"Finn, you're supposed to be getting rid of those things!" Poe said as I focused on flying.

"Got one!"

"How many are left?"

"Too many." Chewie then grunted as Poe turned to push a button. "What?" I looked at Chewie as he continued grunting, pointing out the window. I looked out and grinned. "Good thinking, Chewie... Finn, we can boulder these TIEs!"

"I was just thinking that." I then flipped the Falcon upside down giving Finn the opportunity to shoot a giant beam above. We then flew through and the beam fell, crushing a lot of the TIE Fighters. "Ha! Get us back to base!" Finn said as I flipped the Falcon back to normal, yet we were now headed straight towards a bunch more TIE Fighters.
