"We both want the same thing." Kylo Ren's voice is deep from the dark mask he wears. I'm dreaming, but this time it's different. Kylo has come into my dream, I know it's not just my imagination, but that it's truly him. I want him to take off his mask. With it on I can't see his thoughts, can't use the Force on his mind. He throws me a rock and as I catch it, I wake.
"BB-8?" I sit up, looking around frantically. BB-8 is still beside me, in the co-pilot's chair. "How long did I sleep?" I look down at the flight console in front of me. How did I fall asleep while flying a stolen fighter plane?
"6.2 minutes," BB-8 says in a few quick beeps. the tiny spaceship is still on course. My right hand is balled up in a fist and I open it slowly, half expecting to find a rock in my hand, but it's empty.
"BB-8, what planet are Kuiperite rocks found on?"
"Yavin 4."
I search the star maps in the ship's system for co-ordinates to Yavin 4, then set the flight destination into the console. The ship drops and turns left. I increase our speed and before long I know we're heading in a Beeline for Kylo Ren.
"We want the same thing," he said in my dream. Did he mean Luke Skywalker? Or did he mean we both want to stop Snoke and Hux? Either way I will get to Luke Skywalker with Kylo's help, I know I will. And desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
The trip is relatively short, for space travel, and I get more and more anxious by the minute as we near Kylo Ren. I can feel his presence stronger and stronger, and I wonder how much I can take once I actually reach him. I try to distract myself by talking with BB-8. This seems like a good time to tell her all that has been going on with me. I know she's aware that my thoughts have been preoccupied ever since my battle with Kylo Ren on Starkiller Base.
I tell her everything, about my dreams and the connection that I feel with Kylo.
She listens intently then says "It's better to go face him, than run from him all your life."
"Oh BB-8, what would I ever do without you?" I lean over and give my little robot friend a hug. It's time to face my fears,...my desires? Whatever it is I'm about to face, I'm glad BB-8 will be by my side.
The ship slows and I know we've arrived. The automatic pilot turns off so I can take over the controls. We've entered Yavin 4's atmosphere and we're ready to find a place to land...
