"What?!" I yelled.

The bazaar went silent. I blushed and pulled the lady along with me towards the ship.

"Let me go young man!" She said struggling against my grip.

As soon as we were far enough from the bazaar I turned around to face her.

"You said Rey?"

"Yes. Is there something wrong."

"You said you left her...here?"

"Yes, can you please tell me what's going on?"

"Are you sure her name was Rey and not Tey, Fey, Hey?"

"I think I know what I named my child."

"Right, of course...but are you sure?"

"Listen young man, I left my daughter here to protect her from dangers you will never know of. And now she's gone. Out there in a dangerous world. Innocent and helpless to what's out there."

I scoffed.

"What?!" She demanded.

"Your little girl is no longer innocent or helpless. She's actually one of the most dangerous people in the whole galaxy right now."

"Of course! My daughter is a notorious villain set on destroying the entire galaxy. I'm done with you and your jokes. I'll take my business elsewhere."

"Wait ma'am! Please!"

"What?!"

"Listen, your daughter Rey was a wonderful person. She was kind and was one of the people responsible for the First Order's dramatic fall. She even started to train to be a Jedi."

"My daughter? Did all that?"

"Well, not without my help."

"Are we talking about my daughter or you?"

"Right. Sorry. Long story short, some stuff happened and now your daughter is trying to kill a whole bunch of people for reasons unknown. She's a Sith and she's very powerful."

The woman held a hand to her heart.

"Luke foresaw this." She sobbed.

Luke?

"You knew Luke? Luke Skywalker?"

She nodded as tears fell from her face.

"I was supposed to hide her so that nothing bad would happen to her. To keep her away from the battle. He told me to leave her on a planet that has no government importance. And now, she's gone."

She sobbed. Without warning she hugged me tightly. BB-8 watched me curiously, probably wondering when I'd hug her back. So I did.

"Um...there, there. It's...okay?"

When she finally pulled back, she wiped her eyes.

"I just...I can't do anything right. I can't even find my son."

"Your son?"

"Yes, my son. I left him on Coruscant. Far away from Rey, so that he wouldn't be affected by her choices. But I was wrong. He should have gone with her. To be her judgement." She sank down to her knees and sobbed.

Coruscant? That's where I was from. I had always felt sort of left out because I didn't have an accent. I remember I had lived in an orphanage, until my irresistible adorableness got me a family, then they named me Poe Dameron. Even though I wasn't at the orphanage long, maybe I could've met her son.
