*Poe POV*

Okay, I know I said it before, but this time I say it with force. There is something seriously wrong with Rey. Like seriously. She's actually apologizing and being nice to me. I mean, its nice and all, but in a way I sort of miss the old Rey. At least she was mature. I didn't even notice how childish we were before she was kidnapped. Now don't get me wrong. It's nice having her around without the "kill" written across her whole entire body, but this Rey...I guess it's because she was in love? I'm only guessing here.

"Do you think she's playing us?" Finn whispered to me.

Across the table Ben and Rey were in complete love mode. They wouldn't stop staring at each other. They weren't even eating. I honestly don't think this is a prank.

"No. Just look at her. I seriously don't even think that Darth Niksu could pull that off."

"It could be what Ben was doing when he knocked her unconscious."

"I don't think she'd be able to do that either. She'd have to think about not wanting to kill us the whole entire time. I'm not even sure that little green guy you told me about could do that."

"Yoda."

"Whatever."

Luke cleared his throat, knocking Ben and Rey out of their trance. They both blushed.

"Enjoying the food?" Luke asked.

"Sorry uncle." Ben replied, digging in to his food. But not before he gave Rey a wink.

This was just nauseating. Not even Finn and I were like that. I'm pretty sure at least.

"So are we just going to hide here for the rest of our lives?" Finn blurted out.

I kicked him under the table.

"Ouch! Sorry, I just wanted to know."

Luke laughed.

"Of course not Finn. I'm sure that just because the Resistance is no longer...available, doesn't mean there aren't others out there who wish for the First Order to be...eliminated." He explained.

Rey stood.

"Um...listen guys, I think it's best that I went back to the First Order...with Ben."

"See? I told you." Finn hissed.

"They still trust us I'm sure. If we can get there we might be able to destroy them from the inside."

Ben stood up as well.

"I think that's a great idea."

Rey smiled, then she frowned.

"Rey?"

She didn't say anything. Her face was blank. She stood as still as a statue. Ben waved his hand in front of her face.

"Hello? Rey?"

"What's wrong with her now?" I asked.

"She's not doing anything." He said, fidgeting with her.

"Is she...dead?"

"No she's not dead. She's still breathing. Rey?"

Then she finally did something. She blinked once. Twice. Then she screamed.

*Ben POV"

I jumped back, alarmed at her scream.

"Rey? Are you..."

"STEP BACK!"She said, even though she was backing away.

She tripped over a rock and landed with an "Oomph".
