The morning came quick. Birds were chirping and the light breeze rustled through the trees. The sun was partly shining behind the white as snow clouds providing some sunlight that shone through the trees.

Rey's eyes fluttered open and she sat up. Her whole body was sore from sleeping on a hard surface. The bottom of the little tent wasn't very thick. She looked over to see Finn sleeping peacefully. She didn't want to wake him.

Rey slowly got out of the tent and stretched. She let out a yawn as she grabbed her staff and went on a morning walk in the forest.

Finn awoke to find no Rey beside him. A few thoughts rushed through his mind as he tried to think about where she could be. Maybe she went out for a morning walk. Man, a walk sounded refreshing.

He sat up, starting to rub the back of his neck from the night before. Sleeping on the hard ground with a thin tent bottom below him wasn't all that comfortable.

He climbed out of the tent and yawned. Finn quietly walked away from the little camp being careful not to wake Luke, Leia, or Chewy.

Rey walked and looked around. She never knew a forest like this was so beautiful. She never saw any trees like this on Jakku.

Suddenly, she had the feeling that she was being watched or followed. She quickly spun around, staff in hand, to see Finn a few feet behind her.

"Woah, woah, woah. Don't hit me." Finn said lowering her staff.

Rey let him lower her staff as he walked closer to her. His eyes on hers.

"Good morning, love." He said making her blush.

Rey smiled at the nickname he called her. She wished he would call her that more.

"Morning." She replied as he leaned and pecked her lips making her blush harder.

"Are you blushing?" He asked holding in laughter.

"Maybe." She said blushing even more as he moved in a little closer.

"I think it's adorable that your cheeks are bright red. I love making you blush." He told her quickly picking her up bridal style.

Rey started laughing making Finn laugh too. Her laugh was so cute. She was so beautiful even when she was laughing or crying.

"Why are you laughing?" He asked.

"Your way of flirting is so cute." She said smiling.

"And your way of being beautiful is perfect."
He said back making her blush and smile.

"You are so good at flirting." She said playfully.

"I know." He said back right before he pressed his lips to hers.

Rey kissed him back as she put her arms around his neck while he slowly put her down, having his hands rest gently on her hips.

After a minute or two of that, they broke apart from their mini make out session.

"Should we head back or take a nice walk in the forest where we'll be alone." Rey asked.
