The rumble of my small ships vibrates throughout my whole body. Finn is sitting in the back, fidgeting, again. Leia and Poe are already on Hoth, they sent a hologram a few minutes ago. Ben was preparing, he talked to me a few moments ago. Everything that we have planned and are about to do is playing in my head, all the details, the memos, the reminders, the signals, my head feels like it may explode, like it's on fire. Everything is going well so far, too well. I'm so used to things not working out, that maybe I can't deal with the thought that this plan could work.

"Three minutes 'till we come out of hyperdrive" Finn says sitting up taller as if his whole life has lead up to this. It's crazy when you think about his relationship to Ben, first he worked for him, then he hated him, he defected, tried to kill him, hated him again, and then became friends with him. I don't think we could classify this as a model friendship, but we can always reflect back on human perspective. The stars continue to blur together, until we exit hyper drive and I am faced with a planet I know all too well.

Finn must have sensed my nerves, for he places a hand on my shoulder, "There is nothing to worry about" He says. There is everything to worry about, one small mistake and I might never see Ben again.

"You're right," I say talking a huge breath, "Everything will be fine"

The ship falls silent as we enter Ach-To's atmosphere. We land on some rolling green hills, about a ten minute walk from where I'm supposed to meet Ben. As soon as our ship touches the grass, my heart starts to beat rapidly. I get up from the pilot's seat and move towards the door of the ship, waiting for them to open. Finn walks up behind me, and as soon as the bottom of the door touches the grass, I run.

"Rey wait up" Finn pants behind me, struggling to catch up. I stop, shocked that he was following me.

"You're supposed to be back at the ship" I say frustrated.

"No I'm supposed to come with you, that's what General Leia says to do anyway" He said. I sigh, I wanted to meet Ben alone.

"I just want to meet him alone ok? Plus we need someone ready at the ship in case we have to run" I say trying so hard to persuade him to stay with the ship instead of following me.

"Fine, plus I do not intend on watching you kiss for a hour" He says smiling as he turns around and walks back to the ship.

"Finn," I say, waiting for him to turn around, "Thank you" He smiles again and continues back to the ship. Now to meet Ben.

I get to the meeting point five minutes later, and I immediately call out to Ben using our bond. Closing my eyes, I concentrate on Ben, until I feel that familiar pull.

"Ben?" I ask

"Rey, where are you?" Ben replies within seconds.

"I'm waiting for you"

"I'm almost there, I'll see you soon"

"I can't wait" My tone overflowing with joy, and happiness.

"Five more minutes baby, that's all" he says, "Rey, don't forget to act like you hate me, you need to sell our situation"

"Don't you worry about that" I say as our bond fades away.

I gaze around the field that I was waiting in. The grass was so tall that is brushed against me knees. The trees surround me were swaying gently in the wind. The sky was a beautiful shade of royal blue, and the birds chirped the same tune over and over again. Everything here was so light, so calm, until Ben walked in. My heart started to beat faster and faster watching him approach to me with his dark suit and mask.
