Rey doesn't know what happened exactly, but one minute Rey was learning new meditative techniques from Luke's Force ghost and the next she woke surrounded by three people. Her first instinct was to fight, but something inside her told her not to. She noticed that the three people were Jedi, so she figured she was safe. She saw that the Jedi consisted of one togruta female and two human males. One dark blonde and one red-head. "Are you all right?" came the voice of the dark blonde haired Jedi.
"Yes. Yes, I-I am. I think so. What's going on? Where are we?" Rey rambled, as she sat up hurriedly. The blonde-haired Jedi gently rested one hand on her shoulder and the other in the crook of her neck. "Shh. Calm down. Your safe here. My name is Anakin Skywalker, and you are?" Anakin said. Rey nearly fainted. The Anakin Skywalker? Luke Skywalker's father and the legendary Sith lord... Darth Vader?!?! He is the one that destroyed the Jedi, but he's so cute. Whoa! Where did that come from? "I-I'm Rey and believe it or not I am from the future!" Rey answered.
Anakin burst out laughing, "Yeah. Sure, and I am a Sith lord!" At that Rey nervously chuckled. "Well, now that you mention it..." She trailed off. Anakin stopped laughing and arched an eyebrow. "Wait. Are you serious? I am a Sith lord in the future?" He asked. She nodded in affirmation.
"That can't be possible, it isn't in his character!" Ahsoka defended Anakin. "I agree. My padawan wouldn't betray the Jedi," Obi-Wan agreed. "Alright if you're from the future, tell me something that no one else knows?" Anakin questioned.
Rey realized that there were some things that she had to keep hidden from Anakin and the people living in the past. So, she quickly said, "Just kidding about the whole "You're a Sith lord" thing, but I really am from the future. And to prove it, everyone in the future knows that your wife is Padmé Amidala." They all stood amazed at everything Rey said to them. Then Obi-Wan came back to reality, "Wait. Padmé is your wife? Oh, wait. I already knew that." "This is getting interesting," Ahsoka said curiously. "What? How'd you know? I mean, I've been discreet," Anakin stated. "I don't know you, but you seem about as discreet as the Sith are good!" Rey laughed.
Anakin suddenly glared at Rey, who then stood her ground. They continued their silent battle of wills until Anakin's eyes softened. "This is strange, Obi-Wan. First, we come to the right coordinates and Rex says he's here, but he isn't here, then this girl shows up out of nowhere," Anakin sighed grimly.
"Hello, I'm Anakin's master, Obi-Wan Kenobi!" Obi-Wan said to Rey. "I am Ahsoka Tano!" The togruta introduced herself. Rey smiled, "Nice to meet you!" "Got a last name, kid?" Anakin asked. "If I do, then I don't remember it. My family left when I was a little girl. Left me on the sandy world of Jakku and never came back even though they promised," Rey said sadly.
At this, Anakin snarled again. "Do you know why?" He asked. She exhaled deeply and said, "According to my source, they sold me for drinking money." "Well, it seems as though the future is quite the living hell!" Obi-Wan sighed. "You don't know the half of it," Rey chuckled lightheartedly. "Then, enlighten us?" Anakin asked. There was silence for a moment until Rey began her explanation of the future. "Well, in the future all of you are dead, save for Ahsoka. You all were destroyed at the hands of the Sith," Rey explained. "What?" Obi-Wan and Anakin said in unison. Ahsoka snickered.
Suddenly the ship powered down. "Not good," Obi-Wan said. "Everything's dead, even the life support," Ahsoka sighed. Rey looked a little worried. "This is really strange," Anakin stated. When he said that, the power came back on.
Obi-Wan's reply was, "There. See? Nothing to be concerned about after all." Rey scoffed, "Funny thing is, it's that attitude that will come back to bite you!" Anakin snickered and Ahsoka gasped.
"Do you speak to your master that way?" Obi-Wan asked. "No, but if I did, he probably wouldn't mind. Besides, he was trained by a someone who was prone to sassing their mentors and superiors. Maybe it's rubbing off on me, don't you think?" Rey shot back.
Ahsoka and Anakin were laughing when something caught Ahsoka's eye, "Master, what's that?" Suddenly they saw a planet that seemed to be pulling them towards it. "It's pulling us towards it," Ahsoka said. "Yeah. We noticed!" Rey groaned. The closer they got to the planet, the brighter it became. "Everyone strap yourselves in. Looks as though we're going for a ride," Obi-Wan ordered. The girls immediately strapped themselves into a chair quickly. The light grew brighter and brighter until they blacked out.
Anakin was the first to wake up. "Ugh! I must've blacked out," he groaned. "Then who landed the shuttle?" Obi-Wan asked, when he came, too. Ahsoka groaned, "Not me." Anakin realized that he hadn't seen or heard Rey. Hey, maybe that meant that her coming aboard was all a dream. Then he heard her behind Obi-Wan sighing sleepily. Anakin turned towards her and smiled fondly. Then he remembered something important. "Mm. Where are we?" he asked.
Rey finally woke up to the sound of his voice. "Wish I knew," she sighed. "We're on some kind of organic mass. All of our readings indicate that it's bigger than an asteroid, but at least the atmosphere is breathable," Ahsoka informed the group. "Well, this is getting more unusual by the minute. I can't even lock down where in the galaxy we are... or if we're even in our own galaxy," Obi-Wan commented.
"Well, the ship's systems seem fine, but for whatever reason, nothing's working," Anakin added on. "Does anyone else feel how strong the Force is here?" Rey asked warily. Ahsoka walked out of the cockpit and the others followed her until they were all off the ship. "Hey, I saw something. Up on the hill," Ahsoka said. Obi-Wan, however, couldn't see anything and even said as much. They all looked out over the landscape and beheld its beauty. "Wow! It's so beautiful," Rey gasped.
"Are you the One?" came a woman's echoing voice. "Huh. What?" Anakin looked around to see who said that. "Guys, did you hear that?" Anakin asked the others. "I didn't hear anything," Obi-Wan stated. "Are you the One?" came the woman's voice again. This time, Anakin turned around to see who was saying that. When he turned around, he saw a woman with ivory skin and teal colored hair. "Ahsoka, you see her, too, right?" Rey asked. Ahsoka nodded her head violently. "Hello," Obi-Wan greeted curiously. "Who are you?" Anakin questioned.
"I am Daughter," she said, "but are you the One?" Anakin looked confused, "Uh, the One what?" "I will take you to him," the Daughter said, ignoring Anakin's earlier question. "Him who?" Ahsoka and Rey asked in unison. Realizing that they weren't going to get anywhere with these vague questions, Obi-Wan took a more direct approach, "Did you bring us here?" "Only he can help you. There is little time. Follow me. We must have shelter by nightfall," the Daughter said. As the Daughter walked away, Anakin arched his eyebrow. "We thought that the planet was strange. How about this one?" Anakin snickered.
"We'll be fine as long as we stay together," Obi-Wan sighed. "I hope you're right about that, Master Kenobi," Rey said following after the Daughter. Anakin and the others followed after her, as well.
