XII An Invitation
2 Weeks Later
"We have a rebel X-wing incoming, headed for the docking bay,"
"Don't shoot," I saw the X-wing, it was black and orange.
"Why not?" Hux steppes forward.
"It's Poe Dameron, if he was going to attack stuff would already be exploding, he's here to give a message. Establish comms,"
"Yes ma'am." He presses some buttons on a co tell panel. "X-wing fighter 001 state your business,"
A crackly voice came through the speakers, "My name is Poe Dameron and I have come to deliver a message for Aelin and Ben Solo, are they there?" I leaned over and spoke into the microphone.
"I'm here," I turned to the man controlling the comms, "Can you get it just through that headset, he nodded and pushed a few buttons passing me a wireless headset. "Poe?"
"Yeah... is everyone in the First Order hearing this?"
I walked over to the window and looked at his ship, "No, but you should know that this is being recorded,"
"Yeah I figured," I waved at him.
"So, what's your message?"
"The General wants to invite you over for Christmas,"
"What?!"
"You and Ben, at the resistance base for Christmas,"
"Poe that's tomorrow and you have to be kidding me. What's the real message?"
"That is the real message,"
"Really?"
"Yes,"
"Um okay... you are being serious?"
Poe laughed "Yes,"
"And I'm not gonna get shot, I mean I already have a broken rib so I'd like to avoid that," He laughed more.
"You're not going to get shot,"
"So, you're deadly serious?"
"Yes!"
"Okay... I believe you, one sec," I turned around. "BEN!" Ben, who had just entered the room looked up.
"What?"
"Poe says that Leia said she wanted us to go to the resistance base for Christmas,"
"What?"
"He's deadly serious,"
"We're not going,"
"Why not?"
"Because you have a broken rib,"
"That's a stupid excuse, it's almost healed. We're going,"
"No, we're not,"
"Yes, we are,"
"No, we're not,"
"But it'd be rude not to,"
"You might get shot,"
"You too,"
"I have the Force, I'm not getting shot,"
"Poe says we won't get shot. Wait a sec, Poe?"
"Yeah?"
"Are we gonna get blown up or taken hostage or anything because that would really suck. And my rib might break again, that was painful,"
"Of course not! It's Christmas, right? No fighting on Christmas,"
"Hm, okay."
"What did he say?" Ben looked at me.
"He said that there is no fighting on Christmas,"
"Right,"
"So, we're going!"
"No,"
"Yes,"
"No,"
"No,"
"Yes,"
"Yay!"
"You tricked me!"
"Okay Poe we'll be there tomorrow!"
"No!"
"Okay, is 11 good with you?"
"Yep, bye!"
"Bye," The comms shut off. Poe left.
"I can't believe you!"
"It'll be good for you. I'll be back in 4 hours, bye guys!"
"What? Aelin! Where are you-" I left the room.
