XIII Merry Christmas
"Let's go!"
"I'm busy, Aelin,"
"We said we'd go,"
"We are, just not yet,"
"You're putting it off! Fine, finish whatever you're doing and meet me there,"
"No!" But I was already out of the room.
"Hey, Poe," Poe grinned at me.
"It's good to see you,"
"You too," he pulled me into a hug. "Ow! Ow! Sorry,"
"Oh right your rib, sorry,"
"No it's fine,"
"How'd you do it?" We walked towards the rebel base.
"I was fixing a ship... and it blew up,"
"Wow, fixing it?"
"Fine! I was modding it," I punched him lightly on the arm.
"Why?"
"Because it was a weak ship!"
"You added guns?"
"No, I was patching it to make it stronger,"
"Huh. Where's Kylo Ren?"
"He said he was coming later,"
"Really?"
"Yeah He said he was busy and then I left so he would have to come,"
"Over-protective still?"
I nodded. It was then Poe noticed the bag I was carrying. "You brought gifts?"
"I figured that you guys wouldn't get much, so yeah."
"Aelin!"
"Oh, hi," It was my mum.
"I thought you might not show,"
"Yeah well I did,"
"Ohmygod Aelin! I thought I'd never see you again!" Rose ran up to me, apparently I wasn't completely hated "Poe told me you had a broken rib, what did you do?"
"Fixed a ship, idiot messed it up, fixed it again, more idiots messed it up, it blew up, got thrown across an unreasonably large room, cracked a rib,"
"Ooh, what ship?"
"Custom built transporter,"
"They cost a fortune!"
"It wasn't my fault,"
Leia decided looked around, "Where's Ben?"
"Coming, he said he was busy which means he wasn't going to come so I figured if I just left he would come,"
"What?" Rose was confused.
"He's a little over-protective," Poe cut in.
"So, uh, merry Christmas everyone!" There was the sound of a ship landing, and Ben walked in, "You're 23 minutes late,"
"Why do you insist on running off like- late?"
"Yes, if you look at your behaviour over the past few weeks, which includes stalking me, running after me and constantly asking where I'm going then you should have arrived 23 minutes ago,"
"How did you- never mind. I told you I was busy,"
"You need a day off,"
"No I don't,"
