POE'S POV
        That was the girl that took care of my droid. The same girl who turned out to be an all-star pilot turned Jedi for the Resistance. I'd decided I'd  better introduce myself. After all, the two best pilots of the Resistance should be friends, or at least aquainted, considering we'd probably be working together to rebuild.
I sauntered over to her, hoping not to embarrass myself in front of a living legend.

"Uh, hi," I stammered.

Rey looked up to meet my eyes, and slowly stood.

"I'm Poe," I continued, extending my hand to her. I'm sweating. God I hope she doesn't notice. She totally noticed. I panicked.

She hesitated for a second, before accepting my hand, and shaking it.

"I'm Rey," she said sheepishly.

The fact that she thought she had to introduce herself was strangely comforting. It was as if she didn't know who she was.

"I know."

So corny. Why can't I think before I open my big mouth. Was that too much? She seemed to be studying me, as if she was  confused as to why I was utterly baffled at the girl in front of me. I was really just trying to contain my excitement, considering I was a few feet away from one of the heros of this Resistance.
"Dameron!" I heard General Leia calling for me.
Our hands fell.
"Duty calls."
She smiled warmly and sat back down to tend to BB-8. Why was I letting her take care of my droid for me? That should've been my job.
