Ben's POV- I put on my dress uniform, which consisted of a black top pants and boots, with red embellishments. and ran a comb through my hair, trying to get all the tangles out. I pulled on my boots and stood in front of the mirror. An- basically Kylo's outfit, except everything's black, and then embellished with red.

I'm so excited to see her I can barely think. I'm sure she looks stunning. I check the time. Only a few more minutes till 8:00. Then I can see her and take her to the ball with me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As the clock hits 8:00 I go Into the hallway hurriedly and knock on her front door. Plasma answers and tells me to sit down at the table. I do, and Rey comes out of her closet looking absolutely stunning. Her hair is done up around her head in a mass of braids weaved intricately through each other with a purple flower pinned at the side of her head. Her dress is the same color as the flower in her hair, and it shimmers as she walks. There's cutouts in the sides of the dress and a plunging neckline that makes the dress even more stunning. Her makeup is soft, but bold, and she looks fierce and graceful at the same time. I can feel my jaw drop as I look at her, but I'm not ashamed. She looks utterly jaw dropping tonight, so it's fitting. "Rey, you look so beautiful my words fail me." I say still staring. I can't take my eyes off her, for fear it's all a dream and I'll wake up sad and alone again. "Oh thank you Ben!" She says a smile gracing her face. "You look very handsome." Rey says a blush forming on her perfect cheeks. "Shall we?" I say standing up and extending my elbow for her to hold. She takes ahold of me and we start to head out the door, calling our thank you's to Plasma for all her help. As we arrive at the ballroom I can see Rey's eyes light up as she takes in its beauty. I'm sure I look the same way, but I'm not looking at the ceilings, I'm looking at her.
Rey's POV- As Ben leads me into the ballroom I am shocked at its beauty. It's large, and the walls are made of glass, so we're surrounded by stars. There's soft music playing and there's hundreds upon hundreds of finely dressed people dancing and talking. I look over at Ben, and see that he's been staring at me. He knows I caught him, so he says with a smile, "May I have this dance?" "Of course Ben." I say smiling back. He takes my hand and leads the center of the room, where he places one hand on my waist, and the other on my shoulder, and I do the same, so we are a waltzing position. As we start to glide and sway, I feel people's eyes on us, and I'm positive it's because of my scars. I lean forward as we waltz and whisper in his ear, "People are staring. Do you think it's because of my scars? Their red and scabbed, and ugly. Be honest. Is that why they stare?" "Rey no! I'm being totally honest when I say their probably wondering how a anti social guy like me got a girl as stunning as you to go as my date!" I smile at him. He always knows how to make me feel better. "Thank you Ben." I say, and I smile and we continue to waltz. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You are the most stunning girl her madam! Kylo Ren here is very lucky to have you as his girlfriend."A little old senator tells me, his smile making me laugh a little. "Oh thank you, but I'm not actually Kylo's girlfriend." I say, wondering why a part of me is sad as I say those words. "Well Kylo will have to do something about that won't he? It was nice talking with you, but I really must get back to my wife." He says with a wink before waltzing away.
It's late now and everyone is heading back to their rooms for the night. I'm sorry it's done. "I'm sad it's over, but it was funny how everyone thought I was your girlfriend!" I say to Ben as we walk down the hall back to our rooms. "Yeah.." He says with a nervous chuckle while rubbing the back of his neck. Oh wow he's cute when he does that. Do I love him? Do I want to be his girlfriend? I- I think I might..... "I'm not saying I minded it or anything..." I try to be cool but it's my turn to feel embarrassed. Ben's face explodes with a million questions as I say those words, and I see the shock in his eyes. Then his face changes to nervous suddenly. He takes my hands in his and presses them to his chest. "Rey, I love you. I want to be with you. Please say you feel the same about me. Will you be my girlfriend?" There's hope in his eyes.
