Just before i could get some shut eye, "Commander Dameron." 3PO calls. "Why is it whenever i find you, you are either sleeping or doing something incredibly stupid?"

Do i really need robotic sarcasm right now? "What is it, 3PO?" I ask.
"General Leia has an announcement to make."
I sigh and get up immediately and walk past the golden piece of pain. "Shes at the main room." 3PO adds. "Thanks, 3P0." I say and keep on walking to get away from him. "Wait for me. I cant walk like you humans." He shouts as i realise that i had walked a little too far away from him. Stopped so that he could keep up. A little. I do pity the idiot smart gold ass eventhough hes a droid.

"Chewbacca here has just informed Rey and I that the ship is out of fuel." I walked in at the exact moment when the general was telling us the bad news. The good news, well there isnt any. There never were any for a while. I see on the other side of the room Finn standing right next to Rey. I would look away if i didnt care so much.

"So to fuel up, we'd have to stop at the nearest planet, which right now is Cantonica." Just before the General could say the planet name which also situates Canto Bight, Finn walks my way looking dissapointed. Probably because thats the last place he was with Rose before she ended up in the state she is in right now. And also because i was the one who agreed with their plan to go find the codebreaker Maz Kanata told us to find to help with our being-tracked-by-hyper-jump-by-the-First-Order problem which ultimately turned to crap because it turns out the guy found out sold them out to help the First Order and get paid 'handsomely'.
In the process, Finn and Rose got captured and almost got excuted by Phasma's stormtrooper goons and almost killed whatever that was left of the Resistance. We lost alot people that day. I almost lost Finn. I wouldnt be living today if he wasnt alive. Or if Finn was in Rose's situation, i would be the one by his side. Taking turns would also be Rey and Rose which would make me jealous.
There i said it. Im jealous of when hes was with Rey and a little when he first met Rose. But i cant think of that right now. I got to go to him. Talk to him.

I catch up to him and say "Hey, you okay?"
"Yeah, im fine. I just dont really like Canto Bight. Its a bit of a 'loud' place." He said with his eyes tearing up. He did not want to tell me the real reason but i was not going to push him. I moved on with the conversation.
"Oh well, thats too bad because i was hoping you would show me around Canto Bight." I said hoping to get attention and it did.
"Why?" He said with a confused look so, then i said "Well, we are going to be there for at least day and nobody really wants to catch a break from this hell of a life so, i was thinking we could go somewhere in Canto Bight. Anywhere. Just us." After saying out loud, i realised how obvious i made it seem to want to be alone with him.
" I dont know, man" he said, stressed. "Come on. Its just us. Get away from all of this. Take a break. Youll be fine." Convincing him is harder than i thought would be.
"But Rose.." he said with his teary eyes again. "She'll be fine. I got 3P0 and BB-8 to take care of her. If anything changes, they will let us know and we will come straight back here." Still trying my best to convice him. "
"Youre leaving her life on the hands of two droids?" He said with a smile. Finally. "With two trust-worthy droids and the medical team we have in the Resistance." The only medical team in the Resistance. "You mean the only medical team in the Resistance." Damn it. He can read my mind. "But fine, if its just us." He demands. "No one else. Just us." I say with relief flows through my body.

YESSSS!! I did it.

"Pack a little, would you. I plan on staying in one of those fancy hotels." I say to him and he says "How are we going to afford that?" I totally did not think of that until i remebered "BB-8". "What about BB-8?" Finn asks. "I found some of the coins from your last trip there in himand they worth alot." It was as if somebody put them in him.

"Youre not going to save them for.... a rainy day, perhaps?" He has a point. Why would i want to use a really high currency just for nothing. I should just tell him half the truth. Half of anything doesnt hurt everyone. I hope. "Itll be worth it. Just trust me." And i do mean it. I hope he knows that.

"Okay." We nod at each other and he walks away. And so do i with a feeling in my chest that I have never had.
