A side story to the STAR WARS episode 8 and 9.
I was online searching for fan art of Phasma and came across a few pictures of Rey and Phasma, so I couldn't really help myself. I like these two as a couple so... I'm writing a fanfiction for them.

"Don't be scared. You don't have to be brave. Everyone feels fear. But it's what you do with it that matters my child. Most people run. Some people freeze up. But very few, they use it, and face what's in front of them."
Those are the words, her uncle told her when he taught her how to hunt and survive in the wilderness. In any environment. The world, the galaxy, it's not a fair place for anyone. We are but a mere nothing scattered in the vastness of space. To think that we are important as individuals, that is something that defines a human.
"Phasma, why do you matter?" He asks her with a gentle and kind smile. A tear in his eye when he was passing away from cancer.
"Because, uncle. Because I say so. Because I can feel it. Because I wish it. Because I demand it." Her voice trembles as she speaks holding his hand and looking deep into his eyes as he takes his last breath. A gentle smile graces his lips as he shuts his eyes. His hand goes limp as his spirit leaves and becomes one with the force. His last words are spoken, at this final moment, to her and her alone.
"You're a brave girl... Phasma. You've grown up. ... My life, it's now in your hands. You will carry my life within you. All the days of your life.... This is... the last I can give you... my little Phasma."
She buries her face in his chest as she releases all her emotions. He was the only person in her life that actually cared about her. The only one who asked her if she was hungry, or tired. He made sure that she had the life he never had. That she had the choices he never did. Through her, he was able to live a second time. And pass on all of his teachings.
Learning how to fight, how to stand her ground. Learning to actually matter. The fact that no one can label you. That no one has power over you. Not unless you give them that power. And she was going to exercise that power from now on.
"I promise to never forget you."
A sudden jolt shakes Phasma as she opens her eyes in shock, stirring her from her sleep. She looks around in shock and realizes that she's still with this desert girl on Jakku.
Looking at herself she can see that those restraints that Rey had put on her are no longer being used.
"It's about time. After that dream... no way was I going to let someone restrain me like an animal."
Slowly she stands up and takes a look around her. Wondering where her suit is. Not only that, but her blaster, spear, and rifle.
