Ben and I lay side by side in the field, looking up at the starry sky. There was so much of the galaxy to be explored, and we had only seen the smallest fraction of it.

"Rey..." Ben whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for everything you've done for me. I deserve none of it."

I turned to look at him, and he turned to look at me.

"Kylo Ren didn't deserve any of it. Ben Solo does."

Ben sighed. "I don't know what I'm going to do."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that it won't usually be this easy. The Resistance. The First Order. They still exist. The galaxy is still at war. Kylo Ren can't just disappear."

"Ben..." I said, "He needs to."

"Huh?"

"You will be the one who shifts the tide. I still believe that." I turned my head up and pointed to the sky. "The stars are so beautiful. You won't be the one to drain their light."

Ben layed his head on my chest. "You're more beautiful than the stars."

Before I could even take in his comment, something dawned on me.

"Hey... Ben?"

"Hmm??"

"When did your mother say to be back at the base, again?"

Ben cursed under his breath as we both sprung up.

"Grab your disguise," I said. "We're late."
