The sun was bright as the children raced outside of the hangar. Rey still looked around cautiously as the padawans scattered amongst the grass.

The planet Nakadia was located in the Mid Rim. It was an agricultural planet that had once been the Capital location of the New Republic for one year cycle.

Prior to their retreat from Crait, General Leia Organa had received a message from a longtime ally, Mon Mothma, about a secret underground base that lie beneath the old Senate house in the city of Quarrow. The Resistance cautiously refueled and gathered supplies before making the trip to Nakadia. They had been here ever since.

After so many years in the sun, Rey found herself preferring to stay indoors. She felt safe in the bunkers. They were out of sight from the First Order. And for a long time, that was all that mattered.

"Hey Rey!" called a familiar voice. She turned to see Rose Tico heading towards her. She peeled off a pair of dirt covered gloves and gave her friend a hug.

"Nice to see you out and about." Rose said to Rey, giving her a smile. She glanced over her shoulder.

"Finn and I are harvesting the flax seed today." She said to Rey. Rey looked over and saw Finn wave to her, a handful of plant leaves and roots in his other hand. She waved back.

Rose waved to the padawans and some came racing over to her. Rose gave Temiri a big hug and Louie a kiss on the forehead. Enzo hurried over and he got a kiss as well.

"Miss Rey let us lift the Falcon with our powers this morning." Temiri told Rose.

"Did she now?" Rose asked.

"It was great! We got to wake Chewy up!" Louie chimed in. Rose laughed.

"I'm sure he didn't appreciate that." Rose said. The boys shook their head.

"Nope!" Louie laughed in reply. The boys waved to Finn and raced off again to join the other padawans.

"They're getting so big." Rose sighed as she watched the kids join in on a game of tag.

"Don't remind me." Rey said, sighing.

"I remember when I first met Temiri, back in the stables on Canto Bight. And now look at him. He's almost a teenager."

"That's what kids do." Finn said, coming over and leaning an elbow on Rose's shoulder. She playfully brushed his arm off and he instead wrapped it around her waist. "They grow up."

Finn nodded his chin at Rey.

"You see Poe this morning?" He asked her.

"I did. Briefly." Rey answered. "Still nothing."

Finn nodded his head.

"Good." He said. "Hopefully Wexley comes back with a helpful report."

Rey nodded as well. Finn gave Rey a quick hug before retreating back into one of the many gardens that surrounded the Senate grounds.

The Resistance had taken advantage of the unique soil found on Nakadia and grew their own crops. To a stranger visiting the Quarrow for the first time, the Senate house looked like a regal farm. The perfect ruse for the classified operations that ran below.
