A big thank you to Alya_101 for requesting!

Part One

You watched intently as Poe closed his hand around the small leather sack. This was it- this was the map to Luke Skywalker.

"This will begin to make things right," Lor San Tekka declared. "I've travelled too far, and seen too much, to ignore the despair in the galaxy. Without the Jedi, there can be no balance in the Force."

"Well, because of you, now we have a chance. The General's been after this for a long time," Poe responded. He had those sparks of hope in his eyes with which you had fallen in love.

"'The General.' To me, she's royalty." Lor San Tekka gave you a grim, but respectful smile.

You dipped your head, a slight blush on your cheeks.

"Well, she certainly is that," Poe said as he gave your hand a small squeeze.

You jumped a little as BB-8 rolled into the tent, beeping frantically.

"We've got company," Poe translated.

You both exited the tent and raised your quadnoculars to your faces. You saw lights on the horizon- and approaching enemy ships. Panic welled in the bottom of your stomach.

"You have to hide," Poe said nervously.

Lor San Tekka returned the advice. "You have to leave. Go!"

Your quadnoculars fell to the ground as Poe yanked you by the hand. He guided you through the village to where he landed his ship upon arrival.

"Poe- my ship's on the other side of the village," you shouted over the noise of the villagers preparing to defend their home.

"Too far, no time!" He yelled back, pulling you further and further from your beloved X-Wing.

With a roar of wind and dust, the transports landed. You didn't have to look back to know Stormtroopers were pouring out of the ships, blasters raised to the village.

You ran around a rocky outcropping. Poe let go of your hand as he pointed to the droid socket. "Come on, BB-8! Hurry!"
Poe climbed into the cockpit and reached down a hand to help you. You took it gladly, settling yourself comfortably into his lap.

The controls came to life with a faint whirring sound. As the canopy closed, you and Poe shot a quick look back. Stormtroopers were closing in.

You helped Poe with the controls, urging his X-Wing to life. The landing lights came on, and the engine close behind them. The whole ship began to whine for takeoff-

You and Poe jolted forward. His X-Wing had been hit. Glancing out the back window, you both shared a look of disaster. Two stormtroopers were charging their way, and things were not looking good.

BB-8 beeped.

"I see 'em," Poe grunted. BB-8 continued to beep while Poe dropped down the ship's antipersonnel blaster and fired at the pair. Meanwhile, you tried to start the ship again, but the engines only sputtered out. You reopened the canopy and hopped out of the X-wing, Poe close behind you, a concerned look plastered across his handsome features.
