Disrupted Future (Kylo Ren/Ben Solo x Original Character)

First Sight

Notes1: Lots of references to the books: Leia Princess of Alderaan and Bloodline; lots of made-up things too. For those who haven't read either book, here comes a little history class: Leia underwent Senator training when she was a teenager (LPOA) and is an elected Senator of the Alderaanian people (who live scattered around the Galaxy, in different planets, and in a space station – built from the remains of the first Death Star – on the same spot the planet once was).

Also, Ben was born in Hanna City, on Chandrilla, so I assume Leia lives there (although it's known on the Bloodline book that she also has an apartment in Hosnian Prime – where the Galatic Senate is/was).

For reference, at the beginning if this story, Ben is 17 (he was born in 5 ABY); Sara is one year younger than him.

All the things I don't know, I check Wookieepedia and try to be as Canon as possible (but I use Legends information too).

Whatever you recognize is not mine.

Enjoy!

Dinner party

Ben Solo, 17, hated those dinner parties. In those moments, he thanked his Force abilities, otherwise he'd be forced to accompany his mother to the many boring events she had to go to, and he'd probably have to succeed her as Senator of Alderan too. He didn't love the idea of becoming a Jedi either, but that was the lesser of two evils.

He looked around the large formal dining room of his home; it wasn't full, only about a dozen people had been invited, his mother had organized that dinner for she was planning on leaving her political career in a few years, therefore a new Senator would have to be elected by the people. There were three teenagers interested in becoming the next elected Senator of the Alderanians, so his mother had invited them, and their families, to a small gathering so that she could get to know the future candidates a little. Ben looked around the dining room, paying attention to the different energies in there: happiness, nervousness, pride, greed; but as he analyzed those feelings, he felt an interesting energy, subtly beckoning him, he frowned and looked for its owner. Then his eyes met the blue eyes of a curly haired teenage girl, who seemed to be a bit younger than him. She smiled and shyly waved, he waved back – she looked as bored as him. Two other teenagers, a girl and a boy, approached her and Ben walked closer to hear them talking.

"Isn't this exciting?" exclaimed the girl with very dark hair, Anne Alda was her name, "We are guests at the Queen's home!"

"My parents were really excited when we got the invitations." said the boy, whose name was Jon Walt. "I hope we get to speak to her alone."

"Yes." added Anne. "It's no secret she doesn't agree with the Centrists ideas; we must try to make her see the advantages of having a more unified government across the Galaxy."

Ben saw the blue-eyed girl furrow her eyebrows at those words, not saying anything.

"Don't you agree, Sara?" asked Jon. "The Populists must give up; their projects are slow when it comes to solving small planets' issues."

"No, I don't agree with you." politely answered Sara. "But I respect your opinion." she didn't try to continue the conversation, her eyes roaming around the room.

"What? How can you not see the brilliance that is the Centrists' main goal?" insisted Jon.

"We've already had many of these conversations, guys." Sara sounded annoyed. "And we have all sat on the same history class where we learned that the Empire arose after a centralization of power."
