"I don't feel so comfortable about this" Rey said relaxing in her seat next to Ben on the ship.

"It's our destiny, your destiny. I promise I'll try to help you as much as I can with everything" Ben said reassuringly , he was concentrated on flying the ship.

Rey often wondered if there was no one else who wanted to rule, except for Ben, of course.

 It wasn't that she didn't want the best for the galaxy but suddenly the responsability she felt as a Jedi, the last one of two, intensified by having to answer to planets, to seek for their wellbeing, to reconstruct them.

"Don't be afraid. Breath" Ben took her hand to call her attention and offered a warm smile to her.

"I'm sorry" she sighed. As this new thing between them intensified, so their emotions, and Rey knew that if she felt conflicted that would only mirror inside Ben. She didn't want him to feel like that.

Slowly she felt calm, still some of her fears were there, buried deep, but there was more calm and light than before.

"Thank you" she whispered to him.

The trip to Naboo wasn't that long and when they landed a group of people gathered to greet them.

"Rey, Ben, thank you for coming." The Queen's representative said.

"Thank you for having us" Ben said.

"Please, follow me, the Queen is waiting for you"

The crowd said bye to them and handed them a few presents, giving them little representative things from Naboo, invitations and money, not that they needed any of it but it didn't make it less kind.

"Queen Zorya" Rey and Ben vowed.

The main room of the palace was huge, with tall ceilings and columns, there were many mirrors on the walls which reflected the sun in the sky and the green around them.

"Masters, it's a pleasure to have you in Naboo, I'll make sure you have the best attention and anything you need in hand" The Queen stepped down her throne and walked to them.

Her red and yellow gown trailed behind her and she seemed to float.

"In your message you asked for an urgent meeting with us your majesty, so here we are" Ben said.

"We're hoping to be useful" Rey added.

"Of course, and we will meet with my  concelours and generals, but first wouldn't you like to eat?"

"Of course, your majesty"

They followed her and a couple of guards to another room of the palace, this one with blue accents, a large table that occupied most of it and beautiful lights all around.

"I can see you like the decorations" the Queen said to Rey.

"The palace is beautiful, well, Naboo in general... seems like a beautiful place" The Queen laughed a little and smiled at her.

"Thank you, I can show you around later if you'd like" She offered.

They took seats and answered the many questions that Zorya had, because she had also requested that they called her that, and asked some others too. Rey knew Ben was filled with curiosity and was trying to handle himself as best as he could, but their connection betrayed him.

To Zoyra he may look calm, open and relaxed, which he was for the most part, but Rey felt his anticipation and longing to know more about his family, so she decided to help.

"Zorya, is there any place which we could learn more about... Naboo?"

"Sure, what would you like to know?" she asked after chewing.
