Dyad: The force of a new beginning.

Nightmares

"It almost feels like a dream to be here" Rey said as she and Ben walked through the meadow to get close to the lake.

"We could visit here more often, if you'd like" He said shrugging and walking in front of her, he had a smug smile and Rey could feel something hidden, she tried to unwrap it, to read his mind, but all she could do was feel. And Ben felt happy and excited.

There was something he was hiding from her...

"Come on" He called for her and quickened his pace until he was running and with a giggle she ran after him.

"Why do we have to run?!" she yelled but kept running.

"You'll see" Suddenly Ben stopped and she couldn's stop at the same time, too late she noticed that they were steps away from the edge of the lake, she got to slow down a little only to be wrapped in Ben's arms and then thrown into the water.

"Ben!" she complained but couldn't stop smiling.

He didn't let go of her and they floated a little only to begin a fight of splashes seconds later.

"Don't you like the lake?" Ben mocked swimming around Rey.

She shot some water at his face.

After some time of swimming and fooling around they got out and went back to the Lake house.

"Queen Zoyra asked us to come and check on you, we've left you some dinner and we can wait or leave" Two young girls dressed in orange and white clothes told them vowing their heads.

"It's okay, you can leave. Thank you" Rey said trying not to leave a mess of water where she stood.

They each retired to their rooms to take a shower, both feeling happy.

Ben was the first to head down, back to the too big room full of portraits of visitants of the house.

"Queen Amidala" Rey read reaching Ben and resting her head against his arm.

"She was beautiful" Ben said.

"She really was" Rey kept walking, seeing faces and reading names, it was weird... like she could feel their presence around her even if just for a second.

"Huh" she sighed and crossed her arms.

"Did you find something?" Ben asked walking towards her.

"Just... the as- Palpatine... used to come here too" She said pointing to a picture.

"Well, many people in power have stayed here" he shrugged and ran his hands up and down Rey's arms comforting her.

It was weird for Ben not to feel the bandages covering her arms. When they got to the lake house they found out that the Queen sent them a few Naboo's clothing, righ not Rey wore a flowy green and blue dress, with soft, long sleeves splashed in orange shades; Ben wore a white shirt with an orange almost brown belt and black pants.

"I think I want to eat" She mentioned and turned around in his arms.

"Why... don't we race for it?" he proposed flashing her a bright smile. Rey rolled her eyes at him but didn't stop smiling. She started counting only for Ben to start running when she said one.

"Hey!" she complained and went after him, the place was so big that they had to go through multiple corridors to get to the kitchen and Ben hid in one of the turns, only coming out after Rey ran in front of him.

"Got you" he howled coming behind her and wrapping his arms on her waist. She let out a surprised cry but then she laughed with him.

They ate in peace, sharing stories of Ben's time as Kylo Ren and the few things Rey could remember growing up, their theories and thoughts about the force and the teachings of the Jedi.
