"Rey huh? That's a pretty name"
Rey blushes "T-thanks... Yours is pretty too"
Wait, What?
"Um, I don't think that's how-" I start while smiling
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I meant-" she says hysterically
I put my hand on her shoulder
"Haha it's okay, I'm just teasing you. I knew what you meant" I assure her
She simply smiles at me
And then we hear a noise and then smoke comes up from the ship floor.
"Help me with this. Quick!" She tells me while going to the smoke.
"Shit! What's going on!"

My head then starts to burn and I simply hear a trembling voice followed by a response

"The two were accompanied by a girl."
"What girl?!"

I finally snap out of it and continue to look down at Rey working on the problem.
"I seriously need a vacation"

"It's the motivator. Grab me a Harris wrench, check in there" she says while pointing
"How bad is it?" I ask her while looking for the wrench
"If we want to live, not good"
"Good to know!" I yell back before adding
"The First Order is hunting for us right now, we gotta get out of this system!"

"BB-8 said the location of the Resistance base is "need to know" and if I'm taking you there, I need to know!"
SHIT! Totally forgot about Resistance lie
I finally grab the wrench and throw it to her
I look at BB-8 and wave him over.
"Alright buddy, you gotta tell us where your base is."
BB-8 simple beeps and shakes his dome
"Come on droid, I don't speak that *beep beep* shit." I calm myself down. "But okay, between us, I'm not with the Resistance okay?" Hoping he manages to still tell us where the base is.
He simply backs away, which looks comically.
I hold back a laugh by coughing
"Look, I'm just trying to get away from the First Order but you tell us where the base is, then MAYBE I'll consider joining The Resistance. Deal?"
He looks to the right of me
"Bi- sorry.... Droid please!"

Rey then pops us again
"Piles driver, hurry."
I then go for the driver
"So where's your base?" She asks us
"Droid, don't tell me down" I beg to myself
"Go on, BB-8, tell her."
He then looks at Rey, then back at me, then to Rey, then to me. Blah blah blah
"Please?" I whisper to him
He then beeps at Rey
"The Illeenium System?" she blurts out
"Yeah, that system, that's the one!" I say happily
"Get us there as fast as you can" I say while giving BB-8 a Thumbs up
I mouth out a Good Job Buddy to the droid while he gives me a thumbs up or lighter up as well.

 Blah blah blah"Please?" I whisper to himHe then beeps at Rey"The Illeenium System?" she blurts out"Yeah, that system, that's the one!" I say happily "Get us there as fast as you can" I say while giving BB-8 a Thumbs up I mouth out a Good Job Budd...

Atleast I hope it's a thumbs up and not a middle finger
"I'll drop you two at Ponemah Terminal" She tells us Before asking for the bonding tape.
"Well, what about you?" I ask her
Then she says the dreaded words of wanting to go back to DAMN Jakku
"Back to Jak... Why does everyone wanna go back to  Jakku?" I yell out before tossing her the tape
What? Thought I didn't know what damn tape was. HA!
I then crawl to the opening Rey is in,
"Hey, Rey, you're a pilot. You can literally fly anywhere. Why go back?"
She pops up again "None of your business, that's why"
Ouch
I must have given her a look because she has a regretful look on her face.
"S-sorry it's just-"
"It's okay Rey. Haha it's really none of bus-"
The ship then makes another noise before red light surrounds us.
"That can't be good" I say while looking around
"No, it can't be." She adds in before running towards the pilot seat, with me going with her of course.
She messes with the control before breathing out
"Someone's locked on to us. All controls are overridden."
We hear bang above us and I look up.
"See anything?" She asks me
"Oh shit"
"Language!" She says while hitting me arm
"Ouch, sorry" Never had someone hit me for language before
I continue to look up
"I have no idea what this is" I tell her
"What do we do?.... there must be something"
I then come to a idea
I then point out to her, "you said poisonous gas"
"I fixed that"
"Can you unfix it?"
We then run out while grabbing face masks and lift the panel to the floor
"Come on BB-8" Rey tells him
She guides him towards we I am
"I got him" I say while bringing him down towards me and place him next to me
"Heavier then you look pal" I say to me
*Beep Beep*
"Geez, I need to learn droid language"
Rey joins us and goes to unfix the whatever was wrong with the ship before asking me
"You think this will work against the stormtroopers"
Without thinking I blurt out
"Yeah, their masks are built around smoke not toxins."
SHIT! Way to blow your cover there
I then go up and lift the covering a bit to see what's coming in.
I hear a lot of clanging and banging and I tell Rey to hurry.
I then immediately go back down when I see the door open.
I then hear above us
