Dyad: The force of a new beginning.

Trial

Almost a month had gone by since Ben had left, Rey was almost sure that he was done with the camps and that she was safe, so he could come back but... this time it was him who wasn't safe.

Rey  had went to Naboo and back a million times already, or that was what she felt like.

The senators, kings and queens decided that it was a good place to gather and almost everyday they'll have meetings with Rey, trying to convince her to rule the galaxy, giving her advice, telling her what they needed from her and every day she felt worst and worst, with a big burden on her shoulders.

"You've already saved the galaxy, you can sure rule it" Ben had said to her the other night, while she complained about not being fit for the job.

Ben... 

She still couldn't convince them to not put Ben to trial, and it scared her to death. What if all that was left was for her and Ben was to only see each other in secret, through their force bonds? only for minutes but not able to spend time together... or walk hand in hand... or talk for more than some minutes...

They wanted to negociate with her, and she had that to discuss too.

"Rey! look at this, John and I did it" Leda came running to where Rey was sitting near the  fire. A young boy followed Leda and gave Rey a shy smile.

"Wow, this is amazing kids. Who taught you?" Rey admired the little drone standing between them, it's body was like a box and it had two wheels, it didn't do much but it was pretty.

"Kaydel helped us a little" John said.

"She taught you well, in no time you'll be able to build bigger droids or ships, or anything" she encouraged the kids.

"Thanks Rey" Leda said and hugged her. It always took Rey by surprise when the kid hugged her,  but she did it almost every day. She smiled warmly and pathed her back.

"If I don't have to go tomorrow then I'll help you get some parts to improve the droid okay?" 

"Great!" the kids ran away with the drone following behind and Rey sighed.

"Oh no, go away" If Rey was mad with Poe before, she was even more now, that almost every time he got near her was to tell her about meetings she had to attend to.

"I can't keep apologyzing forever Rey" he said raising his hands and slowly sitting beside her.

"What now?" she hugged herself  and turned just enough to see Poe.

"Ben said he'll come back soon, he has visited all the camps" Poe was playing with his hands.

"When did he tell you that? are you serious? Oh god... but... didn't he requested another ship to take some kids here just two days ago?" 

"He sent a message earlier, saying that the ship from the other day would come back before him, full of kids and that today he'll make an effort to come back." 

Why hadn't he told Rey anything about that?...

"In that case that is fantastic, one of the few good things you have said to me" She aswered and turned her back.

"Rey..." Poe's voice was pleading behind her.

"Come on, I miss my friend" he  said. Rey rested her chin on her knees. A friend... she hadn't had many friends before she joined the resistance.

She had to be very careful who she talked to, who saw her, what she found... she had been so alone for such a long time.

"I'm sorry" she said after a while.
