"My... my story?"

"Yeah," Anakin nodded and gave Ophelia a soft smile, "I ask that to everyone. I know, it's random."

"I think my story is boring." Ophelia tried to talk her way out of a story. She wasn't really much of a talker, especially if it was about her personal life.

"Just talk about whatever makes you comfortable." Anakin smiled at Ophelia, his eyes full of hearts. Ophelia giggled, tucking a strand of her dark blonde hair behind her ear.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you're beautiful."

"What did you just say?" Ophelia croaked, her heart starting to pound up against her chest. Jedi were never supposed to fall in love, so she wasn't used to boys telling her she's beautiful.

But that was the first time Ophelia felt good about herself. She was always insecure, but when she layed her eyes on Anakin, Ophelia knew he was the one for her.

Just as long as they don't fall in love, they'll be good.

"I, well," Ophelia was shocked that Anakin said that she's beautiful, "I haven't heard someone tell me that in years."

Anakin chuckled as he looked away from Ophelia. She beamed, but still avoided telling her story, even though Anakin would probably keep begging her.

"Do you... still want to hear my story?"

Back at the Resistance base on Yavin 4, Poe landed the stolen ship onto the cement ground as everyone ran out to go check on him. Torra bolted to where the ship was, Kaz and Sabine following right behind her.

The ramp door slowly became to lift down towards the ground, revealing Poe. He was standing there, his curls folded across her hair and his face. Poe was traumatized, his face red and eyes full of tears.

Where's Willow?

"Poe!" Torra yelped out loud as she ran up the ramp of the ship. Kaz followed behind her, Torra and him wrapping Poe's arms around their shoulders to help him walk down the ramp.

"Get him medical attention, please." Sabine recommended to the rest of the Resistance fighters that were standing behind her. A few of the doctors nodded, running off to the medical building to get their supplies and to set up a room.

"Commander Dameron," General Leia Organa walked over in front of Poe, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Poe shook his head, his hair curls then smacking up against his eyebrows. Poe was terrified, he had just crashed into a desert planet, the man he just met and his younger sister gone.

"Where's Willow?" Poe asked. Torra and Kaz then looked at each other before looking at General Organa, who sighed before breaking the news to Poe.

"Poe, we don't know where she could be," General Organa began, "We know she was in the tie fighter with you when it crashed, but we don't know about her whereabouts at this moment. She could be dead for that matter. I'm sorry."

Poe's body went limp as be dropped to his knees onto the ground, bursting into tears. Years before, his parents died, then having to take care of his younger sister that was only nine years younger.

"It's going to be okay," Torra got on her knees next to Poe, wrapping her hands around him for a hug, "We'll find her in no time."

"Just whatever you're comfortable with." Anakin nodded his head and smiled towards Ophelia.

"Well, I was kept a secret from the Jedi council for... about a year or so," Ophelia began, "Jedi aren't supposed to have children. My dad was secretly dating this girl, no one knew about her."

"How does your father even manage to do that?" Anakin asked, gaining more curiousness before Ophelia continued.

"I don't even know," Ophelia chuckled as she tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear, "Soon enough, my mom got pregnant, had me, got kept a secret. Both my parents were young when I was born though, they were 22."

"And your mom?"

Ophelia tried to hold in the tears when Anakin asked about her mom. Chuckling, she wiped away a tear that fell down her face.

"She died when I was young, I must've been about four years old. She got very sick, no one could save her. My dad then met someone else, but she died too."

Anakin sighed when he heard about Ophelia's mom. Luckily he had never lost a parent, but lost a sibling in terms of changing sides, but his brother was almost killed.

"I'm from the past though, somehow I survived being launched into the future and I'm still the same age." Ophelia shrugged her shoulders to get off the topic about her mother.

"Hey," Anakin placed his arms up against the table, opening up his hands for Ophelia to rest her hands on top of his, "It's going to be okay, I promise."

"Thank you, Anakin," Ophelia beamed, the tears forming in her eyes again, "Thank you."

Anakin got up from his seat, leaving Ophelia by herself to recollect her emotions. Jacen was leaning up against the wall, smirking as he watched his younger brother walk back over to the control room.

"Dude," Jacen nugged Anakin's shoulder, "You want her."

"I gotta call bullshit on that one," Anakin rolled his eyes at Jacen, "All I told her is that she's beautiful, nothing major."

"Dude, that's false. You think she's beautiful, you want to admit it."

"She isn't just beautiful, Jacen," Anakin stopped right in front of his brother, looking at him, "Ophelia is stunning, Jacen. Maybe you should go for her."

"You know how I am with girls, Ani," Jacen raised his arms in the air in a playful manner, "Go for it."

"I guess I should." Anakin shrugged her shoulders. Jacen walked off into the control room, Anakin then looking out to where Ophelia was sitting, a smile growing across his face.

He is right, she is stunning. And he wants her. No, not wants, needs.
