If you've never been to Hoth, you don't recommend going there. It's basically Jakku except with snow.

From afar, the planet is a pale blue orb. As you fly closer, you realize the blue is mixed with tons of white and tons of snow and tons of-

You cut off your thoughts and finish shoving on your gloves.

As soon as the ramp of the ship hits the soft snow, you shiver.

Kylo glances down at you through his snow goggles. You suppress a giggle. He looks so dorky.

"Ready?" He asks you. You pull down your own goggles.

"Why exactly are we here?" You ask, having to yell over the sound of the wind.

"There are resistance members here. And I need you." Kylo says before walking down the ramp. You follow him and are greeted by the wind biting at your face. You're suddenly thankful for your coat.

The two of you trudge into the snow. Soon enough you can't tell how far away you are from the ship and which direction is left and which is right.

You also stopped shivering almost ten minutes ago. The cold has just seemed to become a part of you.

After a while, you and Kylo come across a large gray building. It's definitely the back seeing as there's no front door.

You duck under the overhang of the building and pull up your goggles. Kylo does the same, shaking snow out of his hair. He kept his hood off the entire walk and the snow coated his black hair in white.

"Where are the stormtroopers?" You ask Kylo. He puts a finger up to his lips and you stop talking.

"The stormtroopers are up front fighting the resistance members. We're going in the back way to keep away from the fight." Kylo leans down to whisper in your ear.

With your mouth as dry as sand, you nod.

Kylo removes his lightsaber and indicates you to do the same. He ignites his and cuts a hole in the back wall of the resistance base.

He steps through and you do the same, ducking to avoid the dripping edges of the hole.

The two of you walk quickly and quietly, your boots clicking on the floor.

The first resistance member you meet is a young man. As soon as he catches sight of Kylo's ignited saber, he drops his weapon and runs. Kylo sighs.

"So much for the element of surprise." He grumbles. You ignite your own lightsaber with a twirl.

"I never taught you to do that." Kylo gives you a sideways glance.

"You never taught me how to do a lot." You keep your eyes forward. Fighting will be a bit uncomfortable in your big coat, but it's nothing you can't handle.

As the two of you near the front of the resistance base, you begin to hear the sound of blasters and screaming.

When you and Kylo sneak up behind the resistance members, the stormtroopers stiffen up and hold their fire, scared of hitting the two of you.

At this, the resistance members perk up, hoping it's a surrender. Only when they turn around do they realize.

Their fire turns to focus on the two of you, but Kylo quickly deflects all of their shots.

The battle turns to a fray as the resistance gets up to run away only to be cut down by blaster fire or Kylo.

You are too scared to kill anybody so instead, you turn off your lightsaber and hit people with the hilt.
