Dyad: The force of a new beginning.

New force

"It was a good desition not to bring Poe" Ben said when they  were close to the planet where the ball was going to be held.

Rey sat next to him in the Millenium Falcon.

"Yeah, he wouldn't have stop complaining" She said with a smirk.

"You're gonna be great." Ben said reaching out for her hand, sensing her distress.

"Don't you think that people are going to complain or be all over me? You know, asking for favors or complaining" 

"I think they  won't want to be so close to me, besides, you can make them go away" he reminded her.

It was true, she could order them to go away, not as a queen but as someone who could use the force... yet the idea didn't appeal to Rey.

"I just hope time goes fast" she sighed and looked down, running her hands through the fabric, smoothing out the nonexisten wrinckles of her dress.

"Leader, Rey. We are very honored to have you here" Senator Han told her. He extended his hand to Rey and then to Ben, shaking hands.

"As you may know, this is Ben Solo and he's my partner for today" Rey explained, hoping that maybe the king would tell other people so they'll know that Ben was here with her.

"Yeah... well, I hope we get to dance at least a piece together. Enjoy your stay" the king bowed and left them to welcome more people.

"He hates me, but at least he tolerates me" Ben stated the obvious making Rey roll her eyes.

"Come on, the only good thing about today will be the food" Rey said taking his arm and walking inside to look for the food table.

As time passed more and more people noticed that Rey was there, and she had sense the intentions of the people to come close and ask for things, just like she had imagined, but thankfully Ben scared them away with their presence.

"Wait, they'll notice" Ben stopped Rey from feeding him a piece of cake. She lowered her arm, and her eyes. Ashamed and tired of the situation.

"This sucks... just have a piece then, it's good." she passed him her plate and went to the desserts table to look for something else. So far she had only danced with Senator Han, after he formaly told everyone who she was. Not that they didn't know.

The rest of the time she and Ben had stayed near the food table and some chairs in the corner of the room.

"The strawberry chocolate cupcakes are the best, but don't tell anyone" Rey heard a man's... a boy's voice say.

"Excuse me?" 

"I saw you looking for a dessert, and not to brag but I've tried them all already and those cupcakes are the best." he said.

Rey examined him as she offered a friendly laugh and thanked him.

The boy was blond and tall, with pale skin and brown eyes.

"I'm Harry, Senator Jacob's son. Nice to meet you" he said walking around the table  to stand next to her.

"I'm Rey" she said taking his hand and leaving the cupcake on the table.

"I know. Well, we all know here. Leader" the boy said.

"Would you dance with me?" he proposed then.

The thruth was that he had been expecting her. His father had given him orders of trying to get along with her, in hopes that she was looking to get married in the close future.

"Sure" Rey accepted more because of the preassure than anything else and took a quick look back to search for Ben as Harry walked her to the dance floor.
