Two That Are One

Pain

[We drank the concoction together, as I handed my bowl back first. Ben second, Hux was third, as I burped unexpectedly covering my mouth.]

Rey: Ooh...

[I started to feel woozy, as Ben started to sway not too long after me. Hux was out already, as the third alien caught my back.]

A3: Sleep well.

[I could suddenly understand him, as he guided my head all the way back onto the pillow. The ceiling was open, as I looked past the sky into the stars.]

Exhales

Be with me.

[It reminded me of that, as my spirit drifted up and off into sleep.]

Wheezes

[I woke up on my side to Ben's grunts, he was shifting like he was having a nightmare. After a second he gasped awake. He walked out of the hut but not too far, and after a second, I pursued him. He was dreaming about Han.]

Ben: Hey, you should be resting.

Rey: So should you.

[As we admired the sandy dunes, Ben turned to me with a grief-filled look in his eyes.]

Ben: I saw my Dad...

[He shuddered silently, as I pulled him into a hug.]

Ben: He keeps coming back to haunt me-

Rey: No, that's just your guilt.

Ben: It hurts so much...

[As he kneeled I kneeled with him, and he cried into my shoulder.]

Rey: I know, but your father loved you.

[Rubbing his hair with my hand.]

Rey: With every ounce he had, and he still does.

[I pulled away, rubbing a tear off his cheek.]

Rey: He lives in you, never forget that.

[I smiled, with tears coming down myself. Touching my forehead to his, we clasped hands.]

Ben: Thank you...

[As we locked eyes, his nose touched mine and started to move closer until.]

Hux: We've got incoming!

[My eyes widened as I heard tie fighters approaching, one blew up the hut.]

Rey: No!

[As it flew over my head, starting to turn around. I ignited my lightsaber, going into a run past the hut. The tie fighter flew inches from the ground to ram me as it got closer. I waited till the sand parted just below my feet to front flip, cutting the cockpit, as I landed on my feet. The fighter rolled and crashed in a big sand mound, as another tie fighter flew around me. Looking across to the hut, Hux got the aliens out, as the tie fighter started to head for them. Outstretching my right hand to the fighter, I used to force to pull it back. Ben helped by outstretching his hand, pushing it towards me. I grunted though, since the thrusters kicked in, I barely caught it as it shot sending Ben back a couple of meters. Pulling by myself, I felt energy surging up in my arm, yelling it burst out as lightning toward the tie fighter blowing it up into pieces.]

Good, very good.

[I panted looking at my hand, as sparks were still evident on my fingertips. I took one step at a time back to Ben and Hux, saying.]

Rey: It's not safe here, we have to find another planet too-

[I stopped since Hux and Ben had an identical look, which never happens.]
