The Falcon lands on the desert planet of Pasaana and Rey let's out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" I ask, turning to her.

"No matter how hard I try, I always seem to end up on a desert planet." The scavenger rolls her eyes and picks up her staff.

Everyone files off the ship. "How do we know where to go?" I ask.

"C3PO has the coordinates." Rey says, pointing to the golden droid. C3PO nods.

"You're sure this is it?" Poe asks, as he walks around a big chunk of rock.

"These are the exact coordinates that Master Luke left behind." 3PO says. I walk up next to Poe and sigh.

Down in the valley, there's a throng of people. Poe rubs his eyes. "What is this?" He asks angrily.

There's a cheer thrown up the air, and an explosion of color. Kites are being flown, and there's tents of every color popping up.

"The Aki-Aki Festival of the Ancestors." 3PO supplies. "This celebration occurs only once every 42 years!"

Poe places his hands on his hips and chews his lip.

"Well that's lucky." Finn and I say at the same time.

"Lucky indeed!" 3PO says happily. "This festival is known for both its colorful kites and its delectable sweets."

Everyone in the group turns to glare at the droid. He looks at each of us surprised. When he doesn't get a reaction, he turns around.

I stifle a laugh. Poe and Rey begin to climb down the side of the valley easily as everyone else stands at the edge.

I sigh and pick up BB-12. He's heavy. I slide down the rocky valley side and tumble down to the bottom.

I release my droid and brush myself off. My legs have a couple of scratches, but nothing too serious. I see Finn do the same with BB-8.

Chewie climbs down with C3PO hanging onto him. Once everyone's reached the ground, I turn to Poe.

"Where'd you learn to do that?" I ask him. He throws me a side long glance and instead says- "This is going to be hard."

Everyone nods in agreement and we begin to head into the celebration. There's creatures dancing, creatures eating, stalls full of food, creatures burning offerings.

As our group walks through a crowd of Aki-Aki dancing, Rey smiles. "I've never seen anything like this."

"And I've never seen so few Wayfinders." Finn says exasperatedly.

"There's always random First Order patrols in crowds like these." Poe says, BB-8 rolling after him.

I turn around. "So keep your heads down basically." I pause. "Especially you Chewie."
