「Act 39: Unrelated Confession」

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'll be the one if you want me to

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you...

Yavin 4 - Colony, 36 ABY

Yavin 4 used to be a jungle fourth moon in orbit around the red gas giant Yavin. Before and during the Galactic Civil War, it hosted the headquarters of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a group of resistance fighters that opposed the dominant Galactic Empire. A colony was established on the moon Yavin 4 in the months after the Battle of Endor, and today it is visited by multi-life forms.

"I didn't know there was so much green in the whole Galaxy, even here on Yavin 4," Rey said as she strode down the ramp, followed by Finn and Poe.

"You always say that when we land in a jungle," Finn mocked her and tried to grasp her hand. The former stormtrooper was very protective of Rey, even if her abilities were way stronger than Finn's, and now that they were visiting an unfamiliar planet, his hand tried to reach hers.

Rey pulled her hand away; the Jedi didn't like to be touched, especially taking her hand without any reason. "Stop taking my hand!" she complained and pulled away.

"Don't!" came Ben's voice almost as a command. "We need to be careful," he explained as he looked around. "The droids better wait here, and Chewie will have the Falcon ready.. in case things go wrong."

All three -Rey, Poe, and Finn- turned and stared at Ben with a confusing expression on their faces. Until now, Ben's attitude was low; he nearly spoke and surely didn't order people around. But at that moment, Ben sounded confident, like he knew what he was doing, like a leader ready to give commands. Poe was ready to react to his words, but Ben cut him off.

"Sash! Can you hear that?" Ben asked and turned around. They landed a few yards away from the colony, and the colony wasn't any threat to them. But something had alerted Ben. He studied his surroundings until his eyes met with Reys, and suddenly his ears got red as the memory of her kissing him early sprang alive. He looked away at once, blushing and feeling again; his heart skipped a beat. This illness was getting worse; he noted to take some medicine when they would return to Falcon.

"I don't hear anything!" Rey answered, and she cast a glance towards Ben, only to find out that her stomach was once more upset. She acted calmly as if she had already forgotten her stupid impulse to kiss Ben suddenly. And she, as well, thought she was getting sick with some virus.

The company of four hiked south through the land of the deep jungle on turbulent waters, to their left the river rose sharply, Ben, who was walking first in line noted: "We must hold this course west of the River," he paused, breathing deeply and gazing in front of him at the jungle. The alerting feeling was gone, but his ears remained red as his thoughts were debating about the kiss.
