You couldn't sleep. And neither could he. The day was just way too overwhelming for both of you. So, you decided to show him the city from up above, well as high as you could go to yourself. The top of one of the towers, looming over the still ongoing rush in the market, which was now only consistent with merchants selling fabrics or sculptures.

You told him a lot about the Queen of Naboo, well at least all that you knew about her since you didn't get to see her. Your grandparents, however, used to tell you stories about the tragedy of Padme Amidala and her lover Anakin Skywalker. Ben listened without any comments or questions. His mother and his uncle didn't talk about his grandparents. How could they? They themselves never got to truly meet their parents, so he couldn't blame them.

His interest got peaked as you mentioned the mausoleum, where she was laid to rest.

"Do you know where the grave is?" He asked trying to not seem too demanding.

"Yes, of course! Everyone in Naboo knows where she is buried. Would you like to visit her?"

"I would love to if it isn't too much to ask."

His shy response made you chuckle, as you hopped onto your feet, leaping down onto the next roof under the tower. This startled him since he had no idea that you were this adventurous, so he stayed in the spot where he was sitting for a little bit longer.

"Do you wanna follow me, or are you going to sit there for the rest of the night?" You joked as you made your way down to the alleyways again.

Ben followed you, maybe a little bit more clumsy than he had hoped, but he reached the hard ground with a huff. You walked through the dimly lit streets of Naboo, trying to navigate through the still plenty crowded area.

As you arrived at the little temple-like building, you didn't talk much and neither did he. You guided him inside to a huge stone grave, with Naboo's symbol engraved in its top plate. The only source of light came from a tall glass window with a picture of Padme Amidala on it. He let his hand trace over the engravement of the grave. His expression wasn't full of sorrow as you would have expected it, he looked content.

"Are you alright?" Your question came out as a mere whisper, but he still acknowledged it and gave you a slight nod.

"Yes, I think so. You know, my mother always told me that she was beautiful and kind, but there was something sad about her. I understand what she meant. This place is full of such beauty and such warmth, but her sadness always seems to seep through."

Both of you stood inside the temple for a little while longer, not talking about anything, but enjoying the comfortable silence. You gave him a little bundle of red and purple flowers, to put on his grandmother's grave and he accepted it gratefully, placing it next to the symbol.

After this, rather depressing, part of your tour, you decided that you wanted to make him smile again. So you took him away from the troubles of the city into nature. The broad meadow was quiet in the early hours of the incoming day an there was no one here to bother you. The refreshing wind gave you goosebumps, as you sat in the high grass on top of a hill. Ben looked away into the distance, trying to make out all the different features the rich landscape could offer.

A low grunt, followed by a huff behind him, made him jump and turn around immediately, ready to give the stranger sneaking up behind him a piece of his mind. But as he was faced with a long brown snout and the yellow eyes of a big, weird-looking creature, he put his hand down, looking back at you with a confused look. You just let out a snort-like love and moved your hand forward to pet it.

"Kriff, what is that thing?" Your companion asked, still being suspicious of the beast that has crept up behind him.

"That thing? That's a Shaak. Have you never seen one? They are loveable but stupid and maybe a little stubborn, but they are harmless. See?" The Shaak eased into your touch and rubbed his head onto your hand, definitely enjoying the attention he was getting from you. It settled on the ground to lie down and be pampered a little. Ben moved forward to imitate you and pet it too, even though he was still intrigued.

You sat together 'til the early hours of the morning, none of you getting even slightly tired. As the sun came up, he had laid his head into your lap, as you talked about yourself and your life on Naboo. The conversation moved onto him again and he told you about Kylo Ren. It was a shock at first, to hear how he spoke about the things he did in his past, but in your heart, you knew that it wasn't him. It was another person that just happened to share his body. It was in the past and it stayed there.

As cheesy as it might sound, you took the time to pick some flowers growing next to you and started making flower crowns. It was a habit of yours since you used to make them for your siblings when you visited this field as children or when you had to help your parents in the shop. He followed your hand movements while you finished his and placed it on his head gracefully.

"Your majesty." You commented jokingly, as you bowed your head lightly. A bright smile formed on his lift as he slowly got back on his feet again. The look in his told you that he was about to do something stupid. And he did.

His arms wrapped around your waist, as he lifted you in the air, running towards the lake at the edge of the meadow.

"No, no, no, no! Let me down! I don't-"

Splash! Both of you landed in the freezing water, startling the herd of Shaaks drinking from it. You resurfaced to see him, fully drenched, standing next to you. The two of you decided that you should go home soon since the chill morning breeze didn't do you any favors.

Initially Ben had planned to stay on Naboo for only a few weeks but with your company, these weeks turned into months and he didn't have the heart to just leave. He lived with you and your family, he helped with the flower stand, always eager to learn more stuff about how you lived your life and he spent most of his time with you. Over this time, it made the two of you grow even closer than before and you started to date each other.

One day, however, the Rebels contacted him. They needed his help since his ability to use the force was needed for the success of a special mission. So, he had no other chance than to leave you for a while.

This morning he stood amidst the flower field next to your house, his bag swung around his shoulder and his mind still in your bed. You walked up behind him, wrapping your arms around his waist and putting your head against his back. He smiled and turned around to kiss you on the forehead.

"Good luck." You said, the sadness of him having to leave for a while hitting you suddenly harder than expected. "Come back to me in one peace, will ya?"

He let out a chuckle and leaned forward to capture your lips truly this time.

"I promise you, I will, my dear."

"Before you go, I have something for you!"

You rummaged around in your bag to retrieve a flower crown, made out of the same kind of blue flowers you gifted him when you first met. Ben bent down to let you put it on his head.

Without many words you said goodbye. You weren't scared, that he could get hurt, you knew he would come back. After all, he was lost before you and with you, he finally felt found.
