Rey awoke, well rested. She was surprised by how well she had been able to sleep on the hard ground. But it was warm and soothing to her aching muscles.

She sat up and looked around at the desert landscape that surrounded her. She could sense Ben nearby, she could feel him coming closer. She stood and faced the direction that he was coming from. She could just see his tie silencer on the horizon, coming towards her.

She pulled out her lightsaber and ignited it, so that he would be able to see her from the distance between them.

The blue light shown brightly. Bright enough that he could see it from this distance, even in the daylight. It drew him to her like a moth to a flame.

The tie silencer came towards her and she began to run away from it as quickly as she could to get enough momentum to jump up onto it. When the tie silencer was almost upon her she back flipped up onto its roof, using the Force to lift her higher.

Ben opened a small shaft on the tie silencer's roof. She climbed down into the cockpit with him. She sat down in the seat next to him. Then she leaned her head against his shoulder, exhausted. "You came back for me." She said.

"I promised that I would." He whispered. Then he flew the tie silencer into space and let it orbit Jakku.

"You're the only one who has ever come back for me," she said.

"And you're the only one who never stopped believing that there was still good in me," he answered.

"Ben will you come back for me?" she asked softly. "Please?"

He knew what she meant, back from the Dark Side. Back to the Light Side, the Resistance and his mother. "Yes," he whispered. He had always been afraid to come back, but for Rey he was willing to face those fears.

"Thank you," she said, wrapping her arm around him. "Ben, I love you. I have loved you since the moment when we touched hands. But I was afraid to tell you, because I thought that you might leave me...like everyone else."

"Rey, I will never leave you. I know how it feels to be left behind, and I would never do that to you on purpose. I love you. And I promise that I will always come back for you sweetheart," he said, then he turned to look into her hazel eyes. He leaned closer to her and gently kissed her lips.

She reached up to touch his cheek and pull him closer to her as she kissed him in return.
