A/N: This chapter is going to be adorable! It's basically a bunch of cute Reylo scenes, since that is the only reason we are here, right?

But anyway, I feel so bad not knowing whose art it is I'm using. I spend hours on pinterest looking for the perfect one for each chapter, but they are almost never linked to someone I can credit. If you know, please tell me so that I can credit them.

I woke up in the middle of the night, shaking from a bad dream. I had to get out of bed and take a walk to calm my mind. I grabbed my shirt and threw it on, headed towards the door. I walked as quietly as possible as I walked by Rey's bedroom so that I wouldn't wake her up. 

Last night was a mess. I felt terrible for not being strong. Rey had gone through so much, and there I was dumping all of my personal problems on her. I would never be able to understand what she saw in me that made her want to stay by my side. 

I walked over to the sand dune that I had sat on almost all evening yesterday. I lay on the sand, allowing it to get in my hair, and looked up at the stars. They shone brightly on the dark night sky. I sat there for about five minutes before I heard the crunch of sand under boots approach from the direction of the house. I didn't have to look up to know it was Rey, who else would it be?

She lay down right next to me in the sand, resting her head on my chest. She didn't say a word as she joined me in looking at the stars. I wrapped my arm around her, and she shifted her tiny body so that she could be comfortable. I smiled, thankful for having her in my life.

"I love you" I hear her whisper and I turned my head to kiss her cheek.  She sat up, pulling me with her and kissed me. I was taken by surprise and pulled back for a second, but then I pulled her in for a kiss. The stars shown brightly above us, but it seemed like we only noticed each other.  

Rey broke away, and laughed. I didn't understand what was so funny, but I stayed silent. While she laughed, I tried to memorize every detail of her face. The way her dimples showed when she smiled or laughed, and how her hair fell around her face. She was so beautiful, with the starlight making her glow. 

Rey stood up and shoved me off the sand dune. I shouted from surprise, tumbling all the way to the bottom. Sand got in my mouth and I tried to spit it out as I laughed. I looked at Rey and she was doubled over from laughing at me. The moment I was sure that there was no more sand in my mouth, I ran back up the dune, charging towards Rey. Rey stopped laughing as she noticed me, and began to run in the opposite direction. I chased after her, laughing the whole time.

I finally caught up to her, which wasn't hard. I grabbed around the waist. I twirled her around in the air, the both of us laughing the entire time. I set her down and we both doubled over laughing. I was glad that we were enjoying a chill moment. We had been so busy working so hard this past week that we really needed a break. I sat back down and Rey lay on the ground with her head resting on my lap. I smiled down at her as she rearranged her hair.  

"Thank you for coming out and sitting with me."  I said.

"You really should be sleeping. Is everything okay? I heard you coming out and I was worried." Rey looked up at me and held her hand to my cheek. I looked away, and her hand left my face. "Is it the nightmares again? I wish there was something I could do to help you."

I turned my head back down to face her again and gave her a weak smile. I tried to play it off like it wasn't a big deal, but Rey knew better. She sat up and continued to push me to talk about my nightmare. Finally, I told her about it, and we stayed up talking. We continued to talk until Tattooine's two suns began to peak out on the horizon. As light began to flood the sky, we got up to begin work. 

Today was going to be a busy day. We had to search for a spot to build our academy. This was Rey's dream and I totally planned to make it happen for her. I would find the perfect spot so that she could continue Luke's legacy. Though the two of us had mixed feelings about my uncle, with him trying to kill me and everything, we still respected him as a Jedi master. This is what Luke would have wanted and we were going to make it happen.

A/N: I am publishing this chapter early because my best friend is really excited for it. It's also sort of an early birthday present because her birthday is this week and she has been bothering me to update it quicker so that we can get to Reylo baby. (and we will eventually.) I was planning on posting this a day early, but I go back to school tomorrow and am busy in the evening, so I bet I would have forgotten...

I hope you like this chapter, since it was a bunch of Reylo fluff. It was fun to write, but I plan to push the plot along in the next chapter. I don't know why I didn't do it now, I just thought this was super cute and wanted to share it. Plus, it fit the fanart I found.

Next chapter is going to be from Ben's POV again. I plan to put it up on Tuesday, and I hope I can get it up then!
