My mother had advised me to get some rest, she always did after travelling, but after she'd seen my breakdown in front of everyone, she took me to medic wing, like she did every time I had a panic attack.

I didn't resist, instead letting her lead me to the secluded, white rooms and the medics who knew me and my history gave me space, allowing me to just lay down and breath. I should have tried to sleep, but what was the point when I knew I would have to relive my father's death over and over again in my dreams? Instead I just laid on my back on one of the stiff beds, staring at the ceiling, taking in deep breaths. This lasted about half an hour until I got bored, so I shifted into a sitting position, crossing my legs for meditation.

As soon as I closed my eyes I felt the force flow over me like a wave of sea water. Everything around me seemed to emit part of the force and it all enveloped me into a tight hug, so tight that at first I couldn't breathe. Remaining calm, I imagined an island, surrounded by the sea, secluded and hidden. The greenery was peaceful despite its vibrancy and the mountainous terrain surrounded the island like a form of protection, and though it was harsh that didn't stop the wildlife nesting amongst it, crying out to each other as the fat little birds flew around madly. The environment around me I recognised, I'd visited this planet once before when travelling with Erika and Izzy. Ach-To.

It was almost humorous to see, the harsh contrast of these carefree creatures and the newly noticeable figure, cloaked in thick brown flowing robes.

The figure stood still for a moment, watching out to the sea, almost as if he was hoping to see something new, but yet glad at the same time that he was alone. I sensed his isolation and remembered my own on Jakku. I felt sympathy for him as I related my experiences to his, the thought of Jakku making me feel sick. I tried to focus on the serene of the island, but my attention kept being drawn back to the figure, so instead I watched him, and as if he sensed me there, he began to turn.

The moment he pushed his hood away I knew him. Luke Skywalker. Uncle Luke. He looked worn and rugged, his shaggy hair and beard laced with grey hairs. His usually kind eyes looked tired too. He was just like the rest of my family; tired of this war which had torn us apart.

"Lucinda, will I see you soon?"

I gasped, my eyes shooting open, my body falling back down onto the bed as I came out of the meditation float I had previously been in as the shock of what my uncle said set in. Nothing about it was truly shocking, except for the fact the force had just asked me to see my uncle. Taking a deep breath, I immediately let out a long sigh, my mind processing the vision I had just seen.

"Luci?" I heard a voice ask, almost doubtfully, the unexpected visitor making me jump slightly, that was until I realised it was Poe.

Poe, that I had previously exploded on. Shit, how I regretted that. Just looking at his cautious face made me guilty as I realised how much pain I had caused him.

"Poe, I'm so sorry-" I began but he shook his head.

"Nothing to forgive," he offered me a small smile. "You were just floating,"

"It happens when I meditate," I shrugged with a small smile, though I immediately turned serious once more when I remembered my vision. "Poe, I just saw my Uncle. He's on an island on a planet. It's so far away. I could feel his pain, and his loneliness. Poe, it's so secluded and isolating... he couldn't even feel my Dad being killed..."

"Oh, Luci," Poe spoke so softly, like what she was saying genuinely hurt him, to the extent he looked just as broken as I felt.

He rushed over to her, practically throwing himself onto her bed, pulling her into a tight embrace, burying his face into her neck. I remained sat up, my arms wrapped around his back, though not as tightly as he was holding me.

"Listen to me, Luce," he spoke after a while, almost urgently, sitting up, instead gripping just my hands. "When they've done to your family, what they've done to you, we'll hit 'em back so much harder. The resistance may be small, much smaller than it used to be anyway in the days of the Empire, but that's not gonna stop us from showing them everything we've got. Me and you, we've done it before, we'll do it again, but harder. If it was up to me, we would be after those bastards right now, but your mother and the others wouldn't let me. At some point though they will let me, and I'll be after them so fast they won't even know what killed 'em. I promise, Luce, I promise that it won't make what's happened right, but it'll make 'em hurt just like you're hurting,"

"Poe... Poe I love you," I said before I could stop myself. "All my life I've wanted to be a Jedi, all my life I've been teaching myself to hold my feelings back and never fall in love, but all my life I've been failing. I'm no Jedi, my feelings have always directed my path in life, so why not now embrace that? There's no other Jedi left, except my uncle, and the only reason he's here is because one Jedi broke the rules and fell in love. My father was always afraid that I would end up like Anakin, and it turns out I have, because I love you, Poe, and I can't hold my feelings anymore,"

Poe sat there, staring at me, and then he began to laugh. He laughed so much that I grew worried that he didn't love me too and everyone had made some horrific mistake. Just as I felt the doubt and regret set in, he stopped, looked me in the eye as his laughter fell, only a smile remaining until he placed his hands either side of my face to pull me closer as he pushed a kiss against my lips. His hands spread to the back of my head, his fingers running through my hair, all whilst his lips remained locked onto mine. I was taken a back slightly, the surprise of his show of affection making the force surge through me to the extent I grew worried about channelling my lightning at him, but after a moment I decided that it didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was Poe.

My fingers went to his curly hair and I felt him bite my lip slightly as we continued to kiss, the fireworks in my stomach still going off, and I had never felt happier, never felt more complete. That was until Poe let out a slight yelp, pulling away from our kiss, practically throwing himself off the bed, rubbing the back of his head anxiously. I immediately frowned, unsure as to why he jumped away from me so fast, until I caught sight of my finger tips, which were glowing purple ever so slightly. My stomach, previously exploding with fireworks now churned with dread as I looked at him with fear in my eyes, moving my hands behind my back protectively.

"Luce... what the hell was that?" he exclaimed, though he didn't seem angry, just shocked and a little hurt, though that still was upsetting to me. 

"I don't really know but it's a part of me and the force," I took a deep breath as I attempted to explain. "I first felt it when I was fighting the Stormtroopers by Maz's castle, I think that I'd shut myself off from the force for so long my mind was overdosing maybe, or maybe it was just the force telling me that I wasn't a true Jedi by giving me a Sith power, or maybe it's just a part of me that has nothing to do with Jedi or Sith, I don't really know. It happened by accident the first time, but then it happened when I was fighting my brother back on Starkiller base. I could have killed him, but I managed to control it. I thought I had it under control, but I think when I feel anything... anything strong, like grief or anger, or even lust considering what just happened, I think I struggle with the control of it when my emotions break out,"

I paused, glancing over to him to see his reaction to it all, though he just looked a little overwhelmed. I knew how he felt, I didn't understand much of it either, except it was easier for me, considering my training. Sighing, I jumped off the bed and moved towards him, taking his hands in mine. He looked slightly terrified, but he didn't pull away from me, maybe part of him still trusted me despite hurting him. He sighed too, and despite the remaining worry, he pulled his hands out of my grip to pull me into a tight embrace. Though I was taller that him, I buried myself in his chest, sinking down into him as he placed a kiss onto the top of my head. 

"We need my Uncle Luke," I finally said, pulling away slightly. "Poe, I know where he is, the island in my vision, I've seen him and I can find him!"

Before Poe could even respond, I heard the noise of a droid wheeling into the room, beeping excitedly. We both turned, looking down expecting to see Beebee-Ate, though when I actually did glance down I felt a scream come out of my mouth in pure shock when I saw Artoo. I gasped, letting out another squeal as I pulled out of Poe's grip sharply, ducking down to pull the little blue droid into a hug. 

"Artoo! Artoo, buddy!" I gasped out, laughing through the happy tears threatening to fall. "I've missed you little guy!"

Artoo beeped back in response, and though he always used to come out with profanities, even when I was a child to the extent I learnt most of my curse words from the little droid, I couldn't help but be taken a back slightly, gasping out a laugh. 

"Hey, Artoo, you can't say that! He may have ran off and abandoned us but he's still my Uncle and your friend, and don't talk about Threepio that way either!" I laughed, my hand reaching out, placing itself on the little droid's side, listening to him cuss about those I held close to me, as if he was making up for lost time. "Anyway, I think I know where Uncle Luke is, me and you, we'll go find him-"

I paused, stopping as he interrupted me with a whistle. Poe frowned as he ducked down to my side, and when he noticed I'd stopped completely, he placed a hand on my shoulder. I sat there, frozen for a moment as I let what the droid said sink in until another happy smile burst through my face as I began to laugh. Shooting back up to my feet, any anxiety or wave of stress I had previously felt seemed to disappear like the tide, the grief of my father forgotten for just a moment as my happiness exploded into excitement, though I knew to contain myself to prevent another lightning incident. 

"Come on, buddy, my Mum will want to see you and that map, and then we can find Luke,"

Hey guys! 

So this update has been a long time coming I know but for me to progress on with TLJ plot line I needed to see the film (I've seen it twice, died and sobbed both times) and figure out a plan for where Luci would fit into the movie. Well good news, I've finally figured it out! All I have to do now is work out a good time for me to write since I no longer get time to write on the bus but that doesn't matter, I'll figure something out. 

Anyway, Luci and Poe finally kissed! I need someone to come up with a ship name for them since all I can think of is Loe and that's terrible. Some good stuff is gonna happen in the next few chapters to kinda bridge the end of VII and the start of VIII but I'm looking forward to writing TLJ since it's now my favourite (after VI and V, of course, though only because those two have my babe Harrison Ford in)! 

I'm going to start a fortnight update system where I'll update this every two weeks on a sunday so I'll see you then, please comment and vote!
