On Your Mark

Ben's POV
Another week has passed and it's becoming a habit for the boys to join us for dinner. I don't mind and neither does Rey.

We aren't known as the new couple in town anymore and it seems like people are always coming and going. You stay for a week, then you're new in town. After 10 days, your old news.

I've come to know the regulars in town who frequent the cantina and know their drinks and roughly where they live.

"Have a good night. See you tomorrow." I say to the Wayne, last customer tonight, as I wipe down the bar.

"Hey Ben." Bawse calls to me, as he approaches.

"Yeah?" I ask and continue with my job, as Rey begins cleaning the tables, since Caskin is sick.

"You know those tickets you turned in for the pod race tomorrow?" Bawse asks.

"Yeah, what about them?"

"Didn't get claimed. Maybe you can take Rey out on a date." He suggests.

"I already have the day off." Rey comes over with a full bin and a towel on her shoulder.

"I can have someone cover you." Bawse says encouraging me.

"Is this a test?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Come on. You did the right thing and I'm rewarding you." He grabs my hand and slaps the two tickets into them. "Plus I never really welcomed you both to Mos Eisley."

"Thank you Bawse." Rey smiles.

"Okay you two go home and check on Caskin. He came in earlier said he was sick. Looked sick too." Bawse replies.

"Yeah, I told him I would cover for him." Rey says sliding the bin over the counter to him.

"Yup. Now go, it's been a busy night. Apollo can wash these on his morning shift tomorrow." Bawse smiles at us and grabs the bin.

"Thanks." I smile to him and exit from behind the bar. "Have a good night. See you later."

"Bye Bawse!" Rey waves and holds the door open for me.

Once on our way home I slide my hand into hers.

"I'm actually excited and nervous for tomorrow." Rey says and I watch the moonlight highlight her face.

"Me too. It's going to be hectic, I bet."

"Yeah. I just hope tomorrow is a good race day."

"Yeah no problems, because if a ship loses control, we might blow our cover." I whisper.

"Which means we'd be on the run again and I actually like it here. It's like a nicer Jakku." Rey tells me. "Reminds me of the simpler days."

"Simpler days?" I question.

"Back before I was involved in the war. When I thought Luke Skywalker was just a myth."

I chuckle. "Nope, definitely not a myth.

Leia's POV
"General." Daniele approaches me. "I intercepted a message from the First Order. It's from Endor."

"Endor? I haven't heard anything from Wicket about the First Order's presence."

"I believe it's the secret station Finn was talking about in his report."

"But Wicket said he did a search and didn't find any evidence suggesting any truth to that." I counter.

"But why would he lie? Plus Poe, Phasma, and some of the orders mentioned it."

I sigh. "I guess I was just hoping it was a hallucination from dehydration."

"Shall we call for the fleet?" She asks.

"No." I brush away her offer. "Leave them on D'Qar. Call Poe and set up a meeting with him here on Naboo."

"Yes General." Daniele nods and exits my office.

I grab Poe's report from it's file, placed with everyone else's who survived that day.

I hear the familiar beep requesting a video call from Luke on Hoth.

"Hello Luke." I answer.

"Hey sis. How's the new arm?"

I glance down at my glove arm as I raise it. "Strange."

"At least it's working. You'll get used to it."

"I'm almost used to it. Just notice it's weight occasionally." I say and begin to notice, as I mention it.

"Just don't think about it. Think about something else."

"Yeah, like the fact that my son did this, then ran away, and almost got killed doing a suicide mission."

"That mission was rather successful for it probabilities." Luke points out. "Now we just have to deal with Yerha and her army of troopers."

"Yeah, Rey did kill Hux and Snoke." I sigh. "I guess that's good."

"Come on Leia, that's great. She even left with Ben."

"Yeah and Ben left the Resistance." I sneer. "My people still can't track the Falcon."

"I would suggest they ditched it, but Ben wouldn't dare." Luke says.

"I don't know about that. Doesn't seem like much of a family guy."

"Leia, I know he has harmed this family, but he is family. Please call off the searches." He pleads.

"He needs to come back. I don't care if he brings Rey. I just have you and him left." I feel my eyes begin to burn with tears building up. "It was my job to rebuild this family and I just feel like-" I begin to cry.

"Shhhh. Leia you did your part in the family tree. Having a Jedi brother can be hard, plus you're a General in a war. You're doing an amazing job."

I sniffle and try to wipe my face clear. "Thanks Luke. Any chance I can see my brother any time soon?"

"Let me check what they need me around for, then I'll get back to you."

"Okay." I sigh.

"May the force be with you."

"And with you." I reply and the calls ends.

Rey's POV
The sun beats down on us, as we take our seats in the stand.

"The pods look all unique in their own way." I almost have to yell to Ben in his ear.

"Yeah, we have about 30 more minutes to look until they all get more banged up and scratched." He says back.

"And I thought my speeder on Jakku was beat up." I reply. "Not at all compared to that one."

I point to a dark podracer with burn marks, scratches, and dents all around it.

"Yeah, that's complete trash."

"But it can take a good beat up and survive." I point out.

"True." He nods.

We contuine examining the podracers, until the racers are all settled in and their engines on.

"This kind of make me want to podrace." I tell Ben.

"Absolutely not. It's too dangerous." He squeezes my hand. "And it'll draw attention."

"I didn't say I was going to, just that I miss the thrill of flying."

"I'm sorry sweetheart." He kisses my hand.

The podracers take off a moment later. "And they're off!" The announce shouts.

A screen shows the burned beat up one in third. "See it's not that bad." I smile and nudge Ben.

"Okay, but the faster model I pointed out earlier is in first."

"Not for long." I smile, as the one I decided to root for pulls up in to second.

"Oh no, looks like we have some Tusken Raiders!" The announcer reveals there presence and the screen pans to show my pod taking some shots, but zero damage.

"Luvcon is hit!" The announcer yells and the screen moves to show Ben's pod up in smokes, but still hauling. "Now is Korve's turn to take the lead, but Jeept is hot on their tail!" He contuines.

"Hopefully he makes it to the pit stop." Ben says.

"Yeah. The smoke is going to affect him, until he gets fixed."

"And a panel has fallen off of Luvcon and is now heading straight for Jass!"

The crowd gasps as the panel smacks into her pod and rolls over the top and on to her.

The pod drives steady and she shoves it off and gives a quick wave signaling she's fine.

I let out a breath of relief. "Wow my heart is racing and I'm not even out on the track. I just have this weird feeling moving throughout me." I say all giddy to Ben.

"I feel it too." Ben says calmly back with a rather serious tone and face.

Just then a large shadow stalks above the stands. I look up to see a large destroyer.

"Ben." My eyes go wide and he's already pulling me to my feet.

"Come on." He runs, pulling me along, and my feet move automatically. People begin realizing what we have and their panic sets in along with mine.
