ben winced, patting off the flour from his black sweater. the pie baking contest was a disaster resulting in ben, yet again, losing his temper and screaming at a food processor. the pie on this planet was palatable, to say the least. they definitely weren’t as good the blumfruit tarts his father would bring him from endor, but they were fine all the same.
life in arlington had been mundane, he couldn’t feel anyone through the force like he did when he was alive. he usually attributed this to some sort of punishment for the planets he destroyed as kylo ren, but hey, at least this version of hell had food he could actually swallow.
skulking through the streets, he made his way to the fairgrounds to observe the festivities when he felt a sudden pull in the force. it was faint. had he been imagining it? shaking his head, he followed this feeling to a small grass clearing where a familiar voice could be heard.
the woman’s back was turned to him, but he knew. gently, he reached over to touch her shoulder, his fingers brushing against her dark hair. it was her. it was really her.
STANDING AT THE BOOTH THAT WAS ASSIGNED TO HER, rey stood over two individuals who were arm wrestling. such a strange concept. surely there were other ways to have f u n. shaking her head slowly, concentrating as to not get distracted by anything in the crowd. that was how it was here, in arlington, things were SO DIFFERENT. everything was different from her life back with her family. not her true family, a family she made on her journey to becoming a jedi knight.
soon, both were done, red in the face from all the struggling they had to do. clapping her hands together, ready for a BREAK. at first, rey couldn’t feel that pull. the same feelings she got when there was someone else connected to the force. who was there ?? head was turning around slowly, looking among those in the crowd. not finding h i m, at first, turning her whole body to look around.
seeing ben, rey froze, eyes were growing wider and wider. breath was caught in her throat as she watched him. confused expression on her face as to HOW he was here. how had come back to life ?? ben solo had done something GREAT before he had slipped away. rey had felt the force slip away from his body. ben was gone. a world without kylo ren and essentially ben. lips curved down as her legs started to move automatically towards the other. not sure what was going to happen at this point. what would he say ?? what would they do ?? how were they both going to feel about what happened ?? all of it was UNKNOWN.
