Despite the losses, the First Order has lost its major base and super weapon, Starkiller. The fallen pilots would be remembered in the history of the New Republic with honor. In the headquarters of the Resistance based in D'Qar there was one more reason to celebrate. The droid R2-D2 has come back from his hibernation and, helped by BB-8, set up the map that General Leia Organa has been looking for in the imperial archives: the location of Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master, her brother and last chance of victory.
Cheers and hugs filled the hall with hope for a better future. People of all races and assembly lines interact sharing happiness. Rey has never felt so positive energy as at that moment. Her heart was beating hard at the thought that she would know a Jedi, the legendary Skywalker. She has become part of the legend, and could feel the Force surrounding her. She received a long embrace from a weeping Leia, in tears of bliss and sorrow at the same time.
“I knew I would find him. I can feel, he is alive. Bring him to me, my girl.”
The chain of hugs kept on with C-3PO and R2-D2. When Rey would hug BB-8, she received another hug from some human. A pilot taller than her, and strong. He smelled softly like machine and smoke, but far from unpleasant. It reminded her of the comfort of home, she has never been hugged like that. The eyes were watering, then she was released. She remained quiet with a half smile and a lost gaze downwards.
“Hi! We haven’t been introduced yet. I’m Poe.” the voice came from that one who was still there.
Rey raised her head to find his face and liked what she saw. The brunette pilot smiled friendly. She delayed a second to answer him.
“Poe, Poe Dameron? I recognize the name, BB-8 talked about you. My name is Rey.”
“I know. Our little friend here told me about you. How you saved him more than once, faced many things, decided to come with Finn bringing him to us in safety. I have to thank you. Count on me for anything. Nice to meet you, Rey.”
Rey, blushing, thanked him with a large smile. With it she remained until Poe vanished among the crowd.
