CHAPTER 1 HEY HOW MANY MORE are there Rey called from inside the Millennium Falcon Large cargo crates were stacked tightly in the Falcon's hold and as the service droids loaded the containers containers the orange-and-white astromech BB-8 rolled around them beeping encouragement and helpful instructions instructions As the droids settled the crates Rey strapped them down a precautionary measure in case things shifted during flight They never knew when they were going to have to fight for their lives It was good to be prepared For the past few days Rey Rose Tico and Poe Dameron had been gathering supplies for the Resistance They'd traveled all over the Outer Rim avoiding the First Order
as much as possible and although they'd had a few near misses they'd made it safely to Fermic a factory planet with air that stank of the nearby fuel refineries Thankfully this was their last stop Chewie and Finn had been on a similar assignment of their own and Rey looked forward to getting the supplies back to the Resistance and seeing her friends again There was so much work to do especially especially if they were going to stop the First Order And Rey was ready to get down to business That's the last of them Rose called from the bottom bottom of the boarding ramp BB-8 rolled toward her and then back up the ramp ahead of her beeping happily to welcome the Resistance mechanic aboard Relief began to overwhelm Rey but she quashed the feeling Their supply supply run had gone without incident and that was always something to be happy about But there was still a long road ahead of them Rey felt like every moment that ticked by was another chance for Kylo Ren and the First Order to expand their influence and soon there would be very little left of the galaxy that hadn't been conquered by the relentless faction She couldn't rest just yet There was still so much work to do So should I fly Poe asked returning from the cockpit He gave Rey a winning smile and she grinned STAR WARS
back She had to admire his persistence He'd been trying trying to take the pilot's seat since they'd set out but the Millennium Falcon was hers for now and she would fly it even if Poe was determined to try out the controls of the legendary ship Maybe she would let him fly after they got back to the rendezvous point Maybe No but you can sit in the copilot seat if you want Rey said sweetly I'm always happy to have someone so capable navigate At Poe's near pout she smiled I like flying flying but if I need your help I will most definitely ask She didn't want to hurt Poe's feelings She just wanted to fly I like flying too Poe mumbled but he didn't argue BB-8 gave a series of beeps and Poe scowled at him It's not my fault the First Order blew up my ship Poe exclaimed It's just one of those things that keeps happening happening Seriously I wasn't even in my ship the last time it got blown up It's just rotten luck It was a familiar argument Rey suspected BB-8 kept bringing up Poe's blasted ships as a way of having a little fun at his expense and she thought it was rather funny Apparently Poe didn't BB-8 beeped back and rolled past Poe into the Falcon I wasn't saying she isn't a good pilot Beebee I was SPARK OF THE RESISTANCE
