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
offering to fly in case she was tired Poe said following his droid Rose closed the hatch after shooing in a few of the porgs that had taken up residence in the Falcon so they wouldn't be left on Fermic and turned to Rey Do you think we'll have any trouble on the way back Rose asked As usual the mechanic's expression hovered somewhere between worried and thoughtful Rey hadn't known Rose very long The first time Rey had seen Rose she'd been unconscious knocked out during the fight on Crait But since then Rey had worked with Rose quite a bit and Rey had found her to be a really nice person Rey could tell that Rose cared about others deeply She was always offering to share her meager rations or let someone take a nap on her cot She was just a very considerate person Rey shook her head in response to Rose's query It seems like the First Order hasn't made it to this part of the galaxy just yet We'll clear the atmosphere and jump to hyperspace as soon as possible That should help us avoid any trouble Rose nodded Good Trouble is definitely something we don't need I wish Finn and Chewie were here They'd be great Not that you aren't great that is But Finn and Chewie would also be great and well you know what I mean STAR WARS
Rey grinned and nodded I miss Finn and Chewie too she said knowing exactly what Rose meant Rose blushed a little One of the porgs chirruped loudly a sound somewhere between a trill and a scream and landed on Rose's head She waved it away Not now Dita I'll give you snacks later Dita Rey asked glancing at the porg as it chewed at Rose's pant leg Yes I've named them all Dita Tessalie Jord At Rey's incredulous look Rose's voice trailed off and she blushed deeper in embarrassment So about Finn and Chewie You think they're back from delivering that bacta Poe and Finn got from Tevel yet Rey shrugged I don't know I hope so We have a lot of work to do if we want to stop the First Order and the sooner everyone is back the sooner we can get started Supplies are important but so is stopping the First Order from hurting anyone else Rose nodded Agreed But it's hard to fight when you're hungry and you only have an old Corellian freighter Hey that's my ship you're talking about Rose laughed and patted the wall of the Falcon A few more porgs scattered at the sound running deeper into the holds It's a good ship but we'll need a fleet to take on the First Order Anyway I'm sure General Organa has SPARK OF THE RESISTANCE
