A DYAD IN THE FORCE

HOW TROS SHOULD HAVE ENDED

(a fanfic about Rey and Ben)

Back to Exogol, after the kiss and Ben falling down:

Rey sustained her look in shock, not looking away from Ben. This couldn’t be. This just couldn’t be. It wasn’t right. He couldn’t be dead. A loud noise, a noise she recognized, woke her up for a moment. The sound of a X-Wing that just landed somewhere near. She ignored the sound of someone running towards her and held on to Ben Solo’s hand. “Rey!”, Poe Dameron shouted. She turned around to meet his desperate gaze. “You’re alive. I knew it! You have to come, it’s Finn. I need help. He needs help. Come, this way!”. But she remained there, eyes confused and hurt. Poe looked again and saw the man in her arms, the pale and lifeless figure. No one knew what Kylo Ren looked like behind the mask. Poe had no idea who that was. “Look, I assume he means something to you, it’s none of my business, but he’s gone, Rey. Finn is still alive, for now. Finn can live. You have to come. He needs us. He needs you, his friend.” Rey looked again to Ben’s face, warm tears rolling down, kissed his forehead and whispered: “I will not leave you here. You’ll never be alone. Not as long as I’m here. I’ll come back for you, Ben.” She than stood up and followed Poe.

...

She came back running as if her life depended on it, running to find Ben. But he wasn’t there. He wasn’t where she left him. He was nowhere to be found.

Last Scene:

Walking on the sands of Tatooine followed by BB-8, Rey continued her way towards a place once was Luke Skywalker’s house. She carried Luke’s lightsaber as well as Leia’s one. She needed them to be where they belong. The land of its owners, the land of the origin of the Skywalkers, where Anakin was born. She wrapped them together and hid them in the sand near by the house. An old lady passed by and asked who she was, since no one has been seen around there in so many years. She replied, looking at Leia’s and Luke’s ghosts : “I’m Rey Skywalker”. As she was walking away, back to her ship, she stopped to admire the beautiful sunset of two suns, BB-8 on her side. There, somewhere in the horizon, she saw a figure. As it was getting closer, it looked more like a man in a robe. A tall man in a dark brown robe. When he was close enough, he revealed himself. Raven long untaimed hair, long nose and deep hazel eyes. And a smirk. When he saw her eyes brighten and blink in a pure reflection of her unique self, the light, the girl he knew like the palm of his hand, he opened a smile. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Ben was standing there. Ben was alive. BB-8 looked at her, than back at him, than back at Rey. He said something to her. Rey replied “It’s alright, BB-8. He’s someone we trust. You will like him. Eventually.” Rey than started walking in Ben’s direction. Ben was already walking to her. But she couldn’t wait another second. She started running. He opened his arms and she crushed onto his chest, hugging him. He chuckled and plaid with her buns. She let go of the hug and cupped his face and started: “Ben, I shouldn’t have left you. I had..” . “I know.” he simply replied, taking in every feature of her face. “There are so many things I want to tell you, and I have so many questions.”, she said. “So do I.” he replied “But we have time. First, where is that droid going?” He said. “Oh, he’s probably going back to the ship. I think he’s scared of you. Of who you used to be.” “Yeah, well, I’ll give him time, I wasn’t the best person ever, so...” “No, you weren’t. But you are okay now.” Rey replied, with a smile so big her dimples made it impossible to Ben to ever look away. “So, where to now?” , he asked. “We’re going somewhere?”, she asked. “I don’t like sand.”, Ben stated . “Somewhere with water. And a forest. I like seeing green.” Rey said. “Before I sensed you here, in Tatooine, something was calling me to a planet I believe is Naboo. I feel I have a family connection there. And it fits your requirements. I think my mom said something about it once, when I was a kid.” - Ben. “Sounds good to me.” - Rey. “And I have to work on this” Ben said, revealing a crystal hidden in his pocket. “I need a new lightsaber”. Rey never felt happier in her life. He was Ben again. Everything she ever wanted was this. Him back as his true self, a Skywalker. “You have to work on it.” She chuckled. He got closer to her and placed one hand on her chin and the other on her waist “Yes, ‘mam.” And with that, he kissed her on the lips. She felt the electricity, the rush, the love, the care, the wanting. But above all, the peace. The balance. And happiness. True happiness. When he pulled away, she pecked his lips in a way he felt would become something they would do for the rest of theirs lives. As they were walking towards the ship, he stopped and said “I almost forgot: Rey, I want you to join me” he said, offering his hand. This time she took it.

has this been done yet? probably.
