Absolutely blown away by the response that this fanfic has gotten. Shoutout to 3nchilada and Finn for the reviews. Thanks y'all.

So let's get on with the story!


It was official.

He was a failure.

Finn stared sightlessly at the expanse of sand all around him, the heat waves rising repeatedly. Funny, the one time he decided to do good once and he ended up stranded on a desert, Poe the man he risked everything to rescue swallowed by the sand.

He was hopeless.

This whole situation was hopeless.

'Shit,' he swore. He needed to get to civilization soon if he wanted to have any chance of staying alive.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally made it to civilization and managed to find water although it was a watering hole for wild stock, he was still ever so grateful.

Looking up, he noticed the droid that Poe was talking about, the droid that Poe risked their lives by returning to Jakku for.

His eyes looked around and then saw her.

She looked like a desert Goddess, the way the sun seemed to close around her. She carried herself with a certain regal beauty, and her eyes were the eyes of someone who went through hardship on a daily basis but still carried on.

Finn was absolutely fixed.

Then he noticed the thugs trying to steal the droid from her and grab her.

Feeling a sense of righteousness, Finn quickly got up to help but clearly she didn't need any help. He stared with awe, as she singlehandedly and effortlessly took down the thugs with her staff. She had a few words with the droid before she turned around and looked at Finn. Their eyes locked and Finn felt a shiver go though him, those eyes were steely cold, and they certainly promised pain.

She started walking towards him, Finn knew she meant business. She had taken out those guys with ease, he did not need an ass kicking today. He turned and ran, running past stalls constantly looking behind him to be sure she wasn't following and just when he thought he was safe, he turned and whack.

Next thing he knew, he was on the ground, his head dizzy and there she stood in front of him. She was beauty personified. Finn knew she was something special, it was one of those moments when you look into someones eyes and know that happiness and true love is what you'll get. He didn't know it yet but he head over heels in love with this girl.


Somehow he always remembers this. He and Rey running from Kylo on the starkiller planet. He knows this is a dream, cause he's been stuck here repeatedly. It always ends the same way. They flee, Kylo catches them, Rey tries to shoot him and gets force pushed on to a tree. That feeling of bile rising up his throat at Rey's no his Rey's prone body lying there, unmoving.

He feels the fear running through his veins as he fights Kylo. He feels so many feelings, anger, fear but some voice deep inside him tells him to be calm, to find peace. He struggles with that, each time failing and this dream always ends the same way. He makes a wrong move, and Kylo slashes his back. The pain that burns throughout his body is nothing compared to the disappointment and regret of letting Rey down and not being able to save her.

He knows there is no way out of this nightmare but being able to find peace and defeat Kylo in his dreams. Until then, he knows there's no way out of this hell and has to relive the pain and disappointment.


Luke opens his eyes from his meditations.

'The boy can never finish his trial and awaken from his sleep if he is unable to calm himself down and find peace with the Force.' thought Luke to himself.

He moves his gaze to Reyna training with the training droid, she reflects each bolt effortlessly and with ease.

'The girl's link with the force is amazing, her skill with the lightsaber increases daily. But her tendency to rely on the dark side of the Force scares me.' ponders Luke.

'She is strong, her will is strong but how long until she breaks and falls? I have to ensure that never happens. Not like Ben, not like Ben.' he reflects to himself.

Rey takes off the helmet and looks at Luke expectantly, the smile on her face big. 'How did I do?' she asks excitedly.

"Amazing, well done Rey. Perfect score. Now take some time to meditate and reflect on your performance.'

Rey scowls at that but nods and goes to sit and meditates.

'Master Yoda, I need your guidance. Master Ben, Father, I have never needed your help anymore so then I do now.'

None of them appear. Luke sighs and continues meditating, hoping for the best, that his new talented padawan doesn't fall to the Dark side of the Force, not knowing that somewhere across the Galaxy, a Sith Lord smiles to himself and begins plans to recruit this new potential Sith lord.
