After the brief meeting at the falcon, Ben's old friend had showed them rooms. Everyone was getting unpacked, except Rey and Ben who stayed behind to continue chatting with Jorimine. Rey just stayed by Be n's side while he was catching up with his friend. When they had reached a stopping point Rey had finally decided to intervene. "Hello, my name is Rey Skywalker. I am Ben Solo's girlfriend, also grey jedi knight. One of the main reasons we decided to come here is because we understand you have working transmitters, and a fair supply of medical supplies. May I ask permission to use some of your medical equipment, please. It's urgent." Ben had translated what Rey had said and the old ewok looked like he was considering it. After a couple minutes had passed of Jorimine thinking, he had come to the  conclusion that they could have full access to anywhere on site. When Ben translated what he said he blushed, "he said we can have full access anywhere, because any friend of Ben Solo's is a friend of mine." But the conversation shifted when Jorimine asked "chirp chirp, Han Leia Solo, squawk, squek". Both looked at their feet before Ben decided to break the news.

Bellan was deep in thought while unpacking. She couldn't stop herself from wondering who the young woman was who helped them escape, who saved Finn. She wanted to ask Rey but it was never the right time, she always ended up pushing the urge to ask her away, "well not this time" she thought. She finished putting away the few items she had managed to collect before leaving Ahch-to, and the clothes she was given when she arrived on the planet. The clothing here was either green, black or a combination of both. She changed her clothes into the light black small off the shoulders shirt, a dark green jacket and dark green pants with brown boots up to her little knees. She left the room, slamming the door behind her. She saw Rey, Ben, and an ewok in the distance. She didn't care what they were talking about, she needed answers, and she wanted to know why her memory was so foggy. She walked up to Rey who walked outside and sat on a little bench with Ben throwing his arms around the ewok and Rey. Bellan walked towards them cautiously, and asked "what's going on" in a cheerful voice. When Rey looked up at Bellan, her whole face was red from crying to much and she still had tears falling out of her eyes. Bellan squeezed in by Rey, "maybe this really wasnt a good time" she thought. Bellan hugged her master very tightly as Rey cried into her small shoulder. She put a hand on Ben's shoulder and he looked up at her, about to cry. The ewok was leaning on Ben who was leaning on Rey who was leaning on Bellan. She didn't know what they were crying about, but she did know there was no way should would get answers now.

Rey finally calmed down and so did the ewok. Ben never cried, no matter what he wouldn't let himself show tears. He had only cried once before in his life, when his mother and father shipped him away to his uncle. All of his thinking was cut off when Rey kissed him on the cheek. "Remember, Kylo ren did that stuff, and your not Kylo ren anymore" she whispered in his ear. Bellan had already left and the Ewok was called over by his friends or something so he had leave as well. Rey stood up next to Ben and said "come on, we have a friend to surprise." Both of them trotted down to Gio's room. *knock knock knock*
Gio answered and raised his eyebrows in curiosity. "Hey Gio, we need a huge favor."

Asa was done packing and laid on the bed next to Amer who she had carried in from the falcon. Until she heard a knock on the door and got up to answer it. She kissed her sister on the forehead and opened the door. "Hello I am your nurse, Dr. Ginnos and I will be preforming you and your sisters surgery today." Asa was so confused. "What surgery, I'm okay for the time being" she said to him. Suddenly Rey and Ben jumped out and yelled "SURPRISE your getting new hands!" Ben grabbed her arm and lead her to the nurses office. Rey held Amer and carried her behind her following Ben and Asa.

"So, once I have my arms back am I going to begin my training, right" asked Asa to Ben. He nodded. Asa couldn't help but wonder about the mysterious man's past. Why is he so quiet? Why does he never talk about his past to anyone but Rey? What's even going on with him and Rey? She had to many questions to just ignore them all. "Sooooooo, now that you know I'm good could you tell me one thing." He looked at her light purple face and nodded. "We're you the kylo ren. I must know." He looked at his feet and sighed but then he opened his mouth and began to say "yes I was. I was the former supreme leader of the first order, former sith lord, former knight of ren, former jedi, and now I'm a grey jedi in a dyad in the force with Rey, 2 tht are one, she is also a grey jedi knight." The was way more of an answer then she was expecting. She didn't even know what half of it was, like a grey jedi, and a dyad in the force, a knight of ren. It was like a whole different  language that no one understood except him. She wanted to say something to him, but he already beat her to it. "Right this way please" he said leading her in room number one of the enfermery. Gio had already been there preparing a glass of water. "Have a seat please Asa, and we will begin" said Gio. Asa took a seat on the long big blue chair as Gio handed her the glass of water and a small pill. "It will knock you out just long enough for me to finish the process of giving you new hands, don't worry its perfectly safe." She swallowed the pill and became dizzier and dizzier. The last thing she saw before she passed out was Rey and Amer coming in the room, and Rey laying Amer on the seat next to hers. It was the first time Amer had smiled at her in a month.

5 hours later:
"Whoa, what is this place. Is THAT! KYLO REN!" Asa was in a dark and red room staring at the Kylo ren sitting in an unusually large thrown, she was bowing before him. She got up to look at herself, she was in a white tunic with a brown belt holding a blaster and 2 blue light sabers. She also had white pants and brown boots with 3 buns in her hair and she had a whitish skin tone with 2 long white sheets hanging by her legs. She was no longer herself, just a girl that kind of reminded her of Rey but just... younger. "Where am i, who am i, who are you?" she asked Kylo who was standing up. He slowly walked towards her and replied "your on the first order finalizer on Exogal, I am Supreme leader Kylo ren. And you are my new apprentice... Rey." Asa was stunned, she wasn't scared or intimidated she just wanted answers. "What happened between you and Re- I mean me. What happened between you and me?" she asked him again feeling a little guilty about how bad she was taking advantage of him. He started to smile as he said "were a dye in the force Rey, 2 the are one. When we touched hands on Ahch-to I saw you and me ruling the galaxy together, I was correct. I killed my master for you and we took the thrown. Now I know the reason why we could see each other from across the galaxy and touch each other and even feel each others pain and suffering, and even our loneliness. It's because we're not just a dyad, we're the dyad that will bring peace to the galaxy and a new order to the galaxy, you joined me Rey." Asa wanted answers and she got them. She was a little overwhelmed, it wasn't a vision or a flashback it was like some sort of, changed reality from another universe or something. It wasn't real but this wasn't just some dream, it was trying to tell her something. She knew she always looked up to the almighty Kylo ren but she never felt like this before. Suddenly she was off the ship and now in Rey other clothes from a more recent time. She was on a planet with walls around it covered in snow. Whatching  a family being torn apart by some metal stormtroopers, metal troopers. She moved away on to the planet they were on right now in a lush green canopy she saw a ship land and a women with black hair in a white jumpsuit come out and hug Finn, Poe, and Rey. She shifted again but this time it was blurry. When her sight finally cleared she realised she wasn't in Rey body anymore, she saw Ben and Rey asleep next to each other in chairs beside the table she laid on. She wasn't dreaming, she had awoken from surgery.

Rey had fallen asleep in Bents arms within 2 hours of the surgery. Go was still hard at work when they both woke up. Asa was blinking rapidly and Rey jumped off of Ben startled and put a hand on Asa's arm. Ben was still partially asleep due to it being 4 A.M but Rey was completely awake with excitment of her recovery. Rey poked at Asa's new right hand and she flinched. She looked over and Gio was still working on Amer's legs. She noticed Rey hadn't given her hands. "Why doesn't she have new arms to?" Asa asked Rey. Rey looked down before saying "well the only reason your getting hands is because you have proven yourself worthy of them, but Amer never proved herself of anything yet. We will give her a chance to but if she attacks us or even trys to kill one of us then... then.. she will be eliminated immediately." Asa looked terrified hearing these words. But nodded understanding it would be necessary. "Now you better stay here and rest until morning, you'll need to be nice and rested for your first day, you to Gio ill see you out there at 9:00 sharp" Rey said as she dragged Ben out the door. Ben fell as he was walking, he was to tired to even stand. She rolled her eyes and carried him into his bedroom right next to hers. Compared to thin little Amer, carrying him felt like dragging a 1,000 pound elephant with you. She opened his door and placed him on the bed. "I'll be right next door if you need me, goodnight Ben" she whispered. But she stopped and fell back down on the bed because Ben pulled her arm back. He mumbled something that sounded like stay. She didn't like it but she had no choice so she got settled under the covers next to him and went back to sleep.
