"Solo, why are we here again?" Adam asks, following Han and Aurora down to the village with Finn and Rey following behind.

"To get your droid on a clean ship," 

"Clean?" Rey asks. 

Aurora and Han stop outside the building, Aurora glancing down at BB-8 before looking back between them as she answers, "Adam, Finn and I are all fugitives, we need to split up, get BB-8 on a clean ship to the Resistance and we find a different way there." 

"Also, you think it was luck that Chewie and I found the Falcon?" Han added, "If we can find it on our scanners, the First Order's not far behind." 

The group continued to walk into the building as Finn nervously looked around, "We can trust whoever this is, right?" 

"Relax kid," Han turns to him, "She has ran this watering hole for a thousand years. Max has a little acquired taste, so let me do the talking and whatever you do, don't stare." 

"At what?" Finn, Adam and Rey asks simultaneously.

Aurora glances over her shoulder at them, "Any of it." 

The room was packed with different life forms. Most drinking and laughing, whilst others danced, sang or gambled their fortunes. But it all stopped once they had walked in, all eyes staring at them as they walked further into the large room. 

"Han Solo!" 

"Oh boy," Han muttered making Aurora chuckle slightly as Maz walked towards them, pushing her way through the crowd, "Hey Maz!" 

Adam and Finn share a look before looking down at the small orange woman; goggles on her head, dressed in a brown tunic type thing with a belt around her waist. They watched as Maz looked between the group.

"Where is my boyfriend?" She asks. 

"Chewie's working on the Falcon-"

"Aroura, my darling," Maz beams, gesturing for her to give her a hug, "Give me a cuddle, its been too long." 

Aurora smile, kneeling down to give the woman a hug whilst Rey leans closer to Han, "Is she-"

"Always like this?" Han finished the question before nodding, "Yes." 

Aurora stood, bending slightly as Maz took her hand and guides her through the crowd, Han and the others following. They all sat at a circular table in the corner, away from everyone, BB-8 beside Aurora and Han on the other side of her. 

"A map?" Maz asks, humming as she glances down at BB-8 who beeped and Maz nodded again, "To Skywalker himself? You are right back in the mess." 

"Maz, I need you to get this droid to Leia," Han says, "Aurora too, they need to be on a clean ship-"
