"Kid!" I heard Han calling out to me, I placed down my wrench to pop my head out of the engine hole. I have been traveling with Han and Chewy since I was eleven; I guess you can call me his apprentice if scamming people can count as one. I looked up to see Han looking down at me, crossing his arms; such a bitter old man. "I told you to work on the engine."
I lifted my goggles as I looked back to the wires and pipes, "I thought I was." I said, confusing myself. Han let out a frustrated sigh, looking around the rundown ship. Pipes were broken as steam came out of most of them. It made a clanking noise that would bother me every now and then. We got this ship on the cheap side for Han was a genius and lost the Falcon in a bet. I pulled myself out of the hole, gathering my things into my bag.
"This ship is a piece of shit." Han spat, kicking the wall; it cause one of the pipes to break, nearly hitting me in the face. I turned to look at him but before I could say anything back to him; he pointed his finger at me, wiggling it, "Don't bring it up. Don't."
"I won't." I said, throwing the bag over my shoulder. We got out of the ship as I looked around to find Chewy. We had landed in Jakku to do some trades but they all came as a bust where the buyer never showed. "Do you think we can at least get money for this?"
"Doubt it." Han huffed. When he finished speaking, one of the hyperdrives blew out; scaring us both. Han cursed under his breath, walking away from the ship. We went into the market, seeing Chewy talking to people. Chewy saw us, giving us a cry; telling us that we have a chance of getting another ship. My transmitter went off as I pulled it out to see Leia on the other line.
"Hey Leia," I smiled, walking off to the side while Han negotiated the seller.
"Celestia, good; I'm glad you picked up." Leia sighed. I cocked an eyebrow, confused at her statement, "Poe has been captured by the First Order."
"And this concerns me how? Leia, you know how we work; we don't get involved with the Rebels and the First Order." I cracked a side smile. Han didn't want us getting involved because of one person. He blamed himself, everyday it would beat him up. We took on more jobs, more scams to try and get his mind off of it and it tend to work until Leia would try and talk us into working with the Resistance.
"I know that's how you three work but Celestia," Leia began, "He wants to speak to you."
"Fuck no." I laughed, "I'm not going to be your puppet, Leia. You know that I don't want to get involved, especially if it involves him." I felt the anger build up inside me as I tried to bottle him away.
"Celestia, we need our best pilot back. After this, we won't contact you three again." Leia said.
"As much as that sounds appealing," I pointed out, "We don't have a ship."
"What happened to the Falcon?" Leia questioned me, sounding annoyed.
"We kind of....lost it." I dragged out.
Han came over, grabbing the transmitter from me; putting on that sly smile of his as he looked at his wife, "Couldn't get enough of me, sweetheart?"
"You lost the Falcon?" Leia yelled. Han turned to look at me as I hurried away to get near Chewy. Chewy walked me over to a small ship, beaten beyond repair. I let out a sigh, going into the ship as I kicked away garbage and placed my bag by the door. I looked around the ship; seeing pipes being broken as mold started to grow against the wall. What could he want to do with me? No, I can't think about him. I spent years to forget; this isn't going to make me think about him. I went to the engine, opening it up as I placed my goggles on to start fixing the wires.
"Come with me, Celestria." He calmly said, sticking out his hand towards me.
"Asshole." I mumbled. I felt something hit me as I turned to see the transmitter on the floor. Han looked pissed at me, as he leaned against the wall.
"Thanks for ratting me out, kid." He huffed.
"Sorry, didn't know we were going to keep it a secret." I laughed at him, going back to the wires.
"We're going to the base." Han announced. I turned to see him heading into the control panel. I ran after him, placing my hand on his chair; spinning it.
"Wait, why?" I asked, a bit panicked, "You wanted nothing to do with either of them."
"I know kid, but Leia sounded pretty desperate." Han said, turning the chair back around, "Also, Ben won't talk to anyone else but you."
"But I don't want to talk to him!" I yelled, taking off my goggles as we were ready to take off from Jakku. "Can we just get a job from Maz and forget everything happened?"
"No, kid. We can't run from this." Han sternly told me. Chewy yelled at me, telling me I had to do this.
I looked at Chewy disgusted, "Oh please, you have no say in this." I spat at him. I could feel my heart pounding against my ribs as plead Han not to go towards the base, "Han, I don't want to—"
"Kid, you're doing it!" Han yelled, scaring me to the point where I flinched. I backed away from him, leaving the control panel. I pressed my lips together as I kicked some of the garbage on the floor. I couldn't stand still as so many emotions were running through my head.I rested my head against the wall as I shut my eyes. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him. I told myself repeatedly, as I knew we were drawing closer to base.

I got out of the ship to see Leia waiting, opening her arms out to me, "Celestia, you look even more grown." I pushed Leia away as I was pissed at her, pissed at Han too.
"Let's just get this over with." I mumbled, going into the tent to already seeing him on the screen: Kylo Ren. "Give us Poe back."
"You came." He said in his deep altered voice, wearing that black dumb mask of his. I squinted my eyes at him, crossing my arms. I had grease all over my face and my clothes, my goggles were pushed up against my messy pony. I took in a deep breath. "Why do you look annoyed?"
"Are you being serious?" I laughed, having my hand out, "I want nothing to do with your shit, Kylo. You're taking time away from me from doing my job by talking to you over stupid shit."
"Taking you away from scamming?" He said.
"Hey, it's my job. Someone gonna do it." I gave him a smirk. I soon dropped it though, looking annoyed again, "I'm not here to chit chat. Give them back Poe. Let's get this over with."
"No." He stated.
"No?" I questioned, cocking my eyebrow, "Then why the fuck am I here?"
"I wish to speak in person." He demanded.
"Seriously? I don't have tim—" I tried to say before Kylo interrupted me.
"We meet! Or no Poe!" Kylo yelled, scaring everyone in the tent; including myself. My heart was racing as I tried to figure him out. Why did he want to meet in person so bad? What was his deal?
"Is this the only way?"
"Yes." He simply said, causing me to roll my head back; giving off a heavy sigh. "Jakku. Dawn. Alone."
"Fiiiiiine." I dragged out, ending the transmission. I turned to see Leia and Han looking at me. Han had that jackass grin on his face as I flipped him off.
"If there is still any Ben in him, he still likes you." He stated. I walked past Han, bumping into him.
"He isn't Ben." I bluntly said, "He's been dead to me since he joined."
