The Mandalorian had persuaded Rey thrice to give Ben time. She paced. When she couldn't stand it any longer, she exited the Razor Crest. She wasn't sure what she'd expected to see. Ben hadn't been hurt, or she would have felt it.

She found Ben standing over a weapon and a helmet. There was no sign of the Knight. Ben didn't look up when she approached.

"Are you OK?" She touched his arm, and he pulled her against him.

"Yes."

"What happened?"

"Against my better judgement, I let him walk away."

"Why?" She wasn't upset that he had chosen this course, just curious.

"It didn't seem right. I hope I don't regret it later."

"You're a good man, Ben Skywalker."

Ben laughed, though it was harsh and incredulous. "You confuse me with another."

She grabbed his face in both hands and forced him to meet her eyes. "I do not. I mean exactly what I said."

He pressed his lips together, and Rey was shocked to see his eyes brighten. No tears fell, but it looked like he was working to keep it that way.

She softened her grip on his face and brushed the hair away from his forehead. "I've known you as Ben for much longer than you have. I know you are good. And I know you will continue to work to stay that way."

"I don't have the faith you do."

"I'll have faith for you until you find some of your own."

She wrapped her arms around his middle and pulled him close.

"What about the K2s?" said Little Yoda.

Rey smiled and released Ben. He growled, but let her go.

"Let me show you how to do it," she said.

For the rest of the afternoon, Little Yoda sat with her and learned how to do basic reprogramming.

"We can't be wrong," said Rey. "If we make a mistake, they'll attack us when we wake them."

The Mandalorian also listened in on her lesson, but he didn't seem very invested in the process.

"Do you really have room for these on board?" asked Rey. She eyed the Razor Crest skeptically.

"I do," said the Mandalorian. "You take out their murder orders, and I'll find them a place on board."

By the next evening, the K2s were all completely wiped and reset to follow basic verbal commands.

"We'll do a better job at home," said Rey.

Home? Had she ever had a home? Her AT-AT on Jakku hadn't been a home. It had been a safe place, a shelter. The Resistance moved so often that she never fully adjusted to any one location. But Ahch-To? Maybe. Maybe with Ben and the Mandalorian and Little Yoda, it would be a home. Her first.

"Let's go home," said Ben.

Little Yoda's K2 walked toward the ship on his hands. "I did it!"

"He's brilliant," said Rey. She hadn't taught him those commands. She didn't even know they were possible.

"And a little demented," said Ben. "That poor droid."

"It won't be boring," said Rey.

A surprise awaited them when they arrived home. Finn and Rose had arrived a few days before, and Rose was busy making one of the huts into a little home for them. Finn sat with C-3PO, and had already made good progress on learning to communicate with the Caretakers. Rey threw in the towel on that one. She had plenty to do. There was no reason she couldn't delegate some tasks to those better suited to succeed.

Rey stuck her head inside the door of Rose's hut, and received a shouted, "Rey!" and a tight hug in welcome. "We were so worried about you! Finn said you'd be fine, but you never know. I'm so glad you're back."

"Me, too," said Rey.

"How are things going with those Knights of Ren?" asked Rose.

"Sorry about the one who crashed your wedding," said Rey. "They're all taken care of now."

"Oh good," said Rose. "When will you start teaching Finn? I can't wait to see what you guys can do! It's going to be so great."

Rey had never had a cheerleader, either. Now she had a cheerleader living at her home. Leia had been supportive and encouraging, but nothing matched Rose's genuine excitement.

When Rey returned to her hut, she found Finn and Ben outside, wrestling a huge mattress through the front door.

"Where did that come from?" said Rey.

"Poe sent it for you," said Finn.

"Poe is very considerate," said Ben. "That little cot would not do."

Her little cot now sat outside of the hut. It did look small and sad compared to the huge mattress.

"I don't think it's going to work," said Rey.

"Oh yes it is," said Ben. "We're going to make it work. I don't like the way you feel when you haven't slept well."

"How far does this weird sharing thing go?" said Finn.

Rey opened her mouth to speak, but Finn dropped his end of the mattress and threw up his hands. "Forget I said that! I regret my actions. I do NOT want to know anything about it. Never mind. I forgot I can't just ask you two normal questions like normal people."

"Right now it's just pain," said Ben, an evil grin on his face. "But I have high hopes that it will develop further into other physical experiences. Imagine the possibilities."

Finn picked up his end of the mattress and shoved so hard Ben disappeared through the doorway.

"I can't stand him," said Finn.

"I know," said Rey. "I think you'll be the best of friends. In time."

"Master Rey?" called C-3PO. "May I be of any assistance? I'm told by the little one that there are droids in need of new programming. I thought I could start them on the task of clearing rocks off of the most used paths on the island."

"On their hands," said Little Yoda, stepping out from behind him. "Can you walk on your hands, C?"

"Like I told you, Master Yoda, I am called C-3PO. And no, I cannot walk on my hands."

"Are you sure?" said Rey. "The K2 didn't know it could either until recently."

"Oh, my," said C-3PO. "I think I hear Mistress Rose calling." He turned toward Rose's hut. "Ah, yes. She is calling for me. Excuse me." He beelined for the cottage, leaving Little Yoda with Rey.

"This is gonna be great," said Little Yoda.

"Yes, it is."
