(A/N: {10/07/2023} I apologize for not updating my story for a very, very long. I lost motivation in writing it after watching TROS and was a little depressed with what they did to Ben Solo and I kept thinking my story wasn't good enough, even though I have written down notes for each chapter. Plus, I was more focused on writing and finishing up my Johnny Depp Imagines book. But now, I'm back onboard with writing my story again and I'm so excited to do this. Thank you all so much for your patience and your love for my story.)

*Third Person's POV*

"Who are you?" Kylo asked. "I'm (y/n) (y/l/n) and I live here. Now tell me what's going on or you'll get a good swinging with my bat." (y/n) demanded, clenching hard on the bat. Rey, Finn, and Poe looked at each other, knowing they've been busted since they were intending to get BB-8 and leave without being seen. They didn't even know that they were going to get confronted by Kylo Ren and General Hux. Both groups didn't know what to do as they all stood there, with their weapons still up.

"So who talks first? Should I talk first?" Poe questioned Rey and Finn, while he still had his blaster pointing at Kylo and General Hux. "Actually, we should talk first." Kylo protested. "What makes you think you have the right to talk first?" Finn asked. "Because we stand above than you three pathetic scums." General Hux sneered. "That's no excuse, General Hugs." Poe insulted the general. With that, both enemies began to argue of who should explain first, with (y/n), stilling holding up her baseball bat, looking down at BB-8. The frightened droid beeped frantically as if he was wanting it to stop before things got worse. (y/n) nodded down at him before looking at the five strangers in front of her.

"Hey! You guys! Stop!" You tried to get everyone's attention, but they didn't seem to hear you. "Hey!!" (y/n) yelled, capturing everyone's attention. "It doesn't matter who speaks first. What I kindly like for everyone to do is stop arguing and put away your weapons. Then, I would like to know who you all are, why you all are here in my apartment." She said, before she looked at the unharmed opened door. "And how you got inside without breaking my door." She added.

Afterwards, every single person put away their weapons, even though it was clear that they didn't want them put away as both groups glared at each other. Even (y/n) lowered her bat down, but still kept in her hand in case things escalated again. "Thank you. Now, and it doesn't matter who answers first, can one of you please explain to me what's going on here?" (y/n) questioned. After a short silence and both enemies glancing at each other, hesitating of who was going to speak first, Rey finally had the courage to say something.

"I'm Rey and this is Finn and Poe." She said, gesturing to the two gentlemen in between her. They both gave the Earthling girl a quick nod. "We're from the Resistance and we've come here to get BB-8." She explained. (y/n) looked down at BB-8 and, then, she looked back up. "He belongs to you three?" (y/n) questioned. "He's actually my droid." Poe stepped in. "Oh, nice. It's so nice to meet BB-8's owner." (y/n) exclaimed. Poe chuckled and said, "I hope he wasn't any trouble to you, um, (y/n)." "Oh, no. Not at all. He's been very good to me after I saved him from Paul and his stupid friends." (y/n) said, kneeling down at BB-8 level and patted his metal head, making BB-8 beep, happily. "You saved him?" Rey questioned. "Who's Paul and his stupid friends?" Finn asked.

Then, someone cleared their throat, making (y/n), Rey, Finn, and Poe look towards Kylo and General Hux, who looked annoyed. "Don't we get a chance to say something too?" Kylo spoke. "Oh, yeah. Go ahead." (y/n) responded, while she stood up. "I'm Kylo Ren, the Supreme Leader of the First Order and this is General Hux." "General Armitage Hux." General Hux corrected, which made Kylo glare at him for a moment before he continued on. "And we're here to settle this once and for all with those three." He finished and looked at the Resistance trio. "Yeah, sure. Like we'll let that happen, Ren!" Finn said, and, then, both enemies were about to draw out their weapons.

"Ah! Don't take out your weapons!" (y/n) called out, making everyone stop and put away their weapons as they were told to do. "None of you are gonna start a war in here. It's my place and—" She said, and, then, a slight growl from her stomach interrupted her. "You know what? I have an idea." She added before she took out her cell phone.

Everyone was confused on what she was doing since they never seen a cell phone before. "What is she doing?" Rey asked, quietly. "I think she's calling someone of authority." Poe guessed. "She better not be calling for backup." General Hux added. (y/n) turned to them since she could hear them and said, while dialing the phone number, "I'm not calling 'someone of authority' or 'backup'. I'm just ordering some pizza. One, I'm hungry, especially after playing a lot with BB-8. Two, judging by how you all are acting, I can tell you all haven't eaten in a while. I think eating something will help calm everybody down, especially for those who have anger problems."

When she mentioned the last part, Kylo was easily offended because he thought she was referring to him. "I do not have anger problems!" He said, angrily. Everyone, including General Hux, glared at him after he denied his anger problems. Kylo looked at Rey, Finn, and Poe before he turned to General Hux, who gave him the 'well, it's true' look. Kylo gave him a warning expression before he looked away from the redhead general.

As soon as (y/n) got ahold of someone from a local pizza place, she started ordering a couple of large pizzas. Both enemies were completely confused on what pizza was since it doesn't exist from their world. "What is this pizza?" Poe whispered, and Rey and Finn shrugged their shoulders. While (y/n) was finishing up the order, she gestured everyone to take a seat anywhere in the living. Both groups hesitated, but they eventually started finding a spot to sit, slowly. Rey, Finn, and Poe kept a close eye on Kylo and General Hux to make sure neither of them weren't going to sneak attack them, while The First Order duo were doing the same thing. (y/n) even kept an eye on the two groups to make sure they weren't going to start a fight while she was on the phone. Rey and the others sat on the bigger living room couch, while Kylo and General Hux sat on the small futon couch.

After placing the pizza order for delivery, (y/n) set her cell phone on the counter, grabbed a chair from the dining room table, and set it in the middle of the living room to sit in between the two enemy groups. She sat down and said, calmly, "While we wait for dinner to arrive and also to keep you all from fighting and destroying my place, I think this will be the perfect opportunity to know who you all are and where you came from and what you have against each other. It doesn't matter who speaks, I just want some answers."

*(y/n)'s POV*

For the next two and a half hours, I listened to the two groups explain everything to me, while I ate my slice of pizza. Apparently, these five individuals, including BB-8, are from another part of a galaxy far, far away from Earth. At first, I didn't find it believable, but eventually, I was convinced that it was true from what each of them had told me. After all, it made sense of where BB-8 came from when I found him the other day and how these individuals had gotten here to find him, except Kylo and General Hux.

During the time they were talking, each of them were confused on how to eat their slice of pizza until I showed them how to eat it. Most of them were fascinated by a food they've never had or heard of before and they enjoyed it as I could tell how fast they were eating it and wanting another slice. With General Hux, on the other hand, he only had one slice and was eating it, slowly, as if he was disgusted by it and being careful of not getting poisoned. At the same time, both groups were still glaring at each other with hatred in their eyes.

"So let me review all of this. You all come from a different part of the galaxy, where you travel through space and you all are at war with each other, as I have been noticing you all glaring at each other and wanting to fight. You three are part of a military-like movement called 'The Resistance', while you two are part of the opposing movement called 'The First Order'." I said, and everyone nodded, in unison. "And you all got here for different reasons. You three came here for BB-8 and you two came here to confront Rey, Finn, and Poe." "Originally, we thought this was their new Resistance Base. But confronting them was a better idea." Kylo said. Rey, Finn, and Poe got tense for a moment, but I looked at them and they immediately calmed down.

"Do you believe everything all of us had mentioned, (y/n)?" Rey asked. I nodded and answered, "Yes, I do believe everything. I mean, it all makes sense ever since I found BB-8. You mentioned the Millennium Falcon and I remembered seeing that same name on the escape pod, BB-8 is a droid, the confusion of your surroundings here, the weapons, how you all dress, and how both you enemies want to fight so badly. Also, how did you get in here without damaging my front door?" I asked. "Rey used the Force to open the door without you hearing us come in." Poe answered. "What's the Force?" I questioned. "It's a powerful energy field that gives to those who have it different abilities, such as moving objects." Rey explained. "So like telekinesis?" I asked. "Um, yeah. Kind of like that" "I have the Force too." Kylo added. "No one cares about you having the Force." Finn sneered. When I saw Kylo, he looked angry and moved his hand up as if he was holding a cup. It didn't look like a good sign if he had the Force, so I quickly put my hand up and gestured him to stop, which he did, thankfully.

"Look, (y/n), we only came here just to get BB-8 and we need to go back to the Resistance." Finn started to say. "Not before we follow all three of you and we'll find out where your actual new base is located." Kylo told him. "We can't take the risk of leaving here now that those two are here and they could follow or attack us at any moment." Rey pointed out.

Then, an idea popped into my head. "Why don't you all stay here for the night?" I suggested. Everyone turned towards me and looked at me as if I was crazy or something. "I get that you all don't along. But maybe staying here for the night might calm things down between you guys. Plus, I'm sure you all are exhausted from your very long journey here." I explained more. "There's no way I'm not staying here or let alone sleep here with those two around." Finn said. "I agree. I can't trust either one of them." Poe agreed. "I'm certainly getting my time wasted by being here and dealing with you pathetic scums." General Hux said, making Finn and Poe glare at him.

"I think we should stay here for the night." Rey said out of nowhere. "What?!" Finn and Poe exclaimed, while looking at her with shocked expressions on their faces. "We should stay here for the night because we owe a lot to (y/n) for her kindness and generosity and for taking care of BB-8. Plus, we'll need some supplies for our trip back." She explained. Finn and Poe took a moment to think it over until they both nodded, indicating that they were okay with Rey's decision. "Well, good. I'm happy that you three are going to be staying here. It's nice to have company around." I said, with Rey, Finn, and Poe each giving me a small smile. BB-8 beeped something and I looked down at him and smiled before I told him, "You being here has been wonderful too, BB-8."

Afterwards, Kylo stood up and said, "I think General Hux and I should stay here for the night too." When he said that, the trio and General Hux looked at him, shocked. "What?!" Rey, Finn, and Poe exclaimed, in unison. "Yes. The general and I will stay as we will need supplies for our trip back to the First Order as well." Kylo explained. Afterwards, an angry-looking General Hux stood up from his seat and said, "Ren, you have done enough wasting our time of traveling through space to follow these three to supposedly find the Resistance Base and confronting them without a fight because that Earthling girl is preventing us! Now you want to stay here for the night with those three around that could kill us in the middle of the night and to get supplies too! How can you call yourself a Supreme Lead—"

But before he could finish, Kylo held up his hand again like he was holding a cup and the general started gasping for air while he was holding his neck. "What's he doing to him?" I asked, in fright. "He's using the Force to choke him." Rey answered, without being scared. I had to admit, I was frightened of what Kylo was doing. Having the Force must be cool, but it seemed a bit scary at the same time. I guess whoever possessed the Force uses it differently, good or bad.

"You will not disobey me or tell me how to handle my role as your Supreme Leader, General Hux." Kylo warned him, and, then, he released the redhead general from the Force Choke and General Hux took a few deep breaths afterwards before he started to breathe normally. Kylo stood next to him closely by his ear and whispered something. The general, then, nodded and stood up straight. "We would be most obliged if you would allow us to stay here for the night as well." Kylo stated. I smiled and nodded at them. "Of course you both could stay." I said, without me noticing that the trio weren't very happy about it.

***

After convincing both enemy groups, they all came to an agreement to stay at my place for the night to get needed supplies for their long trip back through space the next day, under the condition that both groups will get along under my roof and under my supervision. It wasn't easy for them to agree to the condition, but they decided to do it for my sake. It was nice to know that these people from a different galaxy were willing to listen to me instead of protesting.

As soon as night time came and I was beginning to feel tired, neither groups were getting along when they were arguing of who sleeps where. Eventually, I took matters into my own hands and reminded them of the condition they had promised to keep and I assigned them to where they were going sleep. I chose the guest room for Rey, Finn, and Poe, while Kylo and General Hux slept on the couches in the living room.

Once everyone was settled and asleep, I headed off to bed, with BB-8 sleeping next to my bed since he wanted to stay with me to be safe from any harm that could possibly occur during the night. I told him that he'll be all right and that everyone had promised that they'll at least try to get along while they're under my roof. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, hoping that things will better the next day with the two enemies staying here with me.
