A.N. Hi everyone! This is my take on what happened after the Force Awakens. I hope you like it. By the way, anything that is in italics is Chewbacca talking.

Chapter 1
Poe, Rey, and Finn were sitting in a dark booth in the back of a seedy cantina. Finn was spinning his empty glass in circles on the table, and Rey was nervously glancing around the crowded cantina. Poe was the only one who seemed relaxed.
''How are you so calm,'' Rey asked, ''oh wait, you've done this before.''
''There's nothing to be worried about. All we have to do is wait for our contact, pay them, and get out of here,'' Poe said soothingly.
''And not get caught,'' Finn added.
Poe glared at Finn then turned to Rey. ''Rey relax. There isn't anything to worry about. I think.''
''You think,'' she whisper screamed,'' what do you mean you think?''
Just then a tall man slid into the booth with them. ''Lets get started Poe. I don't have all day.''
''Nice to see you Rajl. These are my friends Rey and Finn. Finn, Rey, this is Rajl, our contact.''
''Nice to meet you,'' Rey said nervously.
''What do you have for us Rajl,'' Poe asked.
''The key to the new First Order codes, their newest battle plans, and a letter for General Organa from Lando Calrissian.''
''Lando? What does he need?''
''Beats me. One of his men paid me 300 credits to deliver this to her. How is she doing anyway?''
''As well as can be expected after Han's death. I'll tell her you asked.''
Just then Rey stiffened. ''Uh guys?''
''What's wrong,'' Poe asked.
''Five storm troopers just came inside. They're talking to the bartender.''
''They found you,'' Rajl said. ''You need to leave now. There's a back entrance behind the bar. Go straight to your ship. I'll get someone working on your clearance to leave.''
''Thanks Rajl. What do we owe you,'' Poe asked, standing up.
''Nothing. The general paid me in advance. Now get going. I'll comm a few of my friends and tell them to keep a look out for you. Worst case scenario, they'll find a place for you to stay the night.''
''They're starting to walk over here,'' Finn said nervously.
''Bye Rajl. See you next time.''
With that they ran as fast as they could out of the bar into a dark alley. Poe whipped out his comlink.
''Chewbacca. Chewie! Do you copy? They found us. We'll be at the hanger soon. Get the ship ready.''
Muffled growling floated through the comlink.
''What do you mean you had to leave the ship? All right, all right, we'll meet you there.''
''What's wrong,'' Finn asked anxiously.
''Storm troopers were searching the hanger. Chewbacca had to leave the ship. He and BB-8 are waiting for us in an abandoned warehouse a few blocks from the hanger.''
They sprinted down the streets until they reached the warehouse.
''Sure took you long enough.''
''Not all of us are as fast as you Chewie,'' Finn said trying to catch his breath.
They stood there for a moment to get their bearings when Rey suddenly said, ''Hide.''
''What,'' Poe asked.
''Someone's coming. Hide unless you want to get shot.''
They crouched down behind some crates that were filled with tools.
''On the bright side, if they get too close all we have to do is throw these tools at them,'' Finn said.
''Shut up,'' Rey and Poe said in unison.
The door to the warehouse creaked open. They could hear boots clicking on the metal floor. Rey's hand rested on her light saber. Poe and Finn drew their blasters and got ready to fire. The lights flickered on and a feminine voice rang out, ''Hello? I know that you're in here, so don't even bother trying to hide. I won't hurt you I promise.''
''That voice sounds really familiar,'' Poe muttered under his breath.
BB-8 straightened up. With a short beep, he rolled out from behind the crates.
''What are you doing BB-8,'' Rey whispered.
''BB-8,'' the voice asked in shock, ''what are you doing here? It's good to see you too. Wait, if you're here that means… Poe Dameron stop hiding behind those crates and come out this instant before I drag you out of there myself.''
Poe slowly rose out from behind that crates. When he saw who was standing there, he did a double take. ''Lana? Is it really you?''
''It's me.''
The pair embraced.
''Wait,'' Poe said pulling back, ''how did you know that we were here?''
''Rajl told me to look for you guys. Also, running through the streets isn't exactly subtle.''
''Since when do you work for Rajl?''
''I started working for him about three years ago. Now, when are you going to tell your friends that it's safe to come out.''
''Come on out guys. She's with us. She doesn't bite, normally.''
Rey, Finn, and Chewbacca came out of their hiding spots.
''Lana?''
''Chewie!''
Chewbacca pulled the girl into a big bear hug.
''I missed you too Chewie,'' she said laughing, ''can you put me down now?''
Now Rey and Finn could finally get a good look at her. She was petite, about the general's height. She had long brown hair that reached her waist and the greenest eyes they had ever seen.
''Who are your friends,'' she asked, nodding towards Rey and Finn.
''I'm Rey.''
''I'm Finn.''
''Nice to meet you Rey and Finn. I'm Allana, but my friends call me Lana. Is this all of you? Where's Han? Last time I checked Chewie didn't go any where without him.''
The room fell silent. Poe walked over to her and placed a hand on her arm. ''Lana, Han died a year ago.''
''What,'' she said in a small voice.
''I'm sorry cub. We wanted to find you, but no one knew where you were. We didn't even know if you were still alive.''
''How did he die,'' she asked fighting back tears.
''Kylo Ren killed him,'' Finn said quietly, ''Rey and I were there. He was trying to bring him back to the light side of the force.''
''I can't believe it,'' Allana said, sinking down on to one of the crates.
''We met him a few days before he died,'' Rey said soothingly, ''he was a great man. How did you know him?''
Allana cracked a smile. ''I've known him my whole life. My full name is Allana Solo. Han is, well was my father.''
