A/N: Hey :) So, just quickly, the idea behind this story was left in a review, but I can't remember who said it to me, so please let me know haha because I really enjoyed writing this and thank you. Also, thank you for everyone who reviewed last chapter, please enjoy this one, and continue to let me know what you think!

Three days had gone by since Abby had distributed the correct medicine throughout the city and everyone who had been ill was more or less up and about, including Lexa, who was getting more and more frustrated with how much Clarke was beating herself up for the fact that the illness originated from her clan.

"Octavia!" Lexa called, as she saw the girl further down the corridor she was on, presumably heading back to the room she was sharing with Lincoln.

"Sha Lexa?" Octavia asked curiously, pausing her steps as she turned to face the Commander, who was staring at her almost pleadingly.

Lexa gripped Octavia's shoulder, staring into her eyes intently, "I need you to help me with Clarke, I don't know how to help her. She is punishing herself for something that was not her fault and that she had no control over."

Octavia sighed and nodded towards her shoulder, which she was sure would be bruised come tomorrow, until Lexa got the hint and removed her iron clad grip. "I don't know how to stop her feeling guilty about it, but maybe distracting her would help?"

"Distracting her how?" The other girl asked thoughtfully, her hand straying to the sword on her hip.

Laughing Octavia placed her hand over Lexa's to pull it away from the sword hilt, "Fighting isn't the answer to everything Lexa, why don't we try a Skaikru distraction?"

Lexa grinned in amusement and hooked a finger under the collar of Octavia's Trikru clothes, "You are no longer Skaikru."

Rolling her eyes, Octavia brushed away Lexa's hand with a grin, "Do you want my help or not Lexa?"

After less than a seconds hesitation, Lexa nodded eagerly.

"Then this is what we do..."

"Where are we going?" Clarke groaned in annoyance, as Lexa led them through various twists and turns through the forest until she had no idea how to get back to the city without Lexa's assistance.

"Octavia was on a scouting party yesterday and she told us to come and meet her today to see what they discovered." Lexa answered absently, focusing on the direction they were going as she carefully kept one eye on the sun to track the time.

"What did they find?" Clarke asked curiously, her interest piqued at Lexa's vague answer.

Lexa pulled on the reins to bring her horse to a halt, nodding over to where Octavia and Lincoln were arriving on their own horses, "We're about to find out."

The four of them rode in silence for a further ten minutes, Octavia stubbornly refusing to tell them what she had found, insisting that they should see it for themselves.

As they rounded the last corner, the could hear the gushing of a water fall and the gently gurgling of the forest stream snaking down and heading deeper into the forest. A gorgeous green, grassy bank awaited them with a blanket laid out as well as a basket filled to the brim with food which had been sneakily dropped off whilst they were dragging their partners to the location.

"Ontari came through for us." Octavia grinned, holding up her hand for a high five to Lexa, who just stared at her in confusion until Octavia sighed and grabbed her wrist before slapping their hands together, "It's how Skaikru celebrate a job well done between friends." She explained quickly to Lexa, which did nothing to diminish her confusion.

"I don't understand, why is-?" She was cut off by Octavia's laugher as she caught sight of Clarke's face, who's jaw was hanging open giving her a rather fish like appearance. For his part, Lincoln just waited patiently for an explanation of what on earth was going on.

Clarke swung down from her horse, closely followed by the three Trikru, who watched as she walked to the blanket and peered into the basket before looking up at Octavia, "A picnic O?" She asked, confusion still evident in her tone.

Octavia grinned as she bounded over, throwing herself down and pulling Lincoln along with her before using his lap as a pillow, "It's a double date!"

"And you were in on this?" She asked Lexa, who was grinning back at her happily.

"We planned this for both of you, to show you how much you mean to us." Lexa said gently, her eyes flickering over to Lincoln as well to include him fully in the statement.

Clarke beamed at her widely, leaning in to kiss her, all thoughts of the sickness from earlier in the week driven from her mind, "I love you."

Lincoln smiled at them before inclining his head to capture Octavia's lips with his own, "And I love you Octavia."

Octavia just grinned and curled into his embrace further until she was wrapped up in his arms as they started their picnic.

Octavia had been right when she suggested a double date Lexa decided, as she watched Clarke just let go and have fun, splashing around in the stream with Octavia and Lincoln as she sat on the bank and watched them.

They had eaten their food quite quickly before Lincoln had suggested cooling down by dipping their feet in the stream, which had soon turned into them crashing into it up to their waists and trying to soak each other as Lexa stayed well clear, refusing to get drenched.

Unfortunately for her, plans didn't last long when your girlfriend was Clarke Griffin. Somehow, whilst Lexa was lost in her musings, Clarke had managed to slip out of the stream and sneak around to appear behind Lexa.

Without warning there was a fierce war cry from behind her and then she was flying through the air, landing heavily in the water, instantly soaked through to the bone.

"Clarke!" Lexa yelled, faking anger as she glared at Clarke murderously, who had the audacity to just stick her tongue out at the Commander before hopping down to join her in the water.

"You were coming in one way or another." Clarke shrugged with a smirk.

She soon regretted her cocky attitude when Lexa charged her, knocking her clean off her feet and submerging her completely under water.

Popping up to gasp for breath she just glared at the other three who were laughing at her drowned rat appearance.

"You think this is funny? I'll show you funny." Clarke promised, before charging the three of them head on.

That evening when they finally got back to their bedroom, Clarke and Lexa collapsed into bed beside each other tiredly.

"Thank you for today." Clarke smiled, as Lexa kicked her shoes off the side of the bed before crawling under the covers and straight into Clarke's waiting arms.

"You needed it." Lexa said simply, proving yet again that unlike every other person Clarke had every had a romantic connection with, Lexa had no ulterior motive other than to make Clarke happy.

"I love you." Clarke yawned, shifting slightly as she settled her head against the pillow.

Lexa grinned, placing a gentle kiss on Clarke's lips, "I love you too." And then she layed her head against Clarke's chest to listen to her favorite sound in the world as she drifted off to sleep. The steady, even beat of Clarke's heart that grounded her and soothed her night after night as she allowed herself to forget that she was the Commander, instead just focusing on that one sound and getting lost in it.
