Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry for the wait. Track and Field just started at my school, and so did statewide testing. I've been really busy, but I'm going to try to aim for a chapter every two weeks. And when summer break starts, I will update more frequently. Also, DID ANYONE WATCH THE PREMIERE? I won't spoil, but I gotta say... I was NOT expecting some things, but it was pretty good...

Reviews appreciated :-)

Clarke's been sleeping for 35 minutes and the tent is relatively calm. Raven and Octavia are silent, watching Clarke sleep, while the others quietly converse in Trigedasleng. The two girls don't understand the hushed whispers being tossed between the older warriors but don't dwell on it. Their main focus at this point is getting their friends to agree to the deal they made.

The tent's flaps move as a figure comes into the perimeter. Finn. He looks directly at Raven, exhaling.

"I really want to apologize for earlier," He says slowly, pronouncing each syllable carefully.

Raven swallows visibly and looks down, "Finn… I just don't get it, why did you want to knock her out?"

"Can I just please talk to you, Raven?" Glancing at the others, he then adds, "Privately."

"Fine." She stands up and walks out with him. Octavia, on the other hand, doesn't even look up from her gaze on Clarke.

Outside the tent, Finn takes a deep breath, "Raven, I… I just I miss us. We were each other's everything until you became cellmates with them and now, now it just feels like I'm forgotten. When we dropped down, you didn't even acknowledge the fact that I was here too. You're so focused on Clarke and Octavia and protecting them, I'm not even in the picture anymore."

Tears well up in Raven's eyes, "You cheated on me, Finn. What happened to us when I found out you were dating someone else? I even denied friendship to Octavia because I thought we were forever and always."

"Y-You did?"

"Yeah. The first month in the skybox with Octavia, we literally ignored each other. Then one day a goddamn guard comes in, telling me of new gossip about Finn Collins getting a new girlfriend? Replacing me? You made me a promise! I wasn't even dead, we weren't even broken up, and you went out and about dating someone else?!"

There are tears running down the girl's face now, and she's yelling loud enough for the people around them to hear. A crowd starts to form but both of them wave their hands to get them to leave.

"You replaced me, Finn! And now you're jealous of someone who I care about?"

"It was a mistake Raven, please." The boy is begging, and the brunette takes a deep breath to steady herself.

"I can't do this right now, I just can't!"

"I know we might not as close as we were, but please Raven, can I make it up to you? Can I try? Can we still be friends?"

"Maybe," Raven whispers, nodding her head quickly. "We can try."

"Can I hug you?" Finn asks tentatively.

Raven nods again and both of them reach out to each other. It's awkward at first, Raven being stiff, but she eventually relaxes slightly. The brunette rests her head on Finn's shoulder. "So why were you trying to knock Clarke out?"

"She was about to hit Harper. I don't know why, but she kinda just lost it."

Raven sighs. She pulls away from the hug, "I'm gonna go check on her."

"Oh. Oh, yeah, of course." Finn looks crestfallen but Raven's already walking into the tent so she doesn't see.

When she makes her way back into the tent and towards Octavia, the younger girl comments on her appearance.

"You've been crying," She observes softly.

The warriors in the room look at her. "It's nothing," the brunette mumbles. "It's nothing bad. We just fixed up a few things."

"But he..."

"Octavia, it's fine. We are ok, really. He just really wants to be friends again."

"The boy is your friend?" Anya asks before she can stop herself.

"My ex-boyfriend but he cheated on me."

"Nobody should cheat on someone like you. You're too pretty to be cheated on."

Raven flushes bright red and hears a snicker behind her. They turn to see Clarke sitting up.

Clarke snorts, "Go on, go on, I want to hear more about what you think about my friend."

Both Octavia and Raven pull the blonde into a bone-crushing hug. "I'm glad you're awake. We have news to tell."

They help Clarke up, and the blonde walks towards Anya. She winks at the older girl. "Keep on complimenting Rae, she deserves it. Our compliments aren't good enough."

She walks out of the tent, smirking. Both Raven and Anya are blushing, so Lincoln turns to Octavia, "Clarke's acting like nothing happened."

"She does that a lot. She hates people making a big deal out of those types of things." Octavia answers, turning to the still blushing Raven. "We seriously have to tell everyone, Raven."

"At dinner time, please. Not right now."

"No. We are telling everyone right now."

"Ughhh..."

"Come on!"

Raven groans, following the girl out. Once they are out, Anya turns to her sister. "Lex, please tell me I did not say that about Raven out loud..."

Lexa just laughs. It's not big because she's so used to suppressing her emotions, but gives her sister a small giggle. Indra and Gustus shake their heads at their eldest daughter.

"Oh sweet spirits, I said it out loud," Anya grumbles.

"It wasn't bad, it was actually pretty cute," Lincoln reassures her. "I think Raven might like you."

Anya perks up, "Wait, really?"

"Oh my god," Lexa snorts, "Anya, stop acting like a goufa. She likes you, ok?"

Before the other woman could reply, Indra speaks up, "All of you, stop acting like goufas. All of them like you guys. But as exciting as that is for you, we should get to work."

"Yes, nomon," Lexa and Lincoln say, walking out of the tent together. Anya, on the other hand, stays put.

"Do you really think she likes me?"

Indra rolls her eyes as Gustus gives a loud snort. "Yes, Anya, she likes you very much."

Anya beams, "Thanks."

"Don't go out like that, someone might see."

Anya quickly nods, her smile being changed back into a stoic expression. She takes a deep breath and swiftly walks out the tent. Indra and Gustus follow their eldest daughter out and walk over to where Lexa, Lincoln, and Octavia are. Raven and Clarke are talking to Murphy and Harper while the delinquents are gathering up around them.

Octavia motions for the three of them to come closer as she walks to Raven and Clarke. They do, going towards Lexa and Lincoln who have now moved back, behind the three girls.

Clarke clears her throat, and the delinquents all go silent. She nods towards Octavia, who speaks first.

"As you all know, Raven, Clarke, and I went to make a deal with the grounders. And we kept our promise and did just that."

Murmurs start throughout the crowd and Clarke quickly silences them with a glare. Octavia continues, voice stronger than ever, "Some of you might not like the deal, might not agree with it, but by no means that mean you can cause chaos in this camp."

"What's the deal?" One boy calls out and the other kids nod, wanting an answer.

"We move to the grounder capital Polis. We swear fealty to the Trigedakru and become a part of their clan."

A commotion breaks out of the crowd again. Raven tries saying something, but it's so loud that nobody can hear or notice her.

Clarke takes a deep breath, "SILENCE!"

The delinquents go silent once again. Raven grins at her friend, but straightens her posture, and makes her voice match Clarke's. "Anyone who rebels WILL be potentially banished from camp." She scans the now nervous looking mob, and softens slightly, "but, we are family. And that means we all look out for each other."

Clarke motions to the warriors behind them, "They are not our enemy. Jaha and the people in the sky are. We were expendable, and they sent us down here to die! But we're not. We will survive and show them what we are made of!"

"SURVIVE! SURVIVE! SURVIVE!" The crowd chants, fists in the air.

Clarke, Octavia, and Raven breathe out, sighing in relief. They allow their muscles to loosen slightly and smile. Octavia glances to Jasper and Monty, remembering the previous conversation. To her surprise, she sees laughing and jumping in the air instead of mad expressions. Monty has a bucket with him and is passing out cups. The others laugh, chant, and take sips from their drinks.

"Monty's Moonshine! Get some here!" Jasper yells, and dozens of other kids swarm around the two boys.

"Want some moonshine?" Octavia asks, grinning. It's their improved unity day. Not the one from the Ark, but a new type. It signifies the start of something new.
