Author's Note: Happy late New Year's guys! Sorry for taking so long, I've had a lot of school work over the last few months, and I completely lost my writing motivation. However, one of my resolutions for 2019 is to write more, so hopefully, that will result in more chapters more often ;)

Also, if any of you are following my other story, Their little secret, you will see that I deleted it. I thought long and hard about it, and I decided I didn't really like the plot and the story didn't flow very well. I apologize to anyone who had liked that story, I just didn't like the way I wrote it, along with many other things. But, if you liked it a lot, please let me know. I could possibly un-delete it and update it occasionally (I really need to think it through first, though). Thank you guys for understanding!

Enjoy the chapter!

Clarke sighs, digging through her pockets. She brings the radio out of her pocket and turns it on. The warriors around her eye the device with uneasiness and distrust, but she pays them no mind. The radio crackles, and Clarke fiddles with a few buttons.

"Raven? Octavia?" She says into it, "Raven?"

The blonde hears some noise in the background, before the voice she misses answers. "Cl-arke? Clarke is that you?"

"Yeah, it's me. What's go-"

"Holy shit! Clarke's on the- oh! Sorry, Gustus, I'll be quieter."

"Uhh, Rae? Is it a bad time or something?"

"What! No! Hang on!"

The blonde hears some scutter in the background again, and then, "Not to interrupt, or anything, but Clarke radioed in." There was a pause, then: "Dude, Octavia, Lincoln, that was so hot…"

Lexa and Anya looked up at Clarke, who looked as confused as them.

"Wait, wait, what's that supposed to mean?" She half-whisper-half-yells.

"Octavia and Lincoln just had their first kiss!"

Clarke's jaw drops down to the floor, "Already? And I seriously had to miss it!?"

"Clarke!" Octavia says, calmly, "how are you?" Her tone is the complete opposite of Raven's, who is practically jumping up and down.

"Do not try to change the subject! I'm not going ending this call until you spill the beans, hun."

"Fine, ugh. Let's go somewhere else more private, I don't need everyone listening to this!"

There are low murmurs that Clarke can't catch, and the noise in the background that sounds like fast walking.

Lexa and Anya are listening to the conversation, intrigued after learning that their brother had kissed Octavia, and they watch as Clarke taps her nail against the radio impatiently, "So, Octavia, spill."

"Well….Indra made me spar with him, he was shirtless, he pinned me down…"

"Oh my god,"

"…And he kissed me. I totally wasn't expecting it, but boy that was probably the best kiss I've ever had in my life."

"That sounds-"

"Hot! I know right?! We're only, what, on the ground for a month and Octavia's already got the guy!" Raven interrupts, self-control close to nonexistent. "That's probably because O's the most beautiful out of all of us. Clarke and I are pigs compared to Octavia. She's always looking like a goddess."

"Hey, that's not true! You two are pretty too!" Octavia protests weakly.

"O? Raven seems more excited than you, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It's just- I- Besides you two, I haven't had someone to love- or had someone who-"

"Octavia, breathe. If your thinking about Bellamy and your mom, then don't worry. You deserve love. You deserve the whole entire world."

"I don't want to lose any more people. We're on the ground now. It's dangerous, and I need to focus on keeping you and Raven safe, and we practically know we're going to go to war with the ark, and it's too much! I can't go through another death." Octavia's almost pleading now, "Clarke, you know this more than anyone. You lost so many people too."

Clarke's face falls, but she quickly regains her composure. "Octavia, enough of this crap. You're strong, you're smart, you're tough, and you are millions of things on top of that. You're a freaking Blake, for god sake. And think of it this way, Lincoln is a warrior, he can defend himself. YOu can give up on all of this forever."

"And Octavia, what's life without a bit of adventure? You spent most of your life locked in a box, you're free now!" Raven adds. It clear from her voice that she and Octavia and hugging or embracing each other.

Clarke feels a pang of sadness, she wants to physically be there for her best friend too. "So what else it up?"

"Actually, nothing much. Things are going surprisingly smooth, I hope it stays like this. What about you guys, are you at Polis yet?"

"Nope. We are still on the horses. We took one stop so far. We'll be there in… When will we get to Polis, Heda?"

"We will arrive at Polis at sunset." Clarke smiles at Lexa and nods her thanks to the older woman.

"So.. Sunset? That's about an hour away, I think. How are your legs doing, sitting on a horse?"

"Ugh," Clarke groans, "They are going to be super duper sore when I wake up in the morning. It reminds me of that time Mr. Lee made me do conditioning every day for a month because I failed in properly distracting Jaha."

"Seriously? It's that bad?"

"Well no, not really. Running was worse. It's probably cause I'm not used to this. I'll get better with time, I hope."

"How's the whole experience going?"

"It's so pretty over here. We passed a river and I was so mesmerized that I literally almost fell off the horse."

They hear Raven and Octavia snort together, "Typical Clarkey, always falling off horses."

"Excuse me, Rae, I'd like to remind you that this is my first time on a horse. I'd also like to see you do better."

"Please, I'd be like a queen! My hair would be flowing with the wind, and…"

"And you'd fall off."

"No, I wouldn't!"

"Yeah, you would."

"Nuh uh. O, do you think I'd fall off?"

Clarke can practically see Octavia's smirk as she answers Raven's question. "Honestly Reyes, I don't think you'd last five minutes without falling off. You're kinda reckless like that."

"Ugh, you two suck."

"Well, you still love us so…"

"Yeah, whatever." Raven grumbles, "I bet you can't fix a radio in 20 minutes."

"Whoever said I could?" Clarke grins. She looks to the corner of her eye where Anya is. Both her and Lexa aren't looking directly at her, but it's obvious that they are listening to the conversation. "Hey Anya, Lexa?"

Both of the older warriors whip their heads to look at Clarke.

"Yes?" Anya answers, curious.

"Do you guys want to talk to your parents or Lincoln?"

"I'm sorry?" Lexa exclaims.

"Wait, what?"

"What I mean is that Raven and O can give their radio to them and you guys can talk to them."

"Actually, yes. I would like to briefly talk to Lincoln. Privately, Raven and Octavia." Lexa says, but she sounds more commander. Clarke wonders if she's angry at Lincoln for kissing Octavia.

"Okay, I'll give it to him right now."

There's static for a few minutes before Lincoln's voice comes in. "Heda? Anya?"

"Yu en the skai gada?" You and the sky girl?

"Heda…"

"Osir may go kom wor. Be klir." We may go to war. Be safe.

"I understand, Heda."

"Don't forget your duty as a warrior on my army." The commander says, almost coldly.

"I know, Lexa. Don't worry. Same goes for you and Anya."

Lexa's eyes narrow, "I am Heda, Lincoln. I know my duties."

"I apologize for overstepping, Heda." Lincoln sounds slightly different too, also sensing his sister's change in attitude. Clarke keeps silent too, knowing something it bothering the commander.

Anya sighs, "Goodbye, Lincoln. Stay safe."

"You too." He answers back before turning the radio off.

The eldest sister turns to look at her commander, eyes fixated on the brunette. Of course, she knows better than to pry with all the warriors around, but she won't forget to confront her sister where there are no prying eyes and ears.
