"I'm going to throw up."

Lexa laughs. "No you're not. Look around Clarke. Everything is perfect."

Clarke takes the brunette's advice and takes in her surroundings. They are standing in the middle of a beautifully decorated AYRC gym. It's the perfect balance of an elegant and laid back atmosphere. She had to admit, she's proud of what they've done. There are dozens of tables, a small dance floor filling up the center of the room. Around the stage, were a number of easels set up holding artwork created by the kids over the past 6 months. The sketchbook and silent auction tables are set up along the east wall. The west wall is where the food line is set up. Thankfully, Lexa convinced The Dropship to cater the event for free. Clarke is still amazed she pulled that off.

Although, she really shouldn't be surprised. Lexa can be a very convincing person. Her approach is always "to-the-point" but her voice is sincere. Anyone would have a difficult time looking into those green eyes and turning her down. (Clarke knew this first hand.)

"You're right. Everything is perfect." Clarke says as she walks over to Lexa and wraps her arms around the girl. The brunette instantly holding her back and whispering in her ear.

"Let's do this."

The event was going off without a hitch. It was nearing the end of the festivities and Clarke has finally allowed herself to breathe a sigh of relief and call tonight a success.

Thanks to Lexa and Monty's strong social media campaign they were able to sell 150 tickets and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. There was tons of action on the dance floor all night, the children in particular were having a blast jumping around to the music. Clarke had sold out of sketchbooks after an hour with many people people buying 5 or more copies. According to Octavia, even more people had bid on the silent auction items.

Now, the blonde finds herself sitting at a table with her parents. Her nervous stomach was finally allowing her to eat and she was in the middle of her meal when Marcus steps up on to the small stage and begin speaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you again for coming this evening and supporting the Arkadia Youth Recreation Center Art Program. I must say, this has been a great success. To tell us just how much of a success it was, please welcome Ms. Lexa Woods back to the stage.

Clarke smiles and applauds while watching the girl walk up to the stage. As the brunette grabs the microphone, Clarke is suddenly taken aback by how beautiful she looks up there under the stage lights. Clarke had been so nervous earlier she hadn't really taken in Lexa in her outfit, and now that she has she can't seem to find her breath. Needless to say, Lexa looks stunning in her black dress and Clarke makes a mental note to tell her so later.

"Thank you Mr. Kane, and I'd also like to thank all of you as well for coming and supporting us. As someone who has grown up in the foster care system I understand first hand the importance of places like the AYRC and people like you who support it. I can't tell you enough how your kindness impacts our lives… So, on behalf of all us 'kids', thank you." Lexa pauses to allow the applause to subside. "Now, I have the preliminary totals of tonight's festivities. Raven, drumroll please… Because of your generosity we have raised over $10,000!"

More applause erupts as people stand and cheer. Clarke is staring proudly up at the girl on the stage. Their eyes meet and Lexa shoots her a smirk and a wink. Clarke sits back down and motions for the girl to come join her but the brunette smiles and nods 'no'. Clarke narrows her eyes at her and when the applause dies down, Lexa brings the microphone back up to her mouth.

"Before we call it a night, I need to acknowledge someone very special. She is the reason we are all here tonight and she is the one who has inspired all the wonderful artwork the children created. Clarke, can you please stand back up?"

Clarke shyly stands, a blush covering her cheeks as the audience applaud around her. She keeps her eyes locked on the green ones up on the stage.

"Clarke, you've changed all our lives since coming to AYRC and we are all grateful to and for you. To show our gratitude, we have something for you."

A line of children begin approaching Clarke. Clarke kneels to the ground and each child begins to hand her a flower and a handmade card. She's trying to hold back the tears that have formed in her eyes as she hugs each child. Once she's received the final flower and card her eyes find their way back up to Lexa, who is standing on the stage beaming down at her with pride.

"We're so proud of you kid." Mr. Griffin says as he hugs his daughter.

"Thank you both for coming." she replies going over to hug her mother next.

"We wouldn't miss it."

Clarke smiles at her parents before her eyes drift over to Lexa who is talking to Mr. Kane. She can see a huge smile on the brunette's face as she shakes the man's hand. Before Clarke knew it, the girl was rushing over to her and her parents.

"Guess what?" she exclaimed.

Clarke giggled at the girl's enthusiasm. "What?"

"Mr. Kane just offered me a job!"

"Where?"

"Here Clarke."

"Uhh, Lex, maybe you've had too much punch but you already work here silly."

Clarke smirks as Lexa rolls her eyes. "No Clarke. A PAYING job. Apparently the board approved making my Assistant Director position a permanent, paid position. Nothing really changes except I get paid and I qualify for benefits now."

"That's great kid!" Mr. Griffin exclaims soon followed by Mrs. Griffin's "Congrats honey."

Lexa smiles before Clarke wraps her up in her arms. "That's awesome Lexa. I'm proud of you." Lexa squeezes the girl a little tighter.

Everyone has left the rec and Clarke and Lexa find themselves sitting on the swings in the playground outside, decompressing and enjoying the nice night air.

Clarke eventually breaks the silence. "We did it."

"Yeah we did. We make a pretty good team." she pauses and smiles at the blonde. "And just so you know, I meant what I said on that stage tonight. You've changed all of our lives here Clarke. I've never been so happy to be wrong about anyone in my life."

Clarke smiles and takes her hand. "You've all changed my life too… YOU in particular. You have completely altered my entire world Lexa Woods. I'm so grateful to have you."

Lexa smiles shyly at the girl and squeezes her hand. Unsure of what to say, she moves her eyes up to the sky. Clarke's eyes soon follow and a second later a shooting star passes through the sky causing both girls to gasp.

Clarke looks over to the girl beside her. "Did you see that?"

"I did. Wow..." She turns her eyes from the sky and to the blonde. "Make a wish Clarke."

Clarke looks straight back into her favorite pair of green eyes and whispers, "Will you go out on a date with me?"
