"Hey, isn't that Lexa and Clarke?" Octavia said pointing to the horizon.
"Let me see." Raven said taking the binoculars from her girlfriend. And sure enough it was the two leaders. Riding on the giant bird. "They brought the bird with them."
"I'll go tell Abby and Kane." Octavia said, jumping down from the tower and landing on the ground. She made her way into the arc and called out to Abby and Kane.
With all three of them now making there way outside, they found Clarke and Lexa inside the gates already.
"We have come with gifts for Raven and Octavia kom Skaikru!" Lexa shouted. A brown sack in her hands. And it seemed to be... Moving?
It's been two months since the girls were last in Arcadia and it was a pleasant surprise to the people who knew them personally.
Raven eyed the bag suspiciously. "What the hell's in the sack? It's moving."
Lexa beamed happily at the girl. "In this sack are the gifts i have brought for you. Since it was you and Octavia that gave me interest in the 'ducks' you talked about in your letters to me. I thought to return the favor."
"Clarke?" The mechanic asked cautiously.
Clarke shrugged her shoulders.
Lexa then opened the sack wide enough for her hand to enter and pulled out a small black bird. "Raven, Octavia! Your very own quack quack!" She shoved the animal in Raven's hands.
Raven looked absolutely horrified.
The bird looked exactly like the giant one outside the gates, but miniature sized. It stared up at her, curious to see a new face other than the blonde with blue eyes and the brunete with green. It began to chirp excitedly.
Her eyes went to Octavia who had her eyes wide open and mouth a gap. Then she looked to Clarke, eye brows raised.
"You guys shouldn't have sent those letters to her, guys. This is pay back." Without missing a beat, Clarke grabbed the sack from Lexa's hands and ran towards Ravens workshop.
It took a couple seconds for Raven and Octavia to understand what their friend was doing, but once they figured it out, the two girls immediately ran after her.
"No! Clarke! No!"
But it was too late, Clarke had tossed the sack in the air as she opened Raven's room open and dozens of quack quacks as Lexa likes to call them, fell out of the bag and landed everywhere from the tables, counters, shelves, and floor of the room.
"Oh my god." Raven and Octavia both said simultaneously, seeing their room scattered with black balls of feathered creatures.
"They seem to be enjoying themselves quite happily." Lexa said patting the girls shoulders. "Please take good care of them." She then went to stand next to Clarke. "We must head back to Polis. The twelve clans will be arriving for the meeting tomorrow evening."
Clarke nodded, smirking as she scanned the room. She was definitely proud at what she did. "Let's go." She said pulling Lexa along.
"It was nice of you to think about the little ones in the cave, Lexa. I almost forgot about them."
"I did as well, but i am glad they were not harmed when we arrived to get them. No child should live on their own."
"That's sweet of you."
"Just doing what i should do as Heda, Clarke."
"Is that why you let me keep quack quack Jr.?" Clarke asked just as a small bird made itself present in the dip of the hood she was wearing.
"It is your animal companion, Clarke, just like mine." Lexa replied, smiling as she took Clarke's hand in hers.
As the two leaders left the room, Jasper popped his head inside. He watched as Raven tried pushing the small birds off her table, but failing big time as they jumped and flew around the metal object. Octavia was in a similar position, but was having trouble when a couple of the birds flew on top of her head and shoulders, pecking her softly whenever they could.
"Clarke and Lexa are... Are... Ugh!" Raven screamed.
Jasper didn't think to help them. Although he was a bit envious about the situation. "I would kill to have one of those ducks as a pet." He said wistfulling.
Just a super short epilogue for this story. :) Thanks for reading everyone!
