The ending credits of my latest watched movie cover the screen of my tv. My eyes start to water from being open from the early light of dawn until now, the dead of night. I start feeling around my bed for where I may have placed my phone. Once I feel it's familiar dainty frame I open it to check the time. 4:00 am. Again.

Somehow, looking at the late hour on the clock makes me feel more awake, though I desperately wished for sleep. I grab my remote, annoyed, and start searching Netflix for a show to help put me to sleep.

I clicked along for a few minutes before landing on a show I had been obsessed with last year, and had almost forgotten about. The 100.

I clicked on the cameo and pressed start from beginning. I remembered being so in love with this show that I had read all of the books and watched the show about ten times. Last I had seen, the characters had ended up on some other planet.

I remembered seasons 1-4 being my absolute favourite. I smiled while remembering my favourite characters; Murphy, Bellamy, Jasper, and Octavia.

I sat in bliss watching the first few minutes of Clarke being prisoner in the skybox, then sent down to earth with the rest of the 100. Some of the shows decisions for the storyline bothered me, like killing off some of the best characters. I always thought that if I could have the chance to change the course of action of the show, I would be sure to save my favourite characters.

I continued watching the drop ship land on earth while I felt myself dozing off. The loud rattle on the screen really got to my fatigued head. I almost felt the shaking of the drop ship around my bed. My eyes were closed and my head was pounding as I heard Clarke speaking to Wells about her father, "I do hate you!"

Suddenly, my stomach dropped as I felt myself falling from my bed. When I didn't land on my fuzzy carpet immediately, I kept my eyes closed and curled into a cannonball to shield myself for impact on the ground.

Finally, my body the ground but when I opened my eyes I saw a cold, grey cement around me. Nothing like my cozy room.

I looked around to see dozens of teens like me sitting in seats - ones that looked awfully similar to the ones in the show I had just watched. I glanced across the room to see the teens unstrapping out of the chairs.

People were walking around and there were lots of noises in the commotion. I sat there, extremely confused when I felt a hand on my shoulder and  heard someone say, "Finn, is she dead?"

I looked to whoever had touched my shoulder and jumped when I came face to face with a guy with shaggy brown hair. A guy who looked exactly like Finn Collins.

I immediately stood up, knocking his hand off my shoulder. I started backing up cautiously, whole searching the room for other familiar faces to see if I had actually gone insane.

I felt something bump into my back and quickly turned around.

"Hey, watch it!"

My jaw dropped. I was looking right at none other than John, the cockroach, Murphy.

I couldn't help but pinch my forearm to wake up from this insane, hyper realistic dream. As I went to do so, I realized that I was wearing a similar outfit to others I had seen on the first season of the 100. My breathing quickened as I pinched myself, waiting to wake up in my comfortable bed with the tv still on. Nothing.

I heard someone suddenly yell, "Stop! The air could be toxic!", and actually almost shit my pants.

I looked over to see Clarke fucking Griffin beside me, close enough to touch. I then remembered who she was talking to in this scene and actually almost died.

"If the air's toxic then we're all dead anyway," Bellamy Blake spoke.

I stood there in awe watching the scene unfold.

"Bellamy?" Someone spoke up from the crowd.

Fucking shit. Octavia Blake ran out from behind me to hug Bellamy.

After the reunion between Octavia and Bellamy, the drop ship door opened. Octavia walked out and said her most iconic line of the show, "We're back bitches!"

Everyone around me started cheering and hollering while I stood still, finding it difficult to breathe.

I suddenly became very aware of the fact that I was in a drop ship.

With the 100.

In the 100?
