unity day. a day arabella always hated, mostly because she always had to be dragged around with her father since he was on the council, every year bored her more and more. she was relieved she didn't have to go when she got placed in the sky box. 

"my friends, this is a historic unity day." jaha began through the radio. "every year, we mark the moment our ancestors of the twelve stations joined to form the ark, but this is the last time we do so while aboard her. next year... on the ground."

the crowd from the ark began to cheer and applaud. "right. after we did all the work." miller spoke from beside arabella. "someone shut him up."

"you shut up, miller." raven told the boy. "no one's forcing you to watch."

miller rolled his eyes while arabella let out a laugh.

"for ninety-seven years we have eked out an existence, hoping that someday our descendants would return to earth..." he continued but arabella was already bored so she walked away to find something to do.

but as she was about to walk away jasper came out of a tent with a large container of monty's moonshine. this was the part arabella was looking forward to. 

"monty stikes again!" jasper cheered. "hey! call this batch unity juice! who's thirsty?"

people grabbed anything they could drink out of and let jasper pour the drink into their cups and bottles. 

he came to arabella and filled up the cup she had found. "happy unity day!" he cheered at her, making her let out a laugh.

...

it was now dark and almost everyone was drunk, including arabella. the coms went out shortly after she left but she couldn't care less.

arabella had barely seen bellamy it honestly made her nervous after their last interaction. 

"arabella." clarke gained the girl's attention.

"hey, clarke." arabella drunkly smiled. "this is the only good unity day i've had! this is so fun."

her attention was diverted to bellamy who was walking over to the girls.

"best unity day ever." bellamy smiled down at arabella.

"do we really think now is a good time to be having a party?" clarke asked the two, mostly bellamy. "i mean, the grounder is out there..."

"clarke. please relax for once." arabella stumbled ever so slightly. 

"we've got security covered." bellamy added to calm clarke's nerves.

"go get a drink." arabella told her. "here have mine." she passed the cup over to clarke. 

"the exodus ship with your mom." bellamy looked at clarke then arabella. "and your dad comes down in a few days. after that, the party's over."

arabella let out a laugh. "not for me it's not." she gently nudged bellamy.

"okay. i'll go have some fun." clarke smiled at arabella as she walked away.
