Thanksgiving Dinner

"Clarke!" Bellamy yells as he runs up to Clarke.

Clarke slows down and patiently waits for Bellamy to catch up. "What's wrong?"

Bellamy rests his hands on his knees, his head bowed and chest heaving. "We couldn't find a turkey," he says between pants.

Clarke laughs. "That's it? No turkey? Bell, you didn't need to run to tell me that. I know. There'll be no turkey this Thanksgiving."

"What?" Bellamy lifts his head up to look at Clarke, his eyebrows raised. "And you didn't tell me earlier? Clarke, I brought a whole team to the woods to hunt for a turkey. They're scared that you and Lexa will kill them because they didn't get one. How am I supposed to tell them now that there was no turkey to begin with?"

"Simple. You bring me to them and I'll tell them myself. We're using a deer this time, Bell. I already sent out a team with Nyko to get some vegetables that we can use and another team with Lincoln and Octavia to get meat."

"And you tell me this now?" Bellamy exclaims, straightening. "If we weren't supposed to get meat what were we supposed to get then?"

"You," Clarke says, bumping her shoulder with Bellamy's, "were supposed to set up for the dinner. I wanted to find you this morning but you weren't here. Now, just bring me to the team. I'll explain the turkey-less Thanksgiving."

Bellamy sighs and begins to lead Clarke to his team.

As they walk closer, the team of three teenagers comes into view. They are pacing around, clearly afraid of what was to come. It's quite a sight for Clarke, who has to stifle a laugh. Eventually, the team notices the pair and jumps, panicked.

Clarke clears her throat. "Help Bellamy set up the venue. We head out in five. And don't worry about the turkey. It's all settled."

The three nod and immediately scuttle off, going to their various tents to pack. Bellamy looks at Clarke, who has amusement written over her face.

"I'm going with you," Clarke says, turning to face Bellamy. "I need to check something with Lexa, anyway. The dinner's at Tondc. Courtesy of Lexa and the village head."

Bellamy nods. "So, what am I supposed to do? I was a Guard on the Ark, not a waiter."

Clarke shrugs. "Just set it up like a family dinner. There'll be some helpers from the village, too." She begins walking away towards her own tent.

"Roger that, princess," Bellamy calls back.

Clarke shakes her head and laughs.

"Heda?" One of the clan's leaders gestures for their commander, Lexa, to speak.

Lexa stands and raises her cup in a toast. "The skai kru don asked osir kom join em in celebrating thanksgiving. Gonakru, teik disha as a well deserved break. Today, osir rest. Tomorrow, osir gonplei. Enjoy the dina while yu can, gon disha may be the last gon some gon yu. Skai kru, ai hope yu live up kom our expectations," Lexa says, tipping the cup back and taking a sip of wine. The rest of the table raise their cups in cheers and celebration and take a sip as well.
