Lexa got off of Clarke, flopping on the couch as Clarke got up to see who interrupted them. She opened the door to find Bellamy. "Hey Clarke. We have to go to the council meeting now, we have come up with a decision. Do you know were I could find the Commander? She wasnt in her room."

"Shes right here," Clarke said opening the door fully so he could see that commander sitting on the couch.

"Oh," Bellamy did not seem pleased that Lexa and Clarke spent so much time together, "well come to the meeting room as soon as possible, I just have to go find Raven." At that he left them alone.

"Well I guess we better head to the council meeting then." Clarke stated the obvious.

Lexa groaned, "I just want to stay here with you."

"I do too but we have to go." Clarke smiled at the commanders adorableness

"Okay," Lexa said getting up, kissing Clarke on the cheek, "lets go."

Clarke, the commander and the rest of the council sat around the meeting table. Kane started off the meeting with, "the council has come up with a unanimous conclusion to join the coalition, Commander. We have not told the rest of the people yet but I believe that if we tell them what you told us, most will agree with our decision." The rest of the council nodded, "what do we have to do to officially join?"

"I am glad you made the right decision. A small group of you will be welcomed to the capital to be initiated into my coalition. You will then appoint one person to stay once everything is agreed upon to represent your clan as an ambassador. We will leave for Polis at first light tomorrow."

"How long will it take to reach Polis, Commander?" Abby asked.

"About half a day on horse. I will send Zoron to get some horses for you people, Chancellor. How many will be coming?"

"Thank you. I think it would be best to leave some of the council here to ensure things run smoothly. Raven, Bellamy, Octavia and I will come, the rest will stay behind. Any objections?" Abby replied.

When no one protested Lexa continued, "Good, I will send word to the capital to inform them of our arrival." 

The meeting continued on with various petty problems the arkers had for roughly another hour before everyone was excused.

"Clarke," Lexa whispered gently. When the blonde in her arms didnt stir, she tried again a bit louder, "Clarke, we need to get up."

The blonde just grumbled placing a finger on Lexas lips and mumbling "sshhhhh, sleeping."

Lexa kissed the finger on her lips gently, sitting up taking the blonde with her. "We are going to be late if you dont get ready, Clarke."

"Fine, fine Im getting up." Clarke groaned.

Once everyone made it outside the gate to where Zoron had prepared the horses they set off  for Polis.

Zoron and one of Lexas other warriors scouted the route while Clarke and Lexa lead the main group.

Octavia, Raven and Bellamy rode together while Abby rode along in front of them talking to some of Lexas warriors.

Raven whispered to her friends, so no one else could hear "Do you think Clarke and Lexa are fucking?"

"Oh definitely," Ocatavia replied quietly, "but I think its more than that, judging by the way they look at each other, they love each other."

"What?!" Bellamy exclaimed causing Abby and the warriors in front of them to turn around. Bellamy muttered an apology before looking at the other two girls

"Come on big brother, you cant be that blind. Look at them," Octavia said gesturing towards the two leaders as Lexa smiled at Clarke, "the commander smiles at no one, no one but Clarke."

Raven remained silent for a while before thinking of an idea, "Octavia and I will do all your washing for a whole month if you are right Bell, but if you are wrong you have to do ours."

"Deal," Bellamy confirmed, shaking Raven hand.

"Have fun with all the washing Bell." Octavia teased

The small group approached the large stone walls surrounding Polis just pasted mid day. As soon as the guards on the watch tower saw their Heda they opened the gates. Through the gates Clarke saw children playing, market stalls with people buzzing about and noticed not everyone in the walls were warriors as most of them were not wearing armor. Everyone looked lively and hapy. Lexa turned around calling to the people behind her, "welcome to Polis!" She then turned to Clarke, leaning closer, "I told you Polis would change the way you thought about us."

A/N: There will be a new chapter soon. I hope you enjoyed.
