Newt POV

"Calm down, shank, it's you. Will you be my boyfriend?"

"I've been waiting so long for you to say that, love."

And I take her hand and we just sit happily, as the sun goes down and the sky goes black.

"Come on, love, we better go to our room now." I pull her up.

"Newt?" She whispers as we walk.

"Yeah?"

"I don't want to tell everyone."

"Why not?" I look at her, confused.

"You know what happened with Alex. I don't want that to happen again." She looks at me, tears filling up. "What if you get stung? Or Alby, or Minho? I couldn't live with it if you died, Newt."

"We don't have to tell anyone. And I will never leave you. But we have to tell just Alby and Minho." I look at her, begging her to agree.

"Alby and Minho, and Ben. But that's it, Newtie. That's it."

"Newtie?" I laugh, quietly.

"Yes. Newtie."

And then, we get to our room, and I hold her as we sleep. She's finally my girlfriend. My Dasha.

We walk down that morning, and find Alby sat alone, leaning against a tree. No one's anywhere near. "Hey," I say, sitting next to him. Dasha sits next to me and puts her head on my shoulder.

"Did something happen here?" Alby asks, motioning at Dasha. She blushes. She seems to blush a lot.

"Let's just say that I, I have a bloody girlfriend." I smile, stroking her hair.

"I knew it! So, who knows?" Alby looks at us. Guess who blushes?

That's right, it's Dasha.

"Just you, we don't want to tell everyone." Dasha says, surprisingly calm.

"Fair enough. But no mini Dashas and Newts running around, or there will be trouble." Alby half-smiles, but I know that he is happy for me.

"Now, we have more important things to think about. We need to have a Gathering." Alby says, face firm.

"Alby? What happened?" I ask, but he shakes his head. "We have a problem. I'll explain there, but let's just say... It's a leadership thing."

•~• •~• •~•

"We are gathered here today to discuss Nick and George. Nick and George believe that they should be leaders of the Glade. Nick and George, please explain." Albys clear voice echoed around the room. If I didn't have Dasha, I would've gone for Alby, or possibly Minho.

But how dare these bloody shanks try and take over? Alby is a strong leader, and he has kept this Glade under control.

"It's less about you, Alby, and more about Dasha." Nick says.

How dare they? Dasha has done nothing. She has done nothing but help! I start to stand up, but Dasha grabs my hand. "Calm it, shank." She whispers. She keeps me under control - that just proves how awesome she is.

"She have not been contributing. And why is Dasha here? She's a girl. It's not right!"

"Yes, Dasha's a girl, but what does that have to do with Leadership?" Alby asks.
