Fire (CLEXA AU)

The Re-do

Lexa walked back and forth in front of the line of people in front of her.

"Does everyone understand how important your job here today is!?"

"Yes Chief Woods!" They all yelled back, watching the green eyed girl pace back and forth before them.

"Very well. When I tell you your job you go out and get it done! This may be the most important thing we've ever done as a station! Do you understand?!" Lexa yelled.

"Yes chief Woods!" The station yelled back.

Lexa walked up to Bellamy who was standing at the end of the line and went to each person to give them their jobs.

"Bellamy Turkey, Clarke stuffing, Octavia Green Beans, Raven mashed potatoes, Monty salad, Jasper, cranberry sauce, Lincoln gravy, Indra pie! Does everyone understand your task?!" Lexa yelled.

"Yes Chief woods!" They all chorused together.

"Great! Then get a move on!"

Everyone broke out of the line formation they were standing in and ran into the grocery store infront of them to gather the ingredients they needed for their jobs. Thanksgiving 2 had to be great, so people weren't so sad about missing the original yesterday, and Lexa was gonna make sure it was because her squad deserved it. Lexa knew the whole line formation outside the grocery store was a little over the top but it was definitely funny to watch people's curious faces while they walked past them going into the grocery store.

Lexa decided it would be best to go inside and make sure everyone was able to find what they needed ok. Lexa saw Bellamy and it looked like he was struggling to pick out a turkey so she decided to go help.

"Hey Bellamy, do you need help?"

"yeah sure." Bellamy shrugged, turning to look at Lexa.

"I'd take that one." Lexa pointed at a large one in the center of the case.

"Cool thanks Lexa." Bellamy smiled, and grabbed the turkey.

"No problem." Lexa walked away from Bellamy, heading towards the back of the store to see if anyone needed help, but they were all good. When the squad got back to the station, everyone marked off their own areas in the kitchen to start working while Lexa left to go get a surprise for everyone.

It was finally dinner time and the table was set for the thanksgiving re-do. The turkey was cooked perfectly thanks to Bellamy and all of the other things were set on the table nicely. Everyone sat down at the table, smiles all around.

"What if we all go around and say what we are thankful for?" Clarke suggested, and everyone nodded their heads. Clarke started off and everyone was watching her respectfully, all eyes focused on her. "I'm thankful for everyone at this table. I would walk through fire for all of you and I actually do that a lot so you know it's true." Everyone laughed a little. "I'm also thankful for Indra, Lincoln and Lexa who are great additions to our family."

After Clarke Bellamy went and then everyone around the table until only Lexa was left. "Um...I never thought I'd be a part of a group of people like this." Lexa started. "coming to station 100, I told myself I'd be strict and just focus on getting the job done but my plans changed the day I met you guys. Yes, you may all be super crazy and sometimes annoying people...but, you are also very kind and hardworking and well...I'm really glad to be here with you all today. So thank you..oh and also I got you guys something."

Lexa stood up from the table and got a bag and brought it back over. She went around the table handing each person a small bag and told them not to open it yet. When everyone had a bag, she went and sat back down in her seat. "You Can open them."

Everyone opened the small bags to find necklaces with dog tags on them. Each necklace was custom made for them with their names and and a small symbol next to it. Bellamy got a bell, Indra got a sword, Lincoln got a bear, Octavia got a butterfly, Raven got a wrench, Jasper got a music note, Monty got a plant, and Clarke got a heart. This was by far the most personal gift Lexa had ever given her co-workers, but she didn't regret it.

"Oh my god Lexa-" Clarke started to say but Lexa interrupted her.

"You guys don't have to wear it if you don't want to but I thought it would be a nice way to connect or something I don't really know. Maybe show we are a team, maybe it's just stupid though."

"No Lexa....we love it!" Raven yelled, putting the necklace around her neck. Everyone at the table did the same and Lexa felt butterflies in her stomach. They liked her gift.

"Did you get one?" Jasper asked from across the table and Lexa nodded her head yes. She pulled the necklace out from under her shirt to reveal a dog tag that said Lexa with an infinity sign as her symbol.

The rest of the thanksgiving dinner was amazing, and everyone had a great time telling stories and jokes until everyone was super full. Raven suggested that they have a dance party to work off some of the food they just ate, and everyone agreed and made their way to the lounge. At first everyone was just dancing and having fun but then Lincoln offered to perform one of his famous pole dances on the fire pole and no one could resist so everyone slid down to the garage to watch him perform. Lexa and Indra had already seen it before but every time he did it he added new moves and dances that they hadn't seen before making it extremely entertaining. Everyone was cheering Lincoln on until Raven quieted everyone.

"Do you guys smell that?" Raven asked, walking around in the garage.

Lexa did smell it and she could recognize that smell anywhere. "Smoke." Lexa stated and she looked around at everyone eyes wide. "Shit!"

Everyone ran out of the garage and up the stairs back through the lounge and into the kitchen where a small fire had started.

Bellamy was the first to run to the fire extinguisher and put out the fire that had destroyed the oven. When it was over, all 9 of them were staring at the burnt oven In front of them before Lexa spoke again.

"Bellamy I'm giving you money to go buy a new oven. No one ever speaks of this. Do you all understand?"

Everyone nodded their heads yes, and Lexa reached in her pocket handing Bellamy a wad of cash, and he ran out the door to go get a new oven. Lexa was just thankful Raven had noticed the smoke before the fire station burned down, because a fire station catching on fire would be the worst thing that they could possibly do as firefighters and they would all certainly be let go.

The room was quiet for almost a minute after Bellamy left but then they couldn't hold it in anymore and everyone started laughing. They were all rolling on the floor laughing so hard they were crying, as they thought of the irony of their situation. It was the best thanksgiving they could possibly ask for. And Lexa was happy to be a part of it.
