Everyone scattered as soon as Octavia announced their arrival to earth. Excitement washed over the group, people running around to explore the surrounding forest. Amelia watches them go with a smile, content to admire their surroundings from the safety of the drop ship.

Murphy shoots Amelia a grin before dashing off, Mbege following close behind. They vanish into the trees along with some others, while everyone else loiters around the drop ship.

"This is amazing," Hadley breathes, sliding into the spot Murphy just was. She loops her arm through Amelias, pulling her over to where Jasper and Monty are chatting off to the side. They notice the girls almost instantly, Monty stepping back to give them room.

"Well, hello, ladies," Jasper drawls, tipping the goggles on his forehead slightly as he mock bows, laughing at the eye roll he gets from the two. As he straightens back to his full height, his gaze darts to something over Hadley's shoulder. When Amelia turns around, there isn't anything that unusual happening amid the groups of teens to have caught his attention, "Look what we have here."

Jasper walks around the girls, making a b-line back to the drop ship. Amelia slips out of Hadley's arm, following after Jasper. He's always been too curious for his own good, and on the ground, something like that only means trouble. Monty and Hadley follow after them, their steps loud in the grass.

Standing in front of the ship is Clarke and Wells, looking down at something in front of them. With his head start and longer legs, Jasper reaches them first, looking over Clarke's shoulder to see what the two were up to.

"Ah, cool, a map. They got a bar in this town? I'll buy you a beer." Jasper snickers under his breath, clearly proud of himself.

Wells turns to Jasper, looking unamused at his poor attempt at a joke. He grabs Jasper by the arm, steering him away from him and Clarke. "You mind?"

"Whoa," Jasper says, nearly tripping over his long legs as he's walked backwards. Wells didn't seem all that aggressive, more annoyed than anything, though Amelia still quickens her pace, standing a few steps from Jasper just in case anything escalates.

"Hey, hey, hey, hands off him." From the forest comes Murphy, Mbege and a group of boys Amelia vaguely recognizes trailing behind then. Murphy looks around at the small group, eyes lingering on Amelia when he spots her standing next to Jasper before darting back to Wells, "he's with us."

"Don't think I didn't see that look he gave you," Hadley whispers into her ear. Amelia jumps, not expecting her to be that close. Hadley has the decency to not laugh, though she was probably more focused on the "look" Murphy had supposedly given her. Rolling her eyes Amelia swats her away, far too used to Hadley's teasing by now.

Her crush on Murphy wasn't anything new, but Hadley's teasing was never ending. The blush spreading across her face didn't help, though Amelia just ignores it while praying Hadley doesn't notice.

Wells quickly backs away from the group of boys, hands coming up in a placating matter as he tells them to relax. "We're just trying to figure out where we are."

"We're on the ground, that not good enough for you?" Bellamy comes from around the back of the drop ship with his sister, pulling Wells' attention away from Murphy and his group.

Some people seem to have also noticed the hostility radiating off of Murphy, gathering to see what was going on. Amelia rolls her eyes, annoyed that people can't mind their own business. A part of her realizes how hypocritical it was to think like that, but Amelia stomps the feeling down as she watches on.
