"I know it took courage to be outside with us today," Jaha said. We lost 18 people yesterday from the black rain. We stood outside, ready to do a Trikru burial; burning our dead. "We stand together now in the face of grave danger and grave tragedy. On the Ark, rain like this was only a dream. Now it's a nightmare because we know it could turn at any second and kill us, just like it did to 18 of our brothers and sisters, who we honor today, among them, Erin, Samuel, and Louis. May we meet again."

"May we meet again," everyone said in unison. Jaha then placed the torch he had in his hand, on the wood that the bodies are on, igniting it. I glanced at Bellamy, who was standing beside me.

"Too many funerals, too little time," Jasper said as we walked passed us.

"Show some respect for the dead," Bellamy said, giving him a look.

"What for? They don't mind."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes as he continued walking toward the gate. "Hey, where are you going?"

The boy shrugged, a smile on his face. "Wherever the day takes me."

"Got a chem tent?" Bellamy asked.

Jasper shook his head as he continued walking. "Nope."

Bellamy looked at me and I nodded. "Go. I'll be here, okay?"

He nodded before calling out to Jasper and running after him. "Jasper. Jasper. No one leaves without a chem tent."

I pursed my lips as, after a few seconds, Bellamy grabbed Jasper's jacket and pulled him back before talking. Jasper spoke before pulling away from Bellamy and walking out of camp, Bellamy following soon afterward.

When I walked into the hangar bay, the sound of rock music and people talking filled my ears. I raised an eyebrow when I saw a bunch of people dancing and drinking. A kid walked up to me, holding out a cup.

"You wanna drink?"

I shook my head. He just shrugged before downing whatever alcohol was in the cup and spun around, rejoining his friends. I took a large breath as I walked toward Niylah, who was serving the alcohol.

"Drink please," I said, loud enough for her to hear. She nodded. "It's been a long day."

I thanked her as she handed me a cup. Downing it all at once, I let out a sigh, the liquid stinging the back of my throat slightly. Ten days; in ten days the radiation will be here and I have no idea if Abby is even close to finding a way to save us all. Niylah refilled my cup, and I downed it again.

"I come bearing fruit!" I heard Jasper shout. I turned to see him, a smile on his face. Looks like he and Bellamy are back. The boy tossed Niylah a small bag full of which I assume are hallucinogenic nuts. I'm not going to be having any of those any time soon; first experience was bad enough.

I looked around the hangar bay, my eyes landing on Bellamy. A girl was walking toward him. Her name's Bree; she was part of the 100. I stood when the girl stopped in front of Bellamy, my jealousy getting the better of me. I strutted toward them, hearing Bree speak. "I don't really want to dance either."

When I made it to Bellamy, I wrapped my arm around his waist. "I think maybe you should find someone else to 'dance' with, Bree," I said, my face blank, but my voice clearly said I was jealous. "Someone other than my boyfriend."

The girl opened her mouth to say something, but I shoed her away. "Walk away... And find someone else."

With that, the girl spun around and walked back to everyone else. I clenched my jaw as Bellamy turned to look at me. When I looked at him, he had a smirk on his lips. "Jealousy's a good look on you, Sunshine."

I rolled my eyes at him, a smile making its way on my lips. I pulled him toward me, our faces an inch apart. "Maybe she shouldn't have flirted with my boyfriend."

I pulled Bellamy into a long, hard kiss before pulling away. "Drink with me."

Bellamy raised an eyebrow at me, his smirk never leaving. I grabbed his hand and pulled him toward Jasper, who looked at us with a big smile on his face. "Yes! Good idea. Let someone else save the world for once."

He handed both Bellamy and me a cup. I nodded in his direction before downing the alcohol.

Hi guys. I'm sorry this one was so short. There wasn't much in the episode. However, I hope that last scene in the hangar bay made up for it. I really enjoyed writing it! Well, in ten days, Praimfaya, or the death wave, will be here. I hope Abby found a solution that works. And sadly, we lost 18 people to the black rain yesterday... May we meet again. Only five more chapters you guys! Ahhhh!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you all in the next one.

Buh-bye.
