Cause this is what dreams should always be

Bellamy hadn't spotted any bodies on the walk back to the drop ship, although that didn't mean much as people could have wandered off further from the crash site for all he knew. If they didn't listen to him when he told them to stay close, then that wasn't his fault and he didn't feel bad if that did happen to anyone. They needed to stay close to the crash site for the time being, unless until they could make themselves some weapons so they could try to defend themselves if someone attacked them. The group knew this but he couldn't and wouldn't force people to listen to him, he watched as Aria took off in a run when the drop ship came into view. He let her go and continued to walk back with Octavia, he was suddenly worried about what they'd find in the drop ship. The ramp was shut meaning they had seen the fog, but that also meant that Aria's sister had been in an enclosed space with not only Murphy but other dangerous people who have already been locked away for murder. An imagine appeared in his mind of Aria finding her sister's dead body in the ship, but he was quick to shake that thought from his mind because he couldn't let himself think that way.

He arrived as the ramp slowly opened until it hit the ground again, he watched as everyone started rushing down the ramp but he didn't see Evie. He did however see Murphy with his few friends, he watched the other with a stern look on his face. He didn't see any blood or anything that would suggest that something had happened in the time the fog had surrounded the crash site, that could only mean that maybe nothing happened and Aria had been worried about nothing at all.

---

Evie smiled when she noticed Jasper also smiled at Finn's comment, "I can't promise anything." Jasper slowly let his eyes close which was understandable, he had been through so much recently and that would cause anyone to become tired. Reaching out she lightly ran her fingers through Jasper's dark hair in hopes that the action would sooth him enough that he could rest, even with the large amount of people that were around him. Turning she looked at Finn, "I know. She'll be here as soon as they fog has cleared, then we can get back to finding food and making weapons." She tried to keep herself thinking positive because that is what Aria would want, "Maybe my sister could start spending time with us." She suggested as Evie really liked the little group that she had surrounded herself with, she was sure that Aria would like her new friends. Neither of the twins had any other friends, but the small group had stood up for her and Aria would appreciate that.

She heard someone banging on the outside of the ramp before her sister's voice shouted for them to open the ramp, before she could stand up a few other people had found a lever that opened the ramp much more easier. She waited until the large group made their way out of the drop ship, it was only then that she stood up and quickly rushed to where she could see her sister. "Aria!" She called out in relief when she saw nothing bad had happened to her twin, she wrapped her arms around Aria's body and held onto her tightly. "I was so worried that something happened to you," She whispered so only her sister would hear her.

Finn nodded to Evie's words, glad to see that she was trying to stay positive. "Right. And we can actually get started on cooking that panther when they get back, too," he told her, knowing that everybody was probably hungry. It wouldn't surprise him, considering the most anybody had eaten had apparently been those blueberries. They really needed to get those weapons ready, because he doubted that the panther would last more than one meal for the group. "Yeah, she can start spending time with us any time you want her to," he assured her with a smile, knowing that Evie would probably feel better if her sister hung out with them, anyways. She didn't seem to be very fond of the idea of Aria spending time with Bellamy lately, after all, and at least if Aria spent time with them, she'd be with her sister and Evie wouldn't have to worry as much. It would be better for all of them, too, since it would add another member to their little group of outcasts - and they'd all be there for each other, which would hopefully keep them all safe.

When he heard the noise from outside, he moved to stand up. The ramp didn't take long to be let down and, before he could really blink, Evie was down the ramp and with her sister and the relief that the twins felt seemed to have permeated the air, because he could practically feel it, too. Or maybe he was just relieved that the other twin was back because it meant that Evie wouldn't be freaking out, worrying, or grieving with the absence or loss of her sister.

---

Aria sighed in relief the moment she saw her sister and heard her call out to her. Quickly wrapping her arms around her sister, she gave Evie a tight hug, glad that nothing had happened. "You're telling me," she said lightly, trying to joke it off, though she frowned slightly. "We heard a horn before the fog came and managed to hide when it started showing up. I was worried everybody here wouldn't see it in time and it would get in the drop ship, where you were," she told her sister quietly before she pulled back to eye her sister carefully, checking for injuries or anything out of the ordinary. "Nothing happened on the drop ship, right?" she asked softly, taking in her features. Just because the fog hadn't gotten to her didn't mean that nothing happened - and, though she couldn't see any injuries, that didn't necessarily mean that the others hadn't bothered her. She knew somebody had probably at least said something cruel or tried to start something with her sister because that many people couldn't be stuck on the drop ship together and not try to do something.

Regardless, she was at least glad to see that her sister was okay. She wasn't sure how she would have reacted if something terrible had happened. Quickly, she pushed those thoughts away, because there was no point in thinking about it. Her sister was safe and that was all that mattered now.

Bellamy watched as Aria was reunited with her twin sister once again, from what he could see there didn't seem to be able harm done to the younger Palmer twin which he was thankful for. He didn't need Aria getting angry over someone hurting her sister, he wouldn't stand for that because the twins hadn't actually done anything wrong to anyone. All they had done was be born a twin, they hadn't broken any laws apart from the ones that got them arrested. So really no one should hate them as it was their parents who didn't get punished for having a second child, not that it was Mrs Palmer's fault as she didn't make herself have twins. But just because he thought that way now, didn't mean other people who change their minds about the twins. "Make a fire, we need to cook the panther now." He called out to everyone as they seemed to be happy to be out of the drop ship again, he could understand why as there wouldn't have been a whole lot of room in there. Watching as some people ran off to find wood while others started on getting the panther ready to be cooked, his eyes scanned the area that they would now call their own to make sure everything they needed was getting done.

It only took a handful of minutes until there was a large fire going and the panther meat was being cooked, he only noticed then just how hungry he was as the blueberries didn't do much. He could only imagine how everyone else was feeling, he couldn't wait to eat and didn't care what the panther tasted like as it was food and it would fill their stomachs enough.

---

"No, people saw the fog coming and screamed so we'd all know. I don't even know if we all got into the drop ship, I haven't counted or anything." Evie told her sister as she really hoped no one had gotten caught in the fog, she looked at Aria even though she didn't want to ever let her sister go again. "No... well yes, Murphy tried to start something but Finn, Clarke and Wells stood up for me. I also stood up for both of us and it seemed to make everyone back off, at least for the time being." She didn't know how long her words would keep the group from attacking them, either verbally or physically. She was sure most of them would think about saying or doing anything, after Evie said that she would be the only person that could help if anyone became injured. Though it still made her nervous, the group could still suddenly turn on them at any time and Evie would do everything in her power to protect her sister. But she wouldn't think about that now, she was so happy that Aria was standing there in front of her and her worries had washed away the second she realised nothing bad had happened to her twin sister.

She also looked over her sister, "Are you sure you're okay? If Bellamy tried anything, I will hurt him when he lease expects it." Evie said and although she's not the violent type, if anything happened to her sister than she would do what she needed to to make sure the person didn't get away with it.

Finn wasn't entirely sure what he could do at this point. Evie was preoccupied with her sister and everybody else was busy with other things. After a moment, he simply made his way back into the drop ship to keep an eye on Jasper while Evie and Aria spoke, since he was sure Evie would come back in to continue taking care of the boy. "You're not missing Evie's attention too much already, are you?" Finn asked jokingly as he approached the boy. Monty was still there, the loyal friend keeping watch over Jasper. It was admirable, really, and Finn was sure that Monty would put his life on the line for Jasper a thousand times over. Jasper chuckled lowly, though the action seemed to pain him because he gripped at his chest, where the injury was. It made Finn feel a bit guilty for making a joke when the boy probably couldn't really enjoy it right now. "It's fine," Jasper assured and Finn wasn't sure whether he was referring to Finn's joke or the worried expression that Finn had over the boy's injuries. Regardless, Finn offered a nod and a quiet, "That's good."

Monty glanced towards the ramp for a moment before resting his eyes back on Finn and Jasper. "Once the food's done, I'll go out and get you some meat," he promised his friend, though he wasn't sure if Jasper could handle the food just yet. He figured it would be better for him, though, considering that he needed to keep up his strength. "You two are really close, aren't you?" Finn asked with curiosity as he glanced back and forth between the two. Monty nodded. "Like brothers," Monty answered.

---

In honesty, Aria wasn't entirely sure what surprised her more: hearing that the trio had stood up for her sister or hearing that Evie had stood up for herself. Regardless, she couldn't help but grin proudly and hug her sister tightly once more. "That's wonderful that you stood up for yourself," she told her sister quietly. She knew it was probably hard to do, considering Aria was generally the person who had an easier time speaking out towards others and Evie was usually concentrated on trying to make sure that others were okay. "Maybe I won't have to worry about you as much," she teased her sister, though she knew she would still worry about her sister regardless. It was just in her nature, just as it was in her sister's nature to worry about her. "You would think Murphy would give up trying to start things when he keeps getting in trouble for it. I'm glad you're okay, though," she murmured as she eyed her sister carefully before she offered a small smile. "So... Finn stood up for you, huh?" she asked teasingly.

But, then, her sister brought up Bellamy and Aria had to refrain from laughing. "Oh, please. I would kick Bellamy's ass if he tried anything, you know that," she joked before blinking as she realized something. Pulling off the backpack, she opened it to reveal the red seaweed. "I managed to get the seaweed, by the way. Why didn't anybody warn me about that freaky serpent that tried to eat me?" she said, the last bit coming out light-hearted because she didn't want Evie to worry. "You should have seen Bellamy's face, it was priceless."

Bellamy decided to give Aria a break from having him around, it was obvious that her sister didn't like him and he understood why. He'd give them as much time together as they wanted, which he assumed would be a lot considering what they have been through recently. He walked closer to the fire that was burning brightly, he knew the fire or smoke could attract unwanted attention but right now they needed the fire. To keep warm but they also needed to eat the panther, before the meat went bad. He stood there watching the flames before he decided on a way to keep everyone in line, "We are on this Earth because the Ark didn't want us. They didn't care about us, they sent us down here to die. Their still ruling us by having these bracelets around our wrists, you can eat when the bracelet comes off." He announced loudly so everyone could hear him, everyone would be hungry and he was pretty sure that he was right. No one on the Ark thought they'd survive the landing or they wouldn't last long on Earth, so why should they continue to wear the bracelets that the Ark forced onto them.

He grinned when about half of the group cheered in agreement to what he had said, he stood there and watched as someone found a metal pole from the drop ship and a rock that could be used to take the bracelets off. He didn't care if the Ark thought they were dying, if they did than they wouldn't come down. If the Ark came down, they'd lose the freedom they had been given on Earth and Bellamy didn't want that to happen.

---

Evie still felt proud in herself for standing up to Murphy, "I think Murphy just enjoys causing trouble. And no, you don't have to worry about me." She smiled at her sister as they would never stop worrying about each other, especially not anytime soon considering what had just happened. It seemed like they couldn't even be apart without something happening, first she had gone out and didn't come back until the next day and then Aria got cut off by some weird yellow fog. "I'm not going to let you out of my sight," She was serious even if that would be a hard task to do, they would have to be apart at some point but Evie would deal with that when and if it happened. "Yes, Finn did stick up for me. I like him, Aria and I know you'll like him too. I actually want you to come meet him, Jasper and Monty. You'll love them," She told her sister as they could all be friends, Aria already knew Clarke and Wells a little but they were still considered a friend to Evie now.

"That's true but I'll still ask, I need to be sure that he keeps his words and hands to himself." She smiled sweetly at her sister with didn't go with what she had said, "Thank you. I'm sorry I didn't warn you, I forgot as I was too worried about Jasper. It didn't hurt you, right?" She asked as she quickly looked her sister over again, she still didn't see any wounds so she reached into her sister's backpack and pulled the seaweed out. "This is great, thank you." She glanced over at Bellamy when he spoke, she frowned at what he said about the bracelets. "I thought he said we didn't have any rules here," She murmured to her sister before she walked back into the drop ship and placed the seaweed in a safe place.

"When is Evie going to come back in to take care of me?" Jasper asked, though his tone was light and joking. The question prompted Finn to laugh quietly before he lifted his shoulders in a shrug. "Probably in a bit. She's reuniting with her sister at the moment," he informed the boy, to which Jasper nodded. "That's nice," Jasper chimed quietly before closing his eyes as he tried to relax. He was still in pain and it showed on his features every now and then, but Finn was impressed with how strong the boy was that he could go through all of this and still be able to joke around like crazy. Maybe it was just Jasper's coping mechanism, Finn wasn't entirely sure. "For now, though, you should just relax as much as you can, maybe get some rest if you can manage to," Finn suggested, knowing that the day had probably taken a lot out of the poor guy. Jasper was honestly lucky to still be alive.

Before Jasper could reply, they could hear cheering from outside and Finn turned his attention to the ramp with curiosity. What was going on outside that could prompt them to be celebrating? He supposed it could be the fact that they had survived the fog, that they had brought Jasper back and that they had food, but that celebrating could have been done earlier, so what was this celebration about? Seeing Evie and her sister coming in, Finn made his way over with a frown. "What's going on outside?" he asked quietly, not wanting to be too loud as to avoid Jasper getting curious enough to try to come over as well. He doubted the boy would attempt it, but it was always better to be safe than sorry.

---

"Oh? You're never letting me out of your sight? Good, then we're on common ground, because I'm not letting you out of my sight, either," Aria said with a grin as she knew that she would stick close to her sister as much as she could. Of course, since Evie had managed to make friends, she knew that she couldn't be around her sister all the time, because she probably wanted to spend time with her newfound friends, but still. "I probably won't like him as much as you do," she teased quietly, having whispered it in her sister's ear. Though she still wasn't sure if her sister had a thing for Finn or not, it was still fun to tease her and Aria didn't plan on letting it go any time soon. It was just too fun to tease her younger twin. It surprised her to hear that Evie wanted her to meet her friends, though. Aria didn't mind, so she offered a slight nod in response to the suggestion.

Rolling her eyes at Evie's words, she scoffed lowly. "Oh, please. Bellamy's going to have most of the girls here lining up for him. Besides, we're the twins. Even if he is nice right now, there's no way he would actually genuinely care for either of us. He just doesn't want the group to turn against each other, that's all," she drawled before she shook her head. "No, it didn't hurt me. I was too quick for it," she joked lightly before blinking as she heard Bellamy's words and the cheers that erupted afterwards. Turning her attention towards him and the group, she rolled her eyes. "Rules or no rules, I'm not taking off my bracelet and letting our Dad think we're dead," she pointed out casually before she followed her sister.

Bellamy knew there would be a handful of people that wouldn't listen to what he was saying, that was completely up to them and he didn't really care what they did. But most of the group would eventually listen to him and that is what he wanted, it wasn't like he had anyone on The Ark that was watching to see if he was still or not. He wasn't even sure if the other families could see the information that the bracelets were giving The Ark, the kids here in The 100 group still had family up on The Ark. But he knew that at least Clarke's mother and the twin's father would be in the lab, those two would at least be keeping track of what the bracelets were telling them about the Earth. He would still make sure that he got as many bracelets off people's wrists that he could, the more that came off the better they'd be because they won't be under the Ark's control any longer. He'd continue to work on the people who weren't entirely sure about taking the metal bracelets off, the ones who agreed so quickly seemed to be people who didn't have much left on the Ark.

They either didn't have family or they weren't close to their family, although he still had work to do. He couldn't see the twins taking their bracelets off and he wasn't going to have them held down so someone could remove the bracelets, he wasn't going to go that low in actually forcing someone to do anything they didn't want. But he knew even having the twins bracelets still working, the Ark would eventually find out that maybe Earth was survivable if those two could continue to live.

---

A warm blush quickly appeared across Evie's cheeks and she gave her sister a light nudge, "Shut up." She murmured quietly when Aria talked about Finn, why was hearing his name making her blush? She hadn't even known him for long and yet she was blushing over him, even though her sister could see her blush. Evie pretended like it wasn't there which was harder than she first thought, so she just tried to push those thoughts about blushing over Finn to the back of her mind. "Are you going to be one of those girls lining up? He's been paying attention to you more over anyone else," She grinned more so to herself than at her sister, however she did know that it would be easy for Bellamy to stand up for them now but turn his back on them later. Especially now that he was back around the group of people that didn't like the twins, if he wanted to be the leader than he couldn't always stick up for them. She was so glad that the serpent hadn't gotten close enough to Aria that it would hurt her, she really had forgotten even though the serpent had almost gotten her as well.

As she walked into the drop ship, her eyes landed on Finn and sighed at his question. "Bellamy is only letting us eat if we take our bracelets off, it's stupid because the Ark needs to know that we're surviving down here." She told Finn softly so Jasper wouldn't overhear and want to help out, he'd find out later on when he was feeling stronger but for now he didn't need to know what was going on outside. "So much for him telling us that we don't have any rules, he's making new rules." She glanced between Aria and Finn, she wasn't sure about Bellamy being the leader. She'd much rather the leader be Aria or even Clarke, although no one else would let that happen.

Finn wasn't sure what the two had been talking about before they came into the ship, but he could see that Evie's cheeks were a little bright and it made him wonder if she was okay - or if her sister had just said something that embarrassed her. He assumed it was the latter, as she hadn't said anything about not feeling well. By the time the two started talking to him, he nodded in understanding to Evie's words. "They do need to know that we're surviving, especially with the air running out on the Ark," he mentioned after a moment, stuffing his hands in his jacket pocket as he glanced between the twins. Up closer, he could take in their differences more easily, something that had been somewhat more difficult far away. They were still easy to tell apart either way, but up close, it just made it easier. He didn't mention this, though, because it wasn't important at the moment and he was certain that they were already aware of it, anyways. Still, in his opinion, he could easily decide that Evie was more attractive to him (better to keep that a secret, for now.)

After a moment, he offered Evie a grin and shrugged. "Well, he did say no rules, right?" he asked, noticing that Aria was already heading down the ramp. Nudging Evie, he made his way down, too. "I'll get us both something to eat," he assured her. Silently, he wondered when they were going to tell everybody about the Ark running out of air. He doubted the others would care, though, since they were so busy being rebellious and following Bellamy's lead. Didn't they understand that, if those from the Ark came down, though, then they would have more people to fight against whoever was out there?

---

Aria couldn't help but to grin when she spotted her sister's blush and was tempted to say, You do like him! but didn't want Finn to hear, so she instead shook her head. "We'll talk about this later," she teased her sister quietly, though her attention got caught by Evie's question. Scoffing, she tried to act disinterested and pretended that the warmth in her cheeks had been prompted by being inside the ship again. "Please. Me, line up to get his attention? I'd rather save myself the embarrassment and trouble," she said casually before turning her attention to the guys on the drop ship. It seemed like Jasper had fallen asleep, though Monty was busy taking care of his friend. It was almost a nice sight, if it hadn't been for the fact that poor Jasper was so badly injured. She was glad it wasn't anything too serious, though, and that it seemed like he would survive - especially since he was already doing this well. Plus, they had more supplies to take care of him, which increased his (and, ultimately, the group's) chances of survival.

Turning her attention back to the conversation with Finn, she blinked. "The air's running out?" she asked quietly, unable to help but to feel just a little panicky with the thought that her Mom and Dad were up there, running out of air, while people down here were trying to make it look like Earth wasn't survivable. "Evie and I aren't going to be taking off our bracelets, that's for sure," she murmured before turning her attention back to the ramp, a frown etching its way onto her features. "I dare him to try to stop me from eating," she hummed out before making her way back down the ramp. Hearing that Finn was going to get himself and Evie something, she figured she'd grab something for Monty and Jasper, too.

Evie sighed softly as she watched her sister walk away, she had wanted to tell Aria that the Ark was running out of air herself. She had wanted to take her away so they could have some privacy, she knew that their parents would be just fine. But she wasn't upset with Finn for letting it slip as she hadn't told him or Clarke not to tell her sister, in fact the whole group needed to know as it could stop people from taking their bracelets off. But she highly doubted that any of them would listen to anyone but Bellamy right now, looking at Finn she frowned softly and followed him down the ramp. "Finn, don't take your bracelet off." She had a feeling that he wouldn't but she just wanted to make sure that he didn't, unless he really had to take it off which probably wouldn't happen. She stood there and watched her sister grab herself some food while also taking more which she assumed was for Jasper and Monty, she watched as Murphy glanced over to Bellamy who gave a slight shake of his head. Like he was telling Murphy to leave Aria alone, she knew she'd have to keep a very close eye on Murphy and Bellamy from now on.

She'd have to talk to her sister later or even tomorrow, they had been through a lot already and deserved to have some time where nothing happened to them and they didn't have to worry about a single thing. She stood where she was standing so she could keep an eye on not just her sister, but Finn as well. It seemed that Bellamy had allowed Aria to get some food, but he could easily decide that Finn wasn't allowed until he took his bracelet off and Evie felt uneasy about this situation.

---

Bellamy knew that Aria wouldn't take her bracelet off because she actually had her parents still on the Ark, but he wasn't going to let her starve because she refused to take the bracelet off. So he shook his head at Murphy who clearly didn't want anyone taking the cooked meat if they still wore the metal bracelet, he stood there watching Aria as she took food for herself and for someone else. He assumed it was for her sister or the two boys inside the drop ship, considering neither of the boys had ventured outside so they didn't have any food. "Only after you take that bracelet off," He told Finn when he noticed he was going to take some food, he glanced behind the boy to where the other twin was standing. He didn't want a fight to break out but it was obvious that Murphy was wanting to start one, he hadn't asked for this. As Finn continued to take food for himself and the twin, it seemed that Murphy had too much and punched the next boy who tried to take food without taking his bracelet off.

He pinched the bridge of his nose as he was beginning to feel like he was baby sitting people, "That's enough, Murphy." He spoke harshly as the boy who had been punched was taken away by what seemed to be a friend, he really did need to have a word with Murphy as this couldn't continue to happen.

Finn offered a smile as he went ahead to grab two pieces of the panther meat. Hearing Bellamy's words, he arched an eyebrow. "I thought you said there were no rules," he pointed out casually, though he didn't linger. He took the two pieces and made his way over to Evie and offered one of them out to her. "Go ahead and enjoy," he told her quietly, though it wasn't long before he heard somebody get punched. Glancing over, he was rather surprised to see that Murphy had hit somebody. But, then, he supposed it was to be expected - Murphy had quite the temper, after all, and it was fairly annoying. Regardless, he shook the thought away and tried not to feel guilty about causing the entire thing and instead tried to concentrate on hanging out with Evie and the others. "Let's get back on the drop ship, alright?" he suggested quietly before heading inside.

Jasper was still asleep when they got in and Finn watched as Monty watched his friend with concern. Though Jasper appeared to be fine, Finn could understand Monty's concern, given how close the two were. "You think he'll wake up for food?" Finn asked, knowing that Aria would be inside with the others' food soon. Monty laughed quietly and shrugged. "Maybe," he said, "I guess we'll have to wait and see."

---

Aria mock-saluted Bellamy as she grabbed food for herself and Monty and Jasper. She managed a smile, but let it quickly fall into a frown as she recalled that Bellamy was having people take off their bracelets for food - and, the more people that took of their bracelets, the less likely it was that her parents or anybody else's would get to come down from the Ark. They would think everybody was dying. Scowling instead, she waited for Finn to get his and Evie's food and head inside. Thankfully, nothing more broke out aside from the punch that Murphy threw at one of the other guys - and, admittedly, she was more than a little surprised to hear Bellamy tell Murphy to stop. Regardless, it didn't lift her spirits much, not with the knowledge that the Ark was running out of air and that, because of these people, her parents could die any time soon.

With a sigh, she turned and made her way back into the drop ship, smiling as she saw her sister and the others. "Miss me?" she asked in a sing-song voice before heading over to Monty and Jasper. By then, Jasper had woken up and she gave them both their food before she started eating.

(I'll get type out Jasper and Monty, seeing as Bellamy is outside and not with the group. I hope that's alright?)

Jasper had gotten Monty to help him sit up a little so he could eat, his stomach was rumbling and was starting to become sore from the lack of food. "Of course we missed you, I haven't gotten to meet the other twin yet. I'm Jasper," He spoke when Aria made her way back over to the little group, he gave her a small smile as he was still in pain although the pain could have been much stronger and he knew that. It was better for him to have people around him, it made him stop thinking about what he had been through. "Thank you, you two really are different. I thought we wouldn't be able to tell you apart," Monty commented as he took his panther meat from the older twin, Jasper also took his meat and took small mouthfuls of it. Jasper kept glancing between the twins, they did look very similar and if he hadn't gotten to know Evie than he wouldn't have a clue who was who.

But now he could see all the differences and he knew Evie more than her sister, but he was sure that would change considering their little group were pretty much outcasts now. He didn't mind as he'd rather have a small amount of friends that he could trust, over not being able to trust anyone.

---

Evie sat in the drop ship with the others and started to eat the panther meat, she had never been so grateful of having something to eat before. "Everyone says that, you'll all soon learn that I'm the better twin." She smiled as she glanced over at her sister, she had never understood why people found it hard remembering which twin was who. Although she had grown up with Aria and wasn't on the outside looking at them, she had lost count of how many times someone has thought she was Aria or has been called Aria. She tried not to get angry or upset over it, it was easy enough to correct and people who didn't know them weren't to blame if they made a simple mistake like that. As she took another bit she noticed that neither Clarke nor Wells had gotten some food, she doubted that Bellamy would even allow them after Finn and Aria took some.

"Here. both of you need it." She said as she handed her piece of meat over to Clarke, hoping that she'd share with Wells even though the tension between them was thick. "Thank you, Evie." Clarke spoke quietly and was clearly grateful to eat, Evie would just share with Aria or maybe even Finn or just go without. She had eaten a few mouthfuls so she could go on that, or so she thought.

(That's totally fine!)

Finn couldn't help but be amused by Jasper's introduction, but he had begun to learn that Jasper was rather silly, anyways. It wasn't a major thing and it was becoming something that Finn was used to by now - which was a surprise to the boy, considering that they had only been there for two days. "Way to introduce yourself, Jasper," he joked, grinning as he raised his panther meat as if in cheers before he took a bite of it. Finn could understand Monty's mention of having expected to be unable to tell the two apart - he had expected it to be difficult, too, but with knowing which girl was who, it was easier to know which twin was which. Evie's hair was straighter and a lighter brown and she was more attractive, in his opinion, whereas Aria's was wavy and dark. That was really the only way that he could tell them apart when it came to appearance - though it was clear that they had mostly different personalities.

When Evie gave her food away, he was about to offer his, but Aria beat him to it. Shrugging it off, he moved to sit down and glanced around at the group. "Why do you think Bellamy's having everybody take off their bracelets, anyways?" he asked with a frown, only for Clarke to scoff. "Isn't it clear? He wants control. If the Ark comes down, he loses that," she pointed out, though Finn was sure that there was more to it than just that.

---

Aria smiled in response to Jasper's words and nodded slightly. "It's great to finally get to meet you two," she greeted Monty and Jasper, grinning as she made sure that they securely had their food. Hearing her sister's words, she arched an eyebrow and looked over at her. "Oh? The better twin? That's what you are now?" she asked teasingly before she let out a laugh and shook her head. She thought over Monty's words, though it didn't make sense to her how anybody could really not be able to tell them apart. Though they looked alike, there were differences between them. And though they were subtle, they weren't so subtle that they weren't entirely noticeable. She didn't comment on it, though, because she knew that nobody could really keep track of either of them - the only way that their parents really knew who was who was because of Evie's interest in medical things, whereas Aria was more interested in leadership-based things.

Seeing that her sister had given up her food, she stared at Evie for a long moment and went ahead to offered her food to her. "Eat as much as you want," she told her with a grin, knowing that she wasn't entirely hungry. Panic attacks usually made her lose her appetite, so she didn't eat much after them.

Wells wasn't so convinced that Bellamy just wanted the power that he had pushed onto himself, if that was the case then he wouldn't want anything to do with the twins. He would have been harder on a lot more people, that is if he can actually be a leader and lead the group to living on Earth safely. "Even if that is just what he wants, he's going to make sure that he gets power and who knows what will happen then." He didn't want to ruin the mood or anything but he was just being realistic, Bellamy could do anything to the small group if he wanted to enforce power on the rest of them. They were just sitting ducks, waiting for something to happen to them. Jasper frowned at what was being said, he swallowed the mouthful of meat that he was chewing. "How about we find a nicer topic to talk about? I have survived this far, that's something to celebrate." Jasper said as he never did like people around him being negative, it just seemed to weigh everything down and certainly brought down any good mood that anyone was feeling.

He wasn't really sure what they should talk about though, so he took another bite of his meat and let anyone else suggest something they could talk about. He would only admit to himself and Monty, that he was still a little nervous being around the twins. They really were beautiful and they were female, both of those things made him rather nervous.

---

Evie smiled as she took the piece of meat from her sister, "Thanks." She took a bit not knowing why her sister didn't seem to have an appetite, but she wasn't going to ask now when they were sitting with everyone. She agreed with Wells but she could see where Jasper was coming from, "We all learnt about Earth growing up. What did you all think of or dream of doing, if we ever did get down here?" She asked knowing it would be an easy topic to talk about, "I'll go first. I wanted to see all the flowers that I possibly could and I also wanted to be around the animals, not the bugs but the other animals. Like rabbits and horses and maybe even a bear," She smiled as she spoke as she had been told so many stories about all of those things, they all had grown up hearing these stories about what had been on Earth before the bombs wiped everything out. She had seen pictures but knew she wanted to see the real flowers and animals, to walk through a field of tall green grass and just feel it.

Taking another bit she sat there and waited for anyone to take a turn after her, it was an easy way of also getting to know each other more. They would get to know Aria a little bit, which was always good in Evie's opinion. She chewed and swallowed her mouthful, she wasn't going to eat too much so her sister could still have something in her stomach.

Grinning, Finn leaned forward to ruffle Jasper's hair. "Yeah, and you better keep surviving with the rest of us," he informed the boy, though he was grateful for the change in subject. He wasn't entirely sure how to answer Evie's question, considering what they had run into recently. "Well, I definitely didn't think we'd come across two-headed deer or giant serpents that want to eat us," he joked lightly, though he was being honest at the same time. "I don't know. I was kind of eager to see what the stars look like from this side, I guess. I wanted to see water, for sure, and I got that at least." It hadn't been a pleasant visit with the water, of course, but at least the water had been there and it hadn't seemed to have been toxic or dangerous for them - which was a good thing. "I kind of want to learn how to swim - you know, in a watery area that doesn't have giant serpents trying to attack."

He looked to the others, wondering if anybody had any other desires of things to see, if anybody else had had ideals or dreams of what Earth would have been like. He knew they probably all had different expectations, so it would probably be fun to listen to them all.

---

"I don't really think Bellamy's all that bad of a person," Aria said honestly. "I mean, sure, he's trying to make people take off their bracelets, but he came down here to protect his sister, the same way I did." She fell quiet after her short defense of Bellamy, mostly because she didn't want her sister to tease her about it later, and grinned to her sister's gratitude. "You don't have to thank me," she chimed before shifting to try to get comfortable while sitting down on the cold metal floor of the drop ship. Hearing her sister's question, she blinked slowly and thought about it before she lifted her shoulders in a shrug. "I really wanted to see birds. Especially hummingbirds or falcons or even owls, but I haven't seen any yet," she murmured before she let out a sigh. "I guess I really just wanted to see anything that was free, because humans have been stuck in space for so long."

She wasn't sure if it was an answer that anybody was really interested in, but she couldn't care less. She was just being honest - not that she had a reason to be anything else on the subject at hand.

The little group sat there in the drop ship and talked, Monty mentioned that he wanted to see mountains close up while Jasper wanted to come across a beach or the ocean which didn't seem to be anywhere close to where they crash landed. Clarke just said that she wanted to see anything that she could and Wells didn't answer as he was now eating the panther meat, "I'm just glad that we made it down here. It's so much better than being stuck on the Ark, even with the threat that we might not be alone." Jasper said which was a little surprising, he should have been the last person who wanted to be on Earth. But for now he wasn't angry with whoever attacked him, he figured that whoever was out there hadn't seen many other people in their life. Especially people who fall down from the sky, that would freak out anyone who didn't know that their were people who lived up in space. Jasper also didn't want to hold any grudges on anyone, he obviously wasn't allowed on the other side of the lake and that is why he was speared.

They would shortly be making their own weapons and protecting themselves, whoever had thrown the spear at him was doing just that. He didn't want to waste his time in being angry or upset over what happened to him, yes he was still pretty damn scared as he had nearly been killed but he would overcome that in time.

---

Evie seemed to be the only one who caught onto Aria defending Bellamy, she'd have to mention it later when they were alone and could speak in private. Aria had already teased her about Finn, but at least Finn wasn't trying to be the leader and wasn't making people take their bracelets off. But she wouldn't dwell on that now as they were meant to be talking and having a nice time, if they could have a nice time that is. She smiled as she listened to what everyone said, she glanced over at Finn when he mentioned the two-headed deer and the serpent. She already knew what Aria's answer would be, their Mum had already gotten books about birds for Aria to look through when they were younger. Evie never really became interested in birds as she was obsessed with flowers, "I'm sure we'll see some birds soon. I'm sure their around somewhere," She assured her sister, if a giant serpent and a two-headed deer were alive than birds had to be as well.

She nodded her head in agreement of what Jasper said, she was glad to be on Earth and to breathe fresh clean air. To feel the wind and hear the running of water, so there may be danger out there. They'll deal with that when they need to, but they were still on Earth and it was beautiful.

"I think that we were attacked because we crossed a boundary," Finn said after a moment, unsure of if he was right or not, but he figured it made sense. "I mean, we were out there for an entire day, and we didn't get attacked until the next morning, after we crossed that lake or whatever. Maybe that's their territory. And the fact that they didn't kill Jasper could have been like giving us a warning; Cross the lake anymore and we'll kill you next time, you know?" He wasn't entirely sure if it made sense or not, but it made sense to him, so he hoped that it would make sense to the others as well. Maybe he was just over-thinking it all, but he was at least trying to assume with the entire thing. Since Jasper was glad to at least be alive, it was only fair to mention his assumption over why Jasper had been alive, at least. "At least, with that, we might at least know that we won't get killed unless we cross the boundary, right?" Or, he hoped, anyways.

Then, he realized, that he had brought up something that might have been a little heavy for the previous topic, but he was trying to lift their spirits, let them know that they had a chance of living. They needed to survive here, after all, if they wanted those that they cared about on the Ark to come down.

---

Aria smiled slightly after she heard Evie's assurance and nodded. "Yeah, maybe they'll be big enough to carry us away and feed us to their baby birdies," she joked lightly, trying to make light of the situation of freaky animals. Two-headed deer and man-eating serpents were enough to freak anybody out, but she tried to concentrate on the fact that it was a little fascinating how everything on Earth had seemed to have changed from what the books had described everything as. She wasn't sure what to think about it all, honestly, so it was much easier to just joke about it and pretend that everything was okay. Hearing Finn mention something about boundaries, she nodded in agreement, because it made sense - it explained why nobody got attacked until they were across the lake, at least, and why they hadn't been attacked out in the open when it was clear that outsiders were around, watching them. She didn't comment on it, though.

Leaning back on her hands, she eyed the group quietly for a moment before she smiled again. "Regardless of the dangers here, though, it is pretty great to be here, considering the Earth wasn't supposed to be inhabitable for another hundred years," she hummed out.

Evie didn't really want to think about the reason why Jasper had been attacked, but it was something they should talk about. Maybe not with Jasper around although he didn't seem to mind, he didn't look like he wanted Finn to stop speaking nor did he actually say something about it. "You're probably right, Finn. But if that side of the lake is their territory, then they could have told us that instead of trying to kill one of us. How hard would it be to say stay on this side of the lake and be done with it?" She knew that the people on Earth probably wouldn't be that nice, they'd see the group as a big threat and wouldn't waste time in talking to them. They were protecting their territory and that could have been the person's job or task, it was still pretty rude and Evie hated rude or mean people as it wasn't good to be that way. She glanced at Jasper and wished that she could take his pain away, but she couldn't and she was beginning to feel useless even if she wasn't.

"I am glad that we're down here," She agreed with her sister as Earth was beautiful, or at least what they had seen so far was beautiful. "If past the lake is their territory, than how will we get to Mount Weather? We really need those supplies," Clarke pointed out something that they'd have to work a way around, they did need the supplies but Clarke wouldn't risk anyone's life in getting to the bunker.

---

"Maybe we shouldn't try to get to Mount Weather, they've already warned us once. I doubt they'd warn us again, they'll probably kill us if we tried crossing again." Monty spoke as he finished off eating his panther meat, he could have easily lost his best friend and he wasn't going to allow that to happen again. Or have someone else go through the pain of having a spear pierce their body, "There could be other bunkers around here that could have supplies. Let's work out something else, before we try to get to Mount Weather again." He told the group as they had to try and survive on their own before people their own people at risk again, once they started making weapons then they could hunt animals for food. Maybe they didn't need the supplies from the bunker, "Yeah. Let's do that, Clarke." Jasper agreed with his best friend.

"Besides if anyone else gets hurt, than I won't have Evie's full attention on me and we all know how much I like her attention." Jasper grinned as he tried to lighten the mood that had fallen onto them, he was still very slowly eating as he didn't want to eat too quickly even though his stomach was starving for something.

Finn laughed lightly to Jasper's words, because it seemed that the boy was always finding a way to lighten the mood. It was a good thing, overall, but part of Finn wondered if it was just the boy's coping mechanism, if it was how he dealt with the fact that he had nearly been killed. Shaking the thought away, Finn finished off his meal and looked around to the others. "Well, that all aside, it's been a long day, guys," he mentioned after a few moments, knowing that they would all probably be tired soon. "I think most of the tents are put up, so we should probably try to claim some shelter before all of the tents get taken." That, and, really, Finn was getting tired. It had been a longer day than any of them had anticipated and it had pretty much driven them all crazy, he was sure. Tons of things had happened throughout the day and it made things difficult.

"I'm assuming the twins will probably share a tent, right?" he asked, glancing over to them with curiosity. "And Monty and Jasper will probably share, once Jasper's all healed up, right?" His eyes went to the aforementioned pair and he arched an eyebrow.

---

"If Evie wants to share, that is," Aria said with a nod, because she didn't want her sister to think she had to share with her. She would prefer it, to make sure that Evie was safe, but she didn't want to force Evie into anything. Back on the Ark, they had always shared a room, up until Evie had gotten arrested, so she was sure that Evie might prefer to be alone. Shrugging the thought away, she moved to stand up. "Either way, I'm going to go ahead and go pick out a tent, because, Finn's right. Everybody's probably already trying to pick them out and I don't want to lose the only chance that I might have to have a comfortable place to sleep." Because she was sure a tent would probably be more comfortable than being out in the open - or being in such an uncomfortable place like the drop ship.

"I think we can make makeshift beds using the seats, too, just in case any of you want to be comfortable," she suggested, "There would be enough for all of us, too."

Monty nodded his head at Finn's question about sharing a tent with Jasper, "Yeah. We'll be sharing, we should actually hurry up and find a tent." He glanced over to Aria as he pushed himself up from the metal floor of the drop ship, he knew Jasper wouldn't be moving to sleep outside in a tent but if he found them a tent than at least they'd have one for whenever Jasper was ready to be moved. He walked out of the ship with the older twin as she wanted to find a tent as well, his eyes scanned the area until he found the pile of tents. Some had been taken but there was still a lot there, so Monty moved quickly with Aria so they could both find themselves a tent. Monty didn't want to linger around and have the group see them, it wasn't going to be a secret once he put the tent up but he didn't want a fight or anything to break out because he was taking a tent while Bellamy was busy. He looked around to make sure that no one was watching before he took another tent either for Clarke or Wells or Finn or maybe even for a medic tent.

"Let's get back and then I'll help you set your tent up," Monty told Aria quietly as they made their way back into the drop ship without anyone saying a word to them, he sighed in relief as he placed the two tents down on the floor as neither of them would be needed right now. He'd be staying in the drop ship with Jasper until he's healed enough to move.

---

Evie looked at her sister, "Of course we're sharing." She had gotten used to being in a room on her own but that also caused her to feel lonely more than half of them time, she liked sharing a room with Aria on the Ark and knew neither of them would want to be apart now that they had each other again. She watched as Aria left the drop ship with Monty so they could find a tent, she looked over at Finn as she kept some of the panther meat for her sister to eat which she'd make sure happened. "Where will you sleep?" She asked as even the chairs in the drop ship wouldn't be completely comfortable, but it would be better than laying on the hard metal floor. "We could try pulling the cushions off the seats, make somewhat of a bed." She suggested although she wasn't sure how well the cushions would come off, the seats had survived the landing after all.

She didn't want any of her new friends to be uncomfortable or not sleep well, "I'm sure the tents will be big enough, if anyone wanted to share." She offered without even asking Aria, but she was sure her sister wouldn't mind. At least until they worked out something better and had all the tents put up, she looked back over when Monty and Aria walked back with a tent in their hands. "Does anyone even know how to put a tent up?" She asked because she didn't have a clue.

Finn was mildly surprised to hear Evie's question and he lifted his shoulders in a slight shrug. "I don't know yet, I might sleep in a tent, too," he decided. That is, if he could manage to grab one before they all got taken. What was the possibility of managing that, though, when he was sure everybody was trying to get to the tents while they could? He tried not to think about it or worry about it and instead nodded to Evie's suggestion. "Let's just hope we don't destroy the cushions," he joked lightly, though he was rather serious about it. If they destroyed the cushions while trying to pull them out, then it would make it difficult to actually manage to make it even remotely comfortable to sleep with. He tried not to think about it too much, though.

Hearing Evie's later words, though, he couldn't help but be a bit curious. "Ah, maybe I could share with you two?" he questioned with an arched eyebrow, "If anything, at least I can make sure that Murphy doesn't bother either of you while you two sleep." Because he definitely wouldn't put it past the boy.

---

Aria smiled slightly at Monty's offer to help set their tent up and she nodded. "Yeah, that'd be great, thanks," she told him quietly, rather glad that they had managed to get the tents. At least, now, they could manage to sleep somewhere that would be semi-comfortable. She hoped, anyways. That aside, she looked to the others as they got into the drop ship and she blinked upon hearing Evie's words. "Ah, no, I don't think any of us actually know how to," she said honestly after a moment, though she shrugged, "How hard can it be, though?" Surely, it couldn't be too difficult, since they were just tents. And, even if they couldn't figure it out, they could just come up with some way to do it without following the general manner of getting it done.

Or, maybe she was just hoping beyond hope that they could manage to do this, because it might give them a bit more optimism at surviving this place. Maybe.
