(NOTE: in this au, YouTube and everything exists. However, all of the YouTubers in the story live near each other in order to make the plot make sense. They live in the same houses but the houses themselves are in an undefined area where everyone else is too. Thank you for your time.)

POV: Skeppy

Location: his irl house

I calmly pressed upload on a video just as a bang sounded from downstairs. I stood and ran to the window to look outside. My heart stopped at the sight and my gut filled with dread.

I ran to the tv and turned it on, switching it to the news. Sure enough, the report stated that a Zombie virus was spreading.

I ran my hands through my dark hair, my eyes wide. Forget about COVID-19, I thought. The end of the world has come...

I shook my head, trying to get rid of those thoughts. I switched off the tv and ran to barricade all the entrances to my house. Once that was complete, I ran back upstairs to grab my phone.

I rapidly hit the call button and waited for my friend to pick up. Once he did, I yelled, "Bad! What do we do? We're going to die!"

"Skeppy, calm down, everything will be fine if you stay calm," BadBoyHalo's voice responded.

"How am I supposed to stay calm?! We're in a literal zombie apocalypse!" I responded, panicking.

"Skeppy, we'll make it through. We need to meet up. Where should we meet up?" he asked, somehow remaining calm.

I forced myself to calm down, knowing he was right. "Zombies are at my door. We need someone else... a third person," I said, already having someone in mind.

"I'll add a6d to the call," Bad said. A few messages later, a6d joined.

"What do we do?" a6d asked in his famous French accent.

"We need to meet up," Bad said. "Do you guys have weapons to get out of your house?"

"Uhh..." I said as I began to look around. "I don't know what I have!" I responded, panicking again.

"Skeppy, stay calm. Do you remember that one time we were trying to open the battery compartment of a money gun but you didn't have a screwdriver?" Bad said, clearly thinking things through.

"Yeah, and I didn't even have batteries?" I said, calming down thanks to the memory.

Amusement was in his voice as he responded, "Yes. You remember the tools you got instead?"

"Ooh!" I exclaimed, my eyes lighting up. I picked up my phone and dashed downstairs. I grabbed the thing I needed, smiling slightly. "I've got a knife," I said with a grin.

"And now he's got a knife," a6d commented

"Okay, good. Just don't stab yourself, Skeppy," Bad replied.

"Why did you use a knife to try and open a battery compartment?" a6d questioned.

"It worked!" I responded with a shrug.

An audible sigh came from a6d but he didn't say anything as he searched for weapons. "Aha!" he said as he found something. "I found a weapon," he said.

"Cool, what did you find?" Bad asked.

"A saw," he replied.

"A saw?" Bad echoed in confusion.

"Yeah, for some reason I have a chainsaw..."

"You have a chainsaw?!" Bad exclaimed.

"A6d what have you been doing?!" I exclaimed.

"I don't know! I think this was going to be for a video or something but it never got done... That, or a roommate gave it to me," a6d responded.

"Why would-?!? Never mind... at least you have a weapon," Bad said, clearly trying to focus on the most important things.

"Oh also, if you guys need them, I have some guns too," a6d commented.

Bad fell into silent bewilderment until he finally said, "I'm just going to give up on asking. Skeppy, we're going to a6d's house."

"Cool. I'm going to grab a frying pan too," I commented. "I dunno if a knife would be enough."

"Good idea," Bad responded. "Get all of your supplies together and meet at a6d's house. See you guys soon."

"Bye," I said.

"Bye," a6d echoed.

We hung up and I began to get supplies together. I threw food and water into a backpack along with some random medical supplies I had.

This was going to be a long day.
