-AUTHOR's POV-

-2 WEEKS LATER-

2 weeks have passed now after saving everyone and bringing them back to their home in one peace, but also, it has been two weeks ever since the very incident that happen: (YN) being bitten, to think he would've turned into a walker and AJ and Clementine not knowing what to do about it...but of course there was one unexpected way from him to turn into one. AJ chopped off (YN)'s whole hand off as (YN) lost tons of blood and lost unconscious and was taken back to the school with the help of Violet and Louis and everyone else. With (YN)'s hand chopped off, he was unconscious through those weeks, and surprisingly...the infection suddenly went away somehow, but can't be sure yet as he hasn't woken up.

One day, at the fishing area, Clem and AJ were both fishing for food later on, and also to have Rosie alongside with them as she helps them catch fishes too and putting them in the bucket.

Rosie: *Bark*

Clementine: Good girl Rosie.

AJ: She sure is a good girl.

Clementine: Yea, I really doubt of her in the beginning, looks like she isn't all bad. Just needed her to gain some trust on me. Anyways, guess that's all we can get. Here, I'll put the spears away.

AJ: Okay.

Clementine takes the spears with her and to head over to the shed Janice to put them away. Once she came out, she spots something on the river...it's her hat.

AJ: Clem, your hat.

Clementine: Help me catch it.

Clem jogs to the river to reach her hat, but wasn't far enough to grab it, her hat floats under the little bridge as AJ waits for it to come out, and yet he didn't reach enough to grab it...

AJ: Dang it.

But luckily enough, Rosie helps too as she jumps on the river and to retrieve Clem's hat.

AJ: Yes!

Clementine: Good girl Rosie.

Rosie: *Barks*

Clementine: Never imagine I get it back, thought I lost it for good.

AJ: But It came back to you.

Clementine: Heh, it sure did.

Ruby: Hey Y'all.

Ruby appeared and to pet Rosie...

Ruby: Hey there girl.

Clementine: Hey Ruby.

AJ: Hey.

Ruby: Just came to check on y'all since it's getting pretty late. Dinners soon too.

Clementine: Nice, we're all done here anyways.

AJ: Yup, catches lots of fish.

Ruby: That's great, and I see you got your hat Clem.

Clementine: Yup, it found me.

Ruby: That's good.

AJ: ...Ruby.

Ruby: Yes hon?

AJ: ....Hows (YN)?

Clementine: ...is he awake??

Ruby: ....*sighs* Wish I could've told you the good news, but no, not yet. Still sleeping. You know...When you told AJ chopped off his hand, we're surprised the infection just suddenly went away when we brought him back...not usually how it works, but still, not sure if he's still infected, can't tell much.

Clementine: ...I just hope it doesn't turn out wrong when he wakes up.

Ruby: We all hope so too Clem. Anyways, I'm gonna go check on Aasim and the others with the rabbit traps.

Clementine: Sure, we'll follow. Let's go AJ.

AJ: Okay. Come on Rosie.

Rosie: *Barks*

Clem and AJ and Rosie follow Ruby back to the school as they take the bucket of fishes with them.

Once they were near the school, AJ and Clem cross the bridge and to spot their friends. Ruby and Aasim now both together, walking together, Omar putting up warning signs for any people that want to cause trouble towards them, and Willy and Mitch coming back from catching rabbits as well and they all head back to the school. Once they entered, everyone were settling in as AJ took the bucket of Fish to Omar to cook.

AJ: So, what do we do?

Clementine: Well, we can help Vi and the others with some stuff before dinner, or...

(YN): How was fishing?

The two were surprise to hear that voice, they turn and get their faces were filled with surprise and joy to see (YN), who finally has woken up, and yet to only have his right hand only and his left one chopped and bandaged up, and was happy to see them both. Everyone else were relief to see him awake at last....AJ rushes over to give him a big hug...

(YN): Woah, easy there bud.

AJ: You're awake! And didn't turn.

(YN): Heh, guess I got lucky.

(YN) notice Clem approach, as she was so relief with joy to see (YN) once again okay and walking. She gives him a kiss and hugs him...

Clementine: I'm so glad you're finally awake.

(YN): Yea, didn't wanted to keep you two worried all the time.

AJ: So...how does it feel? Not having a hand?

(YN): Honestly...feels weird, more weird that I don't have fingers to move at all, nor to grab onto something, but I'll get use to it sooner or later. Hopefully sooner I get a prosthetic hand.

AJ: Pros...thetic...hand.??

(YN): It's like a robot hand.

AJ: *gaps* Really?!

(YN): Yup, but I can also have a hand that can turn into a gun, or a knife, or even a flamethrower.

AJ: Wow! That's so cool!

Clementine: Keep dreaming (YN).

(YN): Heh, just saying...Anyways, I wanna show you something AJ.

AJ: Really??

(YN): Yup, follow me.

(YN) leads AJ and Clem around the house, as they gave a turn, AJ was surprise to see a tire tied in a rope to a tree, and to made it like a swing.

AJ: Woah! For..me??

(YN): Yup.

Clementine: You built it yourself??

(YN): A while ago, Willy helped me out. So AJ, you like it?

AJ: It looks fun. Can I..get on??

(YN): Sure, just hold on tight on the tire.

AJ gets on the wheel as (YN) started to give AJ pushes, swinging him as AJ began to laugh and enjoy being swing. (YN) and Clem were happy to see AJ having some fun.

AJ: Haha! This is fun! I love it!

(YN): Glad you're enjoying it buddy.

Clementine: Good to see you smile kiddo.

Omar: Foods ready everyone! Come and get it.

(YN) stopped swinging AJ as he gets off from the tire...

AJ: You're the best (YN), you too Clem.

AJ goes hugging Clem and (YN) as the two were proud to see AJ enjoying his day and smiling through it too.

Clementine: Come on, let's go eat.

(YN): Don't want our food to get cold now.

AJ: Okay!

The three head over to the benches to go eat with everyone else. AJ sits next to Willy and Tenn as Clem and (YN) sat together with Louis and Violet, and everyone else started digging in, even Rosie too. Ruby and Aasim were enjoying their meals together, (YN) and Mitch getting along more together, AJ and Tenn talking to each other, Violet and Clem too and Louis cracking jokes as everyone laughed. And to top off the fun, Willy tosses a piece of food to Omar's face, as Omar didn't expected at first, but to laugh it off, and so does everyone else, and they all enjoy their day as one big family all together, ending the problems and to live on their lives in peace.

As Omar puts food on each bowl for everyone, AJ and Tenn passed them their food as they go and sit at the bench to enjoy their meals. Clementine then notice (YN) wasn't around...

Clementine: Hey, where's (YN)?

AJ: Oh, he's inside in our dorm.

Clementine: Really? He's gonna miss out on the food.

Clementine: Oh. Well...give me his bowl then, I'll take to him, and have a talk with him.

AJ: Can I come? I can help too.

Clementine: O-Oh, that's nice bud, but...I want to have this talk as a one on one, you know? Private, so I can figure out what's wrong with him.

AJ: Oh, okay.

Tenn: AJ, wanna draw with me? We can use those new coloring pencils we found Vi found in the storage room.

Tenn: Sure, come on.

As AJ goes with Tenn with the others to draw and everyone else enjoying their meals, Clem heads inside the building and to go over to her dorm where (YN) is and have this "private" talk with him, but to also figure out what has been bothering him that she's heard from AJ and Ruby.

Clementine: Wonder what's wrong now.
