-AUTHOR's POV-

Before AJ goes and apologize to Ruby and Marlon, he Clem and (YN) go around and talk with the others to get to know them. First, they walk over to Willy, who he happens to sit with Mitch...

(YN): Hey.

Mitch: Oh hey, y'all are the new ones. Names Mitch, this here's Willy.

Willy: Sup.

Clementine: Hello, nice to meet you both. I'm Clementine.

(YN): Names (YN).

AJ: Im AJ.

(YN): I see you're carving a weapon?

Mitch: Oh yea, trying to make it as sharp as I can.

AJ: Looks cool, and you're good with that.

Mitch: Heh, you like that little dude? Wanna see something cool?

Mitch began swinging his blade around like a toy...

AJ: Cool.

Mitch: Yup, with this baby, you can fuck up those monsters bad.

AJ: Swear.

Mitch: U-Uh..sorry?

Willy: Haha.

(YN): It's fine, you're good.

Clementine: Nice meeting you both.

They then walk over and to go meet up Aasim, who happens to be sitting on a chair, writing a book...

Clementine: Hello.

Aasim: Oh, hey. It's you three. Clementine, (Yn), right?

Clementine: Yea, Assim, right?

Aasim: Yup.

AJ: What you writing?

Aasim: What happen today.

(YN): Like a diary?

Aasim: Nah, more like a history book. "Those who do not learn from the past." And all that.

AJ: "The new girl went and get helped..."

They notice AJ reading Aasim's journal...

Aasim: Hey, give it back, not yours to read it.

AJ: But it was sitting there.

Clementine: AJ, give it back.

(YN): Reading other people's diary/journal isn't cool, it's their privacy.

AJ: Oh, okay.

He hands Aasim back his book...

Aasim: Thanks. This is the only thing in place I get any real privacy around here. So I gotta finish this before dinner. So, not to be rude...

(YN): We get it. Talk to you later.

Assim: Thanks.

They walk away and to head over with Louis, with a friend who happens to be cooking the food.

Louis: Mmm, yes, little bit of rose berry, little bit of grass and pasta meat, now if you can't find fresh pasta in the fresh of the woods, squirrels or skunks will be a pitch, but nothing beats a possum. We'll be right back for More Stew with Lou.

Omar: Can you please stop?

Louise: I can't, really, I really can't.

Clementine: Hey.

Louis: Clem, (YN), AJ, this is Omar-oh, excuse me, Chef Omar.

Omar: Hello, and no, it's not ready yet.

(YN): Heh, don't worry, just wanted to get to know y'all.

Omar: Well, at least you three have a thing called patience.

Louis: Omar here is a perfectionist, the slightest flavor out of place and he's grumpy for a week.

Omar: You can eat or eat right, all it cost you is little patience.

Louis: I'll let you guys know when it's done.

With waiting for the food to be ready, Clem (YN) and AJ head over to Ruby, who she be standing near a fire pit.

AJ: There's that girl I bit.

Clementine: Yea, wanna talk to her?

AJ: You mean, say sorry?

(YN): Thats right. You just gotta tell her why you did it.

AJ: Cause...of my thing?

Clementine: Yes, don't worry, it's nothing to be embarrassed.

AJ grew a bit confident talking with Clem and (YN)...so he takes a deep breathe..and goes to apologize Ruby.

Ruby: Yes?

AJ: ...I'm sorry about biting your finger. Sometimes when I get scared I do it, but I don't mean it too. I just get scared. So, I'm sorry again, and I hope your finger heals okay.

Ruby: ..Aw sug it's alright. We can get a little crazy when we get scared too. But, thank you for your honesty and your apology.

AJ: Thank you.

AJ turns to Clem and (YN) and throws a thumbs up and does they as well. AJ heads with them as they walk over to Violet and Tenn, and notices them both standing on two piles of dirts, and crosses on each other them...

Clementine: Hey guys. What's this?

Violet: Our graveyard.

(YN): You guys do that?

Violet: Kinda...sometimes.

(YN): Oh.

Clementine: So, who?

Violet: Nobody, really, this is where we bury Ten's twin sister's belongings here. Minnie and Sophie. Lost..about a year ago.

They see Tenn placing flowers on the graves and AJ curious about it...

Violet: Paying respects.

AJ: Oh...should we do that too? Maybe? Never seen anyone do that.

Clementine: Sure, sounds a good idea.

(YN): Also, no matter if we don't know them, we still have to pay respects, cause they were good people.

AJ: Oh, okay.

They then joine Tenn, as AJ grabs a flower that Vi gave him and places on on one of the graves...

Tenn: Thank you.

AJ: You're welcome.

They then left to give them privacy...

AJ: Clem, (YN)...I think I'm ready to apologize to Marlon.

(YN): Okay bud.

They head over to the building and spot Marlon sitting with Brody and Rosie...

Clementine: Hey guys.

Marlon: Hey.

Brody: Hello.

AJ: Hi.

(YN): Hey, Hey Rosie.

Rosie stood up and walk up to (YN) and started to feel excited to be with him...

Marlon: Heh, guess Rosie here is starting to like you already.

(YN): Guess so, heh.

Brody: Clementine and (YN) right? Nice to meet you both, I'm Brody. And your kid, he's a sweet little fella. Figured I didn't know there's some sweetness like him out there.

Clementine: He's a good kid.

(YN): Yea, and lucky to have him, he's naturally good.

Brody: That's good to hear.

Marlon: So, what's up?

AJ steps up...

AJ: ..I'm really sorry for hitting you, I didn't mean it. So, can we please stay here, and not get kicked out and get killed by monsters?

Marlon: Heh, don't sweat it buddy. You can make it to me by showing me that technique. You, are a regular heavyweight.

AJ: Cool, and, thanks.

Marlon: Anytime.

Louis: Yo Clem! (YN)! AJ, foods ready.

Marlon: Finally, come on, y'all earn supper after all.

And so, they head over to the benches and to sat down, Clem, (YN), AJ, Louis, and Marlon on one, the other Brody, Ruby, Violet, Tenn, Aasim, Mitch Willy and Omar.
.
.
As they were all enjoying their supper, AJ was eating his too fast, and already finish his.

AJ: Clem? (YN)?

Clementine: Aw, I'm sorry AJ, I'm sure they shared as much as they could.

(YN): Here bud.

(YN) gives AJ his plate..

AJ: You sure? What about you?

(YN): Guess I got full already, foods good.

AJ: Cool, thanks.

Clementine: That's sweet of you.

(YN): I know.

AJ: All done.

(YN): What the-sheesh, forgot how much of a eater you are.

AJ: Heh, I know.

Clementine: He's not the only one. I'm done with mines too.

AJ: So, now what?

Louis: I'll tell you what. Time for something...very important.

Louis pulls out a deck of cards...

Brody: Ugh, goodnight.

Brody and some of the others left to go get sleep...leaving only Marlon, Violet, Marlon, Louis, Clem, (YN), Tenn and AJ. Violet comes and joins with them to play the game

Marlon: What's the game tonight Lou?

Louis: War. Oldest game around. A game played by man and beast alike. The only game there is.

Clementine: Sounds fun.

(YN): How do we play this "War" game?

Violet: Easy, we all get a stack of cards, flip it over, highest one wins.

Louis: And the winner gets to ask Clem and (YN) questions.

Clem/(YN): ...

Louis: What? I wanna get to know y'all. All of us.

Clementine: And if we win?

Louis: Then you get to ask one, only fair.

Clementine: Wait, what about AJ?

(YN): Don't worry, AJ has found a friend already.

They look and see AJ sit with Tenn and talking with him...

(YN): Come on, we can take our eyes off him for a one card game.

Clementine: Yea, we could use a break. But, it's the first time we see him making a friend that's someone of his own age. Usually we see him act like an adult more than a kid.

(YN): Yea, he does. but hey, it's nice to see him be a little boy again.

Clementine: Heh, yeah.

Marlon: Alright, Louis?

Louis: With pleasure.

Once Louis pulls a card out, everyone pulls one and reveals them, Violet got a King...

Violet: Way to go me. So, Clem, (YN)...about AJ. Where are his parents? Don't to be mean or anything, but you three don't look related. So, what happen?

Clementine: ...They're dead, they were nice people..for the most part.

Louis: Make sense, he's a nice kid.

(YN): Yea, got his dad's face, and heart. But, attitude from his mom. Heh, but like Clem said, they were good people.

After that, they again flip their cards...Clem got the highest card number...

Clementine: Hey, I win.

Louis: You did. So, what you wanna know?

Clementine: So, have you ever met anyone famous out there?

Violet: Nope.

Louis: Too bad. You'd figure a movie star or something would show up.

Violet: They have like millions of dollars. They're probably hiding under a huge bunker with butlers, and water beds and rich stuff they have.

Louis: Yea maybe.

Clementine: (YN) and I met a guy who use to be a baseball player, for money.

Louis: That's cool. I use to love baseball. Was he good at it?

(YN): Yeah, he's good with the bat, but sadly, doesn't hit as hard as I do, also, good friend too.

After, they again flip another card, Louis gets the higher one...

Louis: Boo-ya! .....Um...

Violet: Come on, spit it out.

Louis: So, like Violet said, I know y'all aren't related and all, but...are you two...together?

Violet: Oh, my god.

Louis: What? It happened, perfectly valid question.

Clementine: It's okay, and...yea, we're together.

(YN): Yup, well, we knew each other since kids, before this bell hole happen. And then, as we grew matured, and...here we are.

The two smiled each other...After that, they again flip another card, Marlon gets the high number...

Marlon: Ha, I win. Okay, so, Clem, (YN)...if you guys knew each other since kids, you two couldn't have been together this entire time since this happen. Who took cared of y'all? Family? Anyone?

Both Clem and (YN) stood dead quiet after hearing that from Marlon...and all they can think of the person who took care of them through this, was a legend, a legend we shall not forget, and never to be forgotten, a legend who took care of (Yn) and Clem since the day he met them both at Clem's home...

Clementine: We did had...someone who took cared of us. He was the first person that taught us how to survive as well...

(YN): ...His name was Lee.

Marlon: What he teach you both?

Clementine: Lots of stuff.

Marlon: Most important thing?

Clementine: ....How to say goodbye.

(YN): And...keep moving forward.

......after that, they kept playing as they flip another card, (Yn) got the highest number...

(YN): I win. Okay...what's the grossest thing you have eaten?

Violet: Easy, a horse's eyeball.

Marlon: Slugs.

Marlon: Cantaloupe.

Violet: Come on.

Louis: What? I fucking HATE cantaloupe. What about you two?

Clementine: Well, let's say we almost ate something gross.

(YN): But, more gross, and disturbing...we almost ate someone's actual skin meat. the people we met and we thought were nothing but friendly dairy farmers, but at the end...their nothing but cannibals.

Marlon: My god.

Violet: That's sick.

Louis: Shit.

After that, they again flip another card, Violet got a queen.

Violet: Victory Violet. And here's a question I like to tell for everyone...now, out of the five of us: who you'd think we die first?

Louis: That..is fucked up.

Violet: Heh, I know.

Clementine: Anyone else, but us.

Violet: Huh, so sure.

Clementine: Made it this far.

Violet: So have we.

(YN): Oh yeah? Try survive out there by taking long walks looking for food, looking for shelter, killing tons of walkers, find any medicine/aid kit, and then....finding your dad, who left you, and left mom, and to then find him....and to be nothing but a violent cold heart piece of shit person.

Marlon: What???

(YN): Nothing. Forget what I said the last part.

Clementine.: (YN)...-

(YN): I'm fine, Clem, really. Let's..keep playing.

They forget what (YN) said and kept playing...this time, Louis again gets the high card number.

Louis: I am the greatest card gamer here.

Violet: Just ask your damn question.

Louis: Okay Okay...so, Clem,(YN), have you both...never mind.

Clementine: What? Ask.

Louis: It's not a good question-

(YN): Ask.

Louis: Fine...have you two ever killed someone's you loved?

Clem/(YN): ....

Marlon: Louis, dude.

Louis: What? They wanted me to ask...so, um...

Clementine: Yea...Lee.

Marlon: That took cared of y'all??

Clementine: Yeah, the same day we found out our parents were turn into walkers...

(YN): and...he...he was bitten that day too...and we...didn't wanted him to become like them so...yeah, rest is history.

Marlon/Violet: ....

Louis: That...sounds like a rough day.

Clementine: ...

Clementine looks at (YN), and Can in his eyes mentioning Lee's death hit him and see Ming his both hands clenched...he stood up...

(YN): Good game.

And He walks off...Clementine goes after him...

Violet: ...

Louis: What? You wanted me to ask her too.

.
.
.
Back with Clem and (YN)...

Clementine: (YN).

(YN): I'm sorry, Clem. It's just......

Clementine: I know how you feel, I do too.

(YN): ...I just wish, things turn out differently. You know? Like...Lee didn't bit, Katjaa and Duck would've been still be with...Kenny...and Carley too...and there Ben of course.

Clementine: ...If only I'd listen to Lee, he'd would never got bitten.

(YN) looks at Clem holding her arms, as he can tell Clem was still blaming her for Lee being bitten and his death. He walks up to her and comforts her.

(YN): Clem, I said it once, and I'll keep saying this...it wasn't your fault, none of it. Lee made that choice to save you, even me. Also, we were kids, and were easy to be manipulate.

Clementine: Heh, yea, I guess...just trying to not think about it much then...I'm glad to have you.

The two smile at each other and giving each other a kiss towards their lips...then suddenly...

AJ: Ew.

(YN): Oh hey there kiddo.

Clementine: AJ, what is it?

AJ: Im sleepy.

(YN): Heh, all of us are. Come on.

They then walk over to the building as Marlon arrives with them...

Marlon: Long day, huh?

Clementine: Yup, real long.

Marlon: Hey, I hope Louis didn't mean no harm on you two. He may be a big dumbass, buts he also my best friend, like a brother to me. Anyways, get some sleep. Tomorrow morning I need you two to see me, so we can talk about getting food.

AJ: We can stay?

Marlon: We can talk about it.

AJ smiles with excitement as he Clem and (YN) head over to their own room to get sleep.
.
.
.
As they arrive to their room, they settled in and make themselves comfortable. AJ then finds a box of color pencils and started to draw, like Tenn. suddenly, Violet shows up on the room and didn't expected them in there...

Violet: O-Oh shit. Sorry, didn't knew Marlon set you three with this room. Just came to get something...

And this something Violet came to look for is what AJ has already, the color pencils...

Violet: Oh, that.

(YN): The color pencils?

Violet: Yea, they belonged to Sophie, Tenn's sister. He was asking for more art supplies. So, I came to...

Clementine: Oh, sorry. We didn't knew.

Violet: No, it's fine really, it's just been a long time since it was been sitting there. Don't worry, AJ can use them, if he wants to.

AJ: ...I'll give it back to Tenn, I promise.

Violet: Heh, thanks....huh, I see y'all are settling in.

Clementine: Yea, is that okay??

Violet: Sure...it's just, I always liked this room. Sophie had, like, paintings and shit tons of drawings on the walls, lots of color. And Minerva...she was really musical. Not like Louis, she had actual talent. She had the most amazing voice, real bluesy. Marlon would always joke about scavenging a guíate and the two of them would tour the country...that was a long time. After that...Tenn and Brody took down the drawings, and was the end of it....I shouldn't have brought it up...guess it was my memory.

Clementine: Sounded like they were great friends.

Violet: Yeah, Sophie was a good friend. And Minnie...well, we were close, me and her.

(YN): Oooh, so you're a le-

Clem slaps (YN) behind the head...

(YN): Ow. <Que?>

Violet: Hehe, it's fine, I know what you were gonna say...and yes, she and I were thing, like you both.

Clementine: Oh. But...What exactly happen to them??

(YN): Yea.

Violet: ....They went scavenging with Marlon and Brody out, passing the safe zone. Didn't make it back. It happens...honestly...I miss having someone to talk around with, well besides Ruby, it's always lots of dudes, and gets a little too bro-town for my liking. And I'm not exactly like...a people person, you know? Like, I have a habit of...being too harsh.

Clementine: Heh, we do too. But, you came okay.

(YN): Yea, you seem cool.

Violet: Oh, thanks, both.

AJ: Done.

AJ finished drawing his picture and shows it to Clem and (YN)...

Clementine: Not bad kiddo.

(YN): Yea, you light be the next Leonardo Davinci.

AJ: Leonardo..Who??

(YN): I'll tell you who some time.

Clementine: Hehe.

Violet: Heh. Well, I should get going, getting late as well. See ya.

Clementine: See ya.

(YN): Later.

Vi leaves the room...

AJ: Here.

AJ hands Clementine and (YN) his drawing...

Clementine: For us?

AJ: Yea, to make out new home look nice.

(YN): Good idea AJ. Here, how about...here.

(YN) hangs the drawing on the wall...

(YN): Perfect.

The suddenly, they heard AJ's footsteps and to notice him gone...they look around and notice him under the bed...

(YN): Uhhh, AJ?

Clementine: What are you doing down there?

AJ: I'm gonna sleep down here.

(YN): Wha?? No you're not.

AJ: It's safer under here, and plus, no one can get me.

Clementine: It's safe out here too. Besides, this place is huge, and have super hard brick walls to keep us safe.

AJ: Oh...but, what if someone comes in? Like, breaks in??

(YN): Relax buddy, the doors sturdy. Trust me, it was sos sturdy I had to kick it open with my strength.

AJ: ...I don't know....if I stay here, no one can find me. There, I can keep an eye on y'all when you both sleep and Guard y'all.

(YN): Okay okay, what's gotten into you kid??

Clementine: Yea, what's wrong AJ?

AJ: ...It's nothing, really...I'll be okay, really. I promise. I'll be okay here.

(YN): For the last time buddy no. Look, just give the bed a chance yeah?

Clementine: It's comfortable and soft, and you'll sleep really good too.

AJ: ..I'll try.

AJ crawls out under...and to then jumó on the bed and lays down...

AJ: Oh wow! It is soft, like, really soft.

Clementine: Told ya.

AJ: So...*yawns* soooft...mmmm.

With AJ already getting shut eyes for sleep, both Clem and (YN) walk over to their bed and to lay down together and cuddle...then...
