Time Skip
Emma's POV
        Blech! Ryan is disgusting. Well, he always has been disgusting. I would say it has been a month since this started, and we have not had much trouble with zombies or raiders. I sighed and looked at Rachel and Ava. They were giggling at something. I threw Ava a questioning glance and she pointed at Ryan. I looked at him and saw the cutest thing ever. Fuzzball was curled up on Ryan's lap, sleeping softly.
       "Hey Ryan!," Ava whisper shouted. "You still think he's a weird 'cat thing'?"  Ryan looked away from us, a blush clearly on his face. Tch, Ryan and his pride it is going to get him killed one day. I stood up from my sitting position and stretched my legs. We had wasted some time goofing around, but it was worth it.

     "Ok, c'mon guys we have to keep moving, and Ryan - why don't you carry Fuzzball.", I said, giggling at the end. We picked up our stuff, and Ryan gently scooped up Fuzzball and carried him bridal style.

-time skip brought to you by a pizza angel-

      It was becoming dark, so we set up camp. I was too tired to take watch, so Rachel took the first watch. Laying down I fell into a restless sleep. In the middle of the night I was shaken awake by a worried looking Ava. I yawned, it was still dark out. I looked past her and saw Ryan shooting his gun, and my eyes widened.

      "Emma get up! We have to go!" Ava said, her voice clearly panicked. I quickly got up,  grabbed my stuff and was ready to go. I glanced around. The zombies were coming from the front, so we could at least escape. I heard another gun fire. We were making too much noise!

    "Ryan, stop firing your gun! We are making too much noise!" I said as I sprinted up to him. He gave me a confused look before lowering his gun.
       "The noise will attract more of them, and we do not need more zombies chasing us," I said as I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the back. I ushered them to run.
    "But what abowt you?" Fuzzball asked concerned. I gave him a small smile before speaking.
      "Don't worry about me. I saw this in a movie." I said as I tore a tree branch off a nearby tree. I pushed them toward the forest that was conveniently growing next to us. Rachel, understanding the message, grabbed Fuzzball and started running through the forest with Ava and Ryan close behind.
     "Don't stop until you exit the forest!" I yelled after them while lighting the tree branch on fire. I took a deep breath before tossing the tree beach on a patch of fallen leaves and dead grass. It quickly lit up and spread - too quickly. Gasping, I backed up from the heat. The fire was making a 'wall' to prevent the zombies from coming closer. Hearing a groan, I looked towards the fire wall and grinned.

        They couldn't get through. Turning around I ran in the direction that the rest of my group headed in. Making it out of the forest, I spotted my friends. I jogged over to them, but something was wrong with Ava. She was hunched over and wheezing loudly. Rachel was rubbing her back, while Ryan was standing there looking awkward and Fuzzball was tearing up.

        "A..........sth........ma," Ava said, still wheezing. Rachel quickly took the bag off Ava's back and made her sit down. I quickly grabbed the bag and rummaged through it looking for her inhaler. Once I found it, I gave it to Rachel, who gave it to Ava. After about fifteen minutes, Ava calmed down and let out a big sigh of relief.

      "Ok, I'm good now." She said. Fuzzball ran up to her and gave her a life squeezing hug. I giggled at the look on her face, but she shot me a death glare making me laugh harder. She stood up before pouncing on me.
  "Oh no, I am being attacked by a wild Ava, ahhhhhhh someone help meh," I said while giggling. She gave me an evil smile. Then she started tickling my sides, causing me to laugh while trying to get her to stop.

   "Ahahahahah......ok.hahaha...I.haha...suuuuuuurender...haha," I said unable to control my laughing. Ava finally stopped, and I was able to breath again. Ahhhh...AIR! It felt good to let loose and have some fun. Then, all you could hear was tiny giggles coming from Fuzzball. I glanced at him having an evil idea. Before  Ava could react, I jumped up and grabbed Fuzzball. He let out a squeal of surprise. Sitting down on the ground, I played with his ears, which made him purr! Realizing the noise he just made, Fuzzball jumped out of my lap and ran to Rachel. I felt so 'betrayed'. I gave him a fake pouty face and crossed my arms. Then we all burst out laughing. After a long time of goofing off and good laughs, we continued our journey.

-Another time skip brought to you by pinkie pie-

     Ryan and I took up the front, but he would not stop humming. He started another song and I groaned. When was this going to end?!? Getting a brilliant idea, I slipped my phone out of my pocket. I checked the power, it was at 32%. I could deal with that. Opening YouTube, I clicked on my playlist. The first song that played was New World by SkyDoesMinecraft. I grinned and turned it up all the way. I sung along with the first verse.

First I opened my eyes
Then I felt such a strange breeze
I had traveled to a world made of blocks
Totally unbeknownst to me

       Rachel started to sing along, both of us are singing with goofy looks on our face.

When you play Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh o

Ryan started singing along, and surprisingly he didn't sound half bad. We glanced at Ava, who looked like she was having an internal conflict.

There were animals all across the land
Villagers working hard hand in hand
There were roses, mountains, and a big blue sea
Even trees as far as the eye could see

Ava with a big grin started to sing, it was like a goofy angel had started to sing among us.

How'd this happen?
Why am I here?
What's my purpose in this place?
Who's that coming?
What am I hearing?
As the night approaches, I should go and hide
There's all sorts of creatures, run with all my might

Fuzzball had no clue what was going on, but he decided to sing the chorus.

When you play Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

This felt great. I think that today has been great, even with the attack we had this morning.

When you play Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Endermen and Zombies, creepers who go hide
Either live or die, it's up for me to decide

When you play Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Mine, Mine, Minecraft
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh o-

We all stopped singing when a noise was heard in the nearby brush. I quickly grabbed my phone and shut off the music, before slipping it into my pocket. We all grabbed our weapons while Fuzzball hid behind Ava.

  "Who is there? Show yourself!" Ryan demanded. There was some whispers, before three figures stepped out from the brush. Six out of the eight people gasped.

  "Gracie, Haley, Abby! Oh my gosh, I haven't seen ya'll in forever," Ava exclaimed, glee smothered her face. We all gave them a group hug, except Ryan and Fuzzball. We let them travel with us, since we were best friends. So far the apocalypse has not been that bad. But every good thing must come to an end, right? We once again started to travel, unaware of the danger that stalked us in the shadows.

     "Who arwe they?" Fuzzball asked Ava and I.
     "They are our friends from a long time ago. We've missed them so much," Ava said with a giant grin. "and we didn't know they would be here." Ava said.
     "Oh, ok." Fuzzball said smiling.

      "So, how have you three been?" I asked.
      "Eh, could be better." Gracie started. "We were at subway when we were first attacked, and as far as I know, we are the only ones who escaped."
     "That's terrible!" Rachel said.
      "It is," I agreed. "I'm just glad we met up with y'all again."
      "So where we headed?" Haley asked.
      "Southeast, until we reach the Gulf of Mexico. Then we sail." I said, smiling.

???'s POV
      Foolish group, they attract to much attention. But when you think about it, their singing wasn't that bad. They seem pretty easy-- a good group to raid. Hmmmmm.......they seem very familiar. I think that we should take them to our base. Turning away from the little group and grinned at the rest of the team.
        "They seem like an easy group to raid, but there is something familiar about them, so we are only going to capture them." I said while smirking. "For now..." I mumbled. "Ok so here is the plan.........."
