Clem, You, Louis, AJ, Marlon, Willy, and some new girl with blond hair gather at the gate. The blonde chick fiddles with a lock on the small doors gate.

Marlon: "Rosie! Where the hell is she?" He looks over to Louis, who is standing next to Clem, You and AJ. "You give him his weapon back?"

Clem, and you draw your knives.

Marlon: "Good. We're gonna need you to put it to use. We've got a hunting party out there trying to get back inside. Need our help to clear the way. Seems to be a few more than usual these last couple days."

Violet: "It's almost like something drew their attention. Something like...I don't know...an explosion. Or a car crash." She looks back at the three of you with her arms crossed.

Marlon: "Vi..."

Violet: "What? Just saying. There's gotta be some explanation."

Y/N: "Are you insinuating something?"

Violet: "Y'know, just speculating."

Clem says nothing.

Louis: Ahem. "Hello, Clementine, and Y/N. I'm Violet. Nice to meet you."

Violet: "What he said."

Willy: "Alright, boys and girls." He leans over the watch towers rail and points into the forest. "They're starting to fill in!"

Violet: "Come on."

Marlon: "Be careful out there." He says, to you and Clem.

Marlon and Violet enter the forest.

Louis: "Don't mind Violet. She, uh...grows on you. I promise." Louis steps in front of the gate.

Louis brandishes a chair leg filled with nails and puts it on his shoulder.

Louis: "Oh, this? It's a chair leg. I call it "Chairles"."

Louis joins the others. Clementine and you step outside the gate, your last and you close it behind you. AJ runs up to it, wrapping his hands around the bars.

AJ: "Guys? Lemme help!"

Y/N: "I need you to watch our backs. Call out from inside if you see anything. Cool?" You and Clem crouch in front of the gate.

AJ: "Okay..."

Clementine: "See you on the other side."

Clem draws her weapon and enters the forest. The others have already started killing walkers.

AJ: "Clem, Y/N! Monster!" Two walkers approach in front of you. "Clem, let me use your knife for a sec." She looks over at you confused.

Clementine: "What why?"

Y/N: "Just give me it.. I won't do anything to it. Just stand back for a minute." The two walkers approach quicker, making a beeline towards you. Clem hands you the knife, using your left hand. You grab it, one is a female with a dirty brown tank top. Dark brown hair hangs over a pale scalp. The same is for the man, he has short brown hair, the middle of his head is bald. The both of them are larger then you, so you kick both of their knees, and stab both of their heads in at the same time with both of the knifes. After your finished you hand her the knife back and she looks at you with a surprised expression. You probably could've done it with one but you wanted to show off.

The both of you kill some more walkers.

Louis: "Whoa! Nice one. Could use a little more finesse, though. Watch and learn. Hey! Over here! Follow me!"

A nearby walker approaches Louis. He cuts a rope, and a rock falls on the walker, crushing it.

Louis: "And that's how you school a walker. There's a whole bunch of traps laying around this area for these asshats. They're all marked, so keep a lookout!"

Clementine, and you kill walkers with your knifes and with the traps. In the distance, a small group of people runs with torches.

Marlon: "Looks like they made it back in one piece. C'mon, we'll meet 'em halfway."

The group kills more walkers.

Marlon: "Yo! Over here!"

The group runs across a nearby bridge and meets up with Aasim, Brody, and Mitch, who have captured some rabbits.

Violet: "Nice timing. We're not gonna be able to hold them off much longer."

Brody: "No kidding. Where'd all these walkers come from?"

Marlon: "We can talk when we're back inside the gates. Keep an eye out for stragglers."

Violet: "You know, you're not half bad. Considering the circumstances and all..." She says, gesturing to you both. Clem and you nod, you don't like the attitude she's been giving off.

Violet: "Let's finish these guys off. We don't need them attracting more walkers back to the school."

Clem, You, Vi, and Aasim kill a few more walkers. Aasim picks up the arrows on the ground.

Aasim: "Piece of shit. I hate this cleanup bullshit."

A walker grabs Aasim.

Aasim: "What the fu--? AHH!"

You stab the walker, and it backhands you, then grabs you. A dog tackles the walker and crushes its head in her jaws.

Marlon: "Good girl!" (pets Rosie) "Shh, shh. Hey, hey, it's alright, girl. It's alright. Hey, I see you and Rosie are making friends."

Clementine: "Had a bad experience with a dog once."

Marlon: "Well, Rosie here can help you get over it. She's as cuddly as they come. Except when she's mauling walkers, that is."

Aasim: "That walker came out of nowhere."

Marlon: "Alright, alright, fun's over. Let's get inside--I'm fuckin' starving."

Clementine: "You're not the only one."

Y/N: "You said it."

The group walks back through the forest.

Marlon: "How'd it go out there?"

Aasim: "How do you think it went?"

Brody: "Be nice, Aasim."

Aasim: "The safe zone's nearly dry--I could barely find enough for tonight. We're gonna have to scout out further if we want food for the winter."

Marlon: "We'll talk about it later." Marlon walks past the four of you who were already close together.

Aasim: "Bullshit, we should talk about this right now--"

Marlon walks past Aasim, bumping him with his shoulder.

Marlon: "I said later, damn it."

Louis: "Still standing, I see. I'd call that a B-plus performance there, Vi. You've done better." The four of you walk side to side with each other on a path toward Ericson's boarding school.

Violet: "Fuck off."

Violet gives Louis the middle finger, and he clutches his heart in mock offense.

Louis: "B-minus, then. Now, Clem here? That was a solid A. A-plus even. Don't be jealous, Vi. Be better. You too Y/N, C-Plus you kinda sucked ass."

Y/N: "Yeah yeah, shithead." You give him a friendly laugh. Maybe you will fit in here.

Clementine: "Yup, I'm pretty much a badass." You pat her shoulder and nod.

Louis: "And she's modest! Do the wonders never cease?"

Violet: "I wish your mouth would cease."

Louis: "We kicked nineteen kinds of walker ass. And with style. Why not be proud?"

Marlon whistles, and Rosie runs toward him. The group enters the gates.

The group enters the courtyard. Everyone's passes you and Clem who's AJ runs up to the both of you.

AJ:  They're pretty good. With the monsters."

Marlon: "C'mon, y'all, food's nearly--"

Marlon walks up behind AJ and puts his hand on his shoulder. AJ elbows him in the groin and he doubles over in pain.

Clementine: "AJ!"

Y/N: "Well, there's goes his dick."

AJ runs off.

Marlon: "ha-ha." he fake laughs "Shit... Kid packs a goddamn wallop, huh?"

Y/N: "Yeah, you can't really walk up behind him. He's got a...thing about that."

Marlon: "A painful thing."

Marlon: "Look, he can't go around punching people in the...you know...and expect them to eat at the same table." He stands up, from off the ground.

Clementine: "we'll talk to him."

Clementine, and you walk over to AJ, who is staring out through the gate.

Clementine: "Hey."

AJ: "Hey."

Clementine: "What are you looking at?"

AJ: "What's that bird doing? That's gross. He should stop."

A bird feasts on a walker corpse.

Clementine: "The same thing we're doing: surviving."

AJ: "But we don't eat monsters."

Y/N: "Yeah, but if we could, we probably would."

AJ: "I wouldn't."

Clementine: "Whatever you say."

AJ: "I wouldn't! Gross."

AJ: "I didn't mean to hit him. I didn't know that it was Marvin." AJ steps back from the gate and looks at you both.

Clementine: "Marlon."

AJ: "Right."

Clementine: "AJ, I'm sure they'll forgive you. But we should go talk to them."

AJ: "But...but I don't think they like me. I can just tell. They don't." Clem and you crouch in front of him.

Y/N: "They don't know you, AJ. I'll bet when they do, they'll like you just as much as we do."

AJ: "I don't know... Marlon was really mad. And that girl I bit, she yelled at me. They're really scary."

Y/N: "AJ, listen. We haven't eaten for days. The car is gone. All that's outside these walls are walkers. Do you really want to go back out there?"

AJ: "No!"

Clementine: "So we should apologize to Marlon."

AJ: "Right now?"

Clementine: "Well, we can work up to it. Let's talk to the other kids first."

You, and AJ apologize to brody, and talk to everyone in camp. Everyone seems to like you for now.

AJ and you walk up to Clem who is near the fountain.

AJ: "Clem."

Clementine: "Yeah?"

AJ: "I'm ready. To talk to Marlon."

Clementine: "Okay." The three of you walk to brody and marlon.

Brody: "Clementine, and Y/N, right? I'm Brody. He's a sweet little fella. Figured there ain't a lot of room for sweetness still out there."

Clementine: "we're the lucky one. He's just naturally good."

Y/N: "Yeah, before he hits you in the balls." Brody smiles at your joke.

Brody: "Naturally good. That's rare stuff."

AJ: "I'm really sorry I hit you. Can we please stay here and eat dinner and not go out into the forest and get killed by monsters?"

Marlon: "Don't sweat it, buddy. You can make it up to me by teaching me your technique. You are a regular heavyweight."

Louis: "Hey, Clem! Y/N! AJ! Stew's done!" Louis waves at you five from the pot of food.

Marlon: "You guys earned your supper, after all."

Everyone gathers at the tables for dinner and receives a bowl of stew.

Louis: "Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is served."

Clementine: "Thanks. Wow, can't remember the last time we had a hot meal." Clem eats a bite of her food. "Mmm, this is really good."

AJ drinks his stew and gets it all over his face. Louis burps.

Ruby: "Ugh, come on!"

AJ burps and continues guzzling his dinner.

You burp, and AJ does as well. You both laugh.

That was a good one.

Ruby: "Oh, good Lord."

Marlon: "Enough!"

Ruby: "Thank you."

Marlon burps. Everyone laughs, and Ruby leaves the table while flipping off Louis.

Louis: "Goodnight, Rubyyy!"

Ruby walks away. AJ finishes his food.

AJ: "Clem?"

Clementine: "I'm sorry, buddy. I'm sure they shared as much as they could."

Louis: "AJ, heads up!" (gives bowl to AJ) "I'm full, kiddo. You can have the rest."

Y/N: "You sure?" You finish the rest of your food.

Louis: "You bet."

AJ: "I'm all done."

Clementine: "Mm-hmm. Me too."

AJ: "Now what?"

Louis: "I'll tell you what." (flips chair around) "Time for something...very important."

Louis pulls out a deck of cards.

Brody: "Oh, god, goodnight."

Brody walks away.

Louis: "Violet! It's time!"

Violet goes over to their table.

Marlon: "What's the game tonight, Lou?"

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

Clementine: "I don't know the game. The only card game I've played had less people."

Louis: "Don't worry, you'll pick it up as we go."

Violet: "It's easy. Everyone gets a stack of cards, everyone flips one over. Highest card wins."

Louis: "And the winner gets to ask Clem and Y/N a question." Everyone turns to look at him. "What? I want to get to know you. We all do." Everyone goes back to their original positions.

Clementine: "And what if any of us win?"

Louis: "Then you get to ask us one. It's only fair."

Y/N: "Wait, what about AJ?" You look back at where AJ was sitting and there's no one there.

Marlon: "What about him? Looks like he's made a friend."

AJ is at Tenn's table. Tenn is drawing a in sketchbook.

Marlon: "C'mon, you can take your eyes off him for one card game. I'll bet you both could use a break from each other."

Clementine: "Yeah, maybe. This is his first time around anyone his own age. Sometimes he acts more like an adult than a kid. It's nice to see him act like a little boy again."

Marlon: "Louis? If you would?"

Everyone flips over their cards.

Violet: "Way to go, me. So about AJ... Where are AJ's parents? You three don't really look related, so... What happened there?"

Y/N: "His dad was killed by some asshole." You sit the cards back down.

Violet: "And his mom?"

Clementine: "Long story, sad story." You shake your head remembering Both of their horrible deaths.

Everyone flips over their cards.

Y/N: "Hey, I win."

Louis: "Hey, you do. So what do you want to know?"

Y/N: "Okay, uh... What's the grossest thing you've ever eaten?"

Violet: "It's pretty easy. Uh, horse eyeballs."

Marlon: "Slugs."

Louis: "Cantaloupe."

Violet: "C'mon."

Louis: "Dude, I fucking HATE cantaloupe."

Clementine: "I ate a guy's leg once. I'm kidding." It hard to ever forgets marks demise. That has to be one of the worst days of your life. You killed someone for the first time ever back then..

Louis: "Are you...?" Everyone leaves it at that.

Everyone flips over their cards.

Louis: "Booyah."

Violet: "C'mon, spit it out."

Louis: "So, uh...ever, uh...ever have a boyfriend?" Did he already forget about your kiss when he was playing the piano.

Violet: "Oh, my god."

Louis: "What? It happens. Perfectly valid question. You can ask me if I've ever had a girlfriend. I haven't, by the way."

Violet: "Oh, I'm sure she's real surprised about that one."

Clementine: "I...met a boy one time."

Louis: "And?"

Clementine: "I don't know what you'd call them... But I had some sort of feelings for him. Maybe not exactly love, but...something. but I have Y/N now, and we've been together ever since.." you get the feeling something's up with her, she just confessed her feeling for Gabe right here.

Violet: "Hm. Okay..." You already see a frown creasing against her face.

Y/N: "there was a girl I met, a long time ago. It was really awkward at the start but, I developed feelings for her. And I always wanted to share them but I just couldn't." Clem looks back over at you, then kisses you on the cheek.

Louis: "Okay lovey dovies." Everyone puts their card away and flips the newly placed one on the deck.

Marlon: "Ha, I win. So... You can't have been alone this entire time, just the two of you. Who used to take care of you? Family? Anyone?"

Clementine: "The first person who taught us about survival was Lee."

Marlon: "What'd he teach you?"

Clementine: "Lots of stuff."

Marlon: "Most important thing?"

Clementine: "How to say goodbye..."

Y/N: "How to shoot a gun."

Marlon: "Useful stuff."

Y/N: "Yeah. We taught AJ the same way, too." Everyone leaves it at that and flips up their new cards.

Clementine: "I win."

Louis: "You do indeed. Ask away."

Clementine: "Worst injury you ever saw?"

Violet: "I saw a walker get hit in the head so hard, both his eyeballs flew out. Pretty cool."

Louis: "I saw someone have their intestines pulled all the way out. Like, ALL the way. It goes on for a while. We got a lot of guts."

Y/N: "I saw this guy get his face beaten in with a crowbar. Badly. There wasn't even any skin left."

Louis: "Ouch."

Clementine: "He deserved it."

Everyone flips over their cards.

Violet: "Victory, Violet. Here's something I love to ask when I'm in groups. Out of the four of us, who do you think is gonna die first?"

Louis: "That is fucked up."

Violet: "Oh, I know."

Violet: "This is a fun one I like asking in groups, out of all of us. Who do you think is the most likely to die? That's for you Y/N."

Y/N: "I don't know, you? Probably?"

Violet: "Why probably?"

Clementine: "You asked a morbid question, there's your morbid answer."

Louis: "Ohhh, shit."

Everyone flips over their cards.

Louis: "I am the greatest card player of all time."

Violet: "Just ask your damn question."

Louis: "Ever...actually, never mind."

Y/N: "What? Ask it."

Louis: "It's not a fun question."

Clementine: "Ask."

Louis: "Ever had to kill someone you loved?"

Marlon: "Louis."

Louis: "Hey, she wanted me to ask."

Y/N: "Lee. His name was Lee. It was the same day we found out Clem's parents were dead."

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

Clementine: "Yeah. Worst day of my life."

Clementine: "I think I'm done playing for tonight."

Y/N: "Same here."

Marlon: "Yeah, that's probably for the best."

Louis: "You wanted me to ask." He says to violet. Still sitting down.

Clementine: "Let's go, AJ."

AJ: "Uh, goodnight!"

Tenn: "Night, AJ!"

Clem, You and AJ start walking away. Marlon catches up to you.

Marlon: "Long day, huh?"

Clementine: "Yup. Real long."

Marlon: "I hope you know Louis didn't mean any harm there. He's just the world's biggest dumbass. He's my best friend, so I can legally call him that."

Marlon opens the door for Clem, You and AJ.

Marlon: "You guys relax, get some sleep, feel human for a night. In the morning, come find me. We can talk about making this long-term."

AJ: "We can stay?"

Marlon: "We can talk about it." He closes the door behind you and the four of you make your way to the dorm room where you stayed.

AJ: (points to door) "Only way out?"

Clementine: "Yep."

AJ: "Good."

Clen sets the candle down that she grabbed earlier from one of the windows. She sets it on the desk and puts her hat on the dresser. You put Kenny's hat next to hers on the dresser underneath the window.

AJ: "This box has so many colors." He examines the box you used to get the knife out of.

Clementine: "Well, must have been an artist living in here."

AJ: "What's an artist?"

Clementine: "It's like...a person who colors a lot. Draws. Does pictures."

AJ: "You mean like Tenn?"

Y/N: "Yeah, like Tenn."

AJ: "Huh. I like to do pictures too."

AJ starts drawing. Violet enters the room.

Violet: "Oh. Shit. I--I didn't know Marlon set you up in this room. I just wanted to grab something. From the closet." (checks closet) "Where the hell is it?" (sees box) "Oh."

Clementine: "What?"

Violet: "That's what I was looking for. It belonged to Sophie. Uh... Tenn's sister. He was asking for more art supplies and stuff, so I was going to..."

Clementine: "Oh! Sorry, we didn't know..."

Violet: "No, no, it's fine. Don't worry about it. Honestly, it's just been sitting here for the past year and no one's touched it. If AJ wants to play with it, it's...it's fine."

Y/N: "You should probably give the box back. It doesn't belong to us."

Violet: "Thanks, buddy. It's just that Tenn wanted it, since it was his sister's and all."

AJ: "It's okay."

Violet: "You can finish your drawing, though. I don't mind."

AJ: "Okay." Violet looks around the room, noticing Clem's Dad's hat and Kenny's.

Violet: "Huh! I see you're, um...settling in."

Clementine: "Yeah. Is that okay?"

Violet: "Sure. I guess. I always liked this room. Sophie had, like, paintings and shit on the walls. Lots of color. And Minerva...she was really musical. Not like Louis, though...she had actual talent." (Clem laughs) "She had the most amazing voice. Real bluesy. Marlon always joked that he would scavenge a guitar and the two of them would tour the country. That was a long time ago. After they...afterwards, Brody and Tenn took down all the paintings. And that was the end of it. I shouldn't have even brought it up. It's not a good memory. Guess I just lost my train of thought." Violet grips the ladder to the bunk bed you previously were placed on.

Y/N: "Well, they sound like they were great friends."

Violet: "Yeah, Sophie was a good friend. And Minnie... Uh... We were close. Me and her."

Clementine: "What exactly happened to them? Sophie and Minerva?" (sits on bed)

Violet: "They went scavenging with Marlon and Brody out past the safe zone. Didn't make it back. It happens." (sits on bed) "Honestly, I just miss having someone around to talk to. There's just...so many dudes. This place can get a little too bro-town for my liking sometimes. And I'm not exactly, like...a people person. You know? I know I sometimes have a habit...have a habit of being a little bit too harsh." You step near Clem and lean against the top bunk on the other side of the rooms bed.

Clementine: "Yeah. Us too. First impressions aren't exactly our strong suit either."

Violet: "Oh. Right."

AJ: "Hey, I'm an artist now."

Clem goes over to look at the drawing you do too.

Clementine: "Not bad, kiddo."

Violet: "I should be getting back."

Violet closes the lid to the box and takes it.

Violet: "Thanks again for the box. You're pretty cool, AJ."

Violet: "See ya."

Clementine: "Yeah. See ya."

Y/N: "Yeah, see ya."

Violet leaves, closing the door gently behind her.

Clementine: "Okay, Alvin Junior. Time for bed."

AJ: "Okay. Here." (shows drawing) it's AJ standing next to you and Clem who are kissing. Clem doesn't seem to notice.

Clementine: "For me?"

AJ: "For the wall. To make our home look nice."

Y/N: "That's a good idea, AJ."

You have collected: AJ's Drawing - He tried really hard.

You hang AJ's drawing on the wall. Near the desk he draws on.

Y/N: "How about...here? Uh...AJ?" Clem and you look at the photo before You hear creaking on the floor, and don't see AJ.

Clem and you find AJ under the bed. You crouch on the floor and talk to him.

Clementine: "Hey there. What are you doing?"

AJ: "This is where I'm gonna sleep."

Clementine: "What? No, it's not."

AJ: "It's safe under here. No one can get me."

Clementine: "You're gonna get cold down there. The bed's a lot warmer."

AJ: "What about the door? What if someone comes in? What if they try to hurt us? What if they steal our stuff?"

Y/N: "that door is sturdy as hell, I tried getting out. Trust me, it wasn't easy."

AJ: "I don't know..."

AJ: "If I stay here, no one can find me, and I can keep guard and watch over you. I can protect us."

Clementine: "Hey, what's gotten into you?"

AJ: "Please, Clem? It's not so bad down here. I'll be okay. I promise."

Y/N: "AJ. Listen to me. It's gonna be okay. Please just give the bed a chance. It's soft and warm. I think you'll really like it."

AJ climbs into the bed.

AJ: "This bed is really soft."

Clementine: "Told you so."

AJ: "It's really, REALLY soft."

Clementine gets into bed with you on the bottom bunk.

Clementine: "Goodnight, AJ."

AJ: "Clem? Y/N?

Clementine: "Yeah?"

AJ: "I'm glad we're not sleeping in the car anymore."

Clementine: "Yeah. Me too." You watch as AJ closes his eyes and lays down, he leans his head against the pillow it seems like hes asleep already.

Y/N: "Love, you Clem," you whisper to her.

Clementine: "I love you too." She whispers back, you kiss her on the cheek and she nuzzles closer to you. You wrap your arm around her chest and pull her close from behind. She looks back at you and smirks. She closes her eyes and you do too.

Your brain seems so tired and your limps are so hard to move, a million thoughts flow through your brain. Does Clem love Gabe, will they let you stay here? Will the apocalypse ever end.. with that thought you close your eyes and go to sleep.
