In the morning, Clem, You and AJ go up the stairs in the admin building.

AJ: "He's gonna let us stay, right?" Aj reaches a small platform where the stairs turn to a right.

Clementine: "I guess we're gonna find out. Let's find his office." Stepping into the platform, you continue up the new stairs.

AJ: "I know where it is. I'll show you."

Ypu reach the top of the stairs.

AJ: "Up here! C'mon, This way."

Y/N: "Hey! AJ--wait up!"

In front of you is a open door at the top of the steps, in the rest of the hallway is boarded up doors. you, AJ and Clem enter Marlon's office, where Tenn is playing with toys on the floor.

AJ: "Tenn's here." AJ sits on the ground in front of Tenn. You and Clem stand beside the door with your arms crossed.

Tenn: "Hey, Thanks for the pencils. I missed having colors."

Clementine: "Sure thing."

Y/N: "Anytime."

AJ: "Who are these guys?" He points to a small toy next to a police man, the fireman has a large red hat with a yellow jacket accompanied by some red stripes. All in all, it's pretty small.

Tenn: "They're firefighters. That one's a policeman. She's gonna save the day."

AJ: "But what are they?" AJ turns to Clem and you, with the small firefighter in hand.

Tenn: "They...these were the people who protected us."

Y/N: "They protected us from fire to be exact."

AJ: "Where are they? I've never seen one before."

Clementine: "They're still out there. Someday, maybe you'll meet one."

AJ: "That would be cool."

Tenn: "Super cool."

Y/N: "Yeah.."

Tenn: "Now give it to me and..."

Tenn reaches for the toy, and AJ pulls it away.

AJ: "No. He's mine now."

Tenn: "Hey, give it back..."

AJ: "No." AJ stands up while Tenn stays sitting down.

Tenn: "You don't even know what they are!"

Y/N: "Okay, okay. That's enough, you two."

Clem takes the toy.

AJ: "It's not yours anymore. please?"

Clem gives the toy to Tenn.

AJ: "It's mine."

Y/N: "No. It's not. Something that you take isn't always yours, I learned that the hard way." You whisper that last part to yourself, but AJ seems to understand.

AJ: "Ugh, fine."

Tenn: "Thanks." The three of you stay standing.

Y/N: "Do you know where Marlon is?"

Tenn: "I don't know. He should be around. I can go find him."

Clementine: "That'd be nice. Thanks, Tenn."

Tenn leaves the room.

AJ: "Look!"

Clementine: "Hey, what did you find?"

AJ: "It's a picture. Of Marlon and Louis. They're so little." Louis has small brown things on either side of his face, Marlon has fluffy blonde hair and they both hold up a soccer ball.

Y/N: "That's when they were kids."

Clementine: "Wow. They've known each other a long time, huh?"

The door creaks open slightly.

Clementine: "Marlon?"

Rosie opens the door and walks into the room. Clem gasps and you take a defensive stance, your left leg pulled back slightly more then normal and your right foot stays in place. Rosie growls.

Y/N: "Stay back..." Clem steps behind you while you grab your pants pocket, preparing to protect AJ and Clem if necessary.

Rosie barks at you as you move backward. Marlon enters the room.

Marlon: "Whoa, what the hell's going--hey, hey, it's okay, girl. Shh."

Marlon pets Rosie and she calms down.

Marlon: "You said dogs brought back bad memories. I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were so scared of them. But I swear, Rosie's not as frightening as she seems. (whistles and holds up fist) Sit, girl." (Rosie sits) "See? She's harmless. She just needs to get to know you, is all. Here. I'll show you." (offers hand) "Do you trust me?" (Rosie growls) "Rosie, shh. Sorry. I promise, she's not gonna bite."

Clementine: "Okay. I guess."

Clem puts her hand in Marlon's, and he brings it close to Rosie's face.

Marlon: "Get down on her level. Let her get your scent. It's okay. She's not gonna hurt you."

Rosie sniffs Clementine's hand and licks her.

Marlon: "There you go. Now, whistle and tell her to lie down."

Clementine: (whistles) "Lie down, Rosie."

Rosie lies down on the bed in the corner of the room.

AJ: "That's so cool."

Marlon: "See? Not so hard."

Clementine: "Yeah. That was...pretty cool."

Marlon: "And now Rosie will recognize you. She's really well-trained."

Marlon: "(Whistles) Come, here rosie." Rosie gets out of the chair and walks to the five of you. Marlon does the same process with your hand. After, he tells her to lay down, without a whistle.

Rosie lies down on the bed in the corner of the room.

Marlon: "She was the headmaster's dog, back when this place was still functional. But when the world went to shit, he bailed. All the other adults did. Left us behind to fend for ourselves."

Clementine: "Wow. What a dick."

Y/N: "You said it."

Marlon: "Understatement of the century. Now it's just us kids left. And I'd like it if you and AJ were a part of that. Both of you are plenty capable, and we need that. Here... This is the current state of our plan for gathering food." Marlon walks around the desk, around a brown leather chair and puts his hands on the wooden table. AJ, Clem, and you step in front of the desk.

Marlon shows Clementine and you a hand-drawn map depicting the school and the surrounding area on the desk.

Marlon: "We are starting to run short. It's getting harder and harder to feed everyone in this school."

Clem looks at the greenhouse.

Clementine: "The greenhouse..."

Marlon: "Ah, yeah. Uh, don't get too excited about that one. We used to maintain it real well. Had plenty of vegetables growing. But it became overgrown, upkeep was impossible. Yeah, we, uh, we keep away from that now."

Clem looks at the forest.

Clementine: "I didn't realize how much forest surrounds this place."

Marlon: "It's how we've kept ourselves from unwanted attention for so long. Well... For the most part, anyway."

Clem looks at the train station.

Clementine: "That's the train station. There was a whole stash of food under the floorboards."

Marlon: "Oh, where you crashed your car? Pretty sure that place is a lost cause. There was a hell of a lot of smoke coming from it when we found you two. Walkers flooded in there after all the noise you made."

Clem looks at the road.

Marlon: "That's the only road that leads in and out of Ericson. If you go off it, you'll eventually end up in the valley. We used to have signs that led people to the school, but I took them down. Wanted this place to be hard to find."

Clem looks at the hunting area.

Clementine: "What's the trap area?"

Marlon: "Hunting grounds, more or less. Louis built some traps out there to catch game. He and Aasim are set to go check them today."

Clem looks at the river.

Clementine: "What's out here?"

Marlon: "Ah, that's where we fish. Got a shack for storage right here..." (points to map) "Right along the river. It's secure, mostly. Get the occasional walker or two come by. Vi and Brody should be heading out there in a bit."

After Clem looks at all the locations while you listened. Marlon points to the red lines on the map.

Marlon: "One more thing...see these red lines?"

Clementine: "Yeah."

Marlon: "So everything inside is the safe zone. It's been getting smaller over the years, and food's become more scarce."

Y/N: "So why not go outside it?"

Marlon: "We can't. whenever someone goes outside the safe zone, bad shit happens. People die or disappear. I just... I could really use the help. Taking care of these kids, it's not easy. I'm worried that if I don't figure something out, if...if I don't fix our food situation... I can't lose anyone else. We've already lost so much. Friends, siblings... I can't let another kid die. It could break us."

Clementine: "We're not gonna let that happen. I promise." You nod.

Marlon: "Thanks, Clementine. I appreciate that. I really do."

Marlon: "Everyone's counting on me to step up. Be the leader they need me to be. I really want to be that for them. You and AJ are two more mouths to feed. But maybe you can help me feed the rest."

Clementine: "So what do you need from us?"

Marlon: "Louis and Aasim are heading to the hunting grounds, looking for rabbits. Well, Aasim will, anyway. Louis... I just hope he shows up, if I'm really being honest. Violet and Brody are going upriver to do some spearfishing. Hopefully those two get along long enough to get some work done. Both teams could use some extra hands."

Clementine: "Let's go do some hunting."

AJ: "Yeah."

Y/N: "Okay, let's do it." You remember back to last night where they both looked visibly upset at your arrival with Clementine. the real question is.. what for. There's so many reasons but only one stands out to you.

Marlon gives the map to you after he steps around the table.

Y/N: "Thanks."

You have: SCHOOL MAP - Big Place.

Marlon: "We all need hands on deck if we're going to find any more food. Just remember to stay in the safe zone. We need you to come back home in one piece."

AJ: "So that means we can stay?"

Marlon: "What, did you think I was gonna throw you out?"

AJ: "Maybe."

Marlon: "Well, as long as we got enough to eat, you're both welcome here. Go get 'em, AJ."

Marlon holds up his hand, and AJ high-fives him.

Clementine: "Alright. Let's get going."

Marlon: "See you around."

In the forest.

Aasim, You, Clementine, Louis, and AJ walk through the forest.

Aasim: "Hunting grounds are usually clear of walkers. Sometimes they get caught in the snares and shit, though. You see a ribbon on a tree, traps are nearby. So watch where you step." He looks back the the three of you.

Louis: (scoffs) "Please. I think I can handle myself. I'm basically a ninja. Skilled in the craft of martial arts."

Clementine: "Oh, you too? I thought I was the only one."

AJ: "Me too."

Clem and AJ pose like ninjas, with their hands up. It looks like something from a movie you seen as a kid.

Aasim: "Oh, my god."

Aasim: We've got work to do. Not all of us have the privilege of being Marlon's lapdog.

Louis: Oh, ouch! Someone's a little jealous... In my defense, I totally get things done. I just prefer to think of survival as more of a...day-to-day task. So, you know--don't sweat the technique.

Y/N: "You do what you do to survive. That's all that matters."

Louis: "I knew you'd understand."

Aasim: "Whatever, man."

Aasim: "You act like you're the only one with a strategy. I play the long game. You've gotta have plans B, C, and D."

Louis: "And what if you don't make it that far?"

Clementine: "Shh, shut up a second."

A walker growls nearby, and the group draws their weapons. They find that a walker has been caught by one of the traps.

Louis: "Ha! Hey, check this guy out. He's like a walker piñata!"

Louis pokes the walker's head with Chairles.

Aasim: "Cut it down, fix the snare, and let's go."

Louis: "I will, I will! Eventually."

Aasim: "If you want food for the kid, you'll help me get food. or go with this idiot and starve." Clem is already walking over to louis, a smile on her and AJ's faces as they walk. You decide to actually try and get some food.

Aasim: "You a good shot?"

Y/N: "Yeah."

Aasim: (gives bow to You) "Good. I'll chase them out of the bush. You shoot. Last time I was out here it looked like one of the rabbits had some babies. I'm not sure how many are still around, so careful where you shoot. Aim for the parents."

Aasim scares some rabbits out of the bush.

You shoot a rabbit.

Aasim: "You weren't lying. You're a damn good shot. Gonna need a few more like this if we're hoping to eat, though."

You have: RABBIT - Looks like a meal.

Aasim: "I saw some others run this way."

You move forward, and Aasim scares a rabbit out of another bush.

You shoot a rabbit.

Aasim: "You definitely nailed the thing." He picks it up off of the ground.

Clementine: "Y/N c'mere!"

You walk over to AJ, Clem, and louis with Aasim.

AJ: "Look, it got one."

The group gathers around a trap that caught a rabbit.

AJ: "It's a baby."

Louis: "Well, all meat is good meat."

Aasim: "It's not enough. Release it, let it get bigger."

AJ: "I'm hungry."

Aasim: "So am I, but we'll be even hungrier tomorrow if we don't let him go."

Louis: "Tomorrow doesn't exist, dingus. There's just today. And today, I'm hungry. We're hungry. Are you gonna do it? I can't watch."

Clem releases the rabbit.

AJ won't forget that.

AJ: "Bye, bunny."

Louis: "Really? What are we supposed to eat tonight, then?" (sighs) "I get it. I wouldn't want to kill a baby bunny, either."

Aasim: "You'll thank me in a few months."

Louis: "If we live that long."

Louis: "Alright, well, the snares have all been reset and are ready to trap things. We good to go now or what?"

Aasim: "Thanks to Y/N, we got more than I expected. Not enough for everyone, but enough to smile about."

Aasim: "I'll take this back. You two should meet up with Brody and Violet and see if they've managed to snag any fish. This isn't gonna be enough for the whole school."

AJ: "I like fish."

Aasim: "That's great. See ya."

Aasim leaves.

Louis: "Follow me. The girls are probably near the shack."

AJ: "Do you like fish?"

Louis: "I once ate a whole shark."

AJ: "No, you didn't!"

AJ, Louis, You and Clem reach the shack.

Clementine: "Where's Vi and Brody?"

Louis: "They should be here by now."

AJ: "Clem, look."

They find a dead walker impaled with a spear.

AJ: "Monster." Everyone stands over top of it while louis reaches the front door on the porch.

Louis: "Vi wouldn't have just left this out in the open. Wait--isn't that one of our spears?" (checks door) "Lock's busted. We might not be alone."

Everyone draws their weapons.

Clementine: "Stand back." Everyone walks on the porch, AJ steps back and grabs his pistol from his waistband.

You open the door slowly, and lean in. "All clear!" You yell back to them, and step in with clementine at your side. There sits a table in the middle it looks like one of those you'd buy for a cheap price for a cook out or something. Empty bottles sit on it while there's pushes chairs on either side, shelves sit in the back where some supplies should sit.

Louis: "Holy shit. This place is wrecked. All our supplies are gone! I'll take a look around outside. Hold tight."

Louis goes outside.

AJ: "Are we in danger?"

Clementine: "Maybe."

You notice a fire burning. Next to it is a cigarette.

Y/N: "Cigarette. Hand-rolled. Is this a Bible page?"

You have: HAND ROLLED CIGARETTE - Someone's got a habit.

Brody and Vi enter the shack.

Violet: "Clementine? Y/N?"

Brody: "What the hell happened in here?"

Clementine: "Do any of the kids smoke?"

Violet: "Nope. Nothing to smoke."

Louis returns.

Louis: "No sign of our thief."

Brody: "Thief?"

Violet: "Oh, shit. We just walked a mile of river and the traps were all empty. No fish, none."

Brody: "Someone robbed us?"

Louis: "Oh, great. And now we're gonna starve."

Brody: "Fuck, that's...fuck...fuck! It's just...fuck...it's okay, it's...breathe, Brody, c'mon...c'mon, c'mon, c'mon..."

Y/N: "We're gonna find some food chil-"

Brody: Just shut the fuck up, okay?!

Y/N: "Excuse me?!"

Brody: "Just give me some space. I have to tell Marlon about this."

Louis: "Um, we still need food. You know, to live? We definitely don't have enough here."

Brody: "You guys figure it out."

Brody leaves.

Aasim: "I'll take this haul back to the school. Maybe we can ration out something."

Aasim leaves.

Louis: "So what do we do? Eat rocks?" Louis walks towards the fireplace and leans on to the brick.

AJ: "You can't eat rocks."

Louis: "I'm aware."

AJ: "Will Marlon kick us out if we don't find food?"

Clementine: "Well, let's not find out."

Louis: "Where else could we look?"

Y/N: "Let me think..."

You take out the map and look at the train station. But Clem speaks before you do.

Clementine: "The train station. It's not too far from here."

Violet: "I don't know, that's pretty far outside our perimeter." She sits in a chair that wasn't pushed over.

Y/N: "There was food when we passed through. It's worth a look."

Violet: "You sure there was food?"

Y/N: "Positive. Yeah, some of it was destroyed in the explosion, but there has to be something left. There was so much there."

Violet: "Alright, fine. Lead the way."

Clementine: "Or we could starve."

Violet: "Fine. Let's go." Everyone steps outside and on the porch, the sun is starting to go down and it's getting colder.

Authors note: Sorry for all of the errors this episode, I really wanted to get this one out but it was really cold in my house. See ya later.
