Before Rebecca could leave, Clementine glared at her, tilted her hat down in hesitation before simply sighing, letting her go. If she were to piss her off even more, that wouldn't really help her group's case. Might as well play nice with the witch. She tossed her plate in the sink, tiredly making her way to the living room, where she laid down next to Lee and Carley. She noticed that Christa was breathing irregularly, but decided to leave her alone. She fell asleep in her guardian's arms.

The next morning, breakfast came. It was a bit awkward since the whole group was here this time, but it wasn't too bad. Her group kept things light, or tried to. "So then I was attacked by a walker, and that's when Clementine came to my rescue." Oh yeah, Lee was telling the story of how him and Clementine met, since Carlos was genuinely curious. Everyone was listening, minus Christa and Rebecca, who were actually just glaring at each other. This girl next to Clementine, the one named Sarah, was quiet the entire morning until her dad left the table to go outside for a leak.

"Wow.. That story is so cool. I'm Sarah." The teenage girl whispered. Clem looked up at her and felt weird. She didn't see many girls her age before.

"Uh, hi. I'm Clementine." She greeted back, taking a bite of her toast.

"You're really able to do that?" Sarah asked, referring to the hammer story. Clem looked at her weirdly, did this girl really not know people could do that?

"Yeah, I had to rough it ever since the walkers started. I spent the first two days in my treehouse."

"Sounds scary. My dad took us to his friends, but we ended up moving out. That's how we met Luke and the others."

"So, you've had to kill too, right? What was your first like?" It was a weird question, but to be fair this wasn't like the times with Duck, before she ever had a walker kill.. Or a human one.

Sarah seemed disturbed by this question, her expression seeming taken aback. "Huh? Kill? Why would I ever do that?"

"...To survive?" Clem said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, which it was.

"No, I haven't. We're safe out here, no one ever comes to hurt me." Something was up with this kid.

"Uh.. Alright then." Clem resumed eating.

"Hey, how old are you?" The nerdy girl questioned.

"I'm eleven." She answered after swallowing.

"I'm fifteen. It's been so long since I've met someone my age!" Sarah exclaimed.

"We're not the same age.. You're way older than me."

"Well, I'm still a kid. There are also like, no girls here. Rebecca is cool, but she's super old, and if her baby is a girl, by the time I can talk to her, I'll be old too. Everyone else are old guys, and I don't know your group well, but almost everyone in it is old-"

"Alright, I get it." Clem could feel herself getting a headache. She had never met anyone so.. Talkative since Duck. It was actually kinda nice, even if it was annoying.

"Sorry, I'm just excited."

"It's alright, I get it." There was a silence between the two for the moment, the rest of the table still chatting away about the plans for later.

"Can we maybe.. Be friends?" Sarah spoke out of nowhere. Clem looked at her and hesitantly nodded.

"Sure. We just met though, so-"

"Really?! You have to pinky swear that we're friends."

"I- what?"

Sarah held out her pinky, awaiting for the girl to accept the gesture. Clementine barely knew this girl, should she really make such a commitment so early? Pinky swears and 'friendship' seemed really important to this girl. It could be a good investment, or a pain in the ass.

Choices:

A: Pinky swear with Sarah

B: Respectfully decline.

Relationships:

Lee: 10/10

Carley: 10/10

Chuck: 10/10

Christa: 8/10

Molly: 10/10

Pete: 7/10

Nick: 7/10 (For apologizing)

Carlos: 5/10

Rebecca: 2/10 (Her opinion of you is unchanged)


Meanwhile, Lee was talking to Pete about today's plans. He noticed Clementine and Carlos' girl were talking and decided to leave them alone, moving to the Spaniards seat. "Hey, guys."

"Hey, Lee." Pete replied, turning his attention back to his nephew.

"So, the girls comin'?" Nick questioned, giving her the occasion glance. She was always with that old guy. 'Is that her dad or something?' He thought to himself.

"Yeah, why? You afraid of her?" The dark skinned man asked.

"No, I'm just.. Worried it's gonna be awkward. The rest of your group seems to have forgiven me, but she still seems like she's ticked off." The young man stammered. Molly looked in his direction for a second, an obvious frown on her face. Then, she got up and left for the back door.

"You did make everything just a little bit worse." Pete muttered.

"I apologized!" Nick argued with a hint of blush on his cheeks.

"Let me tell you, apologizing doesn't solve every problem." Luke suddenly added as he finished his breakfast.

"I.. I know." Alvin appeared a few seconds after the conversation seemingly finished. He was listening the whole time, since he wasn't too far from them at the table. "What's up, Alvin?"

"What you said.. That gives me an idea. Since Bec is kinda ticked off at me for yesterday, I was thinking.. Lee, you should come with me on a hunting trip." The chubby man suggested.

"Hunting? Sure, I don't mind. You'll take care of Clementine, right?" Lee asked Pete as he climbed out of his seat.

"Of course I will, though the little girl will have not only three people, but also her tough as nails self. If you ask me, she doesn't need protection." The leader of the group told the other leader.

"Without a weapon, she might. You think you can give us our guns back soon?"

"Not yet. I trust ya, but not everyone is at that point yet. Sorry, Lee."

Lee rolled his eyes. "Hmph.. How am I supposed to help you hunt without a gun?" He asked Alvin, who seemed just as confused about that question as Lee. When Pete was focused on putting Lee's dish away, Alvin mouthed a quick 'You can have one.' Lee smiled and winked. Luke and Nick were still eating, and thus didn't notice.

"You can uh.. Be lookout." Alvin told the man.

"Okay then.." Lee said in his best disappointed impression.

"Wait, what does that have to do with what we were talking about?" Nick asked.

"Oh, nothing. You're on your own there." Alvin chuckled, patting the kid on the shoulder before heading for the door. "Meet me outside when you finish breakfast, I'll tell Bec where we're going. Have a safe trip, Pete."

"Will do." And breakfast was shortly there after, wrapped up.

As Lee got ready to leave, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Christa. "Oh, hey, Christa.. What's up? Are you feeling okay?"

"Just.. Listen to this, okay?"

"Okay.."

"I don't trust these people. Last night, that doctor guy whispered to Luke about something, something about sugarcoating, that added up with the 'Carver' secret and it all sounds like a booby trap. We need to leave for Wellington as soon as you get back. I know what you said yesterday about staying here, but I'm serious." Christa had been showing off worrying behavior all day and yesterday.. Can she really be trusted with any important decisions, or is her paranoia justified?

Choices:

A: "Calm down, we're staying here. We'll die on the road unless we catch our bearings."

B: We'll leave eventually, but now isn't the time. Maybe in a week?

C: We can leave tomorrow.

D: We'll leave as soon as I come back.

Relationships:

Clementine: 10/10

Christa: 9/10 (She likes that you asked for her opinion instead of forcing her into anything)

Carley: 10/10 (Carley also liked what you did when it came to the Christa scenario)

Chuck: 10/10

Molly: 10/10

Luke: 7/10

Pete: 7/10

Nick: 7/10 (For apologizing)

Alvin: 7/10 (He feels bad for you and your group)

Rebecca: 2/10

Carlos: 5/10

Sarah: 5/10
