OK, this has been in my head for awhile now so I just had to get it out! It's longer then I thought! I was just thinking about how funny it would be for Sarah, Clem, and Nick to be alone together would be! This is POSSIBLY a one shot. My friend is pestering me about making a lot more Nick/Clem/ Sarah drabbles. She says I have, 'a lot of cute ideas'

pfffft I have a lot of evil ideas! BUT I decided to let you decide! If you think this should just remain a oneshot then lemmie know! if you think it should become a series of cute little one shots lemmie know!

ALSO if I do make more than one, I will take suggestions!

anyway, I hope you like it and please leave a review!

ONTO THE STURY!

This one is in Nicks POV (If I make more, the POV will be determinate on who I think is the most important one for the story)

"There is no fucking way!" I scowled at Luke. The slightly older guy placed his machete in it's holder and looked at me.

"We'll only be gone for a couple hours," He tried to reassure me, "I just need you to watch them. It's not that hard!"

Luke, along with everybody else in the god forsaken group, was going out to hunt, fish, keep an eye out for signs of Carver, and all kinds of other shit. I usually don't go. I keep an eye on the cabin and I stay with Sarah. The young girl isn't that hard to take care of, until she decides to make me read one of her books. But now I have another little girl who not only is sassier, but it turns out, she also is very wicked in the head. Sarah alone I can barley deal with, With Clementine thrown in, I can assure you somebody will be dead by the end of the night.

"I cant take care of a couple of kids!" He should know this better then anyone.

Luke rolled his dark brown eyes, "Just stay and keep an eye out for them!"

"keep an eye out for what though?!" I rested my hands on my hips

"Just, I dunno, protect them!"

"I nearly killed Clementine yesterday! Why are you asking me?"

"Because, I trust you with them."

Usually, I would have been thankful for that, "It's not like they need protecting!" I threw my hands in the air, "The younger one bashed a lurkers head in with a hammer just twelve hours ago!"

Luke ran a hand through his hair. My friend has seemed to be horribly tired for the past couple weeks. We've all been having a hard time and with Luke being the leader, he's had to take it all into consideration. I wish I could help him. He's had a lot of stress lately. And I'm not making things any better. I've tried to talk to him, but my own grieve has gotten in the way. My mom died not long ago and it's been killing me. Might as well make it up to him.

I sighed, "Fine,"

Luke looked at me, "What?"

"Fine," I repeated, "But I get to sleep on the bed tonight." Luke and I shared a room. We took turns sleeping on the bed and sleeping on the floor.

He chuckled, "Alright Nick." As soon as we said goodbye and Luke walked out that door. The two dark haired ,little girls came downstairs and looked at me with smiling faces. I might've juts signed a death contract.

Not ten minutes later, I found the pair in the kitchen. They were whispering and giggling while eating. Sarah had a can of peaches (Since she just has this love for fruit. Strawberries are her favorite) And Clem had a can of beans (Since that's all that was left). Sarah would occasionally look over at me and Clem would Try to avoid looking at me. What are they planning. It was then when I realized that I was thirsty, and the water bottles were next to them. after a few moments of debating, I got up and slowly started to walk over. Clem noticed me first.

"Shhhh!" She hushed Sarah, clearly amused, "He's coming!"

I raised an eyebrow at the two. I grabbed a water bottle and was ready to leave, before Sarah stopped me

"Hey," She grabbed my arm to get my attention, "Question."

"Yeah?" I slowly responded.

"What's your last name?" Clementine asked instead.

"Why?"

"Just tell us," The eleven year old put on puppy dog eyes, "Please?"

I opened the bottle and took a drink, "Randall." Sarah burst into laughter and Clem smiled, "What's so funny?"

"Landall?" Clem asked Sarah, ignoring my question.

She shook her head, "We should use their first names"

"Hmmmm," Clem bit her bottom lip.

"What're you-,"

, "Lick?" Sarah asked as she nearly jumped out of her seat

Clem made a face, "No! how about... Nuke?"

They both started gleaming at the same time. Their heads snapped in my direction before Sarah squealed, "IT'S PERFECT!"

I looked at those two. I knew this was a bad idea, "What is it you guys are going on about?"

"Nuke," Clem said again before adding, "I ship it!"

Sarah giggled, "It's going to be a thing!"

"We should make a sign!" Clementine said, full of excitement.

"A sign for what?" I asked again. They both looked at me, a bit awkwardly.

Clem leaned in and whispered, "They can never know."

"Agreed," Sarah nodded. Before I knew it, they dashed upstairs and left me puzzled.

I heard a scream and instantly panicked. What happened? Did a lurker get into the cabin? Did Carver find us? Did somebody get hurt? I ran into the living room and to my relief, there were no dead things or any blood. Clementine was standing on the coffee table and Sarah had taken a position on the couch. They were both staring all over the floor and whimpered a bit. Once again, confusion hit me. What is wrong with these two?

"What's going on?" I asked and moved so that I could look at Clem.

"There's a-" SHe stumbled on her words, "Creepy crawlies!"

"Clem," I was actually growing concerned, "Are you alright I took her arms (That she was holding protectively) and examined them. The only wound was the one she got from the dog. I deemed her fine and moved onto Sarah, doing the same thing. They weren't hurt or anything. I looked at them both before asking, "What happened."

"I s-saw a" Sarah attempted to get out but failed.

Clementine moved closer to me but stayed standing on the table, "She saw a spider!" I gave her an, "Are you fucking serious?" Look.

"You," I pointed at her, "Can be locked in a shed, find a way out, steal from a group full of people with a lot of guns without them even noticing you, sew your own arm up, and kill a lurker with nothing but a hammer right after, and you're scared of a spider?"

Her eyes widened, "it's a very big spider."

I rolled my eyes, even though a smile crept onto my face. The thought of Clementine being scared of something as small and harmless as a spider actually makes me happy. It's good to know she still has a childish antics. She had worry etched into her features and she kept looking at the ground. Suddenly, she squealed and latched onto me. Her hands point downwards and she stumbled along her words. I don't even know what she was trying to say. but I figured it out when my eyes followed her fingers and I saw the spider.

"I thought you said it was a big spider," I looked at her. She gave me this look... priceless.

"YOU MEAN THEY GET BIGGER THEN THAT?"

I laughed, "There are some bigger then you!"

I felt her shiver, "Just, get rid of it!"

"Kill it!" Sarah demanded. Not the thing I would expect from her, but she really does hate spiders.

Clem looked at the girl slightly older then her, and then back at me, "No! Don't kill it! Just take it outside or something!"

"But what if it comes back?" Sarah asked.

"It wont!" Clem said with certainty.

I laughed once more before grabbing a cup and a piece of paper. I trapped the small thing and opened the widow, tossing it out. Sarah gave me a disapproving look, but I didn't care. I don't see any reason to kill it. I placed the paper and cup down and Clem got off the table. She gave me a smile. I was surprised when she gave me a hug. I tensed when her small arms wrapped around me and I looked down at her.

"Thanks Nick!" She said, not put of by my lack of response. I juts stood there for a moment before kneeling down to her height and hugging her back. The fact that I did that was surprising as well. I'm not usually the touchy feely type. I was the first to let go. That damn kid is going to kill me.

"Nick!" I heard Sarah call for me and I immediately knew this was going to be bad. I walked up to her room and there was glitter... everywhere. They were pink, blue, and purple. Sarah and Clem were laughing. I was going to yell at them, before I realized the amount of glitter in their hair. Clem entwined her fingers to the hair close to her scalp and rubbed hard in an attempt to get the sparkly mess out.

My eyes dashed to Sarah, "What did you do?"

She was laughing hard, "Clementine took her hat off and I filled it with glitter!"

"Five seconds!" Clementine complained in an amused manner, "You better hope it comes out of my hat!"

"It will," Sarah nodded, "I've done it to Nick before." I groaned. It was true.

Clem chuckled, "That's what we called you up here for! I need help getting in off my hat."

I sighed, "C'mon," I lead her to the kitchen and I put her beloved hat in the sink. I don't know how, but the water still works. In the bathroom too. I ran the water, "Just keep it in here for awhile."

"Alright," She nodded.

I turned and frowned, "You got it all over you!"

"You have some too!" She pointed out. I took my hat of and ran a hand through my hair. I set my own hat on the counter and practically dragged Clem to the front room. I used a wet rag to get the glitter out. Once I was done, she only seemed half as sparkly as before. I smiled, satisfied at my work. Clem looked at me, puzzled. I gave her an odd look of my own.

"What?" I asked.

SHe shrugged, "I've never seen you without your hat before."

"It's just hair." I said

"Your hair is longer then mine," She observed. She stuck a hand out, "I wanna touch it."

I moved her hand away from me. I was about to say something when Sarah eves-dropped on the conversation, "CAN WE BRAID IT?!"

"No," I don't want my hair braided. I walked back into the kitchen and kept my eyes on those two while I put my hat back on. I immediately regretted the decision when I felt a sand like substance pour down my back. God dammit Sarah. She's crazy if she thinks I'm going to clean this up.

After I made Sarah get rid of the horrid glitter, she passed out. She must've been tried from running around all day. Clem's AND my own hat's were soaking in the sink and We were sitting on the couch. Sarah was asleep not far and her glasses were on the table. Clem had her pajamas on and she looked over at me.

"Nick?" She asked, a but shyly. I looked at her.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think things will ever be the same as they were before?"

My mouth opened slightly when she asked. Honestly, No. I don't. But I don't want to ruin the kids hope of things getting better. I hesitated before asking, "Do you?"

She sadly shook her head, "No. Not the same. Maybe there is a civilized place though. Like, somewhere that has the walkers under control," She though about this before frowning, "Then again, maybe not."

There was a brief pause before She changed topics.

"Two years ago, I had to shoot someone very special to me."

I swear my heart dropped. Why is she telling me all this? I just sat there, like an idiot. I but my bottom lip and my eyes widened. She's eleven now, two years ago she would've been nine. She had to kill someone when she was nine. God damn.

"I've been there to kid," I could relate. Had to kill my mom not long ago.

She nodded before she crawled over to me. I allowed her to sit in my lap and I offered her comfort. Is she always this depressing when she's tired?

"Nick?" She asked again, maybe a bit more shy.

"Hmmm?" I urged her to continue.

"I'm sorry I stole from everybody."

"I'm sorry we locked you in a shed."

She muttered, "It's alright," Before drifting off to sleep in my arms. I simply smiled at her.

"Hey Nick," I heard the door open and Luke enter. He smiled at the sight of Clem in my arms and Sarah asleep on the chair.

"Yeah?" I whispered, carful not to wake either of them up.

"Just wanted to see how things were going." HE smiled and he lowered his own voice and took a spot next to me, "We seem to be good for now. As far as Carver goes."

"Good," I breathed.

Luke looked at Clem and smiled. He turned his gaze to me, "Wasn't as bad as you thought, huh?"

"Nope," I smiled, "They're entertaining at least."

Luke chuckled, thanks for watching them, it means a lot to me."

"Aww c'mon, none of this mushy gushy shit!"

"I mean it Nick! I don't know what I would do without you!"

I heard a squeal and I turned to look at Sarah. She very lightly whispered, "It's Nuke."

Luke gave a confused look before telling her, "You should get up to bed before your dad catches you out here." She agreed and sprinted upstairs. Luke looked back at me, "I mean it though Nick, I don't know how I could've gotten through this apocalypse without you. I smiled at him. A silence loomed over us and I muttered a quick thanks.

"I don't know what I would've done without you either," I informed him and played with one of clems curls. Another silence took place.

"Is that glitter in your hair?" Luke asked me after a pause.

I smiled, "Shut up!"
