A/N: Please remember these are just my thoughts, also if you chose Kenny the story line WILL differ from if you chose Jane, only the slightest though kind of like how TellTale does. Also I will put which person you would have to choose at the top of the chapter with the episode number. Enjoy, OH! ONE LAST THING! In my perfect season 3 you can choose out of a selection of characters who you want to play as, I'm going to continue with traditional Clementine though but in a third person way sometimes so I can mention what all the characters are thinking. Just saying the options are a bit of a spoiler so yeah, (Options) Lily, Kenny, Luke, AJ, Clementine, Lee(Grayed out, just wanted to mention him.) and Yeah, ON WITH THE STORY
"I'm freezing Kenny." Clementine said quietly whilst rubbing her arms for warmth.
"Should'a stayed at Wellington." Kenny muttered to himself as the flares and flickers illuminated the man's face along with the toddler's that he was holding.
"No. It would've been worse."
"Huh?" Kenny asked squinting at the girl as he looked up at her.
"You're all I have left. And you wanted me to just, give up my only family member so that I could live in 'LUXURY'?!" She asked angrily.
"Clemmy!" AJ blurted making her smile and wave at him even though she was still freezing. A small smile appeared on Kenny's face after hearing what Clementine had said prior.
"I should go look for more supplies before it gets completely dark." Kenny said standing up from a kneeling position.
"Just keep the fire lit, and shout if ya need anything." Kenny explained as he walked into the darkened forest around them. What the hell is he doing? He could die out there, or put AJ in danger! Clementine thought to herself as she rubbed her arms again feeling the crisp dry wind hit against her fingertips the only part of her hands sticking out from her sleeves. Clementine waited a few minutes. Then a few more. Then a few more. Where is Kenny? He should be back by now! Clementine thought as she stood up from the log she was sitting on and headed towards the direction Kenny had gone. She pushed and shuffled through the rough scratchy brush until she made it to a dirt path.
"Kenny, what the hell are you-" Clementine stopped dead in her tracks as her eyes widened. Kenny was talking to, of all people...
"LUKE?!" She shouted running towards them.
"Clem?" Luke asked casually as the girl thrusted a hug at him, her nails digging into his back.
"Urg, Whoa kid, Strong hug." He said pulling away from her his arms wrapped around her still hers still wrapped around him too.
"I missed you so much. I- I mean, where have you- How did you? I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" Clementine stuttered trying to form a sentence. Luke chuckled and smiled warmly at the girl who was still hugging him.
"I've gotta group that'ta way if you guys wanna head back with me." Luke says a half smile that was slightly crooked appearing on his face but soon draining as another thought comes to mind. "Unless... you... already... have a group." Luke says softly having trouble pushing out each word.
"No" "Yes!" Clementine and Kenny blurt at the same time. Luke gives them a confused look as does Clementine to Kenny. The bearded man pulls Clementine over to the side.
"One second, Luke." Clementine explains as she walks to left with Kenny.
"Kenny what the hell are you doing?! Do you know how many nightmares I've had because I thought I had killed him?!" Clementine harshly whispers. Luke raises his eyebrows at this, eyes open wide while holding his arms crossed. She had nightmares? Because of... him?
"Clem, listen. Yes I do know, You freaking talked about him and the nightmares every goddamned morning! But we don't wanna get mixed up with him again." Kenny protested.
"Lukie!" AJ says softly giving puppy eyes to Kenny unintentionally.
"See? Even AJ wants to go!" Clementine said her arms crossed. "And Yes. For the record, I DO want to get mixed up with him again." She says beginning to walk away but soon being stopped by a hand on her shoulder.
"Listen, I'll- Gah! Fine. Okay? We'll stay the night. But we leave at first light." Kenny says gripping the child's shoulder tightly.
"Kenny!" Clementine shouts turning back to him, tears well up in her eyes. "You know I love you and you're like a father to me but I just can't... I'm staying Kenny. And that's final." She said breaking out of Kenny's grasp and walking back to Luke who's now smirking, shakes his head at the girl happily a look saying 'You ARE something.' spread across his face.
As the four arrive at the camp Luke calls out for all the members to come over where him and the other three are standing.
"Okay so I should prolly explain why I brought more people." Luke says a crooked smile on his face that was half smiling half frowning.
"Yeah, you should! We don't got enough food for the people we HAVE EVEN!" A dark ginger haired boy shouts, his eyebrows furrowed and arms crossed. I already don't like this guy. Clementine thinks as she glares at the red haired boy.
"I know 'em from a previous group I was in. Ya know? Before you found me shivering by a dimly light fire?"
"LUKE! I'm thinking at first light you and me go scavenging." A familiar voice shouts from the woods. Clementine recognizes the voice instantly as does Kenny. Clementine sweetly pushes Luke to the side.
"LILY?" She calls out.
"Clementine?!" The long brown haired girl asks as she approaches the rest of her group.
"Oh, fuck me." Kenny said shaking his head 'no'.
"You know her?" Luke asks smiling sheepishly while referring to Lily. Clementine nods.
"Fuck this Clem we gotta get outta here."
"Kenny! I know Lily did some bad stuff but she was really nice too! If you two hadn't of been arguing all the time you would've known that!" Clementine snaps at the grey haired man behind her.
"Clementine she fucking killed (Insert Carley/Doug's name here)!" Luke's eyes widen.
"YES! BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT." Clementine leaves an intense pause. "Her suspicion was correct! Lee told me so! Ben was the guy who was dealing with the bandits and all that. You were there when he admitted it!" She shouts her soft gentle amber eyes suddenly harsh and sharp as she glares at Kenny.
"It was?" Lily asks suddenly delighted.
"BUT SHE KILLED THE WRONG GODDAMNED PERSON OVER IT CLEM!" Kenny protested.
"Because YOU pushed her to her final line!" Clementine shouted back. Luke clears his throat causing everyone to look over to him, his stance impatient and his arms crossed.
"Are ya done?" he asked irritated.
"Yeah, yeah. Sorry Luke." Clementine said sweetly as she pulled out puppy eyes.
"No need for a guilt trip kid, it's fine." He replies smiling at her."So. This hear is Otis, but we all call 'im Ot's." Luke says gesturing towards the man that Clementine didn't like at all. For a few seconds there was a glaring battle going on between Clem and Otis. Luke cleared his throat again breaking the glaring contest between Otis and Clem.
"This is as you guys already seem to know, Lily. She's like a sister to me." Luke says smiling. "That there is Jack," Luke says leaning out of the crowd to point to a light haired olive skinned blonde boy who smiled and waved. Clementine returned the gesture but then went back to looking towards Luke.
"And that's Dakota." Luke continued as he pointed to a man who seemed to be the same age as him and almost identical in height. Dakota wore a red t-shirt with the words and a picture saying 'The Chasers' on it in orange. Nick used to have a shirt like that... Clementine thought as she slowly remembered Nick and how much she actually missed him even if he did try to shoot her head off when they first met. He wouldn't've been successful anyways though due to his shitty aim.
"Luke," Kenny started breaking Clementine away from her thoughts and back to reality. "If we stay with you guys you better not screw up nearly as bad as before." Kenny said handing AJ down to Clementine. Luke frowned remembering the observation deck. He looked up from his shoes back at Kenny and managed to hatch a smile on his face.
"Well, you ain't gotta worry 'bout that 'cause there aren't any girls around here that I feel like that about." He says smiling a smile that you could tell was forced.
"Luke...?" Lily asked and amused expression on her face.
"Y- Yeah...?" he asked nervously as he turned back to Lily.
"What did you do?" Lily asked grinning from ear to ear. Clementine watched Luke waiting for him to explain it all as he sighed and put a hand on his forehead rubbing his temples as he stared down at the hard ground beneath them.
"It was the most human he'd felt in a long time, he almost forgot what- CLEMENTINE!" Clementine said laughing hard causing Luke to blush like crazy. "If you wanted a direct quote anyways." Clementine repeated causing Luke to blush even harder.
"Wait... You?"
"Yes!" Luke blurted out not wanting her to continue.
"Well how do I know I can trust you on watch now?" Lily teased.
"Oh, you can't. He was on watch when he did that." Kenny butted in as he took AJ back from Clementine.
"GUYS, I'VE CHANGED!" Luke says looking up at them.
"What, got more urges then before?" Kenny joked making Luke blush again.
"No! Kenny just... LAY OFF!" Luke said struggling to get a simple sentence out.
