Dawn rose over over the wasteland that used to be dimmsdale, what was once forrest & prairy was now desert, scraps of metal littered the landscape and water was scarce, a young man with a dusty pink hat and shreaded torn clothes walked out from a cave he had found near the top of what used to be the green peak of mt dimmsdale but was now just a brown & grey pillar covered in twigs & sticks.

Remembering back to his 18th birthday he recolected the horrors that had caused this destruction, an angry overly muscular man with wings, a small man with a monocle and fangs, and a frightening laugh as a huge explosion went off, after that things got blury.

He decided not to think about it as it only made his head hurt, like it was being blocked in his mind, so he went about his daily routine, he gathered the filtered rainwater & what food he had collected from various abandoned sheters and homes and began to eat his morning meal.

Afterwards he went down into the destroyed ruins once again hoping to find another living soul in this god forsaken wasteland as well as looking for food and most importantly water, suddenly he heard a noise it was a shriek, a cry for help so he went to investigate, doing his best to remain hidden.

He looked down and saw a woman under attack from bandits her shrieks came because they were tearing at her clothes since they had already taken everything else she had, she looked vaguely familiar with her black hair, rusted braces and broken bejewled glasses but he decided to ignore that and help her.

He took out a flare gun that he had found in an army surplus store and fired it into the air distracting them as they went to investigate, he then swiftly traveled through the buildings until he saw her tied up with only a couple men guarding her, he drew them into an alleyway with the toss of a stone and knocked them out cold.

She seemed to recognise im too but it didn't matter much now he just picked her up, threw her over his shoulder and began running making sure to cover his tracks, and climbed back up the mountain.

He untied her and offered her a seat waiting to hear what had happened, "thanks" she said in a rush"

"erm no problem... but I thought this place was abandoned save for a few unfriendly raid parties so what were you doing down there" he asked

"well believe it or not I heard rumors of a phantom with a pink hat who lived among these ruins and wondered if it was this guy I used to know... before all this happened" she explained

"you know I have been wondering about that, my memory is kinda foggy what did happen?" he questioned

"you want the short version of it? The end happened. there was a war, a horrible horrible war nobody knows really who fired what but one thing was for certain, it ended quickly and ever since this place has been a wasteland" she explained

"so that's what happened..." "well it's good to find another person who isn't out to kill me" he said with a sarcastic tone

"tell me are you Timmothy Turner?" she inquired.

His face had a far off look to it "I haven't heard that name in years miss" he answered "might I ask how you know it?"

"simply put we... well we used to be very close friends, some would say more than that, but well then all this happened and well 6 years can really change a person"

" you know I thought you looked familiar... but I couldn't quite place it, would you happen to be Tootie would you?"

"it is you Timmy! I knew it was you but well you know in this place hallucinations take their toll... so what have you been doing all this time?"

"mostly surviving I guess, those times I spent in the squirly scouts really helped me prepare though I never knew that I would need it... guess I'm lucky I got my survivalist badge huh?"

she smiled gently at him both of them staring at eachother for a while as the sun got to mid day glad to be out of the heat.

"so how did you escape the raids and such?"

"actually I used the same tactics I used to use to hide from that grey kid francis long ago though I have been living in this hidden cave now only going out at night or when I think it's safe."

"Timmy we have to get you out of here, some survivors and I have built a town about 90 miles to the south east and you would be safe there, there is food, water, and no shortage of people and-"

he stopped her with a raise of his hand

"I'm sorry Tootie but I can't go with you it's been hard but it's a peaceful life up here away from all the chaos that used to be our lives long ago"

she looked at him

"tell me one thing then Timmy, don't you miss human contact? Or being safe from those guys down there? Or even warm home cooked meals?"

"look I just don't know if I can go with you I mean I may not have anything here but then again I'm also free, besides I don't even know what life is like in this town of yours..."

"it's something AJ and chester worked out as co leaders, Aj used what litte technology he could scrounge up to make life bearable and chester lead everyone in surviving in the harsh beginnings but soon a town began to grow, there are 500 or so of us, we have basic necesities like plumbing, heat, food, clean water, and we even have our own homes in a kind of appartment complex"

"it sounds nice tootie it really does... wait did you say chester & aj? They survived? The guys survived!" he was very excited at this news and so he decided he would go with her, not to stay but to see his old friends.

He packed enough food to last them the journey, as well as plenty of water & some weapons should they encounter any unfriendly groups, then they waited until nightfall and began their trek towards the town tootie had told him was called dustyvale.

It was a long ardous journey but Timmy continued on and this drove Tootie to follow him onward until finally after over a month they reached what appeard to be a tall mesa which Tootie began to climb until she reached it's peak, he followed her at a distance unsure of what they would find.

What they did find however surprised him, the last part of the climb was a short distance up a sheer cliff with footholds when he got near the top a pair of hands reached out and grabbed his arm hoisting him up with 2 men, one affrican american and bald the other white and with dirty blond hair both smiling at him, Timmy recognised them right away. "Chester? Aj? Is it really you guys?" "Timmy it had been a while hasn't it old friend" AJ said with a calm and wise tone

"here let me show you around Timmy." said chester as they walked around chester pointed out the various facilities and such as well as their crop storage and then they both walked into what chester called a saloon

"can I offer you a drink Timmy?" "sure, got any clean water?" chester climbed behind the counter and poored himself and Timmy Each a glass of the cleanest water Timmy had ever seen

"this is amazing? I haven't seen water this clean in a very long time!" "yes well AJ created some kind of super filter that cleans out our water supply pretty nicely, the original source is an underground lake beneath the mesa"

Timmy smiled as he drank the water and thanked Chester then they walked over to the mayor's office and Aj was waiting there with tootie Aj spoke first "so Timmy how long do you plan on staying?"

Timmy was silent for a moment in thought then he spoke "well it seems you guys could use an extra hand around town here so maybe I will stay for a little while longer."

"glad to hear it Timmy we don't have an apartment open atm but I'm sure we can find you suitable accomodations for the time beeing"

"you guys don't have to do that-" Aj stopped him "no I won't hear it any other way, tootie says you have been living in a cave and that just won't do"

Tootie spoke up "you know he could stay at my place for a while, I have an exra bed he can borrow"

Aj looked at her deep in thought " allright it's settled then timmy you can stay with her for the time being while I look into finding you a proper living area"

they sat in the office a while and talked about old times and about what had happened until the sun set then timmy walked back with tootie to her apartment and after eating a delicious meal was lead to the now prepared bed where he slept, the moon slowly rising in the sky as night crept onwards
