The sun sets as quickly as it rises. That night at dinner Mickey could've pretended that she wasn't stuck in a zombie apocalypse. That she wasn't alone in the world. The soft tawny glow of the campfire entranced her, made her feel relaxed. I've never been camping before she thought with a small smirk. She was too lost in thought to pay attention to where she was going and bumped into the back of a young blonde.
'Oh man, sorry there.' The blonde turned to her with a kind smile.
'Dont worry about it..your Mickey right? I'm Amy' They shook hands and Mickey had to fight to keep from laughing. Even when the whole world's gone to hell, people (at least some) had class.
'Amy! come on and get ur plate!' An older blonde woman called from across the fire pit. 'Thats my sister, Andrea' Amy said, 'Well I better go, it was nice to meet you'. Mickey nodded and went to take a seat on a lone log. A good distance away from everyone else, but still close enough to feel the warmth of the flames. She took one look at the plate of beans that was handed to her and dug in. She couldn't remember the last time she ate.
Looking around at the group of people around her, she was happy to to see most of the people she already met. Dale and Glenn quietly talking, with Andrea and Amy on the other side of Dale..she wondered where Daryl was. Carol and a brown haired woman were right across from her, with two children in front of them looking dejectedly at their beans. Mickey had an idea.
She pulled out the can of spaghettios from her drawstring and dusted the top off. Peeking into her bag she realized she forgot to bring a can opener with her. She randomly selected a knife from her belt and took the top of..before realizing it was a pull up tab. She walked over to where Carol was sitting.
'Hi Carol' She smiled at her softly. Mickey pulled the can from behind her back. The kids faces lighting up instantly.
'Would you guys like some? I don't think I can eat all of it by ma'self'.
'Can we mom?' the little boy asked. His mom gave him the okay and they both stuck there plates out.
'What do you guys say?' she scolded.
'Thank you ! umm...' 'Mickey' she said with a smile. The boy glanced up from his plate. 'Im Carl'
'Hey Carl' she looked over at the little girl 'You must be Sophia' She nodded and gave her a small smile. Mickey looked up at Carol and the lanky Brown haired woman. 'Thank you so much' she said and,ironically, stuck her hand out.
'Im Lori'
' 's nice to meet you'
Daryl Dixon was actually sitting right behind Mickey, and had watched the whole thing. Merle grunted from beside him.
' That was a stupid move' 'Not as stupid as you' Merle scowled at Daryl and continued eating.
