Just a walk is what Ellie wanted to do with Joel. It wasn't the most exciting thing that they have done together but it was a pretty day outside and walking helped clear their mind. Ellie needed a walk more than anything right now with all the stuff that has happened yesterday and today.

" You know me and Sarah used to take walks like this." Joel starts up a conversation. There were times that Joel would bring Sarah up and Ellie would be there to listen and be his shoulder to cry on.

"What would you two talk about?" Ellie was listening as she felt the cool breeze brush against her face.

"Movies, boys, school, travel and a whole lot of other things." Joel said. "So Ellie." He decides to drift the conversation away from Sarah as he felt his voice wanting to wobble. " Is there a place that you've always wanted to go too?"

"Well I always wanted to go to the beach. All the sand, pretty waters and creatures. I daydream about the beach quite frequently." Ellie could feel her emotions of the beach rising up from within her. She begins to smile.

"Well Ellie I have been to the beach before." Joel couldn't wait to tell her the story.

"No way!" Ellie gasps with her eyes twinkling at Joel. "You have to tell me what happened!"

"Tommy and I went to a beach in California when we were teenagers. The tides there were big, the sand was moist, there would be creatures like the crab and starfish coming up from the waters. I remember when I tried to grab one and it pinched the living hell out of me." Joel could feel the waves of emotions coming upon him remembering the good times.

Ellie chuckles. "Did y'all ever surf?"

"Did we ever surf?" Joel was surprised that she asked that question. "That was the best thing of our trip! Although Tommy was a better surfer than me. I would fall down countless of times. One time while we were surfing we ran into a dolphin."

"That's pretty cool" Ellie nods. "What else did you guys do as teenagers?"

Joel then went into details about his hobbies, the girls he dated, how high school was like, his parents. Ellie was glad that Joel was telling her his stories, but she begins to get upset about how she will never experience what her old man did.

"Too bad that I won't ever get to experience things like that." Ellie seemed bummed out. She sits by an wooden bench nearby the ranch.

Joel joins her and notices the expression on her face. "I know you wish things were different, Ellie, I wish things were different"

"At least I have a good life here living in Jackson" Ellie didn't feel too bad about not experiencing things that teenagers before did. She made friends, she watched movies, she learned how to play guitar and other stuff that she did.

Joel and Ellie relaxes on the wooden bench watching the clouds go by peacefully.

"You know this isn't half bad" Ellie replies enjoying the cool breeze on her skin. "Maybe we could go to that bar and play Darts before I have to go."

Joel nods. "Yeah kiddo you only have a few more hours until it's time for you to go."

The two went to the bar and they played Darts together to pass up the time. Joel was quite surprised that Ellie was getting better in Darts.

"I see you have a trick or two up your sleeve" Joel comments on her skills.

"Yeah you weren't expecting that." Ellie throws a dart that almost hit the middle of the target. She ends up passing Joel's score.

"And you weren't expecting this either" Joel hits a perfect shot in the middle of the target and passed up Ellie's score. He cheers.

"You got lucky." Ellie crosses her arms not wanting to admit her defeat.

There was a sudden horn that was blowing across town to let people know that it was time to patrol.

"Well there's my que" Ellie sighs, rolling her eyes a bit. She knew that she had to suck it up and try to deal with Jesse. Ellie begins to head towards the front gate and Joel follows behind her.

"Now Ellie do you remember your routes that you need to take?" Joel begins to get nervous about her patrolling again.

"Yes I do"

"You have your logbook with you?" He proceeds to ask her.

"Done and done"

"What about-" Joel was going to ask her even more questions but Ellie stopped him.

"Joel I'm going to be fine. I will come back, I did this before remember." Ellie reassures Joel.

Joel gives a slight smile. "You're right"

Ellie waves at Joel as she approaches the gate with the other people that are suppose to patrol. Joel stood there with his arms crossed and watched.

Ellie carefully climbs on the brown horse, she was a bit anxious herself but she tried to shake it off. Dina was also on her horse and she approaches Ellie on the right side of the horse and gives off a warm, vibrant smile. Ellie smiles back at Dina. One of the guys that were patrolling gave them hunting rifles and a pistol. Ellie was making sure that everything was reloaded and ready to go. Jesse was also on his horse, but he comes in between Ellie and Dina. Ellie knew by Jesse behavior that he was still mad at her and maybe even jealous. Ellie looks at their leader getting ready to speak.

"Alright you all know the drill, run your routes, log your logbooks, if you run anything you can't handle you come back." The leader told them in a firm voice.

There wasn't much to say at that point. The gates began to open and one by one the patrollers heads out the gate.

"Stay safe kiddo." Joel whispers to himself watching as Ellie leaves.
