Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This

Chapter 106

Author's Note: So at some point I should be worried about catching up with the show huh? But since I've got lots planned before that and in between the months after Woodbury and the whole Governor is back thing, I'm not going to worry about it. Plus I've decided they are going to the safe zone one way or another cause I just need them there. Anyway reviews make me happy!

Lexi and Carl's POV:

Lexi walked to Carl's cell with food. "You didn't come for dinner, so I brought it to you," she said as she held out the plate to him.

"Not hungry," Carl told the teen.

"Don't care, you got to eat. Come on, Carl. You know I won't leave til you eat, and I'll just talk endlessly about anything and everything that comes to my head," Lexi teased him. "Come on," she said again as she pressed the plate out again.

Carl took it and sighed. "Thanks," he said as he took the fork. "Ty went with them?"

"Just cause he was worried about the people left behind. Ty's not a big one to fight," Lexi said. "He care's to much but he does it for the people who he cares about."

Carl looked up at her. "You think I was wrong? For shooting that soldier?"

Lexi looked at him. "Aint my place to say what's wrong or right Carl. I don't know what I would have done in the same situation. I wasn't standing there with the gun. It don't matter what other people think, what matters is can you live with it? That's what matters, Carl. Cause if you can't, then you lose who you are. And I like Carl Grimes," she said as she playfully hit his shoulder with her arm.

Carl rolled his eyes. "Just that Summer and I never disagreed bout anything before. Thought we were doing good at this whole step sister and brother thing."

"So you think because you guys don't agree, means you aren't doing good?" Lexi asked.

"Yeah, siblings should get along," Carl said.

"Well darn it, I've been doing it wrong since I was able to talk," Lexi answered. "I mean the world would stop if a week went by that Sasha, Ty and I agreed on anything. And, have you met the Dixon's? I mean Jewel is married to your dad, and from what I've seen, Merle doesn't play well with others. Siblings fight, siblings disagree. It's expected, hell I think parents expect it. I think Rick and Jewel have been waiting for the sibling rivalry. But when the day ends, both of you would kill for each other, would kill for Judy, would kill for anyone here. That's what matters Carl," Lexi told him.

"So should I apologize?" Carl asked.

"Only if you think you're wrong," Lexi informed him. "The sibling rule book clearly states that you only apologize if you think you are wrong."

"There's no such thing as a sibling rule book," Carl told her.

"Oh really and how would you know? I'm the one with the sibling experience," Lexi said.

Carl shook his head and rolled his eyes. "So since you're the expert, what does this rule book say about how long we'll be angry with each other?"

"There's no time limit for things. May be a minute, may be a week. Sasha was mad at Ty for a whole month when he scared the boy she took to the prom," Lexi told him. "I mean it's the whole end of the world, and I know Summer cares about you, so you have that going in your favor. And she's a girl, so you'll KNOW if she's angry with you. Us teenage girls can hold grudges."

"And Ty has two of you?" Carl asked.

"So do you," Lexi pointed out with a grin.

"Great, thanks for reminding me," Carl said as he rolled his eyes.

"You'll have pretty good experience by the time Judy gets this age," Lexi informed him.

"Anyone ever tell you that you're little Miss Sunshine?" Carl asked.

"Yeah, Ty all the time," Lexi said as she grinned.

Woodbury:

Rick motioned to the door. "This is where the Governor had Glenn and Maggie when he held them."

"The Governor held people down here?" Tyreese asked.

Jewel looked at the blood from coming under the door. "Open the door," she instructed Daryl and Tyreese.

Daryl nodded as he pushed the door open. The group went in and saw Andrea on the floor by the door. Michonne and Jewel bent down on either side of her.

"You're burning up," Jewel said as she looked at Rick.

Andrea pushed down the collar of her coat to reveal a bite. "I tried to stop them. Carl, Judith, Summer the rest of them?"

"Us the rest of us," Rick said.

"Are they alive?" Andrea asked.

"Yeah, they're alive," Rick assured her. "With a little help from Michonne, Jes, even Merle," he confessed her.

"He cared you know? Always did," Andrea said.

"Yeah I know," Jewel said.

"It's good you found them, you know, you can't make it alone," Andrea told Daryl.

"Never could," Daryl told her.

"Jewel I'm sorry, I…" Andrea started to say.

Jewel shared a glance with Michonne. "Hey, none of that alright? It's all forgiven Andrea. You are part of us, always have been, always will be," she said as she wiped her eyes.

"I just didn't want anyone else to die," Andrea said. She nodded at the Python in Rick's hand. "I can do it."

"You don't have to, Andrea," Michonne told her.

"She's right," Rick agreed with the woman.

"No I have to, while I still can," Andrea begged. "Please? I know how the safety works."

Rick handed her his gun.

"I'm not going anywhere," Michonne told her as Andrea took it.

"I tried," Andrea told Rick.

"Yeah, you did," Rick said as he got up.

Jewel squeezed Andrea's shoulder and kissed the top of her head. "You are my sister, Andrea. I love you," she said as she got up and went out the door with Rick, Ty, Joey and Daryl behind her.

Jewel buried her head in Rick's shirt and braced herself for the gun shot. She still jumped as it came and felt Rick's arm tighten around her.

"We're taking her body," Daryl said as Michonne came out the door.

Rick nodded. "No arguments," he said as he still held onto Jewel.

"We have a morgue…had a morgue," Joey said. "Might still have stuff to wrap the body with."

"I'll go with him," Michonne said.

Merle and Jes came around the corner. "I hope you guys are ready for a lot more people at the prison. We can't leave them," Jes said.

"Always got room for more," Jewel said.

Merle looked at Daryl. "Andrea…she was bit…." Daryl explained.

Merle nodded. "We takin' her body back?"

"Yes," Jewel answered as she kept her head buried in Rick's shoulder.

Author's Note: And that ends Season 3. We got chapter's before season 4. You didn't expect anything less did you? I figured maybe five or six months between the Governor's leaving and season 4 opening. At least that is what I need it to be!
