The train was back and on the tracks again. Duck and Katjaa's death had hit everyone pretty hard. Especially Kenny, he kept on at the front of the train. He just wanted to keep his mind on Savannah and the boat. God, if he could get on the water again, he would feel so much better. Kenny occasionally looked like he was going to tear up, but he couldn't let Lily see. He couldn't let her see his weakness. Kenny fought to be the leader and take back the title the minute they got to Savannah. Besides Lee, Kenny really didn't care for the people he was with on the train. He took of his cap and rubbed the top of his head, Kenny was deep in thought as to what he might do once he got to Savannah. The possibilities were endless, buy there was only one thing that Kenny wanted to do. Find a boat.

Lily and Chuck were still at the front of the train in a long deep conversation."And that's how no one could take me seriously."

Chuck still unbroken after listening to Lily's story, he looked uninterested in what she had to say.

"Chuck. Do you think there's something wrong with me." Lily felt offended that Chuck said nothing. He was not as open as she was and that made her worried.

"Yes, but there's something wrong with everyone know a days." Lily realized her mistake and apologized in her own fashion.

"So your thing is obviously being a mute." Chuck and Lily broke into laughter.

This was the first time Chuck showed any sense of emotion. Lily thought she had finally broken him. She didn't know Chuck that well, but sensed a great friendship between them. The only thing that he needed to do now, was offer her a drink.

"You want a drink? I almost forgot I had this." Perfect, maybe once they got to Savannah, Chuck and her could break away from the group.

Carley was left in tears. She couldn't handle the unbearable amount of pressure. Katjaa was dead, this was determinant, but all the advice she gave Carley made it seem like there was some sort of hope. Clementine and Lee were sitting in the opposite corner, but they knew that Carley needed to have some time to herself. Lee knew that the responsibility over Clementine was an important thing and it could ultimately drive her mad. But surely not Carley, she was a strong and intelligent person who wouldn't sit there and cry. However, there she was and Lee was watching.

Clementine made her way over to Calrey and Lee followed. "Carley, how you feeling?"

"I'm fine Lee. I promise… This doesn't change anything between us." Clementine knew what was going on, it made her smile to see the evolution of this relationship over the past few months.

"Do you think it's time we told Clem?"

"She already knows Lee. She's not stupid." Carley smiled, wiped her tears away and Lee chuckled.

They knew that things were instantly starting to look up even after Duck's death. Clementine was very happy to see Lee happy because they were a team, but something about this didn't sit well with Clementine. Perhaps it was what Chuck had told her earlier on when they spoke, perhaps she was still grieving over Duck. Clementine continued to sit outside of the train she didn't want to be sad and ruin the mood, but she just couldn't get over this depression.

Lee came and sat next to her "You want to talk?"

"Uh..Uh.." Clem said as she shook her head.

"You understand what happened?" Lee needed to make sure that Clementine knew that Duck's death was the only way. "Yes, Carley's explanation really helped make things better"

"Is that right?" Lee knew what Carley was capable off, after all this was the woman he fell in love with.

"Ok" Lee needed to know what made Clem so upset, if not Duck, it couldn't just be himself having all the fun with Carley.

"What are you thinking about?"

"What Chuck said." Lee needed to know what lessons were being imparted on her without his supervision.

"What'd Chuck say?"

"That would happened to Duck would happen to me." Lee was furious

"What? The fuck he did."

"Swear" Clementine showed her ability to remain calm and level headed throughout everything, there was no one on that train who could do that besides Chuck.

"Sorry, I'm gonna go talk some sense into him." Lee stood up and was ready to put his legendary fists or words to action.

"Don't be mad" Clementine said. Carley was shocked by Clementine's attitude, she knew if someone told her she was going to die at that age, she would be losing it.

Before Lee went to speak to Chuck, Carley grabbed Lee's hand and pulled him into a hug. Carley appreciated Lee's comfort, as he was the one who put this heavy burden on her. She couldn't stop thinking about what Katjaa had said to her, even when she looked into Clementine's eyes.

"Just be careful. He could be dangerous." Lee still angry replied.

"Oh he doesn't know dangerous yet."

"But he may have some good points… I don't know… I think Clementine needs to learn to shoot."

"We'll see about that… Let me just see what the fuck this guys problem is." Lee stormed to the front of the train, but Lily had moved into the driver's car. For once Lee observed a difference within Kenny and Lily's behaviour. It was peaceful and quiet. But, most importantly quiet.

Meanwhile, Carley and Clementine sat in the car behind, legs dangling just above the train tracks. Over this last day and a half, Clementine felt closer than ever to Carley. Maybe Carley could answer a question that's been burning in the back of Clem's mind.

"Carley? Do you think my parents are alive in Savannah?" Carley was in total awe, she had no idea that Clementine had hoped to find her parents in Savannah.

"Clem…I don't know. But, right now, you need to learn about independence and you need to learn how to take care of yourself. I'm sure Lee is going to be here any minute and I'll talk to him. You need to be safe with or without your parents."

It was at this moment that Clementine realised what Chuck was trying to say, whether she met her parents or not. She needed to be alive with them when she found them.

"Yeah! Ok! I'm ready to learn." Carley smiled

"Good. I'll go tell Lee." Carley went to exit the car and find Lee, but the knocked heads and laughed about the small collision. Clementine remembered back to when her parents used to bump into each other. She wondered if there was really any point to finding her parents because she had two great ones in Carley and Lee. They contained their laughter and got down to business.

"Clementine needs to learn how to shoot." Carley said. "I know you don't agree, but…"

"No, it's important. I understand what Chuck meant."

"Clementine we've got some work to do sweat pea." Clementine was excited to change, to fit into this new family. Just Clementine, Carley and Lee.

"Well let's cut her hair first." Lee said.

"Wait why? I love Clementine's hair, it makes her so cute." Clementine smiled, she never needed to be proud of herself until now.

"Thank you Carley."

"It's so that she won't get grabbed. Clem, remember when Andy pulled your hair back at the dairy? Next time it could be a walker…"

"Or someone else as dangerous." Clementine understood what needed to be done.

"So Clem. Please can I cut your hair?"

"Can Carley cut my hair?" Clementine trusted Lee, but not enough to let him handle her fashion choices. "Sure, I'll do it."

"Thanks Carley." Clementine sat back and Carley got to work. "Do I look stupid Lee?"

"No, you look cute." Clementine felt more at ease with Carley on the scissors.

"I need to tie my hair up" Clem reached into her back pocket "Lily gave me these hair thingies."

Carley had forgotten about Lily at that point, to be honest none of the newly formed members of the "Everett family" knew where she was.

Clementine was now rocking pigtails something that Carley could never have seen herself doing. "Good. You look cleaned up."

"Let's just get on to the shooting." Lee pulled out his gun and Clementine looked scared.

"First, don't be afraid of it. It's just a thing. Take it. But know where your finger is all the time. And don't put it on the trigger unless you want to hurt somebody." Lee cocked the gun and handed it to Clementine safely.

Carley was proud of Clementine "Okay. Okay." Clem said.

Lee stepped back "See, its not scary."

"It's heavy" Clementine found it hard to keep the gun above her waist.

"You'll get stronger… Look at Carley, her arms are skinny, but she can hold a gun like there's no issues."

"I thought I told you not to call me small." Carley winked at Lee. "To aim, you look right down the top, through that notch. Line up the site at the end with your target."

Clementine turned around to face an empty bottle on top of a couple of boxes. "Carley, I don't have your dead eye accuracy, care to give any tips?"

"I know they're just bottles for now, but aim for the head." Clementine knew that this was the procedure for a walker. "What do I do if it isn't a walker"

Lee was quick to answered "Then, head or body, depends on the situation." Carley glared at Lee, he knew what he said was wrong, but she just had to accept it and move on.

Carley couldn't educate Clementine on each and every situation, when it was or when it wasn't right to kill someone. She just hoped that she and Lee could parent Clementine and make sure she's the best person she could be.

"I don't want to think about that right now." Lee shook his head "You're right. It might be a lot for your first day. You ready?"

"Yeah I'm ready" For the first time, Clementine not only, answered to Lee, but to Carley directly, as if Carley had gained some sort of authority.

"Good don't lock your elbows." Lee bent her elbows a bit, Clementine felt a bit more comfortable.

"Wait. Can I cover her ears?"

"Let me take this first one Carley and then you can tag in." Carley waved her hand she allowed it.

Lee covered Clementine's ears "Okay, let's take your first shot. Squeeze the trigger smoothly and I'll cover your eyes. Nice and easy."

"Nice and easy." Clementine pulled the trigger. She missed the target and squealed.

"You ok?" Clementine held her hands "My hands hurt! I don't like this."

Lee was determined, just before he could continue Carley took over.

"You can do this. Just try again. It becomes a stress reliever after a while." Carley knew that she could do this "Aim a bit to the right…Lee will cover your ears. Ok go again."

Clementine paused, as Lee adjusted her arms again and took another shot. She hit the target. "I did it."

"Yes you did sweat pea! Go ahead Carley." Carley took an empty bottle where the other one had been.

"Don't lock your elbows Clem. Good Girl!" Carley put her hands over Clementine's ears, Clem felt calm, a mother's touch went a long way. Clementine fired the gun, she hit the target and broke the bottle.

"Yes I did it again." Carley was so proud of Clementine, she knew that this is the first of many times that she would act as a proud mother.

Lee gathered "The Everett family" and they surrounded one map of Savannah. Chuck had told Lee that a plan needed to be made in order to guarantee Clem's survival.

"We need to come up with a plan, what should we do once we get to Savannah?" Clementine was the first to raise her hand.

"Do you think we'll have time to go look for my parents.?" Clem needed to know

"Look Clem… We should look for your parents definitely, but I think we need to stick with the group just on entering into Savannah, once we settle in find an escape route then we will look for your parents. I don't think we should risk anything. Is that ok?"

Clementine thought that sounded fair, she nodded in agreement for the time being. "But we're still planning to plan Car. We need to come up with a plan now."

Carley was ok with the boat, in fact she wanted to get on the boat as soon as possible, but it wasn't fair to the rest of the group.

"I say that we stick with the group to find the boat and then go find Clementine's parents sound fair?"

"As much as that plan works, it isn't possible, I doubt we'll even have close to enough time to do all those things at once." Clementine was not happy with the way Lee had left her parents behind.

Carley knew a bit about Savannah, she had only been there once. The one thing she remembered about houses there, was that they all had fences.

"Lee. Property in Savannah is very well guarded, I think it's worth giving a shot" Lee was happy about this ordeal, but knew that there was a lot of arranging to do with the rest of the group. His future with the group was already uncertain.

Carley knew as well that the structural integrity of the group was failing. For now, Lee just had to agree to make Clementine and Carley happy and then sort out the details with Carley, but Clementine had a basic plan going that was worth giving a shot.

"Ok. Let's do it."

"Just the three of us?" Clementine wondered what was going to happen with Lily and Kenny.

"At some point yes, it will be just the three of us." Clementine hugged Lee and Carley, they created a bond that everyone was happy with.

Clementine walked over to the car's door and left. "Be Careful" Lee yelled.

Finally Carley and Lee were alone. Carley was cleaning up her supplies making sure everything was in order. Lee came up from behind and wrapped his arms around her. She spun around to face him. Finally some alone time, they both knew that a new beginning awaited them and possibly a new future as a family of three. Carley and Lee kissed over and over again. It was getting a bit hot for the time being. They both knew when it was time to stop, Lee looked a bit disheartened

"Don't worry Lee, this train has to stop eventually." She hoped that wherever the train stopped, fortune followed just behind.

Next time on "What if Lily missed" :

We check back in on Lily and Kenny and what they discussed in that front car of the train. Another agenda is brewing between them and someone will find out. Also, we meet two other famous characters from the walking dead game, how will their journey change now that they are going to meet Carley.
