I am a burglar: Whatever floats your boat.


Jill used a blanket to wipe Riley's mouth, which was still covered with vomit from last night's broccoli-induced incident. Riley briefly tore away from the blanket and started coughing a bit, before turning back to Jill.

Bill leaned in on Jill. "She seems a little more peace-able now, don't you think?" He whispered into her ear, careful for Riley not to hear. Jill nodded, and Riley raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Bill turned to the door. "We should probably be going to get more supplies," He said with a sigh. Riley stared at the two, and tugged on Bill's arm.

Bill turned to Riley. "We're going out," He said, motioning to the door and hoping she understood. Riley blinked in confusion, and wandered to the window and looked outside. Bill and Jill followed, and saw that the streets were clear for the time being.

"Let's go, Jill, now!" Bill said, and the two took off out the room, grabbing a gun for protection. In their rush, they forgot to close the door.

Riley wandered towards the door and watched them leave.

She blinked, and was confused when she felt an urge to follow them.


(In Yellowjacket's Mind)

"Guys, we have to save them," Star said bluntly as she looked through Yellowjacket's eyes.

"WHAT?!" The other four emotions shouted in protest. They immediately ran up to Joy, babbling their frustrations and disagreements with her.

"They took us away from Ghoul and Noose and Sawbones!" Brick reminded, his head aflame.

"They tied us to a bed," Nerve pointed out, jumping about in terror.

"They... made us... eat... BROCCOLI!" Pixie shouted out, her face beginning to turn purple from the memory. The other emotions screamed in horror at the memory. As they did, Star looked and saw multiple bright blue, red, green, and purple memory orbs form.

"Shut it, guys!" She snapped at them as she stared. Pointing at the memories, she said, "Look!"

The other emotions turned and saw the memories, and were nearly blinded by the bright memory orbs. They hadn't seen the orbs so bright in around a year, and they'd forgotten what it looked like.

Joy then ran and looked out the window. Observing Long-Term Memory, she noticed the area starting to grow brighter and begin functioning again. The emotions followed suit, and looked outside.

"Wow..." Joy whispered in awe. She didn't notice it, but she herself was starting to glow brighter as well. The other emotions were glued to the window as well, gazing in shock.

Pulling away from the window, Joy said, "That's why we need to save them!"

The other emotions turned to face Joy as she continued. "I told you; if we stayed with them, they would unlock our memories, and we'd know who Yellowjacket was in the past," She explained to them. "If we don't protect them, they won't be able to unlock the rest of our memories. Got it?"

"...Okay," The other emotions mumbled, but Pixie felt the urge to protest.

"What are we supposed to do?" She asked. "Go up against that crowd and say, 'Hey, don't eat those Freaks.'?"

"No..." Joy said. "I have a better idea. Follow me!"


Yellowjacket knew she had to follow the two. She didn't trust them fully at the moment, but she still needed to protect them from harm. She knew that the only way to unlock her past was for them to be around to do it for her.

Straightening up and gathering her courage, Yellowjacket dashed through the door.


Bill and Jill wandered the streets, searching for some place that had food or some other supplies to contend their daughter. Stopping at a Wal-Mart, Jill said, "That looks promising."

Instantly, Bill grabbed a flower pot and smashed it through the sliding door, allowing them entrance inside. Blades of glass went flying in all directions.

"Bill!" Jill shouted, gripping her face in horror. Bill turned to her, asking, "What?!"

Immediately, shrieks and growls started erupting from down the street. Bill, realizing that the smashed glass had attracted the attention of the zombies, ushered his wife inside the market.

"Crap, crap, crap..." Bill said as he began shoving random items into his bag. Jill grabbed a few movies from the film section, and Bill stared at her in disbelief.

"What?" She asked. "We need some entertainment."

Bill rolled his eyes, and finished grabbing some food and weapons off the table.

"Finally, we can go and bring these things to Riley," He said with a triumphant smile.

"What about the group?" Jill asked.

"What about them?" Bill said contemptibly. The two turned to leave, and stopped when they saw that the exit to the Wal-Mart was blocked by a group of zombies. They hadn't seen the two, however, and wandered around the broken door.

"Oh boy..." Bill said. He saw that a few more zombies were arriving, and one of them caught a glimpse of the two. It growled out, alerting the other zombies, who stared at them.

Holding up his gun, Bill said, "Looks like I have no choice."

Before he could fire, the sound of sobbing caught the ears of the zombies, as well as the Andersens. The zombies turned to the source of the crying, forgetting about the Andersens. Curiously, they wandered towards the sobbing, leaving Bill and Jill.

"What was that about?" Bill asked, confused.

"Does it matter?" Jill asked. "Let's go!"

With that, the two took off down the streets, leaving the zombies to continue wandering towards the crying. The zombies located the crying to behind a garbage can. One of them smashed the can aside, and they looked down to see a little girl, about thirteen, curled in a ball on the ground, crying to herself.

She looked up at them, and they stared down, confused and somewhat disappointed. The zombies had learned to connect a girl crying with Freaks being around.

The girl stared at them for a moment, then surprised them by hissing, causing them to back up. Then, in an instant, she sprinted down the street at a fast pace, vanishing into a building.
