Yay a new chapter for Spring Break update jumbo! This time with so much stuff! Have fun with this terrible grammar and eh-characterization!
Now enjoy!
Supermarket Fun Time!
I woke up when the sun was still down, oh it's probably 6:00am like always, I only get 8 hours of sleep, nothing less and nothing more it seems. I get up and see Ari asleep behind the couch, poor thing that's done with our shit 24/7. I look to see Bromir on guard instead of Mark, tiptoeing over to him he greeted me with a soft smile.
"My lady." His voice was exhausted, and I can't have tired people on my crew!
"Did you get any sleep?" I questioned, leaning on the other side as a zombie ever so gracefully bumped into the door which caused Bromir to jump.
He sighed, setting down his sword and shook his head. "No, every noise, every gurgle kept me awake. I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep."
I thought so too, on the first night none of us could sleep, then again, it was probably the worst night to be awake. We kept hearing screams and pleads, people running and trying to get into the doors of the minivan. I eventually got some sleep, so I was the one to drive that day and everyone else just took periodic naps.
"Don't worry." I reassured the soldier, "worst night is always the worst, you'll get some sleep tonight I know it."
He nodded, his brown eyes soft and gleaming out me. He was jumped out of his thoughts when that same asshole kept bumping into our door, it probably smelled the food. Boromir got tired of it and stood, carefully opening the door and shoving a sword through it's nose. It fell dead, again, but no one was waking up. The sun started to come up, and as Luna likes to say, "when the sun is up, I'm up!" I carefully turned on the car enough so I could play the radio, going to the CD I looked around to see if there were any zombies about, none that I could see... perfect! Still keeping the volume relatively low, I went to song number 11, and played it.
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
"Rise and shine beautifuls!" I called out warmly, Boromir just eyed the machine oddly and tried to shake the music out of his head.
Basically everyone jolted awake, Luna growled and Lilly just got up and did her stupid dance to it.
Ari however didn't really like this song, so while his head was still buried behind the shitty couch he screamed. "Turn it off!"
"Not until everybodies up!" I reply, still looking at the snoring Gibli and well the doors to the rooms haven't opened yet... oh wait never mind they opened, and Dwi looked the most pissed off while Gandolf just sighed heavily, but let us have our odd ways.
The hobbits were hastily getting up, helping each other stand and fix their clothing. Legolas though apparently did not like this song, because he marched right over to the dwarf and used a pillow to smack him awake. Gibli snorted and his eyes opened, growling at the sight of the elf... okay.
I turned off the music now that everyone was up, but that left me to here the dwarf spit. "What do you think yer were doing, smacking me like that!"
Legolas just turned back around and gave him cold eyes, his voice matched it. "Up!"
"You don't get to order me around like a dog you pointed ear bastard!" Uhhhhhhh.
"And you don't get to talk to me like that you bearded imp!" OkAY!
"Hey!" I interrupted as Aragorn was intervening with the two physically. "Cut the shit out! There are some rules here on my RV!"
Kai interrupted me. "This isn't your RV."
"Shh! Anyway, rule number 1- no fighting or I throw you out there!" I pointed to the door and the two stared wide eyed. "Or, we'll put you in "this is our get together shirt!" When they looked at me confused, I explained. "It is a giant shirt that I put you both in and keep you there until you both apologize!"
They both stared at me in disbelief now, Legolas even gasped a little. Got 'em.
"Rule number 2-..." Think... "My RV, my music!" Most nodded respectfully, save the teens who just stared at me, lifting an eyebrow towards me.
"... and that's all for now." I couldn't think of any more rules, so I turned around and got everything ready to travel.
"Lily, Luna you can go get breakfast ready." I said ever so sweetly and Lilly gladly stood, ready to make some eggs while Luna just cursed under her breath.
"Ms. Flaminia." A small voice sounded, a little shy too. "I would be happy to make breakfast." Ohh Sam is the cutest! I nodded and he quickly stood, ready to make breakfast along with Lily as Luna got Dwi ready for the day. I started moving, the boys got a little jolted, but calmed down rather quickly. Aragorn approached me, staring out at the rode ahead of us.
"Are those two always like that?" I whisper to him as I glanced at Legolas and Gimli who were on other ends of the RV.
He sighed and nodded. "Afraid so my lady, they have... bad blood between their races." Ohhh, that sucks for everyone then huh?
Unfortunately, Luna overheard this and leaned in. "I guess you could say they're the Montagues and Capulets of Middle-earth!"
"No fuck you!" I shouted, flipping her off in pure anger.
"That's the plan." Okay well! Where is a camera to look into, the other guys though stared rather shocked at her reply, but Aragorn just gave a small laugh and when back. I traveled and breakfast was quickly ready, I was given a plate, eggs with. Holy shit!
"Bacon?!" I lifted the brown and red wiggly piece of meat, I or any of us have had any meat since it started!
"It isn't much, but it's something." Sam replied shyly, and I gladly gave him a big hug.
"Ohh it's the best!" I let go and the others stared at their piece in amazement. Ari though split his up and gave us his, him not allowed to eat pig with his religion and all.
"Duuude!" Kai lifted the piece like it was the damn holy grail. "We haven't had any meat since this started! Praise the lord!"
Mark now spoke, his voice deep yet quiet. "Said the agnostic." True. Legolas got a little glint in his eyes when Kai spoke... now I'm scared what he's thinking.
"Holy shit!" Ari's voice suddenly sounded from the bathroom, he rushed out and pointed. "The shower works!" Praise the motherfuckin' lord!
"Dibs on going first!" Lily shouted and charged to the bathroom, I let everyone go first, still driving as they got all shiny clean. Finally it was my turn, Luna took over driving as I got extra clothes and got in the shower. The water was about luke warm and it was fantastic! I washed my hair and body like I was scrubbing off my sins before turning the water off and getting dry. I put my clean clothes back on, spinning my hair and towel in the towel hat before exiting to greet the others. Practically every girl had a towel hat on, all of different bright colors. Ari was on the couch, different useless electronics sprawled on the portable table and was doing who knows what with his basic engineering knowledge. The other men though just stared at us girls very strange, I'm going to assume it was because of the towel hats. The hobbits seemed to most obviously amazed, but the other men only shyly stared to be respectful. I took over the wheel again and continued driving, putting the RV in cruise so I could look around better. Though as I drove I suddenly heard a female, mortified scream. I whipped my head around to see Lilly doubled over, clutching her head as the towel hat was sliding off.
"I didn't know you hair was in there!" Pipe screeched, eyes wide in terror, oh honey.
"Uh yeah of course." I exclaimed, "where else would the hair go, pipe?" Everyone went silent, staring very rudely too I so say.
Finally Pipe squeaked. "My name is Pippin!" Oh shit.
"Flame how long have u been getting their names wrong?!" Luna demanded, well I wouldn't know that if I don't know their names now would I! She then pointed to the person next to Pippin. "What's his name!"
Ah shit… "Merry? Merry Christmas!" Oh God I'm tired.
"Just Merry." He corrected, trying to be as sweet as possible.
Luna pointed to the next person and now, I guess ,it's gonna be a game to see how many names can Flaminia fuck up! "Sam?"
"Yay! Good job!" Luna cheered me on like a dog, excuse you that's the most normal name out if everyone!
She pointed to the hobbit next to him, oh I know this one too! "Froyo!"
"Frodo!" Shit… she pointed towards the back to the… oh shit I can't really see, it's hard doing this while driving people! Oh it's the redhead dude!
"Bromir." That's gotta be his and right?
"Boromir, my lady." His face was a little sympathetic as he corrected.
Oh boy it's the dwarf. "Gibli."
Okay so his face was pissed as he huffed out. "Gimli!" Alright, no need to get pissy! Blondy on the other hand was snickering.
"Gandold." Was the next I butchered apparently.
"Gandalf." He sweetly corrected, "or Mithrandir." Oh! That's actually a cool name!
"Don't give her two names for one person, she'll never get it right." Ari told, okay well we know who's sleeping next to the trash can tonight!
Soon though Luna went to the elf and I just stuttered. "I… I- honestly don't have any clue what your name is, I've just been calling you blondy." That smile he just had disappeared, and it was Gimli's turn to laugh.
"Legolas." He spoke it slow, like I was a challenged person, rude.
Finally Luna pointed to the last, rugged looking man lounging on the couch. "Okay, okay I got this! Ara... gooorn?"
"Yes."
"FUCK YEAH MOTHER FUKCERS! I KNOW NAMES!" Okay so that was a little over dramatic, but who gives a shit I was right! The others jumped from my sudden outburst, as I shot my right fist in the air. "Man, I can't remember the simplest names but I can remember Aragone!" There was a collective sigh for some reason and Gimli spoke up.
"Well your names aren't ease as well, my lady."
Luna pointed to me for obvious reasons and I held my hand up in defense, bumping into a zombie. "Okay look, Flaminia isn't like a real name anymore anyway. It's like old Irish because my parents wanted a 'unique' name and they were Iris, so, Flaminia! Also, Luna isn't exactly name-of-the-year!"
"That's because they named me after Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter." What a bunch of nerds. The conversation died out into their own little snip bits that I barely paid attention to because it was time for me to focus on driving; there was a bunch of swerved cars and wrecks that I had to avoid with my boat of an automobile. The cars seemed to last on forever, and we did have to stop sometimes to clear some cars out, but other than that it was okay. As I drove though I saw an exit, and down below a giant Walmart.
Stopping the car I turned and asked the question. "Okay, we have a Walmart down below, it's huge and we can get the extra supplies we need, but 1. It is in a city which we want to avoid at all costs, and 2. It could be a death trap." There was silence, people shifting their eyes and thinking about what to do.
"We have more people now." Luna spoke up, "bigger guys who can help you, so as long as we're quiet and quick we should be fine." There were murmurs of agreement, and I was forced to nod, turning around and exiting. I don't like this at all, but I can't be the dictator of the group, but I don't want to see anyone else die. I've already lost so damn much from this... oh shit I better not cry here! I pulled into the parking lot that was already dotted with zombies, and we easily got their attention so now the dots were becoming an ever growing clump.
I shut off the car and turned, getting my stuff ready, but Luna spoke up. "Hey babe, you sure you don't wanna sit this one out?"
To which I promptly replied. "I have to go, more dangerous out there than in here, so I'm out."
"Then I'm going with you." She simply replied and went for her things.
"Oh hell no! You gotta look after Dwi." I then marched towards her, placing my hand on hers and preventing her from getting more of her things.
"Ari can look after Dwi, he is her older brother!"
To which Ari now objected. "I gotta work on the car! You know, make it badass and all."
"You're always out!" Dwi not piped up, "why can't you stay here for once!" There was silence and the fellowship gave cautious stares.
"Okay look." Kai stood, arms out and ready to preach a plan. "Flame is like the best runner we have, and Ari is super duper smart in technology stuff. Luna, we need you and Dwi to help organize and all that shit. So our roles are kinda dug in stone, but we have these guys now!" They gestured to the fellowship, "so they can greatly help with all this kind of shit. Teach 'em and all that, so yeah Flame is gonna have to do some more runs until they're reliable enough for you two dorks to get a break."
We all nodded in agreement, but Luna had another adorable complaint. "But... it's a supermarket, you could get bit or something." Her fingers twirled with mine and I squeezed back.
I turned to her, giving her a peak on the cheek. "I'll be fine! The guys with me will make sure to keep me bite free."
She sighed but nodded, returning the peak we smiled and I turned for recruiting. "Aight, so who's gonna come with me?"
Legolas was the first to speak. "I will come." Of course, the first person to volunteer is the person who can't.
"You can't, you and Mark gotta get your bows and start sniping zombies outside and protect Ari as he badasses his car." He nodded respectfully, getting his bow ready along with Mark.
"Then I shall accompany you." Aragorn stepped forward, and to my surprise Gimli also stepped forward with him.
After a some force volunteering, we settled on the runners being me, Aragorn, Gimli, and Lilly. We got everything ready, weapons, bags, melee weapons, etc. We went out first, clearing the way for Legolas and Mark to get on the roof and start picking off the others before Ari finally stepped out and began to rummage through cars. The four of us entered the store, the some how still working mechanical doors sliding open for us. Upon entering, Aragorn and Gimli seemed rather interested in the lights above us, well I'm surprised they're on. Keeping low we waded through the mess, dead zombies, empty cans, all fairly new.
"We're not alone." I whispered to the three… wait two, aw where the hell is Lilly?
The remaining two drew their weapons in ready for an attack, but they had the jump on us. A rifle was shoved in my face, and one popped up behind us too.
"Drop your weapons!" The teenager ordered, okay fuckboy calm down.
Aragorn and Gimli were spooked by the new weapons, but that didn't stop Gimli. "I'll put down mine as soon as you drop yours."
The one behind it decided to speak now. "Shut it midget!"
"Midget?!" Oh Boy.
"Hey!" I got their attention… yay? "Look, we're just here for some supplies; food, water, some lady stuff it's not that much! Just let us get the things and we'll leave with no harm done."
The boys shifted, but the one in front lessened the grip of his rifle. I reached out, elbow in crook of arm, hand on rifle, and hand shoving him away. The other shouted and readied to aim, but I was already behind the guy with his rifle to his head.
"Don't!" I stopped him, the boys face of pure terror.
I knew he was thinking up some plan, but that's when Likly decided to come back and her gun to his head.
"I wouldn't do that." Her voice was sweet sounding, innocent if it wasn't with gun to a guys head.
He dropped it instantly, and she asked the questions now. "Is it just you two?"
"No," her hostage answered. "There's about ten of us, from the high school just down the road. They're out looking for supplies to secure the place."
Well this place can be secured, but it'll be tricky.
I looked down at the two men, still crouched with weapons raised. "Aragorn, Gimli, go with Lilly and get the supplies, I'll watch these two."
They nodded, Lilly guiding the other to my line of sight as I hopped onto the lower shelf with the rifle and the other beside me.
"Some weird names," one of the boys spoke. "Where'd y'all find them?" Oh you know…
"On the road, I know they're weird to be sure, but they make good people."
He nodded and the other spoke now, all smug like. "Well we never got your name." Oh please.
"Flaminia." When I received odd stares I explained. "It's old Irish, my friends and girlfriend just calls me Flame."
So the boy now looked really disappointed that I have a girlfriend, tough luck boy.
The other one though introduced. "I'm Austin, this is Chris. Are you guys from Kansas?"
Oh hell no! I'm from Texas, about three times worse! "No, Texas. We're making our way north to Canada and possibly Russia."
They blinked, I guess not expecting us to actually have a plan. They were silent again, but Lilly and the two came back with bags full of supplies. I jumped off and got my share, then handed Austin back his rifle.
"You guys be careful here, don't think that because it's fortified that you can lounge back." They nodded, holding the rifle stiffly.
We left, seeing a lovely sight of a zombie getting impaled right in front of us.
"Ari is the RV ready?" I call out to the hunched over Indian teen working frantically.
"Uhh, give me one second!" I groaned and got to the doors of the RV, Luna opened it for us and we marched inside, placing down the many bags and turning to Lilly.
"What'd you get?"
She just shrugged and replied matter-of-fairly. "Oh the usual, food and water for us all. Some dog food for Brumby and Advil for us, oh I also found some pads and tampons."
What?! Next thing I know all the girls are surrounding the bags, taking out the products, hugging them, kissing them like they're the holy grail. The men gave us all odd stares, but we didn't give two shits.
Things were cut short when Ari busted through the door, hands in the air and out of breath. "Okay, car is armoredish up and we're ready to get the hell outta here... what're you guys doing?"
He stared at the us girls who were cuddling the products. He left it and went to the couch, I dropped my package and went to the driver seat, seeing the two lanky people run around, picking up goop covered arrows and getting some zombies that followed them. They entered the RV, arrows in hand as they made their way towards the sink.
Mark turned on the water, but her scoffed. "Damn, you guys think you got everything?"
Lilly gave him a stare and replied. "Oh shut up asshole, we girls have been suffering!"
He lifted his hands in defense before continuing to clean the arrows with Legolas. I put it drive and did a wide U-turn before going back onto the highway illegally! 'Cause that's how we do it here with squad... okay we need a squad name, that's next on the agenda. We continued driving for the rest of the day, lunch was a sandwich, peanut butter and jelly, woohoo! We hate, the hobbits loved the sandwiches and begged for more, but Gandalf shut them up real fast. Night approached and we pulled over on the highway again, getting the car in park and lights dim. Lilly helped make dinner, eggs with the bread Sam had, and it wasn't half bad. Next we told some stories, school and fuckboys which really interested them, and they told stories about dragons and awesome as fuck elves! As we listened, Kai got up and crossed towards the bathroom, taking a tampon bag on the way... oh no.
"Why's she taking that?" Pippin questioned, staring towards the bathroom door.
Luna explained as she always does. "They... uh... Flame?"
Wow okay thanks honey, love you too! "Basically, uterus wants baby, women doesn't provide baby, uterus wants revenge... with blood." Boromir choked on his water and Aragorn went red, but Pippin apparently still didn't get it. Merry finally leaned towards his big ear and whispered something, which caused Pippin to noise in disgust.
Legolas though had a different question. "Why are you calling her, they?" Haha, time for some more knowledge!
"Kai is a-gender, neither a boy or a girl." I explained, not wanting to go into full detail so not to confuse.
"But wasn't she, I mean, they born a girl?" Okay so he wants lengthy explanation, but aw he's trying, that's sweet!
"Well they were born a girl, but they didn't want to be a girl, or a boy. Instead they wanted to be, nothing."
They all nodded, understanding and just in time for Kai to come back with groaning noises that scared Boromir into reaching for his sword. Yes, when you start your period, you turn into a zombie temporarily.
When everyone was finished we figured out who was going to do watch. Ari and Boromir was last time, and hopefully he'll get some sleep tonight. So tonight will be Legolas first, then me. I curled up next to Luna and we got some sleep, Dwi insisted on Ari sleeping with her and he complied. We all were in the same place as last time and went for sleep.
Woohoo, now that I have this plotting notebook, this story is plotted... ish, but it'll work to keep me on track... hopefully...
Please leave a review, I'm doing the best I can to make it fun for ya'll, so advice or feedback would be great!
