Duck and I were floating along te river, making sarcastic remarks about this "AMAZING" experience. Soon the river begun to flow smoothly ans softly, so I was able to swim. Ducky attempted to, but begun to flop everywhere. I giggled at him and he lightly punched me in the arm, then I punched him - harder - back. Of course, though, he had to take it a LITTLE too far and dunked my whole body underwater, his knees on my stomach. I could barely breath and it took all my strength to get him and his stupid, skinny body off of me.
"I... I could've DROWNED!" I gasped.
"Now what sorta' friend would I've been if I'd of made you drown?" he responded and it was true. I knew Duck, and he was the best friend I had ever had (that was my age) and he loved to protect me and save me from those walkers..
I just shrugged and that convosation was over. All the sudden, I heard mens voices close to us.
"Duck, get down!" I ordered, pulling his coller with me.
I told him to close his eyes and stick to the side so they wouldn't catch us. What a horrible idea that was.. Suddenly, we were tangled up in a net, struggling. One of the men fished us out, looking dissapointed. Looks like we ruined their fishing trip!
"Jut some lurkers.." he sighed, "I'll get rid of 'em.."
"STOP!" shouted the other man,"they might be stil alive! Just check..."
"WE ARE, WE ARE!" shouted Duck, loudly. And in panick, the one with the icy blue eyes (who thought we were "lurkers" (walkers) shot me in the arm, causing me to pass out.
Ducks POV "HOW F******g DARE YOU!" I screamed, holding Clementine.
"Sorry, kid!" he apologised.
"SORRY?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! YOU STUPID-" I shrieked, this guy had really bad aim, so we were luck this time..
"Kid, we're sorry, really! The best we can do right now it bring her back with us and treat the wound." said the kinder one with brown eyes.
"F-fine.." I sniffed, looking down at her. I loved her golden eyes and her ruby lips, they were perfect and her smile was like winning 7 billion pound!
"Sooo," the brown eyed man continued, "dya want me to carry her?"
"I can handle her." I said bravely. She is pretty light, like my own weight, so I guess I should be able to carry her! And I was right, she's as light as a feather, and both men just shrugged and lead me to their base.
Oh.. my.. GOD! IT WAS THE CABIN CREW! THE BEST NICKNAME EVER!
"Holy crud!" I beamed, "Can I call all of you the CABIN CREW?!" Everyone chuckled and rolled their eyes, then the kind man said "Yeah, I like that nickname, of course."
He showed me the spare room and said this is the place we would be staying. I thanked him, introduced myself (of course, he wondered why my name was Duck, so I had to explain) and then he closed the door behind me. He'd introduced me to all of his friends earlier - his name was Luck and the man with the icy blue eyes was Nick, the pregnant lady was Rebecca and the baby's Dad was Alvin. There was also Uncle pete who seemed really nice, a girl named Sarah and Carlos.
I laid Clemmy down on the bed softly and sat beside her. It took her a whole half-an-hour to wake up. She winced at the pain in her shoulder and looked up at me with her beautiful smile.
"SHE'S AWAKE! I REAPEAT, SHE'S AWAKE!"
Everyone came crouding round her, Nick looking guilty. Clem blushed and looked back at me.
"Where are we?"
"In The Cabin Cave with The Cabin Crew." I winked. She giggled at my crappy joke,which always made everyone feel better.
She whimpered and looked at her arm, then she begun to cry a little. I grabbed her hand - which made everyone "DAWWWW" - and told her not to touch it, we'd get it patched up in a minute.
Carlos, whose a doctor and Sarah's dad, came over and bandaged her up, and Nick came and apologised. Clementine (being the sweet girl she is) let him off and smiled. Right now, I was really concerned over her. She look freezing and we were both dripping wet. I asked for a towel and Luke threw one right at me. Gentely, I wrapped it around her and still kept tight hold of her hand.
Later on
Luke called me Clemmy first, I headed down and sat where he had instructed me to sit. "Kiddo, do you like Clementine?" he asked me.
I looked down because I'm to stubborn to say yes, and It's too late to say no.
"Well, it's Valentines Day tomorrow and we aren't doing anything, so if you want my or our help, the we are here." he smiled at me - no one had caught on this fast before, and not even Clem knows! He must be able to read minds or something...
During the night Nick was the first on guard, then it was Luke, then Pete, then Carlos, then Alvin and (if needed) then thinking, I blurted it out:
"Clementine, would you like to be my valentine...?"
"Of course, Duck" and with that, she snuggled into me and fell asleep.
