I wasn't originally going to do this but he's such a legend that I had to write this
Clem's POV:
I wake up in a train...the train that took us to Savannah. I appear to be 8 years old again... Out of nowhere comes Lee
Lee: Hey, sweet pea
Me: Lee?
Lee sits down next to me
Lee: Why the train? You always pick the train
Me: I'm not sure. Maybe because this is where it all started. Where you taught me to shoot, and to cut my hair. To be ready for what was coming
Lee: You were a quick study. So what's on your mind this time?
Me: I'm worried, Lee. I've got a lot of people depending on me, and I don't know if what I'm doing is right
Lee: Oh, I know that feeling. You know I was making it all up as I went along, right? Couldn't let on, of course. With you being so little
Me: I never noticed. It just felt like you always knew the right thing to do
Lee: Yeah, well, I got lucky. Luck counts for a lot
Me: I'm gonna need some now
Lee: You wanna tell me about what you're up against?
Me: I'm with a new group now. And I've been in...so many...and they always fall apart, but I really like this one. It's...different. It almost feels like home
Lee: That's a good thing. It's hard being alone out there
Me: But we're in trouble. Some bad people captured my friends, and getting them back might get the rest of us killed
Lee: I'm not worried
Me: What?
Lee: Whatever trouble you're in, you'll get out of it. You'll get your friends out of it
Me: You don't know that
Lee: I know you're a survivor. The Clementine I know is gonna fix it. I really believe that
Me: You're right. I just needed to hear you say it. I'm going to get my friends out of this. Every one of them. Alive
Lee: That's right
Lee: Imagine what Louis is gonna say
Bit late for that Lee
Lee: When he sees your face. Those boys are gonna have hope again, knowing that you came to rescue them
Lee: Aw, sweet pea. You know you always get like this before something big. Remember how scared you were before you charged into that mess at McCarroll Ranch? You survived that, didn't you?
Me: That was different. I was alone
Lee: I know. It's harder when you have something to lose. But having people you care about, that's a good thing
Lee: Friends. A boy who thinks the world of you
Lee: They're fighting beside you. Because of you. (Gets up) Come and see me again when you've gotten them out, okay? Out and safe. Sound good? And hopefully we can talk about happier things. If you know of any
Me: Lee. I miss you so much. I wish you were really here
Lee: I miss you too, Clementine. But we'll have to make do with pretending
Me: Thank you, Lee. Talking to you always makes me feel a little bit better
Lee: I've been meaning to ask.. What's Y/N like?
Me: He's a good guy Lee. He's kind, funny, a little bit shy, and he's really protective of me, Aj and the rest of the school. He's very determined to get rid of any danger to keep us safe
Lee: He sounds like a good guy
Me: He is Lee
Lee: I nearly forgot to ask as well.. How's the boy?
Me: He's good, Lee. You'd like him
Lee: I bet. You teach him to shoot yet?
Me: You have no idea
Lee: I guess the world got pretty hard since I left it. A kid growing up in it, he'd be hard too. You're in my shoes now, raising a kid. Think you got a handle on it? It can't be easy, wanting to give him a childhood, but knowing what it takes to survive now. It was easier for me, since the world was just changing. But you're living in one that's changed completely. You doing okay?
Me: Aj is a bit of a challenge at times. But thankfully it's not me alone. Y/N seems to enjoy filling in as a father figure for him. He helps sometimes
Lee: This Y/N sounds like a good guy. I like him
Me: Thanks Lee, and he is a good guy
I run over to Lee and hug him
Lee: Wow. Just look at you
I now appear as my current self
Lee: Just look at you
Lee: Thought I told you to keep this short
He says touching my hair
Me: Um, you don't know how hard it is to find scissors these days
Lee: Ha. Maybe you won't have to cut it yourself with Y/N around
Me: I could ask him to be my personal barber I guess (chuckles)
Lee: Time to go Clementine. You've got people that need you
Lee walks away
Me: Goodbye Lee
I feel someone shaking me. I wake up in my dorm to see Aj stood next to me
Aj: Clem, wake up. It's time to go. We got a long walk
Lee truly is a legendary character within the history of fiction. I said this at the beginning but I wasn't originally going to write this chapter but here we are
