-A few days later -

They all were heading back to the ski lodge.

It was still kinda cold out.

Nick was lost in thought and in the back of the group. He was thinking of when him and Clementine had gotten to Wellington.

“Just take her! Please! It's too dangerous out here for her.” Nick said to her

“Nick, I…” Clem said

“It's just a little girl, you can make room for that. Please just...I need her to be safe…”

“I'II...I'II ask, just gimme a second.”

Edith walked somewhere else and Nick looks down.

“I'm not staying here without you.” Clem said

Nick looks at Clementine.

“It’s safer here…” Nick said to Clem

Edith came back “We can take the girl...but just the girl…”

Nick smiled “Thank you.”

He looked back at Clementine, she had a sad look on her face.

“This is your chance, Clem. You'll be safe in there…”

Clem started to cry “No...why are you doing this?” She asked him

“Because it's the only way…please Clem, just…”

Nick was starting to cry too.

“No! We're leaving! Both of us, together.” Clem said

Nick looked at her “Clem…”

“Nick...we're staying together…”

Nick smiles and hugs her.

Nick smiled about what Clem  said. We stay together, we're family.

“Nick?”

Nick sees Clementine beside him.

“What are you thinking about?” she asked

“I'm just remembering some things.” He said with a smile.

Clementine smiles and then, walks up to Sarah.

Carlos walked up to Nick.

“Nick, Sarah told me about what you did.” Carlos said

“Oh, she did?”

“I wanted to say thanks for saving my daughter.”

“It was no problem, Carlos…she needed help.” Nick said

“Again, thank you.”

Nick nods his head and then, Carlos walked towards the girls.

Nick smiled to himself.

He was about to get lost in thought again when he heard someone's voice, it was Luke.

“Hey Luke.”

“Hey man, I know you're mad at me too but…”

Nick looked at him as he was talking.

“...I messed up, I know that but, can't you forgive me?”

“You put the whole group in danger.” Nick said with an angry look on his face.

“I know…” Luke said with a sad look on his face.

Nick sighed “I'm not really mad at you...I forgive you, Luke.”

“Really?”

Nick smiles and nods his head.

Luke smiled back at him and walked back to the front of the group.

Nick walked up to Clementine and started to walk next to her with a smile on his face.
