You looked down the bell tower. It was long, narrow, and scary.

Y/N: I don't think I can do this.

Clementine starts climbing down.

Clementine: Just climb down the same you climbed up.

Y/N: It's not as easy because I'll be looking down the whole time.

Clementine: Well, you're not staying up here.

Y/N: Fine.

You climbed down with her, and it was ten times scarier than climbing up, but you made it down in one place.

Y/N: Phew! I don't think I wanna do that again.

Clementine pouts at you.

Clementine: I thought you wanted to go back up with me sometime?

Y/N: Ah shit, I promised that, didn't I?

Clementine: Yeah, you sure did.

Y/N: Fuck. Well, you know I can't stay no to you.

She smiles and kisses your cheek.

Clementine: Thanks.

Ruby walks up to you.

Ruby: Oh! There you two are! What's taking you guys so long?

She playfully shoves you.

Clementine: Scaredy-cat here was taking too long to climb down the tower.

Y/N: Hey!

Ruby: And here I thought nothing scared you. Anyway, it's time for you guys to go on lookout. AJ's already waiting for you two up there.

Y/N: Thanks. We'll get on it.

You and Clementine walked over to the watch tower.

Clementine: You think you can handle climbing this?

You laugh.

Y/N: Oh, fuck off.

She giggles as she climbs the ladder. You climb after her, and like Ruby said, AJ is already up there, binoculars in hand.

AJ: Oh, hey Clem! Y/N!

Y/N: What's up, kiddo?

He looks back into the binoculars.

AJ: The raiders... That one guy... with one arm.

Y/N: Able? What about him?

AJ: He's gonna be with them.

Clementine: AJ... are your bad dreams about him?

AJ: Yeah... Can I swear yet?

Clementine: No. Come on, kiddo. Quit asking.

AJ: But Y/N does it all time!

Clementine: Yes he does and he should stop.

She glares at you.

Y/N: I try to contain myself...! Sometimes...

AJ: I would swear about his stupid head.

Y/N: Oh, I'll do it!

Clementine: No, you will not.

Y/N: Geez. Sorry, mom.

She playfully rolls her eyes and shakes her head.

Clementine: Why don't you try thinking about something else? Let's see uh... try... counting all the monsters you see.

AJ: Okay. It's the same amount as before. Three... four... There's not that much.
