I dropped the walker's hands and looked up at the sky. "Ugh!" I said feeling my arms burn. Michonne laughed at me. I laughed too, "You're done already?!" She asked looking at me. "Already?! My arms feel like jelly 'chonne.." I said laughing too and swaying them around loosely. "Mine hurt too, go ahead I'll finish up." She said walking over to me. We've been loading up the walker's bodies to take out to the woods all morning and my arms were killing me. I really couldn't do it anymore. They burned so bad, I feel like I couldn't even pick up my machete.

"Are you sure?" I asked. She nodded, grabbing the walker by its arms. "Yeah." She said and started dragging it towards the rest of the bodies. "See now I feel bad leaving you alone." I said. She shook her head, "Go. When I get back I'll show you some new moves. Train you some more.." She said dragging the body. I looked up at the sky for a second then back at her. "So you're trying to make my arms fall off is what you're saying." I said, causing her to drop the body and put her hands on her knees. She laughed a bit, "Stop complaining, you're building up some more muscle. Think of it that way." She said and stood up straight.

"True.." I said. "Besides there's only 4 more. You've helped enough. Go wash up." She said and grabbed the body again. I nodded, "Alright.." I said and walked away from her.

I heard a whistle and I looked over to see Daryl walking over to me. I stopped walking and waited for him to come to me. "This you?" he asked reaching into his pocket to pull out the small arrow I carved out. I laughed a little as he got closer to me. "You found it." I said looking back down at my hands. I put it in his cell, I hid it but it wasn't that hard to find.

"A.G. Figured.." He said looking at it, He shook his head as I looked back at him. "Why though?" he mumbled. I shrugged, "Arrows remind me of you. And the quarantine was boring.. I made more- i'm gonna hide them in your cell." I said walking away from him looking at my hands. He followed me and I reached the area where we could wash our hands. "Why hide 'em. Just give 'em to me if they're meant for me." He said looking at me. "Where's the fun in that?" I asked washing my hands.

"I almost threw it away.." He mumbled looking at the arrow. I gasped. "How dare you, why!" I laughed. "Now that I know they're from you I won't." he said putting it back in the pocket on his vest. "If I find my arrows in the trash, you'll hurt my feelings Uncle Daryl." I said as I continued to wash my hands. "I'm gonna make 5 more and I'm hiding them around the prison, I hope you find them." I said looking at him. "I'm too old to play a damn scavenger hunt." He said.

"No one is too old for a scavenger hunt." I said as I dried my hands and walked away from him. He came after me, ".. 5." He said. I smiled and turned around. "Oh cmon 10. It'll be fun. 5 isn't a challenge." I said. He scoffed and shook his head. "Fine.." he said. I put my hands together. "Yay!" I laughed. "Don't get too excited I ain't hidin' shit for you." He said walking towards me. "But you accepted my scavenger hunt!" I said excitedly. "Whatever." He said not looking at me. I smiled, "Do you ever smile? Or is this part of your persona?" I asked. He looked over at me as we walked. "I smile." He said. "Lies. I've seen you smirk but not smile." I said. He looked away from me, "Go bug your boyfriend, see how he's doing." He said. "I'm bugging you?" I asked.

"You're starting to," he said. I smiled, "Aww, i'm sorry. Do you want an apology hug? I'm sorry for bugging you friend," I said, I know he didn't like hugs either. He knew I was just messing with him though, "Touch me, I'll kill you," he said picking up the pace. "Okay wait- can you do me a favor?" I asked, "Depends." He responded and looked back at me, He stopped walking and so did I. "Can you help Michonne with the few bodies that are left?" I asked. He looked over to her, "I thought you were taking care of that." he said looking back at me. "I was but my arms hurt.. I'm tired." I said. "How do you expect me to teach you to use my bow with your goddamn noodle arms." He said squeezing my right arm slightly. "Ah- Ow!" I smacked his chest.

"They burn right now! You're not helping-!" I smacked him again. He scoffed then smirked at me. I laughed a little. "I've been helping her for hours okay? Leave my noodle arms alone.." I said holding back my laugh. He scoffed again and smiled the slightest, turning around and walking over to Michonne. "Thank you Daryl." I called out as he continued to walk away from me. "Yeah." He responded and continued walking. I smiled again and walked into the cell block looking for Beth.

"Hey." Carl said as he walked towards me. "Hey." I said. "Where's dad? He was supposed to wake me up. I can't find him." He said, I shook my head looking around. "I don't know. I was helping Michonne all morning, Is Beth up?" I asked. He nodded, "Yeah, with Judith. Can you help me look for dad? She has it covered." He said. I nodded, "Okay.. He's probably down there." I said looking over at the fields.

He walked and I followed him. "Were you gonna help him with something or what?" I asked as I spotted dad. "I don't know," He said as we continued walking to dad who was checking the plant growth.

"You didn't wake me up." Carl said looking at him. Dad turned around and looked at both of us. "I thought I'd let you sleep in." he said looking at Carl, "I wanted both of you to sleep in after last night." He said looking at me, "But you beat me to it." He said, I shrugged a bit. "Michonne needed the help." I said. He nodded a bit, "I have to go talk to Daryl.." He said looking at us. "Right now?" Carl asked. He sighed and shook his head. "No," he said smacking his shoulder slightly with the gloves. "Soon," He said and gestured to us to follow him.

We checked everything and Dad got a pea plant, opening it. He held it out towards Carl and I. I took one, Carl took one and dad took the last one.
