The group was getting ready for their plan to get Oceanside's guns. Almost everyone was there, even Jace and Enid from Hilltop came on the mission as Rosita and Jasper stayed at Alexandria to watch over the place.
"I didn't know you were an expert in tree climbing." Carl chuckled out as he watched Eloise about a foot off the ground, scaling a tree. Eloise chuckled, shaking her head. "I'm not. Last time I climbed a tree I broke my leg. Kinda hoping for better outcomes right now."
Carl's brows furrowed as he looked up at her. "Why'd you try to climb a tree anyway?"
Eloise chuckled, talk another step up the tree. "Jace and I just finished Tarzan and he bet I couldn't climb a tree like he could." Carl immediately let out a loud laugh, Eloise sending him a glare. "So you're Tarzan now?" Carl asked and Eloise smirked, raising her brows. "If I am that means you're my Jane." She mumbled leaning down from her hanging spot on the tree, taking Carl's hat off his head, putting it on her own before kissing his forehead obnoxiously, making Carl laugh, turning up to face her, pulling her into a real kiss.
Eloise smiled into the kiss, letting go of the tree with one hand to cup Carl's cheek before she started to lose balance and Carl quickly pulled his lips away from hers, his hands flying to her waist to steady her. "Easy there, Tarzan." Carl chuckled out and Eloise smiled before climbing the rest of the way up the tree.
"You ready?" Michonne asked, two trees away from her and Eloise nodded.
...
The two waited in silence until the people of Oceanside started running, causing Eloise and Michonne to pull their guns up, shooting at their feet to lead them towards Carl and Gabriel on the ground.
"Go. I got it." Michonne yelled over the gunfire and Eloise slowly turned her head to her. "You sure?"
Michonne nodded and Eloise climbed down the tree, running towards Carl and Gabriel just as Oceanside's people got there.
"Everybody down!" Carl screamed, pointing his gun, Eloise and Gabriel right beside him. "Hands on your heads. Everybody stay calm." Gabriel yelled at the group stopped, putting their hands on their heads.
"We don't want anyone to get hurt. Stay down and listen to what we say." Eloise said as Carl nodded. "We want this to go as simply and as peacefully as possible. All of you can make it that way." Carl said as Daryl and Rick came back with a few runaways.
"Now, we made a lot of noise. We want to wrap this up quick so you can send people to redirect anything coming this way." Rick said before walking to the front. "Tara said your forests are relatively clear, so we won't take any chances. No one needs to get hurt. This is just about what you have, what we need."
"Nobody's taking anything." A voice screamed and Eloise quickly turned, her gun still raised but she lowered it slightly at a woman holding a gun to Tara's head, a girl around Lou's age beside her.
