Miles of nothingness. Looking at his compass, techno navigated the way. It wouldn't be long before the pair got there. They'd been walking for almost two days now. The tension between them could be cut with a knife.

"Techno, I'm sorry." Five whispered as they shuffled along.

"It's fine, let's just forget it and move on." He said this with a calm voice, Five could tell he was okay now.

Five stood to a holt. In the near distance, a big stone wall stood around the peaking tops of buildings. Bright colours of different materials and designs. As the sun started to hide behind them. Techno adjusted his position and stood tall, he took a deep breath. He had a lot of memories here, Five felt bad for bringing them back to him.

"I can go in alone if you want to stay here?." She told the man. He nodded then lumped his bag off his shoulder. Opening it he pulled out a flare and handed it to the girl.

"I will set up a small camp here, take this flare and if anything happens, if your in danger, use it." He said as he exchanged it. "Be safe." He added. Five smiled at him then turned back to face the city.

Beginning to walk closer she slipped the flare into a buckle in her belt. She should have been nervous but she can't feel these things that we as people should feel.  She clearly had walked the wrong way as there was no grand entrance to this tall wall protecting the city, however there was a small hole in it. Obviously it had been used many times to get in and out.
She ducked and slipped through the gap and before she knew it she was in. Even more brightness filling her eyes. Hearing laughter and voices in the distance. She climbed onto a path that stretched far in loads of different directions, sitting between rows of buildings.

Frozen. Not sure where to go, what direction too take. She closed her eyes.
A gentle tap on her shoulder sent her into fight mood. Whipping around she grabbed the body, pushed it too the ground then placed her foot across their neck applying light pressure.

"WOAH MAN!" The voice cried. Five quickly got off and offered them a hand. They accepted her help.

As they got up, they adjusted a black beanie that read off the words 'LAFD' across the front. Dark black hair peaking out from underneath, lightly covering the males eyes. Dusting off the dirt from their dark blue tracksuit. He looked at her rather confused.

"I was trying to introduce myself dude. No need for the violence." He laughed. He clearly didn't take it to heart.

"Sorry! you just made me jump, you really shouldn't creep up on people." She replied. She looked into his eyes and saw a kind soul inside. Someone who was full of joy.

"Yeh sorry about that. Anyway Hi! I haven't seen you around before are you new here?" Chirp-fully he said hold out a hand for Five to shake.

"Just visiting, however I'm not to sure where to go." She replied taking his hand and giving it a polite shake.

"Well I'm Quackity! You can either call me Q or... just call me anything man." He said rather full of excitement. "I'm just on my way to meet everyone, we are having a small party!" He continued.

"Oh cool! What's the occasion?" Five said.

"Who needs an occasion to party!?" He laughed back. "Well the next question is... Are you coming?" He asked the girl.

"I'm not invited?" She said.

"Well you are now! Come on let's go!" He said as he guided the girl down one of the paths. "I never asked, what's your name?" He added.

"I'm five. Nice to meet you Quackity." Five said with trusting eyes.

"Sick name man, very edgy I rate that." A smile beamed from ear to ear on the young mans face.

They walked for about seven minutes to the city centre to meet everyone.
