Cerena, Zizzy, and Pony end up at the store. "Remember, we're going for batteries and getting out of here!" Zizzy said. "Fine, but if I find any carrots, I'm taking them!" Pony said. "Psh, let's just get what we need." Cerena stated. "...The carrots here wouldn't have expired by now, right?" Pony asked.

Cerena grabs a blue key to unlock a door as she then grabs a green key to unlock a door before Dressa attacks her. She drop kicks the deer to stun her for 20 seconds before grabbing a carrot and giving it to Pony. "Here." She said. "Thanks! Now I can move this shelf out of the way!" He said as he pushed the shelf out of the way.

She grabbed some scissors and cut the grass to grab the purple key. She unlocked a purple safe to grab a battery as she gives it to Zizzy. She then grabbed a device thingy to shut down the tv screens as she got a yellow key. She used it to grab a ladder as she put it down to get up and grab the last battery. She gave it to Zizzy.

"We have the batteries, now let's get to the exit!" Zizzy said. "Come on pony!" Cerena yelled before Dressa attacks them. The three of them managed to get out of the store.

"Aha! Look who's back!" Clowny said with happiness in his voice. "I told you they'd be back before noon, Giraffy!" Mimi said to Giraffy. "A deal's a deal." Foxy said to Giraffy. "Great, now I have to cook for the rest of the week..." Griaffy said. "Hello Clowny! Hello Mimi! Hello Foxy! Hello Cb! Hello Griaffy! We've got the batteries!" Pony said out of breath. "You'll have no idea what we saw back there!" Zizzy said. "WE ARE NEVER GOING BACK THERE EVER AGAIN!" Cerena shouted. "Well is the radio ready?" Cb asked. "It sure is! Let's get this thing working!" Mimi said as they fix the radio up.

"Here goes nothing... Hello? Can anyone hear me?" Mimi said. "Are you sure it's working?" Giraffy asked. "... Greetings, we can hear you. This is Settlement Six speaking. Who is this?" The voice on the radio asked. "Oh! This is the Safe Place! How can I help?" Mimi said. "... We are looking for communities to trade with. We'd like to meet up." The voice on the radio said. "Where should we go to find you?" Mimi asked. "... Meet us at the Old Oak." The voice on the radio said.

"Looks like we lost their signal." Foxy said. "We should meet them. We've been living together for months without seeing another survivor." Mimi said. "What? No way." Cerena said, not liking where this is going. "I agree with Cerena. Besides, we don't know anything about them..." Pony said. "Is it a joke? I love jokes!" Clowny said. "No, Clowny, I mean it. We have no idea who these people are, and I don't have any reason to trust them." Pony said. "I agree. I don't think we should trust them. But, I still think we should check it out." Zizzy said. "I'm not going!" Cerena said. "What?! You can't go, Zizzy. We don't know who these people are." Pony attempted to convince Zizzy to stay behind. "Pony, we know how to handle ourselves out there. If we get into trouble, we know how to get out of it." Zizzy said. "Zizzy has a point. After all, we fought an army of infected all by ourselves at the plant." Cb said. "I suppose so...I don't feel right about this, but I guess we should try anyways." Pony said. "UGH! FiNe." Cerena(?) said after glitching a bit before turning back to normal. "You really need to fix that." Cb said. "Yeah..." Cerena sighed. "Then it's time to see some new faces! Who is staying?" Zizzy asked. "I need to stay. I need to harvest as much as I can before winter comes." Giraffy said. "I'll stay." Foxy said. "If that's the case, I'll stay too!" Clowny said. "I'm going to try and see if I can learn more about this radio." Mimi said. "Then it looks like it's us four!" Zizzy said. "Let's go meet some survivors!" Cb said. "I have a feeling about this...and it ain't a good one." Cerena said.

The four of them end up at the old oak. After some time waiting, Pony decided to speak. "Are you sure this is the place? We haven't seen anyone." He said before a group came out from the trees. "Well, well, well... Look at these familiar faces!" The wolf said. "Oh no." Pony and Cb realized who it was. "Pony, the ex-member. It's a shame you left us." Willow said to Pony. Cerena was a bit confused by this. "You were a very good friend. It's too bad you are nothing to me now." Willow finished as she went on to Cb. "Circus_Baby22119, or should I call you Cb? The officer who took me away from my family." She said. Cerena was a bit shocked. Was Circus_Baby22119 Cb's real name or what? "Must've felt good to rip me away from the ones I cared about, right?" Willow said as she moved on to Cerena and Zizzy. "And who might you two be? You two are certainly people I've never seen before." She said as Cerena tried to back up. "Ahem- personal space-" Cerena tried to say before a TSP member pushed her forward. "You may not know me, but I know everything about you and your sick crew." Zizzy said. "Is that so? I suppose Pony told you a lot about us, didn't he, sweetheart?" Willow asked, knowing she won't get a answer. "That was one of his many flaws, heh. He could never keep his mouth shut." She said. "The fuck do you want from us?!" Cerena nearly glitched. "Hmm...a good question...what to do, what to do...?" Willow asked herself before coming up with a idea. "Ooh, I know! Take the demon and the zebra with us. Leave the two to rot." She said. "What?! No! I'm not coming with you!" Cerena yelled. "Leave them alone!" Pony shouted before Willow took out a gun. "Woah, woah, woah! Hold your horses! I don't want to hurt anyone." Willow said, pointing the gun at Cerena. "I'm just taking the zebra for questioning and the demon for testing, that's all." She said which made Cerena's ink run cold. "It's okay, Pony. We'll stay safe and come back, I promise." Zizzy said. "I...I'm not..." Cerena attempted to find words to say but she couldn't. "Well, no matter! Now, let's get out of here." Willow said as the TSP members grab Zizzy and Cerena and walk away but Willow stayed behind. "And don't you think about following us." She said before walking away with her group, leaving Circus_Baby22119 and Pony there. "Zizzy...Cerena..." Pony tried to calm down. "Why did they want to test on Cerena so badly?" Circus_Baby22119 asked. "... Their the silver paw. When the infection broke out, I needed to find a group. Unfortunately, I was stuck with them. They did awful things, but I was too scared to leave." Pony explained. "What made you leave them?" Circus_Baby22119 asked. "That's a story for another time. We need to go save Cerena and Zizzy before we're too late." He said. "Shouldn't we tell the others?" She asked. "There's no time, Cb. I need you now. I can't do this alone." Pony said.

"Alright, let's follow them."
