A/N: This is going to be a really long chapter. 2143 words to be exact. Hope u enjoy!
"Ahh I got an idea." I leaned over the railing and saw two old cars just sitting there.
"What?" Ellie walked up to me.
"You see those cars? Red ones yours, blue ones mine. Whoever breaks all the windows first with bricks wins."
"Are you kidding me? I'm like the brick master."
"Alright. Loser has to... answer a question. No sarcasm."
"What is this? Truth or truth? Alright fool, you're on."
We threw bricks but Ellie ended up winning.
"Yes! Brick fucking master!" She said, dramatically throwing her mask on the ground. I took my mask off with her.
"My car had tougher windows."
"Yeah, whatever, loser. Alright, question time."
"I'm scared."
"So... what does Marlene say about my mom?"
"Not much. I guess that they were friends even before the outbreak. Oh, and she said your mom was a nurse."
"A nurse."
"Apparently they argues and fought a lot, but they were close. Sound familiar?"
"Right." She chuckled.
"Come on, let me show you this thing, we're almost there." I walked away and opened a door that led us to a dark hallway.
"What are we doing here? Place is creeping me out."
"So, you know how we thought they only powered certain areas of the city?"
"Yeah..."
"Follow me." We walked down this flight of stairs and threw a doorway. We walked into the room where the circuit breakers were.
"So, turns out, the whole city has power." I broke the lock on the main breaker.
"They just flip the circuit breakers. All you gotta do is flip it back." I took the door off revealing a large switch. I moved aside so Ellie could be the one to flip it.
"There's no way this is gonna work." She flipped it and all the lights turned on, followed by an electrical hum. She looked at the lights and giggled.
"See? Told ya."
"Wait so the whole mall is lit up?" She looked so excited.
"Lets go find out." I walked away towards the door to the main part of the mall.
"Ready to see this?" I was leaning against the door, about to open it but Ellie stopped me.
"Wait, I... I know what you're trying to do, and... I'm really glad that you're not dead. I mean... I'm glad that we're back together, and-"
"I didn't mean it." I cut her off.
"All of the shit I said before I left. I didn't mean it."
Ellie looked at me with a big smile.
"Logan... you're such a sap." We laughed.
"Oh fuck you."
"Oh man." She had a bright smile.
"You ready?" I asked, leaning on the door again.
"Totally." She leaned with me and we pushed the doors open.
"Are you kidding?" She looked so happy.
We were back at the cars, but at the same
level as them. There was a carousel and everything was lit up.
"Told ya."
"Wait, won't the soldiers see the mall all lit up?"
"Nah, the exterior lights don't work."
"How do you know?"
"This firefly, Melanie told me all about it."
We walked towards the carousel.
"This looks fancy. Wanna try it?" I asked as Ellie hopped on one of the horses.
"You ready for this?"
"What are we doing?" She giggled and asked.
"You'll see." I flipped the switch and the carousel began to spin.
"Woah woah woah! Logan come here!" She giggled.
"Nah it's all you."
"What the heck? This is awesome!" She kept giggling to herself.
As it made it's way back to me, she looked at me.
"Come on, get up here! Sit next to me!"
"Alright, wait up." I got on the platform and sat on a horse next to her, disorienting myself but the ride began to slow down.
"Nooo... I just got on!" I sighed in disappointment.
"Fuck." I got a little sad.
"Well I loved it, so there." Ellie smiled at me which immediately cheered me up.
"Oh! I got something else." I pulled out a book of puns and opened to a random page.
"What is that?"
"What did the triangle say to the circle?"
Ellie immediately gasped.
"What is that?"
I continued the pun.
"You're so pointless."
"Fuck you, you found another pun book?" She looked so joyful. I read off another one.
"What did the cannibal get when he showed up to the party late?"
"Ummm...."
"A cold shoulder!"
We both laughed at the stupid pun.
"Here, it's for you." I handed the book to Ellie.
She grabbed it.
"You know, you might just be my favorite person again. Just saying."
"I know my best friend, just saying." We got off the ride and Ellie had the book open.
"Alright. You ready?" She asked me with her hand on the page.
"Hit me."
"I heard two peanuts walked into a park... one was as-salted."
We laughed with each other.
