M.Y.G. ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

Dancing queen

When I woke up, I smelt something good. Something cooking. I turn my head and see Yoongi crouched down over a small fire with something dead in his hands. "Good morning." He said cheerfully. "What you find?"

"A raccoon." He said and I nodded. Food is scarce so you have to make what you can out of it. Imagine it's a juicy burger instead of a dead animal you found in the woods.

I sat up, a hoodie falling to my lap. Yoongi must have covered me up with it when he woke up. How sweet.

I crossed my legs facing him. He starred down at the fire, watching the meat turn a light brown color in some spots. "So there's this river," he began to talk not taking his eyes off the food. " I was thinking we should change routes. Just so we can follow it and it would lead up right up to Cambodia. Through Laos, and by Thailand." I nodded taking out my map. "It's a long ways away."

Yoongi hummed flipping the meat so the other side could be cooked. "I think we should just head south from here."

Yoongi shrugged. "I mean I really don't care it was just a thought."

The air was brisk that morning. Chills ran down both our bodies. When the food was done cooking we slip it up and ate it. I tore the bones out of my piece and set them on the ground beside me. "Could use this as a toothpick." Yoongi said holding up a small pointy bone. "Yup." I said taking my last bite.

"So I got a question. How you got so much shit? Like a rag, a bar of soap.? Where'd you get all that?"

"Well my friend I was with died so I took all his things." He said seriously but in a funny way. "Oh." I laughed trying not to be insensitive.

"Yeah his name was Jimin. Really nice guy." Yoongi nodded, looking like he was having happy flashbacks. Wanting to change the subject as soon as possible before someone starts crying I said "ok well we should get going. The weather is getting colder by the day so the sooner we get to the camp the better."

We collected our things, having to carry things now that we didn't have our car. Maybe we'd get lucky again someday.

I carried my book bag on my back, we walked through a field leading to a forest in front of us, eye view away. "Goddamn I need a shower! Shit!" Yoongi yelled smelling his armpit. "Eww!" I yelled back at him moving a few feet away.

"There's gotta be a stream somewhere. I take one when I find it." He said. "Yeah with your unscented soap." I rolled my eyes. "Hey. It's better than a bunch of zombie following us."

Another thing you learn very quickly is that zombies have an amazing sense of smell. Using unscented soap is the best option so you don't really smell like anything. Making a fire earlier was kind of risky actually, but nothing happened.

Sometimes I wish I could use my Rose scented body wash again or my Dove shampoo. I miss smelling like something. Anything. Not just dirt and river water. I guess blending into the scent of nature is better though in our circumstances.

We continued to walk across the empty plain, tall grass tickling my knees. Soon enough the grass started to get lower and trees started to appear around us. Birds made chirping sounds as they flew out of trees. The crunch of leaves below our feet made me worry about our safety but what could I do?

Yoongi gasped and took off starkly me. I thought there was something chasing us until he started laughing. "Water!" He yelled jumping into a nearby stream. The water only came up to mid calf. He bent down, dipping the top of his head in the water to get his hair wet. I just stared at him.

He bent his eyebrows. "Turn around." He said. I laughed and turned around. I heard splashing behind me for a while. I heard wet feet get out of the water and there was shuffling behind me. "Ok I'm done." He said.

"You still smell." I said jokingly. He made an exaggerated offended face. "Bitch I smell like roses."

"And I poop rainbows." I replied mockingly and he rolled his eyes with a smile. We continued walking after collecting some water in our empty water bottles from the stream. "You know now that I think about it, I haven't listened to any sort of music in a while." Yoongi said out of no where trying to start some sort of conversation with me. "Yeah, I mean, how would we?"

"Yeah but it's kind of boring don't you think? I remember before the whole zombie thing my mother used to sing to me, she'd sing a bunch of abba songs."

"Who's abba?"

He gasped and stopped walking starring at me with wide eyes. "You don't know who abba is?" I shook my head. "You are the dancing queen! Young and sweet only seventeen! Du dun du dun du dun!" He singed really off key, adding little hip movements at the end. I laughed a bit and he stopped. "What you don't like my singing?"

I shook my head. "It's not that it was just funny!" I defended myself.

"Dancing Queen! Feel the beat! From the tambourine!" I heard shuffling in the bushes around us. "Oh yeeeeeaaaaaa~"

"Yoongi!" I whisper yelled at him and he stopped immediately. We looked around inspecting the area carefully when we heard even more noise coming from the bush behind him. He jumped back towards me and grabbed my arms. I shook my arm making him let go of me. I gave him a dirty look when his eyes widened when something jumped out of the bush.

A cute little chipmunk.

"Awwweeee!" He yelled reaching out and grabbing it. He held it closer to him and the small creature moved around in his hands. "I'm gonna name you Alvin! Wait no. Your to fat to be Alvin. Your gonna be Theodore." He talked in a cute voice to the chipmunk. "How original." I added sarcastically.

"Hey! I do not remember asking for your opinion! We don't need your snarky comments!" He held the animal to his chest. "Right Theo?"

But when he looked down the chipmunk had already jumped out from his hands and ran away up a tree. "Oh ok bye bye Theodore!" He waved to the animal looking down at us from a tree. I grabbed his hand and began to drag him away from the area. "I can walk by my self." He said taking his hand away from mine.

"You can dance, your can jive," he mumbled to himself shaking his hips as we walked. "Having the time of your life!" He held his fist to his chest and yelled. "Shut up!"
