Current Day, 3rd POV

----------------------------------------

It's been a few years since the New Frontier incident. Clem and Y/N traveled using the map Lingard gave them and searched desperately for AJ. They found AJ at a place called McCarroll Ranch. When the duo arrived, the place was on fire. They rushed in and took out a few people there who were shooting at them. They came across AJ and quickly left the place, stealing a vehicle to escape.

A lot of time had passed since then, years. The trio was now cooped up in a red Mustang that was on its last wheels. Y/N was driving it while Clem sat in the passenger seat, and AJ sat in the back toying with his revolver.

"Whatcha doin' goofball?" Clem asked.

"Pretending we got bullets." AJ says.

"Well stop. It's annoying." She says sternly.

"Can you stop calling me goofball? I'm too old for that." He says.

Clem was visibly upset by that, but she didn't let AJ see that. Only Y/N saw that from the corner of his eye. "Would you prefer us to call you shitbird?" Y/N says.

AJ laughs. "No! That's mean. You're a shitbird."

"Swear." Clem says. AJ frowned. Suddenly, he grabbed his stomach. "What's wrong?" Clem asked.

"Hungry." AJ muttered.

Clem then reaches into the glove box and pulls out a toy shaped like a piece of broccoli. She points it at AJ. "Hey there, Alvin Junior. It's me, Disco Broccoli! Word on the street is that you wanna eat me. Is that true? Do you wanna eat me?" She waves it in his face.

AJ giggles. "Come on, Clem. I can't eat a toy."

"That hurts my feelings." She says as she puts the toy away.

"My stomach hurts." AJ sighed.

Y/N then grabs a bag of chips stashed next to him and hands it to AJ. "Have this for now."

"Really?" AJ asks. Clem looks at Y/N.

"Yeah. We'll find some food later, I promise." Y/N says as he lowered his foot more on the gas, raising the speed from 30mph to 40mph.

"I believe you." He says.

Clem stared at Y/N and smiles. Y/N had changed a lot since she found him wandering alone that night after the New Frontier situation.

Flashback, Clementine's POV

----------------------------------------

I looked at the map as I dragged my feet. Finding AJ was going to be hard as it is, but now that I am doing it alone it's even harder. I stopped and found myself at a three-way intersection, one of the roads was blocked by cars that were flipped over. As I turned to my left, my eyes widened.

There he was.

Wandering up the road, dragging his feet. He looked like shit, and it shattered my heart. I didn't know how to properly feel. Do I feel happy to see him, or do I feel sad to see him in such a condition?

He had blood all over him, blood and guts. What was even worse was he had walkers on his tail, but it appeared he didn't care.

Had he given up?
