Survival Mode

Epilogue

Hello there, again. It's me, Dashi Smith. It's been awhile since I wrote in this journal. We've finally been saved! We're heading to New York City now, and I couldn't be happier. We're all together... There have been new additions to the group. Emily, Heather's 13 year old sister, joined us 2 weeks ago. And just moments ago, I helped Tweak give birth to a beautiful, baby girl named Hope.

Shellington and I are finally together. It's taken six months. Has it really been that long since the zombie apocalypse began? It seems like yesterday I was taking a stroll in the garden when I saw a zombie for the first time.

Awh, young love. Tominnow and Tunip are so in love, despite their age. I know in the future, those two are bound for each other. Tweak and Kwazii have been reunited. Once we arrive in NYC, they want to start planning a wedding. I think they're sharing their wedding day with Heather and Malcolm. At least, that's what I've heard. Kate and Peso seem happy. Peso told me once, after the zombie apocalypse, he was going to find his family. There's no doubt Kate will go with him.

My father is dead... He and I were just getting close again. I miss him terribly, but knowing he's in a better place now gives me comfort. Whether he was bothersome or not, I loved him. I have always loved him.

Guess what? I'm finally over Michael! If anyone ever reads this, I bet you're jumping up and down singing hallelujah! Turns out, he was a complete jerk. He broke Shellington's nose. It's healing, though. I had Peso check it and he said it wasn't too bad of a break. It would be all better within 2 or 3 weeks.

Carter's dead. He wanted me, but he doesn't get to have me ;) haha! I'm all Shellingon's. I love him with all my heart. He understood me better than Michael did. That's why I'm proud to call him my boyfriend. I made a strong move this morning and told him, someday, I want to be Mrs. Bjorgman. I really do! I told Shellington I don't want kids, but I was just messing with him. Of course I do! I love kids! I bonded pretty well with Tunip and Tominnow. However, Shellington and I plan to take things slow. No offense to Tweak and Kwazii, but I don't want to end up like them. OHMYGOD I just snorted out loud.

Anyways... Our helicopter pilot just told us NYC is now an hour away. I'm excited to finally start a new life with the man I love.

I best be going. Shellington's watching me write. - Dashi

Dashi quickly closed her journal and looked up at Shellington. She smirked at him. "Are you watching me, Mr. Bjorgman?"

"You told me you didn't want kids," Shellington laughed. He cupped Dashi's face and smirked at her. "Your snorts are cute."

She blushed. "Shut up, okay? I wrote something that made me laugh." Shellington chuckled and placed his lips on Dashi's. The two shared a brief kiss, then pulled away.

Shellington turned to Tunip with a smile. "Hey, Tunip? When we reach NYC, you and me are going to get to know each other better. I'm tired of the two of us constantly fighting." Tunip smiled up at him and put his arms around Shellington's neck.

Dashi looked out the helicopter window. Beside them, was Tweak, Hope, Kwazii, and Kate in their own helicopter. Kwazii and Tweak were staring down at Hope with smiles plastered to their faces. Kate was looking out her window, obviously communicating with Peso who was in a different helicopter beside them with Emily, Heather, and Malcolm.

They were all together. A smile formed on Dashi's lips. She knew no matter what, they were all one big family now, and nothing... not even zombies... could separate them.
