Y/N's POV

Me and Clem were still sitting on the train with each other. I saw Lee walk up to us. He sat down in the middle of us.

Lee: You two want to talk?

Clementine: Uh uh.

Lee: You two understand what happened?

Y/N: Yes.

Lee: Okay. What are you two thinking about?

Clementine: What Chuck said.

Lee: What'd Chuck say?

Y/N: That what happened to Duck would happen to her.

Lee: What? The fuck he did.

Clementine: Swear.

Lee: Sorry. I'm gonna go talk some sense into him.

Clementine: Don't be mad.

Lee then walked off. I looked at Clem to see that she was still sad. I wrap my arm around her and pull her closer to me.

Y/N: Don't worry Clem. Everything will be alright.

I then give her a smile. She smiled back at me. She then laid her head on my shoulder. Later Lee came back.

Lee: Hey Clem and Y/N.

Y/N: Did you talk to him?

Lee: I did, he had some, uh... he explained himself and made some good points. Look Clem, We're not going to let anything bad happen to you. But there are some precautions we have to take.

Y/N: Yeah. I won't let you get hurt Clem.

Clem then smiled at me and Lee.

Clementine: Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

Lee: Don't worry sweet heart.

Clementine: Okay. What should we do?

Lee: Well, we're going to figure out a plan for when we get to Savannah, teach you how to protect yourself and, uh, tidy you up a little so you can't get grabbed easily.

Clementine: I like that!

Lee: Good. But you won't like this.

He then gets out scissors. 

Clementine: You're cutting my hair?!

Lee: Remember when Andy St. John grabbed it? And me and Y/N got mad?

Clementine: Yeah.

Well that could happen again. And if it's a walker, well.... We need to trim it.

Clementine: Just a trim, right?

Lee: I need to cut it short enough so that it can't be grabbed.

Clementine: Okay.

He then started cutting her hair.

Clementine: I'm gonna look like a boy.

Y/N: What's wrong with looking like a boy?

Lee: Thank about how safer you will be.

Clementine: I will rather be dead.

Lee: Hey.

He then finished. Clem felt it and her head dropped.

Clementine: Does it look dumb?

Lee: No, you look cute, and a lot harder to grab.

Y/N: Yeah. You look pretty with the hair.

Clem blushed at my comment on her hair.

Lee: Now we need to have a plan. When we get to Savannah. We are a team.

Clementine: Okay. 

Y/N: I like that.

Lee: We need to find a boat. It is our best bet of safety.

Clementine: What about my parents? I don't care about safety. I want to find them.

Y/N: We will look for them Clem.

She then looks at me excited.

Clementine: Really?!

Y/N: Yeah.

I then look at Lee.

Y/N: Right?!

Lee: I'm sorry. We will. Let's look at the map. And see if we can find them.

Clementine: They might be at the M-M-Mar....

Y/N: Marsh House?

Clementine: Yes, that's it!

Y/N: We will head there.

Clementine: Yes!

Lee: Then we go here for the boat. Think we got a good plan.

Y/N: Yes.

Lee: Now. You need to know how to protect yourself.

Clementine: Like hiding or running away, got it.

I chuckle at her innocence. 

Lee: I mean with one of these.

Clementine: Oh.

Lee: First. don't be afraid of it. It's just a thing. Take it. But know where your finger is at all time. And don't put it on the trigger unless you want to hurt somebody.

She then gives her the gun.

Clementine: Okay. Okay.

Lee: See, it's not scary.

Clementine: It's heavy.

Lee: You will get stronger. To aim, you look right down the top, through that notch. Have Y/N show you. 

Y/N: With pleasure.

Lee puts up a bottle and I get my pistol out. I aim and shoot the bottle.

Clementine: Whoa.

Lee: See. Line up the site at the end with your target.

Clementine: Is there anything else I should know?

Y/N: You have to aim for the head.

Clementine: I know. Only the head.

Y/N: Unless it's a person. Then shoot anywhere.

Lee's puts up another bottle.

Y/N: Good. Don't lock your elbows.

Lee: Okay, let's take your first shot. Squeeze the trigger smoothly and I'll cover your ears. Nice and easy.

Clementine: Nice and easy.

Then she shot and completely missed.

Clementine: EEP!

Lee: Are you okay?

Clementine: My hands hurt. I don't like this.

Lee: Let's stick with it, okay?

Clementine: Do I have to?

Y/N: Yeah, you do.

She went again after Lee telling her where to aim. She shot it.

Clementine: I got it!

Lee: Good shot!

I put another bottle up. She shot it first try.

Clementine: I did it!

Y/N: Good job Clem!

I put my hand up for a high five. She gave me one. Then we heard Kenny yell.

Kenny: OH, SHIT! HOLD ON EVERYBODY!

Then the train stops.
