It's been a couple of days since Amy and Charles "adopted" Magi. Since three mouths are harder to feed than just two, their supplies have run low. Meaning they would have to go on another food raid soon. When they had nothing to do they would listen in to the radio, this was their main source of hope.

Radio: *Music plays*

Amy: Chars! Chars! It's time, hurry!

Charles: Damm it, okay turn it up!

Every day, around noon there was a broadcast on the radio, no one knew who the speaker was, and yet they always tuned in to hear his message. His message gave hope to remaining survivors, hope for a better future.

Radio: Good morning my fellow survivors its yo boy Maco Paco here to bring you some news.

It was clear that Maco Paco was just his DJ name, but that wasn't important right now.

Radio: Hope your days are going well. For my newcomers, we are known as "The Final Frontier" and we are located in Alaska. That's right we have a sanctuary, a place that can keep you safe from the catgirls. This is an open channel available all across North America. The Last Frontier is opened to everyone, the catgirls can't stand the cold so this is the best spot to be. We have food and shelter.

Charles pulled out a map and on Alaska was a big red circle. This was their main goal since the first time they heard this announcement. The Final Frontier, that was their only hope now. Unfortunately, they were all the way down in California, San Diego.

Charles: It's a long shot, but it's all that we have now. Might take us months to get there maybe even years...

Amy: ...But together *trying to grab his hand* we can do anything.

Charles was quick to put the map away and get away from Amy. It's true that Charles and Amy dated before the cataclysm but that only lasted until Amy dumped him for a rich guy. Charles, still emotionally hurt, refused to give Amy another chance. But for some reason fate has brought them together once again.

Radio: ... And with this The Final Frontier wishes you the best of luck, stay safe out there. *radio cuts off*

Magi: Chars, is that we're headed? The Final Frontier?

Since Magi only heard Amy call Charles "Chars" she thought that was his actual name. She never asked and she was never corrected so now she just calls him "Chars" like Amy.

Charles: *nods* Yes, and hopefully we will find your mom and dad on the way there.

The three of them packed up and started walking up north towards Alaska, The Final Frontier. The real adventure was just about to begin.
