"I don't know...." (Y/N) said to Ellie as they ate lunch at the kitchen table. Ellie pushed the handmade poster towards her, tapping on it, "C'mon (Y/N), it'll be fun! You can finally show Jackson what you're made of!" (Y/N) grabbed the small poster and stared down at it, taking a bite out of her toast that she cooked over the fire, "I don't think Jackson wants to know what I'm capable of, Ellie. They're all scared of me as it is."
"That's not true." Ellie argued, causing (Y/N) to pinch the bridge of her nose, "They love you now! Ever since you saved those kids from getting trampled over, they've been head over heels for you!" (Y/N) scoffed at Ellie's comment as Joel walked into the kitchen, holding a box filled with fire wood. Ellie quickly looked up at Joel, "Joel, tell her to tryout for patrol!" Joel raised a brow and set the box down on the counter, "I don't know...."
"God, you guys are like the exact same person. You sound just like her!" Ellie exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air. (Y/N) and Joel looked at each other in disgust for a moment, furrowing their brows together before looking back at Ellie, "No we're not!" They both shot back at her in unison. Ellie gasped, a large grin stretching across her face as (Y/N) and Joel looked at each other in shock, "Stop." They both said again, at the same time.
"I think that proves my point." Ellie said sassily, as she crossed her arms, leaning back in her chair. Joel and (Y/N) pointed at her, "That proves nothing!" They said in unison once again. Ellie laughed loudly as (Y/N) slammed her hands down on the table, pushing herself up into a standing position before walking towards the door, grabbing her jacket before putting it on.
"Where are you going?" Ellie called out to her when she finally caught her breath. (Y/N) put her boots on and yelled back at her as she finished tying the laces, "Going to tryouts, what do you think? I have to get away from, whatever the hell just happened!" Ellie laughed and raced after her, pulling her boots and jacket on as (Y/N) left. Joel grabbed her hat and threw it over to her as she opened the door, "Hey, cover up, don't want you gettin' sick again!"
"Got it!" Ellie called back, catching the hat before putting it on as she left the house, jogging to catch up with (Y/N), "So where are these tryouts happening exactly?" (Y/N) asked. Ellie pulled out the poster and looked around before nodding her head to the right, "Just down here." (Y/N) nodded and followed her as Ellie led her to the shooting range that a group of people, including Tommy, had set up for the tryouts.
