"It's a playground!" Clementine cried somewhat childishly as she could feel the days of her youth returning to her. Even Clementine herself found it hard to believe that she was still just kid. She hardly ever showed it any more. But after crying out those words she felt a little bit of innocence spark within her. The playground had several 'attractions', some swings, a sand pit, a slide, a round-a-bout and a see-saw.
"Been a while since I saw one of these" Luke commented and then turned his attention to Bonnie "Do you wanna sit down?" He asked.
"That would be nice, yeah"
"I'm glad I finally found you, Christa" Clementine said warmly.
Christa stared at the settlement as they gradually grew nearer and nearer and then turned her head towards the little girl "Me too, Clem. Me too"

"How about the swings?" Clementine suggested.
"Yeah, that would be a good spot" Luke said and helped Bonnie over. Clementine followed them, pausing by a live walker and stabbing it in the eye with her screwdriver, putting it out of its misery. Bonnie slumped down on one of the swings and Luke sat on another. "Why don't you sit down, Clem?" Luke suggested "You should really take a breather. We've all been walking for a long time"

Clementine walked over and joined them on the swings. The three sat in silence and stared down at the other side of the hill, and what they saw amazed the group. The falling snow was beginning to slow and instead the flakes were floating gently to the ground. The clouds were starting to part and sunlight was shining through the gaps, causing the snow to glisten.
Down at the bottom of the hill was a large settlement, a large town surronded by a huge wall, keeping the living and the dead out. It was Wellington.
Clementine turned towards Luke who had a bright beaming smile on his face. The young man was overjoyed. They all were.
"We made it!" Clementine exclaimed triumphantly.
"I can't... I can't believe it" Luke stuttered.
"Neither can I" Bonnie added. "I hope things are better down there than they were at Carver's place.

| I'm sure it is |
| Anywhere is better |

"Anywhere is better than Carver's place"
"Well, I wouldn't say that. There could be worse places. But I know what you mean." Bonnie replied "Looking down there, it looks almost... Peaceful. This is a good thing, I know it is"
"I hope your right when you say that" Luke murmured. "Do you think they can see us up here?" He questioned, squinting at the settlement and trying to make out any shapes that might be people.
"I don't think so. Not unless they have binoculars"
"They probably do have binoculars."
"Good point"
Alvin Jr. squirmed in her arms. Clementine smiled warmly down at him and rocked him gently.
"Things will be different now, little one. No more running. No more danger. We'll be safe. I promise you that. I'll protect you. We all will" she whispered fondly.
"You're not the youngest in the group anymore, Clem." Bonnie commented.
"That's right. You have competition now" Luke told her teasingly.
Clementine glared at him crossly before turning back towards the settlement below. There was a figure approaching them, moving up the hillside at a steady pace. "There's someone coming" she hissed.
"They friendly?" Luke asked.
"Hard to tell."
Luke stood up and moved towards the edge of the hill as the stranger made their to the top and paused halfway there "Hey, you friendly?" He called down to them.
"Depends if you are" the person replied. The voice sounded awfully familiar as Clementine tried to picture their face.
"We're friendly, in fact, we were making our way towards Wellington, you live there?"
"Yeah, I do" the voice replied, trudging through snow and arriving at the top. It was a woman. Clementine had gathered that from her voice. She had a dark brown hair, and dark skin. She also had an orange jacket and grey-ish blue jeans and was currently carrying a rifle.
Clementine's eyes widened.
"Christa!" Clementine cried.
Luke glanced at Clementine, the look on his face said it all 'this is your friend?' and then moved aside so Christa could get a good view of the eleven-year-old. The woman turned towards the little girl, examining her and then the baby in her arms.
The two stared at each in complete silence. Bonnie moved over to Clementine and took Alvin Jr. from her. Christa dropped her rifle in disbelief and collapsed to her knees. Clementine ran to her and fell into her arms. Christa embraced her in a hug and held her there for some time.
Christa pulled away and stood up, scooping up her rifle in the process "These your friends?" She asked.
Clementine nodded.
Christa smiled and turned towards Luke and Bonnie "You're all welcome to come to Wellington. And sure we can find a place for you all. Follow me" she told them, turning around and trudging down the hill. Clementine followed close behind.
"Well, I wouldn't say that. There could be worse places. But I know what you mean." Bonnie replied "Looking down there, it looks almost... Peaceful. This is a good thing, I know it is"
