First Databook Character Sheets

Yoshi! @silalcarin asked me to do Hinata's concept art + Masashi-sensei's inteview (which, I discovered, is not really an interview, but a description of the pictures).

To be honest, I might have misinterpreted your request (maybe you just wanted the part regarding Hinata), but the interview was very interesting and I got carried away (especially after I saw that there was also something about Jiraiya). So...

Some terms you’ll meet in this interview:

- 設定 settei. I translated it with “setting”, “creation”, “design”, “character sheet” and so forth. Basically, it’s a character’s or a place’s concept art, to be used as a reference (it can be both for the artist’s staff, for the animators or for the artist himself, for later uses).

- 先生 sensei. It obviously means ‘teacher’, but it’s also the form you use when you speak to artists who became famous in their field: when they say sensei here, they mean Masashi Kishimoto.

- イメージ ime-ji. I often translated it with ‘mental image’. It’s a loanword from the English ‘image’, sometimes used as a verb meaning ‘visualise’. It has mostly to do with the author’s imagery of the world.

- 世界観 sekaikan. Literally, the ‘vision of the world’ (I translated it with various words). It’s the outlook of the fictional world, how the world of Naruto looks like. In this interview, it’s mostly used with the expression ‘slightly off’ (when Masashi-sensei decided to discard an idea because it would sound inconsistent/weird in the Narutoverse).

- 読切 yomikiri. ‘Non-serialised story’ (though I should have translated it as ‘one-shot’ or ‘pilot’ probably), as opposed to the Naruto serialisation. I guess they’re referring to this one. I think that’s something a newbie artist draws for manga editors, a sort of let’s-try-and-see-if-the-readers-like-the-story.

- 打合わせ uchiawase. I translated it as “preparatory meeting”, I guess that’s something the artist and the producers do before publishing stuff. It can also mean “previous arrangement”.

- 担当 tantou. Translated it with “the ones in charge”, maybe I should have gone with “supervisor” or something. But, ah, you get the idea.

There. The numbers correspond to the pictures. Anything between square brackets is something I added up to clarify my translation.

[Sideband:] Character sheets

The Nine-Tailed Mythological Fox Spirit

“This is the non-serialised Naruto”

The non-serialised Naruto had the appearance of a human, but he was a fox inside.

Though in the present setting the mythological fox spirit is sealed inside Naruto…

Before the serialisation was decided, I changed it in a preparatory meeting with the ones in charge of it.

The demon fox is intense, they said.

No matter if he takes a human shape, he’s a fox really, then the readers won’t be able to sympathise with Naruto… they said.

And I also ended up thinking something like… “that’s pretty true” (laugh).

“This is the Nine-Tails drawn for the first time”

This is the Nine-Tailed Mythological Fox Spirit I drew in the spur of the moment as the image expanded [in my mind].

And then, since I was pleased with it, I used it as it is also in the main event [as opposed to preparatory sketch].

I traced it with a lightbox (laugh).

For this reason, I drew nothing but that after all, the Nine-Tails (laugh).

However, also the appearance of the present world of “Naruto” spread from it in some respects. Of course, also things like the creation of the characters and the development of the story expanded.

So it’s like the concept art drawn in order to transmit the story and the setting to the staff, when you make a movie.

[I always rejoice internally when I see an awesome artist being a lazy bum. Because retracing a previous painting is something I’d totally do.]

The faces on the Hokage Rock [lit: the Hokage Face Rock, though I couldn’t find a corresponding term in English – it’s only called the ‘Hokage Rock’]

“There was a dog”

That’s the only thing that could upset the present appearance of the “Naruto” world from the root (laugh).

As a matter of fact, the Third Hokage was a dog, at the beginning.

He was the dog the Second Hokage had, an exceptionally awesome dog, so I tried to make him elected as Hokage in the setting.

Though I thought “It’d be interesting if a dog stood at the summit of the village, what would happen…”

However, in the end I thought that it would be slightly off with the appearance of the world, and I gave it up.

That’s why the present Third was supposed to be a dog.

So I changed it right before the serialisation, erased only the face of the dog in a hurry and it disappeared in the trash (laugh). I used the other parts as they were though.

Hokage

[Actually I’ve read a post long ago in Tumblr where they answered exactly that question, and my greatest regret is that I haven’t saved it and now I can’t add a link here, because it was freaking hilarious]

“There’s a heinous face (laugh)”

My mental image of the Hokage wasn’t quite settled at first. The first and the Second… I had put an x-mark on the First, but they haven’t changed much from now since the mental image in relation to these two was good enough; however, the Third and the Fourth Hokage are impressively different.

The Fourth had a rather heinous face (laugh).

Well, I had various things going on in my mind.

Design sketches

“The Grass Nin looked like a troop”

The Grass Nin looked like a troop but they couldn’t convince me and I changed them. So, I drew them again, but… this guy (on the bottom right) suddenly turned into Orochimaru, so… finally I was pleased with it and made up my mind about various things (laugh).

“Lovable pugs”

They are the ninja dogs I thought about when Kakashi uses the Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique. There’s also Pakkun. I like pugs, because they’re cute (laugh). When I drew him, while I made them chat about various things in my imagination I expanded the character’s personality.

“The mental image had almost settled”

The jōnin I thought about before the serialisation began… I mean, the design sketch of the sensei and others. If you look at them, it’s already clear who was going to become which character. Well, if the mental image came clearly, I kinda made up my mind in one shot (laugh).

“I just drew it out of fun”

That’s just what I drew out of fun, right (laugh). This was what I drew once to convey my mental image of Hinata to my assistant though. I intended to draw it being aware of the appearance of the world, but… it turned into a more modern-style girl (laugh).

Discard

“The huge guy was deleted…”

He reached the level of rough sketch, but the just huge and unattractive guy was likely to be deleted from the moment he appeared already. In the preparatory meeting with the people in charge, we ended up saying “he doesn’t make your heart throb from a reader’s point of view, right?”.

Moreover, it was the scene that shows Gaara’s first battle, so I resolutely drew it again.

[In the first caption, it says 金太郎とペットのポチ Kintarou to petto no Pochi. I’m unsure about the meaning, I guess it’s the ‘pet called Kintarou’. Apparently, petto no Pochi is something like ‘Spotty the pet’ (pet with a ridiculously common name).]

“I planned to use it in the Land of Waves volume”

Originally, there wasn’t Zabuza and I had planned to use this character. But I gave it up for the same reason of the discarded character of the page before. (Ah! It’s the character I had made earlier, haha…) I think just about the fact of making the enemy characters entry on stage, that is, how they’re likely to hurt the protagonists. [Twisted sentence here: I guess he means that when he creates villains, he also need to think how they’ll look appearing on the scene and the impact on the protagonists.]

“Serious taste…”

Naruto had just graduated from school so I thought it was okay even if I made him act in a funny way. However, it had turned completely like a story set in a school [学園もの gakuenmono I think it’s intended as a manga genre]… I had forgot about the whole “ninja” thing.

Sound effects lettering

Appearance pattern

“That’s incredibly unskilful”

That’s sound effects lettering practice. They’ve been incredibly poor from the time of the non-serialised story (laugh). I often practiced using various comic strips as a reference. Well, even now they’re not my strong suit really (laugh).

“Having a mental image of moving pictures”

It’s the thing in which I drew some pattern of the production of the scene where a ninja appears, or the scene where they disappear, having a mental image of moving pictures. Once inside your head, the action turns into a moving picture. Then, you draw thinking about the composition you cut out from there.

Signature

[The pictures in which he practiced his signature say (in this order): Masashi (with the ma and sa character written as one), Masashi (all linked together), Kishimoto Masashi (stand-alone characters), Kishimoto (above) Masashi (below, ma and sa together), Kishimoto Masashi (current signature).]

“That’s Naruto’s face together with the signature”

When I write my signature, I put the face of the protagonists. Well, that looks like the practice of that. The Naruto I drew here are all smiling, but I often thought what kind of expression I should do.

“I decided on the spot”

When the serialisation was decided, some friends came and saw me. So, make us an autograph, they said. That time, I ended up saying “Crap… I haven’t thought about my signature!” (laugh). I decided on the spot. Saying “Which should I choose, let’s do this” with my friends.

Jiraiya

“At the beginning, [I decided to] make a fatty middle-aged man”

I had decided from before the serialisation that Jiraiya would certainly appear even in “Naruto”, because of his fame in various ninja legends. At the beginning, I decided that I’d make him a fatty middle-aged man… that he’d transform in an unattractive-faced middle-aged man (like the picture at the very top) when he got angry or excited seeing pretty girls. That that’s why he got stronger when he transformed, but not good-looking. However, I thought that drawing him differently would have been troublesome (laugh). Though he was also supposed to use frogs that are carried on both his shoulders, in the same illustration.

Once, I made them do a two-man comedy act in the character sheet called “Husband and Wife Frog” (laugh).

However, it was difficult from the prospective of the design, so I also give it up…

[I love how he dug out his old ideas, years later, to create Fukasaku and Shima and Jiraiya’s Sage Mode.]

Summoning Animals

“The oriental dragons and western dragons are different” [Actually, it’s “dragons and dragons are different”, with the first being ドラゴン doragon, the transliterated English word dragon, and the second being 竜 tatsu, the Chinese dragon]

This is the dragon I drew thinking that I’d make it Naruto’s summoning. In my mental image, Chinese dragons have a thin body. And western dragons are chubby and have big feet. So, that is an overly fat Chinese dragon (laugh). It became fat and looks like a western dragon…

“Speaking of ninjas, there’s the mental image of frogs”

That’s Gamabunta’s first design. But in the preparatory meeting, since he’s a toad I added warts and made him a toad. Then, I also decided to make him express himself in the Hiroshima dialect. So, I said “I come from the Okayama prefecture, near Hiroshima, so leave it to me” (laugh).

Frontispiece

“It’s a compilation of ideas”

Before the serialization, I drew some reasonable ideas for the frontispiece. I’ve almost never used them though (laugh). However, the picture in which [Naruto] is gardening appears (JC vol.3 pag.86).

“Imagining Naruto that makes graffiti”

That’s what I drew while thinking in what way I could make Naruto paint graffiti on the Hokage Rock.

It’s also the picture I thought I’d use in the first chapter, yes.

“I discarded it myself”

I drew it to use as the first chapter’s frontispiece, but when I thought that to point Naruto’s gaze towards the readers it became unnatural, so I discarded it. It was also slightly off with the appearance of the world (laugh).

Clouds

“Anyway, I love clouds”

That’s the thing in which I just drew Naruto and clouds imagining a moving picture, not to use or not use it.

I’ve liked clouds since I was a child, and also the sky (laugh). That’s why I love things like comics where there are clouds and the sky, and fantasy in which the clouds are whirly like the “Neverending Story” (laugh). I think I want to draw something like that once, too, though. It’d be nice one more whole chapter, a story in which they fly among the clouds (laugh).

...phew, that was long. But very interesting (artistically speaking)~

EDIT (CLARIFYING TRANSLATION)

So, @silalcarin asked me to include in this post something we've discussed about.

Her question was: Were Ibiki, Iruka, Kakashi, Hinata, Anko, etc., were all of these character sketches the earliest concept art? Were these characters the earliest characters Kishimoto created after Naruto himself?

(Apparently, there's a dispute about whether Sakura was created before Hinata or not. Silalcarin also provided me with a translation, made by Koshej back in 2013, which you can read here)

My answer: First of all: yes, they are early sketches. The first line of the paragraph says 連載が始まる前に, which is literally “before the serialization began”. I don’t know where that “I have designed the characters at a very early stage." comes from, to be honest: the Japanese raw of the title says イメージはほぼ決まってました, “the mental image had almost settled/I had almost made up my mind”. So, the other translation is not *wrong*, content-wise, but it’s not what the text says (more like a free interpretation of it). As for the order of creation, I admit I have no idea. The text doesn’t clearly say if they’re the very first characters, or if they’ve been created early in general. I think it’s difficult to say which characters he created first… because I remember I’ve seen other character sketches, which Kishimoto provided at the end of some Naruto chapters (I remember there were Iruka, Konohamaru, Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke as well), together with some other he discarded in the end. Long story short: 1) yes, Anko and co. are pre-serialized sketches, 2) Koshej’s translation is not wrong in general, but mine is closer to the original one (that’s why I had a hard time explaining the terms, and sometimes my translation is almost unreadable), 3) there’s no way to tell which character was created first after Naruto, unless you’re Kishimoto himself I guess (or at least, this databook doesn’t clarify it here).

So, uhmm, that's what I have to say on the matter. Silalcarin also gave me this link (in which you can read further thoughts on the matter)

Last but not least, I feel like to add a link to another interview I translated, from the fourth databook, in which they talk about character creation and such (unfortunately, the part about Sasuke's creation was too difficult for me to translate, so once again I can't give an answer to the question "were Hinata and company created before Sasuke and Sakura")

Actually, That Was a Good Thing

A fire left Peridot with nothing and nowhere to go, she contacted former classmates and one of them told Lapis about the situation. Lapis let Peridot move in with her and they developed a friendship.

One year later Peridot met a beautiful woman named Amethyst at the club and they kept in touch over the phone.

Part three of the “Maybe That Wasn’t Such a Bad Thing” series. Read it on Archive of Our Own! (Or don’t, I basically summed up the first two parts at the beginning of this post.)

Chapter 1

Ams: Oh my god Peri, the Lil Butler reboot looks awful!

Ams: Like, it barely has anything to do with the old show yknow.

Peridot: I KNOW THE RECENT CPH MOVIE WAS THE SAME WAT HOW HARD IS IT TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL

Ams: I never watched CPH but I heard the movie was bad.

Peridot: BAD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

Ams: The Jem movie was god-awful! And not even in a funny way.

Peridot: I NEVER WATCHED JEM

Ams: Ha! Not surprised, even I’m a bit young to grow up with Jem.

Peridot: WAIT HOW OLD ARE YOU I ASSUMED WE WERE THE SAME AGE

Ams: 30 Per

Peridot: OH IM 25

Ams: Jeeze, you have to wait before your childhood shows get bad reboots. ;p

Peridot: ITS ALREADY HAPPENED YOUVE SEEN THE CN SCHEDULE

Peridot chuckled as her and Amethyst’s conversation about terrible TV shows and movies continued. She didn’t expect that cool and beautiful woman she met at the club to be such a TV geek.

Peridot faintly heard her phone ringing and lifted her head from her drool-covered pillow.

She groaned and squinted at her clock but the combination of tiredness and not wearing glasses made the numbers very hard to make out.

11:27PM?

Who calls at that time?

Peridot answered her phone and heard a somewhat familiar voice on the other end.

"Hey Peri, what's up?"

It was Amethyst.

"Sleeping," Peridot replied.

Or, at least she thought she did. It's hard for Peridot to form words right after waking up.

"Ah shoot, I woke you up, didn't I?" Amethyst sounded a bit guilty. "I just wanted to talk but I can call some other time."

"I'm already awake," Peridot briefly wondered if it came out snippish.

"Nah, it can wait, I just saw the latest teaser for the final season of Ninja Keith and had to talk about it," Amethyst was clearly suppressing her excitement. "Steven's asleep so I called you."

"We can talk about it now, just give me a minute so I can watch it."

The two chatted about the show until two in the morning.

Over the next month Peridot and Amethyst called and texted each other on several occasions.

Peridot never really had a friend before.

It was nice.

Peridot yawned while reading her menu, she had stayed up quite late texting Amethyst. This was becoming a regular occurrence which is unfortunate for early-riser Peridot.

"Hey," Lapis addressed the sleepy young-adult across the table. "You can sleep later, we have errands to run."

Peridot dismissively waved her hand. "I know, I just had another late..." she trailed of when she noticed a waitress with long lavender hair tied up in a high ponytail walking by.

"Cute girl?" Lapis asked, clearly amused.

"Oh no, was it obvious that I looked?" Peridot asked with a blush.

"Yeah, you can't exactly subtly turn your head," Lapis put her hand on the top of her head to replicate Peridot's sky-high hairdo.

"Oh, heh, right. Um, you remember how I met a girl when you dragged me to the club?"

"You mean when I invited you because you need to get out more?"

"Whatever."

“Yeah, I remember you mentioning a girl. Was that her?”

Peridot nodded. “She said she’s a waitress but not where she works. I didn’t expect to see her here.”

“You gonna go talk to her?”

“I... don’t know,” Peridot fiddled with her fingers.

“You’ve been chatting for a while, you should ask her to meet you after work.”

“Talking on the phone is different,” Peridot’s voice got quiet. “She can’t see me over the phone.”

The change of tone took Lapis by surprise. “She saw you at the club.”

“In strange dim lighting. She had no way of seeing just how bad my burns look.”

“That’s never been a problem before.”

“Yeah, well,” Peridot gestured at Amethyst. “I’ve never met somebody so beautiful and perfect before.”

Lapis took a good look at Amethyst. “Peridot, she has a cleft lip and her left eye’s really squinty. She’s not exactly perfect.”

"Those are such tiny flaws. This," Peridot waved her hand around her face, "isn't a tiny flaw and a significant amount of my body's like this. You know, you've seen it."

Lapis shrugged. "It's not as bad as you think. You only think it's really bad because you know what you used to look like. Amethyst likes you. She gave you her number and you suck at starting conversations so she must keep coming back to you."

"Yeah, she always starts the conversations."

"Knew it. I think you should go up to her. You two will meet eventually, wouldn't it be best to do it soon? If she is repulsed by a little thing like your burns then she's not worth your time anyway."

Peridot put her finger to her chin in thought. "You may have a point..."

As Peridot weighed her options she faintly heard Lapis talking to someone.

"Peri?!"

Amethyst's excited voice snapped her out of it.

"Ah! Amethyst!" Peridot's voice cracked in shock.

"Good to see you again," Amethyst said with a grin. "Wish I could chat but I'm pretty busy."

"What time do you get off work?" Peridot blurted out far louder than she intended. She could feel the blush spreading across her face and ears.

Amethyst had an amused look on her face. "I get off at four-thirty."

"I-i-if you want we could hang out for a bit then eat supper together."

"Yeah, sounds great," Amethyst said with a smile then rushed off to do her job.

"See you then," Peridot said quietly even though Amethyst was long gone.

She turned around and met Lapis' smug gaze. "I don't know if I should love you or hate you right about now."

"You should love me, I just got you a date."

Peridot arrived right as the clock struck 4:30PM she pulled out her phone as she stood outside the restaurant door.

It was only a fifteen minute wait before Amethyst came sprinting out of the door.

"Woah," Amethyst nearly ran into Peridot. "Oh hey Peri. Were you here long?"

"Nah, it wasn't that long."

"Cool, cool. Are you up for some walking? I'd like to swing by my place to change."

"Yeah, I'm fine with that. We can also talk and choose where to eat."

The pair started off for Amethyst's house.

"So Peri, what's the deal with you and Lapis?"

"Deal?" Peridot asked, obviously puzzled.

"Yeah, I know you and Lapis are roommates but are you dating or anything?"

Peridot nearly burst out laughing. "Oh no, we're good friends but that's it. Lapis graciously opened her home to me when I had nothing and nowhere to go," Peridot thought a second. "Well, I guess I could have moved back to Alberta and in with my dad. But to be frank, I really don't want to get on another plane any time soon."

Peridot nervously laughed.

“Chill homegirl,” Amethyst put her hand on Peridot’s shoulder. “We’re just hangin’ out. No different from our texts and phone calls ‘cept we’re face-to-face.” Amethyst didn’t get much of a response but she sort of expected that. “So what do you want to do before dinner?”

“We both enjoy video games so I thought we could go to Funland Arcade for a bit.”

“Sounds good and Fishstew Pizza’s close by so we could eat there.”

“Sure, that works for me.”

They continued to walk and talk and eventually they reached a large beachfront property.

Amethyst opened the door and led Peridot to a couch in the livingroom.

“I’ll be back in a sec, make yourself comfortable,” she said before heading upstairs.

Several minutes later Peridot heard footsteps coming from the stairs. She expected to see Amethyst but instead saw a short chubby boy with curly black hair.

“Oh my gosh,” the boy exclaimed looking at Peridot all starry-eyed. “Are you Peridot?”

The boy’s staring made Peridot a bit uncomfortable. “Yeah.”

He chuckled and jauntily walked up to Peridot. “Amethyst told me all about you! I’m Steven by the way.”

Hearing that Amethyst talks about her made Peridot quite happy and much more relaxed. A smile reached her lips.

But there was a kid to entertain. “So you’re Steven, Amethyst told me about you.”

Steven beamed at Peridot. “She did?”

Peridot giggled. “Yes, she did. This visit is a bit impromptu, if I knew I was coming ahead of time I would have brought some of my spare G.U.Y.S. with me.”

“You have G.U.Y.S.”

“Yes, I collect lots of toys and figurines. I have G.A.L.S. too.”

Steven squealed. “That’s so cool!”

“I dunno, I think it’s pretty nerdy.”

Amethyst’s voice took Steven and Peridot by surprise. “But I like nerdy so it’s cool.”

“I don’t know if I’ll ever understand your vocabulary,” Peridot said.

Amethyst laughed. “You’re an egghead, you’ll figure it out eventually.” She then held out her hand. “C’mon, let’s go.”

After saying their goodbyes to Steven, Peridot and Amethyst walked to the arcade.

They started off by playing some fighting games against each other.

“Wait, you use grapplers too?” the surprise was clear in Amethyst’s voice.

“Yeah, they’re a lot of fun and their designs are usually really cool,” Peridot replied amused.

“Dude, I pegged you as the type to use trap characters and zoners.”

Peridot shrugged. “I dabble with those. It depends on the game. But I always go straight for the grappler.”

They completely lost track of time playing the fighting games. Before they knew it well over two hours had passed.

The only reason they stopped was because Peridot’s fingers and right wrist were stiff and sore.

“You okay?” Amethyst asked Peridot who had started to bend and flex her sore joints.

“I’m fine, that just happens sometimes,” Peridot rolled her sleeve up a bit to show her wrist to Amethyst. “Skin grafts are a bit stiffer and more taut than normal skin so I sometimes need to do stretches.”

“Oh, I had no idea.”

“I didn’t expect you to, I only know that because a third of my body’s covered in them.”

The number really surprised Amethyst.

And Peridot could tell. “It’s mostly on my back so it’s not that bad. It’s the ones on my wrist and upper arm that are the problem.” Regret started to bubble up in Peridot’s gut when she saw Amethyst’s blank face. “Sorry, I made you uncomfortable.”

“Oh, no, nononono, Peri, I just- wow, I can’t wrap my head around it. That’s actually pretty amazing. You’re really tough.”

Peridot laughed. “I don’t know about that.”

“It’s true! Not everybody can walk away from a thing like that. You’re pretty impressive.”

Peridot burst into a giggle fit.

"I'm gonna keep saying it until you believe me," Amethyst wrapped her arm around Peridot's shoulders then poked her on the nose.

"I believe you, I'm just so relieved. I was really worried about how you'd react to seeing me in decent lighting. You're so gorgeous!"

Amethyst's face was completely covered a blush. "Whaaaaat?"

"It's true!" Peridot was now blushing too. "You're the most beautiful woman I ever laid eyes on."

Amethyst buried her face in her hands.

Peridot laughed slightly villainously. "I will keep calling you gorgeous until you believe me."

"You think you're sooooo smooth, huh?"

"Stars no! I'm the biggest nerdy mess ever! Luckily, you're kind of a nerd yourself."

"Ha, that's true," Amethyst took Peridot by the hand. "So, how about this 'gorgeous woman' takes a certain 'nerdy mess' to the pizza parlor?"

"Wasn't that the plan?"

"Yeah, but it's kinda late now."

"We have to eat anyway," Peridot said with a shrug. "I have a terrible habit of getting too into coding to eat so I'm kind of used to not eating supper until late at night."

"Oh dude, you have no idea how many times I had a pizza for a midnight snack."

"A whole pizza?" Peridot raised an eyebrow.

"Well, it was just a medium pizza, nothing too big."

"I don't think I'll be able to eat an entire pizza."

"We can order a large pizza, you eat what you can and I'll finish it off. Sound good?"

Peridot nodded.

While they were talking they arrived at Fishstew Pizza. They walked in and sat at a table.

"So what kind of pizza are you thinking of?" Amethyst asked. "I'm cool with whatever."

Peridot hummed in thought. "I'm in the mood for something spicy."

"You have good taste."

"Oh, you like spicy food too?"

Amethyst grinned and nodded. "Spicy's the best!"

"Then spicy it is."

Peridot ordered the pizza which her and Amethyst greatly enjoyed as they made casual conversation.

After the meal they hugged and parted ways.

Peridot arrived at her home and called out to Lapis.

"I'm gonna lie in bed, my leg's killing me!"

She walked into her room and smiled when she saw her little brown havanese curled up on her bed sound asleep.

Peridot sat on the edge of her bed, fondly gave her dog a pat then removed her prosthesis and sprawled out checking her social media on her phone.

Soon after Max woke up and took his place on Peridot's tummy.

Lapis came into Peridot's room some time later.

"So, how was your date?"

"I'm not entirely sure that was a date," Peridot said. "I mean, we held hands soooo... maybe?"

"Woah, slow down there, you're already holding hands?" Lapis' voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Shut up," Peridot was giggling. "We also hugged and neither of us was sad."

"So what'd you guys do other than hold hands and hug?"

"We spent a few hours playing fighting games at the arcade, we then shared a pizza. AndIwasfeelingreallyselfconciousafterItoldAmethysthowmanyburnsIhaveandthenIblurtedoutthatIthinkshe'sgorgeousbecauseshecalledmeamazing."

"What was that last part?"

Peridot's face was bright red. "I told Amethyst just how much of my body's covered in burns and she said I was amazing. I felt really relieved and then I blurted out that I think she's the most beautiful woman I ever met."

"How'd she react?"

"She blushed and tried to brush off the compliment. It really surprised me. It was as if she has never been told that before."

"That's very possible. Amethyst's kind of pretty but in a really specific way. You're into short stocky girls and piercings. It's actually kind of crazy how up your alley she is. And she probably thinks you're pretty attractive so getting a compliment from you must've been exciting for her."

"I guess? She did call me cute at the club."

"That's good and she thinks you're amazing, you two are also always chatting. I think you have a shot with Amethyst."

"Yeah, I think so too," new confidence began to fill Peridot's body. But there was a problem. "I've never dated before, can you give me advice?"

"I'm really not the best person to ask, I suck at dating. You should just go with your gut, it's working so far."

"Go with my gut," Peridot muttered. "Thanks Lapis."

"Yeah, don't mention it," Lapis waved it off. "G'night."

"Night."

After getting ready for bed Peridot sent a message to Amethyst.

Peridot: I HAD A GREAT TIME TODAY THANK YOU FOR HANGING OUT WITH ME

“Punx not un-dead!!”

punx not un-dead!!

October 16, 2013 at 7:53 PM

Helicopters and cop's every where...I think I just hered like six car crashes and an explosion. Also saw the guy across the street attack his lil shit dog and start biting it. Dog got away but then he smashed his own door open and started taring threw the house. Man what a day gonna take the chopper out and see what the hell is going on.

Day 1...

Went into town yesterday to figure out what the hell is going on...MAYHAM! People were tarring each other apart looting and fighting with not only cop's but with each other to! Started seeing National guard! But I don't think they were here to help. They started spraying the crowd with mini guns! Needless to say I got the hell outta there! Got stuck at a Walgreens... and figured hell if everything is going to shit ...fuck the Obama care im snagging what I need for meds now! got a good supply of stuff for Bail, Max and I. On top of a small amount of food for us. Shit I could get a bus a food and it would last a day with my wife and pets! Any ways. Trying to start callin some of the crew and others now...hope this crazy shit chills for the rest of the day...

day 2...

So I'm runnin threw the house grabbing every weapon I can and as most of you who have been to my place know I got knives and hand made battle axes brass knuckles and all kinds of fun stuff all over the place. Most of it I keep in a ol'school lunch box I carried around in high school that's collaged with punk stickers spikes and picks from old flyers...any ways...I grabbed all the gear got to the car and started pullin out all the useless crap we don't need to survive. Like old bike parts stuffed animals she found at a thrift store. You know. Shit like that. Well I'm doing so Bail comes out and says hay! what the hell are you doing? I told you there's no such thing as zombies!! Not realizing that coming up behind her is our ass hole neighbor Louy! Zombified! At that moment I moved her out of the way grabbed a pair of her hair sheers and burred them into his eye! He went down like the bag of shit he is! She then turns around and looks at me and says... Hunny if your going to grab stuff to bring to Lee's compound then please leave me my hair tools for taking care of your mohawk....All I could say was yes dear as I kissed her forehead...

day 3...

Just tried calling who I can in the crew everyone is held up in a Wal-Mart in Fort Pierce. I can't get there sooooo....on to I-town to the compound. Pulling out we start booking out of the neighborhood. Hitting a right turn of 2nd we ran into Bammas kids!! Literally! Vicious little red neck shits! One missing an arm and I think the others chewing on the head of the neighbor who's always yelling at his wife. Sick to see but at the same time I think. Is this the way the earth gets rid of ignorance and other such people who you would prob see in the movie "God bless America"? Any ways. We get out of our place and hit U.S.1 I start to do a mental check list of what we grabbed...rice, and a full box of all the food in the trailer,all the weapons, I.E. Shot gun and ammo and even the kitchen knives, plus the lunch box, a bag full of lighters I'v collected from shows and partys over the years prob about 50 or 60 of them, leather and jean jackets, two pairs of combat boots Doc's and Bait's two suitcases of clothing, her hair supply's plus glue and hair spray, all my books on zombies (even the funny one's!) the chopper bicycle and her Schwinn, a shit ton of tool's, dog, ratt,rabit, fuzzy blankets and pillows, all the meds, vitamins, band aids, a+d ointments and such things like that, what I could for c.d.'s and all my sewing stuff...(patches, safety pin's, thread needles ect ect ect...) Ok I think I'm good. We get to Cove road hit a right and... SHIT!!! Some middle aged yuppo flipped his truck with a boat on it...wait were good just gotta take him and his fat wife out! I think...get out with the hammer axe and get to him. He turns to start at me covered in blood I swing! I hit what he was eating at and get the axe stuck! SHIT! Again! He's on me! Thank the God's I got spikes on my rists! I dig them in his head they don't do much but knock him back a few but hey better then nothing! That gives me time to grab a blade out of my pocket and bury it in the top of his skull! I turn to see where the wife is...yep! You guessed it! I already took her out! That's what he was eating! I was lucky enough to put the axe right in to her head! I get to the car with Bail looking at me very wantingly and she lights up a smoke and says...I think he had a wig on...I said really!?! She said yep! Look at your blade. At that point I realized I still had it out...and damn if she wasn't right! I had that old yappos bloody wig stuck to my knife!! After I threw it out the window she said oh hunny...I'm hungry and we also need cig's. Can we loot that gas station? What can a good husband say?...Yes dear...

day 4...

Gotta luv some of my wife's ideas! Looting the gas station on cove was 1 of them realized it was getting dark so we got held up there all night. but back on the road now picked up some more food all the tobacco and a ton of lighters and matches...also scored an extra baseball bat they had behind the counter...headin towards 76A now... funny I keep seeing swirling orange lights up ahead hope its ok...get to the orange glow and what do ya know...its our youngest l.d.p. hooligan doing his poi! its Zack!! the kid is beating zombies back with his flaming ball's!! lolz! so we stopped to help out and I grab the bat I just got and start swinging on 2 that didn't notice us pull up...guess the fire attracts them more then anything...bail got out and did some ninja shit I've never seen and kicked one of there head's right into a broken bottle on the road! zack took the last one out by wrapping the poi ball around its neck and grabbing his blade and shoving it in its head as he pulled the poi tourds him...quite impressive I gotta say! so how you doin bro I say? eh another day in stuart he says... we get in the car and max makes for zack's face with a lick from hell we all laugh...we get further up the road and run in to a road block...2 cop cars and a military Humvee... looks bad...dead body's and a couple of zombies wondering around nawing on what's on the ground...look at bail and zack and all I say is...you ready? both yep! lets do this! 4 cops and 2 military zombies... I take out 2 of the cops and get a good swing on 1 of the solders but I miss his head with the hammer axe and just cut his throat...at that point bail takes the bat and knocks the rest of his head off and zack shoves his knife in the top of its head on the ground... ok grounds clear to move the cop car in our way. bail gets in the drivers seat and zack and I start pushing it onto the grass...bail gets out looks at us with a smile and says hay! look what I got!! a fully loaded shot gun in her hands! awesome!! zack and I look at each other and with out words start grabbing what we can for weapons and supply's...got out of there with 4 shot guns 6 hand guns 2 m-16s about a dozen hand grenades 2 full boxes of tear gas radio equipment and 3 boxes of m.r.e.'s...i'd say a pretty good find for us....get back in to the packed car and bail looks at me and says i'm glad we have food and all but...um...we can't loot any more...there's no more room luv...yes dear I reply and we peel outta there and finally get to lee's compound in I-town we pull into a dirt drive way with about 6 or 7 wiggling zombies hanging on the sides of the road...all I can say is...yep! lee's home! get to his gate with him standing there with a fully automatic ak-47 pointed at us demanding we get out with our hands up! we do bail and zack look terrified and I got a grin on my face...bail looks at me like wtf!?! lee says one rule u come here you take care of what's yours! you all got food??

Packing the van with plenty of make shift weaponry and enough guns and ammo that we can carry easily amongst lee and I...We reinforced the van last night and some of this morning with extra aluminum siding re-bar and other such things like that added a bulldozer front end to the front to move pretty much any thing in our path and added an extra gun hole on both sides of the van just in case it gets to deep out there... I also took the time to do a lil paint job with some rattle cans ...some flames and low down punk's on each side and in marker I wrote free brains under each gun hole...yeah it's awesome and bad ass at the same time! say good by to bail and as i'm leaving she says bring back some sour patch kids! and I love you!! ...yep...yes dear!! pull out and book tourds the hospital we decide getting there first we can get outta there faster with out my parents....hit salerano road where the hospital is ...ran into another 3 cop cars and a military jeep with a gatling gun on the back easily we take out the 7 or 8 zombies and do a quick raid on what's there about 8 more hand guns 3 more m-16's small amount of grenades some more tear gas and flash grenades this time with a launcher to shoot them with some flash lights hand full of tools and yep the gatling gun! get to the hospital running down zombies on the way we decide to go not to the e.r. but to the front desk instead. we get in and the generators are still working but just barley...with a machete and 2 crow bars we take out a hand full of dead heads before we get to the main medical storage...we both have each a back pack and a duffle bag.... we start loading up on bandages, insulin, pain killers, morphine, i.v. holders and maltable bags for i.v.'s...basically every thing we need to make sure no one gets bad if they get sick or any thing like that...well were doing so lee looks up at me with a grin holding his 2 bag's and says hay it's better then free medicare!! lolz!...we try and scope out what we can around the rest of the hospital and kinda lose track of time we notice its getting darker out and lee says lets go!

day 9...

I woke up a lil latter then I do normally this morning to see lee and zach finishing up mounting the gatling gun to the top of the van with a hatch that opens up to it with a make shift seat so we can take out bigger groups of dead heads on the road. my dad doing target practice around the other side of the barn with a shot gun and a small 22. my mom and sara are inside making breakfast and my wife is digging around grabbing what looks like black clothing and knives...so I decide to sharpen some knives and get a lil practice throwing them in to a target I put up to do so... a lil while later we all sit down to eat to a rather big meal of freshly killed bacon and ham, farm fresh eggs, toast with butter and fresh honey made from lee him self and fresh orange juice from the trees out side...it's always good to eat at lee's place the food is always real and good...we finish up and start getting ready for our trip to get bails parents down south. we start packing the van and double checking ammo, guns, medical supply's and food....finally ready but bail is still in the dog house (a lil room out side of lee's shed he built for me when I had no where else to go)...I yell out hay babe you ready yet at that moment she comes out and every one looks up with zach dropping his jaw and what he's holding, my parents looking like wtf?? and lee starting to clean his glasses and winking a bunch of times with me looking at her I start to laugh...she's in skin tight leather pants a tight black shirt combat boots with spikes in the toes biker gloves her l.d.p. hooligans leather jacket with a spiked out collar and make up to die for loaded with a gun on each hip and one on her leg and knives in her boots inside her jacket a katana on her back that she got as a wedding present when we got hitched and a double barrel sawed off in her hands...I look at her and say let me guess and before I could say it she says yep! you can't kill any zombies as a girl with out looking like a bad ass dominatrix! she gets in the van and looks at us and says well? we doin this?? um yeah lets roll lee says...she closes the door and before we get in lee says to me I don't get it...I look at him and say you ever see bad monster movies where the chic kills them like resident evil? they all for some reason have to be in as much leather as possible...the difference between them and bail is...she really can kick ass! with bail, zach and my dad in the back, lee driving, and me in the front we take off tourds the 95 exit south tourds wpb. Zach looks at bail and says awesome just awesome....I look back and say i'll kill you Zach. i'll kill you...lolz! we get to the exit and see there are some cars in the ditch and dead bodys and bullet holes in the car's then we notice millitery trucks and guessing they were taken out by the solders that are now dead heads and wandering around so we plow them down and get on the ramp...seemed like the 95 side going north was more packed then the south side witch makes it easy to get to where were going...we get to west palm and we need gas bad so we pull into a small ghetto looking station and check it out luckly the pumps still work...my dad and lee stay with the van and start filling it up...bail, Zach and I go inside as we do bail takes out the teller traped in side the register box with a quick shove of her katana in to its head. Zach pulls a pistol on 1 coming from the back room but I stop him and throw 2 blades at it. 1 hits his chest and he keeps coming, and the other hits him in the head he goes down...Zach says wtf I had that and I say noise bro! you want more of them to come? he says oh ok and with out looking to his right grabes his blad and shoves it into the head of one that was creeping up on him...I look at him and say now that was awesome! we find some new gas cans and some chipps and tea and head back to the van. we fill up on more extra gas in the new cans and head out...we finally after plowing through a bunch of deadheads milling around get to the radio station we get out and deadheads are every where we try as hard as we can to get threw them but its getting thick now and dark at the same time...we get to the door and her dad busts out wearing what looks like police riot gear and some make shift speares made from michrophone parts and other such things we get in and calm our selves down I check on bail and she is shaken but ok she runs to her dad and there very happy to see each other he says to her well you always did have an interesting taste in fashion and impeccable timming...I look towards lee and Zach and ask wheres my dad? zach walks tourds me and says bro... I say what?? I see my dad sitting on the ground holding his neck and lee shaking his head...I screm out no there is no way this is happening!! I run to him and start freaking out he looks at me and says son its ok we all have our time to go. I must say you may not have been much to society but in a world like this you have definitely made me proud to call you my son please tell your mother I love her and to never give up I can here him fading out and with his last breath he says I love you son...with a tear in my eye I see lee with a pistol he is handing it to me I know what I have to do... I stand up and grab it and point it at my dad. I wait and a about a min later he turns...I look at him and say I love you too dad and I pull the trigger he goes down...bail runs to me and holds me. We all decide it is a good idea to crash at the station and figure out what our next move is in the morning. pluss I don't think I have the energy or the mental capacity at the moment to do anything so I call it a night...bail asks if im ok and reminds me I still have her and that she loves me...all I can say is...yes dear...

day10...

Stayed up most of the night...we moved my dad into one of the offices at the station rapped him up in some curtains from the front hall way and placed him on a couch...it was the best we could do. bail did her best to comfort me and it kinda worked but I guess I had to know at some point during this zombie uprising that some ppl you luv are just gonna be apart of it...So we all get together and come up with a plan on how to get outta there we figger we have about 8 flash grenades and a hand full off hand guns and 2 riffles...lee and Zach go to the roof and start tossing the flash grenades 1 at a time to draw the deadheads around the building away from the front door and lead them to the back of the building then lee starts taking out any stragglers by the front door as Zach starts shooting off as many as he can tourds the back basically he's keeping them occupied...me, bail,her mom and dad run out the front tourds the van there's about 5 more zombies lee cant hit cus of an over hang above the door...I with rage pump a full clip into the first one to come to us and start kicking its head into the curb cussing it out....bail comes up and slashes another one's head clean in 1/2 right behind me grabs me and pushes me tourds the van and yell's I understand baby but now is def not the time! I snap out of it and realize what's up see her dad taking on 2 of them as 1 walks tourds me I grab the crow bare I had on my side and bash the one near me in the head and run up to one of the zombies her dad is taking on and shove the hook end of the crow bar in to its head and bring it down on to the ground it's dead...her dad shoves the make shift mic spear into the last one and when it hits the ground he takes out it's neck with the riot shield...we get in to the van and pull around to the side and toss a grenade as far as we can away from the building BANG! it works the last amount of dead heads are going tourds it. lee and Zach come down a set of steal ladders set up on the side of the building and rush to the van get in and we haul ass outta there we get to us 1 and hit right ... we all make sure we have no bites and or scratches and calm each other down. about 45 min's into driving lee realizes we went the wrong way! were going south guys...what!?! how do you know? bails mom asks I look out the window and see a sign that says 10th ave. and a burnt out building that i'm sure was a Walgreens...I say...cus we just got in to lake worth...lee slows down to turn around and bail says wait! lets go to the speakeasy! and I say hun I doubt there's a show going on lolz! she says no no steavin has a place above it! there might be some friends there!

I ask grizzly to come with us and he declines and says he would rather stay where he is and help out. plus what's south f.l. with out at least 1 l.d.p. hooligan hanging around? Reluctantly with out Grizz we start to leave and Spartacus notices that the van is a lil cramped he says hay Mad Dog here ...and hands me a set of key's I ask for and he reply's with look bro I know bailey has been dreaming about 1 for a long time and well.. I couldn't get to my other place in time and I at the moment have enough shit to deal with...I say ok bro thanx man! and we roll out we take ol'dixey north and I tell lee where to go to get to Spartacus's old trailer and we... start heading that way... we get 3/4 of the way there and hit a narrow road with a lil more then a dozen deadheads in the way to much to get around and or plow down so bail's dad jumps on the gatling gun and Zach and I take the gun windows her dad starts spraying them down cutting them in 1/2 and Zach and I start taking head shots on what's left...we get out clean and reach Spartacus's old trailer and there it is in the car port under a tarp...we get out and quickly take out about 4 zombies get to it and lee and I rip the cover away...it's a 1968 high gloss black chromed out elcomeno with white wall racing tires, leather bench seat 3 foot hurst stick shift with a brass knuckle handle, righno lining bedding in the back and an out law hood with a painting of an olive writhe with Oi! in the center over a big block 454 edelbrock engine! this elco is siiiiick!!! I look up at Lee and Zach and say who want's it? then realize Bail is in awww and frozen from what she see's...looks at me and says sooo do you like sleeping with Max?? I toss her the key's and me her and Zach roll out with Lee and her mom and dad in the van in the lead on u.s. 1 to avoid the dead heads and dead cars on 95 north...takes us about 45 mins to an hour to get threw west palm and we get to the tip of Hobe sound and realize its about 8 pm...we decide to pull into a gas station and chill there for the night cus we don't need and zombies rushing the cars on the road...get in side take out the teller and 2 other dead heads and start to rest for the night...Lee takes first 1 hour watch then Zach,me,and her dad...starting to get some rest with Bail I ask if she needs any thing she says yes! gummy bears! I give them to her and she says good night thanx hun with a smile and I say ...yes dear...

day 12...

Got woken up rather early Bails dad got us up saying we gotta go! now! We scope out what's going on and realize were getting surrounded by zombies! Well more then 30 or 40! Really didn't take the time to stick around and count! Zach had luckily in his back pack 4 flash grenades we find away to the roof and start tossing them to the far end of the parking lot it took 3 to get most of them to go that way...get threw the front doors with Lee and an m-16 in the lead he takes a good 7 or 8 down easy...get to the elco and the van and start to leave I have Bail stop at the gas pump and I start spraying gas all over the place on the dead heads and every where. we peal out and I throw a book of matches and the fire hit's fast! get about 3/4 a mile up the road and the place explodes with a small mushroom boom! Hauling ass north on u.s. 1 we finely get back to Stuart we get back to the compound and settle down and do a count on what we have for weapons, ammo, and other supply's were ok for now but a good run into town won't be a bad idea...I start to talk to my mom and let her know that dad went down swinging and that he loved her very much and to never give up. surprisingly she takes it well and say's I know he did I think I'll make some lunch now. I agree but feel worry as I watch her walk back to the house. I start to wounder if this is what catatonic looks like? I don't think much more of it. Lee and the rest of us decide to pack up a couple of bicycles to carry what we can back from in town in Indian town...bikes are quit so it will help to be a lil bit stealthy for this trip and it will save on gas. We are taking Bail's 3 wheeler, my chopper, and Death Fink. Lee came up with a side care for the Fink to put on and take off easy he is on Fink with Zach. Bail on hers and me on the chopper but we worry about how this planes out for tomorrow we've had enough for now and just want to get our energy back up and just chill around the fire...plus I wanna keep an eye on my mom...gonna go to bed early tonight and tomorrow we ride l.d.p. style!!

day 13...

Started working on a small trailer for Bail's trike for the ride into I-town Made it about 3 feet long and 1 1/2 feet wide. Lee thought it would be funny to make it look like a casket so we did. hooked it up and each grabbed some knives and flash lights, Zach and I with a crow bar each bail with her katana and an m-16 lee with the grenade launcher and a box of flash grenades and a first aid kit just in case...we ride out and its a short trip to the first gas station in town. We go in and decide to hit the tobacco first. A dead head teller comes out and starts wobbling Lee's way! He looks up and says oh ho come get some Ham beast I toss him the crow bar and with 1 good hard upper cut he takes her down then crushes her head with his boot her last gasp almost sounds like a snort from a dyeing hog...and he looks up and says now that's what I call a zombie kill of the week! I'll give you that 1 I say but last week was def Zach with his poi ball's!! Zach reaches for a thing of lighters on the counter and jokingly says yeah I got my moments... and at that moment another teller gets up from behind the counter and goes for his arm! with a quickness Bail shoves her katana into it's head and it drops to the floor. we check Zach who looks up shaking and says holy shit! no blood he's fine. Bail says yeah about those moments kid. We scope out and grab some extra food and a small glock behind the counter and roll out. We notice the Mexican gas station has burned down and up the road cars and dead heads are in the way so no checking on the hardwear store just yet. We decide to hit the Rin's supper market instead. The doors are open so we ride the bikes in I look up and say gee idk why but I suggest staying away from the fish and that I'm sure there are plenty of canned good's. Going threw we take out another couple of dead heads 2 with crow bars, Lee and Zach take one out with a broom and a mop from the cleaning isle coast seems clear we loud up on canned goods pasta veggies the normal crap u find in them, more tobacco, Bail and I grab some dog food and then hit the candy isle and she grab's a bunch of sour patch kids, twizzlers, skittles and other candy's that should last her about an hour I think to my self. We make it back to the front door. Lee and I leave our food stamps at the registers. Get to the bikes and as we try and get out damn it all! More dead heads!! We look around and notice tourds the other entrance opposite of the 1 we came in the last window is broken with about a foot diameter hole in it!! I look at Lee and say you thinkin what i'm thinkin?? On it he says! Like a fuckin terminator he grabs the grenade launcher and pumps out like 3 flash grenades Instantly the zombies rush to where they landed and we grab our rides and haul ass back to the gas station. What now Lee says? I look up and light a cigar and say ok we need a plane man. We're def not going to be able to stay here for ever and I still got my crew stuck in a shit ass Wal-Mart in Fort Pierce. We gotta get north bro! What the hell does that have to do with anything right now he says back? I say the hardwear store men we need building supply's to reinforce the elco and add better stuff to your van! Bail looks up and says what!?! Not the elco! Zach looks at her and says he's right that glass in that thing is ok but up against to many and were deader then the dead heads...she reluctantly agrees and we check what we got for ammo a few flash grenades left and we haven't used our bullets yet. but there's no way around the pile of cars and dead heads with just the bikes...shit! now what? ok we've been out to long and we won't be able to carry every thing on the bikes for what we need and any extra stuff we might come across let's go back and call it a night and take the van out there tomorrow Bail says...I look up with a smile and say ...yes dear...so we head back and clean up the van and put in some ammo for our trip back tomorrow...

day 14...

Took and re-loaded the van with a small supply of water, first aid and plenty of ammo and hooked up the trailer. Lee, Zach and I rolled out to take on the swarm of dead heads in the main street of I-town. Got about a few good yards from where the cars are piled up and I say ok we need to come up with some kind of plan. At that moment Zach pops out and points to a small gas truck to the left about 25 yards away from the cars and says Lee you think you can get a few flash grenades over that way? Lee looks closely and says yeah but why? Attract them tourds it and then we get a good amount over near it we can blow the thing up and take some out! good idea he says and starts to load the grenade launcher...I say wait! better idea! What? they say. Give me that! I go out and aim the launcher across the street a lil ways up. pop out about 4 flash grenades. The zombies start there way in that direction about 50 or 60 get huddled around a school bus and I start firing at it with the m-16 I'm def hittin it but nothing is happening Lee jumps out with his AK-47 and starts firing at a small section in the rear of the bus ...it blows up and eliminates what's there for dead heads! Lee turns and looks at me and me with a confused look says my mom and wife drove those thing's for ever. you learn a thing or 2 when your around them that much...well ok then... Lee looks at the pile of cars and says we need to move the red neck lil dick truck first but the front end of my van won't do it alone I need to pull it out first then we can get threw. you and Zach get as many dead heads to stay back as you can while I do the work. He un hooks the trailer and backs up to the truck with the tow cable and hitch. He rips the truck out and moves it to the side of the road and then hooks the trailer back up well doing so Zach, Bail and I start spraying down dead heads with the double barrel, and 2 M-16's. Pretty easy seeing how there's only about 15 to 20 left we get back to the van and plow threw the rest of the car's fairly easy. Damn that was pretty hard core Zach says but why didn't we take out the gas truck? Think about that for a sec bro I say...hu? Ok bro we go to the hardwear store get what we need. On our way back we get the gas truck and bring it back to! That way we can fuel up before we go north...duh! ooohhhh!! Ok he says. Good idea Lee agrees. We get to the hardwear store. Luckily it's been fenced in so no dead heads this time. We go threw the fence and break in with our crow bars and started grabbing rebar, medal sheets and pipe cutters, lights, all the machete's, a welding machine, a couple of chain saws and some other tools that might come in handy at some point. We get out and start to head back and it's late in the after noon but that's not the big worry at the moment...zombies! Every where!!!! The explosion from the bus brought more of them to that area! Zach! get to the Gatling gun! Lee yells you get some more ammo for that M-16 your gonna need it! I go in the back and see a box that says flares under the bench seat. I grab some and out of the passenger window start taking head shoots as Zach makes it rain death on to the dead from above while Lee with a hand gun starts driving and popping of rounds out of his window I yell get to the gas truck! We star heading tourds it and I start throwing road flares as far as I can out the window we get to it and the window is open I climb over Lee and get to the truck but a dead head is in the cab! I grab for a knife on my side but it falls to the ground Lee goes for his and hands it to me fast! right as the zombie gets to me I shove the blade into it's eye! and say can you see me now bitch!?! I get in to the cab and... Shit! Where the hell are the keys?? the zombie! I roll him over and there they are on his belt loop! I get them and it won't start! come on you half wit red neck mother fu...it starts!! Go Lee! go!! He starts plowing down what's left of dead heads and I fallow behind... we get to the road to get back to the compound and turn in to it...get to his drive way and its getting darker now...but we see Bail, her dad and mom Sara and my mom with guns at the end of the drive way where we installed a gate to keep the dead heads out. We pass them and they start closing the gate and spraying down a good hand full of zombies Lee, Zach and I get out with some guns and start unloading on them my mom is losing it at this point as were all trying to stay clear of each others firing path my mom starts walking tourds the zombies with the shot gun and empties the gun quick! then takes out a pistol and starts firing she starts screaming! You son's of bitches! you took one of the only thing's I cared for in this god damned world and now you wanna take my son!?! NOT TODAY!! NOT TODAY!!! NOT TODAY!!!! I scream! MOM!! NOOO!!! I try to go to her and Lee, Zach and Bail's dad grab me and get me to the ground...Bail and her mom look on word in terror and Sara drops to her knees and starts crying...I can't stop it as the dead heads take my mother... I sit there for a good long time with Max by my side as every thing calms down and just a few dead heads gnaw at the gate...every 1 try's to console me but ...I know they are there, I know there talking, but...I just don't care at this moment....Bail is the last one to come to me and she say...I know you've lost them but don't for get you do still have us...and we need you and we have to get north soon...they need you too...please baby come back to us....I look up and wipe some tears from my face and get up and walk to one of the dead heads still gnawing at the gate and say yes dear...and shove a blade in to its skull and walk back to a fire going on in the back yard with my wife...I look up and see every one there and say thank you all for still being here and being my family...my wife gives me a hug and says no...thank you!...

day15...

Wake up! Son get your ass outta bed! your gonna miss the bus! I walk out wearing a patched up cammo jacket with torn jeans a black Mohawk combat boots and my lunch box. Didn't really have food in it just random crap like a couple of mixed tapes a walk man glasses some shake weed and smokes and some change to get a soda....oh lord are you trying to embarrass us? My mom says as she's in the kitchen making breakfast you look like a bum! My dad says sternly. I gotta go I say as I grab some toast and walk out. I wonder of that boy will ever achieve anything my mom says to dad as I walk out the door. Not lookin like a bum he won't!! ... I here birds now as I open my eyes the air feels cool out side and I can smell fresh country cooking from the house the dew is still noticeable in the shade in some parts of the yard. I see Lee, and Zach are at the front gate taking out zombies with crow bars threw the fence, Sara and Bail's mom in the house cooking and Bail and her dad doing target practice with some knives. He's pretty good! and she's not bad her self I think to my self. Sara rings the bell for eats and we all sit down to fresh eggs, grits, o.j. and biscuits...it's quiet at the table then Sara asks if any thing is going on? Lee mentions working on the van with Zach and ...and...I feel like shit...words are going in and out can't get my vision to stay straight Max starts whining and Bail looks at me ..hunny what's wrong? You ok?? I hit the ground! ... blurred vision head ache thirsty, skin is crawling now...i'm in bed! wth!?! Baby chill! You passed out your sugar was drastically low so we feed you a ton of sugar and brought you back here. Yeah I gathered that babe...lil much on the sweets hu?...You need some insulin don't you?

Look hun i'm sorry you lost your parents I truly am but you have got to take care of your self you may not think you're no more then some street punk but to us well your a leader of sorts a friend, family and my husband. I don't know what I would do with out you. we sit and I think for a lil while and after a lil bit I look up and say yes dear I love you to. We walk out side it's dark now I must of went out hard. Zach walks up you good bro? Yeah man I can hang. Ok so what's the plane prez? Ok I would like it if it's cool with every 1 to ...um...get my mother and give her a proper burial...then after I think we should do a supply and ammo check then check and see what we have for gas and stock up the cars and vans and get ready to get the rest of the l.d.p. hooligans. We have 3/4 gas in the gas truck should hold us over for a lil bit at least get us out of the state or at least past Orlando if the conditions are good...vans 1/2 full and the elco is good to. Sara's car is fuckered but I think were good with what we got for now any ways says Lee. Ok then we figger out the rest tomorrow right now lets get some wood for the pit and try and get our heads straight. Proud of you baby Bail says to me...Yes dear...

day 16...

Had a dream last night I was at a hard core show and old habits was playing...I was in the pit thrashing as hard as I could with friends from down south and all of a sudden they all turned into zombies and I couldn't get out! Bail was on the out side saying softly I'm here baby...Don't give up...At that moment I awoke to the sound of gun shots and yelling! it was Lee ,Zach and Bail at the front gate! the crowd of dead heads got thicker and they were fighting them off threw the gate. Lee was yelling for Bail's dad to get Sara and Bail's mom to the house and to come back with the grenade launcher asap! I shock my head to get out of my daze and looked across the shed and saw the launcher. I grabbed it and threw it across my back and grabbed a mixed box of flash grenades and regular ones... got there and loaded the launcher with some flash and started shooting them tourds a car on the side of the road a lil ways up...re-loaded the launcher and waited for the zombies to go in that direction 3/4's did shot 2 more and ...direct hit to the car! it goes up in flames and takes out a light pole as well making it much harder for any more dead heads to get our way. Bail with the double barrel and Lee and Zach with M-16's I grab a 38 hand gun at my side and start taking head shots. With about 19 or 20 left we clear the area quick...we get back to the house and everyone seems fine for now. Lee says we need to do something about getting a stronger gate out there. We all agree Zach mentions the dead cars and trucks out side and moving them out there ..I look up and say it's not a bad idea but what are we going to do when we need to get out of here? Lee mentions getting a welder and a plasma cutter at the hard where store when we went. So we decide to hack what we can from two cars, a truck and an old Yamaha motorcycle sitting in the yard. We barricade both sides of the fence and put big enough holes in it to be able to stab threw with a crow bar and or dagger if need be. Affter all that it starts to get late so we do a check on ammo, first aid, food and other supply's. To many blades to count, about 8 M-16's, one AK-47, grenade launcher, a Gatling gun, a mini gun, 20 or so different hand gun's, and enough ammo to last at least till fort pierce...food...well were ok on that for now but at some point we will need to get some more...Lee mentions the dollar store in town and they have more food there but I say ...Bro the dead heads are getting thicker...he reply's hay man this town isn't that big i'm sure there's not much left...Sara says he's right if you go now and come back quick then we can plan to get outta here and get to your crew...ok then I agree but we go light. We'll take the elco Lee and Zach in the back and Bail and I in the cab...we grab some crow bars and hand guns and a few flash grenades and head out. We go the long way around seeing how there's a light pole down and dead heads on the other side of it holding them back. We get threw a neighbor hood taking out a small amount of zombies on the way with Lee and Zach taking head shoots as we drive by them. We get to the store and it's locked up Zach walk's up to it and shoves a crow bar in and pull's the door open we get in ok. Lee and Zach to the right and Bail and I will go to the left and see if there is any thing else we can use. They head of with a shopping carts and we do the same we end up in cheep hard where and electronics I start grabbing bungee cords and Bail is snagging flash lights and batteries, Bail see's towels in the next isle and grabs some and comes back to the cart. I look at her and say towels? She reply's with "Never leave home with out a towel cus your never going to know when you might need it!" I laugh and say ooohhh I see what you did there! Hitch hikers guide! Awesome! She smiles and turns around to grab some lanterns on the shelf and at that moment a dead head creeps around the corner and goes for her arm! I quickly grab her and throw her behind me and start pushing the dead head back! we trip over a sale rack and it ends up on top of me. we struggle and Bail try's to get it off of me but falls back too...at that moment Zach runs up and shoves the crow bar into it's back and pull's it off of me and grabs a Frainkienstien sign off a halloween display and shoves the steak end of it in its head! I get up help Bail up and Lee says we good? Yeah I got my fill for the day you? We're good. More caned food, dog bones for the pup's and candy and chips for the lady...Bail jumps with excitement and we start to leave I notice some thing at the register on the way out and while there putting the carts in the back of the elco I grab it. At that moment another deadhead comes up from behind the register slowly and this time I get the better of it and grab a nail file from a bucket of them sitting at the register for sale. I shove it in to its eye...it falls quick and I say this rose is not for you bitch! Get back to the elco and get in...look at my wife and kiss her and as I do so I give her a scented fake rose...I know I know corny but hay she like's that sorta thing. We get back to the house and its dark now. For the rest of the night we plan out our trip to get to the rest of the l.d.p. crew. We go to bed and I say thanx dear. For what she says? For helping me threw everything. She reply's with...yes dear...that night I dreamed while I about dancing at our wedding...no zombies this time!

day 17

Bit of a chill in the air as I woke up this morning got dressed and stepped ou of the dog house. BOO!!!! Holy shit! What the hell was that!?! ...Bailey...laughing her ass off with Zach and Lee joining her... Happy Halloween baby! What? Really? We don't have enough scary dead heads trying to eat us and you wanna do that?? I am soooo gonna get you for this woman! Come here!! I chase her a lil bit then get her and throw her over my shoulder ghost sheet and all! I look around for a sec and yes!! The out house!! I go for it!!! Get in and hold her over the hole...and...and...BREAKFAST TIME!! ..Oh you are so lucky hun! Saved by food. After seeing what I just saw down there I don't think I want food she says. Simultaneously Zach and Lee look up and say BULL SHIT!! She looks at me and says they know me to well...sure do fatty! Go to eat with my arm over her and sit down. Oatmeal in water, o.j. and pork meat in a small amount of potato's...I think to my self well looks like were runnin out of meat...least we have tuna in a can for th other meals and there's plenty of rice and flour for bread if need be...canned good's are ok to. We finish up and head out. What now prez? Says Zach. Well is everyone ready? Packed loaded and armored? Lee says yeah mostly. We got the gun's and ammo all ready to go in the vehicles and Sara and Bail's mom packing food and other supplys in the house and Bail and her dad taking care of the animals. Ok. Tool's? We still need to get them loaded...ok then lets do it. We start loading up whats left of what we need. bail and her dad get Max and Dizzy. They put Max in the elco with us and Dizzy in the van, then grab skinner (my hairless ratt) and put him on the dash board of th elco. He's good he won't jump down so no worry's on that. They go back and Bail's dad says to her I'm proud of you kid. Thanx dad. You got a good husband and his friends are good people to. He says. True she reply's...listen hun I gotta say something...what? she ask's. It's just that...if any thing were to happen to me or your mother i...Dad! Stop! Your gonna be fine... I know I know but just in case...I want you to know I love you. He reaches down to his key's and there's a key a lil bit larger then the rest that says cold on it. It seems a lil out of place. She says what's that? You need to have this key if any thing were to happen to us.Then he reached in to his pocket and handed her a laminated card and said hold on to this and do not lose it or give it to any one. Do you understand? Um...yes dad...Is every thing ok she says? He reply's with. As long as you all survive and do what I just said everything is great dear and kisses her on her for head. They get to lucky who is hopping around like crazy. Gotta put him in the smaller cage to fit him in the car. She grabs the new cage and her dad opens the one Lucky is in. He jumps out and lands on the ground! she tries to grab him but he's to quick! He zig zag's away and gets to the edge of the woods and stop's turns around and looks at Bail and her dad then looks back to the woods on his hind legs looks at Bail again and she stops and says i love you to. I'll miss you! He turns and hop's off... They meet back up with us and tell us what happened with Lucky but the other animals are fine...I comfort Bail and at that time Sara and Bails mom finish up packing what they needed to pack . We finish up and double check every thing and lock every thing down...I keep thinking that at any moment a horde of dead heads is going to come out and chase us off...nothing happened... We plan on taking 95-north in stead of going the u.s.1 rout we get threw the exit and head north pass the palm city exit and get close to the exit for p.s.l. and yep go figger a dead car jam! we carefully get out to check around... Zach spots in a truck a bow and some arrows and a bag of hatchets and billy club's. I spot some water in another one not much just a 24 case and then I see Lee up ahead sprinting back! what's up? I yel. Get back to the cars! dead heads and a lot of'em! run!!! We look in the direction he came from and...HOLY SHIT!! its like a gross walking bloody black cloud heading tourds us! With Bail and I in the elco, Lee, Sara and Zach in the van and Bail's mom and dad in the gas truck we race back to the vehicles. Sara doesn't notice the commotion going on Bail and I get to the elco I see Zach and Lee get in the van but her door is still open with no one in her seat! I see Lee looking around franticly. SARA!!! Bail yells out the car! SARA RUN!!! She looks up at us and then turns around the heared is right at her! She sprints in the vans direction shooting a pistol at the direction of the zombies! Gets a lil closer and run's in to a bumper she didn't see. Lee, Zach and I get out and start shooting in to the crowd of dead heads...it hardly put's a dent in them! Lee has to change his clip in his AK-47...in doing so she screams! ...They got her and drag her down to the ground she furiously starts shooting and thrusting a blade at every thing coming at her ...She takes about 4 down but it's no use! Lee is freaking out now! we all realize its over for Sara and sadly so does she...she takes the pistol as their pulling her apart and aim's it at her head and screams to lee her love for him and for us to never give in to these bastards!! BANG!!! ... Lee loses it! He empty's the mag from his AK-47 in to the dead heads around his wife. He drops that gun and grabs two revolvers at his hips and starts taking head shots at them. Empty's them and grabs a pair of brass knuckles and a machete and starts going tourds the crowed like a Viking worrier! Yelling VICTORY OR VALHALLA!!!! Ready to kill and die! I jump over the hood of the elco! Zach and I run to him! We grab him and throw him to the ground. No easy task but you would be surprised what adrenalin can do to you. I start yelling at him...Bro! I am sorry for your lose but we can not fall apart now! We need you! We need you to get your ass back in that van and get the hell outta here! Survive now and morn latter! He yell's out a yell that seem to even stun the dead heads and gets up and jumps in the van with Zach and says hold on kid! this is gonna get messy! Oh shit Zach says and buckles up and braces him self. We get back to the elco and Bail's dad says Lee clear a path then follow me!! Lee rev's the engine and takes off! Machete out the window in one hand swinging at any thing coming tourds him and the other hand on the wheel he plows threw like a monster truck in a puddle. With the gas truck behind him and the elco at toe we get threw . There's the exit for p.s.l. Bail says and then her dad in the gas truck starts blowing on the horn for Lee to follow. The exit is swamped with zombies but their nothing for the truck! We notice two cars blocking the exit at the foot of Gattlin blvd to p.s.l. Lee takes the van and goes off the road and passes the gas truck and plows right threw them like butter with sparks flying! Bail's dad gets back in front of the lead and we pull in to a storage unit just about a quarter of a mile from the exit by crashing threw the gates. It seems safe for now here. We do our best to comfort Lee who seems ok...for now. What are we doing her Jim? says Zach. Our exit is Fory Pierce not Port saint lucey. There's some thing I need to get. Ok let's do this and get outta here then I say. Bail looks around with her mom and says I don't recognize this place. You wouldn't Bail's dad says. All the storage unit's each say a number above the door's in black. We get to the very end and one of the numbers is in red... #42...What's this? I say...It's the answer to life kid he says...He opens it up and HOLY SHIT!! Gun's, ammo, m.r.e.'s all kinds of supply's! What the hell is all this?? Bails mom asks. If I told you I would have to kill you luv. Her dad reply's...Bail looks at Zach, Lee, and I...cold war. that's all I'm sayin...Lee and Zach look at me and I just say man I love this family! As I pick up a fully automatic machine gun with a grenade launcher, scope, laser pointer, the works!
