hello everyone. This is the first part of "The Lost Mallrats" which focuses on those members of The Tribe that were lost, those that just disappeared and were never heard from again. It starts a few months after Cloe disappears in Series Four (I think, it's been a while since I watched it). The Techno's in this have taken over The Chosen camps which explains some of the other characters being there. It's written like a script mostly, with a few sentences like story writing (because I'm like that). These are just the first few scenes. I hope you like it.

Reviews are appreciated!

NOTE: "~" signals a break. Like a scene change, or a break in time.

Also I recommend "Wasted" by Cartel for listening pleasure in this Chapter.

The Lost Mallrats

Scene 1, 2 and 3

Cloe sat up and looked around the dark room. She thought she'd heard a noise.

Cloe: (speaking to herself): There's no one there, shhh Clo. (Starts to lie down.)

Two Technos enter pushing forward a young, light brown-haired girl who fell to the floor.

Cloe: What is this?

Techno 1: She sleeps her tonight. Deal with it.

The door closes. The girl is cowering in the darker shadows. Cloe is in a lighter area but still darkness. They are at opposite ends of the room to each other.

New Girl: I hate those damn Technos.

Cloe: You're not the only one. Make yourself at home here.

NG: The only place I've ever felt at home since the virus was the old Mall I used to sleep in.

Cloe: You slept in a mall? So did I.

NG: Really?

Cloe: Yes! (she smiles happily) Come closer, so I don't feel like I'm shouting across the room!

NG moves over, much closer to Cloe. Neither can see beyond a basic outline of each other because it's so dark.

NG: What's your name?

Cloe: Cloe.

NG: Wait... my best friend is Cloe. And you slept in a mall too?

Cloe: What's your name?

NG: Patsy, from the Mallrats.

Cloe: Patsy!! I never did give up hope that you were alive and well!

The two girls hug.

It's a bright day and KC is working in the fields.

The girls are led out to do the collecting of produce. KC spots them and changes positions so he can be in close enough contact to talk to Cloe like he does everyday. Only Cloe has a girl with her. The girl looks familiar.

Cloe: KC, do you remember Patsy?

KC: (looks strangely at Cloe) Yeah, pretty Patsy. She was great fun. I swear if she was still here I would have asked her out. I hate The Chosen, for everything they did. To you, to me, to the Mallrats... to Patsy. So are you going to introduce me to your friend?

Patsy: So you would have asked me out?

KC: Huh? (confused look at both girls)

Patsy: KC, I'm Patsy.

KC: No, Patsy's dead. The Chosen killed her.

Cloe: They wanted us to believe they killed her. I think Luke did one of his compassionate moves and just had her shipped off to a slave camp. This really is Patsy.

Patsy: That's right. He managed to get me out to the furtherest work group on a farm. They were very far out from the City. He didn't want me in the mines because of Ryan. Thought we might get together and rebel.

KC backs away a little.

KC: So they didn't kill you? What about the Guardian?

Patsy: No, they didn't kill me. The Guardian got too distracted to worry about a tiny little spy.

KC: Okay...okay... so you're really Patsy?

Cloe giggles and then looks away when KC gives her a glare.

Patsy: You tell me.

KC: You do look familiar. But if you're really Patsy then tell me- what pretend game did we use to play near the old resturant place in the Mall?

Patsy: (laughs) You used to pretend to buy me an ice-cream.

KC grins and then hugs her.

KC: Patsy, I never thought I'd see you again. I thought you were dead! I thought a lot of us Mallrats were dead. We're an endangered species now. Oh god, I've missed you. I never really thought I'd say that as a kid. Then again I didn't know what was in store for me or what growing up was like.

Patsy: I've missed you too. I missed all the Mallrats. And I'm going to hold you to the asking me out thing.

Cloe giggles. KC goes a little red but his smile stays just as big.

KC: I hope you do.

Techno Guard: Less talk- more work!

KC grins at Patsy, shyly she smiles back. Cloe rolls her eyes.

Ved lies on a seat with a headset on, drool coming out of his mouth. His hands twitch a little and he groans a little.
