While Ellie complains on why they couldn't go inside in a building for shelter, she learns a little secret about Jodie.


"Ugh!" Ellie complained. "How much further?!"

"Not that far, just a few miles" Jodie said to her, still looking in front of the. Ellie's eyes widen! "A few miles?!" Ellie exclaimed while throwing her hands in the air! "That's too long! Can't we just go into one of those buildings and camp there for the night? I mean what's so special that we have to hike out away from civilization?!"

"We are not hiking away from civilization" Jodie pointed out. "Well, that's how it feels right now. It sucks being outside!" Ellie ranted as she kicked a rock in front of her. Jodie smirked a little. This girl Ellie is a trip. However, what Ellie said kinda struck her a little. "I um.." Jodie started to say but stop. But that didn't go unnoticed by Ellie. "Hmm? What is it?" Eliie asked Jodie, starting to feel a little concern. Seeming to find her words, Jodie turned to Ellie and said "I never been outside before". "You kidding right?" Ellie said with a raised eyebrow. "I wish I was. You see, I just wish I can live a life with no worries for the rest of my days." Jodie confessed -. "Hakuna Matata" Ellie said to her. Jodie appeared confused. "A what?" "It means no worries for the rest of your days. It's from one of my favorite Disney movies, The Lion King." Ellie explained to her. "Never heard of it" Jodie told her. Ellie was rocked to the core! "Shut up! You never heard of The Lion King?!". "I never heard of any movies, I been practically isolated from the world when I was growing up so I didn't know much about the world or having a real family and friends." Jodie explained to her. She then stopped in her tracks, resulting Ellie to do the same. Ellie looked up and saw that Jodie had a tear coming from her left eye. Ellie slightly cringed at this 'Gee and I thought my life suck.' Ellie thought to herself. 'Hearing her talk about her life just makes me feel bad. I guess Joel was right. I'm a very lucky girl.' Ellie snapped back to Jodie faced her and said "Hey, tell you what?" Jodie faced her. "What?"

"After all of this is over, maybe I can take you to see a movie. Just the two of us." Ellie offered. Jodie was touched. "Really?! That will be great! But how would we get the theater to work?" This caused Ellie to smile. "Let's just say, I know a guy"


Who's that guy Ellie's talking about? Please review! Hopefully, I get these two chapters out this week.
