Chapter 21

While Little Rock and Me was having a fun conversation, we felt that the RV stops. We then look at Wichita who was driving asking why we stop. She just points at Tallahassee who was smiling at us and said.

Tallahassee: Let's go! Let's have some fun. I'm feeling cooped up and I know you guys too.

We then see him get out of the RV and look outside, it was night, and didn't notice it earlier.

Tallahassee: Welcome to "Wantum your wampum"!

I see that the others got out of the Hummer and joined us.

Ben: So, what are we doing here?

Columbus: Well, Tallahassee got bored and want to stop for a bit.

Tallahassee: I want to give you guys a fun time. Come on!

Wichita: ugh, this should better be worth it.

Westlie: Oh, it will.

Then I look at Ben's group and said.

Westlie: Just humor him Ben, and I promise you. You will have a good time.

I smiled at them and started following Tallahassee while skipping.

Carter: Oh, this will be fun, I think?

They started following us.

Little Rock: Are you sure we gonna have fun here?

I look at her and said.

Westlie: Yup, I promise you.

Then Tallahassee stops at the front door of the shop and said.

Tallahassee: Hold up.

We all look at him and are puzzled why.

Tallahassee: Who wants to go first?

~Columbus POV~

After Tallahassee said that to us I then look at Wichita and thought.

Columbus: 'I really, really wanna impress Wichita.. but it would be in violation of rule 17… and maybe the most important rule of them all: Don't be a hero'

I then heard Westlie speak.

Westlie: Let me go first.

We then all nod at him, when I met this kid a month ago, I think? I was afraid of him, why? Because he has a zombie chained beside him and the teeth are gone.

And that was before, but now I can tell that Westlie is a good kid, too good for this zombie land. I then see him get his gun and said to Tallahassee.

Westlie: Tal, can you ring the bell, please? So, that our friend here will know that we are entering.

Tallahassee: Sure kiddo.

Tallahassee then rings the bell above the door.

*clang*

Westlie then hides behind the door and waits for something.

Columbus: uhm, what are you….

I was about to question him when I suddenly see a zombie in front and started running towards us. As it was coming closer to us, I see Westlie pointing his gun at the entrance and he pull the trigger.

*bang*

The zombie was shot in the head and stumbling in front of me dead. I was a bit scared but I can't let Wichita see that I'm scared so I steel myself and spoke.

Columbus: Nice shot Westlie.

Westlie then looks at us and smiled.

Westlie: What do you think? Zombie kills of the week?

Tallahassee: Nope, but maybe zombie kill of the day?

Well for me it's close, but no sir. The one who has the title of zombie kill of the week is sister Cynthia Knickerbocker. Who kills a zombie by dropping a piano at him, Poor flat bastard.

We then entered the store when we see that there are no more zombies. I then look around and spot the cologne section of the store, I go there and smell some perfume.

As I was smelling the cologne, I look at Wichita who was trying on a cowboy hat. I then smell the perfume that I was holding and I think it smell nice.

I spray some of it on my and smeared it on my neck. As I was doing that, I see that Tallahassee, Westlie, and Little Rock come to where I am. I panic a bit and look around like I was looking for something.

As I was praying that they don't smell the cologne I heard Tallahassee sniff. F*ck!

Tallahassee: Perfume?

I look at him briefly and spoke.

Columbus: What?

Tallahassee: Is that perfume?

Columbus: No, it's not a perfume it's Cologne.

Tallahassee had a smirk on his face and walk closer to me.

Tallahassee: I'm thinking… *sniff* *sniff* Lancome Magnifique. What do you say, kids?

Tallahassee looks at Westlie and Little Rock, I can see that they are smirking too.

Columbus: 'oh, f*ck!'

Westlie: hmm... *sniff *sniff* I think you're spot on Tal. *Chuckle*

Columbus: Why don't you guys speak a little? I think they might have missed it in Santa Fe.

I then look at Wichita while saying that and then they all look at her and the smile on their faces grows bigger.

Columbus: 'f*ck! Why did I look at her, especially now that Little Rock is here. F*ck it!'

Tallahassee then looks at me and said.

Tallahassee: Oh, my God.

Westlie: I'm rooting for you Columbus!

Little Rock: Oh, you have a crush on my sister.

Columbus: All right. Okay. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Tallahassee: What do you mean don't get ahead of you? We all know that you're thinking about f*cking Wichita.

Columbus: No, no, no, you guys are wrong.

Westlie: We are not wrong Columbus; we can see that you like the sister of Little Rock.

Columbus: 'f*ck I dig my own grave'

Tallahassee: Wish granted. Even though they duped us the last time we meet them, I still give you my blessings.

Then suddenly Westlie Sniff my shirt.

Westlie: *sniff* *chuckle* Good luck now, Petunia.

Then they laugh at me, I was a bit mad at them but what can I do? They caught me looking at her and I indeed like Wichita. Maybe they can help me get closer to her? F*ck this!

I then got an idea. I grab a Cologne and spray at the three who were teasing me and still laughing.

*Whiff* *Whiff* *Whiff*

They got surprised at what I did to them and Tallahassee was looking at me menacingly. If looks can kill then I'm already dead by now. I have to apologize to him.

Columbus: Okay. Let me begin my three-part apology by saying you're a wonderful human with great potential.

Tallahassee: it's okay. But FYI, I beat wholesale ass for a lot less than that.

I gulp at what he said to me and now I'm nervous, I look at Westlie and Little Rock to get some help but they just smiled at me. Little Devils!

Columbus: I'm sure you are.

Tallahassee: You get 45 percent power.

Columbus: Thank you.

After I said that, Tallahassee then punches me on my shoulder, as I get hit, I knock down some of the cologne on the ground and they shattered.

*crash*

I was a bit worried, then I see that the three of them are laughing at me. Then I see Ben and the others look at me worriedly. But suddenly Tallahassee spoke.

Tallahassee: Yeah, come on, break another one.

For a second there I don't know what he was talking about, but when I look at Wichita, I already know what Tallahassee means. I then pushed one of the vases next to me and it shattered on the ground.

*Crash*

Tallahassee: Nice.

Then I see the smile on Wichita and I know that I was right and break another one.

*crash*

I see her grab a vase too and drop it on the ground.

*crash*

Tallahassee: doesn't that feel good?

I look at the others and they have a smile on their faces. Then we started breaking things and begin our fun.

~sometime later~

I guess Tallahassee sometimes is right, you gotta enjoy the little thing, even if that means destroying a whole lot of little things.

After looking at what we did, we all look at each other and starts laughing. Then we go to our car, we have to keep moving forward so that the people whom we lost know that we are living fine and we are not sad anymore that they are gone, they can now rest in peace.

Hmm, that's a good rule. Rule #56 Keep Moving Forward.

Carter: Smells like perfume in here.

Columbus: It's not a perfume it's cologne.
