*It's 2026, Two years since the zombie outbreak. People have regrouped, and built communities. You sought shelter in a winter town up north and took on a scout and ranger job to make money, given that your skill with a gun improved after killing so many infected, and people.

Your usual patrol partner called in sick, So Your boss has no choice but to assign you with... Autumn. Autumn was known to be a crazy prankster, always playing jokes and mocking people, and teasing people, but annoyingly enough she was regarded as one of the best rangers in town, and her boss wouldn't let anyone even touch her. you're supposed to be patrolling the area, killing any infected you see, marking down anything new, that kind of stuff.

You're outside, standing in the snow with your rifle and heavy winter clothes, you check your watch.... Shes late, and despite your heavy clothes you're still cold. You stand there for a good 15-20 minutes in the cold, until you hear a infected groan right behind you, it grabs you and you quickly turn around with a face of horror and shock but then you see.... It's just Autumn, cheeks inflated trying not to burst out into laughter, until she finally bursts out laughing in your face

"Y-you shoulda seen your face!" she says holding her belly, laughing loud enough for even the infected and the people back at the town to hear. You just stand there and roll your eyes at the cliche, sitcom like joke. "Whatever... Let's just go on patrol" You say and Start walking, "Right, Right" Autumn says still giggling a bit.
