	Fluffy woke first in the hotel. He slowly walked to his bathroom and cleaned up like every other day. He got dressed and proceed to the hallway to see if the Scavengers had returned. Almost immediately, Fluffy noticed smoke billowing out from underneath the door to Wahlburn’s room. Assuming that there had been a fire, he ran to the door and started banging as hard as he could to wake anyone inside. Soon the door opened slowly and Spike come out from a cloud of smoke.
“What’s the deal, bro?” asked Spike.
“Is there a fire, are you alright?” replied Fluffy, looking around nervously.
“Nah bro, we’re just chillin’ out, if you know what I mean.” Spike coughed on on his words.
“We’re? Who else is in there, I can’t see for shit this smoke.” Just as he finished his sentence, Cannon appeared through the smoke and asked what was going on. “Woah, you’re back?”
“No shit, what’s up?” said Cannon in a mellow voice.
“Did you guys make it out alright?”
“Totally, we also have a new guest.”
“Who?”
“Sup,” said Pharlin appearing from the corner of the room.
“Is that Pharlin I hear?” said Fluffy, looking over Cannon’s shoulder.
“Yeah it fucking is, get your ass over here,” he replied with a grin.
Fluffy cut through the thick smoke and took a seat on the bed, he looked over and saw Patel and Wahlburn watching TV.
“What’s up man?” asked Wahlburn and Patel.
“Nothing much, shit went down yesterday, though. Shit was crazy.” Fluffy took a deep sigh.
“Like what?” asked Cannon who walked over to them, “Spike didn’t tell us anything.”
“Well I’m not sure how it started, but I was just sitting in my room watching the Mexicolt channel, when I heard yelling. So I step out into the hallway and would you believe the weirdest thing, Poncho and Clyde fighting, literally. I also heard Poncho call Clyde a ‘butt humper’, laughed pretty hard to be honest. Next thing I know, Tyrone and Rivs broke up the fight.”
“Then what?” asked Cannon.
Fluffy cleared his throat. “Clyde was pissed, so pissed he just vanished, and I guess Rarity went with him. Poncho has just been in his room all yesterday, maybe we’ll see him today.”
“Do you have any idea where they went?”
“No clue, those two are probably dead by now.” Fluffy waved away smoke in the room and looked at the South Beach skyline through the window. “But enough about what happened here, how was the scavenge?”
“It went alright, though I think Patel has a story to tell,” said Cannon.
“Yeah I do,” said an ecstatic Patel.
“Well shit man, go,” said Fluffy.
“We were on our way back to the hotel this morning, and I had already scouted ahead and only found a small group of zombies. So we’re slowly going past the zombies when Wahlburn's shitty helmet falls off and gets their attention. So I tell them to run while I distract them. I found myself in some deep shit and out of nowhere LeBrony James comes out of air and saves my life.”
“Weird,” said Fluffy, stroking his chin with his hoof. Everyone nodded in agreement, as it seemed like nobody cared about LeBrony.
“How has everyone else been?” asked Wahlburn
“Other than that fight, really quiet, especially the girls,” said Fluffy.
“Good,” stated Patel firmly. “I think they’re annoying.”
“We all do,” said Wahlburn.

Clyde felt the painful burn of the summer sun scorching his face as he woke. He yawned and got up slowly. Once he stood up, he went to get his bag to grab his tooth brush but he couldn’t find his bag. Confused, he looked around and was unable to find his bag. He looked over at the hotel roof door and saw that it was completely open.
“Rarity, wake up,” said Clyde who sat down beside her. She remained sleeping even through Clyde’s message. After a few seconds, he decided to shake her and wake her by force. “Wake up,” he said shaking her gently. She woke slowly.
“Sorry, but did you take my bag?” he asked her.
Rarity yawned, “No, I didn’t. Why would I take it if I have mine over there? I also was sleeping the whole time.”
Clyde slumped down. “I guess that makes sense. Well whoever it was, they somehow got through the door.”
“Don’t worry about it, just go down and see who took it.”
“If it’s Poncho I’m killing him,” said Clyde as he got up. “After I settle this, do you still want to come with me?”
Rarity frowned. “Well, of course I do, but....”
“But what?” asked Clyde. He could tell she was worried about something.
“Where are we going?”
Clyde turned around and looked through the skyline. After a few seconds, he pointed to the city arena that hosted the Flamers. “Over there, we can get there before night time.” He looked over at Rarity. He saw the nervous expression on her face grow. “Don’t worry, I won’t let anybody, or thing, hurt you.” 
“Promise?”
He felt the surge of memories hit him from the adventure before. He put his head to hers. “I promise.”
After he told her to wait in the stairwell, Clyde ran down the stairs and onto their floor. He was so loud he got the attention of Fluffy and the Scavengers, who walked into the hallway to see what the commotion was.
“Clyde, you’re back!” yelled Fluffy. Clyde ignored him and ran to Poncho’s door, he started banging on it with his hoof as hard as he could. Eventually Poncho opened the door and Clyde barged into the room searching for his pack.
“What are you doing?” asked Fluttershy, still in her monotonous quiet voice.
“Poncho stole my pack!” exclaimed Clyde.
“No I didn’t-” began Poncho
“Shut up.” Clyde gave up his search and ran into the hallway, where everyone on the floor was watching to see what was going on. In frustration of not finding his pack he picked up Cannon’s supply pack in the middle of the hallway. “If you need me I’ll be at the Arena.”
“Hey, what the fuck? We spent all of yesterday scavenging for that shit!” yelled Cannon. Clyde ignored him and stormed down the stairs and out of sight. “Well it looks like we’re out of supplies again....”
Tyrone slowly walked out of his room. On his back was Clyde’s pack. “Ey yo guys, I heard Clyde talk out here. I wanna give his pack back.”
“Why do you have his pack?” asked Cannon.
“I just needed to borrow it.”
“For what reason?”
“I accidentally ripped my hat and needed some duct tape to fix it.” Suddenly, everyone heard a faint ‘ruff’ from Tyrone’s room. After laughing, the Scavengers and Fluffy went back to their room.
“Great, now we need to go out again,” said Patel sadly.
“We still have enough for today and tomorrow, but we’ll go out later today,” said Cannon
“I have an idea,” began Pharlin, “instead of going back to the Super Shop why don’t we just go to my condo?”
“Why would we do that?” asked Cannon, “do you even know how many Zambies are between us and that place?”
“I have a lot more supplies at my condo, or at least better supplies, like tools to make barriers and an Xbox with Halo 3. Worth it, in my opinion.”
“I’m sold at Halo 3,” said Patel without a trace of sadness in his voice.
“Yeah I’m game,” agreed Wahlburn.
“Alright then,” said Cannon, “I guess we are going to your condo.”
“Oh, and the basketball arena is on the way to my condo, so maybe we could get our supplies back from Clyde.” The group decided their next plan and then sat and watched TV until the time was ready.
