10 years later

Clementine scoffed at her fellow drunk classmates as they invade her house. When she told Jensen to throw a party, she didn't mean invite the whole high school! Jensen was biting his lip as two slutty blondes rubbed their asses all over him, his face red, rimmed with beads of sweat.

"Whatever." She sighs as she stands up and walks out of the house, her arms crossed over her chest. Damn, it was cold. Once she stepped outside, she instantly regretted wearing a tank top and jeans with holes in them. She sat on the porch, put on her green converse, pulled out a cigarette, sticking it in her mouth, and lighting it, her hand shielding the flame from the wind.

"Hey, Tiny. What are you doing out here?" Jensen asks from behind her. Clementine slumps her shoulders forward, annoyed by him just being there.

"What do you want?" She asks as she exhales smoke.

"Nothing. I just wanted to find you." He says, bending down, and squatting next to her, giving her a retarded smile. Clementine looks over at him, looking into his eyes for a minute, then pushes him, causing him to fall off of the porch and onto the grass below.

"Ballocks!" Jensen yells as he stays in his position, face planted in the lawn.

"Oh, um, see you later, Jensen." Clementine tells him as she stands up and walks away. Not knowing where she is going, she walks into a local McDonald's, heading for the play set. It's empty. No big surprise.

Suddenly she hears grunting from the yellow tube slide. Confused, Clementine slowly inches her way to the slide, honestly scared of what she may find. Once she sticks her head into to slide, she ends up laughing hysterically.

The man stuck in the slide looks down at her, not amused, "I could use some help, ya know." She nods, talking to breathes to calm herself down.

"Um, well first, try and take off your shoes." She bites her lip, smiling like a loser as he trie to untie his shoes.

"Can you help?" He asks, giving up quickly. Clementine chuckles, shaking her head.

"No."

"Why?" He whines.

"Because you're a big boy. You can get yourself out. Do I need to get you a diaper?"

"Pff no." He scoffs, rolling his eyes.

"Okay, then keep trying." He sighs as he tries to reach his shoes, successfully unties one of his shoes. He kicks off one white converse shoe and reaches for the next, untieing it and kicking it off.

"Now what?" He asks out of breathe. Clementine smiles, trying not to laugh at the idiotic baby man stuck inside of the slide.

"Now," She starts, "Oh boy. Try to pull off your jacket...?" She says, unsure if this man was capable of doing this task.

"What?!" He shouts. The man sighs and does as suggested, unzipping his grey wolf jacket, squirming like a worm, trying to get his arms out of the jacket sleeves.

Finally, he gets his arms out, his black "To Kill A King" shirt clinging to his skin by sweat. Clementine lays his jacket and shoes on the rubber surface under her feet as she climbs into the tube, figuring out which angle to turn his feet. She grips his black sock covered ankles and twists his foot, so that one leg was free. The man squeals as she twists his ankles.

"That hurts." He pouts.

"Stop being so immature." Clementine grumbles as she gets his other leg free, causing his to slide down the slide on his stomach. The man steps outside of the slide, sighing happily with a huge grin plastered on his lips. He brushes off of his shirt and pulls on his jacket and shoes.

"I'm Dan." The man says, holding a hand out for her to shake. Clementine grips his hand and shakes it firmly.

"Clementine Youth." She answers back. Dan freezes, "What?" She asks, fairly confused.

"C-Clementine you said? Clementine Youth?" Dan stutters, his smile now gone, fear laced in with his shaking voice.

She nods, flashing him a confused expression, "Um ya. Why?"

"I-I'm sorry, but I have to go." Dan runs out of the McDonald's and hops into the trunk of a car as it takes off quickly. Clementine sighs heavily as she walks out, not bothering to buy anything.

She starts walking home when suddenly she hears footsteps from behind her. She whips her head back quickly, noticing nothing was there. She continues to walk back to the house, her heart beating quickly as the footsteps are heard again. She turns around once more, catching a glimpse of what she thought was Dan's hair. Shaking her head, she continues walking, telling herself that it is only her imagination.
