"Oh, sorry," I said, feeling sheepish. "But we'll stay, and I promise your brother will be okay. Feel his forehead, alright? You'll feel the heat starting to going down slowly."

Tony didn't respond, just crossed his arms over his chest. Once the bottle was empty, I smiled and stood up. "You guys can stay as long as you want! Nobody but us knows about it. It's realy really safe."

Katelyn smiled. "Thanks, Ashley, that's really sweet. But we'll only stay until Brandon's alright, and then we really should leave. We're supposed to be heading into L.A."

"Why? What's in L.A?" Tony gave me that parental look he's been giving me lately. "It's really none of our buisness, Ash."

"We're gonna save the world!" I grinned.
Katelyn rolled her eyes beside me, shaking her head. "Our parents told me to take Nicki and myself to L.A. if anything ever happened. I think maybe there's a place there for us," she half lied.

"Can we come with you?" "Ashley!" I ingored Tony. "I've been in this place forever, and I've never had any other friends before." I gave Nicki the puppy dog eyes that usually worked with my two older brothers.

"I don't know if that's such a good idea," Katelyn said.
I was about to agree but the puppy dog eyes were melting me like water on the wicked witch, and I chewed my lower lip thoughtfully. "We can protect her, Katelyn."
"Nicki, no. Besides, I doubt her brothers want her wandering around the streets of L.A. with two complete strangers."

"What if Tony says it's ok? Then can I go?" I clasped my hands together, begging. It would be so cool to actually get out of the whole we were in.

I nodded. "If Tony says it's okay. Hell, your brothers can come too."
I felt Katelyn's glare on my skin but shrugged it off. Ashley was only young; she deserved to see the world, or what was left of it at least.

I bounded over to Tony, puppy eyes going full blast. "Can we? Please? Please?" He knelt down to look at me at eye level. "Why do you want to leave? We're safe here. We don't have to risk anything." "It's boring. And I've never had friends, beside you." We both turned to look when Brandon sat up, the best he could. "I think it woudl be good for her." Tony glared at him. "We'll talk, the four of us. Why don't you go play with your teddy bear?" Ashley pouted. "Fine." And she sulked off to a smaller room around the corner. "What?! You think it's good for her?"

"Look," Katelyn said, making her voice heard. "There's something the two of you need to know; something big. The reason we're going into L.A. is because there have been rumours for a long time of the virus being re-created. If we're unsuccessful in stopping it, if it..." She paused, choosing her words carefully. "If the virus comes back, then Ashley is going to be alone and not have a clue about what's out there and how she can protect herself from it."

"Who in their right mind would remake the virus?" Tyler thought about it for a second. "Oh." He uncrossed his arms and put his hands in his pockets. "I don't want Ash loosing anymore."
"Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Do you want to come with?" I suggested. "We don't know who exactly it is, but... all and any help would be appreciated."

"We can't." The boys responded simutaniously. Tony moved next to Brandon, and made him lay down again. "We're the oldest around here. There are a lot of kids depending on us" Tony explained. "If we could, I know Brandon would go in a heartbeat."

"What about Ashley? Will you let her come with us?" I asked. "We'll keep her safe, I swear to god."
