Veronica's P.O.V.

I was currently having lunch with Zed in Zombietown. We had just finished jogging and decided to take a break.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you!" he told me.

"What is it Z-man?" I asked him.

"I'm going to ask Addison to Prawn today!" he explained.

"No way!" I gasped and smiled.

"Yes way! Can you help me?" he asked.

"Of course I can!" I told him.

"Great! I want this proposal to be perfect. I already know how to do it." Zed explained.

"Well then, what are you waiting for? Let's hear it." I said with a smile.

"Okay, so..."

+++++++++++++++

We ended up at Seabrook Power and walked through the site.

"Hey, dad." Zed called out to Zevon. I looked around for my dad, but didn't see him.

"Hey son! Hey, Veronica! First day as foreman of the demo group. Big day for zombiekind!" he said.

"Do yo know where my father is?" I asked him.

"Your father is inside the demo tech room. I'll let him know you stopped by." he explained.

"Yeah, you'll do great. Just don't make any lame zombie dad jokes." Zed told his father before we walked off.

"But the working staff love 'em! Especially Jonathan!" Zevon said.

"I'm sure he does!" I told him.

We found Eliza shouting into a microphone at the public workers. "Hey-hey, ho-ho! This demolition has got to go!"

"Hey, zombae! What are you doing?" I asked.

"They can't tear it down, Zed." she said.

"Seabrook Power hasn't worked in years." he told her.

"Besides, we can't control them, even if everybody disagreed, the demolition would still go on because our leaders don't care what we think." I added.

"It's an important part of zombie heritage!" Eliza protested.

"This is progress, Eliza. Now, we can even go to Prawn." Zed explained.

Prawn is like supersized prom, but shrimp themed. This is the first year zombies can attend. Maybe I can invite Wyatt!

"I'm loud and proud to be a zombie!" Eliza shouted into the mic.

"Eliza, just calm down. We'll think of something." I reassured her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I dream of the day we ditch our Z-bands and let our inner monsters roar." she told us.

"AAAARRGGGHH!" she roared into the mic.

I chuckled as Zed grabbed her arm and pulled her to walk with us.

"Hop on, girlie."

Eliza jumped on my back and I carried her as Zed smiled at us.

Addison: We're back here on the scene and everyone's together
With zombies on the team
It's better than ever, better than ever

Bucky: Those moves won't get the gold

The Acey's: Green hair is so whatever
Well, you'll never break the mold
'Cause we're better than ever, better than ever

Zed: Tearing down the power plant You're welcome, Seabrook, I'm your man
To build a place where everyone can cheer
I'm making zombie kinda cool, not feared

Veronica: Making progress, that sounds great

Eliza: But what's the price we have to pay?

Veronica, Eliza, and Zed: Ready for a new day, ready for a change
People, zombies, everybody say

All: Hey! We got this!
Teaming up to make progress
Change the rules, you can't stop this!
Together we rise, you know we got this!
Hey! We got this!
Teaming up to make progress

Together we rise, you know we got this!

Addison: I wish that I could call
I hope you get my letters
Hope I get asked to Prawn
It'd be better than ever, better than ever

Lacey: Oh, Addison, my love
Gargargaza are forever

Acey's: We pull the strings
We run the show
'Cause we're better than ever, better than ever

Zed: We're finally allowed to go to Prawn
Gonna get our Ziga Ziga Zombie on
Counting down the days, I've been keeping track
Kinda wishing Addison would write me back
Imagine me taking her to the dance

Zoey: A human and a zombie hand in hand

Zoey and Zed: Ready for a new day, ready for a change
People, zombies, everybody say

All: Hey! We got this!

Together we rise, you know we got this!

Zed: Here in this hall
Up on these walls
Picturing Addison beside me
Then they will say
We're all the same
And they can see the life inside me
Oh, what's it gonna take!
What's it gonna take!
What's it gonna take!
What's it gonna take!
What's it gonna take!

All: We got this!
