Brace For It

A/N: This is a one-shot collab that I did with two other people.

Dr. Devon Hunter was sitting behind his desk, distracted. The door opened, startling him. He looked up to see the skinniest, most fragile looking girl he'd ever seen in his life.

"I need you to take my braces off." she said.

"Let's take a look, shall we?" He peered at her teeth, then shook his head. "They need to stay for a while longer."

"But I need them off! Now!" she protested, looking distressed.

"You need to keep them on so they can finish straightening your teeth. Why are you freaking out, anyway?"

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE WITH BRACES!" she screamed.

He flinched. The kid's got some set of lungs on her, sheesh... Then he absorbed what she'd said. "Wait, die?"

She looked scornful. "Didn't you hear? The zombie apocalypse has begun. AND I WANT THESE STUPID BRACES OFF!"

He shook his head patiently. "Maybe you should check into the hospital. There's no such thing as zombies." The things kids believe...

She started backing away from the door, looking scared. "You had to say it..."

Rotting zombies were flinging themselves against the door, moaning. Their teeth gnashed and they clawed at the glass, resulting in an awful shrieking noise.

The girl ran towards a back window and climbed quickly through, as the zombies smashed the door and flooded in...

Lana's Point of View

Lana had just found out about the apocalypse and she knew she needed to find her best friends. If she was going to die it had to be with her friends by her side. Lana left her house and walked down the street to Emily's house she had to be there. Lana walked in the back door like she does every day when she goes over there. She grabbed a snack from the pantry and went upstairs to Emily's room.

"Emily," Lana said as she was walking in. "A zombie hasn't killed you yet, right?"

"No and that is a good thing," Emily said while pulling survival supplies out from underneath her bed. "Me, you, and Lea are going on a mission. The goal of this mission is to find an orthodontist to take these braces off"

"Why don't you go to your orthodontist to get them off?" Lana asked.

"Because my orthodontist used taboo and was turned," Emily said while packing her backpack with supplies."

"Well, that is very unfortunate," Lana said. "Is there a reason you need to get your braces off?"

"DID YOU FORGET THAT I HATE THESE BRACES!" Emily said.

"Umm," Lana said hesitantly. "No, I just figured you would want to other things before you die. You know things you have always wanted to do?"

"I have always wanted to get these braces off," Emily said.

"Well then, let's go to my house and pack supplies from my house then we can go and find Lea and do the same thing with her."

"Great let's go," Emily said while leaving the room.

Lana followed Emily downstairs and into the basement. Emily put a few water bottles in her backpack and a few in her purse. Then, she threw a few water bottles at Lana and went back upstairs. Emily did the same thing with some snacks from the pantry then walked out the back door. Emily and Lana walked to Lana's house and went in the side door Lana went up to her room to get a book bag while Emily started gathering supplies. Lana walked up to the attic to see if she could find anything up there.

"Lana!" Emily yelled. "Lea is here!"

"Okay, I will be right down I found some supplies that we could use!"

Lana went to her bedroom and put the supplies in her backpack. She looked around her room one last time and made her way downstairs. When Lana went downstairs she found Emily pulling out all the food that she could find, while Lea was just staring at her.

"We are doing what?" Lea asked.

"I told you three times," Emily said impatiently. "We need to go find an orthodontist that will take off my braces."

"Why don't you go to your own orthodontist?" Lea asked.

"Her orthodontist said the taboo and was turned," Lana said.

"Of course, he was," Lea said. "Why can't we go do something fun?"

"I want to go do something fun too," Lana said. "The faster we find an orthodontist, the sooner we can go do something fun."

"Which is why we are now going to Lea's house," Emily said. "Pack these things then we can go."

Emily POV

Emily rushed Lana and Lea over towards Lea's house, obsessively poking at her braces. I hate them so much...

Lea complained, "Do we have to?"

"I... want these STUPID braces OFF because who wants to die with braces?" Emily shouted.

Then they heard a pair of men talking. "Didja hear... they got Dr. Decker. AND Dr. Hunter."

"Shame." the other one commented.

"Great," muttered Lana. "No pediatrician, no orthodontist... What is going to happen to the world?"

Emily was still going on and on about her braces. "Have you ever seen a zombie with BRACES? I'll be a laughingstock..."

"You wouldn't even know if anyone was laughing at you." pointed out Lea.

"Yes I would because I'd just know," Emily said angrily.

"Ok," sighed Lana, "Let's go find an orthodontist."

Lea POV

Lea and her Friends left Lea's house to find an orthodontist to take Emily braces off.

"What do you wanna do when we get the braces off your teeth?" asked Lana

"Hey do you have the address for doctors Hunter and Becker because I don't," said Emily

"Wait I though Dr. Hunter got turned?" Lana said

"No, the other one," Emily said. "The one that is a town over."

"Okay that makes sense," Lana said.

"I think the address is 4785 East Roberts Street is where Dr. Hunter and Dr. Becker are located," said Lea

"I put in my iPhone 6s and mapquest it so we get their right and don't get eaten," said Lana

"Wait you have an iPhone 6s and you didn't tell us about it?!" said Emily and Lea.

"Hey stop talking about my phone and focus on the task at hand." said" Emily Focus on what your stupid braces the zombies are coming RUN!!!!!! Where are we supposed to go because they right behind us said, Leno and Lea. GET IN THE CAR NOW AND SHUT THE DOOR Now said Emily"Ok now what do we do because I don't know how to drive"? said Lea.I know how to drive and don't you yell at me said, Emily. Ok, let go to the orthodontist and get these braces off.They drove the random person's car to 4785 East Roberts Street and they jump out and let the car crash into the tree. They walked into the orthodontist and ask the front desk person if they could see. Dr. Hunter or Dr. Becker."Hey can I see Dr. Hunter or Dr. Becker NOW said Emily Dr.Hunter came out into the open and ask what's the problem said, Dr. Hunter

"I WANT THESE BRACES OFF NOW and I don't have money to pay for this," said Emily

"It's ok I pay for out of my pocket come with me so I can get the braces off," said Dr. Hunter

A few minutes later Emily walks out of the room with no braces on but the zombies are coming to get them.
