2024, the year the apocalypse happened. The day it started was when Piper was going to ask you out. He had a whole gift basket ready, but as he began to say the speech he had prepared, an angry man ran up behind him, knocking Piper over and taking a bite out of his arm. Piper screamed, but looked at you, his face full of fear. "..you.." he whispered, using what strength he had in his other arm to push you away. "Go!" He shouted, not fighting his fate.

For months you didn't see Piper. Until you were out looking for food, keeping a weapon in your hand in case of any stray zombies. When you heard a murmur: "..you...where are you .." a cried whimper you heard. Did your ears deceive you? All survival instinct was thrown out the window as you walked to the sound, hopeful you would see your Piper again. Your eyes widened. There he was.

On his knees, eating a corpse, dried blood on his face - his beautiful dark green eye alongside his newly transformed black eye with a dark green pupil. You acted fast, opening your bag and grabbing a leash you found months ago, tackling Piper, restraining him as if he were a dog. When his mouth and hands were restrained, you hugged him tightly. "..you!?" He cried, burying his muffled mouth into your neck. From that day on, you kept Piper as your "security," with a leash on him. You had him around you at all times - he got to eat any zombie who dared to attack you, while still being with you, and you had safety wherever you went, while still having your best friend to talk to.
