Spoiler: Gaige Hannon

Portrayed by Josh Hutcherson

Cameron watched Nate, and heard his mother's voice. He smiled at him, hearing his words and he gave him a big hug before he let go a few minutes later. "I can't wait to play both! Bye Nate! I'll see you soon!" Cameron called as he watched his bestest friend leave again. Cameron didn't realize it, but it would be a whole three years before he saw Nathaniel again. He spend the next year on his own, and in that time his brother was shipped off to Denver with his partner and Cameron was well and truly alone.

The next two years were so slow for him, until about half way through the second year when he met Gaige. The other teen had come from Las Vegas with his family. He was a year older than Cameron and he met when his parents enrolled him into the Firefly training program. He was still in the same place he'd always lived, but this time he had Gaige with him. Cameron thought about his friend often, and he wondered if he'd ever actually get to see Nate again. Cameron missed his best friend and while he had Gaige now to hang out with, it wasn't the same.

Today, the Firefly training was cancelled as the trainers were sent to help patrols with a nasty horde that had grown way to close to the zone for comfort. Cameron was hanging out in that same room with Gaige, the two of them playing war. His parents told him that they'd be having their meeting today and Cameron wondered if he'd finally see his best friend again.​

“Pick it up, Nate! We got places to be!” The big bellowy laugh of Benjamin Dixon resounded so far and wide that Nate was pretty sure literally everyone could hear him. If they weren’t in a place that was actively with them, they would have been found out by everyone. There was never any stealth with this guy. Nate looked up from the book that he was reading as they walked. He had fallen behind by a lot. A very much lot. His mama, Ben, and Maximillian Parina were a good fifteen feet ahead of him. He quickly shoved the book to the side and ran to catch up.

Three years. It had been three years since they were last here. Nate hag begged and begged for his mama to bring them back here, and she always said that they would go when it was time. Well, it was time! He was feeling the serious jitters. Why? He wanted to see Cameron for so long. He loved the games they played. He loved how nice it was to be with him. Frankly, it never left him that they were going to be family. He wanted to be family. It was hard to do that when they weren’t ever together.

“Nathaniel.” His attention was drawn to his mother. She stopped at a door. “You know where to go. I am busy. Do not cause trouble. Max.” She gently smiled. “Please entice them to behave. Benjamin. Do not even think about leaving that room. I do not care that you are all grown or whatever you think. It is imperative that you stay here where I know where you are. It is incredibly dangerous outside these walls right now.” She turned and walked into the room leaving the three of them in the hall. There was only one other thing to do. He opened the door to the room he hadn’t been in three years.​

Cameron grinned and laughed as he slapped his card down. "Ha! I win again!" He said, his voice had dropped a little bit as he hit fifteen, and it was a little deeper. His hair had grown and gotten shaggier and his body was a little more fit and lean than the lanky he'd been before. Gaige narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest, pouting slightly. "That's not fair! You cheated!" He said, sticking his tongue out. "How in the world could I have cheated?" Cam asked before his attention was drawn to the door. When it opened and revealed his best friend, any game was forgotten as he ran to the door. "Nathaniel!" He said happily, giving his best friend a big hug before he noticed the other two with him. After a moment, he pulled away and looked at them. "Is this Max and Ben?"​

Three years had passed between them and it felt like nothing. Well, except for the part where Nate had glasses now. They all got tired of him being blin and took some when they found ones that worked. The moment Cameron said his name, all of his fears and anxieties disappeared. Nate threw his arms around his best friend, which was pretty funny since he had only seem him like two whole times before this and saw the other two with him literally always, and almost screamed in excitement. He kept his cool though. It was definitely and totally fine. When Cam pulled away, he looked at the other two. “Yeah! I told you I’d bring them one day. Cam, this is Max and Ben. Guys, this is Cameron. He’s the coolest person in the entire world!” Max smiled and nodded his head. “Hey.” Ben, however, had no such graces. He pushed himself forward and grabbed Cam’s hand for a big shake. “Howdy! So you’re the Cameron that Nate’s always talking about. Crazy. And who are you?” He scooted himself out of the way and looked at the other kid in the room.​

Cameron smiled over at the other two, though his excitement at seeing Nate was high, he was happy to finally meet Ben and Max. He blushed a little at Nate called him the coolest person in the entire world. “It’s so nice to meet you two!” Cam said as he saw Ben come forward and shake his hand, he shook it back with a grin. “Well.. I guess so.” He said as he looked back. Gaige had gotten up and wandered over, smiling and held out his hand for Ben. “Hello! My name is Gaige! It’s so nice to meet you all.” He said as Cameron wanted to smack his head. “Sorry. Yeah, this is Gaige. He and I are in the training program together. Gaige, this is Nate, Ben and Max.”​

Ben did not hesitate to snatch up Gaige’s hand and give it a big shake. “Well, it’s great for you to meet me!” He ended with a huge laugh as he dropped Gaige’s hand and placed both of his on his sides. Max merely smiled as he stood further back from the rest of them. Nate, who was used to Ben, did not even react to that. Instead he raised both brows at the statement. “Oh, you finally got to train! That’s cool. What are they having you guys training to do? I’ve never gotten to do any of the training stuff. My mama won’t let us do anything like that. Says it’s too dangerous and that I’m not really soldier material.”​

Gaige laughed as Ben shook his hand in a big shake and shook his head. Cameron hadn't been expecting that, but it made him smile and laugh softly. Cam looked at Nate and nodded with a happy smile. "We're training to be soldiers." Cam said as he looked at Nate. "And we would've had class today but the teachers were dealing with a mini-horde." He added as he led them further into the room. "We just finished a card game, did you guys wanna play a game?" Cam asked with a smile on his face.​

Ben was the first one shaking his head at all of that. “They should send us out there. We deal with mini- and massive hordes all the time. We could take them!” He laughed again, that big boisterous laugh. Max, who was mostly quiet, put a hand on his shoulder. “We do not usually defend entire bases, camps, and homes. Just ourselves.” Nate rolled his eyes at his big brother Ben and looked over at Cam. “Oh! Yeah! We would love to play a game.” Max stepped beside him. “I’m always up for a good challenge.”​

Cameron looked at Ben, shocked a little bit as he heard him. Even he wasn't ready to face a mini-horde, but he also didn't travel like they did. He'd never even seen an infected person in real life yet. Gaige on the other hand was right with Ben. "I agree! I told the teachers that they should take us too and we can learn on the go." Gaige said as he laughed, his laugh more musical as he looked at Ben. Gaige liked him, he seemed like an interesting kid. Cameron looked at Nate and Max, grinning. "We should do Uno then! It's a great game with more than two people." Cameron suggested.​
