Idea I got after watching the movie for the fifth time in a row. Since the movie came out, I've watched it at least once to twice a day. This is my take of how a certain scene should have been.

This will be a short chapter story. Maybe three chapters with over one-thousand words each.

Disclaimer for all chapters: I do not own Zombies.

Enjoy.


What could Addison do?

Her cousin, Bucky, and his three co-cheer-captains, Tracey, Lacey, and Stacey, stole Eliza's computer. They managed to break through her firewall once Zed corrupted the system to change into a human for a couple hours. While Bucky was cheering on the sidelines, the three sneaked behind the bleachers and hacked into the zombies Z-band. Technically, it was only Zed's, Eliza's, and Bonzo's, but that's not the point. Zed could no longer use his band to help him win (which he did) and the three transformed into full brain-eating zombie mode.

Bonzo and Eliza chased after Tracey, Lacey, and Stacey against their free will. Zed hunted down Bucky, completely ignoring everyone else that was running past him. Addison noticed them and followed. Bucky fell on the ground behind the bleachers while Zed stalked forward. A sinister smile was on the football players face, his hands twitching with each step he made. When he was only a handful of feet away from the cheerleader, Zed suddenly grabbed his own arm, finally comprehending what he was doing. Addison deduced that Zed wasn't completely gone since he was trying to restrain himself.

Gus, one of her father's officers (because he was chief of Zombie Patrol) sneaked behind the attacking zombie and shocked him with some kind of defense mechanism. Either way, it was cruel. Zed immediately fell to his knees with a scream of pain. Addison rushed to his side and grabbed his hand. She tried to reassure him, comfort him, anything to calm him down. Zed returned to his normal self after a few moments. His skin was back to their usual color, his veins weren't bulging anymore, and the dark circles around his eyes were back to normal. Before Addison could celebrate, Gus was restraining the teen by cuffing his arms behind his back.

Addison stood to chase after him, but her father blocked her path. He tried to reason with her, but she ignored him and pushed past him to try to catch up with her 'boyfriend'. Addison noticed Eliza and Bonzo cuffed as well, the former looking as though she would cry at any moment. The 'blonde' demanded the guards let her friends go.

"We don't have any human friends," Eliza denied as she tried to control the sob in her voice.

Addison didn't believe the proclamation until she heard a distant grumbling. She turned in the direction of the growing noise and was completely surprise. All the human from the stands was booing at the three zombies. Someone even had their old sign from the first game that said, 'Zombies Go Home'.

"We told you Addie," her father chided. "Zombies aren't safe."

Eliza's lip started quivering even more at the statement, but Addison's father wasn't finished. "You give them an inch-"

"And they'll bite your face off." Her mother, the major of Seabrook, concluded in disgust.

"They'll bite your face off!" He agreed.

"Hey!" Zed's father shouted as he was walking by. "That's my son you're talking about!"

"I suggest you move along, Mr. Necrodopolous." Principal Lea quickly silenced the zombie father, who grabbed his daughter's hand. Zoey, Zed's little sister, looked fearful for her brother. With a sigh she insists, "I'll make sure they're looked after. I'm sorry."

Zed glanced at Addison for a mere moment before Gus urged him forward.

"Zed-"

"Addie, I'm sorry," he apologized while turning to her. He sighed depressingly. "Maybe their right. Maybe we shouldn't be together."

"What?" She exclaimed in surprise and despair. "No, no. Don't say that!" Gus forced Zed to walk on with Addie yelling, "Stop!"

The other two guards that restrained Eliza and Bonzo urged them toward the patrol truck. Addison followed until she was out on the field, knowing that it was useless to follow. Before he was forced into the truck, Zed gazed at the crowd in disappointment. Addison looked at the general direction that he was to see the other zombies fleeing from the bleachers, knowing they were no longer welcomed.

"Hey!" Addison shouted to the booing crowd to make them stop. All eyes were on her as the noise dwindled down to almost nothing.

"You did this to him!" She accused the human audience. "All of you! He was your monster! You made him feel like he had to risk his life to belong, because you couldn't deal with someone different. But you had no problem using him to win your stupid game!"

The crowd mumbled among one another. Some simply shrugged their shoulders as though they were fine with the thought of Zed dying. Addison forced herself to turn her back to them, so they couldn't see her cry.

She wanted to scream at them with all she had. She wanted to show them the error in their ways. She wanted to show them that being different is not so bad.

But how?

The wind started blowing through her 'hair' and that's when she came up with a brilliant idea.

Clutching the top of her wig, she tore it off while turning to the crowd, shouting, "What about me!"

The audience members gasped in surprise? Horror? Shock? Take your pick, because any of them would fit the condition.

Everyone thought Addison had natural beautiful long blonde locks. Instead, in their opinion, she had ugly, choppy shoulder-length white hair.

Addison turned to her parents. They were absolutely terrified. Then she turned to Zed and noticed a completely different reaction. He looked at her in awe. He genuinely thought she was beautiful. Addison may have even thought he was gazing at her with love in his eyes if circumstances weren't dire.

"I'm different," Addison announced to the crowd. "I've had to wear a wig since I was a little girl because my parents wanted me to fit in for their sake. Everyone thinks I'm the perfect teen, but I'm not because. . ."

She took in a deep breath to steady herself, before proclaiming, "Because I'm in love with a zombie!"

Gasps broke out through the crowd once again. Addison adverted her attention to Zed, who had a big goofy smile on his face despite the current situation. Gus shoved him into the back of the truck. Instead of watching (like she did in the movie), Addison ran to the vehicle and jumped in before anyone could stop her. One of the guard made a move to climb in after her, but she quickly intertwined her arms with Zed's.

"I'm not leaving without them." She stubbornly insisted, tightening the hold she has on the zombie's arm, who laid his head on top of hers out of pure exhaustion of the events prior.

Gus sighed before telling the chief, "We'll take her to the zombie containment. You can get her there, so we don't cause a scene here."

Addison's father reluctantly agreed to the idea as they finally closed the back door.

Zed turned his head to kiss the top of Addison's head, before laying his cheek back on her. "Your hair is so beautiful," he complimented. "You are beautiful."

She smiled happily as she kissed his cheek. "Thank you, Zed."

"You shouldn't be thanking anyone just yet," Eliza chided, "because we are headed to zombie hell."
