7 fics in 7 days, here's number 4! The short little thing that it is.

Charon took a swig of his beer, trying to get comfortable in the pink armchair that was far too small for a man of his stature. After weeks of travel, he and Vizyn had finally returned to Megaton.

Vizyn gave his arm a tight hug before excusing herself to the Brass Lantern for some dinner, promising she wouldn't be gone long. Charon had preferred to go straight home to their little shack. The ghoul was looking forward to a relaxing night with his smoothskin.

But God had a twisted sense of humor.

"…and it was huge!" Vizyn exclaimed, her blue eyes were wide and manic and she grabbed the exposed muscle on his arm for emphasis. "Like, the biggest one I'd ever seen! Not that I'd seen a lot before, but still! And it had big teeth! It was like 'grar rar rar rar' and it ran straightat me! But then I was like 'no!' and it was like 'rarrr I'm gonna eat you!' but then I climbed a tree…"

Vizyn had been full of energy since she came back from dinner, she'd done nothing but bounce around and talk his ear off- ha, so that's where they went!- since she'd stepped through the door.

Charon rubbed his forehead as his smoothskin continued rambling. He was exhausted, irritated, it was taking every shred of self-control he had not to snap at the girl to "shut the fuck up, for two damn seconds!"

What was with her tonight?

"…So, Nova goes 'hell no!' and you know what she did? Charon, hey, Charon! Do you know what she did?"

"No," He grumbled into his palm.

"She hit him with a Gnome!" Vizyn collapsed into hysterics and Charon winced at the high-pitched giggling. Normally, he loved to hear her laugh, but the sharp pain in his temples only seemed to exacerbate at the noise.

So much for a relaxing night…

"Oh, oh, oh! So, Charon, hey! Hey, Charon! Did you ever have Sugar Bombs? They're like, they're amaaaaaaaaaaazing! Jenny, you know, Jenny, Jenny gave them to me. I had them for dinner and they're like…like wow! You know?"

Charon's hand twitched.

He could hardly believe it.

Vizyn, the lone wanderer, his smoothskin, was having a sugar rush.

"I had like, I dunno, it was like, 4 bowls…or 5...I had a lot! But, I started to feel sick so I stopped, but they were so good!"

The ghoul groaned and dragged his hand down his face.

"Hey, hey Charon! If we find some out in the wasteland, can we bring them home with us? I really like them! I could totally eat them everyday! Charon? Hey, hey Charon? Wh-why are you putting your gun in your mouth?"

Prompt for today was "Sugar Overdose" and this was the best I could do.
