Vault 111

A/N: i know it's been a while since i posted something, but i'm starting a new series aboutto Vault Dweller's who venture out into the wasteland for a water chip, this is the first chapter, enjoy and leave a review.

My name is Andrew Patterson, I live here in vault 111. Today is the G.O.A.T test, my dad is a electrician. My mom left my dad shortly after I was born, he said they were 18 when they had me. But that was 16 years ago. This is my story

A loud ringing noise filled my room, I pulled my left hand out from under my pillow and started swatting at the alarm until it finally stopped ringing. I opened my eyes and climbed out of bed. I grabbed a clean vault suit and hopped in the shower. Once I got out I went and got myself a bowl of Sugar Bombs. My dad was rarely home so I was use to living on my own. Vault 111 is a survival vault, and unlike other vaults around the Capital Wasteland it has a water chip. So when it breaks the overseer sends two people out to go get it. But never mind that I got a goat to take.

As I put my bowl on the counter, my friend Craig Dallas knocks on the front door to my home. I open the door and jump back when I see his face, dude he said, what I replied, today is the day we take the goat he responded, yep I said are you ready? He nods and we start walking down the hallway. He was the popular one and I'm the quiet one, people wonder how we're friends, well it started when we were little kids our parents would get together for dinner and they would have us play together. And from there on out we've been friends since.

When we made it to the classroom our teacher Ms. Smith, said to take a seat and we will begin shortly once everyone arrives. I look around and find a seat against a wall in the middle row, I take it and sat down. A minute later a blond haired girl takes the seat beside me. I didn't have anything else to do so I pulled out my notepad and pencil and started writing. Hey what are you writing the girl next to me asks, I'm writing a story about life in the Wasteland or well I'm trying to guess what it would be like if I went out there, why would you want to go out there she asked looking at me confused. I said well think about it, we live in the vault we die in the vault, if the water chip breaks someone has to go out there and fix the problem. Oh she said sounding like I told her a secret. Can I see what you have so far she asked, I looked back over to her and saw that her eye's were blue and she had a look curiousness on her face. I grabbed the notepad and gave it to her.

A minute later she hands it back saying its good, thanks I said as I took the notepad back from her. Alright class Ms. Smith said, now that everyone is seated let's get this goat underway shall we. 10 minutes later I stand up and start walking towards the teacher's desk, I take a quick glance at the blonde girl's paper and see that her name is Danielle. I hand the test to the teacher and after reviewing it for a minute she say's Security Officer. Cool I said casually and walked away. As I walked out the door and heard Danielle yell hey. I turn around and see her run out the door behind me. I never got your name she said to me, Andrew I replied my name is Andrew, Danielle. We shook hands and walked down the hallway talking to each other, when we got to my house I opened the door and said, well you can come in if you want or you can stand out here. She laughed and came in.

This is a nice place I heard her say, yea I replied it's nice, but I don't get to see my dad much, how come she asked, he's a electrician so he's rarely home, I'm sorry to hear that she said, don't be I replied speaking of dad I'm gonna go pay him a visit you wanna come with me I asked Danielle, sure she said, we have the rest of the day to spend together. Together I thought in my head, what does she like hanging out with me, I mean I'm not a popular guy. As we were leaving our house robot Ryan said hold on Master let me fix you Shaggy Suave hair so it doesn't look like you were in a storm. Danielle laughed at that and watched as Ryan fixed my hair, Thanks Ryan I said walking out the door.

Thank God my hair was dark brown because Ryan hit my eye by accident and it was starting to water up, so my hair covered it. So where does your dad work at Danielle asked as we went into the Atrium of the vault, he works right here I replied pointing to the Reactor Level, Fancy she said as she walked in. Dad are you in here I yelled, yea son what do you need he yelled back, I came to talk to you about my results from the goat, Alright what did you get, as I came into view he looked at me then to Danielle and asked who is she he said grinning at me. Dad this is Danielle she is the Vaults Shift Supervisor, that's great for you Danielle dad said so what did you get Andrew, Security Officer, that's great I'm so proud of you son he said wrapping me in a big hug. I pulled back and said thanks, me and Danielle went back upstairs where we bumped into the Overseer and some security guards, the overseer said to Danielle to follow him and he will show her what a shift Supervisor does, the security officers grabbed me and dragged me off to the security office for basic training.

One Year Later

I was called into the overseers' office, when I got there I saw Danielle and Overseer Mike Wilson, waiting for me. Now that you're here the overseer said, our water chip has broke and we only have 6 months left of water, if you can I need you two to go find a water chip, I would try searching the other vaults, and ask caravaners to send water to Vault 111. Andrew I need you to guard Danielle as she is fit to be the next Overseer guard her with your life, Danielle don't ever leave his side. Do you both understand me. We both nodded in agreement, the overseer said good now you guys should get going you only have half a year left to get us water.

Once we got to the vault door I looked over and saw Danielle face, she looked scared so I took her hand and led her out into the wasteland. When we got out I let go of her hand and saw her blushing. I looked at my pipboy and saw that it had picked up a signal called Galaxy News Radio. I tuned in and heard this guy named Three Dogg talking about purified water and the Brotherhood of Steel giving it away, I tuned out of the radio and looked up to Danielle. I said to her, this Brotherhood of Steel is Giving away free water, all we have to do is tell them to send it to Vault 111, right but I think we might want to search around, since our vault was a wasteland survival vault we got a wasteland world map installed into our pipboy's. Okay Danielle said our closet place right now would be Megaton, how far away is that I asked. 8 miles she replied. Fuck I yelled out, well let's start walking.

A few hours later it was getting dark out, I heard Danielle say wait for me, I stopped and saw that she was a way's back, I walked back up to her and saw that she was drained of energy and tired, do you want me to carry you I asked her, she said yea, I let her climb on my back and started walking again. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep; her face being inches from mine was kind of alluring. I saw this huge building and went around to a empty parking lot I saw two Nuka Colas vending machines and a sign on the building that read Super Duper Mart. I walked in with her still on my back, a Protectron greeted us and said member's card please, since my dad being a electrician he also worked on robots and taught me how to override one, I said override member's card, state name's of card holder's on the database. The Protectron said Mr. and Mrs. West, I then said select that and print out a copy of a member card I have lost mine, certainly Mr. West the Protectron said. I took the card and held it up to the robot who said scanning card, verified, welcome Mr. West.

I wandered around and found the manager's office, which had a bed for two people, a refrigerator with Yum Yum Devil Eggs and Nuka Cola's. I closed the door and laid Danielle down on the bed, I took out a Nuka Cola from the fridge and laid down beside Danielle. It felt like one second before Danielle was whispering for me to get up, I look at her and see that she is scared, I ask her what's wrong, a group of men in weird armor with spikes just came in, I sat up and grabbed my 10mm pistol, I looked back at Danielle and said stay here. I walked out and the group of men we're in the front of the store, there were four of them. I tried to hide behind a isle but they found me and said come on out we won't shoot you, yet. I knew I was screwed so I walked out. Would you look at what we got here a Vault Dweller. The other three snicker. Listen kid give us what you have and we won't kill you, before you do that set the gun down slowly. I did what he said and set the gun down. You three go search the rest of the store for anybody else. Put your hands behind your back, I do and I realized that he had handcuffs, I saw in the corner that the Protectron had been disabled. One of the men came out of the back with Danielle over his shoulder. This was a big guy he was carrying her with one arm and using the other to rub her legs. Hold her still the guy behind me said to the big guy I gotta cuff her. As the guy was getting down to cuff her Danielle kicked the guy in the throat and punched the other guy in the balls. The other two guys were in I guess a waiting room, I saw Danielle run up and close both the doors wrapping wire around the door knobs.

The two guys were getting up, the big one grabbed me to hold me still while the other one put a, I guess you could call it a executioner hood over my head and tied the string at the bottom. I couldn't breathe. I heard someone behind me fighting Danielle. The fight went on for a couple minutes. I dropped to the floor do to oxygen deprivation, the last thing I remember was hearing Danielle yell Andrew before I blacked out from deprivation. I felt cool air hit my face and something soft pressing against my lips, when I opened my eye's I saw Danielle giving me CPR. When she saw me wake up she pulled away blushing and breathing heavy.

I thought I lost you she said, thanks I said looking at her. The color in your emerald green eyes was fading away when I got that hood of you I thought I was too late. Well thankfully you weren't otherwise you would have been stuck out here by yourself. When I sat up I looked around me and saw that we were in the parking lot of the Super Duper Mart. She helped me to my feet, How did you learn how to fight I asked her as we started walking towards Megaton, it was part of the overseer training program, she responded in case the vault goes into a frenzy you have to know how to fight. Why did you give into those guys she asked me as we reached the gate to Megaton, there were too many of them I was outnumbered. Well you could have fought back she replied sounding a bit aggravated, if I wanted to die I would, she gave me a shove and said you were gonna die if I didn't give you CPR. she laughed and I said you know you liked it, and with that she started blushing again. Well hello there vaulties a man with a star over his duster coat said, My name is Lucas Simms sheriff and Mayor when the need arises. Hi I said My name is Andrew and this is Danielle, we're looking for a water chip, do you have one I asked, no Lucas Simms replied but our water pipes have been leaking and Walter hasn't been out at all in a couple days, if you want I can fix your pipes and check on Walter, thank you Lucas replied if you do that I can give you that vacant shack up there, we all look up to a shack that looked fairly large. It's a deal I said shaking his hand.

As we headed up to the Water Plant a girl with reddish hair came running up to us, hey are you two from a vault she asked looking at both me and Danielle, we both nod, if you want I can add armor to your vault suits if you help me with my Wasteland Survival Guide, Danielle said yes right as soon as she said it the girl mentioned her name was Moira Brown and she works at Craterside supply we both walk in and strip out of our vault suits, since mine was security Moira covered the shoulders, arms and legs with padding and metal that would attach to it. For Danielle's since it was a regular vault jumpsuit she added metal to the shoulders and padding the rest of the way down. We then thanked her and went up to the Water Plant. I knocked on the door but got no response so I opened it and saw Walter laying on the floor, I ran up to him and checked his pulse, I let go of his wrist and looked back up to Danielle, he's a goner I said to her. Go tell Lucas Simms that he's dead, I've got to work on these pipes. She ran out the door, I found a toolbox and fixed the pipes in the Water Plant and was heading outside when Danielle came back with Lucas, Lucas walked up and bent down to look at Walter, Andrew can you be our water plant guy and fix our pipes and water system when it breaks, do I get paid I asked, he grunted and said yes you will get paid 25 caps a hour when we need help, great I replied, as mentioned earlier I said you would be given the shack when you fix the pipes, so here are the keys to the shack, but what about the pipes outside I protested, there taken care off we wrapped the holes in duck tape. Alright well goodnight Lucas, night you two he replied.

When we got there we saw Moira leaving, she had set the house up with a vault theme, and added my first laboratory and infirmary, also a jukebox and a nuka cola machine. You didn't have to do all this I said to her, I know but since you guys are helping me I'd figure I would try and make it feel like home. Once she left our butler Wadsworth gave us purified water to drink with our Salisbury steak. I went up to a room with a single bed, you can take it I said to Danielle, where are you gonna sleep she asked, on the couch. I woke up early the next morning, I looked at my pipboy clock and saw that it was 4am; I got up and ate some noodles with a nuka cola. Danielle got up a few minutes after I was done eating, she came down in her sleepwear which was nothing but a tank top and blue short shorts. When I looked up at her I saw how wide her breasts were, I quickly looked away and got up. I was wearing nothing but my underwear and a white t-shirt. I told her to eat as I went upstairs and put my modified security jumpsuit on putting my pistol on the side of my belt and my baton on the other side. I went back down stairs and waited for her to get dressed.

She was upstairs for like half a hour so I figured I'd go see what she's doing and when I went up there the door was cracked so I looked in and saw her naked she had a slender frame but was built like a athlete, I quietly stepped back down stairs. A few minutes later she came down. Well your ready I asked her, yes she replied as we stepped out. I heard one of the radio's tuned into GNR so I listened for a moment and heard Three Dogg talking about me and Danielle and how we were last seen entering Megaton, Vault Dwellers he said for good or for bad. I turned off the radio. When we went to Craterside supply I asked Moira to give Danielle a weapon, Danielle took and hunting rifle and all the ammo for it, I asked how much it was but Moira said it's free since we were helping her. we sat down in two chairs and listened to Moira who talked about the super duper mart, I told her that we had been there and also talked about how to search for food. She gave me this repellent stick and I was suppose to use it on mole rats, so me and Danielle went out and killed a couple mole rats, well it kills them easily but doesn't repel them. Our last Task for the first chapter was to go to the Anchorage Memorial and plant this camera thingy in their eggs. When we got to the Memorial we saw a group of super mutants go in, so we waited and hid for a hour and they all came back out saying that was to easy. When they were out of sight we snuck in and planted the camera thingy. As we were leaving I looked on the terminal for all the names, when I got to the squad leader's I found this one guy very interesting, he was a Private but he lead this squad and reclaimed Anchorage, who's that Danielle asked, it says his name is Jacob Hartley and that back in 2077 he led this squad to reclaim Alaska, wow Danielle said sounding impressed, look it also has a status for if there alive or dead and I looked through everyone else and it said that they were dead but for him it says that he is alive, location is Vault 101. I look up at Danielle and she sense's what I'm thinking alright she said let's go to Vault 101.
