Goodbyes

Courier Six, that is what the savior of New Vegas was known as. At the age of sixteen he destroyed the Legion, killed Mr House, forced the NCR to leave New Vegas and the surrounding factions alone, survived a head shot and united the factions and so much more. Yet he still remained the same, a caring man, a righteous one, a mighty person. He remained sane, something that wasn't easy to do when you have done everything he has... Then, 2 years later. During his eighteenth birthday, he wanted to seek out a challenge. He ordered his companions to stay in the Mojave and take care of things until he returned.

"Where are you going?" asked Veronica, the Couriers first companion.

"I heard of a guy called the 'Lone Wanderer'. He sacrificed himself for a cause, they say he had companions that matched us. I wanna face them alone, see if I've still got it" replied Six, a goofy smile on his face.

"Your gonna come back, right?" questioned Cass worriedly, the Couriers second companion.

"Heck yea Cass, I'm not gonna fight to the death" he answered, walking up to Cass and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Don't have your way with anyone while I'm gone to, like you did with me. So rough for my first" said Six teasingly, Cass just rolled her eyes.

"You better prettyboy, I don't wanna have to watch Rex and ED-E for the rest of my life" ordered Boone, the Couriers third companion.

"Yes sir, general Boone" said Six, saluting his friend. Boone returned the gesture.

"Do you have all your medical gear?" asked Arcade, the Couriers forth companion.

"Yep, all in my Pip-Boy" answered Six, showing Arcade his inventory list.

"Boss. Can I check your guns quickly?" asked Raul, the Couriers fifth companion.

"No Raul, you have already checked them like, fifty times dude. Besides" replied Six, materializing his favorite weapon. The Fist of Rawr. "You know I love getting up close and personal" ended Six with a smile. Raul just rolled his eyes.

"Make sure you pack an extra sweater in-case it's cold out. And don't forget to eat everyday and sleep" said Lily, the Couriers sixth companion. She was rubbing away her tears with a handkerchief.

"Yes mam'" replied Six, giving his nightkin grandmother a hug. He then turned to Rex, his seventh companion. Rex was wagging his tail, ready to go. 'Guess he doesn't understand stay, huh' thought the Courier in a sad happiness, before hugging his dog and chaining him up. He handed the chain to Boone then started scratching Rex's head and back, making Rex "ruff" in happiness. He then let go of Rex, which made Rex whimper in protest and sadness "I'm gonna miss you too, buddy" said Six before walking to ED-E.

{When will you be back?} asked ED-E, nobody knew how Six understood the robot.

"Soon, kay" said the Courier before awkwardly hugging the robot. He started walking up the hill of the Mojave Outpost, now clear of destroyed vehicles. Before turning back to his companions. "I'll be back on my nineteenth birthday, kay. Bye everyone!" shouted the Courier, waving as he was walking away. Rex started pulling at the chain, trying to follow. He would not let his master go without him, Boone started struggling with the chain. Losing his grip, Rex was free and raced after Six. Rex easily caught up to Six and tackled him from behind onto the ground, licking his face. Six just laughed before telling Rex to get off and staring at his pet. Rex gave him the most adorable puppy-eyes ever, making Six curse under his breathe. "I'm taking Rex, but nobody else. Okay!" hollered Six before him and Rex sprinted up the hill into the distance. ED-E used his newly installed speed enhancers to boast up the hill and caught up with the two almost instantly. Six just facepalmed while running before shouting back to the other companions. "And ED-E !". After that, the trio were out of sight. The five remaining companions. Boone, Veronica, Lily, Raul, Cass and Arcade just walked back to the Lucky 38 in silence. Even Veronica was silent, which is really rare. Once they were back, four of the companions headed for the Cocktail Lounge while Lily went to the Presidential sweet for some rest and Cass went to her and the Couriers shared room, grabbing his pillow and hugging it until she fell asleep.

Cass dreamed of the Courier with her, both of them sitting in a park. His long blonde hair blowing in the breeze and his pale blue eyes watching their two kids that would be a boy and girl. Boy named Jaune and a girl named Weiss... If only it could be a reality.

Lily dreamed of her precious 'grandson' Six returning home safely and earlier then expected.

Veronica drank for the first time and didn't like it, but forced it down. She found that she can actually hold her own with a drink and outdrank Arcade, a total lightweight, and Boone. But she was unable to beat Raul and passed out on her last shot of Whiskey. She dreamed of herself travelling through a land with her best friend Six and punching every bad guy in sight.

Arcade dreamed of him and Six on a beach somewhere, wearing nothing except sunglasses and staring out at the beautiful ocean sea.

Boone dreamed of him and his wife walking through New Vegas hand in hand, preparing to have another wedding and inviting all of Boones friends... And these guys. If only this could be true.

Raul didn't sleep, except, he stared at the wall and just day-dreamed of himself as a human again with his beautiful girl. His lady... Then brought himself out of his trance, had another shot and started working on his guns Six gave him...

"You better come back Boss... You need to come back"
