Authors note: I do not own the Fhe Fallout series, the only thing I own is the OC, and the choices I made. Enjoy.
Chapter 1
Daniel was a talented boy, when he was one year old he could walk like a toddler, his father James raised him in Vault 101 all by himself, Daniel never knew his mother, only from stories his father told him, and photos in old scrap books, today was a special day for him though, today was his tenth birthday, so James tried to wake his son up early, but Daniel had already woke up, and was reading a Vault-Tec security manual, he ever so wanted to be a security guard for the vault ever since he found out he had a natural talent in hand to hand combat "son, I have a surprise for you, come along now" James said, Daniel placed a book mark on the page he was reading, and closed the book "I will be right behind you" Daniel said, he placed the book on his night stand before James lead Daniel out of their vault quarters, James covered his sons eyes "now keep your eyes shut, and no peaking" James said. James removed his hands over his sons eyes, the room was dark, then the lights instantly turned on almost blinding him "SURPRISE" everyone cheered, "happy birthday my boy, I can't believe you are already 10 years old" James said, the overseer approached Daniel "congratulations young man, I don't have to tell you how important this day is to you" the Overseer asked, "no you don't sir, I have waiting for this day for a while now sir" Daniel said, "all ways the polite one, anyways here is your first Pip-boy 3000, your first responsibilities start tomorrow" the Overseer said, "thank you sir" Daniel said, he saluted the Overseer, and placed the Pip-boy on his left wrist, Daniels best friend Amata walked up to him "happy birthday, we really surprised you, didn't we? Ha ha. Your dad was afraid you were onto us. But I told him not to worry. You're so easy to fool" Amata said, Daniel laughed with Amata "You did all of this yourself" Daniel asked, "well yeah of course, do you like it" Amata asked, "of course I love it, you're my best friend, thanks for doing this for me" Daniel said, Amata blushed at her friends comment "you're welcome, by the way, guess what your present is" Amata said, Daniel pondered for a moment "I give up" Daniel said, "Ha I knew I'd surprise you. Who's your favorite Barbarian? That's right, Grognak! Issue 14, and with no missing pages!" Amata said, she handed the comic to Daniel, he couldn't believe it "how did you get this" Daniel asked, "I found it in a box of my father's old things, who knew that he used to read comics, I guess everyone is ten once" Amata said. Daniel sat at a table that old lady Palmer and the Overseer were sitting at "I hope you appreciate the effort that my daughter has put into this, she seems too really like you" the Overseer said, "of course sir. Your daughter is my best friend, whats not to like about her" Daniel said, "glad to hear it" the Overseer said, Daniel returned to his glass of Nuka Cola, then turned to Mrs. Palmer "having a good time Mrs. Palmer" Daniel asked, "I am having lovely time thanks for asking, my goodness I almost forgot, here is your present" Mrs. Palmer said, "Mrs. Palmer, you didn't need to get me anything, you just being here is better than any gift" Daniel said, "fiddlesticks, what ten year old doesn't like presents, I was ten once ya know, the vault was practically crowded back then. listen to me ramble, and you sitting there politely listening" Mrs. Palmer said, "it's no trouble ma'am, I love stories you know that" Daniel said, Old Lady Palmer chuckled a little "well anyways here you go, a sweet roll I just baked, all for you, no sharing required today" Mrs. Palmer said, "thanks ma'am" Daniel said, "attention everyone, it's time to cut the cake" Andy said, Andy was the vault resident Mr. Gusty servant bot, though he wasn't good at much but pest control, his chainsaw began to spin "no Andy wait" Amata said, but it was too late, the sheer power of the chainsaw had destroyed the cake "I'm terribly sorry" Andy said, Daniel walked behind the counter, and pulled out a small butter knife, he then cut his birthday sweet roll into equal shares for his party guests, Butch was the first to get a slice "thanks nose bleed, I will remember this the next time I see your face in the halls" Butch said, the guests each had a slice of the sweet roll, so Daniel just sat next to Stanley at the counter "how's the Pip-boy sport" Stanley asked, "fits like a glove, has little to no weight to it, in short I like it, did you fix it yourself" Daniel asked, "why yes, I'm glad you like it, oh and happy birthday" Stanley said. Jonas called over the intercom, James then told Daniel to meet him down in the reactor level, on his way he ran into Beatrice "happy birthday Daniel, my word how fast you've grown, seemes like only yesterday i was helping your father change your diapers" Beatrice said, "good morning Beatrice, go right on in, the party is still going on, hopefully Butch saved you a slice of sweet roll" Daniel said, "oh before I go, I wrote you a birthday poem for you, now I bet you have some where to be, so I will be going" Beatrice said, Daniel placed the poem in his pocket, and continued to the reactor level, Jonas stood next to a sealed door "what are you doing down here young man, i thought kids weren't allowed on the reactor level" Jonas said, "I am not a kid as of today Jonas" Daniel said, he presented Jonas his pip-boy "you sure are, pip-boy, and everything, anyways your father should be along soon" Jonas said, James came in a few seconds after Jonas said his name "you are probably wondering why i brought you down here, well the overseer thinks you are ready to handle vault responsibilities, so you're old enough to handle a gun" James said, he handed Daniel a pre-war BB gun, and some BB's "this is cool, thanks dad" Daniel said, "don't just thank me, Jonas also helped as well, you will not believe how hard it is to find a spring that small" James said, Jonas opened the sealed door, there were targets set up in the back "wow, a firing range as well" Daniel said, "that's right, now you can come down here whenever you like, and practice, try shooting those targets" James said, Daniel looked down the sights of the BB gun, and fired 3 rounds, each hit the bulls eye "look out a radroach, try seeing if you can take care of it" James said, Daniel aimed for the thorax, with four cracks of his BB gun, the radroach was no more "great job my boy, Jonas take a picture of me, and the big game hunter" James said, Daniel stood next to his father, they smiled for the camera, Jonas then snapped a picture.
