THE ENDLESS AFTERNOON
Chapter two of my Fallout: New Vegas story, I decided to add the Lone Wanderer and Sarah Lyons (Fallout 3) for the fun of it. This story is just getting started so I'm just adding whatever the hell comes to mind, I might go make and fix various things with it, enjoy chapter 2.
"How are my two young love birds?" the King questioned the courier with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
The courier began clearing the smoke away from his face before glancing down at the robotic dog placing his eyes on the clear visible brain, he was very impressed by the technology behind it all, "Nice dog my good man".
The king began patting his dog, "Rex is a good old dog but let's cut to the chase, last night was such an honour to marry you two". He started to inhale on the cigarette before exhaling out again.
The courier began nodding slightly but as a matter of fact he didn't remember a single moment of the previous night, but clearly wanted to get out of the hotel. He did notice Cass standing beside him now, who was now fully clothed and ready to go her separate way as well.
"Whoa good looking, where do you think you're going", the king began checking out the long legged red head beauty.
"Yes Cass, where the hell are going? Leaving your husband", the courier added.
Cass span at the courier squinting at him, "I'm sure last night was fucking great, but I don't do relationships, alright?"
In an instant, Cass grabbed her hat, rifle and bag leaving in flash, the two men couldn't resist the urge to check her out as she left. "What a mighty fine arse, you're such a lucky man", the king chuckled.
"Yeah, whatever I'm sure she'll forget me in a week", he shrugged grabbing his equipment ready to leave and go about his mission, "See you later King, seeing how I dealt with Benny and had some loving companionship it's time for me to wander off again".
He watched on as the courier also disappeared, the king sighed and began talking to his old friend, "You see that Rex, that's what I call young love", Rex just panted staring directly and confusingly into the eyes of his owner.
The King suddenly realised his groupies were still holed up in his room, "Come on Rex, I got some unfinished business to attend". The dog just barked and followed his owner back to the school of impersonation.
After twenty or so minutes walking down the road Cass realised something was missing, she began checking her bag, "Whisky? Check. Knife? Check. Ammo? Check, everything seems to be here so what the hell am I missing?" She began feeling herself and it finally came to her mind, she had left her father's pendant in the hotel room last night, "OH FUCKING HELL!" Cass turned and cursed all the way back to the hotel, she couldn't stand seeing the courier again It was a living nightmare for her.
On the other side of New Vegas the courier began wandering aimlessly he was happy and content, "Fuck yeah, killed that son of a bitch Benny, took his beautiful Maria away from him, and got laid by a beautiful red head woman, mmm that arse looked so good", hungry and thirsty, the courier began searching for a food market.
"What do you mean you don't take caps? What is this shit?" the courier could see a very young man arguing with the older man behind the stall.
"Sorry friend, I already told you we only take NCR money, you can exchange your caps for NCR money", the young man with golden brown hair growled at the owner and spun around when he spotted the courier he could see him chuckling and shaking his head. "You came to the wrong place my friend; NCR fucked New Vegas in the arse along with its people". The man raised his eyebrows before smiling and agreeing with the courier it was then that an incredibly beautiful very tall blond woman stood beside the younger man.
The courier as usual began checking her out and whistled at the glorious sight, "Friend of yours?" he grinned at the beauty. The woman just ignored the couriers ogling eyes; she could clearly see that the man was a womanizer and a lousy one too.
Both men suddenly spotted that both of them were wearing pip boys however the couriers one was slightly different, it was gold while the other was black, "Is that a pip boy?" the man pointed towards the couriers wrist curiously, the courier just waved it around mockingly, "Even better, it's the pimp boy", he began winking at the blonde woman who just rolled her eyes.
"Did you I just hear you right? That's called a pimp boy?" the man questioned unsure whether to be intrigued or completely disturbed. "Yep, you heard right it's the pimp boy, an improvement over the base pip boy". The two men began a heavy conversation with the female companion just listening without a word coming from her mouth.
"What's your name kid?" the courier was interested to get to know these two interesting strangers, they seemed alright to his standards especially the girl. "My comrades usually call me the Lone Wanderer".
"Got it, I'll call you loner", the courier began joking around with the young man as if they knew each other for a long time. "Sure, whatever you want to call me and what about you?"
The courier smiled broadly his dark eyes locking onto the blond woman's turquoise eyes, "Well, have any of you heard about long dick Johnson, well he's my long distant relative". The two strangers switched glances and shrugged their arms, "Sorry, we come from the east, we live near the ruins of Washington DC, word gets around very slowly in the east, never heard of long dick um Johnson".
The courier was hit by shock, "Are you serious? You never heard of long dick Johnson? Great that was my opening line for this beautiful young lady sitting next to you", the woman gave a frown to the courier without even blinking.
He gave a heavy sigh before properly introducing himself, "I'm usually called by my nickname Drei or Dre and sometimes, well I mean most of the time people just call me courier or the courier".
"Dre? What's that supposed to stand for, Andre? Adrian?"
"I dunno, my parents used to just call me Dre, I think its stands for Andre but who gives a rat's ass hey?" the courier crossed his arms his eyes not letting go of the blond woman. "What's your name sexy?" he leaned in towards the girl who backed up and scoffed at the staring man.
"Come on, you can tell me, wait let me guess you look like a Jessica, am I right?" the girl wasn't interested in playing the couriers games but still began talking with him.
"No way, you are way off, Courier", she started teasing him and began enjoying it somehow, "If I tell you, will you stop staring at me and shut the hell up?"
"Sorry babe, no promises there, how can I stop looking at a goddess like you? And if I stop talking, well let's just say I can't stop talking it's my specialty for god's sake".
She started avoiding his eyes, his incredibly alluring dark eyes, because she knew where she came from dark eyed people where very rare, and she was a sucker for dark eyed men similar to the couriers.
"OKAY, my names' Lyons, Sarah Lyons", she was just as surprised as her companion she would never tell anyone her name especially her last name, she felt disappointed at herself. The three fell into an awkward silence; it was the courier who first broke the silence. "So what are you two because I can definitely tell you guys are not NCR, Boomers? Khans? Crimson Caravan?"
"We are brotherhood of steel wait I mean oh crap", Sarah punched the wanderers arm, and her look was furious, "Dammit we weren't supposed to tell anyone, you and your big mouth is going to get us killed". The young man scratched his head and turned to the courier giving him an awkward smile.
The courier clicked his tongue tapping his arm, "Chill you two, I have nothing against the brotherhood your secrets safe with me, actually make sure you give NCR a kick in their fucking balls and end their damn hold over New Vegas".
Both Sarah and the wanderer exhaled in relief however Sarah was still suspicious of the courier, she didn't trust him especially since now he knew who they were, even good looking guys like the courier had a different personality when tempted, unlike the wanderer she was a seasoned warrior as well as beautiful and she stood her ground, "Remember, you tell anyone who we are, anyone, I will personally hunt you down".
"I wouldn't mind you hunting me down babe", he began joking around with Sarah who still wasn't impressed by the overconfident personality of the courier. Just before Sarah could give a comeback the trio heard gunshots and screaming, the courier reached for his handgun Maria, while the wanderer and his partner Sarah armed themselves with laser and plasma pistols, "Fancy shit", the courier muttered to himself.
One thug ran up to the courier with a knife in his hand as he was about to strike him, Sarah shot a laser at the thug and in an instant he was nothing more than a pile of ash. Outside several of Mr Houses security bots were fighting was seemed to appear as dozens of dangerous thugs. A ghoul knocked the wanderer to his feet who was struggling greatly with the ghoul, the courier seeing this shot the attacking ghoul in the back several times.
Just as everything seemed fine a thug armed with a rocket launcher began firing, "HOLY FUCKING SHIT! MOVE!" the courier screamed warning the brotherhood partners of the impending attack. The three ran to a nearby alleyway but decided to split up there, the courier stopped for a while, catching his breath. Four junkies jumped on the unsuspecting courier, knocking Maria out of his hand, "Fine let's fucking do this the old fashion way motherfuckers", the courier began his stance and began punching one of the thugs in the stomach before pushing him against the wall, the second larger thug took out a razor and began swinging it towards Dre.
The courier was slashed once on the arm but in a fury he managed to kick the thug in the rips forcing him to drop his razor, in a flash the courier picked up the razor slicing the large thug's throat, on the floor, the thug could only wait for death to take him. Gurgling sounds came the dying man, even though having a razor in his hand the courier was overpowered by the three, as two of the thugs held Dre back the leader of the junkies took out a large knife preparing to cut the couriers throat the same way he did to their friend. A bullet suddenly whizzed past hitting one of the thugs in the head, killing him instantly, afraid the other two fled from the scene.
The courier turned to see the King standing firmly and proud alongside two other King members, forcing himself to get up the courier gave smile to the King before putting up his middle finger, "What fucking took you so long?", the King walked over to the unique Maria tossing it to the courier who caught it without a problem, "I was in the middle of something".
Meanwhile Cass searched all over the hotel but found no sign of her pendant, distraught Cass headed to the nearest bar to drink away whisky. She pulled up a barstool and ordered her usual, Whisky with rum and scotch on the side. Barely an hour past and Cass was already hit on by five men, uninterested by the lowlifes in the area, she gave them all the same words, "Fuck off". Cass was very picky when it came towards men, she ensured they weren't ugly, she liked them sexy and masculine, averaged heighted, dark eyed and she preferred if they had scars, because she found scars incredibly attractive it meant the men saw their share of fights as long as the scars didn't ruin the man's face or body by being too large or ugly.
Two men suddenly busted into the bar howling like wolfs, everyone in the room fell quiet, everyone feared these two maniacs who were renowned for their dishonourable acts towards women. The leader and more brutal one was extremely big around six foot seven and had a brutish look on his face, the other was younger and much shorter, slimmer but still very dangerous. The large one had his eye on Cass, he walked towards her pulling up a bar stool to her and began talking to her, hoping to get into her pants, "Hey lady, how about you and I go the back and I can show you my very big friend, what do say".
Cass just sneered and chuckled, "You might look big, but I bet you have a very tiny penis, don't you, you fucking prick". Enraged by Cass's response he grabbed her by her wrist dragging her outside, no one wanted to intervene, "It wasn't a question, it was a response", the younger man held Cass back while the leader moved closer to Cass. Cass couldn't move, the men were stronger than her, she tried freeing herself but to no avail, she did however manage to kick the larger man in the gentiles who groaned in pain. He backhanded Cass who was now bleeding slightly from her nose, "That's for kicking me bitch".
He then began pulling her hair with one hand while grabbing her shirt with the other hand, "Get your hands off my wife you fucking ugly bastard", the voice was all to similar it was the courier, and even though she would hate to admit it she was glad to see her lovable jerk.
Both the courier and the large man exchanged punches and kicks and to Cass's surprise her 'husband' managed to knock out the larger man in a few hits, in that instant she felt an attraction to him she hadn't felt before. As the man lied on the floor unconscious the courier kicked him in the head one last time, "Fucking rapist". The man's companion let go of Cass and cursed at the courier, "We'll meet again count on it".
Cass walked towards the courier who was already bruised from his previous fight against the junkies, "Hey babe did you miss me". There it was again, her admiration for him dropped once more as he started getting cocky and overconfident again.
"Looking for this Rose?" the courier reached into his satchel tacking out an object, a pendant, Cass's rose pendant. She quickly grabbed the pendant, snatching it out of his hand, "What no thanks, or better yet no kiss, because you will not believe the day I had".
Cass wiped the blood off her nose and leaned down picking up her hat which she had dropped, "Thanks for nothing courier". She began walking back to the bar, "I'm going back for a drink".
"Wait I'm coming too, how about we see who can drink more?" the man taunted Cass happily walking beside her, "Fine but you're paying", Cass smirked at the courier.
"Gee that's the thanks for saving you?" the courier finished raising his arms in the air.
Well there's my chapter two finished, I will probably add my chapter three very soon. I actually had a tough decision to make the Lone Wanderer male or female, but in the end I chose male. Next chapter will be The Endless Evening, where the Courier and Cass both team up to take down the Van Graffs.
