"As far as I can see, your a perfectly healthy, young 16 year old boy, so yes you have to take your G.O.A.T exam, now run and get to class before your late." James was kind saying that saying that, but still stern.

"Hey dad I want to talk, about mom, I just felt that today I could be getting a job mom might have had." He was asking his dad that while he was putting on his vault 101 jumpsuit shirt. James looked a bit sad but then put on a straight face again.

"Your mom was pretty, she loved everyone. She tried to find justice for everyone, she tried to find good. She was amazing. I-I mi- miss her..." James was starting to tense up so Blake gave him a hug, a high five said his goodbye exiting the room, he could hear yelling of what sounded like butch, the tunnel snakes yelling at Amata down the hall, so he decided to grab a Med-X and stimpack on the way out.

When he was in the waiting room, he saw Stanley and then talked a bit about his illness and what would help, starting to run late he started to race walk out.

"Hey, hey, hey sport! Been awhile since you stopped in to see us aye? Big G.O.A.T test today, don't worry you might get to work with us!" Jonas was in a unbelievably good mood he handed Blake a nuka cola. I'm his way out he started walking faster to the end of the hall to find Amata.

"I can show you a real tunnel snake Amata ;-)" butch gave a seductive voice to Amata "Ha, give it to her butch." "Yeah show her how us tunnel snakes rule!" Paul and wally walls were chanting them at butch to try and "get" Amata.

"Hey Amata are these guys being assholes again?" Amata started to get even worse and decided to finally speak up and tell him what's the matter.

"Yeah, the usual but worse. They think I've gotten hotter now I'm on the volleyball team, and have been in the gym they now think I'm 'thicc' that's how they spell it." Amata was always attractive she was normal size not thin, not day, she has been hitting the gym. So she was now a bit skiner and had bigger boobs and a butt. To Blake, she was the prettiest Hispanic he ever laid eyes on.

Blake gave a look that leader with experience would give and said "don't worry Amata, I got it!" He turned to butch and started talking to him.

"Hey butch, is wally your slave, he just follows your rules right!" Wally started to look pissed "shut up you spaz!" Butch grinned menacingly. "You ready for your beat down, punk?" Blake nodded yes. Just then butch charged at him with Paul, Blake uppercutted Paul in the has, knocking him on in the ground. He slides out of the way of butch sending him running into the wall. He then Judo choped wallet in the neck before he could move.

After Blake giving more of a beating to the tunnel snakes they gave up "All Right, you win well leave the girl alone, come on tunnel snakes, this twerp is not even worth our time!" They then walked into the classroom

After a minute or 2 of talking, Blake and Amata talked about "meeting after class" and then walked into the classroom and sat at their seats.

Their teacher Mr brotch greeted them. "Ready for your G.O.A.T exam." Blake stood tall and replied. "Yep sure am, I bet I will ace it." Brotch looked happy. "I'm sure you are especially since its multiple choice with no wrong answers!"

1 hour and 5 minutes later

"All Right right the infamous G.O.A.T, this would be a perfect time to relax or pray in case needed, anyhow don't forget to turn in your test. You don't want to know what happens to 'people who fail the G.O.A.T' all right have a nice day. They all handed in their test and Blake was the last in line.

"So Mr Washington, your going to be a vault military commander and possible overseer, your going to be like Eisenhower the man who pla-" brotch was cut off by Blake. "Eisenhower, perhaps one of the greatest generals, Republican and adored President. Planned the d-day invasion and was known for strategy in time of war." Brotch looked impressed, more then his own dad was when Blake caught his first touchdown pass. "Well you have been studying."

After a few more moments of Blake being flattered and him and brotch talking. Blake then decided to eat some good with Amata and go to her room. He unzipped his shirt and Amata got into a. Tank top and shorts. They started to hug and kiss.

"Hey Amata, what do you think it's like outside the vault, we heard stories and rumors. What if society has rebuilt and unaware, what if we will die out never knowing we could have lived a normal pre war style life, I want to leave one day, see life. Does that make sense to you?"

Amata was his best friend and lover, she always agreed and understood him. "Well life could be better but until my dad does something, we won't leave unless we have to or there is a rebellion to drive us out, but no matter what, I still love you." After some more "embrace" moments he gets up and leaves due to having football practice.

They meet in the sports section, the turf felt and look real, the men started warming up by playing catch. "Hey butch sorry about earlier, I just got protective." They continued playing catch while butch laughed and replied. "Heh, it's all right you were 'the protector' you always cared, we're cool, but we're still not good friends or something you dig?" Blake nodded yes and continued warming up.

Over the years butch and Blake started becoming friendlier hoping one day they could be friends, and they could settle their differences in wrestling, football, dodgeball and sometimes in baseball (depending who is batting and who is pitching, ha!)

Coach Rice spoked up. He was related to a NFL all star named Jerry rice so he what he was doing in sports. "Were playing a team with good speed defense, we need to be faster and stronger! Birch and this side go practice trucking while Blake and this side practice running, now all of you double time, move it!"

Blake and butch departed away from each other, preparing for a difficult task, this one is a piece of cake compared to the next one in the next chapter. But hey, life is rough and you have to overcome it. So you just have to...

"Make the best of it, now let's go!" The pass was thrown 67 yards down the field in to the hands of butch. Blake was tackled before the ball left goes hand so it was kind of wobbly, anyhow they scored!

"A Randy Moss like catch! 67 yard touchdown for the vault dwellers, the radroachs are now falling behind!" There was only 1 school so the coach's would have a draft to pick their players.

1 hour later.

"Great game pal, your going to end up like Tom Brady or John Elway at this point, and I'm proud to have a son who is happy of what he can do!" Blake blushed, he was clearly flattered. "Thanks dad, I'm hungry, Taylor has made pies for the football teams at the dinner."

all right I added some pop culture and references, I thought the lone wanderer would be more of an athlete bein strong, beating up bullies and being on the soccer and baseball team. Feedback is appreciated, I got my own computer so I should be able to up date daily.
