"You know, if we were meant to swim, the radiation would have given us gills." MacCready said as I heard that smug grin on his face.

So what if I had accidentally fell off of the bridge while walking on the edge and I may have fallen into the water even after countless warnings from MacCready.

"Oh, cram it." I snapped as I walked onto shore while MacCready took his sweet time getting down to me.

It was January, defiantly below freezing, and I was soaking wet.

Now was not the time for jokes.

"I told you, Alexis. Did I not?" MacCready taunted as I ignored him, walking up the broken road.

I had to get back to Home Plate and change clothes before I got hypothermia.

Luckily, Diamond City was only about an hour's walk from here.

I started walking up the broken road, ignoring all of MacCready's jokes and comments. I wasn't mad at him, I just wanted to get back home before I got sick.

If I got sick, that would make it harder to find Shaun.

"Hey, I was just joking." MacCready said as I looked towards him.

"I know, Mac. I need to get back home so I can change clothes and warm back up. It's freezing!" I told him as I started walking again before hearing some shuffling noises.

"Mac, what are you doing back there?" I asked as I felt something warm go over my shoulders.

It was MacCready's jacket.

"There. That should, uh, keep you from freezing to death." MacCready said as I smiled at him.

"Thank you, MacCready." I told as he rubbed the back of his neck.

I had to admit, it was funny seeing him all embarrassed.

"No problem." he replied as I lifted my Pip-Boy up and tuned the radio to Diamond City Radio.

Maybe falling into the water wasn't such a bad thing, after all.
