(Hey guys, sorry that this is late; needed to clear my head, rethink some things, and pull through some negative reviews. Either way, enjoy the new chapter!)

As the sun dawned over the horizon, Liam was already out with Logan scouting the area of the town. There wasn't much of a threat aside from a giant ant on the outskirts of town. After scouting for an hour more he returned to his home, Gabby was still asleep in his bed. She squirmed slightly as if having a nightmare.

'I know this isn't your fault Gabby, but you need to leave, the guards will be here any minute now. Just go!' the sirens blared and the vault door screeched as it opened a bright light awaited her, the light consumed her and she jumped up in a frenzied state.

"Oh god… just a nightmare…" she quietly said to herself.

Liam walked in worryingly seeing her current state.

"Hey are you alright? You look like you saw a ghost."

She looked up at him unable to express what she saw "I'm… I'm fine, I had a bad dream was all." she responded half heartedly.

Liam nodded seeing her shake in bed "Well whenever you're ready I'll be in the kitchen with some food" he replied.

She nodded and stared at her pip-boy looking at the time, all of a sudden she felt a nudge against her side. When she looked up Logan was panting and placing a paw on her leg; she then smiled and got up to enter the kitchen. Liam was looking through the cabinets for his rations.

"Come on I can't be out already…" he said to himself before noticing Gabby "hey so we might have to go for a grocery run today in megaton"

"What's Megaton? You mean like the bomb?" she asked

"Well yes and no. It's easier to just show you than explain it"

She simply nodded and stood up "Should we get going then?"

Liam nodded, calling over Logan, and grabbing his rifle "Alright let's go then" he replied opening the door for her and Logan to exit then followed behind them closing the door.

The sun shined over the wasteland as the small group walked up the road to megaton where over the hill they can see a large turbine peaking from the top of the hill and below the turbine a large wall began to form under and around the turbine. A large door began to open and a small protectron waddled out to the front, Liam smiled and ran up to the robot.

"Hey Deputy Weld, how are you?"

The robot buffered then answered "Welcome to Megaton. The bomb is perfectly safe. We promise."

"It's good to see you too buddy, anyways give Lucas Simms my regards" he said walking in.

Gabby followed behind him eyeing the robot and seeing the scratched out RobCo logo. The second big pair of gates opened and the town of Megaton was revealed before them. He walked to a bar named "The Brass Lantern", and right by the bar Gabby stood in shock seeing a giant bomb in the center of the city. Her geiger counter spiked and ticked, Liam looked over and patted on the seat beside him. When she acknowledged his offer she moved towards him clinging to the wall.

"This is why it's called Megaton? Are these people crazy?"

"Nah, the things been a dud since the town was built and Cromwell is always praising the damn thing" he explained

"Aren't you afraid that maybe it could blow up?

He shook his head "It'll be alright Lucas Simms and I disarmed the thing a while back when Burke tried to blow this place up."

She nodded before then Jenny Stahl stared at the two of them with a small grin.

"So Liam you finally got a girl to stick around with you?" she giggled

"What? It's nothing like that, I'm just helping her find her dad"

Gabby giggled at her comment "Don't worry he's not really my type"

"Yeah yeah whatever, anyways have you heard anything new around here Jenny?"

"I've heard that Moira is still looking for people to help her with her book again" Jenny informed serving another customer.

Liam looked over at Gabby then nodded "Well I guess that's where were going next"

She nodded and stood up from the bar and stared at the bomb.

"Let's go then" she replied

He led her up a large ramp to a building labeled "Craterside Supply". The two opened the door and a large black cloud emerged from the doorway and into the outdoor air.

Liam sighed "Alright let's see what she did this time" he said walking inside covering his face.

Gabby nodded and followed behind him having Logan wait outside

"Moira?! Moira what happened?!"...
