Months later.

Miharu and Junior were getting on board a train.

Miharu then spoke up to her boyfriend, "you sure about this? I don't feel right going on an NCR mission this close to your mother's due date."

Junior then held up all five fingers on his left hand, "she's five months." He then held up two fingers on his other hand, "this mission will be at most two months long. So by time we get back she'll be seven months in. that's a full two months to spare honey."

Miharu got on the train with Junior, "ok so why do they need us?"

Junior then said, "they found vault seven! Underwater below a lake. They need people with gills to explore it!" Junior then pointed to his gills, "and everyone else with this are unavailable, or already on missions."

Miharu put her hands on her hips as they found their seats. "Well I don't' have gills!"

Junior sat down and opened his pack back to reveal Mirelurk cakes, "which is why I have this Mirelurk cakes eat one you can breathe underwater for half an hour. And the reports show the vault was made to be underwater so we will only need to be underwater to swim to the vault entrance"

Miharu crossed her arms and touched up her twin tails, "Ok well I still think you should be with your mother who's pregnant!"

Junior rubbed the back of his head, "I wish I could but sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do."

Miharu looked at him and crossed her arms, "Oh so there is a matter of pride underlining, I won't' go farther on it. It'll be a good laugh when you reveal it to me at the end."

Junior smiled.

Junior's point of view.

I looked at my Miharu, my girlfriend. I love her so much. Which is why I am taking this mission the pay is just enough to get that Ring. The perfect ring to ask her to marry me with.

I smiled she things the man's pride part of his will be funny, wait till I get down on one knee and ask her to be my wife, that'll be a priceless reaction.

I then adjusted my had as I got a message on my pip-boy. The message was from my father, it said "Good luck son"

I replied back, "thanks dad" I then shut the thing off and fell asleep on the long train ride and woke up at our stope.

Return to third point of view.

After some walking the two came to a lake and put their weapons in water proof case.

Miharu eat a Mirelurk cake as she said, "Ok let's get this over with."

The two then jumped underwater both breathing the water.

Miharu felt her neck and asked, "How the hell do those cakes work?"

Junior pulled her along as he swam and said, "Doesn't matter but unlike me you have a timer before you lose the ability to breath water."

The two soon came to a metal dome with seven on it, it looked like a diver's entrance, a man made air pocket along people in.

The couple swam under it and then up into the air pocket, were they got out of the water on to a metal floor that had a hall that lead to the real entrance.

As they walked they pulled their weapons out of the cases and rearmed themselves.

Junior then plugged his turned his pip-boy back on and plugged it into the door opening the vault.

Once inside they saw an NCR Ranger, dressed in NCR riot gear, but instead of the normal mask, he had a rebreather, and goggles still hiding his face.

The Ranger had a trident in his left hand as he saluted them with his right, "Welcome to vault Seven! I'm Ranger Thompson. Head of the exploring team." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a rebreather and handed it to Miharu, "here this rebreather will pull air out of the water allowing you to breath normal, without the time limit of the Mirelurk cakes. You will need it half of this vault is flood."

Miharu put it on and bowed, "thank you head ranger."

Junior crossed his arms looking jealous, "ok now what is our first assignment?"

Ranger Thompson then said, "this is level one. It's dry half of level two is flood, and all levels below that are completely flood, but we've been blocked by a large group of Mirelurks. We ran out of ammo so we had to all switch to close range which isn't fairing to well."

Junior then reached into his bag and pulled out some spare ammo rounds, for about five different guns, "here this should help with your ammo problem. Now just point the way and we will handle those crabs!"

Ranger Thompson point down the hall, "straight ahead they made the passage way to level's one and two their nest.

Junior nodded and him and Miharu ran off as they pulled out their guns.

Junior span around his solar scorcher and the reverse engineered alien blaster his grandfather gave him. "I don't know how good my solar gun will be in an underwater vault, not really a lot of sun light under the water!"

Miharu readied her shotgun as she said, "then you will just have to make more use of your grandpa's gift!"

They then came to the stair way to level two where Mirelurks came up.

Junior took aim and fired both guns at the incoming Mirelurks. Shots blasting off their legs, Claws, and one crab's head!"

Miharu then fired her shotgun the buck shot spreading hitting all of them in some place harming them.

Junior quickly side stepped a Mirelurk who tried to hit him with his claw as he holstered his now empty solar powered energy gun. Junior drew his flaming sword and slashed the Mirelurk in half killing it.

Miharu stabbed a Mirelurk in the head with the blade on her gun making two things happen. One her Barnette broke off and was stuck in the now dead crab.

Miharu growled as she pulled her machete out and slashed off a Mirelurks head, "NOW I NEED TO REPLACE MY BAYONET!"

Junior smiled as he slashed the crabs and shoot at them with his still working gun, "got dam it! You're so beautiful when your angry!" Junior then slashed apart the last Mirelurk.

Miharu then reload her shot gun and looked through the scope down the stairs to see the eggs, "Ok just the eggs left!" she then pointed her gun down the stairs and pulled the trigger cracking the eggs destroying them and the nest.

Junior smiled as he spoke, "ok then the nest is destroyed we can go report in."

The two then ran back to Ranger Thompson who hand them a bag of caps and NCR cash as he said, "thanks for clearing up the next. Also thanks for the ammo rounds. It will help. Now then on level two the overseers' computer system is mostly in working order but the screen is damaged so it no longer works. I want you both to go down there and for Junior to plug his pip-boy into the system to see what happened to the dwellers if they were any to begin with."

Junior and Miharu nodded as they ran to go down the stairs to level two.

The water was up to their knees. Miharu then noticed an Armor with the door fallen off, she looked in the weapons inside were rust to the point of being un fix able, but the work benches still looked to be in working order.

Miharu then reached into her bag and pulled a spare Machete, "I'm going to go in here and replace my bayonet. You go on ahead."

Junior nodded and went to the end of the wall in to the overseer's room where he pulled his pip-boy into the computer.

Soon enough his pip-boy became the replacement screen for the overseer's computer allowing him to look at its files it was mostly empty like the computer was not used. "only thing here is a file about the social experiment the vault was made for. It was made to see if people could go crazy form being underwater. No dwellers are in the records, so looks like no one made it to this vault."

Junior unplugged from the computer and turned to leave where he meets up with Miharu, "this vault is unused. No one made it here in time."

Miharu was holding her newly rebladed gun as she said, "Dang, never heard that before."

The two then went upstairs and once more reported to Ranger Thompson.

Ranger Thompson then spoke up, "Well an unused vault, never heard of that before. But no one ever making it here before explains the lax of bodies, and other traces of humanity within it. Now then normally when we find a vault without dwellers, we look for the Garden of Eden creation kits, or G.E. ."

Thompson saw Miharu's confusion, "they are machines that Terra form patches of land allowing us to remove radiation and undo the damage of the great war. Most vaults had a few."

Miharu nodded along, "ok and as this vault was made to see who long before people went crazy form being underwater this place might not have even one."

Thompson nodded as he said, "Yeah. That's just what I'm thinking. Tomorrow I'll have all rangers spread out and search level two and three for any sign of a G.E.C.K. It's sad that this vault only had three levels. Right now go rest up eat and sleep. The chief is making large crab boil from the Mirelurks you two killed. After you eat the barracks are to the right."

Miharu and junior nodded.

Later on the couple were in a barracks.

Junior was attacking four knifes to a pole to make a knife spear, "As we're going to be underwater my shishikebab is going to be pretty useless so I going to need a new melee weapon. "

Miharu smiled as she laid on a bed and said, "that's my weapon nerd."

Junior smiled as he sat down beside her, "you know you love me!"

Miharu smiled and gave him a quick kiss, "yeah but still, how nuts would it be if we did find one of those G.E.C.K things? I mean we could undo the damage of a nuclear war for crying out loud."

Junior rubbed the back of his head, 'it would be nuts! I mean those things also destroy everything to terra form it, so we would have to be careful."

Miharu rolled her eyes, "Only you would look at the weapon half of a miracle Machine honey."

Junior smiled, "Yeah." Miharu then sat up and put a hand on her shoulder and asked, "Ok I was going to wait for the end but what is this thing so important your pride made you take this job.

Junior then got up and pulled out a picture of a diamond ring with its price on it, "I need the cash to buy this for you."

Miharu looked at it, "But that's a wedding ring." Miharu then put it together her eyes widen she then said. "I do!" she then passes out.

Mihaur's point of view.

Boyfriend wants to get money to buy a wedding ring for me. My boyfriend wanted to propose. My boyfriend did propose! I said I do! I'm engaged!

I'm engaged! I'm going to be misses Miharu Yoshi! I'm getting married! YES!"

Back to third person point of view

Miharu was smiling in her sleep.

Junior smiled and laid down beside her and held her happily. "Good night honey."

Meanwhile.

Yuuko was in her house, in bed, dressed in a night gown yawning as she rubbed her pregnant bell when she stopped, "My mother senses are tingling."

Akihsia then walked in and said, "Well I guess Junior decide to propose early then."

Yuuko then sat up, "Wait junior planned on asking Miharu to marry him and you know, .. AND YOU DIDN'T TELL MEE!?"

Akihsia held up his hands, "Honey it was a moment between Father and son. He asked me to keep it quit."

Yuuko then heard Akihisa's pip-boy ding in the night stand's draw so she pulled it out to see a message for junior, "she said yes!"

Yuuko then dropped it and began to cry, "MY BABY BOY IS GETTING MARRIED!"

Akihsia then walked over to his wife and held her.

Yuuko snuggled into her husband's chest, "I'm not ready!"

Akihisa held on to his wife and said, "there there honey. He's all grown up now. Our boy is a man now. There is nothing we can do about it."

Yuuko cried, "But if he's getting married then he'll have a baby making us grandparents. I'm pregnant I don't' want to think about being a grandma! I want to think about being a mommy!"

Akihsia rocked her, 'It's ok it's ok!" Yuuko then fell asleep in his arms and he smiled.

Akihsia laid down holding his wife and kissed her head, "good night honey."
