Hi! I am planning on writing a story about my adventure in Fallout 3 (or the way I wish it had happened), so please read and enjoy!
Chapter 1 Part 1: A Hero is Born
"Look at you," a voice said. "Look at you."
"Let's see are you a boy or a girl?" the same voice said. ""It's a boy! Catherine! We have a son!"
"Oh very strapping!" another voice said.
"I'm your daddy little guy," the first voice cooed. "Daddy."
"You're going to need a name aren't you, what do you think about Tyler? It's a good name eh?" the first voice whispered.
"It's a big world out there son, full of all sorts of people. I wonder what kind of person you're going to be..."
"James?" the second voice sounded like it was in pain. "James?"
"Catherine? Catherine?! Get the baby out of here, start compressions!" The first voice shouted.
"Come on you have to breathe!"
Chapter 1 Part 2: First Steps
"Don't look straight into the light now son," Dad said. "Come over here."
I waddled over to the playpen where Dad was. "Look at that. Only a year old and already walking like a pro!" Dad smirked.
"Now I know you don't like it when I leave you alone, but I'll be right back," Dad said, shutting the playpen's gate. He then proceeded to open the pressurized door into the other room and then the door shut behind him. The playpen's gate was easy to open, just lift up the handle and pull. I slowly walked over to a book lying on the floor outside my toy chest. I couldn't make out what it said, but Dad had told it to me so many times I knew what it said. You're SPECIAL! I flipped through the pages for a few seconds when Dad walked in, with a surprised look on his face.
"Well aren't you a little explorer. Does me right for trying to pin you in here," Dad said with a kind smile.
"Come here. I want to show you something." Dad pointed to a picture frame with some words in it and knelt down. "This was your mother's favorite quote. It's from the Bible. Revelation 21: 6. I am Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the Water of Life freely. Now," Dad said as he stood back up. "Let's go see if your little friend Amata wants to play."
Chapter 1 Part 3: First Day of School
I didn't know what to expect from my first day of school in Mr., uh....what was his name? Batch? Brutch? Brotch! That was it, Mr. Brotch. I asked Dad what he was like and he said he was a very nice man. I hoped so.
"Ok class take your seats we will start class in a little bit after I take roll call, let's see, Amata Almodavar?
"Here!" Amata yelled. It was nice to know I already had a friend, we've been friends since birth, and we'll be friends until death. Hopefully.
"Tyler Dalton?"
"I'm here," I said calmly.
"Butch Deloria?"
"Right here teach!" Butch said in his annoying voice. There was something about him I didn't like, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Freddie Gomez?"
"Uh, uh, here," Freddie said. He looked like he was scared of everything.
"Paul Hannon?"
"Here," Paul said. He seemed like a nice boy.
"Christine Kendall?"
"Right here," Christine said. She was really pretty.
"Wally Mack?"
"Right over here," Wally said. He acted like he was better than everybody there.
"Susie Mack?"
"Here," Susie said. She was just like her brother.
"Ok class we'll start with some mathematics..." Mr. Brotch began.
Several long hours later class was over and we received our homework assignments.
"Hey Amata do you wanna grab a snack in the cafeteria?" I asked.
"Sure. I'm really hungry-"
"Hahahaha Amata has a boyfriend! Amata has a boyfriend!" Butch interrupted Amata.
"Shut up no I don't!" And with that, Amata ran off in tears. Yep. I knew I wouldn't like Butch.
Chapter 1 Part 4: Happy Birthday!
"You turned the lights on too fast, you blinded the poor kid!" Officer Gomez snapped at Paul.
"Happy Birthday!" everybody exclaimed simultaneously. Dad greeted me, telling me how proud he was that I was already 10, along with the Overseer, who gave me either the best, or worst present of my life. A "new" Pip-Boy 3000. Then he told me I'd be getting some work assignment and blah-blah-blah, I really could care less. All that was on my mind was this new gizmo on my wrist. Amata was the next person to greet me, giving me a Grognak the Barbarian, followed by Old Lady Palmer giving me a delicious looking sweet roll. "Time to cut the cake!" Andy exclaimed with his circular saw raised in the air. He had a strange accent, British I think I remember Mr. Brotch say in class one day when we learned about the European Commonwealth. I always thought it would be cool to go visit there, to see if it survived the War.
RRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! SPLAT!!!! The cake was utterly destroyed by the saw and made in-edible. "I'm hungry!" I heard an annoying voice say. I turned to see Butch trying to grab my sweet roll. "That stupid robot destroyed the cake! Give me that sweet roll!"
"Go soak your head Butch I'm not giving this sweet roll to you!" I snapped back at him.
"Nobody talks like that to me!" Butch then raised up his fists and tried to sucker punch me. Officer Gomez, seeing what was going on, ran over to break it up.
"What's his problem anyway?" Amata asked when she saw the event.
"The jerk tried to steal my sweet roll so I told him off," I stated feeling proud that I told off one of the vault bullies.
"Tyler!" Dad shouted.
"Yeah?" I replied looking in his direction.
"I just talked to Jonas on the intercom, we have a surprise for you."
"I'll talk to you later Amata," I said to her walking away.
I ran out of the cafeteria and right into Ms. Beatrice. I liked Ms. Beatrice, she smelled sweet and was really pretty. I liked her.
"Oh! Excuse me dearie!" she exclaimed. "Happy Birthday, I wrote you a poem."
I thanked her and she bent down and hugged me. She was totally into me, I thought to myself with a smile on my face. My vault suit still smelled a little bit like her when I put it away that night, and I decided that it would be my lucky suit.
I ran down the stairs into the reactor room to see Jonas.
"What are you doing down here? I thought kids weren't allowed on the reactor level," Jonas joked.
"I'm not a kid I'm 10 years old!" I protested.
"Haha I forgot you're a "man" now," Jonas joked, putting emphasis on the word "man".
"Are you ready for your surprise?" I turned around to face my Dad.
"Sure what is it?!" I asked excitedly.
"I got you your very own BB gun! Jonas and I fixed it up, do you know how hard it is to find a spring this small?" Dad showed how big it was by pinching his thumb and pointer finger together.
"Good thing Butch "misplaced" that switchblade of his."
"Thanks Dad! This is so cool! But we can't shoot it here!" I protested.
"It's ok we've set up a target range for you. You can come down here anytime you like. AFTER all your homework is all done," Dad smiled. I grabbed the BB gun ever so carefully. Its sleek black metal barrel with the smooth wood stock, it was amazing, even if it was over 200 years old. But Dad and Jonas made it look as if it was fresh off the line. He gave me some BBs to pour in the little hole at the end of the barrel, I dropped a few, but Dad helped me pick them up.
I pushed open the metal door into a room with a lot of boxes and crates, but at the end of the hall in the back of the room was 3 targets.
"Just aim," Dad explained. "and shoot."
I lifted the barrel of the gun and pulled the end of the stock into the crevice of my shoulder. I could see how the little tip on the end of the barrel lined up with the sight near the stock, and I lined it up with the center of the target perfectly.
THWAP! The BB spun the target all the way around 360 degrees leaving me feel accomplished. I smiled up at my Dad and he smiled back at me and told me to pull back the lever to shoot again. But before I did a Radroach crawled into the target range.
"Uh-oh, a Radroach, think you can take care of it with your BB gun?" Dad asked. Jonas watched patiently.
I took aim and fired a shot directly into its head. It was still crawling, but it was acting really crazy and freaking out. I took aim again and fired a shot into its body. It finally stopped moving and I walked forward to claim my trophy.
"Ah son, don't touch that, we'll get that later," Dad pleaded. "Here Jonas, get a shot of me with the Big Game Hunter!"
Jonas pulled out a camera and I slid closer to my Dad.
"Smile!"
So we meet the Hero, Tyler Dalton, and I am hoping to get him to Escape! by the end of next chapter, but I'll see how it works out.
