A/N: I thank all of you for being patient! This is a new chapter! I had a whole different vision years ago but playing Fallout 3 again, I got some new ideas and figured out what the conflict would be! I hope you enjoy! Thank you for being patient! I also made some of my own ideas of what I wanted a pipboy to do. Like it can store things by scanning them and making them into pixels that are stored on the pipboy. As if you're in the game. (game logic for hidden items.)

Celeste slowly opened her eyes, and as her vision came into focus she stared into the chiseled face of her soulmate.
She still couldn't believe that this past bully, would end up being the love of her life. Things change when you start seeing the good in people. All she wanted was to fight her feelings, but this wasteland helped her embrace those holed up feelings and emotions.
"What are you staring at, Cela?" Butch's voice broke Celeste's thoughts. So she shook her head and responded, "Nothing, my love. I was just admiring what's mine before I go into Capitol Wasteland."
"Oh yeah...well I second that...minus going out into that dump!"

Wadsworth had the table set with breakfast.
"Good morning, sir and ma'am! I have prepared breakfast we have fresh pears, sweet rolls, and some refreshing purified water! The best Megaton has to offer!"
"Wonderful, thank you Wadsworth. Did you go to the markets for this?"
"The sweet rolls I made myself. I hope you enjoy. I found a pre-war recipe in my memory bank!"
"It is very delicious. Thank you again. I also wanted to know if my bag is made? The town is seeing me off today. I need to be prepared."
The robot-butlers red eyes flickered and he floated to the closet door and fetched a bag. It was filled with everything Celeste would need in the wasteland.
"This is perfect. Thank you!"

The town was bustling with new caravans, traders, and travelers. Butch was seeing Dr. Almodovar and Celeste was addressing the town before she left.
"Hello, Mayor Faust. I believe we already met. I am Amos Sica. You can meet the rest of the science team after your exploration. It would be our pleasure. I just wanted to address the new and improved pipboy. It scans any of your items and transforms them into pixels which are stored digitally on said device. It makes travel far easier. I just need to borrow your pipboy to install the chip...May I?"
"Yes...Of course Mr. Sica."
"Please, call me Dr. Sica. Mister is too informal for my staff and me." As Dr. Sica installed the chip, the settlers of Megaton were saying their farewells to the mayor.
"Here you are, ma'am. You may now scan your bag and all the items inside will become pixelated and organized on your device. We will make sure all the pipboys we build will have this feature for The Megas. Enjoy."
Butch was making his was from Amata's office with help from his friend. His arm in a fresh new sling. He used his good arm to hug Celeste. and Amata threw her arms around her after Butch moved to the side. Their friend still did not know of their newfound happiness together. In this moment of excitement and fear, she wasn't sure if now would be the best time to tell Amata.
Celeste shot Butch a look, one of concern. He took it that it was not the moment to share their news. So he held his tongue, it was up to his girlfriend. She called the shots.
"Amata I'm going to miss you. Please take good care of, Butch! I won't be gone too long. I just want to see if there are any places we can expand our home to."

Celeste was able to run with ease in her metal armor. It wasn't heavy because she was used to intense workouts after she finished her G.O.A.T exam. She didn't want to just be thought of as a weak shift supervisor. They would recognize her as strong and independent. She wanted to run as fast and far as she wanted, but she could only do so much. There would be moments where she had to stop and catch her breath. She checked her map and continued to go NE from Megaton. Her mind was stuck on the Super-Duper Mart. It could change Megatons entire operation if they can secure it and post their officers here.
Celeste had to walk now because if she got closer to this building trying to catch her breath, it could spell disaster.
People kill and people die. This is what people at Moriarty's told her group when they first became settlers there. They learned about the people that shot at Butch. They are called Raiders. Between them and the wasteland, you kill them or die trying. These monsters don't like talking.

Shoot first; Loot after.

It should be their motto.
Celeste is keeping her guards up, making sure her breathing wasn't too loud and spastic. Raiders can sneak up on you, and the next thing you know you're just dead.
She switched out her laser pistol for a sniper rifle and hid behind some rocks as cover.

She scoped out the area and found 2 people in dark, patched outfits. They indeed had spikes.
This just made her mad as she thought of her love on the ground crying in pain from them.
It was at this moment she aimed for one of them, and held her breath to steady herself.
She slowly pulled the trigger as she exhaled.
