Isaac was on his knees tending to a garden behind his shack. Bernard walks to the garden*
Bernard: Has this garden… always been here?
Isaac: yes.
The garden had different types of Wasteland plants in different rows or sections, Broc Flowers, Xander Roots, Banana Yucca Plants, Mutfruit, Agave, Prickly Pear, Buffalo Gourd and Barrel Cactus*
Bernard: Well you have quite the green thumb. How'd do this anyways?
Isaac: my mom was an avid gardener, she taught me a few tricks, and with a book about Botany. Also research about cross breeding plants. Plus I talked to Terry and Tricia and they told me about some planting techniques specifically for the Buffalo Gourd-
Isaac was interrupted by a pile of dirt popping out of the ground in front of him*
Bernard: what kinda plant is that?
Isaac: um that's not a-
A mole rat pops out of the dirt pile and rushes around the garden eating some of the plants*
Isaac: Nikola's Ghost!! A Mole Rat!!
Bernard: damn vermin.
more Mole Rats start popping out of the ground and running around to eat plants*
Isaac: My garden!!!
Bernard sighs and pulls out his revolver*
Bernard: Vermin Control here!
Bernard starts firing but misses all the Mole Rats*
Bernard: hmmm well good luck Isaac.
Bernard turns to leave*
Isaac: Wait a second! You can't just leave!
Bernard: I missed every one of my shots, that's gotta be a sign. Bye!
Bernard leaves*
Isaac: Nikola's ghost….
At this time Ruff comes around the shack to see the chaos happening*
Isaac: Ruff! You need to help me! These Mole Rats are ruining my garden!
Ruff thinks for a moment then runs back into the house and comes back with her Super Sledge*
Isaac: Wait a second!
Ruff swings at a Mole Rat and misses it, creating a small crater. She runs after another and swings, missing and creating another crater*
Isaac: Ruff! Wait!
Ruff keeps swinging and creating craters, eventually she tires out. She breathes heavily and throws the Super Sledge on the ground and walks away*
Isaac: Oh man…
Isaac slumps, looking at the ground*
Man: Maybe I can help.
Isaac looks up to see a blonde man wearing a farmer clothing, a rawhide hat and shades*
Isaac: Who are you?
Al: name's Al, I'm a farmer of sorts and was traveling along. I saw the ruckus and thought I'd come by and see what it was about.
Isaac: Well I'm dealing with an infestation.
Al: I see I know a way or two I just need a cup.
A few minutes later, Al had combined Jet and Psycho in a cup*
Isaac: So this makes a repellent for Mole Rats?
Al: yep I remember reading it in a book, though I am using a less potent version of it. Don't want to kill the little critters.
Isaac: How are we going to use this?
Al: simple!
Al pulls out two paint guns, fills them with the repellent and hands one to Isaac*
Al: shall we?
Al and Issac chase and spray at the Mole Rats, the Mole Rats scurry away from the farm*
Isaac: Wow, that worked excellently! Thank you I don't have much to repay you but you could stay for dinner!
Al: I am a little famished so sure I'll stay!
In Isaac's shack, Isaac went to the kitchen*
Isaac: I'm gonna start making dinner! Make yourself at home!
Al: I sure will.
Al sat in the couch and thought for a second*
Al: all according to plan…
The door opens to Ruff, she walks in but stops when seeing Al. Al looks at her mesmerized. Ruff, who went to get her Super Sledge, raises it. Isaac calls from the kitchen*
Isaac: Ruff! If that's you don't attack our guest! Introduce yourself the best you can anyways!
Ruff slings her Super Sledge behind and walks up to Al, who is still stunned. She offers her hand to shake but he doesn't, still transfixed. Ruff waves her hand around his face and snaps finally breaking him from his trance*
Al: oh excuse me sorry I have a problem with zoning out. It's lovely to meet you, Ruff was it? I'm Al.
Al takes Ruff's hand and kisses the back of it, Ruff is slightly discomforted from this. At this time Bernard walks into the shack*
Bernard: woo… hot out who's this?
Al stands and offers his hand*
Al: Al, nice to meet you.
Bernard shakes his hand*
Bernard: uh you too…
Isaac: Bernard! You're just in time! Dinner is ready!
They go on to have a lovely, of a little awkward dinner*
-Later, at the Undisclosed Legion Camp-
Al walks into the tent and takes off his hat, he was actually Albus*
Albus: fascinating…
He places his hat on a table and sits down, another man with short black hair walks into the tent*
Black Haired Man: There you are! Where have you been?
Albus: ah Octavius hello.
Octavius: explain yourself now.
Albus: I was scouting a possible slave requisition place.
Octavius: really? Where is it?
Albus: don't worry about it right now, I'll need more information before we move on it.
Octavius: fine then, have our agents found the ones responsible for stopping our latest requisition?
Albus: no but don't worry, they will soon.
-End… for now-
Why do you carry the weapons you currently have?
Bernard: This revolver belonged to my dad, my dad's dad, my dad's dad's dad, my dad's dad's dad's dad, my dad's dad's dad's dad's mom…
Continues onto to ramble about the revolver*
Ruff points at the Super Sledge and mimics fixing it then holds up a picture of Isaac and smiles pointing at it*
Isaac: this Plasma Rifle belonged to my dad, it's custom built.
