Fallout 4 One Shot

Piper lay, sprawled across the bed in her small diamond city shack.

"Y/N... why don't I have any articles to print? The next issue needs to be ready to print in two days and I have nothing."

Doodles of flowers and plants cluttered the front of the her otherwise blank notebook page.

"Well..." you rolled your thumbs around each other and gently swayed from side to side in an ancient desk chair "no new McDonough scandals?" Piper groaned and threw the notebook down to her side.

"There is a McDonough story in every issue, I've trawled through every file, every terminal in his office but for the first time since I moved here he has done nothing bad."

"What about that detective, the synth? He normally helps you out." You rolled your head back along the chair.

"Who, Valentine? He is too busy with that newcomer, something about a missing kid, but trying to get a word out of them is impossible."

"Piper."

"Yes?" She sat up, hunched over herself in defeat.

"Grab your hat, your coat, your gun and get over yourself."

"Why? I don't want to go out to eat, I'm not hungry." She sat on the bed with her head heavily sat in her hands.

"Were not going out to eat. You want a story? Were going out to find one." Piper slowly stood up and unenthusiastically put her hat on and threw her coat around her back.

"Seriously Piper, stop feeling sorry for yourself. There is a whole world of adventure out there and we aren't going to get a story from it sitting in here."

Piper sighed and sat back down.

"I've spent years in that wasteland Y/N... there are just no more stories at the moment for me."

"Really Piper, there are always more stories." You sat down beside her and put your arm around her shoulder.

"Is this really the message you want to share with Nat? Huh? This isn't you Piper."

She smiled and messed with the small 'PRESS' label on her hat.

"Your right... NAT!" She called out. "Were going out, don't know when we will be back. There's caps you know where for food. Be good and don't get thrown out."

She swung the front door open.

"What are you waiting for Y/N... let's go find ourselves a story!"
