Surviving the first days

Walking alone on these paths wasn't interesting,that's for sure. Uhh... Wait. How come my Pip-Buck knows the names of the locations.

The current location i am on is... Shugarcube Corner. I trotted my way to there,with hope that no one spotted me. But before entering i stumbled across a vending machine.

SparkleCola.Celestia's bless! Finally! I found my favorite pre-war drink. And what's this? There was another vending machine.

It was orange and rusty vending machine, and it had a orange sun on it. Sunrise... Sarsaparilla. Sure can do.

I grabbed two bottles of SparkleCola and two Sunrise Sarsaparilla.

                                                                                                    ** * **

The place looked totally destroyed. Walls were covered with blood and some pony body parts as decorations. A pony head was hanging on that wall, had no mane and some sharp ornaments pierced into her eyes.

Pony's torso was ripped in parts and was hanging in a corner on a bloody chain. Disgusting! Gore was everywhere! I wanted to throw up so bad,but i had nothing in my stomach. I've tried to pretend that those stuff don't exist,but i couldn't. Just when i taught that i was on safe( or wasn't i), i heard raiders up on a floor.

Shoot. Should i attack? Should i  hide? Or should i just run away?? I have several ideas in my head, but i couldn't deside.

But i suddenly got an idea! I saw one of those mini apple-a-like bombs.

Mabey if i throw it up there,it could kill them and i can kill the rest that stays alive. Sounds legit.

I done just like i  planned and one of the raiders galloped to me put i pointed my shot gun on his head.

I was hesitating.

''  Come on!! Just kill me...already!  ''.

It was obvious that raider was ready to die, but i wasn't really ready to shoot. But it didn't took me too long to chang my mind.

In the same time i wanted to bang five bullets in his head, but in same time i felt that my magic could drop my weapon and that can give him a chance to kill me.

I just took a deep breath and without hesitation, i used S.A.T.S. to make it easier and banged two bullets in his head.

EWW! His head got smashed in tiny peaces and his blood was all over me. Disgusting!!

I searched him and his mates that died of that mini bomb and tried to find something useful. The only things i could find was stimpak,purified water, some ammo for my shot gun and some other chems and drugs. These raiders sure do like to be addicted to these drugs.

As i finished searching raiders, my eyes cought a sight of something interesting. It was a sub-machine gun with some interesting patterns. Three blue diamonds ( do you know who's cutie mark it is? ;) ).

Wow.

Beside him was ammo for it and some food.

''  Pre-war potato chips, pork n' beans, Brahmin cooked meat and two fresh apples. Good enough!  ''.

BEEP!

''  What?  ''.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEP!

''  Aaa! Poop  ''.

BOOM!

The explosive frag mine threw me on the ground. My front leg ankle is crippled. It hurts soo bad! I've remembered i picked up some stimpack few minutes ago, and i healed my self. So good to be fresh.

''  Are you okay?  ''.

A tiny voice asked me.

''  Yea..i just healed my self  ''.

Wait...she was here the whole time? Eheh... I can't be that blind though. I grabbed a bobby pin and a screwdriver and ran to her to free her.

''   Here..you are free..  ''.

''  For real.....  ''.

I noded.

''   I just can't thank you enough!  ''.

Just when she finished her words,she ran out. May Celestia have mersy upon her.

I walked down stairs to the kitchen. On the wall was a family photo.

On picture was a short mare,tall stallion,two baby ponies and another mare with curly mane and a big smile on her face.

I guess they were running this place before war.

After i left Shugarcube Corner, i had to find my self a shelter to sleep over night because its almost midnight.

And roaming around the most dangerous place at night isn't the smartest idea.

I was so exhausted. I could barely walk.

Right when i placed my hoof on a ground to make another step,i felt a bullet went through my hind leg. Everything seamed black.

                                                                                                          ** * **

My eyes were slowly opening.

''  Where am i..  ''.

''  Oh good! You are awake  '',

said a pony with incredibly sweet voice,

''   You've been sleeping for very long time  ''.

I slowly sitted on my butt while taking my canteen.

''  Who are you?  '',

i asked before taking a sip from my trusty Stable 24 canteen.

''  I'm Medical Chain  ''.

''  Nice name.. I'm Sparkle Bloom  ''.

Then i have realized that my Pip-Buck isn't on my ankle.

''  Where is my Pip-Buck!? !  '',

i asked while looking around the place.

''  Don't worry! It's over there. I had to take it off because your ankle needed some fresh air  ''.

I dropped my head back on the pillow with a sight.

''  So..are you a wanderer or..  ''.

''   Yes...and i'm going after one pony  ''.

I stood up and putted on my Stable 24 jumpsuit and Pip-Buck.

''  Thanks for everything  ''.

''   Where are you going?  ''.

''   I'm continuing my journey  ''.

''  Can i come?  ''.

''  Sorry..Mabey later..i'll need some help later...Don't worry..i'll comeback if i need it..  ''.

She just sighted. I felt sorry now. I didn't ment to reject her like that but i dont want to put anyone in danger because of me.

I took my stuff too and jumped out.

''  Let's check if everything is here...Stimpack,food,SparkleCola,Sunrise Sarsaparilla,Sub-machine,shot gun,ammo, buffout,Mint-Als and...Rad away. What's that?  ''.

There was a little note sticked on it:

''  If you ever get radiated, you'll need this. Oh and i putted some bottle caps in your saddle bags  ''.
