Sunny Flare wears a Pip-boy to school every day. It's a hint to what she loves, and with the announcement of a new Fallout game, she decides to put on a Vault Suit, and spend a day at the mall, living in the world she loves. Crushing Radroaches, pretending to loot trash bins, and even pointing a laser pistol at people, the classics. She even finds someone who had the same thought. Too bad he's part of the Brotherhood of Steel, or she might actually get to act on how cute he is.

Or, maybe that's just what she needed to make her world all the more real.
