Fallout 3: The Perk Chronicles

Written By: Self-Proclaimed KingofDDR

Thanks, everyone! I was very pleased about the number of reviews that I got for the first chapter. So, I decided to continue this fic. I'll go with undeadyeti's advice, and focus on the Gun Nut Perk this chapter. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 2

A Meeting of the Gun Nut Minds

"Ha Ha Ha Ha! Man, would you look at this spread!" Nita laughed as she unlocked the case on top of the dead Brahmin. She quickly pulled out an Assault Rifle. "Sweet! An AK-47! And it's in great shape!"

"Hmmm...are you sure about that, kid? By the way, it's an R91, not an AK-47. " Sydney said.

Nita turned back towards Sydney, eyebrow raised. "What do you mean? Take a look. The wood has hardly been scratched, the steel is smooth, and there is nothing wrong with the trigger. All it needs is a few .30 caliber rounds, and this baby'll be killing in no time! Plus, it is SO an AK-47," she insisted.

"The AK-47 hasn't been around since the bombs fell. And this gun needs some 5.56mm ammo before it can kill anything," Sydney replied.

"What makes you so sure that it's an R91? For all you know, this could be one of those rare AK-47's I've read so much about!" Nita replied, eyes narrowed.

Jericho, Clover and Dogmeat turned their heads towards Sydney, waiting for her response.

"For one thing, the barrel on this gun isn't as long as one on an AK-47. Plus, it's missing that little circle thing on top of the barrel," Sydney said.

The three turned their heads toward Nita, eager to see her response.

"That means that it could have been modified somewhat. So the little circle thing is missing, big deal!" Nita said.

Turn.

"The color of the wood is lighter than that of an AK-47," Sydney said.

Turn.

"Custom Paint Job."

Turn.

"It's slightly heavier than an AK-47."

Turn.

"Modified Bulk for more durability."

Turn.

"But wouldn't that just make the gun harder to use in a gunfight?"

Turn.

"...Ummm...t-the same could be said...about the Fat Man..."

Turn.

"But the Fat Man is a Big Gun. Not a rifle. So it doesn't even count."

Turn.

"...Well..."

"Besides, the only thing that should count as a gun are weapons that fire bullets. Not Mini-Nukes capable of wiping out a small town."

"That may be, but..."

"You don't even know what you're talking about. Do you."

"...Of course I do! And I know for a FACT that this gun is an AK-47!"

"...Despite the fact that there, in big red painting on the side of the gun, says R91?"

Nita blinked. She turned the gun to its side, and saw R91 written on it.

"...Yeah, well...You Suck! ...Dicks!" Nita came back lamely.

"And proud of it, kid," Sydney said with a smirk. "And it's obvious that you're only on the first level of the Gun Nut perk. And that you lack common sense."

"...I hate you." Nita sighed, ignoring the snickers coming from Clover, and the outright bellows coming from Jericho.

Done! Probably not near as funny as the last chapter, but I'm not really a Gun Nut myself. Anyway, I think the next perk I'll do will be the Bloody Mess one. Look forward to that!

Catch you next continue!
