"Happy new years you miserable bastards!! Cheers!! Ahahahhh!"
Soldiers drank and sang at Fort Vepo,celebrating the new year
"Glorious motherfucking day people!" A soldier shouted out
the Lieutenant and the Major looked at the forests outside of their fortified walls as the soldiers were celebrating
"Major..we've hit the 1,000 mark..we have a battalion of soldiers at the ready from our radio broadcast and allied settlement tributes..i think we can begin creating outposts to strengthen our supply line..and expand."
"It's not a bad idea Lieutenant..not a bad idea at all..but..maybe we aren't a Federal Relief force anymore..maybe we're something more..maybe it's time to change."
"What do you mean Major?"
"Hope..we've given hope to our small part of California..9 Allied settlements,1,000 soldiers 15 highway checkpoints..patrols..watchtowers in settlements,vehicles being cleared out of the roads for scrap or repairing..the world's starting to heal..maybe we should start anew..no more FDEU."
"A name change?.."
"Exactly."
"I think..it's a good idea Major..what will you call it?"
A firework shot up from the nearby settlement of Red Rivers
"The New Californian Commonwealth..it's small and we only have..how many? You're the numbers person"
"3,200 People..1,000 of which are soldiers of our little army."
"Yeah..i think it suits us just well."
Both stood up
"Major Graves..you're a great man."
"And you're a great woman,Lieutenant Rivera."
They both shook hands as they smiled at eachother,another firework illuminating their faces
"Well? I can see it in your eyes Sir..gonna do it or what?"
Graves picked her on up as they brought eachother in for a kiss
"That was a nice reminder that the world hasn't totally gone to shit Major Graves.."
"It was Lt..it was..let the soldiers have their fun today,we'll start having ours."
They continued kissing atop the wall as more fireworks shot up from the different allied settlements
Soldiers grilling fish and steak,drinking beer and playing with their guard dogs looked at the fireworks as they all cheered.
"FUCKING AYE BUBBA!!" A soldier screamed out as they continued cheering for the fireworks to continue
The Captain sat on a chair at a checkpoint just a mile off from Fort Vepo
"It's a beautiful sight we haven't seen in a while" he drank from his flask as he wiped his mouth with a smile
"And thats some good stuff..you Captain Hayes are destined for the brewery."
One of his soldiers walked up to him and sat beside him
"It's a nice moment of tranquility for once."
"That it is trooper..that it is."
Hayes took another swig out of his flask and sighed,seeing one more firework shoot up in the air
