Fallout Equestria: A New Hope (On Hiatus)

Chapter One

As I trotted over to my room, I checked my Pipbuck for the time. 3:00pm. I smiled. "Time for Cosmic's new song." I said to myself as I tuned my Pipbuck to the Stable's broadcast. "Hello ponies!" A scratchy male voice began. "Its time for a new song from everyponies favorite DJ, Cosmic Wave! I hope you will enjoy it. He put his blood sweat and tears into this new album. And he hopes you all will enjoy it too. Now I'm going to stop rambling. Everypony enjoy." He stopped talking, and a series of wubs began emitting from the device. I smiled and slightly bobbed my head to the beat. "This is fantastic!" I said to myself as I walked back to my room. Which was right next to Paint Pallet. Stable two's skilled artist. "I think I should become an art pony." I said softly looking back to my flank where my cutiemark resides. A pencil crossing a paintbrush. I then stopped, and opened the door to my room. I slightly lowered the volume, and sat on the bed. Still bobbing my head. When the song was over, I smiled. But was sad it had to end.

"That was his new song, Electric Eel." The announcer said. A smile in his voice. "How did everypony enj-" His voice was cut out by me turning off the broadcast. "He sure can come up with good names." I smiled as I sat there. I then heard my door open. It was Pallet. A beautiful unicorn mare with a light pink coat, purple eyes, with matching mane and tail, and a paint pallet for her cutiemark. Hence her name. "Hey, Pallet." I smiled. "Whats up?" I asked hopping off the bed, and trotting happily over to the door. "Nothing much. Whats up with you?" She replied. Her voice as smooth as a hot knife through butter. "Nothing much. Just listened to Cosmic's new song." I smiled. "What do you need?" She asked. "I need your help." She replied. I looked confused. She never came to me for help. "You do?" I asked. She nodded. "Mhm. Follow me." She replied turning around. I followed her, and together, we walked over to the Stables mess hall. Lots of ponies. Some just chilling while others were playing checkers or eating. I looked to the far back wall where there was an unfinished mural.

"Ooh. What is it?" I asked. I really couldn't tell what it was. But I had a feeling knowing her, it would look beautiful when it was done. She looked to me. "What the wastes used to be." She said. My ears perked up. Equestria before the war. "I'll go get something to drink." I said turning and looking to the Sparkle-Cola machine. "Alright." She smiled as she trotted to the mural. I trotted over the the machine, and realized my saddlebags were in my locker in my room. I turned around, and promptly walked to my room to get one. Because thats all the machine needs. One cap for a bottle of ice cold Sparkle-Cola. I opened the locker when I got back in the room, and took a bottle cap out. "Wait. I'll have to carry this cap around with me." I thought. I then decided to take my saddlebags with me. I swung them over my back, and checked my Pipbuck for any caps I might have inside. '100' it read. I smiled, and walked back to the mess hall, and back over to the soda machine while fished a cap out of my saddlebag.

When I got there, I put the cap in the slot, and got a bottle of ice cold Sparkle-Cola in return. I used the bottle opener on the side of the machine to open the bottle. The cap came off with a pop and that familiar fsss rang out from the bottle. I put the cap inside, and got yet another bottle. Using the bottle opener while I chugged mine. It tasted so good. When I was finished, I burped in my mouth. Not wanting Pallet to be grossed out by me. Though, she was probably already grossed out by some of the ponies here already. So she was probably used to it by now. I trotted with the opened bottle of Sparkle-Cola over to the back wall where Pallet was stationed, and the mural resides. "Thank you." She said as I handed her the bottle. "Your welcome." I replied with a smile. "Where's yours?" She asked. "I already drank mine." I smiled. "Oh. Hehe." She giggled. I then looked to the unfinished mural. "My plan is to have it cover the whole wall. And it is too big a project for me to finish alone." She explained.

"And that is why I called you for help. You are practically the only other artist. I saw your work by the way. Its almost as good as mine." She smiled levitating a paintbrush in her magic. I also picked one up with my magic. We both trotted up to the unfinished mural. Pallet did the planning and most of the painting while I did the little details. We had gotten about 1/4th of the way done when I checked my Pipbuck for the time again. '11:26pm' it read. I yawned. "You tire-" Pallet began. But was cut off mid sentence by a yawn. Even her yawns were adorable. I smiled. "Yeah. You ready to go to bed?" I asked setting the paintbrush down. Pallet did the same. We walked together to the rooms but parted ways to go to our separate rooms. When I opened the door, I walked in, and sat on the bed. I looked to the black locker in the room, and heard my stomach growl which made my ears perk up. I slid off the bed and walked over to the locker. Opening it, there were lots of red apples, and purified water.
