What a day.... Me and Scarlet had the day off while Justin did what Justin does best... Hes still hanging at the bars, trying to get lucky. Me and Scarlet just spent the day hanging around, wandering around this place. It was nice.... The first peaceful day me and her shared with just the two of us.... It was the first time I didnt let thoughts about losing someone special to me fill my head with anxiety. I didnt feel fear, I didnt feel loss, I felt.... Warm.... I wish everyday could be like this, but we have a job tomorrow, and apparently Justin found us a new recruit that wants to do guard work (some eager to please girl that says she loves his stories from what Justin said when he saw us in one of the halls sometime today). I guess itll be nice having another face around to keep Justin busy. As long as I got Scarlet, Im happy. Where to even begin on the bigger stuff that happened today.... We went to the marketplace and bought normal things... No guns or ammo or medical supplies or even booze to get drunk.... We bought... Food, and these things called foam noodles from some junk trader. I swear we were acting like such kids, munching on stuff here and there, smacking each other with these giant blue and green objects that looked like a weird arm things. It was funny.... It was... Fun. For once I cut loose, and Im guessing she did to, and we had fun.... Im gonna miss that once were on the road again tomorrow. Oh thats a thing, we got a job for 1,000 caps to take supplies to a pretty big survivor community somewhere way out in the outskirts, nearly outside the DC area. Its suppose to be a huge point of trade. 12 guards for this trip. But enough of that, something else that happened today.... Me and Scarlet sat down on a bench after giving those noodle things to some kids that were very interested. We watched them just run around and play just like we did, laughing and commenting how nice it is to see kids shielded from the world outside..... It was like we were actually a couple, but I might be overthinking it.... Itd be nice, but I dont know....... Tomorrow we set out on a dangerous trip... So in case I dont make It then I just want whoever is listening to this know.... I at least held her hand.... And she let me, right there on that old rusty bench. I placed my hand on hers and she flipped it over gently to squeeze mine.... I... Haha, god I must sound pathetic like that.... Tomorrow were sure to meet action, but who knows... I hope everyone makes it, I really do... I cant imagine losing Gizmos stoic attitude and fun radio, or Justins entertaining stories he never seems to run out of.... And this new girl we got coming, Ill be sure to record who she is and what she looks like... I also... I cant imagine losing Scarlet.... And I wont ever. Now tonight Im staying with Scarlet... We bought a comic book from one of the vendors and Im going to be reading it to us since.... Well I found out Scarlet cant read actually. I guess I like the idea of being able to help her a bit with something like that, its nothing special, but at least we get to spend more time together. Im not going to try anything more than maybe sitting next to her on the floor whenever she knocks out.... I want her to keep thinking of me as a nice person, not some ass that treated her right just to do.... Those kinds of things..... She actually went out to get some snacks and.... Well speak of the devil, I hear her coming now. I gotta go, so until next time, this is Dust, signing off. ~Dust
