   Summary

   Butch hated birthday parties. He never got to celebrate one like this and now they were celebrating for this stupid Nosebleed’s tenth birthday and his mom made him show up! It was so dumb! It was like she wanted him to see how much less he mattered in comparison to stupid Tommy. At least Wally and Paul would be there. And at least he’d get some cake out of the stupid birthday.

   A story in which Butch and Tommy find common ground and find each other in Vault 101 and in the Wasteland.
