Young Hearts

Young Hearts is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.
==Quick walkthrough==
==Detailed walkthrough==
As part of completing the quest chain Volare! for the Boomers at the Nellis Air Force Base, Jack can be spoken to in the Nellis hangars. If asked about helping the Boomers, Jack will mention needing additional scrap metal (the unmarked quest Iron and Stealing), as well as a "personal matter" which he quickly tries to hide. With 35 Speech or the Confirmed Bachelor or Black Widow perk, one can get Jack to reveal that he is in love with a girl named Janet, a Crimson Caravan employee he has never actually met and only seen through binoculars from afar. He requests that the player character use their ability to freely leave the base to go and ask her about him, to see if she might have similar feelings for him.
Heading to the Crimson Caravan Company compound east of the gates to Freeside, Janet is typically found in the brahmin pen on the south side. Speaking to her reveals that she has also seen Jack from afar and that she is also interested in him. With the Black Widow perk, there is an option to make her jealous and want to rush over, while with the Lady Killer perk, she will admit that she's dying to meet Jack. The Courier can offer to ask Pearl for permission for her to enter the base and meet Jack.
To successfully gain Pearl's permission, a successful Speech check of 50 is required that garners Janet "a free pass to enter." If failing the check, the Courier has to complete Ant Misbehavin' for Raquel in order to be able to convince Pearl to allow it.
Next, return to Jack at the hangar, and he'll hand over Janet's Boomer outfit, and ask to have it delivered to her. Returning to Crimson Caravan and giving Janet the Boomer outfit, she will then ask for the Courier to speak with her boss, Alice McLafferty, about releasing Janet from her work contract. Inside the main office, Alice agrees for Janet to leave, but says doing so while under contract means she forfeits her wages as a penalty; 65 Barter or Speech 75 allows for Alice to be convinced to let Janet keep the money while also letting her out of her contract.
Return to Janet to give her the good news (she'll be slightly disappointed if her wages are withheld) and she will immediately leave for Nellis, in which Jack will need to be spoken to again to conclude the quest and receive a reward of 300 XP and Boomers fame.

==Notes==
* If the Courier previously killed Alice McLafferty during Heartache by the Number, Janet will remark on her former employer being deceased, thus negating her contract with the company.
* Janet can be lied to with a successful 55 Speech check, telling her that she is expected at the base and that it's safe to go to Jack before arranging for her to do so safely. Doing so will fail the quest, earning negative Karma and resulting in Janet's death as she attempts to approach Nellis. Failing the check results in her knowing that she is being lied to, asking if the Courier is trying to get her killed, and will also fail the quest.
** If Janet was killed by the bombardment, Jack can always be found sleeping at the Nellis workshop afterward. When talked to, he will be furious and ask why the Courier did not stop her. After being lied to with a 35 Speech check that she risked everything for him, he will "curse the walls of Nellis" and go back to sleep. If the check was failed, or the Courier tells him it's not their fault she died, Jack will refuse to talk to the Courier afterwards.
