• By a Campfire on the Trail: Sunny explains how to make items from campfires.
• Ghost Town Gunfight: She can help defeat the Powder Gangers and defend Goodsprings.

• If asked about any work to be done, she will mention to check out the safe in the schoolhouse, giving the Courier bobby pins and a copy of Locksmith's Reader in order to open it.
