The old woman sat in her rocking chair, knitting a navy sweater. Two children sat around her, gazing intently and listening to what she was saying. "The land was desolate. Only dust and dirt remained of what used to be California. This is where the Fabulous Killjoys-"

"But Grandma, when does the action start? I wanna hear about the rayguns and shootouts!" the blonde- haired boy protested.

"James, you have to listen to the whole story! I have to start at the beginning in order for you to understand it." the grandmother admonished. James sighed and nodded.

"Now where was I? Oh. This is where the Fabulous Killjoys made history. When I was a little girl, people only dreamed of being one of them. My best friend and I were lucky enough to meet them. But before I get started on the killjoys, let's go back to the beginning, during the Helium Wars. . ."

California, 2012

The two nine-year-old girls sat on the swings as behind them buildings exploded and screams were heard. One was tall, with long blond hair. The other was smaller with curly black hair. They sat there looking at the apartments behind them. Inside their mothers dashed around gathering miscellaneous things. "I heard my dad saying that S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W was kidnapping people and turning them into Draculoids." the blonde said excitedly.

"Don't say that! What if it actually does happen? My big sister said that the killjoys would come and kill them all." the littler one defended. They stared at the chaos around them as the sky became thick with ashes. Loud booms resounded and it seemed as if the whole world was on fire.

"It could happen." her friend protested. "Anyways, we have to get back inside before our moms find out we left." Just then their names were called. The jumped off the swings and scampered inside.

Seven Years Later

The velvety sky was darkening considerably as the two sixteen-year-old girls made camp near an abandoned trailer park. The smaller one was huddled around the smoky fire while the taller and older one was rooting through a rusty green dumpster. Only the crackling of the red and blue flames was heard aside from the smaller girl's chattering.

"So the Drac was about ready to take me down when -she slapped her hands together- BAM! I jumped on top of him and knocked him out cold. Then I stole the bananas." The girl grinned.

"And then you lost them, didn't you Hurry?" her blue eyes sparkled playfully but Hurricane Bunny, or Hurry failed to see them.

"Oh, so it wasn't anything extremely badass what I did back there?!" Hurry asked sarcastically. "Jeez, Truthful. Straight to the heart."

"Nahh." Truthful Blasphemy grinned. Then she turned serious. "We could've used those bananas, you know. Now I gotta search for PowerPup cans. That stuff's nasty."

Hurricane Bunny shook her black fringe out of her eyes and 'hmmphed'. "Yeah, yeah, whatever." she lay down in her ratty sleeping bag and propped her elbows up.

"You were probably too busy staring at those wanted posters, weren't you?" she asked. Hurricane blushed and shrugged. "None of them really suit me, but it seems as if you have your eye on the midget!" Truth snickered. She climbed out of the dumpster and walked over to Hurry, putting her long blonde hair in a ponytail. She stood and surveyed the surrounding area.

"His name is Fun Ghoul." Hurry grumbled but shot Truthful a rueful smile. "Are you sure this place is safe? I don't want it to end up like last time, when we found a bunch of drunk Draculoids asleep on us. Literally. On us."

"Oh yes, because I asked the real estate lady and she said this place was perfectly safe, a great place to raise children." Truthful Blasphemy snorted. Hurry rolled her eyes. "I don't really know. We'll be fine, we just need to get some sleep."

Hurricane Bunny yawned and nodded. She lay back down in her sleeping bag while Truth put out the fire and lay down as well. The stars glimmered and a coyote howled in the distance. Wind lazily blew dust around the sleeping girls while two men clad in white tiptoed up to their camp site.

The next morning. . .

"Oh yes, Ghoulie. Of course you can feed me strawberries," Hurry mumbled in her sleep. Suddenly she was jolted and woke up, in complete darkness. She sat up and hit her head on something above her. "OWW!" Truthful Blasphemy was awakened by her friend's moaning and sat up too, also hitting her head.

"Ouch!" Truthful rubbed her sore head. "Where the heck are we?"

"In a car, I think. Quite a plushy place here." They were quiet for a moment before voices could be heard in front of them.

"Whadda we do again, 2738?"

"I told you-whack- ten -smack- times, you -slap- moron! We leave the killjoys out there as bait! Then our little Party Poison and his gang will come and we can capture them."

"Ohhhhhh."

Truthful groaned but Hurry was bouncing up in her spot on the floor. "Why are you so happy about this?!" Truth hissed. Hurricane grinned.

"We get to meet the famed, Fabulous Killjoys!"

"Yeah, and then guess what? We die." Truth spat. "I can't believe we slept through all that. I'm a light sleeper. The one time when I don't wake up we get joy-napped." Suddenly the car they were stuck in screeched to a halt. Both girls flew to the back of the trunk with a bang.

The trunk was opened and there stood two very tall Draculoids. They're masks shone in the sunlight and the fake black hair attached to them waved around in the wind. The girls were roughly grabbed and thrown onto the dirt. Truthful moaned and pain and Hurry shot the Dracs a look of pure rage.

The taller of the two Dracs pulled duct tape from behind his back and slapped it onto Truth and Hurry's mouths. Then he and his partner tied their hands behind their backs as they made muffled screams. They tried to kick the Draculoids but one of them slapped Hurry across the face. They both shut up.

"Now where where we?" one mused. "Oh, yes. 16734, grab the blonde one and we'll carry them to that sign over there. His comrade nodded and the girls were dragged to the ROUTE GUANO sign and tied to it.

"There we go. Now we hide!" The Dracs walked off and hid behind some brush.
