Chapter 4: Laser Pain (in my butt)
Leather Deathwish's POV
I pulled out my bright red laser gun out of its holster, cradling it in my right hand, and thought the time of when N3ON showed me how to use it properly. I could remember it like it was just yesterday. I could almost feel the pain of her swatting me on the back of the head from doing something wrong, and hear her saying 'You moron! That's still wrong!'. But that day of nothing but practicing with N3ON paid off in the end. ''Leather? You okay bud?'' I looked up. It was Truthful. I slipped my gun back into place in its holster.
''Um..yeah.'' I lied. She lifted her left eyebrow and sat down next to me on the couch.
''No you're not.'' I looked at her. She was really pretty girl, blond hair with purple bangs, pale skin and mirror-like blue eyes so full of love. I nodded. ''Is it N3ON?'' she asked. I nodded again. ''Me too.'' she leaned back staring at the ceiling. ''I can't shake the feeling that something bad is happening.'' I gulped.
''Yeah...'' I whispered. '
"Only 3 hours till' sunset.'' she noted. I nodded. A long pause grew, but after awhile she spoke. ''Ya' know..''
''Hmm...'' I replied.
''I remember the time when N3ON was fixing her truck and Party showed up...you remember that?'' her perky face reminded me all to much of N3ON when she was happy, but I did remember that day, that was the day I was gonna ask her to be my girlfriend but, Party Poison showed up and he asked her if she wanted to take a ride in the Trans am.
Later she told me all about it, and how she got to drive it and everything. She told me how she thought he was awesome, hot, cool, and artsy...and all that jazz. She loved Party Poison. I've hated him since, but I tolerate him for N3ON. ''It was so funny! She was in booty shorts and a tank!-'' Truthful started to tell the story between giggles. I listened cause it was a funny story and I needed I to try to laugh. ''And he walked up...behind her, and poked her sides...and she got scared banged her head on the hood, and kicked him in the stomach at the same time!'' she was laughing uncontrollable at the memory, because she saw it first hand. ''But later she went with Party in the Trans Am so guess it makes up for it.'' I said shrugging. The rest of the teenage Killjoys and I had to listen to Truthful, Jet Star, Fun Ghoul, and even Kobra Kid laugh/tell the funny story while Party and N3ON rubbed their wounds and blushed. Truthful stopped laughing when she saw that I wasn't. ''What's one of your favorite memories?'' she asked wiping 'happy tears' out of her eyes with the back of her index finger. I thought for a moment.
''I don't know.'' I said flatly. Her jaw dropped a little. ''You...Don't...Know?'' she repeated. I shrugged.
''Too many..'' I smiled. She giggled and playfully punched my shoulder.
''But seriously what's a favorite?'' she asked.
''The time she showed me how to hot wire a car.'' I chuckled.
''Um...is there a funny story to it?'' she asked smiling.
''Yeah, she let me use her truck and I banged my head on the dash when it started and she laughed so hard she fell on the ground into a puddle of oil.'' Truthful busted out laughing.
''Sounds like something she would do!'' I laughed
''Yeah but later I had to help her check her hair to make sure all of it was out...that sucked.''
