Sedative sat in an alleyway, constantly peering around the corner to see if the enemy was approaching. Ghoul sat behind her, they were in this together. She turned to him and kissed him passionately, their final goodbye in case something serious happened. She peeked around the corner and watched as Korse strolled right out in eye's view, as if he were an innocent man. Fuck Him. She bounded around the corner, pulled the trigger and sent a laser beam in between the eyes of the man who had caused all of her problems, and it felt so… liberating.
Except for the fact that it didn't happen.
I burst awake from what seemed like the realest dream I'd had in a while, I'd been letting my thoughts turn into revenge too many times.
I don't care what Ghoul and Party say, I am going to be on that frontline, they're just being overprotective and when I'm serious about something, they know not to mess with me. I looked to my left, No Ghoul, he was probably already up. I got up and walked out of my bedroom to see all my fellow killjoys huddled around the table, plotting battle strategies.
I walked over and pulled up a seat next to Ghoul and mumbled, so only he could hear me, "What? You couldn't have bothered to wake me up?"
He looked over and said, "Sed, you had a really rough night last night, we wanted to let you sleep. You're lucky you ended up on a bed, I carried you in there when you fell asleep on the couch, in my arms."
That made me smile and I said, "I love how you had to add, in my arms, somebody's pleased with themselves."
He smiled and winked at me. We settled back into the conversation, going on around us. "And, Corrupt this is where me and you are stationed when the battle begins," Party said.
"Awesome." said Corrupt.
We strategized until our minds couldn't take any more information and split off to do what needed to be done that day. For Ghoul, that was fix up the Trans-Am and motorcycles in case of the need of a quick getaway, I'd be helping him with the motorcycles later, For Party that meant mapping out the battlefield and plans many, many times, and for Kobra and Jet that meant going out and about looking for more ray guns and food, and as for Corrupt and me, we gathered around Contro to listen to the news she needed to tell us right away.
"What is it?" Corrupt asked.
"One moment, Corrupt!," Contro screamed, "First off, you guys for real need to dish to me the relationship with your men," She waited until we motioned to go on and said, "And second, I peed on a stick and it told me I'm pregnant. SURPRISE! Finally there are babies for Contro, yay!"
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Corrupt and I chorused.
"But that means you, and him, and babies and AHH!" Corrupt said.
"Nice summarizing, Corrupt." I joked, "Babies for Contro? Nieces for Sedative! Yay! And excuse me missy, we're not the ones who need to tell you more, you friggin fucked Kobra!"
"SHUT UP! YOU'RE SO LOUD SEDATIVE!"
"Yeah. I'm loud."
"Ehhh," Contro exclaimed, "But according to the stick, I've been pregnant for a while. That's the reason you see this friggin thing." She patted her baby bump.
"we just thought you were getting fat," Corrupt joked and I laughed until I saw the look on Contro's face that said If you don't fucking stop it right now I swear I will fucking kill you, motherfucker, probably baby mood swings.
"Well… your turn. What's the scoop on you and Party, Corrupt? Or you and Ghoul, Sedative?"
My cheeks turned bright red and I said, "Well let me just say we haven't been making babies or anything like some blue-haired peopled that we know," Contro smiled and pointed to herself, "We've both agreed no babies are to be made until there's a ring on each of our fingers and that's what I'm waiting for."
"Holy fruit!," Contro exclaimed, "Maybe I'll see some Ghoul and Sedative babies soon as well! Yay, my baby will have friends! And you, Miss Corrupt?"
"I swear. We've kissed and that's all. I'm seriously waiting for him to make a fucking move." She said.
"He's probably stressed, Corrupt, when this whole thing is over your relationship will probably be blossoming like spring," Contro comforted, winking.
"I dunno, but nice to know I'll be an aunt soon, I have to go… write a letter." Corrupt said and walked away.
"I gotta go too, Ghoul needs help with the motorcycles," I said.
"Ok, but just don't tell anyone, especially not Kobra, He's got enough stress." Contro insisted.
I nodded and walked into the garage, we worked on the vehicle until their engines purred and their wheels shined in the sunlight and Ghoul and I sat on the trans-am and just talked. We talked about our worries, our hopes, our pasts, but Ghoul didn't seem to want to talk about what would happen in the future, out of everyone he seemed the most worried about the whole thing. Fun Ghoul didn't need anything else taken from his heart, and if we lost any person at all, he'd beat himself up over it, I know for sure. There was one question I had though, "What would happen if I died in this battle?"
Kobra and Jet came back with a lot more than guns and food, they came with two vans full of killjoys, all of them had heard Dr. Death's message and were ready to fight and said that more were on the way. We couldn't have been happier.
Party, Corrupt, and Contro came out of the house, beaming and they all went around and introduced themselves. There was Extravagant Diversion, Urbane Annihilation, Beautiful Betrayal, Adreneline Danger Heart, Victory X, Sensational Vibe, Bull Rush, Dune Runner, Spontaneous Darkness, Scattered Bullet, and Crushed Dreams, and they said there were many more on the way.
Party told in detail about the date they were expected, the battle strategies, weapons, and the training course (laser tag) we had that they all needed to complete in order for us to see where to place them. We would start training tomorrow, but for now we all gathered around the fire and traded stories about life in the desert, except for Extravagant Diversion, she had come from Battery City itself. Epically, living a double life as a BLI employee and after hearing about this battle from co-workers and Dr. Death she knew what she had to do.
We sat there for hours just talking and having a great time, every killjoy displayed the sweetest and kindest personalities, clearly the best people the world had to offer. When we all got tired, Contro, Jet, Kobra, Corrupt, Ghoul, Party, and I headed inside to our beds, the others slept in make-shift beds in the kitchen and living room, except for some who decided that they wanted to sleep outside because it was what they were used to.
As the night came to an end and my head hit the pillow, my final thoughts were Maybe we would win this battle after all.
Author's Note: Thank you for all of those who gave me killjoy names to put into my story! It was greatly appreciated! Just be warned that some of you will die. D: That's what happens in a battle! But i'm going to write something else soon, i don't quite know what yet but you will have input on the plot! ^.^ Hope you enjoyed!
