It was pitch black out. I stood underneathe the canopy of a gas station,looking off into the distance. Party was filling a gas container and the others were inside getting food, first aid stuff, etc. They looked a little upset when Party told them to go get supplies. I guess they were worried they would miss something. I honestly didn't know why I was still with these people. I had no reason to trust them. Hell, I barely knew them! So why did I feel so safe with them? These thoughts raced through my mind as I stared up at the starry sky. "Beautiful, isn't it?" He asked, making me jump a little. "Uh, yeah." Still uncomfortable from earlier. "Sometimes I just stare up at them for hours on end. I always feel that if I could just stare at them long enough, they could give me the answers." he said,staring up at them.
"Why did you freak out earlier?" I said, before I realized it. He sighed. "I was wondering when you'd ask." he said,sitting down on the trunk of the car. He ran a hand through his cherry red hair. "Back before all of this happened, before BLI took over, I met this girl. I thought she was the greatest thing in the world. She was beautiful, funny, smart, amazing, the whole shabang. But it turns out that she wasn't as perfect as I thought. One night, I kissed her. Well, she wanted to move a lot faster than I did. She wanted to go all the way to third base from the start. I said no, and she got pissed. She told everyone that I tried to rape her. And whats worse is that they believed her. I almost went to prison because of that bitch. That's why I freaked out earlier." he finished. I was shocked. "Oh god...Im sorry." I said,looking at the ground.
"Its fine. That was the first time I had ever told anyone that." he said, breathing out heavily. "I feel better now." He looked at me and smiled. He was so gorgeous when he smiled. But I couldn't be thinking like that! I just met this man.. "So, I was thinking, we need to get you a Killjoy name." he said,bringing me out of my thoughts. "Okay. What have you got so far?" I asked,smiling. "How about, Heaven Help Us?" he asked, looking afraid of my dissaproval. "I love it!" I exploded. He laughed. "Good." We just sat there smiling at each other like two idiots. Suddenly, the doors of the gas station flew open and we jumped up,ready to kick some ass. Grace came out holding tons of bags of shit."Good God. I seriously don't think we need this much." she complained. Party chuckled. "Well, I just want to avoid going to any gas stations for a while. It usually brings out the Dracs." he said, ruffling her hair when she got to the car. "Really?" I asked,suddenly nervous. "Yeah,but I don't think there are any around right now." he said, reassuring me. I sighed. "Good."
The others came out, holding the same amount of bags as Grace did. Fun Ghoul dropped his bags into the trunk,huffing and puffing. "Are you okay?" I asked. "He's just so damn tiny that he can't carry anything." Kobra Kid said,smiling. Fun Ghoul just flipped him off and continued breathing heavily. We all laughed and got back into the car. Me on the passenger side,Party driving, and the others in the back. I smiled as the wind blew my hair back from my face. I closed my eyes,letting the wind lull me to sleep.
Hours later,somebody was shaking me. "What! What do you want?" I screamed,slapping away the hands that were shaking me. "Wake up, it's morning!" I opened my eyes,and Party was on top of me, which I found strange because we were in a car. I looked around and I was laying in a bed in what looked to be a motel room. What the hell? "Where are we?" I asked,Party still hovering over top of me. "We found a hotel as we were driving and decided we should stop and get some decent rest." "Uh huh, and how did I get in here?" "I carried you." he said,simply. "You were so cute,you actually snuggled into my chest when I picked you up." he said, a huge smile on his face. I blushed. "Get off of me!" I yelled pushing him off. He rolled onto the other side of me. "Don't pretend you didn't like waking up that way." he said, grinning, as he raised his eyebrows. "Oh shut up." I said,throwing a pillow at him. It hit him in the face,and I began to laugh hysterically. "Oh, so you wanna play that way,huh?" he asked,a mischevious grin spreading across his face. He climbed on top of me again and began tickling me. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. "Oh...my God...Stop it!" I squealed in between bursts of laughter. He was laughing just as hard as I was.
Just then we heards somebody clear their throat across the room. Party stopped and looked behind him. Kobra Kid was standing by the door,looking uncomfortable. Party climbed off of me and I sat up. I cleared my throat. "So, hey. What's up?" I asked,smiling nervously. They both burst out laughing. " I just wanted to see how you guys were doing." Kobra said, after he quit laughing. "We're fine." Party said,winking at me. I blushed for about the third time in two days. I never blushed! It must just be these guys that make me do it."Uh, good." Kobra said. "Im just gonna go check on the others." he said,looking suspiciously at us. As soon as the door shut behind him, Party jumped on me and started tickling me again. I loved this guy already.
