It was a normal Sunday afternoon, and Pete Wentz was doing what he did best -- killing time by looking at memes and YouTube.  Suddenly, he spotted a recommended video off to the side: My Chemical Romance - Na Na Na (Official Music Video)

Well, why not watch it? It is Mikey Way, looking as hot as ever, Pete thought flirtatiously.  He clicked on the video and began watching it for the 300th time.

As Pete admired his friends -- and his ex -- bravely taking on Dracs and having fun, he suddenly came up with an idea.  "Why don't we recreate Na Na Na? With everyone?" he said out loud.  The more he thought about it, the more the bassist decided to tell the others of his plan.

With that, Pete pulled out his phone and texted his favorite person...well, one of his favorite people.  I'll leave you to guess who.

A. Gerard Way

B. Patrick Stump

C. Mikey Way

D. Bob Bryar

I'm just telling ya, it's not Bob for sure...

Okay, its...










Patrick.

"Hey Stumpy!" Pete greeted.  "Pete... don't call me Stumpy," Patrick replied.  "Sure, Pattycakes," Pete teased.  "Say, I was just watching the Na Na Na music video--"

"Of course you are.  It's Mikey Smoking Way," Patrick replied. 

"Is that your way of saying Mikey Fu--"

"YES.  It is," Patrick interrupted Pete.  "Anyways, what do you want?"

"I want Patrick to shove-- I mean!" Pete broke off, embarrassed.  "I want to have a gunfight will the whole Quartet."

"That... sounds dangerous.  And costly," Patrick said.  "What KIND of gunfight?"

"LASERS!" Pete said excitedly. "NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA--"

"Pete! Focus!" Patrick shouted.  "We're not doing lasers!"

"BULLETS! I BROUGHT YOU MY BULLETS, YOU BROUGHT--"

"NO!"

"THEN PAINTBALLS!"

"NO-- oh, wait, that could work..." Patrick said thoughtfully. 

"And we can buy Killjoy-style outfits!" Pete added.

"What?" Patrick gasped. 

"Pleeease with a cherry on top?" Pete wheedled.

"Alright.  We have money."

"You complain that we can't buy guns, but we can buy costumes?"

"Guns are dangerous.  Outfits aren't.  I know a good shop nearby.  I'll send you the address.  Meet me there."

"One more thing!" Pete said.  "We need Killjoy names!"

"Why not just use our Folie A Deux era names?" Patrick suggested.  "I'll be Mr. Benzadrine." 

"Then I'll be Sandman!"

Pete and Patrick met up at the costume shop.  "I'm gonna call Gerard for recommendations," Pete said.  He once again pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
