Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back

Plan A

Cheering erupted throughout the group and Zacky patted me on the back. “DRINKS ALL ROUND!” he proclaimed, grinning. 

“This calls for a party,” Methane smiled and sat down on the stool that I had been sitting on previously. “We’ll need some more booze, some good music and some more Killjoys. We should invite Shadows and the Rev over! Some Papa Roach, we’ll need some Papa Roach.” Referring to one of her favorite bands from when she was a teenager, “And Avenged Sevenfold! Dr. Death needs to play more of them on his radio show…I mean-”

Fun Ghoul cut her off by hugging her and whispering , ’you’re rambling’, into her hair. She blushed and wriggled out of his arms. 

Raindrop walked over to the wall furthest from the door, where there were multiple pictures and sheets of paper. Ripping one off the wall, she down at the table, opposite Methane. “First, we’re going to need to bust Shadows out of jail,” She drew an ‘X’ in the top left corner of the page and wrote ‘jail’ above it. “then….”

Two days later, we were sitting in the front room of the house, about to execute our plan that we’d come up with. I seemed to fit in with these people really well, they were just like me only no one could play guitar as well as me, of course. I chucked to myself.

“THAT’S HOW YOU CHUCKLE DARKLY!”

“SHUT UP, SKYE!”

Deathly and Inked seemed to be helping me out a lot, seeing as I had no idea how anything worked or what to do. Party Poison and Jet-Star had joined us, as well as Jimmy. However, I was supposed to call Jimmy ’The Rev’, which I simply couldn’t, I was too used to calling him ’Jimmy’. We were about 20 minutes from heading out in our separate groups. 

The groups consisted of:

Group 1: Party Poison, Inked Chain, The Rev and Vibrating Raindrop.

Group 2:  Jet-Star, Deathly Happy, Ominous Vortex and me. 

Group 3: Kobra Kid, Dissonant Skye, Fun Ghoul, Methane Moonlight and Zacky Vengeance.

Raindrop and Poison came up with the groups,  Dissonant was originally going to be in my group, because everyone thought it would be funny to leave Methane with Ghoul, without her best friend to distract her - because we all knew about her slight crush on him, but they both refused to be separated. So the groups needed re…uh…regrouped. 

Group 1 was going to break into the BL/I offlicence, because apparently it’s more fun than getting alcohol in the Killjoy-run offlicence. Group 2 were going to get Dr. Death and Show Pony for backup, also to invite them to the party, and to borrow some music. And finally, Group 3 had the hardest job - they were going to break M. Shadows out of jail, at BL/I headquarters. 

“So, shall we be off?” Poison stood up.

“Yes,” Methane said, “But first…” she disappeared into another room. A few minutes later she returned, having discarded her leather jacket, she was now wearing a black, denim-type trench coat. It was covered in silver buckles and black straps “I WALK A LONELY ROAD,” she began singing.

“THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN,” Dissonant and Deathly sang with her.

“I want a cool jacket too!” Dissonant sulked and walked out of the room, she then returned wearing a red and black tartan, fitted jacket. “How do I look?” she winked at Kobra who immediately stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“You look gorgeous sweetie,” he squeezed her slightly and grinned. 

“Can’t….breathe…Kobra…stop it.” She said in between gasps.
