And by everything I meant everything. Singing at the top of my lungs to whatever song happened to be on the radio, helping Ghoul fix my boombox, just hanging around. Everything. I hadn't realized how much I had forgotten until I was remembering it.
We arrived at the old shack, and it was exactly as I remembered it. The paint peeling, the door creaking, the floor bending. Just how it was 10 years ago when I left it. It was like walking in a dream. Walking around, it was like I could hear his voice.
"Doctor D?" Ghoul called out "You here"
There was no reply. I looked over at him and frowned. He returned the gesture and knocked on the wall. Still nothing. I unhooked my blaster and cocked it.
"Stay here, I'm going to look around." He told me. I nodded and turned to face the road. He walked inside leaving me alone with my memories. Not that I had much time to think because a few minutes later I heard a noise behind the shack.
I snapped my head in that direction. I thought about calling for Ghoul but I didn't want him to think I was weak. Especially after him saving me. So, I went to check it out by myself.
"Who's there?" I said rounded the corner.
I looked around, for any sign of life when BAM! Someone slammed me into the side of the shack. My nose cracked and pain flared through my face.
"Fuck." I muttered turning to face my attacker. I pointed my blaster at him but he disarmed me. He grabbed me slammed me into the wall again. Before he could do it again, the sound of a blaster cocking filled the air and he stopped.
"I suggest you let her before this goes south." Ghoul threatened in a low voice "She is under my protection and I would give me life to protect her."
He let go of me and stumbled to the ground and crawled over to him, holding my bloody noise in pain. I looked over at him, for some reason he was wearing a ski mask.
"Good, now where is the man who lives here?" He continued.
"Why are you looking for him?" The man spat back.
"That's none of your business, now answer the question" Ghoul answered quickly.
The man didn't answer and kept his hard stare.
"Why is she so important to you?" He asked instead on answering.
Ghoul stepped in front of me, getting even more protective. I grumbled and stood up behind him.
"You keep asking questions that I can't tell you." Ghoul shot back.
"Dog Breath?" A voice called from the front of the shack.
I turned my head that way. Dog Breath?
"Tyler, stop calling him that. It's ridiculous." A lower more husky voice scolded.
"Doctor D!" Ghoul shouted taking my hand and dragging me away from him.
"Fun Ghoul! What have I told you about bringing strippers or whatever back to the shack!" Doctor D grumbled looking at me with a glint in his eye.
"Oh, I'm not a stripper I'm-"
"Oh, little Miss. Sunshine" He said with a laugh.
The man in the ski mask came from behind us, glaring at Ghoul. He walked over and stood next to the man pushing D's wheel chair.
"My, my you have grown." D continued, his smile growing wider.
"A lot can change in 10 years." I shrugged. While in the BUncker, I never really thought about my looks. I guess I had grown up more than I thought.
"That, my dear, is very true."
"D, who are these two? He attacked her." Ghoul asked firmly pointed at the one with the ski mask "I think he broke her nose."
"What! Joshua Dun! Take that silly think off right now and go get the medical kit." The Doctor demanded with a harsh look on his face.
Tyler laughed and grabbed the ski mask from of his head, revealing his blue colored hair on the top of his head. He smirked at me and walked inside.
"We, need to talk D. Can we stay here for the night before we head out?" Ghoul asked.
"Of course, my boy. Whenever you need. Sunshine, Tyler will take you to Josh and they'll fix your nose up." D instructed "Ghoul and I will head to the back" Ghoul nodded and put his hand on my shoulder with a stern look saying 'if they even try anything call me' I rolled my eyes and watched him walk off.
Tyler smiled at me and held out his hand.
"I'm Tyler Joseph" He introduced.
"I'm Sun- I mean I'm Rachel" I stuttered "I promise I know my own name, I just... I'm going to stop talking now."
Tyler snickered.
"It's all cool man, let me see your nose." He said walking over to me.
I hesitated by moved my hand so he could see my nose. He inspected it closely.
"It looks broken, what did he do?" Tyler inquired.
"Slammed me into a wall." I grumbled.
He giggle but when he saw my face tried to make it look like he was clearing his throat. Smooth.
"Then let's fix this up, Baby Boy." I joked.
He looked at me strangely but took me inside. He led me into the back of the shack passed old rooms with different names on them. Some familiar, like the names of the Killjoys, and some new and odd. I saw my old room. With, 'Sunshine' written in messy crayon on a piece of paper. I sighed and walked passed it.
"Sorry about your nose." Josh grumbled as we entered.
"Sure, next time you attack someone make sure they aren't, ya know... fragile... I don't know I'm bad at insults" I shrugged.
"Why is he trying to protect you?" Tyler said leaning on the table as Josh began to treat my nose.
"Apparently... I can't tell you yet. If Doctor D hasn't told you then I shouldn't." I replied.
We sat in silence as he continued to fix my aching nose when we heard Fun Ghoul start to yell.
"GET HER OUT! THEY FOLLOWED US!"
