The True Lives Of The Fabulous Kill Joys

Chapter 7- Bulletproof Heart

"So, lets go and show you the stuff." Mk smirks.

I follow after them excitedly. On the floor in the centre is a piece of paper with a circle on it. Inside the circle is a heart with lines coming off of it. Its the same purple as my socks and general purple clothing. I clap my hands together, this is so exciting.

"So, when we put our signs on the wall you do this sign, you can even sign the wall, but you wont have time." Ar says.

"This is so cool Im so excited to draw this out wow." I say in one breath extremely fast.

"Chill, take this, we can put it by your bed, you need to cover it with some colour." MK says, handing me the page.

I clutch it in my grasp as Ef rushes back with a gun and holster. He hands them to me and I grin. I immediately work on putting on the leathery purple holster. I slip it up my right leg until it reaches the bottom of my shorts.

"Can I fix it on properly, I didnt know the size of your leg so I made it huge so I could adjust it." MK says.

"Okay..." I say warily.

MK sits at my foot with his scissors and other instruments. I try not to flinch as he fiddles with my leg. I look away at the rest of the guys, taking deep breaths.

"Are you okay?" Gee asks.

"Back in my area, nobody touches anyone unless you are their close relative or you are married. In summary, MK is feeling me up and its weird." I say slowly through gritted teeth.

Gee laughs for a while and I try not to notice MKs head near my crotch. Ef and Ar slap their legs, laughing really hard.

"Is it that funny?" I ask.

"Yeah just look at this." Ef says.

He grabs Gee around the waist, squeezing him in a hug, before stepping back for a brief moment. He turns to me before tackling Gee to the ground, sitting on top of him. Gee groans and I laugh.

"I guess it will take some time for me to get used to it." I say.

"Wow, you guys are dumbasses." Ar laughs.

Ef climbs off of Gee and Gee groans quietly, rubbing his head.

"Sorry." Ef says, chuckling.

"I think its done." MK says from my feet. "Also, sorry."

I smile and shrug. "Thanks."

"You got different clasps and stuff, easy to undo and what ever you want."

I put my hands down at the leg, feeling the holster. MK hands me the gun and I place it in the holder before mock whipping out and shooting.

I take the gun properly in my hands. The whole thing is purple and the top part of the gun, the bit thats not the handle, has stripes, black and purple. On top of the stripes in silver lettering is the word "destroya". My logo is on the handle.

A grin spreads across my lips, I put it in the holster before slowly looking up. The guys look slightly scared. I let out a piecing excited scream. I jump up and down, this is the coolest thing ever, I want to go and kill things and be a Killjoy. The guys look scared when I stop, Ef with his hands over his ears.

"Sorry, Im just so excited." I say quietly.

"You look it." MK says, grinning.

"Day after tomorrow you start properly, we need to get ready until then." Gee says.

"Anyone for some food? Im starving!" Ar says.

We all sit down and eat what I normally eat, canned energy. Nothing needs to be interesting when there are drugs...

Eating seems more fun now that Im with these guys, even eating boring food.

"Tomorrow we stock up, then we attack." Gee states.

Everyone agrees through a mouthful of food.

"So, what kind of adventures do you have? What part do I play?" I ask, excited.

"Calm Jay." Ar laughs.

"Its not THAT fun, its great but we have to do chores too." MK says.

"What about when you do have fun?" I ask.

"Its wild summer memories." Gee says.

"What am I to do the day after tomorrow?"

"You and Ef are distracting whilst we hack the system, mainly MK hacking the system but..."

"Do I dance? What do I do!"

"Stand there and look pretty." Gee gestures towards me and I cant help but blush. "Dodge rays and shoot them. Be the main attraction."

"Try not to die?" Ef adds.

"Especially that."

I nod, looking down at my can of energy. Try not to die, the ultimate adventure.

———————————————————

I put on my gun holster and my gun with a grin. I hope to use it today, even if Im not shooting someone. Quickly we are out the door and in the car, roofless, down the dirt track to "restock".

"Louder than Gods revolver and twice as shiny. This ones for all you rock and rollers, you crash queens and motor babies. Listen up!"

The radio blares out again, Doctor Death Defying keeping us updated. I lean back, taking in some of the sun. The sky is a perfect blue, but that may be the static.

I pull my gun out of the holster and feel in, passing it from hand to hand. I wonder what colour it shoots.

"Hey, here we are." Ar says.

I look up at a small gas station that we are pulling into.

"Ill do the petrol if Gee gets the food." Ar says.

"Agreed." Gee says.

They jump out the car and Ar starts filling up the petrol, Gee disappears inside, Ef grabs a magazine, grinning at the images inside.

"Could you help me hack the machine?" MK asks. "We need more chargers for our guns."

I nod, following him over to the machine. He pulls out his vend-a-hack and plugs in in, pressing some buttons.

"Press this code as I work around the back."

He gives me a sheet and I type in the code into the machine. Theres a rattling sound and four chargers drop out of the machine.

"Grab them, Ill be one moment."

I take the chargers, putting one in each pocket of my leather jacket. The other two I hold and wait for MK.

MK comes out from the back, typing something into the vend-a-hack before removing it.

"Good job... High five?" He says, lifting his hand.

I lean back, confused. "What are you doing, dont hit me?"

"Its a high five? Slapping hands together to celebrate an achievement?"

"My hands are full though?"

"Lets try this later."

"Okay."

We walk back to the car and I hand the batteries over before walking quietly behind Frank, who is sitting on the front of the car. I look over his shoulder at the magazine, girls posing provocatively.

"You are never going to get a girlfriend or wife if you want that." I say pointing at the page.

Ef jumps, slamming the pages closed.

"Must be lonely."

"You scared me."

"Sorry."

"Lets go." Gee says, emerging from the shop.
