"Have you ever had a makeover before?" Sunshine turns away from the dresser to look at me, a makeup brush in hand.

"No, I've never even seen make up before." Which is an exaggeration of course, although I haven't seen any since the apocalypse.

I'm sitting on the end of her bed, which was a single mattress on the ground. Sunshine brought me down to show me the 'bedrooms'. It was more like a basement divided into three rooms with mattresses and a few tables and sets of drawers. Sunshine shared a room with Missile, Jet and Kobra. It was the biggest of the three rooms, roughly the size of a lounge room. Party and Ghoul share the other and Dr Death and Show Pony share the last room. The other two rooms only had enough room for a double bed or two singles.

On a side note, Kobra wasn't kidding. On his bed, I spied a unicorn pillow pet and a My Little Pony unicorn doll on the table beside it.

Jet said they're gonna move some things around in this room, find a mattress and make a bed for me so I don't have to sleep on the couch.

"Well then, we better start with the basics." She walks over to me, crouching down, weapon in hand, ready to attack. The brush touches my face and I wince but then relax. It tickles. She applies the powder to my face then steps back to assess. She mumbles something about blush and highlight and fumbles around the dresser. She comes back adding more powder stuff to my face.

"You know what, you don't even need this shit. You're gorgeous without it. No need for contour, your cheekbones are perfect. And your eyebrows... I can't even get mine to look that good." I feel my cheeks go hot from the compliments.

"Thanks, but you're pretty too. I love your hair by the way. It suits you." I return the compliment gesturing towards her brown hair and the golden highlights that make it look like sunshine.

She smiles. "I missed having a girlfriend around. The boys are great, but I want someone to talk to about girl issues. I can't exactly start talking about how I'm craving chocolate because my period is due soon."

Ghoul appears at the door. "Umm yeah, you can. I have those problems too. Once, my period was three weeks late and I was freaking out. I thought I was pregnant. But then Party reminded me that I, in fact, have a dick and therefore can have as much sex as I like without getting a bun in the oven. Also, I'm gay." he chuckles and walks away.

"Ghoul, stop being a menace!" I hear Kobra yell from somewhere in the diner.

"See what I mean?" Sunshine says and I can't help but laugh. "Anyway... Would you be open to dying your hair, because I have the perfect idea for you."

The thought of dying my hair suddenly grounded me. This is real and I am here. Dyeing my hair would be a big change, a permanent change. My hair was medium length and a generic, dark brown and I've never even thought about dying it. But the idea was tempting. Now that will make me a Killjoy whether I like it or not.

"Maybe..." I shrug.

"I was thinking, bleach the ends and mak'em blue, like a royal blue. And maybe I could layer it a bit, give it some body," she suggested.

I nod.

"Oh, I almost forgot." She goes back over the dresser and brings over a colourful palette. "Your eyes are the most important part of your face. They're the gateway to the soul. And yours are amazing, I didn't know eyes come in that shade of blue." She's exaggerating. My eyes are simply just blue.

She applies some coloured powder stuff to my eyelids, chatting away about hair colours and clothes. It's nice having one-on-one time with her, although she talks a mile a minute and I can't get many words in.
