“So that’s how you treat a lady? Nice. I’ll have you know we came from the other side of the country to here without incident.” I explained with a triumphant smirk.
“That is a little impressive. If I were you, bro, I would consider apologising.” The blond one said. So, the blond and the redhead are related? That could be helpful to know later.
“I agree with Kobra. Especially because Venom looks like she could kill us any second now.” The short one pointed out.
Venom was still sitting there inspecting one of her knives. She briefly looked up, realizing she was being talked about, and giggled.
“I don’t care, I never apologize. They haven’t seen real danger for there to be any incident, so there’s nothing to be sorry about.” The redhead looked like he could blow his top anytime now. I’ve even been as nice as possible this whole time. He must have some major anger issues or something.
Dr. Death Defying took notice to this too. “If there’s going to be a fight, take it outside.” He announced simply.
This whole time Flash Drive has been hiding behind me as best as possible, but now she took a step out from behind me. “Alright, this is enough. We all have problems here, so why can’t we just get along? And if you’re curious, Party Poison, I killed dozens of Dracs to be standing here now.”
How did she know their names already? Well I knew their names too. I guess I just didn’t care to use them while trying to one up Party.
The one with the Fro was Jet Star. Blondie was Kobra Kid, and the short guy was Fun Ghoul.
“I agree with the short one.” Jet Star agreed with Flash.
“My name’s Flash Drive.” She mumbled getting back behind me a little.
I turn to Dr. D to ask him a question. “Is Party always like this?”
Party stormed out to one of the back rooms. I just smirk knowing he’s probably upset by the fact that I just pointed him out like he wasn’t even there.
Dr. D sighed before answering. “No. He’s just a little pissed because another search mission for his kid failed. Probably just needs to let some steam off.”
“We all miss our kids.” Fun Ghoul pitched in.
“If he needs a fight, I’m sure me and Venom could help him out.” Flash smiles at Venom, and they both run out of the room into the back where Party went.
“Guys!” I yelled after them.
“They have have no clue how bad he really is.” Dr. D tsked.
“Yup, poor kids.” Jet Star agreed.
Before I could run after Flash and Venom they came running back through the Diner with Party Poison on their heels. They ran straight past us all, and outside. Luckily, by now the storm had already blown through. I don’t know much about dust storms, so I’m not even sure if it is possible for it to be over already.
I sigh, “I’ll go get them.”
“Just leave ‘em.” Kobra Kid said. “Maybe he will feel better after a little rough housing.”
“Whatever. So, would you guys have any problem letting us stay here for a little?”
“We only have one extra room.” Fun Ghoul said, trying to put us off.
“We can all squeeze. Girls don’t have a problem sleeping together like guys do.” I smirked.
“What about supplies and such?” He asked, still trying to find a reason for us not to stay.
“That’s just lame. We have our own stuff yet too.” There was no way I was going to let them win. We only needed to stay a couple days, until we could find somewhere to stay.
Right then Party Poison strode back into the Diner holding Flash Drive upside by her ankle in one hand, and dragging Venom behind him by her wrist. They were all laughing hysterically.
Party let them both go, and between chuckles said, “Thanks you two, I needed that. Especially you shorty, I guess it is the smallest who is the strongest.”
“Hey! What about me?” Venom complained.
“You’re just crazy and demented.”
Venom’s face lit up with a triumphant.
“My names isn’t shorty though.” Flash Drive mumbled.
“Then what is it?” Party questioned loudly.
“It’s Flash Drive.” She answered a little louder.
“If you’re okay Party, then Kobra do you mind showing these girls to the back room? We’ve got to talk.” Jet Star said.
“Hey! I’m staying. You’re probably talking about our request, and I’m the leader here. I’m going to be a part of this.” I stood my ground where I was, and let my hand fall to my side where my ray gun was.
“It’s not going to happen!” Fun Ghoul immediately protested.
“Hey girls, I think this one needs a little convincing.” My entire crew, including Flash Drive, all took their ray guns into their hands. Well everyone, but Venom that is. She went for knives, they’re much more her style.
“Take it easy. You can stay, but only you. Kobra will show the others to the back room.” Party Poison took command of the situation.
My crew chuckled a little victorious laugh, and followed Kobra Kid to wherever the back room was. Soon he returned alone where we had all taken a seat at one of the booths.
To be continued...
Okay, I'm really going to try and post some of this on a daily basis considering that in two weeks I'll be leaving for several weeks. Sorry 'bout that guys, but I've got work.
Don't let the bed bugs bite,
Sleep tight, and sweet dreams.
