Jet pulled the car up outside what looked like a mixture between a fallout shelter and a nightclub and we all got out of the car with Party Poison helping me when I nearly tripped over one of the seats.

"I think it's only Sunshine here at the moment. You can just call her Sunshine by the way or Throttle, she goes by both." Party told me as we walked up to the door, it was true that I got a bit confused as to what I should call people but I was getting the hang of things now.

Party knocked on the door that was obviously locked and we waited outside for a moment before someone's voice was heard from the other side. Not the ghostly other side thing I mean the other side of the...ugh never mind.

"Who is it?" It was a girls voice, a hint of abrasivness and a touch of caution. From what I've collected while hanging out with these people it was to exact thing you'd need to stay alive out here.

"Korse and the draculoids. We've come to rape your valuables and plunder your women...or was it the other way around?" Ghoul called out and the door instantly swung open while I laughed my head off.

"Hello, Ghoulie. You know I wouldn't mind if it was you." The blonde and black haired girl said, wrapping her arms around each of the guys and giving them a hug before stopping in front of me.

"You're new. Hi, I'm Sunshine. Oh dear look at your clothes. Inside now so I can burn that dress." I smiled and walked into the building, burning things. I have a feeling I'll get along well with Sunshine.

As she flicked her ponytail over her shoulder I noticed a strange line running down her back, it looked like it was some kind of crack and I wondered if I was seeing things clearly.

"Sunshine's a droid and very close friends with Fun Ghoul." The creepy look I'd seen Ghoul give her when she hugged him made it obvious they had some kind of relationship.

"What's a droid?" I asked, I wanted to know what one was and the guys would have to get used to me asking a lot of questions if they kept up with the lingo.

"I'm a android. Made by BLI to work as servants for the numb and at the Retinal Resorts, we're like robots. I ran away, I'm not a servant to anyone. That's why I live out here in the Zones, I'm the first droid Killjoy." She was a robot? But she seemed just like a normal person with the exception of the line running down her back.

"You might have seen some of my work in Shiny." She sashayed down some steps and I followed her, she didn't walk like anyone I'd met.

"Aw sweetie you don't know what Shiny is do you?" She noticed the look on my face as I tried to guess what it would mean and she explained.

"Shiny means one of two things out here. Meaning one, cool, awesome, great, solid. Like 'wow Party's jacket it shiny!' Then there's the other meaning. There's a magazine out here where girls of my caliber can get work very easily." Oh so she's a model or something, she's pretty enough for it and walks like a model.

"It's droid porn." She finished as I spat my imaginary cup of tea across the room, brain reset, unhear, reclaim the innocence of not having heard those words.

Party Poison walked over and put his hands on my shoulders and I tried to erase the shocked look on my face. It'd probably be insulting to her, she had her line of work. Everyone needs a way to make cash and I shouldn't judge her for it.

"Uh she won't be reading Shiny anytime soon. Kiddo here was one of the comatose so go easy on her. She's still getting used to everything." Sunshine gave me a soft and apologetic smile before going over to a giant closet and opening the doors.

"Shiny's a good mag." Ghoul commented and I made a disgusted sound. Every group needs its sexual deviant I suppose and this must be one of the android girls Jet Star was talking about earlier.

"Wouldn't it be weird having sex with a robot though?" I didn't mean to sound insulting to Sunshine, she was really nice but I was curious and well, curiosity killed the cat.

"No it's surprisingly realistic." Ghoul said and I nearly barfed, or in this case curiosity ruined the cats innocence.

"Okay shut up and out." Kobra pushed Ghoul up the stairs when he started laughing at my wide eyed expression. Thank chocolate he's finally shut up.

"I've got a lot of clothes here for you so just take your pick but boys you need to leave now unless she wants you to stay here." I shook my head, I definitely didn't want any of them seeing me get changed when it came to that, I'd die from embarrassment.

"Not even Party Poison? I don't think he'd mind staying." Are you kidding me? Hell no, I don't want him staying in here.

Party clapped his hands together, gave Sunshine and I a brief nod then walked halfway up the stairs before stopping and turning around.

"Sunshine, please stop. You're freaking her out." He then disappeared back up the stairs with the Jet who left with Kobra and Ghoul.

"Alright. What's your favourite colour?" She asked as she walked over to the closet and stood there with her hands on her hips.

"I don't know." Damn it brain, how hard is it I remember a favourite colour? It's just a freaking colour.

"What's your favourite out of those?" Sunshine pointed to a palette of colours on the wall and I looked at them for a moment before deciding.

"I like the red." I had a feeling I might have liked that before, it stood out and was bold, just like me. At times.

"Pick two more." She held up two fingers and waggled them before adopting her hands on hips pose once more.

"Um, purple and black. The purple's very purplely." I don't know why I had to add something stupid to a otherwise normal sentence but my brain decided to do it anyway.

She nodded then delved into the closet that was almost overflowing with clothes, all ranging from white to black and every colour in between. There was denims, leathers, fur, silk. Everything on the material scale you could imagine.

I stood there for a moment, wondering what she was doing when all of a sudden clothes came flying at me. I immediately ducked and they sailed over my head, hitting the wall behind me and landing on the floor. I have a feeling I was supposed to catch those.

"Well you were probably never one for sports anyway." She sighed, after turning around and looking at the clothes on a pile, on the ground.

Sunshine picked them up and handed them to me before pointing in the direction of a changing room. I walked over and pulled the curtain shut behind me then looked at the clothes. They were the exact kind I'd want to wear.

I pulled my dress of and having no idea what to do with it, tossed it over the top of the curtain.

I then pulled on the clothes Sunshine had given to me, a black top, some multicoloured tights, a pair of frayed red shorts and a bright red jacket that looked like something a ringmaster would wear.

Feeling much more comfortable in clean clothing that I would actually be caught dead in, I walked out of the room with a lot more confidence than I had arriving here.

"Damn I'm good picking outfits. Hang on just add these and everything will be complete. Ooh and this as well." She handed me a scarf and a pair of black boots. I sat on the floor and buckled them on before tying the scarf around my wrist and standing up.

"Do they program you with a good taste in clothing or do you get that by yourself?" I was genuinely curious and wanted to know.

"No it's just me, some droids have the ability to personalise themselves. I'm one of the lucky ones. Thanks for the compliment though." I smiled at her and looked at my outfit again, I really loved it.

"This is the best outfit ever." I added then tugged on my shorts.

"You look like you could go out and kick some serious drac butt." She grinned at me and I grinned back before noticing something that made me feel a little awkward.

"Do you have a slightly longer shirt?" I asked, gesturing to the black top she'd given me that stopped just above my belly button and not covering much of my stomach region.

"Yeppers." She stuck her head in the closet for a moment before pulling out a singlet with 'Ramones' written on the front. I think they might have been a band or something.

I took my jacket off then pulled the singlet on over the black shirt then smiled, I feel a lot better being able to cover up some skin.

"Okay I can send you back to the Killjoys now. They probably have some initiation ceremony to guide you through." I really wanted to know what the initiation ceremony was but something else came to mind.

"Do you have a mirror." She held up a hand, gesturing for me to wait before trotting out of the room and coming back a moment later with a full length mirror.

"Here, have a look at yourself." I walked over to it and she grinned at me while I looked at my reflection and actually saw myself for the first time ever that I can remember.

My eyes were stuck somewhere between green, blue and grey. They were almond shaped and stood out against my very pale skin that looked like it had never seen sunlight.
My eyebrows where fairly straight but had a semi evil curve to them at the end.

My nose was alright I guess straight and kinda cute. My lips were nice although the bottom one looked like it had gotten a bit enthusiastic when growing.

My face was heart shaped with high cheekbones and dark circles that hung under my eyes even though I must have been asleep for years.

My chest, woah, how I couldn't have noticed those things earlier was beyond me. I'm lucky I didn't knock myself out.

On either side of my bottom lip were two black dots I hadn't noticed before, when I pulled on them I flinched. Okay so I apparently had piercings, I don't know what part of my brain would want me to do that.
I hate needles.

Then there was one final component of me that brought my whole look together. Purpley red hair with green at the ends that hung slightly over one eye, wow that was much brighter than I expected.

Seeing myself for the first time was like realising who I really was.

"Guys you can come downstairs now! She's all dressed!" Sunshine called out and there was the thumping sound of them running down the stairs, loudly, like guys do.

"Woah, kiddo you look great." I'd gotten used to Party calling me that now even if it used to annoy me the first few times. What else was he supposed to call me anyway? It's not like I had a name.

"Thank Sunshine, not me. She was the one who picked out the clothes." I smiled and pulled my jacket tighter around my chest.

"Thanks, Sunshine. She looked like Virgin Mary before. Now she looks badass and it's okay for me to perv on her." Fun Ghoul better have been joking or I was gonna take Party's gun and add another hole to his scarf.

"No it's not. You've got Throttle and a million other droids. Don't make someone new to our group hate you please." Jet said, smacking him upside the head and earning a snort from Sunshine who obviously thought it was funny.

"Sorry babe. Just joking." Ghoul gave Sunshine a insincere apology and she shrugged. She cared for the apology about as much as he did giving it.

"Sunshine we have to go now. Get back to Girl before it gets too dark and we need to set up camp." Party told her and she nodded with her arms crossed over her chest. She still had a smile over her face.

"Okay guys. You better drive safely." Sunshine turner to me with a grin. "Don't let Party drive. He's nutso."

"Don't worry, he already has. She barfed on the floor." Kobra laughed a little, good he's gotten over it. I didn't think he'd want to talk to me ever again after the horrified look I'd gotten from him when I puked in the car.

Sunshine gave me a hug goodbye before saying there was something she needed to do downstairs so I headed upstairs with just the guys. We got to the front door and Party Poison suddenly became very stiff and stood in front of the door. Stopping the group from going anywhere.

"I think there's a drac outside." He said before going over to one of the windows that was covered by blackout curtains and peering out. He nodded to confirm it. Great one of those masked freaks.

"Now's a good a time as any for kiddos initiation." Jet suggested and I wondered what it was supposed to mean. Did I go out there and flip off the draculoid or streak by it while singing 'oh Canada'?

"Sounds like an idea. Take my zapper." I started laughing at Party's words even though they were meant to be serious, god I've got the brain of a ten year old.

It took me a minute to stop laughing and when I did Party Poison handed me his ray gun. Does he want me to shoot at Ghoul again? I'm up for that.

"It's really simple what you have to do and everyone does it. Even me. Just go outside and dust the draculoid. Once he's ghosted take his blaster and you're in the cool kids club." I was smart enough to know Party didn't want me throwing sand at him. The words obviously meant kill.

Is it heartless for me to not feel bad at the thought of ghosting a drac?

I nodded and clicked the safety off the gun, getting a surprised look from the guys when they realised I had no problem going through with it.

Party held the door open for me and I walked out into the desert at a brisk pace, not giving myself time to think of the can I couldn't hit an hour or so back. This is a person sized thing, it'll be easer to hit than a tiny tin can that's about fifty metres away.

The draculoid turned away from the groups car that it'd been inspecting before I came out, he started to grab the gun from the holster under his white jacket.
By the time he'd done that I'd taken aim down the barrel of the gun just like Party Poison had showed me and with my blood racing I pulled the trigger back, hard.

The bright red beam of light that I noticed was individual to each ray gun went shooting out like a bullet from a gun and hit the drac directly in the chest, sending him to the ground.

Not letting my guard down for a second I walked over to the draculoid who was lying on the ground on the opposite side of the car. He or she wasn't moving and a smile came to my face, I hope it's the one who cheated when I called time out.

For good measure to make sure they wouldn't be getting back up I shot the drac in the head and stood there for a moment.
Nope they're gone, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, I won't be missing you, you freaking bastard who's on team, 'hey lets shave off her hair!'

The white gun was laying on the ground next to him and I picked it up, clicked on the safety and stuffed it into the waistband of my shorts. If I didn't feel like a drac killing badass before I certainly did now.

With Party's blaster I went back to the door and knocked, the door swung open and the guys were standing there with their mouths having slightly open as if they were surprised I went through with it.

"You actually ghosted the drac." Kobra said, he looked the most surprised out of all of them.

"Yeah that's what I was supposed to do, right?" I gave Party his gun back and he took it from me, holstering it and erasing the surprised expression.

"But you did it without even hesitating." I shrugged, I never thought about anything I did, I just did it.

"He who hesitates is lost." I explained, I don't know why that saying came to mind but it related to my current situation.

"It's still fucking ruthless. Nice!" Ghoul gave me a grin and a thumbs up.

"What do you wanna call your zapper?" Party asked as we walked towards the car again, this time there was no drac to stop us.

I slid into the middle of the backseat and mulled over his words while Party Poison sat on one side of me and Kobra Kid on the other.

"What do you mean?" I don't know why I'd want to name the gun that I guess was mine now. I knew some people would name their stuff but I wasn't the kind of person who would.

"If you were to call your gun something what would it be?" I thought for a moment, it wouldn't kill me to humour him.

"Electric Revenge, that sounds kinda cool I guess." It was kinda catchy and sounded like an excellent name for a ray gun.

Party took off a empty holster he had on his hip as the car started moving again, going back to the radio shack in Zone 6.
He watched me as I got the idea I was supposed to wear the holster and I strapped it on, easily doing up the small buckles despite having long fingernails.

I put the gun I'd acquired minutes ago into the holster and grinned, it looked really awesome, I'll say that much.

Party Poison and I grinned at each other for a moment before he slung his arm over my shoulder, causing my heart to start beating quickly.

"Welcome to The Fabulous Killjoys, Electric Revenge."
