The Fabulous Killjoys

We walked until late morning, when Kobra Kid and I soon got tired. As we settled down onto the dry, dusty ground, something caught my eye. Two boys around the age of me and Kobra cautiously walked toward us. Their steps were slow and even. I took a few steps back and grabbed Kobra Kid's arm. Kobra looked at me with worried eyes. The two boys came closer.

"Wh-who are you?" the shorter one asked timidly.
I shot a look at Kobra before answering. "I'm Party Poison and this is Kobra Kid. Who are you," I demanded, holding my laser gun up for protection.
"Woah, woah, calm down, we're not gonna hurt you," the short boy assured, hands raised.
"Strange names. They can't be given to you from birth," the other boy said with a smirk.
I advanced toward the boy and stretched out my arm further so that my gun was extended toward his head. "Your names," I whispered in his ear. "Or the both of you won't ever see the light of day again.
The boy jsut rested his finger on my gun and pushed it down. "How can we trust you? For all we know, you could be from the Better Living Industries."
"We're actually trying to avoid them right now," I spat, trying to sound tough.
"Oh, really?" he said, seemingly suspicious of me. "Then what's that in your hand," he said lifting up my gun.
I pulled away and aimed it toward him again. "It's a gun," I replied.
"Yeah, I can see that," the boy said, and looked at me like I was stupid. "Why the hell does it say 'Better Living Industries' on it?" he raised his voice.
"I... uh... sorta used it t-to kill and injure two men from Better Living Industries," I said timidly, backing away from the two boys and lowered my gun. My eyes rested upon it sorrowfully before starting again. "I stole one of the men's guns and used it to kill him. I then shot another one in the leg."
The two boys backed away from me.
"But it was only in self-defense, I swear. They were trying to hurt my family and implant tracking chips in them. I couldn't let that happen, so I attacked them. I didn't mean for it to go that far."
"Very convincing story," said the taller boy. You have gained my trust," he said with an outstretched arm.
I took his hand and shook it. "Now, what are your guys' names?"

The two boys told me their names, and I looked at them thoughtfully. "Is Bl/Ind. after you guys, too?"
"Actually, yes. You see, we refused to let them give us tracking chips, too. So we ran away, and the men that were trying to inject us with the liquid that had the tracking chips in it got all mad and started chasing us. We lost them a while ago, and now it's just us," the boy explained, pointing to the shorter boy.
"Well, if you are running from the Bl/Ind., then it would be best to not use your real names," I then proceeded to explain the name-picking rules that I had explained to Kobra Kid.
"I see," said the boy. "In that case, I'll be Jet Star."
The shorter boy approached me. "And I'll be Fun Ghoul," he said, with a huge smile spread across his face.
"Now, we must address each other by our new names from now on," I explained to Jet Star and Fun Ghoul.
"Right on," said Fun Ghoul. "So this means you'll let us join you?" his face lit up.
"Yes," I answered. "As long as you abide by the rules and don't betray us, then we should be fine."
