    “Where are you going, kiddo?” The driver asked.

    “I don’t know.” The kid replied, shuffling his feet.

    “Are you from Battery City?” The passenger of the car asked him.

    “I don’t know. I came from the city over there.” He said, pointing at the direction he came from.

    “That would be Battery City.” The driver said. “Kid, do you wanna stay with us? We promise to keep you safe.”

    “Yeah.” He said, bouncing back and forth on the toes and heels of his feet.

    “Well, get in the car, kiddo.”

    He nodded and climbed in, sitting in the backseat.

    “What’s your name?” The passenger asked.

    “Aaron. What are your guy’s names?”

    The driver spoke up. “I’m Vaya, and that’s Vamos.”

    “Nice to meet you.” Vamos said to Aaron.

    “Nice to meet you guys too!” Aaron responded.

    “Hey Aaron, what is your killjoy name?” Vamos asked.

    “I don’t have one.” He replied.

    “Well, make one up!” Vaya encouraged.

    “Fun Ghoul!” The eight year old decided.

    “What a fun name!” Vaya said, purposely making the pun.

    Ghoul giggled, feeling like he’s gonna do well with these two.
