p style="text-align: left;"It was a week after graduation, and all the Pink Ladies were gathered at Frenchy's house for a celebratory sleepover./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"Jan was reading a magazine while Frenchy did her hair, Marty was writing to her marine boyfriend, and Sandy was talking on the phone with Danny. The only one not in the bedroom was Rizzo. She was in the bathroom, sitting on the side of the tub staring at a pregnancy test - a positive pregnancy test./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" How could this have happened?" she whispered. She wasn't prepared for a baby. She was only eighteen. How was she going to tell everyone?/p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"She stared at the test some more, and her lips started to quiver. " No." she told herself, biting her lip and shutting her eyes to prevent the tears from running down her face. " No crying." she said. She had to remain the strong one ... no matter what. She finally stood up and went into the bedroom./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Hey, Rizzo is back. Now we can officially start the party." Frenchy said, bringing out a bottle of wine she kept under her bed. She opened it and took a drink, and passed it to the other girls, who all had some too. But when the bottle was handed to Rizzo, she paused. She didn't want it to look like anything was wrong, but she didn't want to hurt her baby either./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Rizz?" Frenchy said, snapping Rizzo out of it./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" I don't want any right now. Maybe later." she said./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"Everyone stared at her in shock. Even Sandy, who only started drinking the day of graduation./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Did I hear you correctly? You don't want any wine?" Marty asked her, concerned./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" I'm just not in the mood for any right now." said Rizzo, staring at the floor./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"Everyone looked at her again, but this time they didn't say anything, afraid they might upset her more than she already was./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Okay then." said Frenchy, putting the wine back under her bed. " What do you guys want to do now?"/p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" I'm tired, so I think I'll just go to bed." Jan said. The others agreed since it was already midnight. Soon, Frenchy and Rizzo were the only ones still awake./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Hey French, can I talk to you?" Rizzo asked/p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Sure, come here." Frenchy said, patting the empty side of the bed. Rizzo looked at her sadly before she started talking./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" You know how we were on the ferris wheel at graduation, and that Kenickie told me to get off because I had a condition?"/p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"Frenchy nodded slightly, as if nodding too much would break her concentration./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"Rizzo continued. " And remember that I told him I wasn't pregnant...?" she said, trailing off. Frenchy nodded again./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" I lied." Rizzo said, looking at the floor again./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"Frenchy's eyes widened. " When did you find out?" she asked/p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" When I was in the bathroom a while ago. That's why I didn't drink." she said. They both sat quietly until.../p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Are you going to tell the others?" Frenchy asked./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" I'm going to tell them when we get up later." she replied. It was already three in the morning./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" You should get some sleep." Frenchy told her./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Yeah, I guess." said Rizzo, getting off the bed. Frenchy pulled back the covers on her bed, which was empty because everyone else was either on the floor or the couch. " You can sleep on this side." Frenchy said, pointing to the left side of the bed while getting in on the right. Rizzo got in and laid down./p
p style="text-align: left;" /p
p style="text-align: left;"" Thanks, French." " No problem." she said, and smiled softly. Rizzo smiled back and turned over. It wasn't long before both of them fell asleep./p
