Suzy sniffed at the fresh air. She was in her old town. The one she belonged in. She was at her old house. The house right next to Dally's. Her mother had taken her away after she got in some trouble with Dally and the greasers. Whoa, she thought, I'm here. Dally is right next door to me.

Suddenly, she saw the front door open. Maybe it was Dally, she thought. She started jumping up in excitement, not noticing who it was.

"Hey, Suze," Soda was saying. She finally stoppped jumping when she didn't hear Dallas's marvelous voice.

"Soda?" She squinted at him. "Soda!" She screamed.

She ran toward him and hugged him. She was hugging him in a rocking motion. Soda loved to see her. She was like a best friend to him. The hug was a comforting motion. After she left the town, Dallas didn't care. He went straight to Sylvia again. Soda didn't know if he should tell her about Dallas and Sylvia. Soda decided to keep his mouth shut.

"Soda, how was everything while I was gone?" She let go of him. He looked straight at her.

"Fine, Suze. Fine, I guess," He said, before he launched into a whole story, leaving out Dallas.


Dallas was sitting on the roof top of his car. He was with Sylvia.

"Sylvia," He leaned down and kissed her, "I really like kissing you," He chuckled. Then he kissed her again.

She put her arms around his neck, and kissed him. "I like," She kissed him, "kissing you, too."


Soda marched into the house with Suzy by his side. "Darry, look who's back!"

"Oh, it's Suzy! Dallas will be so excited," She jumped at the sound of his name. This is why she came back. "Just that he's out-" Soda jumped out to tackle Darry.

Suzy was confused. She thought, who was Dally out with? Soda tackled Darry to the floor before Darry got on top of him. "What?" Darry was on his knees, right next to Soda. He kept him on the floor.

"Suzy, she thinks that Dally is free. Remember, they were so in love before she moved," Soda hissed, then softened his tone, "And he's goin' out with Sylvia again, now,"

"Oh," Darry said. He got up, and walked over to Suzy. "Suzy, how 'bout Soda and Pony take you to the drive-in, meet up with everyone else, tomorrow,"

Suzy was still confused by Soda's immmediate reaction. She was dying to see Sandy and Pony and everyone though. She didn't bother to ask. She just nodded.

"I'll come over here 'bout 8:30?"

"Sounds good." Darry said. He watched her leave the room.
