The next morning Steve, Buck and Soda all came up to the room. Buck was going to ask Vessa if she wanted a waitress job and Steve and Soda were just gonna visit for a while.

Buck opened the door and they saw the two of them laying on the bed together. Vessa had her arm stretched over Dally's chest as she laid on her stomach and the three boys saw the ring. Steve looked closer and saw that Dallas had a ring on his left ring finger also.

"Let's go down and talk to them later, Steve don't talk to them about that yet, let them tell you on their own terms," Buck suggested.

"Alright," was all Steve said and the three boys went downstairs and to the bar area.

Four hours later Vessa came downstairs and sat next to Steve at a table. She now had her ring on her necklace again.

"Morning sunshine," Steve greeted and she smiled at him.

"Morning Stevie," she replied.

"Coffee Vessa?" Buck asked and she simply nodded with a yawn.

"God Dally hogs the bed," Vessa told the boys and they all chuckled.

"I had a feeling he'd share the bed, he hates couches," Steve told her, "Well he hates that couch, he says it's to hard."

"That couch is hard to sleep on," Vessa told him and he nodded in agreement.

"I slept on it also myself a few times, it is a hard couch," Steve told her just as Buck handed her her cup of coffee.

"Thanks Buck," she told him and he nodded.

"Anytime, oh, I was wondering if you'd like a full time job as a waitress?" he asked and she smiled.

"I'd love to Buck," she replied and he smiled.

"I'll get you you're uniform later, for now what you're in is good enough," he told her.

"Oh Dally's black t-shirt and my jean skirt, nice huh?" she joked.

"That's where my shirt went," Dallas joked as he sat next to her.

"I needed something to wear since all my clothes are at home," she told him and he chuckled.

"It's alright doll, you know I don't mind you borrowing my t-shirts," he told her and she smiled. He took her coffee and took a drink.

"Sure you can have a drink," she joked and he smiled at her, "Buck can I get another cup since I'm giving Dallas that one?"

"Coming right up," Buck chuckled as he watched Dally drink more of the coffee. He brought her her own cup.

"Thanks Buck, oh by the way how much does he owe on his tab here?" she asked and Buck sighed.

"I'll figure it out why?" Buck asked.

"I'm paying it off," she told him and Buck smiled.

"Don't need to Vessa," Dallas told her.

"Yeah, I do, plus, who else will?" she asked with a chuckle.

"You got me there babe," he told her and she smiled.

Buck came back to her, "twenty dollars is what he owes."

"Okay, I'll bring it down later, my wallet's in Dally's nightstand," she told him.

"Whenever is fine Vessa," he replied and she nodded and drank her coffee more.

"Okay," she simply replied and finished her coffee. She sat there thinking about how or even when she'll tell Steve and the rest about her and Dallas getting married when he was in Oklahoma City. That is one thing she knows no one will really like but as Buck told her, the only people that truly matter are her parents and Dally's dad.

The whole day was a long, slow day. A few guys tried to pick her up, that was until she told them who she was dating and the guys left her alone. Steve, Soda and Buck all noticed that Vessa was acting weird but wasn't sure if they should talk to her about it or not.

Dallas was hanging out with Pony, Johnny and Two-Bit that day. Pony was in his own world reading a book while Two-Bit and Johnny were watching TV. Dallas on the other hand was thinking. He wasn't sure if he should just come out and tell the boys what all went on in Oklahoma City or talk to Vessa about it and then the two of them tell them all at once together or what should go on.

"Dally, you okay man?" Two-Bit asked pulling Dallas out of his thoughts.

"I'm fine," Dallas told him in reply.

"You sure, ever since you came back from Oklahoma City you've been acting, well not like yourself," Two-Bit told him and Dallas just glared at him.

"It's nothing," Dallas told him and went into the bathroom. A few minutes later Soda, Steve, Vessa and Darry all came inside.

"Is Dallas here?" Vessa asked.

"Bathroom," Two-Bit told her and she went that way, she knocked on the door and went inside.

"That's weird," Steve spoke up.

"What is?" Darry asked in reply.

"Them two are weird, Dally's not himself, Vessa's acting like she's in her own world most of the time, she's normally laughing and joking around a lot and now it's like there's something going on that's keeping her quiet, and Dallas he's a little more kind then normal," Steve told him and Darry nodded in reply.

"Well maybe Dallas actually fell in love and wants to change some," Pony spoke up making the rest laugh.

Meanwhile Vessa and Dallas were talking in the bathroom, "Everything alright babe?" Dallas asked her as she fixed her makeup.

"Just, I'm not sure Dallas, I'm scared to tell them in a way," she told him in return. He sighed and put his arms around her waist.

"So am I," he told her truthfully and she smiled.

"A big tough hood like yourself is scared of something, shocking," she joked and he just smiled at her, "but, we need to tell them before something happens or before they hear it through the grape vine."

"I know we do," he told her and chuckled, "you don't need that crap to be pretty babe, you're naturally pretty."

"You think?" she asked and he nodded. She turned in his arms and kissed him, "I love you Dallas Winston."

"I love you too Vanessa Winston," he replied and she smiled, "Well, we better go tell them huh?"

"Yeah, we should," she replied and the two of them went to the living room.

"What took you two so long I need to pee," Two-Bit joked as he ran to the bathroom.

"Sorry, we were talking Two-Bit," Vessa quietly told him making him stop.

"What's wrong cutie?" he asked.

"Go to the bathroom first, we'll tell everyone at once," she told him. He nodded and went to the bathroom. A few moments later he came out and sat next to Vessa and saw her playing with a ring on her necklace.

"That's pretty, where'd ya get it?" he asked. She sighed, took it off her necklace and placed it on her left ring finger. Two-Bit saw that Dallas also had a ring on the left ring finger. "Vessa, Dallas what's up?"

"Well, when I visited my aunt and uncle in Oklahoma City, I just didn't visit them, I also went and visited Vessa here," Dallas spoke up.

"We kinda figured," Darry told him and Vessa smiled.

"There's more, we, we also got married," Vessa quietly told them and they all gave her a confused look.
