One night before the last day of school, the girls were having a sleepover at Marty's house. They always have a tradition where every Friday night they take turns sleeping over at each other's houses until the end of the school year.
Marty sits on her bed reading a magazine, Franny is brushing Rizzo's hair attempting to make them into curls, and Jan watches the Mickey Mouse club doing very funny impressions making the girls laugh.
"Hey Jan? You need to get out more," Rizzo laughs after Jan pulled a Minnie Mouse.
She asked confused, "What do ya mean?"
"I mean you watching cartoons all the time. You seem really good at it." Rizzo says very impressed.
"For your information, I watch television every Saturday night and memorized their lines," Jan said and continued to watch the television and eating a Twinkie.
"Of course you do." Rizzo turns and gave Marty a cigarette and a light. Franny asks, "What's that smell?"
"What smell?" Rizzo asks.
Franny sniffs the air. "It smells like something burning."
"Oh," Rizzo says, "It was Marty smoking cigarettes."
"You two smoke now?" Jan asked puzzled. Rizzo sighs before taking a cigarette and lights it also. "Yeah. Since camp. You wanna try? It won't kill ya?"
"I don't know Rizz. I don't want to get sick or anything," Franny said a little disgusted.
"Give it a try." Rizzo gives Franny and Jan each a cigarette and gave them a light. In just 3 seconds, both girls starting coughing.
"Same thing happened to me first time. Just get with it."
An hour later, the girls started to watch "Cinderella," though Rizzo doesn't want to, but Franny and Jan voted on it. Marty sits on the bed with Rizzo who is tortured by a Disney movie, while Franny sits in a comfortable love seat brushing her hair, and Jan lies on her stomach in her sleeping bag on the floor with her chin resting on her fists. After the movie begins, Marty breaks the silence, "We should be a group or something."
"Yeah! We should," Franny squeaked. "Like a gang!"
Rizzo said sarcastically dreamily, "A gang where no one else is invited besides us."
"We need a name," Marty says thinking.
They spent the almost half the entire movie discussing about the name of the group, but they all disagreed to the names like "beauty gals" "hot babes" "cuties" and even "black girls" (Which of course they automatically disagreed on.)
Jan who was silent the whole time eating Twinkies and popcorn muffled, "Pig ladies…."
"Jan. You're not creating a gang which will make us fat," Rizzo sarcastically laughs.
Jan swallowed the food and says, "Pink ladies." She said it with a K.
Rizzo, Franny, and Marty looked at her for a moment but then Franny says, "I kinda like that name Jan."
"I agree! Do ya Rizz?" Marty asks Rizzo. Rizzo was silent for a moment and then smiles finally agreeing. "We should be the pink ladies."
The girls cheer and then Rizzo gives glasses of party drinks, "A toast to the gang! Or should I say the pink ladies!" Each girl takes a glass and then says "cheers" not at the same time, and clink their glasses. After they are finished, they begin to put the glasses to their lips, and then as they sip, there were multiple spit takes realizing that it was wine. Rizzo just kept on drinking.
"How come your used to it Rizz?" Jan asked. Rizzo shrugged and continued to watch the movie.
Over halfway through the movie, Jan had crashed, signaling the others to call it a night as well. They turned the television off and then crawl into bed. Franny bids them goodnight and snuggles in her sleeping bag sighing contently. Rizzo lies down in Marty's bed while Marty turns off the lights.
"Hey Rizz?" Marty asked in a whisper, "I can't believe tomorrow we're going to be leaving Wellson and go to Rydell in September."
Rizzo just smiles that she finally leaves the middle school and will rule with her friends at Rydell. "I can't wait," she says a little sarcastic and then closes her eyes.
