Tyler rolled her eyes at what Dally said to her. She didn't need to be in no rumble. She could be even if she was a girl, but she chose not to be. It was better to keep things at Peace then to have chaos all over the place and blood everywhere. Neeghhh. She walked up the porch steps and inside the house, taking her place next to Asia.
"Everything alright?" Asia asked her. Tyler nodded.
"Everything's fine." she responded to her question. Moments passed before Asia continued,
"Those socs, they gave me a warning." Tyler turned her head quickly to Asia. When it came to stuff like that it was never good.
"What'd they say?" she asked keeping her voice low. Asia seemed to fidget a little before spitting out,
"They said...they said that bitch needs to watch her back cause she has something coming to her. Tyler please be careful. Your temper is getting you into bad places." Asia frowned a crease forming in her forehead. Tyler wrapped an arm around Asia's shoulder.
"Dont you worry. I can kick their asses. They can't get to me." Asia only frowned but she nodded. She didn't want to start an argument with Tyler. That night they fell asleep, Asia feeling uneasy and Tyler on edge.
The Next Day
The next day Two-bit, Tyler and Asia were walking around town. Two-bit's arm was wrapped around Asia's shoulders and Tyler kept sending Asia glances that said "You got a new booyyfrieennd". Asia rolled her eyes but would laugh at Two-bit's jokes, and blush at his compliments.
"You look pretty in that outfit darlin'." he complimented ruffling her hair, making Asia whine.
"My haaaaiiir." she whined and laughed. Two-bit grinned and the trio kept walking down the street. As the two kept walking, Tyler kept looking around, observing the area they were in. In case of lookout for those stupid socs. But something caught her eye. Or someone. He had long hair, baggy tee shirt and baggy pants. And he looked pale. It looked like-
"Jeremy?" Tyler said outloud squinting her eyes trying to see closer from across the street. Tyler took a step closer, knowing for sure it was Jeremy, but a hand pulled her collar back, saving her from an oncoming car.
"Woah girl. What are you tryin' to do, walk out into traffic?" Two-bit said with a smirk like smile before turning around and wrapping his arm back around Asia. Tyler turned her head back but saw that 'Jeremy' wasn't there. Was she going crazy? Was she imagining things? What the fuck was going on? She skipped up to Asia's side and whispered,
"Asia I saw Jeremy!" Asia swerved her head to Tyler and gave her a crazy look.
"What are you talking about? Jeremy isn't here. We're in the sixties." she said. Tyler shook her head and adjusted her glasses.
"No I sware-"
"tyler it's okay. I'm sure it was just someone who looked like Jeremy or something. C'mon we're all headed to the Dairy Queen. Maybe it'll take your mind off things." she said, making Tyler huff and follow behind her best friend.
Dairy Queen
Arriving at Dairy Queen, Asia, Tyler and Two-bit took their seat at a corner booth. The waiter took their order; Two-bit ordered a chocolate sundae, Asia ordered a vanilla cone and Tyler ordered a caramel sundae. After about eight minutes their orders arrived and they were all eating. Asia looked over at Tyler who was zoning over her sundae.
"You okay?" Asia asked snapping Tyler out of her trance.
"Hmm...Oh yeah, I'm fine," Tyler replied.
"Still thinking you saw Jeremy?" Asia said nudging Tyler gently. Tyler looked over at her and only nodded.
"I swear it was him."
Before Asia could reply, Two-bit got up, "I'll be right back ladies," he said walking off to a blonde broad. You could tell that he was flirting with her. Ass! Asia looked down quickly and continued to eat her cone. Tyler saw that her friend was upset, so she wrapped her arm around Asia's shoulders, giving her a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry about Two-bit, hun," Tyler said to her best friend, "He's a guy. He's going to flirt with anything that has breasts."
That made Asia chuckle softly, "It still sucks though. I'm sitting here thinking he likes me and then he goes off and flirts with some blonde bimbo."
"Want me to kick his ass for you?" Tyler asked seriously, hating seeing her sister hurt.
"No, don't do that. You're hand is still healing, remember."
"Then, let's do this, we'll tell Two-bit that we want to go explore a little bit on our own. We'll have a girl's night, just the two us," Tyler suggested.
Asia nodded in agreement. A few minutes later they were telling Two-bit their plans for the rest of the night. Two-bit hesitatly agreed to let them go. He gave them a few bucks for the drive-in. After that, they were heading their seperate ways.
Later that day
The girls explored town throughout the day. They got the occassional stare from a group of greaser boys or whistle from soc boys from their cars, but other than that, their day was going great so far. They hadn't gotten into any rumbles, fights or spats. And they hadn't run into anyone else of the gang. But that was the least of their worries.
It was almost sunset and they ended up at the nearby park by Ponyboy's house. Both of them were swinging on the swings, talking and having a good time.
"Do you think we'll ever get back home?" Asia asked as she lazily swung on her swing, dragging her feet across the rocks. Tyler shrugged but she wondered the same thing.
"I'm not sure. We might, maybe we wont. I dont know." Asia only frowned and looked up at the sunset which was starting to get darker and darker. They should've been heading home by now because the boys will wonder where they'd be at this hour. Maybe they wouldn't. Too many things ran through Asia's mind at once.
"Daaaddddy noooo!" Asia said, giggling afterwards. Tyler burst out into giggles as they started to swing.
"Let's see who can swing the highest. On your mark, get set, go!" the two girls swung and swung until both of them were high in the air at the same level.
"That's not really fair. We're both the same level in the air." Asia said sticking her tongue out at Tyler. Tyler laughed.
"Then it's a tie." she said continuing to swing. By now the stars were out and it had gotten a little chilly outside, but not that it mattered to them. They were having the time of their lives. Asia smiled and she silently counted to three before jumping off the swing and landing hard on the ground with a thud.
"Ouch." she said carefully walking in baby steps. Tyler shook her head at her before slowing her swing down and getting off the swing.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Yeah. just never jump off a swing that high." Tyler rolled her eyes.
"Well duh." she said and they both laughed. Tyler linked arms with her bestie and said to her with a bright smile.
"C'mon let's go home before the guys go out on a man hunt to look for us or something." the girls yet again shared another laugh and they went back to Pony's house, singing songs such as: "Follow the Yellow Brick Road", "You're falling for a Douchebag" and much more.
