After we drop off Pony and Johnny at school Darry drops Soda, Two, and I at the we arrive at the DX the owner Peter says that he will pay me if I work the cashier counter since they are short staffed today. I obviously say yes and he says to go to his office if I plan on leaving and he will pay me.

During Sodas break he comes in and sits behind the counter.

"Hey Mel I know we have not talk since this morning but I want you to know that I always knew you and Dally would be together I guess it was some sort of twin thing but I will be very mad if he hurts you in anyway because you are my sister and I really care for you and will support you in everything you choose to do"

"Aww thanks Soda you're the best twin I have"

"Thanks Mel…AWW man Mel I'm your only twin"

"Haha I knew I could fool you"

"Your soooo sweet Mel"

"Tell me something I don't know; actually ya know what I think I am gonna call Dally I have been here for 3 hours and I have to clean up the house before all the guys get there for dinner"

"Ok see ya Mel; Don't do anything I would do" Soda giggles and walks away back to the Gas Pumps.

I yell to him " Well that doesn't leave much for me to do"

I walk into Peters office to call Dally.

"Hey Peter would it be ok if I called my boyfriend to come pick me up I have important things to do at home"

" Of course you can I am going out for a bit so I will give Soda your payment and there is a job opening and I would love for you to take it; I know you are busy at home so I am allowing you to choose your hours"

"Thanks Peter I will have to think about it and ask Darry "

Peter walks out and I go over to the phones and dial the number to Bucks"

"Hello"

" Hi can I speak with Dallas Winston this is his girlfriend calling Melody Curtis"

"Oh hello Melody of course let me go and get him right now"

"Ok thank you Buck"

I wait for a little while and then

"Hello" I hear Dally in his tired raspy voice which I find kid of sexy.

" Hey Dal will you pick me up from the DX"

"Yeah sure give me 5 minutes and I will be there"

"Thanks Dal you're the best"

" I know I know"

"Bye"

"Bye Mel"

I walk out of the store and talk to Soda and Two .

"So Two you and Angela "

"I already told you Mel"

"I know but what about the rest of the guys"

"Wait what about you and Angela Two?" Sodapop says very confused

"Ugh thanks Mel did you have too"

"Um yeah you are my Best Friend"

"Fine, Ok Soda don't tell anyone else yet only Dally and Mel know but I am dating Angela now"

"AWW really man now all my friends are going out with someone now you guys will be going out on double dates and I'll just be sittin at home all alone"

"Sorry Soda we still love you though"

"Aww thanks Mel Love ya too but by any chance do you guys got any single friends"

Two and I share a glance and turn and nod our heads and turn to Soda.

"We might have someone for you" I say kind of mysteriously.

"Really!" Soda says this like a little boy that just heard great new. I swear sometimes he is like a child but I mean that make life more fun .

"Yeah we are going to the Rodeo Friday for Dally and I will invite her to go"

"Really that's great !"

I see Dally's truck and tell the guys that I have to go. I go up to his truck and lift myself up into it.

"Hey Mel"

"Hey Dal"

"How was The DX"

"Great actually Peter Offered me a job"

"Cool but will this interfere with our time together"

"No no actually he said I can choose my hours because he know that I am really busy; but I still have to Darry and get his ok"

"Well as long as I can still spend time with you I'm all good; by the way are you going to go to the rodeo on Friday"

" Yep I wouldn't miss it plus I am inviting my friend Shirley to meet Soda because all the people that he usual hangs out with are all dating someone so Two and I decided to set them up"

"Well that's awesome!"

"Hey can you drop me off at my house real quick to get some money and then do you want to head to the super market with me I have to get some ingredients for dinner"

" Of Course ; What's for Dinner"

"Thanks; and who said you were allowed to join"

"I figured since you usually have the guys over for dinner that I would go today"

"I was just kiddin' Dal you are allows invited over all the guys are when you need food I am here for you"

"Really Mel why do you always have to joke around with me"

"Well maybe because this whole gang takes things so literally"

"Just go get the money and lets go"

I get of the car and go in to the house to get some money. I love how I can fool all the boys they are so gullible its funny I mean I did that twice in one day. The fact that Dally was slightly irritated was actually a plus because he was fine with it. I'm actually starting to enjoy my life again after all that has happened in the last couple years.
