Chapter 12
Now De's better (Well a little bit), we've started getting to know her again, she's was down stairs with Two-Bit and Johnny watching Mickey Mouse, so that's something we have in common and when Pony, Me Luce and everyone came home or round for food we changed the channel much to Two-Bits protest to the only English channel we get, it shows all old soaps and comedy programs. So we found out that De likes English comedy like Luce and me, we sat through all of comedy night, it was great, we watched 'Dad's Army', 'Morecambe and Wise', and 'The Army Game' we watched really old episodes of 'The Artful Dodger' and then we put on ABC and watched 'The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet', 'The Munster's' and 'The Dick Van Dyke Show'. I don't think we stopped laughing for ages.
We're trying to get her obsessed with 'Coronation Street'. Luce and I always watch it, one time Darry was sat 'Reading the paper' but when the big secret was revealed, there was a sudden gasp. It wasn't me and Luce, it wasn't Soda who had fallen asleep with his head on Luce's lap. Two-Bit had gone and Steve had gone home. Pony and Johnny were out with Dally, I would be with them but I wanted to watch it. Luce and I turned to look at Darry and burst out laughing. It was funny, Darry looked at us and laughed, 'Guess you got me hooked'.
Luce was at work tonight, singing, me, Soda, De, Pony and Darry was at home, she finished her set and was walking home, she should have gotten a lift the bands drummer, but that's not the point here. There were three things wrong:
She's the girlfriend of a well known Greaser.
She didn't bother to change out of her stage costume. (A corset fitted dress with big puffy skirt in black, very inconspicuous)
The last and she should have known better, she was walking alone through the back streets.
Well no wonder the Soc's got her, how do you know you're probably asking. Well I can say that I didn't do the sisterly thing. I had snuck out again, I was going to meet Tim's sister and brother we were going to annoy some Soc's. (You know typical tricks, nicking hood caps, bikes, destroying gardens and spraying tags, I'm good at tagging and setting off car alarms).So I was nearly there going through the park when I saw them, they had Luce surrounded, normally I would have gone for help or gone charging in. problem was I was already grounded and sneaking out with Sheppard's to antagonise Soc's well…
I didn't do anything I watched as Luce got slapped, I made sure to remember that bastard's face I was gunna get him for that. Anyway they pushed her in the fountains, she was drenched. The Soc's left and she carried on walking home. I ran to Sheppard's place told them what happened and then ran home again I ran inside totally forgetting that I had snuck out and was totally grounded. (So I don't think sometimes, Darry says am like Pony, I got brains but I forget them when am in a fizz, I laughed and said it was my age).
Luce had changed and was laid out on the sofa with Soda. Darry was in bed and I guessed Pony was asleep at the time. Luce demanded to know where I'd been, she said I was even more grounded, so I said I would tell Soda (he was asleep) that she had walked home in the dark and alone. I was sworn to secrecy. I told Pony, he was awake when I went upstairs, he scared me half to death when he sat up in my bed, I forgot he was gunna be there De had his room, he asked me what had happened, so I told him.
I've done my research for this revised version of my story, I got a review about it which got me thinking, so I spent hours looking up comedies from the U.K and U.S.A that were airing in the 1960's.
