Disclaimer: Hey, this is BleuCade. I'm really sorry about the shortness to this chapter but it's the best I can come up with at the moment. ARG I WISH MY LIFE WASN'T SO GOSH DARN BUSY! LOL enough of my whining, here's chapter 3. Immortal Soul and I only own Shelly and Stargirl.

Chapter 3

            I linked my arm in Two-Bit's like Stargirl did to Ponyboy. He grinned a ravishing smile down at me (I'm a little short-shut up!) and I almost melted against him.

            I turned to Stargirl and winked, and she smiled back.

            "So," I said, "What do you guys do for fun around here?"

            "We do a lot of things. Movies at the Nightly Double, getting drunk at Buck's, the Dingo is a pretty tuff hangout, getting drunk at Buck's, trashing Soc cars in The Way Out parking lot, and getting drunk at Buck's."

            "So it's safe to say your favorite thing to do is getting drunk at Buck's?" I smiled.

            Two-Bit laughed and I smiled wider, just listening to his laugh. I loved it. It sounded so strong, yet so childish. In a good way.

            "Yup, it is!" he replied, and squeezed my arm in his.

            "Hey, why don't we all take Michelle and Stargirl to the Nightly Double tonight?" Dally asked, lighting up a cigarette.

            "That sounds fun!" Stargirl exclaimed, "I love movies! Especially interesting ones where I can pretend I'm in the movie along with the actors."

            Ponyboy beamed and looked into Stargirl's eyes. I guess he liked to do that too. Maybe the only greaser who really got into movies; all the rest of them didn't seem the philosophical type.

            "Yeah, alright," Two-Bit said slowly, "Let's have like, a double date night, but with more people."

            "Cool!" Soda replied, "I'll bring Sandy!"

            "Bleu is my date," Dally replied casually, winking at Johnny. Johnny responded with a grin.

            Steve's face darkened. "Evie is grounded, so count me out."

            Johnny gave Steve a small smile. "Wanna hang out then, Steve?"

            Steve nodded and inhaled his cigarette.

            Two-Bit cast me a sly grin. "You wanna be my date?"

            I could have sworn if my mouth were open my stomach would have jumped out. I swallowed and smiled. "Yeah, of course!"

            I saw Ponyboy blush as he talked quietly to Stargirl. She suddenly squealed with delight and wrapped her arms around him.

            "Ooh, Pony's in loooove," Sodapop grinned wildly, and then changed the subject. "Ok, so Johnny, Steve and Darry are out?"

            "Why isn't Darry coming?" I acted naïve, but I really knew he was working. Soda told me just that and I nodded.

            "So," Dally rubbed his hands together, "I'm going to with Johnny to his house to hang out with Bleu. Wait for us to go to the movie at the Curtis', alright?"

            "Ok, Dal. Later," we waved goodbye to the pair as they walked off.

            Suddenly a pickup truck pulled along side us and a distraught Darry poked his head out of the window. "Soda, Pony," Darry said grimly, "I've got some bad news."
