"Ready to go?" Pony asked Johnny coming out of his room.
They were going to meet Dally to go to the Nightly Double.
"Yeah, where's Tia?" Johnny asked.
"I am guessing with Dally." Pony said heading for door.
Tia was rarely around the house, she was like Soda, she hated sitting still, it drove her crazy. She was usually pretty easy to find too, she was either with the gang, Dally, KJ, or Lisa.
Sure enough they found Tia and Dally play fighting under a street light on the corner of Pickett and Sutton.
"Hey guys!" Tia said once Dally let her out of a head lock.
"Told ya you can't get out of my headlocks." Dally teased Tia.
"I could have, I just didn't want to hurt you." Tia said smirking.
They were early so they went to the drug store in the shopping center to goof around. They bought some cokes and blew straws at the waitresses. They walked around eyeing things that were lying out in the open until the manager got wise to them and suggested they leave.
Dally walked out with two packages of Kools under his jacket. Tia only managed to get one.
"Oh don't gloat, its because you have a bigger jacket." Tia told Dally who was eyeing her one pack.
They went across the street and down Sutton a little way to the Dingo. They walked round talking to all of the Greasers and Hoods they knew, leaning in car windows or hopping into the backseat and getting in on all of the news. There was a pretty good fight between a big 23 year old Greaser and a Mexican hitchhiker. They left when switch blades came out.
They crossed Sutton and cut around behind Spencers Special and chased two kids across a field for a few minutes. Since it was dark enough, they hopped over the back fence of the Nightly Double. They went to the rows of seats in front of the concession stand to sit down.
Two girls were sitting down in from and Dally was eyeing them but glanced at Tia next to him and thought better.
"Oh don't look at me like that Dallas, I ain't your mother. If you want to go bug the girls, go right ahead, I have probably heard worse." Tia told Dally laughing.
Dally smiled and walked down the aisle and sat right behind the girls. He started talking loud enough for the two girls to here. He started out bad and got worse. Ponys ears grew hot. Johnny left to get a coke. Tia had her hand clapped over her mouth, trying not to laugh too hard.
The red head was getting mad or scared. She sat up straight and she was chewing hard on her gum. The other one pretended not to hear Dally. Dally was getting impatient. He put his feet on the back of the redheads chair, winked Tia and Pony and beat his own record for saying something dirty.
The girl turned around and gave him a cool stare.
"Take your feet off my chair and shut your trap." She said firmly.
"Who's gonna make me?" Dally challenged. "I know you two. I've seen you around the rodeos, the legal ones that is."
"Its a shame you can't ride bull half as good as you can talk it." The red head snapped and turned back around.
"You two barrel race, huh?" Dally asked.
"You'd better leave us alone, or I'll call the cops." The girl said.
"Oh my, my, you've got me scared to death. You ought to see my record sometimes, baby. Guess what I've been in for?" Dally said with a sly smile.
"Why don't you be nice and leave us alone?" The girl pleaded.
"I'm never nice, want a coke?" Dally asked.
"I wouldn't drink it if I was starving in the desert." The girl shot back "Get lost hood!"
Dally shrugged and got up. Tia looked up to see if he wanted her to follow him but he shook his head and strolled off. Dally came back soon after with an arm full of cokes.
"That might cool you off." Dally told the red head.
She just glared at him then threw the pop in his face.
"That might cool you off Greaser! After you wash your mouth and learn to talk and act decent, I might cool off too." She told him.
"Fiery, huh? Well thats the way I like 'em." Dally said and started to put his arm around her but Johnny reached over and stopped him.
"Leave her alone, Dally." Johnny said.
"Huh?" Dally stared at Johnny.
"You heard me. Leave her alone." Johnny said firmly.
Dally stopped and scowled. Tia wasn't going to take this, she didn't like these prissy Socs.
"Looks like poor miss Soc can't even stand up for herself." Tia taunted.
"I see that you are almost as polite as your boyfriend." The red head replied.
"I've seen you around the rodeos too but barrel racing is for whimps." Tia said ignoring the girls comment.
"That right, I forgot, he isn't your boyfriend. I've heard about you, you live with a bunch of guys like him, you must choose a different one every night." The girl replied.
"Why you little..." Tia hissed and let out a few chosen names.
She shot out of her chair and made for the red head but Dally climbed out of his seat she stalked off, catching Tia around the waist and dragging her along with him.
