Hey hey! I know this chapter is kind of short but I wanted to cut it off there. I am guessing there will probably be 2 or 3 more chapters after this one so don't worry, I won't leave you wondering what happened. Enjoy, read and review.

As the last of the Soc's cars' lights dissappeared around the corner, Tia let out the breath she had been holding in her chest. It was finally over, they had won. She went to take another deep breath but went off onto another coughing spree. She rested her hands on her knees and tried to catch her breath, she felt a comforting hand on her back. She turned her head to meet KJ's concerned eyes.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah." Tia replied "Thanks for helping me out back there, I thought they were going to snap me in two."
"No problem." KJ replied then added with a playfull grin "I was getting bored anyway, need some action."
Once Tia could breath properly again, she walked with KJ back over to her group. They were all bloody, bruised and out of breath. Pony was the one who looked the worst, he looked like he had gone through a meet grinder. The other boys were hurt but looked like they would be fine in a few days. Darry only had a couple scratches on him. Tias shoulder felt like it was on fire, just the weight of her arm seemed unbearable. She placed her hand on her opposite shoulder which help the pain slightly.
"You okay." Dally asked coming up beside Tia.
"Yeah." Tia replied despite the nagging pain in her shoulder. "You?"
"Of course." Dally replied with his reckless grin.
"Your lopsidded." Two-Bit pointed out coming up beside Tia.
"Huh?" She asked assuming Two-Bit was drunk and talking nonsense.
"You, one shoulder is lower then the other." Two-bit replied.
"Yeah, Pauly-whats-his-face desided to use it as target practice." Tia explained.
"Can you move it? KJ asked looking at her shoulder which looked square instead of round.
"Not really." Tia replied shurgging.
"Probably dislocated it." Dally replied calmly.
"Hey Pony!" Tia called out, wanting to change the subject "You okay?"
She had been watching him from where she was standing, he look of being dazed and confused. Darry was looking at him with concern too.
"Yep." He replied with a short nod.
"Why don't you guys go clean up then meet us back at Buck's for some partying." Tim spoke up joining them.
They agreed to meet at Buck's later, even though Darry didn't really want to go. He didn't want Pony to go either but after much debating, he finally gave in. So they parted with Shepards outfit and the Brumly boys and headed back towards the house.

"Tia, you can't go to the party with your shoulder out of its socket." Soda protested as she washed her face with her one good arm.
'Why the hell not?" Tia asked drying off her face.
Soda just rolled his eyes at her.
"You know by the looks of your face, if I hadn't seen you fighting, I never would have believed it." Two-Bit pointed out
Tia just shrugged, he was right, she hadn't gotten one hit to the face. Most of them had been aimed at her back, unfortuntely.
"C'mon, you scared it will hurt too much?" Steve shot at her.
"No." She replied and sat down on the couch beside Soda "Do it and get it over with."
"Ummm, k." Soda said slowly "This is going to hurt quite a bit though."
Five minutes passed before they were ready. Tia sat on the couch, Dally and KJ sat beside her ready to brace her incase if they had to.
"Ready?" Soda asked, gingerly taking her arm.
Tia nodded and kept eye contact with Dally who was sitting in front of her. Soda clenched his jaw as he proceed to put her shoulder back into place. When Dally and KJ felt Tia tense, they made sure to keep a firm hold of her so she couldn't move. Tia bit down on her lip as she broke out in a cold sweat, but didn't break eye contact with Dally. Watching Tia take so much pain stung Dally's heart but not one did she cry out or shed a tear.
She felt something move in her shoulder and the pain began to fade. She let out her breath and Soda released her.
"Y'all right?" Dally asked carefully.
"Of course." Tia replied with a tired smile.
She fell back onto KJ who pushed a piece of stray hair away from her face. Tia smiled, relieved the worst of the pain was gone, even though she smarted all over, it wasn't unbearable. She glanced around the room to see if everyone else was ready. Johnny and Pony were sitting on the other couch watching them.
"You look like you are dead on your feet." Tia commented to Pony.
"I'll be alright." Pony replied with a small smile.
"You ready to party?" Tia asked Johnny.
"Sure am." He replied.
"Lets go then." Dally spoke up getting off the couch.
The greasers left the house once more that night, this time with less excitement and anxiety. Instead they walked slowly and proud. Because this night, was for them, they had bet the cocky Socs. Even though, it would all be the same the next day. The Socs would still be the ones with all the money and possiblities, the greasers would still be middle class and underpriviledge. But not tonight, tonight was theres, the greasers ruled the town, no one could bring them down.
