"Quit laughing you'll wake her up." Soda hissed to Two-Bit.
"I can't help it." Two-Bit replied but attempted to hold back his laughter.
"I don't think she is going to like this very much." Pony pointed out.
"So?" Steve asked shrugging.
"How did you find out its her birthday, anyway?" Johnny whispered.
" Found her wallet on the coffee table." Two-Bit said pulling it out of his pocket and taking an ID card out of it. "See, it has today's date on it."
Steve took the card and glanced at it quickly before throwing it in Two-Bit's face.
"Nice going meat head, it also says she is 21." Steve said rolling his eyes.
"I can't believe it, she has been lying to us the whole time!" Two-Bit hissed.
"Use your thick head,"Steve rolled his eyes "Dally has one just like it and he isn't 21. It a fake ID."
"So...this might not even be her real birthday?" Pony asked.
"Who cares...maybe we always missed her birthday, it will be like a...belated birthday present." Two-Bit said shrugging.
"Some present..."Johnny said under his breath.
The guys all froze as Tia rolled over on the couch in her sleep. She didn't bother changing when she slept, she had on jeans and a tanktop. Now with her back exposed to them, they could see the dark bruises which cover it from the rumble a week ago.
"Ready?" Soda asked.
"Wait!" Johnny hissed and pointed to the blades in her back pockets. "Dally told me that last time he woke her up, she almost slit his throat."
"Okay, okay, I'll get them." Soda said and crept towards her.
Five minutes later, he let out his breath and set the two blades on the coffee table.
"Now, are we ready?" Soda asked.
Two-Bit, Johnny, Steve and Ponyboy all gave short nods.
"Okay, on the count of three...one...two...three!" Soda said and they all lunged at her.

"Hello?" Dally and Darry called out as they opened the screen door.
"In the bathroom...we'll be out in one sec!" Soda yelled from behind the shut bathroom door.
"You're all in there?" Darry asked.
"Yep!" Pony called back.
The bathroom door opened and arguing could be heard.
"As soon as you untie me, your ass in mine Soda!" Tia yelled from inside the bathroom.
"Come see!" Two-Bit yelled happily.
Darry stuck his head in the bathroom and immediately started laughing his head off.
"What?" Dally asked and stuck his head in the bathroom too see what was so funny.
Tia was tied to a kitchen chair, her hair slicked back in complicated swirls and loops and by the look on her face, she didn't look too happy about it.
"There, now you look a real greaser." Dally said between laughs.
"Oh shove it." Tia growled as Dally doubled over laughing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"How do you guys get this stuff out of your hair?!" Tia yelled from the bathroom, she was shampooing her hair in the sink, trying to get the hair gel out.
"We don't!" Steve yelled back laughing.
When they heard the water shut off, Tia immerged from the bathroom, towel drying her hair.
"Well according to your ID card here, you just turned 22 today." Soda said holding up her card.
"14, 22...not that much of a difference." Tia replied shrugging.
"So today is your really birthday?" Dally asked.
"Yep." Tia replied.
She tossed the towel on the couch and proceeded to jump on Soda, pulling him off the chair. She took him by surprise and they both toppled onto the floor. She brought her right knee up and tried to pin his chest down. She succeeded and had him pinned down.
"Told you, your ass is mine." Tia pointed out laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, your right. Now would you get off of me, what would KJ say if he knew you were acting this way?" Soda teased.
"He would probably say served you right. It wasn't exactly fun waking up to 5 guys jumping on you and pulling you off the couch." Tia pointed out.
"Meh, I knew if one or two of us tried too, you would just break our necks then go back to sleep." Soda replied.
"Yeah, your probably right." Tia said laughing.
After lunch Dally spoke up.
"You ready for the rodeo tonight?" He asked Tia.
"Of course." Tia replied and added "Even though I didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked."
"Well you are going to need all the energy you have cause Buck has spred the word that you are going to be at the next rodeo. Loads of people are showing up tonight." Dally explained.
"Yeah, well I am just loads are comming to see 'Oh-great-and-mighty Dallas Winston' too." Tia teased.
"I can't help it." Two-Bit replied but attempted to hold back his laughter.
"I don't think she is going to like this very much." Pony pointed out.
