Rachel nodded, sighed and walked out of the office. She headed
outside and ran into the Gang. Well, the part of the gang that was in
school.
"What happened, Rache?" Pony asked.
"Dani got into trouble." She responded.
"Why'd they call you?" Two-bit asked her.
"'Cause I told 'em to." Rachel answered. "If they call Darry again he'll probably get fired." Two-bit nodded and Rachel left.
Fifteen minutes later, Rachel arrived at Dani's school. She went into the office and saw Dani sitting there, looking down. Rachel worked over to her.
"Hey, kid, what happened?" She asked. Dani looked up.
"I-I-I," she sighed. "I cursed at Billy." Rachel sighed.
"Again?! Why?!"
"'Cause he thinks he's the king of the world and he thinks he can boss me around!" Dani told Rachel.
"But this happened just yesterday! You got suspended! Didn't you realize that if you did it again you'd get suspended again?" Dani shrugged.
"I'm sorry." She looked down beginning to cry. Rachel picked her up.
"Don't cry, baby, don't cry." She soothed.
"I can't help it!" Dani cried. Rachel put her back down.
"Look, I got to go talk to your principle. I'll be right out. Don't cry."
Rachel went up to the secretary.
"I'm Rachel Curtis."
"Ah, yes." The secretary said. "Go right in." Rachel nodded and walked in. When she did, Mrs. Reilly looked up.
"Hi, Rachel." She greeted. "Have a seat." Rachel did so.
"We had the same problem today with Dani as we did yesterday. We're going to take the same measures as we did yesterday, but if this continues, we're going to have to try something else." Rachel nodded. She stood up, thanked Mrs. Reilly, said bye to her and left. She went to Dani.
"C'mon, let's go." She told her. Dani nodded and got up. They had both missed lunch so they went to the Dingo.
"Dani," Rachel began after they had ordered. "You can't keep doing this. This had better be the last time any one in the gang catches you cursing."
"I'm sorry. Am I in trouble?" Rachel resisted the famous 'are you sorry you did it, or are you sorry you got caught?'
"Well, last time this happened, and you didn't get in trouble, it happened again the next day. So we tried it your way and it didn't work. So yes, you are in trouble."
"How much trouble?"
"I don't know I haven't decided yet."
"Are you gonna decide on your own or with Darry, Soda and Pony?"
"Probably with them." Dani sighed.
"Look, kido, I understand. But if you start to curse it could get you into real trouble one day." Rachel explained.
"But you curse." Dani said. "How come you can and I can't?"
"Well..." Rachel didn't want to tell Dani about the Socs yet. "I'll explain it when you're older." Dani just sighed.
That night, Rachel, Darry, Soda and Pony were discussing Dani's punishment.
"The only thing I can think of for a six year old, is no TV or no dessert for a certain amount of time," Rachel was saying. "But being a Curtis, no dessert is way too cruel."
"Yeah," Soda said. "I guess that means no TV."
"How long?" Pony asked.
"A week?" Darry suggested. They all agreed on a week. They called Dani out, told her the punishment, explained to her that her actions have consequences, and eventually they all went to bed.
Eh, not my best. Oh well. Thank you to all the reviewers and I'm sorry I'm too lazy to thank you individually at the moment.
But here's a preview to the next chapter (which I haven't begun to write yet.): Two words: Dani, Socs. It's up to you to guess how she gets in the hands of the Socs. Review what you think and the person to get closest to what happens (or if I get something that's even better than what I have and I decide to use it,) I'll use that person's name for a future character in the story. Good Luck!
