Kate: A new reviewer! Yay! I feel special that you include me in the original stories category, it means a lot. I do realize that Chicago and the clothing brand were not around in the 60s. When I was coming up with her name I wanted it to be something interesting. I saw someone wearing a Roxy shirt and my friend was singing All That Jazz and it just clicked, and at the time I didn't know what time I wanted to set the story, at the beginning it was supposed to be sort of modern day but I'm obsessed with pop culture so it's fun to write a story set in the 60s. I probably should go fix that but I think it gives her character. The compliment you gave me on my writing really made my day, I was smiling so much. Thanks for that. As for the possibility that the line about Little Women is foreshadowing I can't tell you, because it would spoil the story however I am impressed that you found that line, you're the first that has mentioned it. Good job. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Banana4422: I will always have a soft spot for Dallas (I thought about him today when I was in the car and the Cops theme song "Bad Boys" came on the radio so I was sitting there singing and I was like Dally! Not that good of a story but I thought it was funny, but then again I laugh at a lot of stupid stuff). I think his past is so sad; he will have to end up happy by the end of my story. And he is going to end up with somebody, I haven't really decided on who but it will be somebody. Thank you for the compliment and I hope you like this chapter just as much.

cutiepiepink angel: I like Soda too, especially in the movie. Sa-woon! As for Roxie ending up with him you'll have to wait and see.

Author's Note: Chapter six already? It seems like just yesterday I was starting this. How time flies. I'm sorry this chapter wasn't out sooner, not that I'm in a hurry, I don't want to rush it. I just wanted to let you know I didn't fall off the face of the earth because I haven't updated in like a week and I've been trying to be good about that. Any who, I am so excited, at the rate I'm going I might be able to finish this by the end of summer, which would be nice because the story ends in end of summer. It would be pretty cool if that would happen. I'll try my best to make that happen. This chapter is kind of short but the next one is already written and it is very long and if I do say so myself, it's very good. As usual I would like to thank my beta-reader babygurl33 because she's awesome and fixes my mistakes!

Warning: This chapter contains some language. I know my story hasn't really needed the T rating so far but now some characters are starting so swear so I just wanted to let y'all know. Can't say I didn't warn you!

This chapter is dedicated to everybody who has reviewed my story because you rock!

Chapter Six

"Aren't you excited Hun?" Aunt Candace asked me the next morning at breakfast.

I had spent the remainder of the day with the guys. Dallas actually grew on me, and he treated me better. I think that it had to do with the fact Johnny talked to him. Johnny seemed to be the only one who could get through to the boy. Whatever the reason he basically left me alone and he didn't swear which really surprised me, according to Ponyboy; Dallas Winston could have quite the dirty mouth. Dally intrigued me. I mean I liked all the guys, Steve could be short tempered sometimes and Darry was a little mean, but they were all wonderful, especially Soda and Ponyboy. However Dally's past made me forgive him for the way he acted and I rather liked him now that he was being civil with me.

"For what?" I asked glancing at her big wall calendar. It was the last week of June; I had officially been in Tulsa for two weeks. "The Forth of July? That's not for another week."

"Not the Forth silly. For the lunar eclipse!" my aunt said flipping the calendar to August. It would be happening a week before I went back home to Ohio. I shrugged.

"I don't know, I guess. I mean I've never seen one."

"You have never in your life seen a lunar eclipse?" Aunt Candy asked. I shook my head and she flung up her hands. "Good Lord child what have my brother and sister-in-law been doing to you? What kind of child has never seen a lunar eclipse?" I knew by now that Aunt Candace asked a lot of rhetorical questions so I merely shrugged and then went back to my waffles. "You'll have to see this one then. We'll have a big gathering with the girls, and the Curtis boys and their friends." Aunt Candace said grinning over her own plate.

"Sounds like fun." I said reading the comic section of the newspaper.

After showering and getting dressed Aunt Candy sent me out to the drugstore to pick up some shampoo for her. I had wanted to ask Ponyboy if he wanted to come but he was at the movies according to Soda who was hurrying off to the gas station, so I went alone. Greaser territory usually isn't very safe to walk in but since I knew some of the toughest guys in the neighborhood I was usually left alone. Aunt Candace had the money to live in the Soc side of town but she told me she didn't want to, the house, although it was in the rough part of town, was her home. And besides, from what I gathered money wasn't the only thing that separated the Socs from the Greasers. Greasers were more passionate while Socs were impersonal. If my Aunt Candy was anything it was passionate.

As I entered the drugstore I noticed Trisha was working the register. She didn't acknowledge my presence so I didn't acknowledge hers. I wished that Olivia was there but her boyfriend Mike was visiting. He played minor league baseball so she hardly ever got to see him. I didn't really care that Trisha was ignoring me; I would rather have had her ignore me than make comments on the way I looked. I got Aunt Candace's shampoo in addition to a paperback novel and a Hershey bar for myself.

Trisha nodded to me as she rang me up, punching the register keys with her long red fingernails. As she was doing that two girls walked in, I vaguely knew them as Steve and Soda's girlfriends Evie and Sandy. I had only heard about them but from what I could tell it was them. Evie was like all the other Greaser girls, wearing a short skirt and too much makeup. Sandy looked decent and a little nicer; I figured she would have to be if she was going out with Sodapop. They vanished behind the magazine stand but I could hear them talking.

"Isn't that, that girl Soda was talking about?" Sandy asked.

"Yea. But the guys didn't say she was so gross looking." Evie answered. I felt my cheeks flushed and forced myself not look at Trisha, this would just be another thing she could make fun of me for.

"She isn't that bad looking. It's just her hair is such a weird color and it's really frizzy." Sandy said. I bit my lip and bounced on the balls of my feet trying not to cry.

"And she's so pale, she really needs to wear blush!" Evie said. The two girls emerged from behind the magazine rack and nodded to Trisha before walking out. Trisha handed me my bag and I forced myself to look at her. She wore a solemn expression and looked at me like she had never looked at me before.

"Come with me." She said in a soft voice. She went and told the other drug store worker that she was leaving and then led me to the beat up VW bus.

Five minutes later we arrived at what I assumed was the house that she shared with Olivia. It was small and beat-up looking and there were weeds in the yard but it was still somewhat decent. I followed her up the steps and into the house. She threw her bag down on a chair in the living room and stood there, studying me.

"The world is chalk full of bitchy girls," was all she said.

The next chapter should be out sometime this week considering it just needs to be touched up a little.
