The next day the storm didn't let up. The power was out and school was cancelled.

Velma had spent most of the day in her room. Even with the storm, her parents weren't home. She had gotten up and gotten dressed in a black skirt that was well cut, tasteful, but alittle north of the knee, and a black blouse and a little black ribbon tied up her red hair. She looked around her room. It was a child's room.Porcelen dolls filling up shelfs. Glass faces hung on the wall, stuffed animals on a queen sized bed. A Vanity and dresser covered in Ivory figurines. Her parents didn't seem to know that she was a teenager. Every year for her birthday and on Christmas, she always got lots of presents, but they were child's books, and porcelen dolls. Her parents probably still thought she was 5, probably because thats how old she was the last time they checked. One of the things that made it look not so childish was a poster of Bela Lugosi on the wall by her vanity.

Around 8, She had 5 candles lit in her bedroom and was laying in the center of her bed, when she heard muffled voices from the floor below. She sat up and made her way into the hall and very quietly went down the stairs. She still couldn't make out the voices. There were no candles downstairs, but she could of sworn she just seen a small light go off and everything felt silent. She wished she had a candle. As she stood, contemplating going back to her bedroom and lock her door, she felt an arm grab her by the waist and a hand go over her mouth and was pulled back into someone. The person loosened their grip and both hands were around her waist and he was laughed abit. Someone infront of his turned on a flashlight.

"Hope we didn't scare ya too much..." Two- Bit laughed and waved the flashlight around the room. All of the guys were there. Steve turned on another flashlight, as did Dally. Ponyboy, Johnny and Darry were sitting on the sofa. Soda still had his arms around her, laughing. She tryed to stop shaking. When she got her voice back, she asked, " How did you's get in?"

"Front door was unlocked.." Steve said, but in truth, Dally picked the lock.

"Why are you guys here?" She asked.

"We wanted to show you what Greasers do on Friday the 13th." Soda answered, still standing behind her.

She was abit shocked by the answer," What...What do you mean?"

Dally smirked, " Means go get your shoes so we can get goin"

She hurried back up the stairs to her bed room and went over to her closet to pick out a pair of black heels..

" Glory! You know girls tend to re-decorate their rooms after they turn 8."

She turned around and noticed all of the guys comming into her room and looking around her room. "You a Bela Lugosi fan?" Panyboy asked, he sounded both surprised and amused at the same time.

Velma turned red and nodded, " Yes." She sat down on the edge of her bed and put on her shoes.

Sodapop started jumping on her bed, " Why the hell is your bed so big? You'd probably fit in a dresser."

She blushed again and stood up from the bed and blew out the candles. " Ready to go?" Dally asked her, stepping up behind her. She nodded and he dragged her down stairs, followed by the rest of guys.

She was shoved into the back seat of Dally's car between Steve and Two-Bit, while Johnny and Dally sat in the front. Pony, Soda and Darry took their truck. Dally was driving incredibly fast. Everything was a complete blur outside of the window, the rain didn't help either. She didn't know where she was after a few minutes of driving. So, she asked, " Um..Where are we going?" She didn't get an answer. After about 5 minutes, she noticed that the blurs disappeared. There were no more houses. The thunder got louder and a bold of lightning stuck. " W-where are we going?" she asked again, and once again no answer.

It was another several minutes before Dally started to slow down. She saw an old, abandoned building. Atleast 5 stories. The windows were boarded up. There were several cars parked outside. Dally parked his car and they waited untill the others parked beside them. They all got out and ran inside.

"What is this place?" Velma asked. Two-Bit, Steve and Dally turned on their flashlights and looked around. There was alot of noise comming from upstairs.

"Sorry. No socs can actually know where it is." Steve laughed.

"Yeah. Now, Usually it's Greasers only, " Soda grinned, " And even though since you moved to town you're like one of the richest socs in the West side...Two-Bit and Pony say you're decent"

They went up two flights of stairs and went down a hall into a large room. It was full of people, talking, laughing, drinking and smoking. She turned to go back down stairs...but Two-Bit grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back, " Hey, come on. We just got here." He pulled her in abit closer, " It'll be fine. Just...try not to get separated." He took her over to the rest of the gang, talking to a tough looking guy, standing next to Curly, who she met breifly afew days ago at lunch.

"Hey, Tim "

"Hey, Two- Bit, Whats that thing attached to your shoe? Oh! Wait, it's just a soc." Tim laughed and Velma wanted to disapprear.

"Leave her alone, Tim" Darry said.

"Alright, alright. Let's get a good look..." Tim reached forward and pulled Velma into the middle of the group. Tim circles like a vulture, then Two-Bit pulled her back.

Tim shrugged and they went back to talking.

They were there for atleast 3 hours. When they finally left, the rain had stopped and Dally wasn't driving as fast. Velma was tired. She was never up that late before. She was usually in bed by 9. She had fallen asleep on the drive home, curled up in Two-Bits arms...
