"Heavens To Betsey!"

Velma had waken up on a couch, from the sounds of a television. It was some cartoon that Velma didn't recognize. There was a Mouse, a Duck and a...dog? Was it supposed to be a dog? Anyway, she noticed that Two-Bit was sitting in front of the couch watching the cartoon.. She watched it too, for like five minutes. Then she looked around. Steve was sitting on a chair beside the couch and Darry was in the kitchen. She sighed and looked back at the T.v set, "Why can't you make out what the duck is saying?" She asked Two-Bit, how turned around quickly, not knowing that she was awake.

"I dunno...'cause he's a duck? besides, you can understand it if you listen carefully."

" Then how come you can understand the girl duck?"

" I don't know."

" Why did the duck wrap a towel around his waist when he got out of the tub, but he doesn't wear any pants?"

"I don't know! "

"What are you watching?"

"You don't know what this is?"Two- Bit sounded surprised, "You don't know what Micky Mouse is?"

Velma shook her head." Never heard of it before."

"Then what cartoons do you watch?"

"You know...Normal ones."

" This is Normal." Two-Bit sighed."What ones do you consider normal?"

"You know..." She sat up, "Loony Toons...Felix the Cat...Betty Boop...Roger Rabbit.."

"Ya know if you was alot taller, you'd look like Jessica Rabbit" Steve said with a nod.

Velma began to blush.

"Hey, Velma, " Darry called from the kitchen," You want some breakfast.

She shook her head, " No thank you..." She stood up, " Besides, I should head home..." She headed toward the door. Two-Bit jumped up, "Hey, you wanna drive home?"

"No thank you..I can walk.." She smiled and waves slightly, " Bye guys." She left the house and started to walk down the street.

Before she had gotten out of 'Greaser Territory', a car pulled up beside her and a tall, well -built Soc stepped out with a big smirk on his face, " Now...How about I give you a ride home?" He asked. Velma noticed there were 3 others in the car. She backed up abit, " Sorry..." She bit her lip, " I don't take rides in trash cans with garbage like you." He grabbed her and slammed her up against the car.

"Let me go!" She struggled trying to get free. He tryed to punch her, but she ducked and his fist went right though the window, and hit the guy inside. He yelled and withdrew his now cut up and bleeding hand. He tried to punch her with his good hand, but she ducked that one, too, and the guys hand went though the drivers side window. Velma pulled Mace out of her pocket and sprayed it in the guys eyes, then kneeed him in the privates (juvenile, yes, but it works in these types of situations). She got away and ran as fast as she could home.

Now, after pissing off 4 rather large Socs, she thought she would of been chased, or followed. But she wasn't. What she didn't know was that Tim Shepard and his gang had watched her, and that they had jumped the other guys as they got out to help their bleeding and temporarily- blind friend on the ground. While Curly went to the Curtis house to tell them what he just saw.

At about 4, Velma heard very loud pounding on the front door. "I'm coming, I'm coming.." She hurried down stairs and just as soon as she opened the door she was tackled to the ground by the force of an embrace. She heard alot of laughter and looked around, standing there was Ponyboy, Johnny, Dally and now sitting on top of her, was Two- Bit, with a very concerned looked on his face, " We heard what happened earlier, Are you ok? Did they hurt you?"

"um..Can...can you get off me please?" She asked quietly. He was really heavy.

"Oh!" Two- Bit stood up and helped her stand up, " So, are you ok?"

" I'm fine..really...Just alittle shaken up." She must sounded so sad when she said that because Two- Bit gave her a hug.

"We heard you kicked his ass.." Dally said with a smirk on his face.

"Well...He kinda kicked his own ass...for the most part.." She sighed, " I was just faster that he was..."

"Still pretty impressive." Dally shrugged.

"Um.." Velma wanted to change the subject, " Do..you guys want something to drink?" She walked off into the kitchen and they followed her. She had passed her parents in the hall, " Hi..mom..dad.." But they just ignored her and kept walking to the front door. She had a hurt and sad expression on her face and quickly hurried into the kitchen. The four boys stopped in the hallway for a moment and exchanged looked before they entered the kitchen " Velma.." Johnny said quietly.

She turned around and forced a smile, " Yes?"

Johnny just shook his head, " Nothing..."
