WHACK! " Ow! Not so hard, man."

Velma's eyes opened and she saw Steve and Sodapop arm wrestling at the coffee table.. Steve kept winning. She got up and immediately tripped over what turned out to be Two-Bit asleep on the floor. That was slightly confusing. Even after her tripping over him , he was still asleep. She felt a strong grip on her arm pulling her to her feet, she looked over and realized that it was Darry. She smiled and sat down in the kitchen

Atleast ten minutes later everyone was at the table. For breakfast they had eggs toast and for some reason Velma didn't understand was ( and didn't ask why ) that they had chocolate cake, too.

"Ok..you guys are going with me to that restaurant, right?" Velma asked.

"Yes." That had all said.

" And you know you need a tie and jacket to get into this place, right?"

" Yeah." That time it was only Darry, Johnny and Ponyboy.

"Don't worry." Darry said, taking a drink of his Coffee, "it'll be fine.." He told her, although not even believing himself.

"I'll try not to" She said, and exchanged weak smiles with Darry.

Darry, Sodapop and Steve went off to work and Two-Bit took Ponyboy and Velma to the movies and picked up Johnny along the way. They went to go see 'Lord of the Flies' .

Later, when Two-Bit was driving Velma home, She and Ponyboy were debating whether the book was better than the movie.

5:30 Velma stepped into the Curtis House wearing a long black dress, a red shawl and a string of pearls. She looked around with a sigh and thought, this is going to be a very long evening...

Darry, Ponyboy and Johnny all had on a nice clean shirt, with a neat tie and jacket. But Darry was trying to get Sodapop to sit still while he tied the tie. Steve was wearing an old red plaid over shirt which she had seen on him before, only it wasn't buttoned up, and his tie wasn't done properly and the Jacket was ripped at the elbows.Surprisingly, Dally wasn't too bad, his sleeves were rolled up and his tie wasn't up at the neck, but it was tied better that Steves. And then there was Two-Bit. He had on an old sports coat over one of his Micky Mouse shirts with a clip-on tie. Well... She thought to herself, Atleast he tried...

After they had gotten to the restaurant, Dally had to have ' a little chat ' with the greeter to let Two-Bit go in with that he was wearing. They had been seated at a table near the middle of the dining room and the waiter handed them their menus.They only looked at their menus for the few minutes, then made jokes till the waiter came back. They ordered and the waiter said it'd be about 20 minutes.

20 minutes later, Elvis was playing on the jukebox. " Man, I can't beleive it, We were then for 5 minutes and you get us banned." Darry said, shaking his head.

They were all sitting around a table at the Dingo, having hamburgers and fries.

"Hey! that place was so boring.." Soda said defending himself.

"Yeah, we had to do something.." Steve said with a shrug.

"Did that something Have to be flinging soggy pieced of bread at each other and at other tables?" Darry asked, rolling his eyes

" Yes! Of course." Soda was smiling

" What else was there to do?" Steve began to laugh.

"Besides, it' s not our fault that the fork stabbed that guy in the butt.."

"Yeah, it would of if his ass wasn't so big..."

" And the other guy really didn't have to get so upset...I mean, his date must of been blind not to realize that it was toupee."

" And that old lady with the wig?" Steve grinned.

Velma sighed .

"And that girl how was with this older guy.."

"Oh! Yeah, I don't know how we managed to pop the balloons she stuffed her bra with..."

"But that must of stung..."

"The Great thing is we never even left the table..."

"What can I say? I have perfect aim..."

While Soda, Steve and Two-Bit went on about their shenanigans, Velma looked out the window. She stayed quiet for the rest of the evening, feeling very tired. Even on the drive home, she stayed quiet.

Velma had slept in late on Sunday. She didn't get up untill 11:30. She had just put on a pair of jeans ( which she had forgotten she had) and a tight-fitting black t-shirt. Last night had to be the most embarrassing moment of her life, Yet Sodapop, Steve and Two-Bit thought it was hilarious.

She went down into the kitchen around 6 and made herself a cup of tea. She went into the living room and was about to take a drink, when she heard knocking on the door. As she got up, the knocking sounded like someone was trying to replicate a song. She finally got to the door and opened it. It was Two-Bit. She kind of figured.

"Hey!" Two-Bit was grinning.

"Hi.." Velma tilted her head slightly

" Wanna go head out to the drive-in?" He asked her

"um...I'm not sure..." She said, directing her vision to the ground.

"Come on, they're playin 'Spooks Run Wild'..."

Velma looked up slightly with a small smile.

"I saw that poster in your room, I know you're a Bela Lugosi fan..." He grinned.

Velma bit her lip to keep herself from smiling.

"Hey, If you can use cheap shots on me, so I can use cheap shots on you." If she can use that puppy dog face on me, I can use Lugosi on her

Velma giggled, " Fine...Let me get my jacket..." She ran up stairs to get her coat. She ran back downstairs with her jacket and heels and headed to the car with Two-Bit.
