Dally continued speaking, and said "It was a liquor store right? I almost got a job there one time, but then I sorta broke my ribs, and forgot about it." "Yeah, he got killed when there was a shooting nearby and a stray bullet went through the window, then hit him. Then people raided the store and just grabbed all the beer." Dally looked like he was sorry for bringing the topic up. "I'm sorry about that." "It's ok," Angel said softly. Dally thought for a minute. "There was a girl there when I went to get a job application, the one I never gave in, but she was a blonde. Who was she?" "That was me. I had my hair dyed blonde before he died, afterwards I just let it grow back to its natural color." "Oh," Dally looked at Angel while her head was bent over her plate. She had green eyes that seemed to entrance him, and he couldn't look away even though Angel was looking up again. She blushed slightly, but Dally's face turned a bright shade of red.

Dally's heart was beating at a very fast rate, and he wanted nothing more than to kiss her at the moment. He leaned in towards Angel…………….then the door burst open. Johnny realized what was happening, and quickly closed it. Angel knew that Dally wanted to kiss her, but she wasn't ready for that…. yet. She pushed some food around on her plate and looked up at Dally again. She then realized that she did want him. She just needed time. Dally also realized it, but he couldn't stop himself. He kissed her gently, touching her face and running his fingers through her hair. Emotions were coursing through Angel's body and she found herself returning the kiss. When Angel did pull away, she found herself looking into Dally's eyes. The moment ended when Darry called "Dally, could you come out here for a minute?" "Coming," Dally said. He ran his fingers through Angel's hair one more time before he left the room, closing the door behind him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Dally?" Darry yelled as soon as he and dally were outside where Angel couldn't hear them. "Nothin'," Dally said ignoring Darry's anger. "The Socs were just pretty much molesting her and now your kissing her? What kinda sense does that make?" "She can decide for herself what she wants to do Darry. We were just kissing, I wasn't feeling her up or nothin', and if she didn't like it or didn't want it, she wouldn't have been returning the kiss, would she?" Dally yelled back. " Yeah well, this is my house Dally." "She ain't your girl though. So you can't tell me whether to kiss her or not."

Soda entered the bedroom. He looked at Angel's half-finished plate. "Not too hungry?" he asked. "Not really, my stomach kinda hurts." Angel answered. "OK, but Darry might try to make you eat some more," he said as Angel, yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Hey, you tired?" Angel nodded wearily. "Well, you can go to sleep now if you want, or you can come and sit by the TV with Two-Bit and watch something." "I think I'll go to sleep. And thanks," Angel said as Soda took her plate and left the room. Angel lay down and soon fell asleep.
