CHAPTER #3

SING SO GOOD IT'LL MAKE 'EM CRY.

Bubbles came to work with me that night and got the job. And my little plan worked. Yeah I had my ass pinched almost every two minutes, but that also meant another twenty to fifty bucks. It wasn't like I was selling myself on the streets. I have my limits and my self respect.

"I can't wait to get home tonight." Bubbles sighed as we sat down and began to count our 'tips'.

"Got a date or something?" Mr.Smith laughed sitting next to us with soda's in hand.

"Nah, nothing like that. We just get to hang out with the gang tonight is all." I smiled.

"Sounds like fun. What do kids like you do on the weekends for fun anyways?" Mr.Smith asked.

"Well usually we would practice. But this weekend we've got a gig." Bubbles smiled.

"So your in a band? Where you guys playing at?" Mr.Smith asked.

"The club just down the road. It's alright. We get paid if they like us." I said lighting a smoke and marking off something on a piece of paper.

"Yeah? Maybe i'll bring my wife and we'll watch you play." Mr.Smith said.

"Yay! We have a fan and he's never even heard us play." Bubbles squealed.

"You know, you really shouldn't smoke so much Mime." Mr.Smith said.

"Yeah I know. I've cut down alot since I moved here." I laughed.

"Yeah? That's a step in the right direction. I hear asian parents are pretty strict, let all of your parents let you move here. That's saying something." Mr.Smith laughed then got up to clean the back room.

There was a minutes silence as I stared at the cherry on my cigarette and just watched it burn.

"You okay Mime?" Bubbles asked in a voice unlike her own.

"I'm fine. Just...memories ya know?" I smiled weakly.

"Yeah, we all got 'em kid. That's why we left remember, and changed our names. To forget." Bubbles said then left to finish cleaning her station.

I sat there alone now and stared at my cigarette.

"Yeah...to forget." I said to myself then went to help close up.

Finally half an hour later we were headed home. We changed and left to go to the Curtis' where Frankie and Rikki already were.

"You sure your okay?" Bubbles asked softly.

"I'm fine. God how many times do I have to hear that from people. Bubbles you know me. I've been through worse and come out fine. Lets just go and have a good time alright?" I smiled.

This seemed to convince her which was good. I didn't need her telling Rikki and Frankie and having them wory about me. When we showed up music was blaring through the house and you could hear people laughing and cheering. It was like walking into a bar to tell the truth. Thick smoke, loud music, people everywhere. But it was cool. We hadn't really had any social interaction since we left home and ended up here.

"Look who it is?" Soda called out happily as me and Bubbles walked in.

"Well if it ain't my favorite soapsud and mute girl." Two-Bit joked.

"Shut up Two-bit. Keep crackin' on my name and i'll split you into two bits." Bubbles called smiling.

I quickly found Rikki who was sitting on the couch talking to Ponyboy and Dall. Frankie was somewhere, with someone, who knows. She'd magically appear eventually. No sooner had I thought this had I saw a blur next to Dally.

"So whats new?." Frankie said from beside Dally.

We all jumped and moved over so that she could sit down.

"Where the hell did you come from?" Dally asked holding his chest in shock.

"Me? Nothingness. I'll be returning there in about an hour." Frankie said calmly.

Dally just looked at her like she was crazy.

"Where does she come up with this shit?" Dally asked me and Rikki.

"She's your friend." Rikki said sitting back.

"She's your sister." I replied.

"Damnit!" Rikki slapped her knee.

"And once again Rikki you win the prize..." Frankie said snaking her way over to Rikki. "Me." Frankie smiled.

Rikki calmly looked at Ponyboy.

"Do you have a gun?" She smiled sweetly.

"What?" Poyboy blurted out.

"She's just messing with you. Calm down there spaz." I laughed.

Everything was cool. We all got to know the gang and the gang got to know us. Finally the music was turned down to a resonable level and things were claming down when some kid walks in all battered and bruised. All the guys looked up and aksed if he was okay. When he said yeah they left him alone. But Rikki wasn't about to let her motherly instinct subside for a stranger, afterall, thats how she met me.

"You, in the bathroom now with a damp cloth." Rikki said pointing to Jhonny. "You guys got any first aid kits or band aids or something?" Rikki asked Darry.

He showed her where they were then she disappeared into the bathroom with Jhonny. The guys looked at us but we didn't say anyhting. After about fifteen minutes they both walked out of the bathroom. Rikki looking pleased and Jhonny cleaned and patched up.

"Who did this to you?" Rikki asked.

"My parents. It's no big deal, they do it all the time." Jhonny shrugged.

"Mmmm, So, where do you live?" Rikki asked him.

Frankie, Bubbles and I all jumped up behind her and started waving our arms telling him no. He looked confused for a moment then Rikki whipped her head around and glared at us. Right before she saw what we were doing we all went into a stretching position. She turned back to lok at Jhonny and took his face in her hand.

"Now look at me. Where. Do. You. Live?" Rikki asked in a dangerous tone.

Jhonny caved and told her. Rikki then turned and walked out the front door. Of coarse we all followed her to Jhonny's house. And from what Pony tells us, that was the first time anyone had ever seen Jhonny's parents say they were sorry to Jhonny and look scared.

"Well, g'night." Rikki smiled and led us back home.

"Later guys." I called out as we were walking home.

Tommorow was the big day, our gig. And we needed to get some sleep.

(A.N. I know i'm making this jump a little bit, but i wanted to speed it up a bit. if you don't like it please tell me.)

"Where the hell are my gloves?" Bubbles yelled scrambling about the house.

"Over here. Has anyone seen my mask?" I called out and threw Bubbles her orange and prple gloves.

After about an hour of doing hair, make-up, and clothing, we were ready to go. We all hopped into the car and drove. It wouldn't go long distances, but it would make it to the club and back home. We were rushed in and onto the stage. There was a curtain hiding us from the audience. We all took our places and waited. The curtain went up but the lights were off.

"I hope you all like them, all the way from Japan, The Kimono dragons." The anouncer stated as the lights were all turned back on.

The audience cheered. I looked out and saw Mr.Smith and his wife in the middle, and the whole gang was sitting in the second row.

We looked pretty wicked up on stage. Bubles was wearing an red tank top, with a black skirt that had pink stips all through it, pink and red running shoes, and gloves that were pink, red and black striped. She had red lipstick red eyeliner and pink eyeshadow with bright orange nailpolish.

Frankie was wearing a black short dress with purple and black striped stalking, a black pair of mary sue's and a purple headban, with some purple gloves that didn't cover the top half of her hand. She wore purple lipstick and eyeliner and eyeshadow with voilet nail polish.

Rikki was wearing a pair of pinstriped pants with a tank top to match, that had two arm green and black striped arm bands that were two inches away from covering her soulder and about an inch from covering her elbow. She had on a pair of black boots with rainbow colored shoelaces, and a top hat on her head. She had green lipstick, black eyeliner, green eyeshadow, and acid green nailpolish.

I was wearing a pair of black pants with silver buckles and zippers all over the place, the fabric from the back buckles hung loosely near my legs. A black tank top with silver rings all down the front on both sides. I had on a pair of boots with silver skull and crossbone buckles. I wore half of a black mask over the left side of my face that was painted with white lines to make it looked craked and the right side of my face had black lines to make it looked craked. I had on black and silver nailpolish.

"Hello Tulsa. Tonight we will be playing one of our newest songs for you. It's called thank you for the venom." Rikki announced as she took the mic.

Rikki's keyboard was set off to the side for the next song, she didn't need it this time around. Frankie took her position and bubbles began the song on the drums. It was pretty cool. Then Rikki started singing.

"Sisiter, i'm not much a poet but a criminal and you never had a chance love it, or leave it, you can't understand." Rikki sang as she walked up to me and held the mic close so i could sing the next line with her.

"But what you do, so carry on and on and on." We sang.

(A.N. means Mime is singing with her for back up.)

"I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me

i'm just the way that the doctor made me

on, and on and on and on." Rikki started dancing around the stage.

"Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door What's life like, bleeding on the floor,

the floor,

the floor." me and Rikki started dancing around stage whilst trying to not screw up the guitar notes.

"You'll never make me leave I wear this on my sleeve Give me a reason to believe

So give me all your poison And give me all your pills And give me all your hopeless hearts And make me ill You're running after something That you'll never kill If this is what you want Then fire at will " Rikki sang will making a fake gun with her hand and firing at the audience.

"Preach all you want but who's gonna save me

I keep a gun on the book you gave me, hallelujah, lock and load

Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent sun It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you one,

and one,

and one" We were getting pretty odd looks form some people by now. But alot of them enjoyed it. The guys started acting like idiots though gofigure. But we kept playing.

"You'll never make me leave I wear this on my sleeve Give me a reason to believe

So give me all your poison And give me all your pills And give me all your hopeless hearts And make me ill You're running after something That you'll never kill If this is what you want Then fire at will" Rikki was having way to much fun, but thats Rikki for you.

Now it was Frankie and my turn to show off. We played the guitar solo without missing a beat, then allowed Rikki to show off her skills again.

"You'll never make me leave I wear this on my sleeve You wanna follow something Give me a better cause to lead Just give me what I need Give me a reason to believe

The audience seemed to like it alot which was pretty cool.

"Thank you. Bubbles on drums." Rikki announced and bubbles stood and bowed.

"Frankie on bass." Frankie tilted her head.

"Mime on Guitars and backup vocals." Rikki announced. i bowed then grabbed the mic from her.

"And Rikki on vocals everyone." I knew it might embaress her, but she'd thank me later.

We took our gear and left the stage, only to be bombarded by the gang.

"that was awesome." Soda grinned.

"What the hell are you guys wearin'?" Two-Bit laughed.

"Great voice Rikki." Jhonny managed to be heard.

"hey girls, great job. See you at work on monday." Mr.Smith waved as he walked past us.

"Everyone quiet for a second please. I can only hear you guys on at a time and my home planet is trying to communicate." Frankie said loudly to get everyones attention.

After all was said and done Darry said that a celebration was in order. Before we left the owner of the club came out and paid us, and asked if we'd play every weekend. So we finally were gonna have steady gig's, get paid for it, life was great.

"Alls we need now are some good men and we'll be livin' the good life." bubbles laughed.

"We can fix that!" The guys called out excitedly.

So what did you guys think. You liked it you hated it? Please reveiw k? .
