Chapter 7: Summer Lovin'

Taissa's POV

I felt a warm, bright, light on my face. I slowly opened my eyes and observed my surroundings; I was in my room. The last thing I remembered was me, Maury, Dally, and Soda all got tipsy right after the movie Grease. It was a lot of fun too. It started out, when Maury brought the bottle of Baileys to the living room, that actually belonged to our father. We invited Two-Bit, Ponyboy, and Johnny to join us, but they went straight to bed, what party-poopers. I wiggled out of the covers and found Soda lying down next to me on my bed. My eyes widened at the thought of me and Soda doing something while we were drunk. I shook my head and tried to forget about it, but I had a serious headache so I didn't want to shake my head so much. I got up and went to the bathroom; I took a shower, got dressed, brushed my teeth, and then got out of the bathroom. I went back to my room and saw everyone still asleep, so I went to Ponyboy's room to see if he was awake.

"Hey Ponyboy!" I said as I walked into the guest room. He greeted me with a smile and sat up.

"'Morning Tai, how you feeling? Heard you got drunk last night." Ponyboy said.

"Yeah, well I guess we just got bored and decided to half a drink. Did you happen to know how drunk I was?" I hope I didn't make a total fool of myself while I was tipsy.

"No, you were just dizzy and stumbled a lot. Except for that, you seemed normal." Ponyboy said putting his hand on my shoulder. I sighed and smiled, thank the lord for not making a fool of myself in front of Soda.

Marissa's POV

I was having a nice dream about me and my band making it to the big tops. We were at the MTV movie awards and we just won an award for one of our great songs. I was about to speak on the microphone when I felt something really hard fall on me. I woke up and saw Dally's arm resting on my stomach. If he wasn't so hot while he was asleep I would've pushed him off. I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. I did my usual routine in the morning, and then I went downstairs and found Ponyboy and Johnny making breakfast and, Two-Bit drinking beer. I greeted them and then walked into the living room and saw Soda laying down on the couch and Tai swallowing an aspirin with some water.

"Hey guys!" I said and sat down next to Tai.

"Good morning" Soda said cheerfully. In a few minutes Dally came downstairs and sat on the couch's arm right next to me.

"So, what do we got planned for today?" He said giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Why don't we go to Coney Island?" I suggested.

"What the hell is Coney Island?" Dally exclaimed.

"Isn't it obvious, Dal? It's an island where they sell ice cream cones." Two-Bit then started to crack up.

"Shut up, Two-Bit!" Dally yelled, "Smartass…" he mumbled under his breath. Two-Bit laughed some more and then sat down on the floor beside the couch.

"So what is this Coney Island place?" Ponyboy said walking into the living room.

"It's an amusement park." Tai said. Their expressions on their faces changed from 'What the hell?' to 'oh cool an amusement park!' By 12:30 everyone was ready to leave. We took the train and bus and by the time Dally already started to complain we already made it to the amusement park.

"Well here we are!" I said as I got on line to pay for the tickets. I was going for pay for Dally, Johnny, and Two-Bit while Tai paid for Soda and Ponyboy. I had more money saved up then Tai so I decided to pay for three people other then myself. Once we all paid, the guys were filled with amazement. It was as if they never been to an amusement park before; well I never read anything about them ever being in an amusement park so I wouldn't know. Ponyboy, Johnny, and Two-Bit ran off together, I guess to go on some rides. Tai was with Soda, they looked so cute together. And I was left with the one and only Dallas Winston. This would be an interesting day with him, seeing that he never been to Coney Island before.

Taissa's POV

Soda and I went on this really kool ride, I forgot what it was called but I named it the rainbow ride 'cause it was rainbow colored. It did a 360 and would spin around and go up and down. I thought I was going to be sick once I got off, but I was just dizzy. Soda got all hyped and wanted to ride it again, but I convinced him to go on other rides before going on the ride twice. We went on fast rides; it was fun 'cause, if I got real scared I could just hold onto Soda. Once we got tired of all the fast rides, we decided to go on the Ferris wheel. While we were on the Ferris wheel Soda decided to play bad and started to jump and shake the cart we were in.

Soda! Stop it! I don't wanna die young!" I yelled. Soda laughed and started to jump higher and shake rougher. Then we heard the guy who controlled the ride talking on a megaphone.

"We will stop the ride until you control yourself!' The man said. I looked down and then at Soda. He grinned at me as if he planned on getting us stuck on the very top. He came closer to me, and then when I least expected it he kissed me. We started to heavily make out, but I remembered that the guy would leave us up here if we kept moving, and I didn't feel real comfortable. So I pushed Soda softly and stepped back.

"Let's wait until we get home 'kay?" I winked at him.

He got all excited and then he yelled to the guy, "Okay we'll stop moving. Just bring us down!" I started to chuckle and then minutes later we got off the ride.

Marissa's POV

The first thing me and Dally did was play all the games Coney Island had to offer. At first I was teasing Dally about this game that you have to test your strength.

"I bet you can't ring that bell, Dal. You ain't strong enough." I teased. Dally gave me a smirk and walked to the game. He grabbed the mallet and hit the base as hard as possible to make that bell ring. It rung and I clapped with joy; Dally picked out a stuffed animal and then gave it to me.

"Aww thanks Dally!" I squealed and gave him a small kiss.

We won a lot of games and collected a bunch of prizes. Then Dally felt like going on ride, and he picked the one ride that I wouldn't choose to ride with him alone. It was called 'The Tunnel of Love' I was a little worried about that ride; I didn't know what Dal would do with me in there. But I couldn't say no to him, I hate him as my weakness. We went on the ride and right when we got on that stupid swan boat we started to make out. Once the ride was over the sun was already going down. Everyone met up at the entrance. Two-Bit came back with a blonde headed girl holding his hand, Johnny and Ponyboy were holding a whole bunch of food, and Tai was holding a cute medium sized teddy bear in one hand and was holding Soda's hand in the other. Dally and I were holding all the prizes that we won; I would say everyone had a fun day. Hopefully the day wouldn't end boring, maybe me and Tai could plan on going out once we got home.
