Chapter 11: You're The One That I Want

Taissa's POV

When Maury walked back into the apartment, she and Dallas were holding hands. I looked puzzled, but then the wheels in my head started turning. Since Dally and Maury were mad at each other when they left the apartment, that means they made up already. Aha I got it! God, I'm so slow. Sylvia and Sandy both got the boot from Soda and Dally. Afterwards I saw this glow in Sylvia's eyes when she laid eyes on Chris. The same with Sandy, but I still think Sandy has a thing for Soda.

"Hey big shot, you know, you are great at playing the drums." Sylvia winked at Chris.

"Yeah, well, I've been playing ever since I was little." Chris was fiddling with his drum sticks.

"I see…well you aren't that bad looking for a drummer." She was talking seductively

"You aren't half bad yourself." He gave her a half smile.

"So about you and me go out sometime?"

Chris eyed Sylvia from head to toe. "Alright, how about later tonight, then." He gave Sylvia a kiss on the cheek and went to pack away his things.

Sylvia thought she was the cock of the block now. She went up to Sandy and told her to make a move on poor Mason. Soda and I over heard their conversation.

"Sandy, now it's your turn. Go for the guitarist, over there." Sylvia said pointing at Mace.

"Uhh, I don't know, Sylvia. He's probably not interested." Sandy said doubtfully.

"Don't be a chicken! Got get him!"

I had this bad feeling in my stomach. Mason is my best friend; I don't want him going out with Sandy! Anybody but her, but Mason is too nice to refuse a girl. Ugh, he has to be so caring, doesn't he…I was about to go after Sandy, but Soda held me back.

"Leave her alone, Tai. She's just trying to move on." Soda said

"Yeah, move onto my best friend!" I said and then turned to look at Mace.

"Who do you want Sandy to have, me or Mason?" Soda said ignorantly. He wants me to choose, I hate choosing.

"You…" I mumbled and then turned away and tried not to see Sandy on the make.

Maury, Dally, Pony, Johnny, Soda, and I headed out the apartment. It seems Mason and Chris were gonna go on their dates right after they clean up the apartment. Maury and I tried thinking of something to do, we were all bored. Fortunately, we found Two-Bit and some blonde headed girl cross the street. Two-Bit didn't notice us at all.

"Let's go see what ol' Two-Bit is up too, huh?" Dally said looking at us. We started to follow Two-Bit and we ended up at a flee market.

Marissa's POV

I pulled Dally towards the clothes section. They had a whole bunch of nice shirts and skirts, but some were just out of it. I picked up a few shirts and tried them on. I asked Dally for his opinion; I wanted to see if he would tell me the truth or just humor me.

"Hey Dally, what do you think about this?" I asked trying on a baggy shirt that said 'I'm with stupid'

"You want the truth? I think I should be wearing that shirt if you ever think of buying that." He said lighting up a weed and blowing a perfect smoke ring. I started to laugh and gave a soft kiss on the lips.

"At least you told me the truth." I said cheerfully. He gave me a cocky smile. He walked towards the underwear and bra section. I could tell my face turned red, when he picked up a bra.

"You think this would fit you?" He asked seductively. I grabbed the bra and threw it back to where he found it.

"I don't need it. I have plenty at home" I said sternly hoping that my natural color comes back to my face. I looked into a near by mirror for sale and saw my face go back to normal color.

"If I ever bought you a pair of thongs or bras, would you ever show 'em to me?" Dally said grabbing onto my waist. My face turned red again.

"What do you want me to do, show and tell when you buy them? I'm not a model, ya know…" I said.

"You could be, with the great bod you have." Dally started sucking on my neck.

I gave in to his seductive ways, until Tai came along.

"Ahem!" She said loudly. Dally turned and saw my sister tapping her foot and holding onto her hips. "She doesn't need a love bite from you, Dally." She said ignorantly, "Hey Maury, can I talk to you for a minute."

"Oh, what, you gonna spank her now?" Dally said. He looked like he was getting on Tai's nerves.

"The only one who needs a spankin' is you." She said ignorantly.

"You know you want to do that to me, Taissa." Dally said.

"Oh yeah, that's my goal in life; to touch Dallas Winston's ass." She said sarcastically.

I walked up to Tai, "What's up?" I asked.

"I found this cool karaoke thing. You wanna sing with me?" Tai asked all excited.

"Yeah, sure!" This would be fun. I told Dally and he rolled his eyes and gave me a smile. We followed Tai, and she brought us to this little stage surrounded by people. But no one was playing; there was a huge bulletin that said 'Karaoke! Singers and Dancers may perform!'

"This is going to be interesting." Soda said watching Tai and I fill out the forms to perform.

"Hey Soda, where'd Pony and Johnny go?" Tai asked.

"They found playmates." Soda winked.

"Alright, will Taissa and Marissa Wilhelm please come up on stage!" the announcer said.

Taissa's POV

I gave my sister a nod and we both ran up on stage. We got a lot of people cheering us on.

"Okay we will perform the song 'Respect' by Aretha Franklin." Maury said grabbing one of the microphones.

"Yeah and we dedicate this song to my future brother-in-law, Dallas." I said in between giggles. I saw Maury's face turn red when she laughed, and I saw Dallas start to laugh too.

"Alright, one, two, three…"

Respect

Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)

When we finished the song we got a big round of applause from the audience. We took a bow and got off of stage.

So what'd you think?" Maury asked Dally.

"You guys did a good job." Dally said, "And it wouldn't be too bad having you as a sister either, Tai."

I guess he still remembers the brother-in-law bit.

"Yeah, same here, Dal." I said.

I guess Dal does have a good side to his dirty bad self after all.
