After a day of lounging around the house, waiting for Soda to come back and tell her whether or not she could go in to talk to his boss for the job, he walked through the door. And Kizzy practically tackled him.
"What'd he say?" She asked.
Soda laughed, "He said you could come in and he'd see what you can do." He told her.
She squealed and punched the air and then proceeded to do a dance-for lack of a better word. When she calmed down, she noticed the three pairs of eyes on her and blushed. "Hey guys…what's up?" She asked in a forced calm before sitting down, embarrassed. She cleared her throat, "so…uh…when do I go in?"
"Tomorrow." Soda told her.
She nodded and looked over to Dally. "I'm gettin' a job." She mumbled proudly.
Dally nodded, "I know."
"I'm gonna get to work on cars." She mumbled again.
Dally grinned, "I know."
"This is gonna be so kick ass!" She yelped.
Dally shook his head, trying not to laugh.
As each guy walked through the door, Kizzy would tell them proudly how she had an interview. Darry congratulated her with a bear hug, but warned her not to get a big head, she might not get the job.
Dally, though, refused to think that. He knew Kizzy, when her eyes sparkled that much over something it meant she held a passion for it, and she was good.
Kizzy couldn't sleep that night, she was so excited. She turned the whole night, going over everything she had ever learned. At dawn she got up and took a shower, got dressed in jeans and a nice shirt and made breakfast.
Soda stared at her as he walked into the kitchen, "uhh, Kizzy?"
"Hmm?" She asked, looking up from the table.
"He's gonna have you work on a car…"
She looked down at her shirt, "yeah…and?"
"Isn't that shirt a little nice for it?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
She shrugged, "they wind up getting grimy anyway." Soda stared at her for a minute and then nodded. She got a look at the clock and headed out the door. "I'll see you guys later!" She called and left.
Kizzy was three minutes early, and the boss apraised her, "Soda is sometimes two minutes late. But, he's one of the best and I know family lifes pretty hard on him." the boss told her, then, "Let's see what you can do." He set a Starter on the table, "Fix it."
So she got to work, fixing starters, alternators, brakes on cars, and just basic stuff. After an hour, Kizzy was exhilirated, having so much fun fixing cars, singing to the songs on the radio, and telling the Boss, Greg, about her home where her friends use to spend the day fixing up old cars, and selling them.
At noon, Greg bought them a pizza, and told her she was hired. Kizzy couldn't help but jumping up and down and dancing a bit.
Once she'd gotten home she squealed loudly and seized Dally around the ribs, practically squeezing the life out of him. "I got the job!" She shouted happily.
Dally laughed gently and stroked her hair, "I can tell, man, I haven't seen you this hyped up since we were kids." She squealed again, breaking apart and starting to dance again. Dally put his hand on her shoulders, "calm!" He barked, grinning.
Kizzy stopped, running her palm down her face, "ok, I'm calm now." She was able to manage a straight face for about two minutes before bursting into another round of overjoyed laughter.
After a few moments of overjoyed hyperness, Kizzy slowly wore down. "I'm tired." she said at last. All the excitment and the late night had finally grabbed her, like a reaper grabbing his victim.
"Go take a nap then." Dally said, opening a can of beer.
Kizzy snatched the bottle away and took a large gulp, "Ok I will!" and she sauntered down the hallway to the small bedroom where she wouldn't be disturbed.
Dally shook his head as he watched Kizzy disappear, only to realize that she still had his beer in her hand. He shot up and bolted down the hallway, knocking on the door. "I believe you have something of mine." He grunted.
He heard a snort from inside and the door opened revealing Kizzy in a huge t-shirt that went down to her knees. She sighed, "caught. Damnit." She handed the beer to him and reached into his jacket pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes. She pulled one from the pack and screwed the filter between her lips, lighting it. she placed the pack in his jacket again, petting it to keep it neat and smiled broadly.
"Have a nice nap," he said.
"I will." She said before closing the door.
Two-bit came a little bit later, and Dally told him Kizzy got the job. Two-bit was happy, stating that now they could get more free pop from the gas station.
Sodapop came in to here that last sentence, and slapped him over the head, "Don't use us like that." he said, in an injured voice.
Two-bit for once looked guilty, "Sorry Soda. Only kiddin'."
Soda grinned, "I know." and the two started wrestling.
Darry came in and told them to quit foolin' around, and soon after followed Johnny and Pony. Then, not long after, Kizzy was back up, renewed energy and was bouncing around, telling everyone about her new job.
"Me and Johnny are gonna head to the movies." Pony said, as him and Johnny stood up.
"Be home at eleven." Darry said seriously.
"Of course." Ponyboy said, "Wanna come, Kizzy?"
Kizzy hopped up, "Sure! I could use a bit of fresh air and a good movie...and mebbe some..." she nodded her head here, as if approving something, "Snowcaps."
Dally shook his head, "I'll come, too. Never know what could happen to you youngin's." Kizzy hit him lightly on the shoulder, and the four headed out.
At the movies, Kizzy munched on her Snowcaps happily, watching the movie. Dally slung an arm around her shoulder and she leaned back. She gave Pony a look and waggled her eyebrows at him before attempting to shove a Snowcap up Dally's nose.
"ARRGH!" He shouted, jerking back, causing Pony, Johnny and Kizzy to howl with laughter. A bunch of people in front of them turned around and shushed them so they settled back, Kizzy leaning against her chair with Dally's arm around her shoulder. She didn't feel him playing with her hair.
When the movie was over, they headed out, all lighting cigarettes. Pony let out a low whistle and pointed at a group of Socs that were approaching them.
"Shit." Kizzy hissed.
Five, tall, rather muscular Socs stopped in front of the Four. Johnny, who was on Kizzy's right, was shaking slightly, and Dally, on Kizzy's left, was clearly pissed.
"Hey there, gorgeous." the tall guy in the front said to Kizzy.
Kizzy smirked, "Hey Pony, this guy thinks you're gorgeous."
Pony's ears turned red and the Soc glared, "I was talking to you, girl. You shouldn't be hanging around with Scum of the world."
"Glad you see our point, but you guys came up to us." Dally said, cracking his knuckles.
The Soc glared, "Watch it Winston. I could easily snap you neck."
"Sure and I'm Greta Garbo." Dally said,"Now enough fancy talk, let's fight."
A Soc on the side, not nearly as big as his buddies grinned, "You think you four can take us?"
Kizzy snorted, "Please, guys like you are all talk. I could take you!" She spat, shoving her hands into her pockets and slouching down, her face had transformed into a dangerous glare that even made Dally uneasy.
"I highly doubt that," one of the Socs spat.
Kizzy sighed and approached him, "g'head, take your best shot." She said, standing straight, her hands never left her pocket.
"What?" He asked, frowning in confusion.
"You deaf? Hit me. You want to prove your something, so take a swing at me." She answered, her voice low and dangerous.
"Kizzy-" Dally was cut off by her holding her hand up.
"Just…do it." The Soc punched her and she reeled back holding her face. She stood up not even seconds later, a smirk on her face. "Great! Thanks! Now I can do this-" her fist crashed into his mouth, a tooth flew from his lips and skidded onto the ground.
As soon as her fist hit him, Dally jumped on the Leader Soc, Pony grabbed a bottle and smashed the end, using it as a weapon. Johnny, his face still slightly pale, ganged with Pony on another guy.
Their little brawl lasted about three minutes, and was interrupted by a police car pulling up. Kizzy jumped back from beating the shit out of a guy, "Shit. Dally hide your face! I'll take care of this."
Two police officers stepped out, one little and round, the other tall and gangly. "Whats goin' on here?" The tall one asked.
Kizzy put on her most innocent face, "This boy," she pointed to the guy who had punched her first, "Punched me. My boyfriend didn't like that. Thats why they started fighting."
The tall officer gave her an up and down, something that made Dally ignite with new anger, and replied, "Well, little lady, we'll let this fight go s'long as you and your boyfriend get on home without anymore problems."
"yes'sir!" Kizzy said, grabbing Dally's hand and motioning for Pony and Johnny to follow, the four walked quickly down the street.
Dally gave a hoot of laughter, "We should have you with us more often. God knows how much trouble me and Two-bit get into!"
