Hey guys! Thanks the for reviews!

NellieGurl – what –is- going on? Haha. Good questions. You'll have to read to find out. Bum bum bum!

Bowlingforshrimp – haha. Yeah, I try to stay true. I thought he was a little too intimidating. But thank you! -

Sodalover – Yeah. Don't have enough Darry pairings. Well, I don't know, I have been on fanfiction for so long. Oh well. It will be interesting!


"Flower, what should I wear?" I whined. It was about a half hour before my "date" with Two-Bit.

I hadn't told Flower about my encounter with Dallas Whinston yet. I didn't plan on telling her anything about it, I was a little too scared. Besides, if I ignore it, it'll go away? Right?

"Quite frankly, I think Two-Bit is concerned with how much or how little the girl is wearing. Not the actually clothes." Flower said, sitting cross-legged on my bed.

"Oh, shut up, Kimmy." I said, using her real name for some reason. "You're such a hippy."

She ignored my comment and went on, "You're find with what you're wearing. Stop complaining about it." And then she yawned at me, blinking dully.

"What are you going to be doing tonight?" I asked. It was strange though, normally Flower and I spent Friday nights together.

"Nothing." She said rather quickly, and that's when I caught on to her.

"Oooh, is someone going to see a certain Curtis-boy?" I asked, grinning. It couldn't hurt to ask, could it?

She suddenly flared up, and blushed for what was probably the second time in her life, "I really wish you would stop talking about that. I'm just friend with Darry. I'm good friends with all the boys."

I nodded at her. Yeah, right. "I think your more then good friends with Darrel."

"Who's more then good friends?" my mother said, leaning in my door way. "And where are you going, Gwendolyn Marie?" Yikes.

I cringed hearing my whole name, ignoring the first question was the safest way to play it. "Flower and I are going out to the drive in to see a movie." It wasn't a complete lie. But my love for Two-Bit Matthews was to great to tell the truth!

"Alright then." It wasn't completely strange for me and Flower to go out. "Will you and Kimberly be going to be staying for dinner? Shouldn't you call Mrs. Tannir?"

Flower turned around and faced the wall, mouthing "Kimberly" disgustedly to herself. I smiled at my mom, "No thanks mom. We're going out."

My mom smiled slyly at me, "Don't have dates, do you?"

I tried my hardest not to turn red, "No!"

Flower smiled at me, not saying anything. She wasn't going to disprove or prove anything to my mother. But that was Kimberly Tannir for you. Thinking about her full name almost made me laugh.

"Gwendolyn Marie James, don't lie to me." She said, but she wasn't cross. "I don't mind if you're going out with boys tonight. Just be home on time. Maybe even bring the gentleman in to meet your father."

I almost died, blushing horribly and Flower burst out into her ringing laughter. Two-Bit Matthews, in my parent's house…? God forbid it should ever happen to the poor boy. Let alone that, my mother would faint and my father wouldn't let me out of the house ever. Oh, and I'd never seen Two-Bit again.


"Hello there Gwendolyn. Don't you look just a-lovely this evenin'?"

Didn't I wish it was Two-Bit's voice saying that. Well, guess again.

Looking up from my lonely spot at my table, I saw Dally grinning down at me, "Hi Dally." I said, hoping he would leave soon.

But of course, he sat down across from me in the booth. "What'cha doin' all by your lonesome?"

"I'm waiting for Two-Bit." I said quietly clenching my hands together under the table, as soon as he placed his own hands down on the table.

"Two-Bit? Two-Bit Matthews? Why you hangin' round him?" Dally said, raising an eyebrow at me. Ooh, that's right Dallas. Say it like you're not a hood yourself.

"I happen to ummm…" I started, but then Two-Bit came walking down the aisle in the resteraunt. I melted instantly, and paid no attention to Dallas.

"Why, hello Gwenny-girl. Dally, what you doin' here?" Two-Bit said, not sitting down yet.

"Ah, just saw your, um date?"

"Date." I said shortly.

"Just saw your date sitting here all by herself. Can't just leave ladies around like that Two-Bit." Dally said smoothly, "But, I must be off. You two catching the show later?"

I nodded, and he continued, "Well, maybe I'll see you two cats there."

I winched, I really hope I wouldn't see him there… But then Two-Bit had sat down, and I had forgotten all about Dallas.

"Sorry about that, Keith." I said quietly. That was his real name, but I didn't know what he wanted me to call him, really.

"Keith?" He took a minute to realize who I was talking to before smiling at me, "Two-Bit's the name, you know that doll."

I smiled at him, Okay, so was that strike one? I asked myself, now clenching my hands on the top of the table. That's when I noticed he had a fairly large bruise under his cheek.

"Woah, Two-Bit. Where'd you get that?" I said pointing softly at the mark on his face.

"Hey, I know, isn't my face beautiful?" He said smugly.

"No, I mean, yes, I mean, the bruise!" I said blinking at him, not brave enough to reach out and touch his face.

"Ooh, right. Right." He kept the smug grin, "Doesn't it make me look tuff?"

"Yes…" I thought of course he meant t-o-u-g-h. "But…how'd you get it?"

"Oh ya see, when I was skippin' class today, I got into a bit of fight with a Soc…"

"You were skipping class…?"

"Of course that's why I wasn't there." He continued, "Anyways, so this Soc, I think his name is Joe Rogersonsmith or…"

"Johnathan Rogers…?"

"Yah, him. So he comes up to me, and he's all, 'Hey. Grease. You takin' Gwendolyn out tonight?' And I says, 'Yeah!'"

I blinked at him, he got into a fight over me? I almost fell over and fanned myself in the booth, but then I went back to listening to him. Johnathan was a big oaf that tried to ask me out a few weeks ago. I politely had said no.

"And then the next thing ya know, he's walking over with his fist raised, and I go, 'Unless ya wanna get the shit kicked outta ya..' Oops, well, ya know. And so he punches me. The idiot punched me! So I taught him a lesson soon not to forget." Two-Bit said rather proudly.

I raised an eyebrow at him and was trying not to laugh. "Taught him a lesson soon not to forget, eh?" I stopped, "I mean…uh…" What if you get HURT? My brain yelled at me, That's something a normal girl would say.

"I dig you, Gwen." He smiled at me, and winked.

I thought the evening was going to go rather well….


If you love me, REVIEW! Heheh.
