heres chapter 3, Katherine buys a mustang, also if you want to see her buy Mickey mouse back for Soda let me know in the reviews
Katherine walked into the car dealership on the 11th of May to get both her first car and one of the first mustang ever built. She saw a beautiful satin black one and bought it almost instantly wondering if she could get Steve and Soda to put chrome and ghost flames on it in a few years. The car purred like a pussycat and she felt both tough and tuff in it.
"Well miss you certainly have an eye for cars I reckon you're the first person in Tulsa to own one of these beauties, rolled off the assembly line just two days ago" said the salesman. Katherine drove out of the lot, 2500 dollars lighter in a brand new 1964 ford mustang. She drove up to the Curtis house and beeped the horn, all the guys came running out.
"please tell me that what I think it is" moaned Steve seeing Katherine in the driver's seat
" Its the new mustang from Ford, on of the very first off the assembly line. I'm going to need some work done to it in a few year though, would you and Soda be interested?" she asked innocently although already knowing the answer
"sister, you got yourself two mechanics" said Steve
"I just need some body work done to it, I don't know how either of you are with an airbrush and paint" said Katherine
"we can learn how pretty quick" said Soda not wanting this chance to slip through his fingers. Katherine had made sure to get the car insured just in case.
"I have to go get something real quick if any of you boys want to come this puppy has plenty of room" said Katherine. All their eyes lit up and Darry was in the passenger seat before anyone could blink.
"I just have two rules for borrowing this car, bring it back with a full tank of gas and no driving it drunk or even buzzed" she said seriously, answering the guys's question before the could ask it. They drove to the biggest hardware store in Tulsa and Katherine left the boys in the car while she picked up a copy of the national electrical code and various tools. The Curtis house was built in 1920 and she knew that knob and tube wiring was still used until the thirties, in order to prevent the possibility of fire she was going to help Mr Curtis rewire the house. She'd pay for everything of course, it really was the least she could do. When she got back to the car she found Steve and Soda practically caressing her leather seats. She had to stifle a laugh as Darry stared at him in a mix of shock, horror, and as if the guy was crazy.
"So, you know cars, electricity, math, cartoons, cooking, baking, you read, writing, have the best sense of humor of any girl we've met, know a little bit of making alcohol, and are willing to learn how to play football, where the hell have you been all our lives?" asked Soda. Katherine laughed
"blame the many states between here and Massachusetts." She laughed, though really they were two whole world's and close to 60 years apart.
"leave it to superman to get the best damn girl in the world" griped Two-Bit. Katherine laughed, she was loving this. All she had to do to keep the book from happening is drive the Curtis parents everywhere in February of 1966 and considering how Mr Curtis was looking at her car convincing him to ride in it would be no problem. That night katherine was helping Pony with his homework,
"Alright Pony, so if X=9 and X+12=Y, what is the value of Y" she pointed to a problem on his worksheet
"Um I don't know" said Pony
"Ok so we know what X equals,9, right, so put 9 in place of X and solve it like basic addition" said katherine
"21!" exclaimed Pony
"Great now do what I just taught you for all the others and if you need more help, I'll be making sure your brother isn't cheating at Poker again" said Katherine
"You know how to play poker?" asked Soda
"Not really but I know enough to know that hiding an ace up your sleeve is cheating" said Katherine
"Damn it" exclaimed Soda. Everyone laughed before Katherine went to go help Mrs. Curtis with Dinner.
