Rosanne's POV:

Did Dallas just ask me out on a date? Oh my gosh! Do I say yes? Do I say no? I kind of want to say yes just so I can get to know Dallas more before I make my final decision.
I'm very afraid to say yes though. I'm afraid that Johnny will get the wrong message and be sad. I feel like Darry will get mad at me. I kind of want to say yes, but can it just be a friendly date? Like, just hanging out just as friends, not an actual date?
Well, I'm sure that Dallas likes me, because he bought me a heart shaped box with beautiful earrings in them, he got me a rose, and he keep calling me beautiful. Not to mention, he about killed Johnny because he said I am beautiful.
I'm afraid to say no because I don't want Dally's feelings hurt, or he'll get mad and make me go, or he'll smack me. Man, I need to think about this one too! Ahg, what should I do?!
"So, what do you say?" Dallas asked me in a sweet smooth voice.
I look around. I look at Darry and he's giving me a look, the look is telling me that I should say no, but I want to get to know Dallas more.

"I'm not sure, Dallas," I say nervously. "Can I let you know in the morning?"
Dallas leans up and takes his hand off the wall. His flirty look he had went away. He looked rather sad. "That's fine, Rosanne." Dallas walked away.
I watched Dallas walk away into the bathroom or something. I feel really bad now…

Dallas's POV:

I'm not sure Dallas, can I let you know in the morning? For real? I thought the earrings I saved up for her would have made her say yes. Ugh. Hopefully she makes up her mind soon and says yes.

I walk into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I go up to the mirror and just look at myself in the mirror. Please Rosanne, please say yes. You're beautiful, and smoking hot. I would change just to be with you.

While looking in the mirror thinking, I hear Darry speak up to Rosanne.

"You alright Rosanne?" Darry asked.

"No, not really," Rosanne said. She sounds very upset.

"What's wrong?" Darry asked her.
"I feel bad," Rosanne said. "I want to go out tomorrow and hang out with Dallas, but I'm afraid that Johnny will get the wrong message and be sad. I want to get to know Dallas a little bit more before I make my final decision."
Final decision? Did Johnny admit his feelings for her? Does she like him? Does she like me? Both?

"Can him and I just hang out as friends?" Rosanne asked. "That's what Johnny and I are doing, just hanging out as friends. I just don't want Johnny to think I chose Dallas over him. I'm still unsure."
"Remember what I said earlier Rosanne?" Darry asked. "I'd rather you chose Johnny because I know that you'd be happier and I know that Johnny would treat you much better than he would."
Oh, I wish I didn't hear Darry say that… Oh, how I really wish I didn't hear that. Maybe he is right. Maybe Rosanne is better off with Johnny instead of me. Though I did say I would change just for her and I would, but it would be hard.
"Just as friends?" Rosanne asked. "Just to get to know him better?"
"I don't know Rosanne, it's your life. Do what you want," Darry said. "Though, you and Johnny would be better together in so many ways."
"Just as friends though," Rosanne said.
I walk out of the bathroom slowly. I slowly walk passed Darry and Rosanne and act like I heard nothing.
"Hey Dally!" Rosanne called and walked to me.
"Hey what's up," I say casually.

"So… What time were you thinking we could hang out?" asked Rosanne.
"I don't know," I say. "Sometime after noon for sure because I don't even wake up until like 2 p.m."

"Okay Dal, we could leave at like 5, if that's fine?" Rosanne said.
"That's perfect," I say and walk away.
Yes! I got a date with Rosanne. I know she says "as friends" but still I finally get to hang out with her. I better not screw things up tomorrow.

Darry's POV:

Are you serious Rosanne!? You know you're gonna waste time tomorrow- you like Johnny Cade! You and Johnny are meant to be together! You and Johnny act so much alike and he is madly in love with you. You better chose to be with Johnny after this "date" tomorrow. I just want the best for you, Rosanne.

Dallas walks away from Rosanne. I saw a smile grow on Rosanne.
"Why don't you ever listen to me, Rosanne?" I ask.

"What do you mean?" she asked. "You said it's your life, do what you want. So I'm doing what I want. Dallas and I are just friends right now. I just didn't want to hurt Dally's feelings."

"I know you're making a huge mistake," I say.
"I know he isn't gonna kill me or anything!" Rosanne raised her voice. "He saved up money to buy me these earrings and the rose!"
I grab the rose with my hand and feel it. "Rosanne, this is fake! A guy who truly loves you would buy you or pick out a real one! I know Johnny would get you a real one, if he hasn't already."
I see Rosanne pull out a purple tulip out of her jean jacket and go to the kitchen. "Rosanne, what's that and where are you going?"

"Calm down, I'm just going into the kitchen to put this tulip in a vase of water," Rosanne said.
"Where did you get the tulip from?" I ask.

"Johnny," Rosanne said.
I walk over to the tulip and feel it. Johnny got her a real tulip. This is proof number one that Johnny would treat her better.
"Dallas got you a fake rose, Johnny got you a real tulip," I say. "This is proof right here! This shows Johnny will treat you so much better than Dallas will!"
Rosanne puts the tulip in the vase and then she slams her hands down on the counter. "YOU ALWAYS GET ON ME DARRY! LET ME MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS AND BE HAPPY FOR ME!" Rosanne shoves me out of the way and stomps away.

"What the heck is wrong with you kiddo?" I ask with my arms open.
