Soda: I bet it's gonna be Steve!

Chapter 9

The gang sat at their usual spots. Steve on the floor, Dally and Darry leaning against the wall, and the rest in chairs. Steve leaned back on Soda's leg sighing. "All in favor of making Soda a girl say I."
The gang grinned saying I. All except Soda that is.
(Soda: WHAT?)
He had reached down whacking Steve on the head. "You're a pal, Randle."
Ponyboy was smiling. "All in favor of making Steve Soda's escort raise your hands."
Everyone raised their hands. Soda rose his grinning smugly. "If I have to be a girl you have to suffer along with me."
(Steve:NO!) (A/N: YES!)
"You all will die painful deaths when I'm done." threatened Steve getting up. Dally who was a few inches taller than Steve used his head as an arm rest.
"Kay, Tiny Tim. You do that."
Steve muttered under his breath glaring ahead of him crossing his arms.
Everyone gathered around Soda grinning. Dally, Steve and Two-bit had gone to grab some stuff.

The three hoods made their way silently through the crowd looking for anything that they felt would be funny to put on Soda. Steve slipped his arms around a girl his age's neck whispering in her ear. She instantly fell under his spell smiling stupidly. He carefully slipped her necklace-a silver choker- from her neck and into his pocket before creeping away.
Two-bit's method was to say hey to people and when they turned away awkwardly he would grab something from their pocket. He had so far stolen a tube of lipstick, Mascara, fake eyelashes from a man woman (A/N: Disturbing…) and a piece of gum.
Dally would just randomly pull stuff off of people. He so far had a pair of earrings and a high heeled shoe.
Steve stopped by a couple talking about Cumpooters or something and he slipped his hand into the guys back pocket. He pulled out a little black box in it a diamond ring. He smirked pocketing that as well.
The three met by the stage smirking before going back stage.

Soda sat perfectly still as Steve slipped the necklace around his neck. Johnny and Ponyboy had found a wig lying in the make-up room and they fit it on Soda's head. It was a blonde wig which was perfect since he was blonde to begin with.
Darry had found another high heel and he helped Dally fit them on Soda's feet sniggering the entire time. Katie walked back to guys and handed Johnny a brush. She then handed Steve a dress and suit.
Steve eyed the dress wearily. "Um…who's this for?"
Katie smirked. "Soda,"
Soda tried to run but Pony and Dally held him down.
"The suit is for you, Cutie." She said tying her long raven hair out of her tan face and in a ponytail. She looked to be about the same age as him.
"Thanks," said Steve smiling at her.
She smiled back. "Your welcome." Then she walked back on stage taking a deep breath.
Soda was grinning at Steve as Johnny brushed his long hair. "You digging her now?" he asked quietly.
Steve blushed. "No!" he said quickly, too quickly. He kind of smiled a half smile before handing Soda the dress. "Grin all you want Buddy but it ain't stoppin you from gettin in that dress."
Soda pouted standing up and hobbled away awkwardly to a dressing room.
Johnny and Ponyboy joined Two-bit in laughing hysterically. Darry chuckled and Dally laughed at everyone's stupidity.
"He just entered the girls' dressing room, ya know." He said casually.
Everyone started cracking up.
Steve walked into the Men's' dressing room to get changed.

As Soda stepped out everyone looked up. His blonde hair fell in soft tendrils around his face and his honey brown eyes looked nervously at the guys. A faint blush crept along his cheek and somewhere in the background a song was heard.

Hey sexy lady, I like your flow

Your body's bangin, out of controoooooool! (Uh!)

You put it on me (That's right) ceiling to floor

Only you can make me, scream and beg for moooooore!

His dress was long and silky colored a blood red. His luscious lips were colored red and his long black eye lashes blinked seductively at them.
A door opened to his right and out stepped a handsome young man. The music changed and Dally as growing agitated with the music but he did not tear his gaze away.

A thug boy
A tough boy
A rough boy
My kind of boy (boy)
A cute boy
A hit boy
Oh you should be my boyfriend, boy…

Steve stood there in a cool stature as coal black hair fell into his deep brown eyes. He was blushing and a little irritated for being dragged into a black suit and shiny shoes. He didn't think it was him. The hot tempered mechanic stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Ok then…" he said as Soda looked him up and down.
"Quit checkin me out, Soda!" he said. "It's scarin me!"
The guys including Lady Soda laughed.
Katie walked to the back and stopped dead in her tracks when she examined both Steve and Soda. "You guys look great!" she said. She smiled and winked at Steve. "Ready?" she asked.
