It was late. Everyone was sprawled out somewhere asleep. The twins were in their rooms, but the guys were everywhere. I found it quite amusing when I went to go to work. Two-bit had his head on the table with a small pile of drool forming. Dally was on the table itself, with his legs hanging over the edge.
In the living room, there was the rest of the gang. Darry had one the rights of the longest part of the couch. Pony and Soda were curled next to each other on the carpet. Steve was in the armchair. Johnny was on the lounge that he liked.
I left the house. Hoping it would be in one peace when I got back. It started as a normal day at the hospital. The ER was silent. Of course that's when the ambulance came in. It wasn't that bad only some Socs. They had gotten overly drunk.
"Susan could I have some help over here?" The other nurse May called. "He won't stay still."
"Sure." I said. I walked into the room. May was trying to give him an IV. Sat on the guys legs and held his arms.
One of the doctors came over with restraints. The soc was tied to the bed. I got up and left the room. Nothing happened it was odd, a little too odd. It was a lot busier when I first started and up till today it was always busy.
"So the plan tonight. You think it'll work?" A brown haired boy was talking to the soc I restrained earlier.
"Yeah I think so. I just want to be there. I can't wait to see all the greaser's faces when we jump them tonight."
"They'll never see it coming. No one will be safe. Its who ever is out on the streets right?"
"Right. Who ever are outside, that's who we jump. They'll be more of us then them. It'll be no problem."
I knocked on the door. "You need anything?" I asked sweetly. Hiding what I just heard. They shook their heads. "The doctor should be here in a few." I smile at them and walk away.
Johnny's POVI woke up a little before dawn. Darry was long gone. Steve was still asleep in his chair; Soda was without Pony on the floor. There was a loud thunk. Followed by Two-bit's laugh and Dally's cursing.
Steve and Soda woke up. "What happened?" Ember came down the stairs. She was rubbing her eyes. Steve and Soda stared. She was still in her pj's. Ember and Amber wore the same thing. It was a too big shirt with an E or an A on them.
Amber came down following her twin. She was fully dressed. You could hardly ever find her indecent. I say she looked amazing. Pony came into the house. "Mornin'." He said. No one noticed his greeting.
"Ember you should change." Amber said to her sister.
"I'm fine." Ember retorted. "Suzy should be home soon." She said glancing towards the clock. It was six thirty.
"Breakfast." Two-bit said running towards the fridge. "Look chocolate cake! There's more than one!"
"Who doesn't have chocolate cake?" Ember said. "Though…someone," She glared at Amber. "Wouldn't let me put multicolored frosting on it."
"I wasn't my fault. Last time it turned the entire cake purple!" Amber shouted. "Who wants to eat disgusting colored food anyway? Green mashed potatoes, yellow peas, brown ketchup, and don't forget the blue eggs."
"They all tasted just fine."
Amber groaned. She went back upstairs. "What's her problem?" Steve asked.
"They always argue in the morning. When they don't that's when there's a problem. Usually Ember is the one yelling, but sometimes Amber does it." I say.
We all grabbed a bit of the cake. Amber came down as Suzy walked in the door. "Ya'll up?" She said. "Your never up."
"Dally fell of the table." Two-bit said.
"That explains it." Suzy said with a chuckle. Then she turned deadly serious. "I want ya'll to do somethin' for me. Spread the word no greasers go out tonight. The Socs are jumpin' anyone and everyone. Its more than one car full too."
"How would you know?" Dally asked.
"The hospital does wonders. A Soc and his buddy were talkin' about it. No one's safe. They said they didn't care who it was. I'm warning ya'll. There's going to be more of them then us. So at least five cars going 'round." Suzy left the room.
The table was silent. We weren't sure what to do. They're jumping all of us. It didn't make sense. Maybe it was going to be there last stand till school started. Pony and I couldn't go to the movies like we planed.
Dally stood up and left. Soda and Steve went to go as well they had to work. Ember changed and ran out the door with them. She would usually sit and watch them fix the cars. Ember mainly kept Steve company.
Two-bit, Amber, Pony, and I were left. None of us had anything to do. Amber said something about the library and ran out the door. Two-bit followed her saying that he wanted to see the hot librarian.
Ember's POVSteve was working on a really old ford. That thing had to be ancient. Soda was on break and surrounded by girls. I was sort of envying them. Especially Soda's girl, Sandy, I didn't like Sandy. I had a feeling that she was going to break Soda's heart.
Actually I just started work here. The DX's owner said I'd bring in more men. It was kind of true. More guys were showing up here, but still way to may girls. The guys mainly showed up then left after being rejected.
"Hey babe." A guy said. He was buying a coke. "You look like a movie star." I kinda did. My blonde hair and blue eyes, some of the girls were callin' me a female Soda. I smile sat him.
"Oh really?" I said. Soda glanced in my direction. I had to stop myself from laughing. "You know you're the seventeenth to call me one today."
"Do I get a prize?"
"Sorry that goes to the hundredth person." I said with a pout. Steve walked into the room. I threw the rag at him to wipe the grease off his hands. Soda was in shock. I had to think about something else before I could start to laugh.
"So when'll that be?"
"Could be hours, days, months, years, who knows?" I said sweetly. "I am only on seventeen."
Steve started snickering. Soda and the Soda admirers club, as I called them were watching me. "Can I get a hint of what the prize is?"
"Now why would I do that?" He raised an eyebrow. I just smiled. He paid and left.
Soda had to get back to work. I could tell the girls were waiting for that. Truthfully I had no clue why they wanted to see him covered in grease. Though I got to admit all guys looked good covered in grease.
Amber's POVI couldn't believe it we weren't even in there two minutes and Two-bit got kicked out. Of course I came out because who knows what he would do on his own. Seriously, if you left him in a room with nothing in it he could get in trouble.
"You want to get some food?" Two-bit asked. "My treat. Since you know…"
I nodded. The 'you know' was him spinning around the librarian and kissing her. I still couldn't believe he did that. He would be perfect for Ember's and my cousin Penny. She would do something just like that.
We ran into Johnny and Pony on the way to the diner. "I thought you were at the library." Pony said. He didn't talk much but it was more than Johnny or I.
"We had a little mishap." I elbowed him. He flinched. "I had a mishap. You want to join us for lunch?" They shrugged but came along anyway. It wasn't long after we sat down that we heard the news about not going out tonight.
After we finished we went to the DX to visit our friends. Soda was being watched by a lot of girls. Ember was handing Steve the tools he asked for. We had learned about how to take care of a car. Dad had taught us a lot before he died.
Ember came over to us. "Did you see the Soda fan club?" My twin asked. I nodded. "Mine's across the street." She pointed over her shoulder. "They probably love me more now that they see my twin." We broke into a fit of laughs.
