"What do you think, Riz?" Marty asked, posing in the mirror, holding two different skirts over her waist. "Blue or purple?
Rizzo ignored her. She was too busy digging through drawers in Marty's gigantic closet. There had to be a pair in here! They were meeting the Pink Ladies again- and this time, they would get their jackets. Rizzo knew she absolutely had to look perfect- the way the leader of the Pink Ladies should. "Aha!" Rizzo exclaimed, pulling a shiny pair of black pants out from the very bottom of the drawer.
Marty grabbed it out of her hands. "Pants! What're you gonna do with these?"
Rizzo snatched them back and pulled them up over her legs. Perfect. "Wear them. Duh. And look, there's a pair for you too."
"These were our Halloween costumes!" Marty yelled. "We can't wear them out on a normal day!"
Rizzo rolled her eyes. They had been cats for Halloween. "Sure we can. Marty, it's the Pink Ladies. They wear stuff like this all the time. When we're in high school, we'll wear it too! C'mon!"
Marty sighed. "Fine."
Rizzo grinned and handed her the other pair of pants.
...
"So, you did everything we asked?"
Night had fallen. The Pink Ladies had invited the four girls to a campfire party they were hosting. Well, they invited them to stop by before the party to set everything up. Rizzo thought their 'initiation' was stupid, but she was hoping the girls would let them stay. A senior party would be great for their reputations.
Sherri and Rizzo stood a foot or so apart. On Rizzo's left were Frenchy and Jan, who both showed up in poodle skirts. On her right was Marty, who looked beyond gorgeous in the black pants. Rizzo hoped she looked just as good. On Sherri's side were the other three Pinks- Zay, Molly, and Suze. The four were all matching in black pants and black shirts with their pink jackets and black shoes.
Rizzo tossed Sherri a pack of cigarettes and Frenchy held out two bottles of wine that Zay grabbed. "Yup."
Sherri smiled. She snapped two manicured fingers together. "Jacket."
Molly rushed to stand on Sherri's left. She held out a pink bundle of clothes. Sherri grabbed it and held it out to Rizzo. Inside, Rizzo screamed with excitement. Outside, she gasped with excitement. The jacket was light pink, identical to Sherri's. 'Rizzo' was stitched in black on the right breast, and when Sherri turned it around, she saw 'Pink Ladies' written in swirly script on the back. Rizzo pulled it out of Sherri's hands and slipped it on. She saw Molly and Suze hand the rest of the girls the same jackets.
"Oh my gosh," Frenchy squealed, grabbing Rizzo's hand. The four girls formed a little circle and giggled happily. Rizzo didn't even care what Sherri thought- they were finally Pink!
"You girls wanna stay for the party?" Zay offered.
"You totally should," Molly agreed.
"Pinks stick together!" Suze added. Sherri stuck a cigarette in her mouth and nodded with agreement.
"Yeah!" Marty gasped.
"We'll stay," Rizzo said, her eyes sparkling in excitement. Frenchy's hand slipped into hers, and Rizzo squeezed.
