- Dallas and Hannah get into a lot of trouble
- Usually because if you pick a fight with one Winston, the other is hiding nearby, ready to beat your ass
- This also extends to the police department of Tulsa
- Dallas gets arrested, and Hannah books it to the station so she can cuss out a bunch of pigs while they try to lock up her brother
- Dallas does the same
- Alas, getting arrested also means needing to pay bail
- The Winstons are broke
- So Hannah talks Buck into letting her work in the bar for fifteen cents an hour
- She does this while Dal is in jail so he can't talk her out of it
- At first, Buck only lets her work during the day
- So there are no really creepy people chumming around
- But Hannah likes having money, and Buck likes the extra help
- She usually wipes down tables and cleans glasses
- And reminds Buck how much she hates Hank Williams
- "If I have to listen to "your cheating heart" one more time, I will smash my head against this table."
- They end up humming along together though
- Three days in Buck asks her to stick around for a night shift
- He tries to keep an eye on her but he has the attention span of a gerbil on LSD
- Hannah's just chilling behind the bar, trying to make drinks when Buck is running through the door with bottles of bootlegged moonshine
- "I forgot I owe this guy some booze! Watch the bar!"
- Everything's going fine, most people are too drunk to start any real trouble
- Until some guy starts talking to her
- "Hey baby, don't you think you're a little young to be here?"
- He keeps reaching for her hands and saying really awful things
- Hannah just stays behind the bar, lowkey trying not to cry
- "Listen doll, I know you're too young to even be in this dump. So, if you do something for me, I won't go talkin' to the cops about how Merrill is employing underage girls, m'kay?"
- This creep fucking lunges at her and grabs her arm
- Everyone is too wasted to notice
- "This is what happens when little girls go to bars alone"
- Well, almost everyone is too wasted to notice
- "Who said she was alone, you creepy fuck?"
- Tim was keeping a very close eye on Hannah once Buck left
- People are starting to notice what's happening
- A lot of guys are already drunk and angry so when Tim drags the guy outside, they follow
- The creep literally ended up in the hospital
- They may be greasers, but they do not hesitate to beat up a creep hitting on a child
- Tim fucking yells at Buck when he comes back for leaving her alone
- Buck feels so bad
- That was the last nightshift she worked for a while
- But now that she has money, Hannah spoils the hell out of Ponyboy
- Movies? Done. The Dingo? Done. Want a coke? I got you, babe.
- Pony feels kinda bad that he can't spoil his girlfriend
- So Hannah hides money in the pocket of his sweaters and jeans
- Pony smiles like an idiot
- He's so happy he can treat his girlfriend
- Darry is the only one who knows and thinks it's adorable
- He is a little concerned about where she's getting this money though
- Hannah has two wine bottles stashed under her bed
- Both are filled with bills and change
- One for savings, the other for bail
- Dallas has no idea and is 63% sure his sister is a hooker
- Or involved in some other ~funky~ business
- But hasn't built up the nerve to ask yet
- Buddy knows he's gonna get slapped
- Hannah lowkey likes spending time with Buck again
- Buck highkey likes spending time with her
Let me know what you think, feedback is fantastic, just like you lovelies <3
