Kieth Matthew's, or two-bit as everyone called him, was mucking around town. He had spotted his other friends in the local drive in theater. Being bored with nothing else to do he decides to go cause chaos at the drive in. Two-bit goes in the drive in through the hole in the fence where him and his friends always enter, he goes up to the first Socs car he sees beating on the window and running away. He continues on his mission to cause chaos at the drive in, lifting girls skirts, throwing pebbles at cars, stealing from concessions, and so on. Eventually he decides he's once again bored and goes to where his friends ponyboy and Johnny were sitting with two soc girls who he didn't know. He saunters over to them his usual cocky smile on his face. "Hey pony, Johnny cakes" he says loudly behind them, causing them to jump. "God two-bit you almost made me drop my coke!" Ponyboy glares at him and two-bit snickers. "Well well well, look at you two, sitting with two pretty ladies here" two-bit was a natural born flirt, he loves hitting on any girl he could. The red haired girl scoffs "we don't need you all on us too" two-bit raises an eyebrow and looks at pony "dally was makin' dirty comments at them and touchin on them" two-bit chuckles. "When isn't he?" He expected that behavior from Dallas. The guy just got out of jail, again. "Well you're lucky I'm not like Dallas, I'm a real gentleman" two- bit jokes, getting a small giggle from the brown haired girl. "So what's y'all's name's?" Two-bit leans against their chairs. "Cherry, she's Marcia" cherry introduces them both. "I'm two-bit" he grins. "Hey ponyboy let's go get a coke" cherry offers looking mildly irritated. "Yeah get me one too, and Johnny, I'm buyin" two-bit hands them the cash before they walk off. His focus is back on the girl he now knew was Marcia. "Hey doll, you're a real looker ain't ya" Marcia giggles softly "you're real funny two-bit" he gets a cocky grin on his face. "Just fact sugar" Marcia blushes softly giggling again. "Your friend Dallas, he's a jailbird right?" She asks him, now turned to face him "sure is doll" she nods "cherry could fall in love with him, she likes his type" two-bit nods "most gals can, he never settles down though, it's usually only heartbreak for them" she nods "oh i can tell" Johnny chimes in "he ain't that bad, he's just big an' tough, he knows he's good lookin" two-bit grins "yeah? He's big and tough now huh?" Johnny immediately knows what's he's doing "hush your mouth two bit you know what I meant!" This earns a snicker out of Marcia causing two bit to grin again. "Say doll, what's a sweetheart like you doing in a place like this anyhow?" He leans in next to Marcia. "Me a cherry came to watch a movie with our boyfriends, but they got real drunk" two bit notices the word boyfriends, slightly disappointed, but it wasn't gonna stop him from trying. "Yeah? Drunk boys are no good huh?" He looks at her face in a way that could only be sweet. She nods "gee it's a bit chilly isn't it?" She shivers. "You're gonna catch a cold doll, why ain't you got a jacket?" He immediately takes his signature leather jacket and drapes it over her shoulders gently, smiling as he sees how it fits her loosely. "Looks good on you doll" she blushes. "You're flattering me" he shakes his head "no ma'am, just statin truths". Eventually ponyboy and cherry come back, handing out everyone's popcorn and sodas. They finish the movie up, two-bit making jokes and comments through the movie as usual, marcia giggling every time. The movie finishes and the five of them start walking back to two-bits place to get his car t take the girls home. A blue mustang pulls up besides them, two soc boys getting out. "Cherry! Marcia! What are you doing with these hoods? Let's go!" Bob, the soc that jumped Johnny walks over and grabs cherry. Randy, Marcia's boyfriend, pushes two-bits jacket off her and takes her with him. "Goodbye two-bit" Marcia waves "bye doll". The socs get in the car and speed off. The gang of greasers now lowered to three walk back to their own houses. Two-bit looks at a paper in his hand, Marcia's number. "What's that two-bit?" Johnny asks. "Phone number" he shows the boys "Marcia's?" Pony asks "yeah, hers" two bit smiles.
