After that night, Soda and I would see each other everyday. Sometimes he would come to Dairy Queen to spin me around when I'm off guard and dip me while he kissed me and everyone at my work would cheer. His gang invited me to dinner and I loved being with them.

FLASHBACK

Soda: Melinda you already know Steve, and his is my bigger brother Darrel, but everyone calls him Darry

Darry: Nice to finally meet you (Shaking my hand). I feel like I already know you from how much Soda talks about you. (Chuckles)

Me: Oh really (raising my eyebrows and smiling while I look at Soda).

Soda: (smiling, rubbing his neck)

Ponyboy, Johnny, and Two-Bit: Señorita how are you, nice to meet you (everyone laughing shaking my hand)

Me: (Smiling)

Two-Bit: You know, if Soda wasn't your boyfriend, (raising eyebrows up and down once), (leaning towards me) I'd be glad to be yours. (Laughter everywhere).

Me: (My mouth opens, I look at Soda while my mouth is still open and start laughing).

Ponyboy and Johnny: No No Don't listen to him, don't listen. (Shooking their heads, saying no with their finger, and laughing)

Soda: Alright, cut it out Two-Bit. (Laughing)

Darry: Alright, Food is ready.

Ponyboy and Johnny: Right this way Señorita (each one grabbing on arm of mine)

Soda: Oh there you are Dal, Melinda this is Dallas, but could call him Dally of Dal.

Dally: Nice to meet you. (Smiling shaking my hand)

Evie: Hi, I'm Evie Sodapop's girlfriend

Me: What? (As my face dropped)

Evie: (chuckling) I'm kidding (laughing). I just wanted scare you for a moment. (Smiling)

Me: Oh, well you did. (Laughing)

Soda: Did what?

Evie: (cracks up) I told her I was your girlfriend. (And keeps on laughing).

Me: (Start laughing with Evie)

Evie: I'm Steve's girlfriend

Soda: (has his arm under her chin and his fisted hand is rubbing her hair fast) and you better stay as his girlfriend.

Evie: Ahh Soda stop you messed up my hair (slapping Soda on his arm and fixing her hair)

Soda: We call Evie Harley Quinn. She never stops kidding around and she's very vexing. She's a girl version of Two-Bit.

Me: That's actually a good name for her. (Chuckling)

Later on at dinner

Me: So Ponyboy, do you have a girlfriend? (Smiling while raising eyebrows)

Steve: Which one? (laughing)

Ponyboy: shut up Steve. (smiling throwing bread at him)

Two-Bit: when Ponyboy was little, he would think that if a girl said hi to him it was his girlfriend and a million girls say hi to him.(cracking up like always).

Later on that night

Darry: A toast to Melinda here tonight. (All of us raising our glasses) and one more question for you guys. Who wants to go take a Drive?

All of the gang: (cheering)

I was so confused. What's so exciting about a drive.

Soda: You have to come with us for this.

Evie: Yes it's super fun you'll love it.

We went outside, Darry did a twisting handstand on the fence, Steve did a backflip on the car landing on the floor and everyone cheered, and Soda jumped on the car and jumped back to the ground. We were just walking, we didn't even go in a car. How was this a Drive? Evie skipped to me and wrapped her arm around mine.

Melinda: So what do we do in a Drive if there's no cars involved

Evie: (Laughing) oh, see, we do this once a year. So that's why we're so excited. It's called a Drive cause we walk through a Drive-in in fast food restaurants instead driving in them and we pull jokes to the people who work there. I mean why drive when we can walk, we're Greasers for crying out loud. (Yelling)

I loved Evie, she was hilarious. It was like she gets drunk with no Alcohol. Like they say, Harley Quinn,But I heard that same comment about Sodapop.

Drive-in speaker (male): Excuse me, Why aren't you guys in your car?

Darry: Oh sorry, Our car broke down and we really want to eat here. (In a British accent).

Drive-in speaker: (Sighs) Okay, what do you guys want.

Soda: let's see, is your dollar menu on special.

Me: (gasp and cover my mouth)

Drive-in: um sir, this is the dollar menu, it's the cheapest thing hear.

Two-Bit: oh shucks, fine give me 6 cups of water

All of us: (laughing) (we walk up to where they're gonna give us the water and there was a woman there).

Johnny: uh, wasn't there a guy talking to us?

Drive-in girl: uh, yes there was

Melinda: oh okay, he just wanted to make sure you didn't sound like a guy.

All of us:(cracking up)

Soda: Good one baby. (He wrapped his arm around my neck and kissed my head).

Evie: Pony, Pony, Pony the snakes. Pony, Steve, and Dally will help me pull them.

Drive-in girl: alright here's your waters.

Evie: 3, shoot. (Rubber snakes went all over the lady.) (Laughing)

Steve: You're Amazing baby (kissed Evie)

We ran home after that.

Ponyboy: Melinda you are officially part of our gang (As he gave me a switch blade.

Me: Aw thank you, all of you.

Evie: So how'd you like the gang?

Me: You guys are amazing and I had a lot of fun with you guys.

RETURN FROM FLASHBACK

They made me laugh a lot. After dinner, Soda took me outside and just started kissing me. I could tell that he loved me very much and that he wouldn't hurt me. It was impossible for Soda to hurt anybody after what he told me about Sandy. I became really close friends with Evie, Steve's girlfriend. so every time we'd see each other at the DX, we'd hang out with the boys after they finished their work.

Last but not least, he finally took me to see Avalanna. She was the sweetest girl ever and very playful. After meeting her, I chose to visit her everyday with Sodapop. Sometimes I would run into some of the gang members. Avalanna seemed to love me by what she whispered in my ear.

"You should marry Sodapop."

I laughed and said

"Hopefully"
