Picture of Alex and the side

"So Dyl, you wanna try that dinner again?" Soda asks as I walk into the DX propping myself up on the counter.

"Sure thing. What time?" I reply.

"Steve!" Soda shouts as Steve walks in.

"Hey Stevie," I smile running over to hug him.

"Hey Dyl," he says as he wraps his arms around my small body.

"So dinner?" I ask turning back to Soda.

"7:30ish," he replies.

"Okay, I'll see ya in a bit then. I'm gonna go get ready. See ya Pepsi. See ya Stevie," I give both the guys a hug. I'm so happy Soda and I made up two weeks ago. I've gotten really close to him and Steve. I have a tinsy winsiny crush on Sodapop but, it's nothing and Steve's practicully my brother.

I walk into my house to see my sister, Alex curling her long hair that she dyed blonde. As she sees me she squeals, "guess what!"

"What? What? What?" I ask her as I look at my excited sister.

"I've been seeing this boy for a little over a month and I wasn't sure where it was going neither did he so he told me not to tell anybody.Well, today he asked me to go to dinner with his friends! His name is Dally," she spills. 

"Dally?" I ask her as my mouth falls to the floor.

She nods chuckling a little, "yea....Why?"

"As in Dallas Winston?" 

"Yea. Do you know him?"

"Yes, indeed I do. He's one of the boys I met due to Sodapop. I'm going over to that dinner tonight too. Seven-thirty?"

"Yea, seven-thirty. Who's picking you up?"

"Walking. You?"

"Dallas. He can drive you too!"

"Okay, I'm gonna go get ready. We should go matching."

"Yes! What do you wanna wear?"

"Skirt, jeans, or shorts?

"Skirt or high-waisted shorts?"

"Okay then easy! Blouse, or cute t-shirt? Dress?"

"Blouse easy."

"Well blouses go with skirts. Color?"

"Light pink blouse with a tan skirt for you. For me light blue blouse with a silver skirt. Flats, heels, or wedges?"

"Well, we're short so, wedges."

"Hair?"

"Loose curls, you already started."

"Break!" We both yell at the same time as we go to get ready.

As seven-thirty Dally came. Alex and I walked out as soon as we hear him knock,  matching everything minus hair color. Her hair is super blonde while my hair is light brown. Sure it's  almost blonde but, she dyed her hair super blonde. We lock arms as we walk down the steps to greet Dallas Winston. "Hi Dally," I smile slightly.

"Hi, uh...Dylan?" He asks super confused,

"Hi Dally, this is my sister Dylan but, it turns out she already knows you. She also got invited over for dinner," Alex says softly.

"Oh, okay. Hi Dylan. Hello Alex," he bends down and kisses her cheek lightly,

The drive there was filled with an awkward silence. We get t the house and we walk in without even knocking. I look over to see my dumb boys wrestling on the floor. I walk over to them laughing as Steve puts Soda in a headlock. "Go Stevie!" I cheer.

"Nice to know who's side your on," Soda scoffs playfully. 

Ponyboy walks over to me and whispers into my ear, "Soda talks about you all the time." I look over to Soda who is looking at us skeptically. "He likes you loads." I can't help but smile.

Soon enough Two-bit walks in and yells, "hey Soda! Is this that girl Dylan you talk about all the time? The blonde broad is cute but the brunette is pretty. I like blondes though. Which one is your girl?"

Sodapop turns bright red and Dally wraps his arm protectively around Alex as the gang roars with laughter. I walk over to Sodapop sitting on his lap, "I find it sweet that you talk about me all the time Pepsi."

"Really Dyl?" He asks happily.

"Defiantly!" I assure him by kissing his nose making him look down shyly. "Hey Soda, look at me. You're my best friend."

"You're mine too," he smiles back. 

"Awe look at the happy couple!" Steve shouts.

I grab a pillow and throw it at him, "shut it Steve!"

"And what are you gonna do about it Dyl-pickles," he taunts.

"Oh you're gonna get it!" I squeal as I drag Soda over to him with me. "Pillow fight!" Steve, Soda, and I all grab pillows and start throwing them at each other as the rest of the gang evacuates.

"Dally let's join in!" I hear Alex squeal happily.

"Anything for you Lexi," he replies as they run out also grabbing pillows. I scream as Soda tackles me to the ground waking me over and over again with a pillow. 

"Sodapop!" I yell as I smack him off me with a pillow jumping up hitting Alex to the ground. Soon enough Alex and I are beating each other with pillows assuming the boys are doing the same. That is until a piece of chocolate cake hits Alex right in the cheek.  "You did not just do that!" Alex yells at Dally who is laughing. Before we know it we're all flinging cake across the room at each other laughing. I grab a handful of chocolate cake and sneak up behind Sodapop smearing it all over his cheek. I also put all over his kissable, soft, pink lips. He bends down kissing my cheeks over and over again until he pecks my lips putting chocolate kisses all over my face. It felt like time froze for a second, I'm just thankful nobody noticed. I wipe the chocolate kissing smearing chocolate all over my face before continuing, with the chocolate cake fight. We get interrupted by Darry yelling, "dinner!" All the boys throw the last handful of cake at either me or Alex leaving us to only have each other to throw at but, I slowly walk over to her and whisper, "smear it Dally and I'll do the same for Soda. Deal?"

"Deal," she smirks back before we tip-toe off to our boys. Alex and I both put the last handful of chocolate cake somewhere on our boys, I put my last handful all in his greasy hair while she puts in on his lips. As she finished he stands up towering over her and leans down to kiss her lips softly leaving chocolate all over her, "got you Lexi."

"I got you too though,"  she smiled as she sat next to him.

We all eat dinner making small talk about life. When I can't stand it anymore I have to ask, "Alex, where did you get the nickname Lexi from?"

"Well I met Dally at a party. I think uh Buck's, well some guys were trying to sleep with me. So Dally asked around until he found out my name. He walks over to me and the guys before yelling, 'hey leave my girl Lexi alone! Also, if you truly know her, what's her name?' A few of them left and the rest guessed. One or two guys got it right but, Dally lied to them and told them no. I looked to him and smirked, 'so I'm your girl now, Mr.Dallas Winston bad-est bad boy of town. My name is Alex but I think you know that.' He chuckles lowly, 'well, I thought Lexi fits you better. It's cuter and more girlie.' After that we were always hanging out and joking. We wanted to keep it on the down low in case it went no where but, I guess it is because I'm here," she explained smiling through the whole story.

"Well, it is going some where. I have to ask you something Lexi," he replies pulling out a small velvet black box with a red velvet red bow on it. He opens the box exposing a small gold ring with a small diamond that fits perfectly in it. "Will you be my girl?"

"Oh my god!" She squeals as she covers her mouth, tears forming in her eyes.

"Is that a yes?" He asks looking hopeful. 

"That's a hundred percent absolutely yes," she squeals happily. He puts her hand on her cheek and he kisses her softly but lovingly. Once they break away she looked at the time. "Oh my god! Dylan, we have to get home. Thanks for dinner. Bye."

"Thanks for dinner Darry. See ya later," I say a bit calmer than who is now known as Lexi. I also like it better.

"Wait!" Darry stops us.

We both turn around and in unison reply, "yea?"

"I just wanted to let you two girls know that you're welcome any time to come over. Don't bother knocking," he tells us with a smile.

"Thank you Darry. Really, thank you," I say genuinely.

"Thanks Darry," Lexi yells as we run out the door.

Who else ships Lexi and Dally?
