Totally awesome story! :D

"what were you doing giving my daughter a ride?'' hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

i really liked it. it was so cute and sweet. i liked that marcia's dad was a cop. i like the way you started it. i thought you characterized them both very well. i love marcia and two-bit. ending so sad!

Aw, I love it. I've always wanted to see a Two-Bit/Marcia post-novel fic and this was great.

Wow. I wondered about Marcia after the book. Dark ending, but kudos for realism. Like your writing style!

marcie is amazin for keepin her head up
awwe the refreshing smile
waren's daughter?1?!? ek!
"...she lied with astounding ease..."--a match made in heaven!
"Whatever she had made him feel earlier began to slowly fade as she walked through that huge oak door into that cold, marble-coated home and he headed back to the old dilapidated neighborhood he lived in."-- like ice water, how sad b/c she is a good girl and they are cute together
great lil story here, its nice to add more to the story

this was perfect. i love how you wrote Marcia. Two-bit was great too. Its really good that we get a full view of Marcia just like we did Cherry. great job!

I really enjoyed this and I liked how you mentioned how the Cherry/Marica relationship turned. I always like Two-Bit and Marcia together(even though she isn't my favorite charchter.)I hope to see more work from you scene.

Aww, no! It was going so well! It’s such a shame to see Two-Bit destroying his chances that way – seemingly by habit. There’s no real reason for it, it’s just what he’s used to doing lol. It’s too sad the way as soon as Marcia’s gone, he’s back to feeling self-conscious and unworthy. He takes a very hard reality, but, I’m not so sure if it’s actually reality in this case.

I love your take on Marcia! I love that she’s an expert liar, which fits well with the story-telling side she showed at the drive-in. She’s got a rebel streak, which again, makes sense with what we know from the drive-in scene … I mean, she did flirt with a dangerous greaser and give him her number! And I love that she’s got her daddy wrapped around her finger lol.

I found it interesting that she and Cherry broke apart. It reminded me a lot of the way Jaime acted in “Tex”, with the whole best friend switching thing. I think it makes sense with what we know about Cherry from the movie, and with the way that Marcia acts here.

I really liked the way you wrote Two-Bit, it was very smart and funny, and yet very gentle and very teasing, the way I imagine Two-Bit would be with a girl. I love this:

“You should know that whether or not you come with me, your books are skippin’ class today. They think you ought to, too.”

That’s hilarious! So Two-Bit.

A couple small things:

“The low crooning of Elvis on the radio was drown out by their heavy breathing as they came up for air.”

Drown should be “drowned”.

And “Soc”, “Socy”, and “Socs” should all be capitalized. Trying to make a point? =P

Nice one-shot. I did always want to read something about Two-Bit and Marcia at the drive-in, and I’m glad you wrote it!

I belive that this is a great story. I like that two-bit is honest with himself. I wish he wasn't that guy but so does marcia.
thanks

I'm so glad you finally posted this! I love it so much. You could still turn it into a story ... Just saying.

This also gives me an idea for Tender. We could nix the redhead idea ...

I love, love, love this so very much. I especially like the coupling, which is just adorable, but I really, really like you you tied the beginning and end together. That's great writing, right there!

Wow, I've never seen anything like this done before! And I really like it, the way they interact with eachother, they way she giggles, and he tells the jokes, and sometimes she'll say something real good.

I don't know what I'm saying, lol. I just really enjoyed the way the story was written, you can really get a full mental picture of what happened.

The whole twist with the cop being Marcia's dad was really funny, too.

I really liked it, great work on this one. Love to see more from you soon!

"Anyone Else But You" by the Moldy Peaches is going in the background; that your fic = I'm feeling really bubbly right now.

Two-Bit is spot-on. I was giggling practically every time he opened his mouth, and when he stole Marcia's books. I like Marcia, too: not "cut from the same cloth" as Cherry at all (I really like your spin on their relationship -- like Queen Jane said, they tend to be paired as BFFs but I see them more as friends because of circumstance, or social politics), and sweet but not angelic. The chemistry between them was awesome. We need more sexytime!Two-Bit around these parts.

The ending was just right, too -- realistic, but not a downer at all.

Great one-shot. Happy GFB-Day!

This was terrific, I really liked it a lot. :)

It's interesting to me that you would write Cherry and Marcia as not really being friends anymore. I guess when I first read the book I kind of pictured them being pretty close, but now as I've gotten older it just seems to me like they weren't really that close after all; they sound more like mutual friends or casual acquaintances than anything, and maybe they never really hung out together outside of dates with their boyfriends. I just thought it was interesting because a lot of people seem to write them like they're BFF and I just don't see them that way.

I liked the end a lot, too, and I love that Marcia was able to see past the greaser facade, even if their relationship doesn't hold much hope for working out.

Oh, and I also loved this: “A socy girl?” Steve asked incredulously.

Pony shrugged. “Who knows? It’s Two-Bit.”

Steve walked along beside him, glancing over his shoulder every few steps. “But she ain’t even blonde.”

Lol, that was great. :D

Anyway, great job. I'm adding this to my faves because I liked it so much. :)

Peace,
Queen Jane

That was great. I like that you made Two-Bit funny without being too over-the-top with it. His chemistry with Marcia was terrific and I really liked your version of her. I like that she isn't necessarily your typical Soc - that she's really one by default. I also like the fact that she and Cherry are no longer friends because they no longer have the connection of their boyfriends. That feels very true to Cherry's character.
