Ch. 4 Can you take me home?

Danny finished doing his business. He washed his hands, dried them off on his pants, and left the restroom. He looks forward, and his bright blue eyes blink when he sees Ronnie interacting with the Scorpions.

Danny's bright blue eyes narrowed, looking conflicted when he saw Ronnie and Leo smiling at each other.

" Ronnie!" Danny shouts, grabbing the group's attention.

Ronnie turns and smiles when she sees Danny approaching her and the Scorpions.

" Hey, Danny! Good that you are here. I am still waiting for the food. I was worried I had to carry everything if you didn't come out," Ronnie giggled.

Danny stood beside Ronnie and smiled. He wraps his arm around his girlfriend's waist and looks at Leo from head to toe.

" Crater-Face," Danny firmly speaks.

" Zuko," Leo sternly greeted.

Andy, Josh, and Ollie stood behind Leo, looking at Danny threateningly.

Ronnie's deep blue eyes blinked, looking at Danny and Leo with raised eyebrows.

" You two know each other?" Ronnie asked.

" You two know each other?" Danny glanced at Ronnie.

" Vonnie doesn't have to answer if she knows me," Leo looks at Danny.

Danny glares at Leo.

Ronnie opens her mouth to say something but stops when she hears the employee saying Danny's name, letting her know their order is ready.

" Our order is ready. Go get our food, Danny," Ronnie ushered Danny to the counter.

Danny looks away from Leo, walks towards the counter, and grabs his and Ronnie's orders.

Ronnie turns to Leo.

" It was nice seeing you, Leo. Will you be working at the Boutique this summer?" Ronnie asked, looking curious.

" Are you?" Leo looks at Ronnie.

Ronnie nodded.

" Then I'll see you this summer," Leo smiled.

" Sweet! Since Richie isn't working at the Boutique anymore. We need all the muscle this summer," Ronnie dramatically shows off her arm muscle.

Leo amusingly chuckled.

Danny turns and looks at Ronnie and Leo.

" Let's go, Ronnie," Danny calls out.

" Coming!" Ronnie shouts. " Bye, Leo! Also, it was nice meeting you, Ollie, Josh, and Andy!" She waves goodbye. She turns and walks away with Danny.

Leo watched Ronnie and Danny walk away, causing Andy, Josh, and Ollie to look worryingly at their best friend and Gang Leader.

" I didn't like how he spoke to Vonnie," Leo firmly says. " Cigar," He holds his hand out to the Scorpions.

Andy pulls out a cigar and hands it to Leo. Ollie pulls out a lighter and lights the cigar.

Leo puts the cigar in his mouth and begins to smoke. He glanced at the Scoprions and asked them if they ordered their meals.

" Josh did!" Ollie commented while Josh nodded.

" Good," Leo takes out the cigar and puffs out smoke. He looks at the crowd with mixed emotions.

' If Zuko ever makes Vonnie cry, I am going to kill him,' Leo internally speaks.

Ronnie and Danny walked through the crowd to Kenickie's car. Danny unlocks the car, and the two teens get inside the vehicle.

Danny begins to eat his food and drink in silence. Ronnie looked at Danny with a raised eyebrow.

" Danny," Ronnie calls out.

" Hm?" Danny glanced at Ronnie with the movie playing in the background.

" Why did you call Leo Crater-Face?" Ronnie asked, looking at Danny curiously.

" Oh. You two are first name bases?" Danny responded.

" He's my friend, Danny," Ronnie glares.

" From the way he looked at you doesn't seem like a friend," Danny remarked.

Ronnie looked at Danny in disbelief.

" Our Mom knows each other, Danny!" Ronnie shouts. " That's how I know Leo!" She couldn't help but feel offended.

" You're beautiful, Ronnie. I don't like it when other guys look at you differently," Danny defended himself.

" Leo knows that you are my boyfriend," Ronnie shakes her head, getting angry.

" Good. If I ever see Crater-Face near you again. There is going to be trouble," Danny looked away from Ronnie and started to watch the movie.

Ronnie's deep blue eyes widened, looking at Danny in disbelief.

" You cannot control who I can and cannot see, Danny Zuko!" Ronnie shouts. " You know what. Let's take a break. I'm not too fond of this behavior of yours. I want you to figure out what you did wrong! You can find me at my house or the Boutique when you do. Since this whole summer, I will be busy working and trying to get my Driver's license." She unbuckles her seat, opens the passenger door, and exits the car.

" Ronnie! Where are you going?" Danny shouts, grabbing Ronnie's right wrist tightly.

" Home! And let go of me, Zuko. You are hurting me!" Ronnie tugs her right arm from Danny's grasp.

" I can't let you go! I promise Richie I'd bring you home before midnight," Danny pulls Ronnie to him, causing her to drop her food.

Tears welled up in Ronnie's deep blue eyes, getting scared since Danny was more muscular than her.

" If a guy ever makes you uncomfortable, Ronnie, elbow that guy on the face." Ronnie heard nineteen-year-old Edward 'Shy Guy' Hoffman's voice in the back of her head.

" I said, LET GO OF ME!" Ronnie shouts and elbows Danny's face, causing him to let go of her.

Danny immediately covered his nose as he fell against the Driver's door.

Tears fell from Ronnie's deep blue eyes. Ronnie turns and runs away from Kenickie's car, feeling scared and angry.

' I want to go home. There should be a phone booth at the Snack Bar,' Ronnie internally speaks while running.

Leo heard Josh's name, letting him know their order was ready. He watched Josh and Ollie walk toward the counter to grab their food and drinks.

Andy was smoking when his dark brown eyes blinked when he saw Ronnie running towards the Snack Bar with tears falling from her deep blue eyes. He elbowed Leo, causing the other male to look at him with a raised eyebrow.

" It's your girl, and she's crying," Andy whispered while motioning Leo to Ronnie.

Leo turns and sees Ronnie running, tears falling from her deep blue eyes. His hands tightened into fists, getting angry, thinking that Danny must have done something to make her cry.

Ronnie looks forward and sees Leo with the Scorpions.

" Leo!" Ronnie runs towards Leo, and she hugs him tightly.

Ollie and Josh turned and were about to call out to Leo, but they stopped when Andy gave them a look. They blinked when they saw Ronnie crying and hugging their best friend and Gang Leader.

" Leo. I want to go home!" Ronnie cries.

Leo looked at the crowd angrily, wanting to kill Danny. But he stopped when he heard Ronnie telling him to take her home.

" I'll take you home." Leo lets go of Ronnie, removes his Scorpion jacket, and puts it over her Pink Lady Jacket.

Ronnie hugs Leo's Scorpion Jacket tightly since it looks big on her. She glanced at Andy, Ollie, and Josh and stared at them shyly, embarrassed for crying.

Leo noticed and looked at his best friends.

Andy noticed the look and nodded. He turned and motioned Ollie and Josh to walk away, and the three Scorpions left.

" Let's get going," Leo placed his hand on Ronnie's back, ensuring he did not touch her. " My car is not that far from here," He escorts her to his car.

" I'm sorry for ruining your guys' night," Ronnie apologizes while walking with Leo to his car.

" You didn't ruin it. You are a dear friend, Ronnie. And the guys would understand that," Leo reassured.

Leo unlocks his car, opens the passenger's door, and puts his hand on the top of the door so that Ronnie doesn't hit her head.

" Thank you," Ronnie gets inside the car and puts on the seatbelt.

Leo closed the passenger's door, walked around the car, opened the Driver's door, and entered. He closed the Driver's door and put on his seatbelt.

" Are you hungry? We can stop by Frosty Palace," Leo turns on his car to warm up the engine.

Ronnie opened her mouth to say something but stopped when she heard her stomach growl.

" Frosty Palace sounds good right now," Ronnie softly speaks.

Leo nodded and began to drive the car out of the Drive-In.

Ronnie looked out the window, sniffing and hugging Leo's jacket tightly.

Leo frequently looked at Ronnie throughout the drive to Frosty Palace. He frowned. He didn't like seeing Ronnie cry or upset because it broke his heart.

Thirty minutes later, Leo and Ronnie arrived at Frosty Place. Leo parks the car, exits the vehicle, walks around, opens the passenger's door, and puts his hand on the door.

Ronnie unbuckles the seat belt and gets out of the car. She hugged Leo's jacket tightly since it was getting cold. She looked at her surroundings and saw that the sky was pitch black, letting her know it was nighttime.

Leo closed the passenger's door and locked the car. He walks beside Ronnie and heads inside Frosty Palace with her.

Ronnie enters Frosty Palace, and her stomach growls when she smelt the familiar scent of hamburgers and milkshakes. She looked at her surroundings, seeing teens her age and families conversing, eating, and having fun.

" Hello! Welcome to Frosty Palace," A waitress greets Ronnie and Leo. " Here to eat or plan to order something on the go?" She asked.

" We are here to eat. Is there a table for two?" Leo asked while looking at the waitress.

" Let me see!" The waitress gracefully skated through the restaurant and smiled when she spotted an empty table with two seats. She glides back to Leo and Ronnie.

" We have a table! Follow me, please," The waitress turns and escorts Leo and Ronnie to a table.

" Thank you," Ronnie softly smiled.

" You welcome! Here are the menus," The waitress points to two menus on a stand. " I'll be back to ask you for your orders," She skates away to interact with other customers.

Leo grabs a chair and pulls it back so that Ronnie can sit. He watched Ronnie sit. He walks around the table and sits across from her.

Ronnie grabs the menu and looks at it with a thoughtful expression.

Leo grabs the menu and looks at it but frequently stares at Ronnie to check up on her.

" You don't have to answer this question. But what happened at the Drive-In? Did Zuko do something to you that made you uncomfortable?" Leo asked.

Ronnie looked at the menu and glanced at her right wrist from the corner of Leo's jacket, where Danny held it tightly. Due to her pale skin, she saw her wrist get red and bruised, which worried her.

" We got into an argument," Ronnie looked at Leo. " He was acting like a child. Telling me who I can and cannot hang out with," She shakes her head.

Leo's brown eyes intently stared at Ronnie's deep blue eyes.

" I'm sorry if I caused some misunderstanding," Leo apologized.

Ronnie's deep blue eyes widened.

" You didn't do anything wrong!" Ronnie puts the menu down and grabs Leo's hands.

Leo looked at their hands, and his brown eyes blinked when he saw one of Ronnie's pale wrists get red and bruised.

" Zuko hurt you?" Leo asked while looking at Ronnie's right wrist with mixed emotions.

Ronnie opened her mouth to say something but stopped when she saw the waitress skate to their table. She quickly pulled her hands back to her side.

" Hello! What would you two like to drink?" The waitress asked.

Leo looked at Ronnie.

" A Strawberry Milkshake, please," Ronnie says while looking at the waitress.

" How about you, Sir?" The waitress asked while looking at Leo.

" I want the same as her," Leo responded while looking at Ronnie.

" Two Strawberry Milkshakes got it! What would you like to eat?" The waitress asked.

" Two hamburgers with a side of curly fries," Ronnie said when she saw that Leo wasn't looking at the waitress.

" Two hamburgers with a side of curly friends. Okay. I shall return shortly with your orders," The waitress smiled and skated from their table.

" I cannot believe that asshole hurt you," Leo hissed. " I'm going to kill him," He stands, but Ronnie stops him by grabbing his white shirt.

" Don't! Stay here, please. I don't want to be alone," Ronnie worriedly looked at Leo.

Leo's brown eyes intently stared at Ronnie's deep blue eyes.

" Alright," Leo nodded.

Leo sits back down and plays with salt and pepper packets to distract himself. His head was currently thinking of ways to kill Danny for hurting Ronnie.

" After we eat, can you take me home?" Ronnie softly asked while looking at Leo shyly.

Leo's brown eyes blinked, and lifts his head, seeing Ronnie looking at him.

" Hm? Sorry. My head was somewhere else right now. What did you say?" Leo asked.

" I said. After we eat, can you take me home?" Ronnie asked.

" Of course. I'll drop you off," Leo smiled.

" Thank you," Ronnie smiled.

Several minutes later, the food and drinks arrived, and the two teens started to eat, and they conversed to distract themselves from what happened at the Drive-In.
