Ponyboy!
I woke the next morning, and groaned. I really didn't want to go to school but I did. You know, I have a new friend now, and it would be a little rude if I said, "See you at school," and didn't show up, right? Soda shook me yellin'
"Pony, get up.....school, don't'ch wanna see Babydoll?!?!" I shot up at her name.
"Well, yeah.....she's my only friend at school." I groaned tiredly, wile I spoke.
"Come'on Ponyboy, don't wanna miss the bus...." Darry said, smiling, he was really happy this morning. I jumped up and went to brush my teeth, I got dressed into some blue jeans, and a white t-shirt.
"The bus is here!" Soda yelled, and I garbed my book's, hugged my brothers, and rushed out the door just on time.
On the bus, I couldn't find a place to sit. It was like when laws were against blacks. All the Soc's sat in the front of the bus, and us greasers had to sit in the back. Then I spotted her, and her sister Emma. Her long black hair pulled up in a perfect ponytail. Her brown-violet eyes shining, she looked right at me. When I got close, I saw she wore a skirt, and white t-shirt too. Yesterday she wore jeans and a leather jacket with a pink shirt. Her hair was down in long, but cute curls. Her sister Emma sat next to her, her dark brown hair, short and scrunched, and her green eyes sparkling. Yesterday it was long, and strait, she wore pj's. I laughed to myself, today she wore, a skirt, and pink t-shirt. I sat next to Babydoll,
"Good morning." I greeted her.
"Morning!" She chirped, two Soc's turned around. I sank in the seat. Then it happened,
"Take a picture Soc, it'll last longer!" Babydoll said in anger.
"Babydoll, I don't think that's a good idea." I pointed out, she wasn't scared of anything.
"Like you could do better...." The Soc snapped.
"I know I can!" Babydoll retorted.
"Oh, yeah....what's your GPA you greaser.....?" The Soc, snapped, and I hid my face.
"4.0," Babydoll snapped, I couldn't believe my ears. That's the highest GPA that a high school student can have! And mine was only 3.6, it was the second highest in school; now. The Soc didn't reply so I figured that was it, but then they hit Babydoll out of the blue! I jumped, and she jumped too, but she just jumped onto the Soc. Oh shoot! I thought, and I helped Emma pull her off the Soc, who was screaming,
"Get this crazy girl off me! Stupid greaser!" I wanted to let Babydoll continue to beat 'em up when I heard that, but the scene was getting bad. By the time we got Babydoll off, she had a busted lip, and the Soc was almost balllin'.
"This ain't over Hood!" The Soc yelled.
"Good, you shouldn't start fights on the school bus anyway!" Babydoll yelled.
"Me?...." The Soc let it drop, and turned around.
"I think I gave her a black eye." Babydoll said satisfied. "Stupid Soc...." She mumbled wiping the blood from her lip. She also had blood on her shirt, Emma helped her clean it up.
When we got to school everyone that was on our bus was real quiet, and they stared at Babydoll, she didn't mind though, I think she likes the attention. We could hear whispers of.
"She gave her a black eye," and
"Wow, don't start a fight with her..." Babydoll smiled, and walked into the school under her own power to spite her busted lip. It was amazing how one girl greaser could be so fearless.
At the end of the day, we all walked to the lot. We met Johnny and Dally there.
"Hey Pony, what's up? Who are the chicks?" Dally asked, and Babydoll stared,
"I'm Babydoll, this is my sister Emma." She smiled.
"What happened to your lip?" Dally asked her.
"Asked Ponyboy, if I talk about it-I'll wanna go jump that stupid Soc whore." Babydoll said, and I tilted my head before speaking.
"Well," I began wary. " We were on the bus, and Babydoll got a little loud, this Soc was staring at her. Babydoll told her to take a picture it would last longer, she Soc and her were at it......finally the Soc punched Babydoll, gave her that busted lip. So, Babydoll jumped her, and blacked her eye, me and Emma had to pull her off. And it's her first day of school....." I trailed off, Dally's eyes were wide stricken with awe.
"Well, nice to met a greaser girl who's not afraid to fight." Dally laughed, "That is rare."
"Yeah, she's not scared of anything...." Emma mentioned, I chuckled.
"I noticed." Johnny, suddenly stood close to Babydoll.
"Well, you can protect me from that stupid Soc Bob," he whimpered. Babydoll laughed,
"Your alright Johnny, alright." Babydoll hugged him, comforting him, he smiled.
"Your a good friend ain't ya?" Dally asked, I nodded.
"She sure is, she almost jumped an other Soc today for pushing me down, but I told her it was fine..." Dally play slapped my arm.
"You shoulda let her beat 'em up Pony." Dally chuckled.
"What, and get the Fuzz on us.....no way, not unless it's a rumble." I said, my eyes serious.
"Alright then...." Emma broke the silence. "Me and Babydoll gatta get home, see you guys tomorrow." She waved, and Babydoll stayed behind.
"Ponyboy, thanks for not letting me get in trouble like that...." Babydoll thanked me and kissed my cheek, I blushed. She skipped off, and caught up to Emma.
"Wow-dude, you lucky dog!" Dally teased. "Her and that perfect black hair pulled in a nice ponytail. Shoo...."
"Hush up Dally, it's nothing...." I lied, she was really cute, and I liked her.
"Alright, we should go Dal." Johnny said, I looked up, my blush was gone.
"Were you going Johnnycake?" I asked, he shrugged.
"Anywhere." He sighed.
"Come stay with me." I smiled, they stood.
We came back at ten-forty five, and Darry had super made.
"You bring Dally and Johnny with you?" Soda asked, I sighed.
"Yeah, sure did, they needed a place to stay." I smiled once more.
"Oh yeah, he failed to mention about the almost two fights at school between Babydoll and this stuck up Soc. He also didn't say he got kissed." Dally teased, Two-Bit and Steve were there.
"What? Pony got kissed?" Two-Bit asked, I shrugged.
"Ah, it ain't a big deal, it was a kiss, on my cheek; that's all it was...." I pointed out blushing.
"Oh, Ponyboy....who was it?" Darry asked,
"I-It was B-Babydoll..." I stammered. Everyone joked, and teased until dinner was over.
Soda flopped down on the bed tired, and restless.
"Night Pony." He smiled, and turned over.I sleep soundly, and a peaceful dream about me, Mom, Dad, Soda, and Darry crossed my mind.
“Daddy, do I look ok?” Grace asks. I put down my newspaper to look at my 15 year old daughter. Wow.
“You look beautiful, sweetheart.” It pained me to see her going on her first date. But I was smiling.
“I’ll be good, Daddy, I promise.”
I grin. Exactly what her mother said to her dad on our first date.
“I know.” I manage to say. “You’re a good kid.”
“Not like Faith,” Grace grins. Oh my Faith. Nine years old and already had a “boyfriend”. She was completely hilarious.
“Not like Faith.” I smile.
I get up off the couch to give her a hug.
“I love you Daddy.”
“Love you too, sweetheart.”
“You’re still going to be the first boy I fell in love with.”

Darry’s P.O.V
“Daddy?” Danny asks from the back seat. He was six now, and Olivia was one.
“What happened to your mommy and daddy?” He asks.
I don’t answer for a minute, just keep driving. What do I say?
“My mommy and daddy are hanging out in heaven.” Is all I can think of to say.
“They’re partying with Jesus?” Danny asks. “That’s cool!”
“Yeah, bud,” I smile. “Partying with Jesus.”
“Yes I do.” She says in that you’ve-told-me-a-million-times voice.
“Ok… Well are you sure you want to do this?” I ask nervously.
“I’m positive.” She says as she gives me a quick kiss on the lips.
“I swear, if you hurt yourself…” I shake my head.
The motorcycle starts, and goes forward. Instead of going with the motorcycle., she flips off backwards from it.
I immediately rush to (Y/N).
“Oh my god, (Y/N), are you ok? Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?” I say, head spinning. If she’s hurt badly I’ll just…
“Dally I’m fine.. The motorcycle-“
“Steve can fix the motorcycle. Are you ok? Where are you hurt? Do we need to go to the hospital?”
“Dally I’m fine!” She laughs.
“You worry me,” I say, as I scoop her into a hug.
You aren’t exactly sure what you’re humming to… But it’s something.
“Hey, (Y/N), have you seen my-” “THUD!” You rip open the shower curtain to see your boyfriend had tripped over the doorway.
“Oh my god, Two-Bit, are you ok?!?” You gasp.
He looks up at you. “Oh my god you’re in the shower!” He yells.
You yank the curtain back, covering yourself up.
“Two-Bit, are you ok honey?”you ask.
“After seeing that I’m not.” He says. “Damn, your beautiful.” He says, blushing.
“What a pig.” You laugh.
“(Y/N), please stay out of this.” Darry says, eyes still locked on his younger brother.
“She has a point.” Ponyboy snorts.
“Don’t use that tone with me, young man.” Darry says, voice raised.
“Who went and made you dad?” Ponyboy asked, shrugging his shoulders.
“You take that back.” Darry says, lunging for Ponyboy.
They start beating up on each other, nothing serious. Brothers will be brothers.
“Hey! Knock it off!” You say, trying to separate them on the ground.
Smack!
You fall back, the hit getting you hard.
The boys freeze, realizing they’ve hit you.
“Ow!” You say. “That was my boob!”
They burst out laughing.
“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” You say as you remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s more like an egg.” You say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, you need to get out of there.” You say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. Or me. I just don’t like seeing you hurt.” You whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.
“What?” He asks, glancing over at you.
“You’re gonna get pulled over,” you say, rolling your eyes.
“Do you think I’d care?” He laughed.
“Dallas Winston, I am shocked and appalled you just said that to me and ran that red light.” You laugh. “I’m horrified at your driving skills. Remind me not to get into a car with you again.”

Light cracked the sky open. The crash that followed jolted you awake. You sit up in your bed, wide eyed with fear.
You had been afraid of thunderstorms since you were little… something about it just frightened you to no end.
The sound of your boyfriend breathing calmed you down. The rhythmic deep breathing soothed you, only for a second.
Another crack lit up the sky, with a giant boom that followed.
“Dally.” you shake your boyfriend awake.
“Babe… what’s the ma-” He stops as he sees your eyes, wide with fear. He sits up straight and wraps his arms around you pulling you close. “You’re fine… You’re fine.” He whispers, rocking you back and forth. “I got you. I promise. I got you.” Hands running through your hair.
“I just don’t like them.” You mumble into his bare chest.
“I know. I know.” He say. “But I still got you. I promise.”
But you were already asleep again.
