Ok, here's a one shot of how Johnny and Ponyboy met. I hope you like it!

Disclaim- I do not own anything

Ponyboy ceased playing with his action figures that he had received for his fifth birthday. He looked up into the yard across the street to see a big semi truck turning into a driveway down the street. It was a moving truck. He got up and ran inside.

"Mom! Come outside! Aliens is here! Hurry! Come on!" he screamed from the doorway. Mrs. Curtis came to the doorway and looked outside.

"Aliens? Where'd you get that crazy idea?" she picked Ponyboy up and held him and kissed his head.

"Soda told me those big trucks had aliens in them." He pointed to the moving truck.

"Ohh, I see. I'll need to have a little chat with Soda. You just go on playing." Ponyboy went back out into the yard. Then, a dirty little blue car pulled up behind that moving truck. A man, woman, and child got out. Naturally, Pony wanted to go see who the kid was. He got up and ran down the street as fast as his little legs would carry him.

He got down the road, action figures still in hand. He went up to the Dark haired boy and said,

"Hi!" The little boy's eyes got huge and he stayed quiet. "I said hi! I'm Ponyboy wanna be friends?" he was fidgeting with his hands.

"Hi. I'm Johnny." He said quietly. "Ponyboy is a funny name." Pony's face scrunched up and he said,

"Is not!" Johnny giggled.

"I'm seven."

"I am five! My brother Soda is seven! You can come over and meets him!" Johnny looked back at the house.

"Okay. But I gotta aks my mom first."

"Yeah, me too. You can come over in a minute." Pony started heading home while Johnny went inside. Pony struggled opening the door, but made it and ran inside. His mother was in the kitchen fixing lunch and he tugged at her pants.

"Momma! Can Johnny come over? Pa-lease?" she laughed a little.
"Sure, baby, but who's Johnny?" Ponyboy pointed to the truck across the street. "Oh, so the neighbors have kids?"

"Yep. Can he? Please? Please? Please?"

"I don't see why not. We can have him for lunch.

"Yippee!!" Ponyboy yelled. He ran halfway across the street and met Pony. He had seen that Johnny had been crying.

"Yous okay, Johnny?" he wiped his eyes.

"Yes, I'm okay." He rubbed a big bruise on his arm and a scratch that was bleeding to go with it. Pony's eyes got big.

"What happened?"

"It was my dad." Johnny didn't know any better than to tell their secret, and thought it would be fine to share with his new friend.

"Your daddy did this to you?"

"Yeah, but I don't think I was supposed to tell you."

"Oh. You wanna come eat lunch at my house? My mom is making peanut butta jelly! And cookies!" Johnny's eyes widened.

"I love cookies!" Pony started jumping up and down.

"Me too!" They raced each other to the house and Ponyboy won. They got inside, and they ran into Mrs. Curtis, making it official who really won. They both burst out into giggles, and Ponyboy leaned on Johnny's arm.

"Ow! My arm! Watch out, Ponyboy!" Johnny said, looking at his arm. It was still bleeding a little. Mrs. Curtis looked down and said,

"Hello, Johnny, nice to meet you! I'm Mrs. Curtis." She looked at his arm."Oh, my! What happened to you?" he looked around, and made something up.

"I fell in the street!"

"Would you like a band-aid?" Johnny nodded his head. She headed down the hallway and Ponyboy asked him,

"Why did you lie to my momma? "

"I told you, I wasn't apossed to tell you! You can't tell no one! Spit on it." Johnny spit on his hand and stuck it out. Ponyboy did the same.

"Okay."

"Ponyboy, you're my best friend."

"You're my best friend too, Johnny."

Okay, I tried to make it cute. Tell me what you think of it! Review!
