Ponyboy's P.O.V.

Mom and Dad never approved of me trick or treatin', they were worried about me. They didn't want me to get jump or get hurt. Instead we had small parties in our house, with the gang of course. My parents died in a car wreck that means no more parties in our house. On Halloween, the gang separates and go to their other friend's party. Johnny wanted to go trick or treatin' this year with the gang. I made him ask them and they said yes. I was pretty sure they just said that, to make Johnny feel better, I don't really think they'd be dressing up.

** two weeks before Halloween

I really didn't know what to dress up as, considering the fact that it was the first time. So I decided to ask the gang about their costumes. "Soda what are ya gonna dress up as?"

" A Greek God come to earth dressed in a DX uniform." he said with one of his rare grin.

"Steve?" I asked, hopefully finding some ideas.

"I'm gonna put some grease all over my body and bring some car tools with me." Steve said smiling. This was why him and Soda are such good buddies..

" And I was hoping, Two-Bit here would dress up as a car so I can fix him." Steve said laughing his head off.

"Glory! I'd look stupid in a car suit" Two-Bit said in a serious tone. "I'm taking this seriously"

Finally! I thought, Some ideas!

"What are ya gonna be?" I asked.

"The coolest costume in the world!, MIIIIICKEYYY MOOOOOOUUSSSSEEE!" Two-bit yelled. Judging on how the way he looked, I know that he was pretty serious. Everyone was laughing at the wise cracker. I should've known that he was gonna be Mickey Mouse.

"I don't get it. What's funny?" Two-Bit asked scratching his head.

"I'm gonna be a gallant Southern gentlemen" Johnny spoke up.

I smiled. Johnny still remembered 'Gone with the wind'. I used to read that book to him when he gets beat up.

"What about you Dal?" Johnny questioned.

Dally was smoking as usual. "This dress up thing suppose to be scary?"

"Yeah, if you want to" I asked, suddenly curious.

"Okay then" Dally confirmed. "It's settled I'm dressing up as ME."

"Dal, I'm sure you're scary and all but I don't think yourself counts." Two-Bit said as he cocked an eyebrow.

"Looks like me, Soda, Steve and Dally have some thinking to do." I told them with a sigh.

Two-Bit looked up at me from the TV. " Think no more!, Pony you can be Minnie, Soda can be Goofy, Steve can be Donald and Dally'l be Pluto. 'bout that, huh?" Two-bit suggested proudly like it was the best idea in the world... Maybe in his world it was.

"Shoot! I'd rather be dressed up as a Soc and while I'm out there I'll trash they're party" I said jokingly. I was laughing pretty hard at my joke when it came to me that I was the only one laughing.

I looked at Dally who was smiling dangerously. He looked up at me and said "I might actually enjoy this year's Halloween."

Johnny and I went white.
