Chapter 1:

Soda POV:

It had been a long day at the DX, but it was 4:00 so Pony, Johnny and Two-Bit were visiting since it was after school.

"You have any homework Pone?" I asked him, god I was beginning to sound like Darry everyday.

"Math and English." He replied, taking a sip of his Pepsi.

"You should probably get it done before Darry gets home." I told him.

"Yeah I know."

"Hello? Excuse me could I get some service here?" someone asked.

"It's your turn." Steve said from his chair in the garage. I walked to the counter and looked up to see a beautiful girl. She had shoulder length chocolate brown hair with blonde highlights, and matching eyes. She was wearing a dark jean miniskirt, and a light blue tank top.

"Is that all?" I asked her after ringing up her coke and chips.

"Yeah."

"1 dollar." I told her.(A/N: I don't know how the prices were back then.)

"So you knew in town?" I asked her as she took out a dollar from her wallet.

"Yeah, I just moved here the other day." She told me. "I still have to learn my way around."

"If you want I could show you around." I offered.

"Sure, here's my address and phone number, how bout you pick me up tomorrow at 7:00?" she asked.

"Sure." I told her and she walked away.

"Oh, what's your name by the way?" she asked, after stopping at the door. Ah, the moment of truth.

"Sodapop."

"Cool, I'm Amy." She said and walked out.

"See kid, why don't you be more like Soda and ask a girl out already?" Steve told Pony from the doorway that lead to the garage.

"Lay off Steve, he's only fourteen and Johnny's sixteen and he don't got a girl. Pony's still got time." Two-Bit said.

"Thanks Two-Bit." Johnny said.

"No problem Johnnycakes." Two-Bit said with a huge grin, I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh at how clueless he was.

"Pony you should get home and start on that homework, Darry said he'd be home early today, oh and he said that there's no need to make dinner today cause he's taking us out. Something about having some news for us." I told him.

"Are we coming?" Two-Bit asked, with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Yeah Dar said he wants the whole gang there, and he said he's paying for everyone. So whoever sees Dally first tell him to be at the house at 6:00." I told them.

"Wait, Darry's paying for everyone?" Pony asked from his place at the door.

"That's what he said, but he wants your homework done first." I told him.

"Yeah, yeah." He said and walked out followed by Johnny.

Later on that day:

Pony POV:

Two-Bit was watching Mickey Mouse, Dally, Steve, and Soda were playing poker, and Johnny and I were playing a game of speed when Darry came home. He came throught the door wearing a huge grin and I knew something was up.

"Hey look, Superman got some at work finally. It's bout time." Steve joked.

"Ha, ha Steve. Come guys we gotta leave for the restaurant now if we're gonna make the reservations." He told us throwing me and Soda our coats.

"Where we going Dar?" Soda asked as he put on his jacket.

"Sam's diner." Darry said.

"Sam's Diner? Are you on crack, we can't afford that." Soda said, and he was right. Sam's diner wasn't a Soc place or nothing but it was the nicest Greaser restaurant in town.

"Just move it." Darry said and we all piled out of the house. Soda and I went with Darry on our truck, Steve went with Two-Bit and Johnny went with Dally in Buck's car. We got there 20 minutes later and ordered.

"So what's the big news Dar?" Two-Bit asked as we waited for our food to arrive.

"Well, today at work my boss called into his office and he told me that… I got a promotion." He told us with the same grin that he was wearing when he came home. "It's the same hours I work now but it's better money."

"That's great Dar!" everyone said.

"So I don't have to pay for my own beer anymore?" Two-Bit joked.

"So anything else happen today?" Darry asked.

"Soda got himself a new girl." Steve announced.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah she's new in town so I'm showing her around, but that's not a date." He said.

"It can be, depending on where you show her around." Dally said as he leaned back in his chair.

"Pony you should tell them your news." Johnny said to me, he tried to be quiet but Darry heard anyway.

"What news?" He asked.

"It's nothing." I said, fiddling with my shirt. It was great news but I wasn't so sure I wanted to tell everyone yet.

"What is it Pone? It's gotta be something if you didn't tell me at the DX." Soda said.

"Come on Ponyboy, if you don't tell them I will." Johnny urged me.

"Alright, today were track try-outs, and I made the A team." I told them.

"That's great Pone!" everyone told me.
