" Happy birthday Ponyboy!" the said greaser heard his parents say before his blankets got stolen from him.
" Do I have to wake up now?" Ponyboy groaned.
" Nope get up Sodapop even cooked you a special breakfast!" Mrs. Curtis laughed at her son. He went to sleep rather early last night and was complaining at having to get up at 10:00 am. How much sleep does he need? A day's worth?
" Alright Ma..." Ponyboy smiled that Soda actually remembered his birthday. Sodapop barely could remember his! He hopped out of bed to the kitchen. Sodapop attacked an unsuspecting Ponyboy with a bear hug and spun him around
" Happy birthday Ponyboy! You finally turned 13 years old! How does it feel to be a teenager?"
" Two-Bit said I wouldn't be a teenager till I turned 14 though Soda..."
" Well thirteen has the word teen in it right?"
" Well yes..."
" So your a teenager!" Soda cheered," Sit down and I'll bring you some of my delicious breakfast!"
" Okay!"

After breakfast, Ponyboy got to open up presents. The Curtis family always opened them in the morning because they all were too curious to see what the others got them.
" Why don't you open Darry's up first?" suggested.
" Okay!" Darry handed Ponyboy a card. Pony opened it to find that it had fifty bucks in it and a card that said, "I didn't know what you liked so I thought you could find something for yourself."
" Thank you Darry!"
" I know its not much but I'll take you to the store later okay?" Darry promised
" Open up mine next Ponyboy!" Soda basically shoved the box in his face. unwrapping it, He saw Soda got him a pair of converse.
" Remember when we were at that shoe store? You wanted those shoes but didn't have enough money. I came back later and got them for you!"
" Really Soda? Thank you!" Ponyboy tried them on," They fit perfectly!" Mr. Curtis smiled and handed Ponyboy a heavy box with holes.
" This is from Me and your Mom." Ponyboy opened it to find a little puppy in it that was sleeping but woke up when Pony picked it up.
" A dog! I thought you said I couldn't have one!"
" Happy birthday little one."
