I had this idea for a long time now and I just wanted to see if I could actually write it down and have it made into a pretty good story. Anyway, thanks for reading!!!
"Pony! What on earth happened to you?" I saw my kid brother sitting on the sidewalk along with my older brothers Darry and Soda. "Are you okay?" I kneeled down and tried to see his face but he just brushed my hand away.
"Yeah I'm fine." I stared at my brother skeptically. He was bleeding pretty badly and anyone could tell he would have a bruise on his cheek soon.
"Aw layoff of him Anne, he ain't a baby, are ya Pon?" Soda was grinning like a crazy hyena which set off a chain of Pony smiling, then me. Darry just looked at us like he wanted to knock all of our heads together, but had a little grin of his own.
"Fine. I guess since none of ya are babies then I don't have to make dinner for ya'll either." I shot a smirk to Soda and Pon. I was the best cook in the house so if I was to stop we would be eating orange gruel and syrup because Soda would have to cook .Darry is always workin' so he wouldn't be able to. Before Soda had a comeback of his own, the rest of the gang was coming back. I already figured out that Pony was jumped by the Socs, so the guys most likely ran them off.
"Did ya'll get 'em?" Soda asked with a smile still plastered on his face.
"Nah, they ran faster then chickens with their heads cutoff!" Two-bit practically screamed laughing at his own joke. I was in stitches too. I loved Two-bit's jokes! Once we calmed down, the guys all sat on the sidewalk and me and Two-bit sat on top of a mailbox. I loved all the guys like brothers, but me and Two-bit are by far the closest. Probably because we have the same sense of humor.
"What were you doin' walkin' by your lonesome?" I rolled my eyes at Steve. He always brings up the wrong thing at the wrong time.
"I was comin' from the movie house when the Socs came…" Pony didn't like Steve that much and I think the feeling was mutual for Steve. Darry started on him next and Soda had to intervene. I hate when my brothers fight so I try not to get involved. I took a deep breath and sighed. I looked down the street to see if any Socs were coming back, although I knew they wouldn't be, it couldn't hurt to check.
"I thought you were in the cooler Dally." Pony's comment brought me back to the gang.
"Got out early for good behavior." Dal stretched and lit a cigarette. I snorted at his answer. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing except that was a complete lie." I smirked at him and turned to Pon. "It was a new judge and Dal told him some sob story about how his parents didn't care about him and he was just stealing the TV. so that his dad would be happy he had him for a change. He even let some tears flow!" The whole gang laughed, except Dally.
"Aw Dal, don't be sore at me now…" I got up from my spot and walked over to Dally and sat next to him. "I just hate it when you lie for no good reason." I put my arms around his neck and made my puppy face. He eyed me for about two seconds and laughed. I was the only one who knew how to make him laugh and it brought the tense away from the air that was there after my brothers fought. I smiled my cheeky smile and stood up. "Come on; let's go home before I miss Mickey Mouse."
Two-bit jumped up quick when I said Mickey. That was our favorite show! We all walked back to our house with me and Two-bit singing the Mickey Mouse theme song, arm and arm, the entire way there.
