Part 1: Nightmares

(Based in 2015)

Pony suddenly sat up in bed and was sweating heavily, he stared straight ahead. He sighed and rubbed his eyes, he knew he wasn't going to fall back asleep anytime soon. He looked over at his older brother Sodapop, simply watching him sleep. Soda always helped Pony fall back asleep so he went to wake Soda up. Pony shook Soda,

"Soda?" Pony said softly and shook a bit harder, Soda rolled over onto his side.

"Soda." Pony stated louder and shook him more.

Soda opened his eyes halfway but was obviously not awake, he just blankly looked at Pony with drool on his chin.

"Shut your ass," Soda said sleepily and then closed his eyes again.

Pony sat there with a shocked look on his face, his mouth was agape at what Soda had just uttered at him. Pony got a scowl on his face and punched Soda. The older boy woke up and violently jumped, tumbling onto the floor.

"PONY, WHY? THAT IS THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL!" Soda yelled and crawled back onto the bed.

"YOU TOLD ME TO SHUT MY ASS!" Pony yelled back and hit Soda with his pillow.

"NO I DIDN'T!" Soda argued and hit Pony with his pillow, smiling evilly when Pony glared at him.

"I tried to wake you up because I was having trouble falling back asleep because of a nightmare and you looked me straight in the eyes and told me to shut my ass!" Pony said with some sadness in his tone and hit Soda with the pillow.

"I'm sorry Pone, I wasn't with it." Soda muttered defensively and put his pillow down.

"You better be sorry because I wasn't going to shut my ass anyway." Pony said while crossing his arms over his chest.

"You still need help getting back to sleep?" Soda said while moving closer to his little brother, Pony nodded.

"Well, let's calm down now and try to get you back to sleep." Soda muttered while laying down and opening his arms to Pony.

Pony snuggled up to Soda and hugged his older brother, smiling warmly. Soda kissed Pony on the top of his head and began to hum a lullaby, Pony sighed happily and let his eyes flutter shut. Soda stopped humming and smiled at his sleeping younger brother, he placed a kiss on Pony's head.

"I love you, Pony.." Soda muttered tiredly and yawned, he slowly drifted back to sleep.

-The next morning-

Pony was up before Soda which was surprising, Soda laid in bed and was most likely still asleep. Darry kept trying to wake Soda but usually failed, until at some point he got some sort of response.

"Soda, you have to get up for work." Darry muttered softly and Soda looked at Darry.

"Shut your ass." Soda muttered and rolled over.

Darry stared blankly at Soda and was unable to respond to what his kid brother had just said to him. Soda rolled back over to look at Darry and noticed the look his older brother was giving him.

"I'm sorry, I'll get ready right away." Soda stated and stood up, Darry gave one final look and walked out of the room.

Soda sighed and Pony walked into the room, laughing at his older brother.

"I swear, Darry near about killed you for sayin' that to him, especially you know he's usually in a mood in the mornin'. " Pony muttered while grabbing his jacket and sliding it on.

Soda groaned while making his way to the bathroom for a shower.

"Pony, shut it, you know you're usually the one he gives that look to." Soda stated factually and Pony scowled at him.

"It was just nice to see him look at you that way this time is all." Pony muttered while walking into the living room.

Soda chuckled to himself and closed the bathroom door. Soda took his shower quickly and then was out within seconds. Soda pulled on his shirt but didn't bother to button it.

Soon, Soda had to leave for work and so he walked toward the front door and Pony stood behind him.

"Bye Soda," Pony hugged his older brother, "Thank you for helping me fall back asleep."

Soda smiled warmly and hugged his younger brother back,

"It's not a big deal, you know i'm always there for you." Soda muttered and stepped onto the porch.

"I'll see you later, Soda." Pony muttered and waved at him.

Soda waved back at Pony, "See you later." Soda said while walking to the DX.

Sorry this is so short but the future ones will be longer, this was just a bit of an introduction. I hope you enjoy!
