Fluffy
A/N: Okay, this idea came to me when I kept bugging my mom to buy me a kitten for Christmas. Since I'm not getting one I decided to write a short story about it. Enjoy the story. R&R! No kitty :( sniff, sniff. Soda's POV I think...oh well.
I walked out of the bathroom, dry my hair with a towel, it being wet from my shower. As I headed to the room Pony and I shared, I heard a noise. It came from the living room. Curious, I walked towards it, expecting to see Two-Bit watching Mickey Mouse on our tv. But when I entered the living room, the only person there was Pony. It looks like he's holding something.
"Hey Pony. Whatcha got there?" I asked nicely. He looked up at me, then looked down. He extended his hands to me.
"A kitty."
"Oh. Where'd you get it?"
"Two-Bit gave her to me."
"Did you ask Darry if you can keep it?"
"..."
"Pony."
"...Not really..."
"Pony, you know you're supposed to ask Darry about having pets in the house."
"I know, Soda. But she's so cute and fluffy. In fact I named her Fluffy. Besides, Two-Bit said he'd have to put her out if he didn't find an owner. And I couldn't let that happen..."
"Still. You should've asked Darry or me if you could keep it."
"It's not an 'it' she's and she. And I'm not getting rid of her."
He started petting the black and white kitten. She is cute, but I'll have to talk to Darry about it when he got home.
"Alright. You can keep her. But when Darry gets home you are asking him if you can keep it." Pony gave me a stern look. "Her." His face lightened up at that. He jumped off the couch and hugged me.
"Thanks a bunch Soda."
Almost as soon as he let go, Darry came walking in the door. He looked at me, then at Pony, then at the kitten, then at Pony again. Before I could say anything, Pony spoke up.
"Darry can I have this kitten? Please? Two-bit gave her to me today, along with all the stuff that she'll need. And I'll take good care of her! Please?" He gave Darry the puppy dog eyes. Darry looked at me.
"Did you know about this?"
"I just found out myself." I looked at Pony and Fluffy. "But c'mon Dar. Pony needs something to keep him company. And it might not be too bad with a kitten around."
Darry sighed in defeat. "Oh, alright. You can keep it. But you're gonna be taking care of it, Ponyboy Curtis. Do you hear me?"
I don't think Pony did hear him. He was grin like an maniac and snuggling Fluffy. I laughed.
"Thanks Dar. I'll take real good care of her." Fluffy mewed to that. And all went back to normal.
END
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. I really want a kitty for Christmas. :( Guess I'll have to do without.
