AN: This idea just popped into my head and I knew I had to write it down. Btw; Dally and Johnny are alive in this fanfic! Enjoy!
One week earlier
Darry POV
I sighed. I looked through the mail and all of it was bills.
Didn't they ever get tired of sending us bills? But as I headed to the kitchen, a piece of paper caught my eye.
I looked through the bills bundle and pulled out a paper that said "Fill out this survey and YOU might win a 2 week cruise around the Pacific Ocean!''
Well that's bullshit I thought. I crumpled the paper and started to go and get dinner ready.
Two hours later Pony came home from school with Johnny and Two-Bit.
"Hey Darry, what's for dinner!?" Pony hollered from the living room.
"Chicken and mashed potatoes!" I hollered back just as I finished cooking
and headed toward the living room. Two-Bit was glued to the tv watching
Mickey Mouse and Johnny and Pony were on the floor. "Johnny, you wanna
have dinner with us?" I asked knowing that Johnny's parents didn't feed him.
"It's okay Darry, I'll buy something' for myself. I don't want to interfere with
dinner." Johnny said a little quietly. "Johnny, you know damn well that
you're like family to us!'' I said firmly. "Alright. Thanks Darry." I smiled.
Thankfully he's not stubborn like Pony. "No problem kiddo.'' I ruffled his hair.
"Hey Darry, what's this?'' Pony asked as he took the crumpled paper from the floor.
"Oh it's just one of those stupid survey things." I said as I headed back to the kitchen.
"A cruise? Johnny, just imagine us on a cruise ship!'' I heard Pony talk to Johnny. "Dar, can I fill it out?'' Ponyboy suddenly asked as he entered the kitchen.
"Sure, knock yourself out kiddo. But don't get your hopes up. Those things are usually scams.'' I warned.
"Thanks Darry!'' Pony said excitedly as he went back to the living room.
I heard him and Johnny talk about how much fun a cruise ship would be. ''Hey would ya both shut up? I'm trying to watch Mickey!''
I heard Two-Bit yell. I chuckled. Good ole Two-Bit. "Darry, I'm going to go mail this!"
Pony yelled while going out to the porch. "Alright be back here by 6!" I warned.
I went back to cooking. I chuckled. Pony really thought we could win this cruise. We didn't have a chance.
But I was wrong. Very wrong.
