*Beep Beep Beep Beep* the alarm clock alarm rang through the room. A pair of eyes opened up and looks at the time on the clock, 7:30, "why is my alarm on its summer?" He reached over and turned it off, then rolled over and closed his eyes. But not long after he heard someone running through the house, then into the room. "Pony, Pony, Pony" soda screamed. "What do you want soda?" pony asked. "And why is my alarm going off at 7:30 in the morning?" "I thought you would like to enjoy the entire day." "Hmm" pony mumbled, "I would like to sleep" pony said looking at soda in the eyes. Suddenly he saw a glimpse of sadness in his brother's eyes. "What's wrong" he asked, "I made you breakfast". "You did?" Soda nodded "yep." "Alright I guess I can go eat, let's go" pony replied. Soda led the way into the kitchen were a plate of green pancakes with happy 16 written with chocolate chips sitting on the table. "It looks good soda" pony said. "Thanks I made it for you" "I see that" pony said with a smile. Soda turned and gave pony a huge grin, "happy birthday baby brother" he said. Just then they heard the door open and slam shut. Steve, soda's best buddy, walked in. "Happy birthday kid "he said. "I AM NOT A KID" pony said sternly. "Right I'm sorry, happy sweet sixteen Ponygirl "Steve said with a laugh. Pony looked into his deep green eyes. I guess Steve is the reason why I hate people with green eyes, because I hate Steve Randle, pony thought to himself. Pony was not about to let Steve's comment ruin his birthday. Pony ate his breakfast, then he opened a present soda had given to him. It was car keys. "Listen pony I know you still have to pass your driver's test and all, but Steve and I got this for you when you do" soda said. "You got me a car" pony replied back, "yep fixed it up and everything, now don't say I don't do anything nice for you, ya hear" Steve said to pony. Pony nodded yeah Thanks you two. "No problem pone. " "Do you want see it" soda asked "sure" pony replied. They went outside to see an old run down brown car sitting in their drive way. "I thought you said you fixed it up for me" pony asked Steve. "I did I Made it work" Steve said, "I never said I'd make it look nice for you." Of course. Well at least I have a car and when I can drive it will come into use pony thought to himself. "Thanks again you guys, I love it", "your welcome pony" soda said. That night when the rest of the gang came over, pony showed them his new car. In all honesty this was not the worst birthday pony has ever had and the car really made his day. Happy birthday self-pony thought, happy sweet sixteen. And with a little laugh pony fell sleep.
