(A/N: Hello again! I want to give a special thanks to Kawaii-Chibi-Kai! She put this on her account when I couldn't put up documents!–Claps- Oh! And review if you like. The reviews motivate me to get another chapter; they're kind of like my writing fuel. And I realized I forgot Darry in that chapter so you'll see why he was late in this one)

Homecoming – Chapter 3

Soft rays from the sun poked into the tiny room Soda and Katie shared. The twins grumbled and turned in their bed. It was 9 in the morning on a Sunday. Who wanted to wake up?
A loud, deep voice suddenly filled the tiny bedroom. "C'mon you two!" yelled Darrel Curtis. "You're gonna be late for church!"

Katie's head poked out from underneath the blanket. "Who said anything about church, and where were you last night?"

Darry sighed. "Boss had us work overtime to finish that new house. We decided to just kind of stayed there, since there was no point in barging in at 2 in the morning."

Soda's head nodded from under his pillow and Darry got a muffled, "That makes sense."

Katie sighed and rolled her eyes, whacking her brother with her pillow.

"Now get up, both of you. You're goin to Church this mornin' with Pony and Johnny."

Katie's heart leapt. "Really? Johnny's comin' too?"

Soda glanced at her after he rubbed his eyes. He sort of smirked, smugly. "You glad Johnny's goin'?" he asked.
Katie shot him a look. "Yes, I'm glad that our friend is going."

Darry rolled his eyes. "Just get movin'. Breakfast is on the table and I'll see you guys at 7."

Soda and Katie gave him matching, 'Yeah, right' looks and he added. "I promise." And with that he gave them a wave before setting off.
Katie groaned and got up, stretching. She then moved to her dresser. The tan, brown eyed girl decided on an orange t-shirt with a sun on it and black jeans.

Soda went to the dresser after his sister had gone to the bathroom to change and picked out a black t-shirt and blue jeans.

He slipped them on and he was reaching for his black converse sneakers when Katie came out. The blonde smiled at her before slipping his shoes and socks on.

Katie smiled back, grabbing her black converse sneakers and pulling them on. They both headed into the kitchen.
Pony was sitting next to Johnny, talking about their last English assignment, and Johnny was sitting there smiling shyly and nodding.

Katie smiled and looked at him a little longer than necessary. He had tanned skin and black hair that was heavily greased. Some went in his face and the rest curled behind his ears and around. He had soft black eyes that seemed to glow.

Katie smiled again before Johnny looked up. He said hi to Soda and then caught her looking at him. Katie blushed and looked away muttering a hello before she sat down. Johnny smiled and a blush crept across his cheeks as he stole a piece of bacon from the center of the table.

"So….church huh?" said Soda drinking from his chocolate milk.

"Yup." said Johnny.

"Can I bring Ste-"
"-no." said Ponyboy cutting him off. He thought back to the last time Johnny and him took Steve, Soda and Two-bit to church. It hadn't been a pretty sight.

Katie giggled remembering this accident as she helped herself to some eggs and toast. "I'm glad I hadn't gone that day."

Soda pouted and Katie laughed. "Oh! Can I bring Tw-"
"-no." said Pony, again intercepting.

Soda shot her a smirk and Katie pouted. "Oh, c'mon little bro. Why can't we bring'em?" she questioned.
"Like I said, it was a disaster last time." said Pony as he bit into his toast.

Johnny gave a small chuckle and drank his chocolate milk.

"Besides Katie," said Pony smirking. "You have Johnny."
Katie's cheek went a deep crimson and she mouthed to Pony she was going to kill him.

Pony just smirked and bit at his toast. Church, here they come.
