A/N: Okay, people, it's time for CHAPTER NUMBER 3! (or 2, I'm still confused :P)

I finished this chapter over a week ago (but didn't edit till yesterday), so why not edit and update right afterwards? Well… TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY! :D Since it was coming up soon, I thought 'What the heck! Might as well!' so here we are!

Just so you know, I made a REALLY lame restaurant name here… so please, try to remember not to ask you parents/family/date to take you to the local 'Italini's' because I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist.

Songs for this chapter: Sorry, no songs here. It's a short chapter, it's pretty much only a phone call, even though it shows her excitement. Still, there's not really any song that can go along with it. Sorry!

I felt amazing… I had finally gotten a chance to tell Ponyboy that I wanted a special date, with just him and I.

As we walked home together, I couldn't help but smile and think of what it would be like. Me in a beautiful dress, maybe blue, and he would wear a formal jacket and we would eat dinner in a restaurant that didn't serve pop and Coke. Maybe we'd go to a movie, a real movie and not just one of those beach ones I'd mentioned to him. It would be so romantic… just us… us and no one else…

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, Caitlyn," Ponyboy's voice broke into my thoughts. I was snapped back to reality and was forced to wait a little longer.

"Okay, I'll see you at school, Pony," I told him as he leaned in for a kiss and said good bye once more and started walking home. I went inside, said hi to Rook, walked up to my room, and started working on my homework, which was English and Math. It took forever to do so, though, since my mind was still focused on our conversation we had and what our date would be like…

My thoughts were interrupted by a phone ringing. I decided that Rook could get it until she yelled "Caitlyn! It's for you!"

"I'm coming!" I yelled back as I got up and walked downstairs to receive the phone from my sister. "Who is it?" I asked.

"Ponyboy." She replied plainly as she handed the phone to me and walked away to leave me and Pony some privacy.

"Hi, Pony, what's up?" I asked after I held the phone to my ear.

"I just wanted to talk to you about our date," his voice answered through the phone.

"What about it?"

"Where do you wanna go for dinner?" he asked. I paused, thinking; I hadn't given the restaurant much thought. I knew what I wanted, just not where. After a few minutes of silence and thinking, though, he started talking again. "How's about that place by the West Side? The Italian one?"

"Italini's?" I asked, confused.

"Yeah."

"I don't know… it's supposed to be really expensive…" I hesitated, but Ponyboy interrupted me for about the 3rd time that day.

"I told you, Caitlyn, whatever you want. I'll work on it, it's okay. I can get more money," he assured me.

"Uh…" I said as I thought more about it. It really was an expensive place, hardly any place for a greaser to be, especially Ponyboy. They were downright poor; Soda had to drop out of school to make sure Pony could go. But then again, imagine how he would feel if I refused the offer…

"Fine. I'll go," I agreed. "But nothing too expensive."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, I can get some money."

"Yeah, okay," I agreed, feeling about a hundred times better. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye." And I hung up.

I put the phone down on the table beside me, feeling very assured. Then I walked back upstairs with the feeling of weight being taken off my shoulders, until I saw my homework again. Then I sighed and said to myself "At least I'm going on a real date in two days," then sat back down and started on my homework again.

A/N: Grr. I hate my inability to create long chapters!

… and my inability to create Italian Restaurant names. :P

Anyways, please R&R and ignore these things that I fail to do. :)
