Ice Cream!

After playing on the swings for 10 minutes Johnny and Pony went and played on the jungle-gym. Darry went back to the bench and watched them play. Then they started to play tag.

Johnny was it. He was running after Pony who was running to Darry. Johnny could almost reach him when Pony sprinted.

Johnny had almost caught Pony, but then Pony sprinted ahead. Johnny started to run as fast as his little legs could carry him. Pony ran over to Darry and claimed on to his lap."Dawwy base!" Pony called hugging Darry around the waste.

"No fare! You just called it." Johnny said standing infront of Darry making a pouty face.

Darry chuckled at them. He hosted Pony onto his shoulder."How about we go and get some ice cream for you two?"

Pony and Johnny both smiled and nodded."Yeah!" they both cheered smiling. Darry laughed.

Darry and Johnny where walking while Pony was getting a ride. He was around Darry's neck.

"So what kinda ice cream do you two want?" Darry asked looking from one to the other.

"Chowowate!" Pony screamed throwing his hand in the air then placing them back around Darry's head.

"What kinda do you want Johnny?" Darry asked looking down at Johnny.

"Chocolate please."

"Okay then." Darry said as they came up to the DX.

Soda was out side talking to some girls. He looked over at his brother and the two kids. He waved bye to the girls and ran over Darry, Pony, and Johnny. He picked Johnny up off the ground and smiled at him.

"Hey there Johnnycakes!" Soda said at him, his wild grin on his face. "So what are you guys doing here anyway?"

"Thought maybe they could get some ice cream." Darry said taking Pony off his shoulders and into his arms.

"You two want ice cream?" Soda asked looking from one to the other.

"Yeah!" they both said enthused.

"Well lets get you two some then." Soda said has they walked into the DX.

Darry followed him inside. He set Pony on the counter next to were Soda had put Johnny.

"So what kinda ice cream do you two want?"

"Chocowowate!" Pony cheered for.

"Me too!" Johnny said looking at Soda.

"Darry you want one?" Soda asked turning to look at Darry who shook his head.

"Naw, just two small ice creams for them." Darry said looking at his brother.

"Ok two small chocolate ice creams coming right up."

Soda got the ice creams and hand one to Johnny and one to Pony. Darry hand over the money for them.

Steve just so happen to walk in at this moment when the kids were eating.

"Well look who has decided to drop by." Grind Steve while walking in side. He had grease on his four head and check. His hands had oil on them with a dirty towel in his hand.

Pony and Johnny had started eating their ice cream.

Pony had chocolate just about ever were. Darry wounder if he got any in his mouth. Johnny on the other hand had chocolate on his nose, chin, left check, four head and all around his mouth.

"Looks like they're going to need a bath when they get back." Soda said wetting some paper towel and starting to clean Pony's face.

Pony tryed to move his head to the side so he could finish his ice cream.

"Hang on Pony. Almost done." Soda said finshing wiping Pony's face. "Ok all done."

Pony then went to finishes his ice cream. Johnny had just finished his ice cream and started licking his hands to clean them.

"So what are you doing here anyway Dar?" Steve asked washing his hands with soap.

"Getting these two some ice cream." Darry said pointing to Johnny and Pony.

"So who's watching them tomorrow?" Steve asked taking out a Pepsi and a sandwich.

"Unfortunately Dally is." Darry said taking hold of Pony who was going for a drink for Steve's drink."No Pony that's Steve's drink."

"But I want some." Pony said with tearful eyes.

"No Pony."

"Just a bit?"

"Hey Stevie, mind given Pony just a bit of your drink?" Soda asked looking at his best bud.

"Sure. Just a bit tho."

"Yeah. A little is all he needs."

"Sure thing." Steve said getting a phone cup and putting alittle bit of pop in it."Share it with Johnny."

Pony nodded and took a small drink then handed it to Johnny who took a small drink too. He put it on the counter. Pony and Johnny each had two more small drinks then it was gone.

"Ok, I think it's time we left these two to work." Darry said looking at the two kids.

"Awwww do we have to?" Pony asked looking up at Darry.

"Yes, we do." Darry said picking Pony up and setting him on his shoulder.

Johnny jumped off the counter, and was now standing next to Darry.

"See you two later."

"Yeah bye Dar, bye Pony, bye Johnny. Soda waved at each of them. Steve waved them off while he went back into the garage.

The walk back Pony was wiggling on Darry's neck making it harder for him to keep him still."Pony I will let you and Johnny 'walk' ahead of me some ok?"

Pony nodded."Okie!"

Darry chuckled and put Pony down on the ground.

Pony laughed he and Johnny went alittle ahead of Darry.

"Not to far you two."

When they got back to the Curtis home, Darry had to give Pony yet another bath.

By now it was around 5pm Darry was sitting in his chair reading the newspaper. Johnny and Pony were sitting at the table not wanting to eat what Darry had made.

"You two aren't getting up till your plates is cleared."

Ok hows that? I did the best I could with it. It took me awhile to think of this. Please review!
