Dallas just simply looked at Pony and shook his head. "I can't keep something from Superman and Soda and you know that Pony" Dally stood up from where he was kneeling.

"They going to hate me" Pony complained while staring at the ceiling.

"Superman will kill me if I don't tell him" Dally shook his head.

"Pony it will be better if you tell Soda and Superman rather it coming from me." Dally patted Pony's head before walking out of Pony's room. Two-bit was just staring at Dally and Dally just stared at Two-bit. "Were you listening in" Dallas had his arms across his chest. Two-bit just nodded at Dallas.

"Okay here's what going to happen tomorrow. I'm going over to Buck's and I swear if Pony doesn't tell Darry or Soda what happened, you tell me and you and me will expose the secret" Dallas stated while going over to the couch to sleep. It was late and had been a long day. Two-bit didn't say anything and just went to Pony's room and he put a blanket over Pony who was sound asleep. Two-bit felt extremely bad for Pony to have lost his innocence that way seems pretty crappy.

The Next morning, Darry and Soda saw that Dally wasn't around but Two-bit was drinking some beer while eating a piece of chocolate cake. Dally was going to Buck's even though it was early, just thinking about Buck made Dally more pissed off than anyone can imagine. Dally was going to give good old Buck a piece of his mind whether he liked it or not. Dally marched into Buck's place and he found Buck drinking a beer and Dallas glared at him.

"Oh hey Dally" Buck greeted him and Dally ignored him.

"So where's Pony," Buck asked Dally and that happened to be the last straw for Dally. Dally pushed Buck into the wall and growled at him.

"DON'T EVEN MENTION HIS NAME" Dally screeched out.

"Get off me, I could fire you" Buck tried to push Dally but Dally didn't care about his job all he cared in that moment was making Buck pay for what he did to Pony. Dally punched Buck causing him to fall to the ground and Dally was about to kick him when someone pulled him away.

"Don't ever come near Ponyboy ever again got it" Dally screeched at Buck and Buck just stared at Dally was looking down to see a tooth was missing from his mouth and it was bleeding. Dally was good at packing a punch to his enemies and in that Buck realized that he was now Dally enemy. It was not good to get on Dally bad side.

Dally spat on Buck while being pulled away and he finally got free. He turned and there stood Tim and he was crossing his arms.

"What the hell you did that for" Dally was now glaring at Tim in annoyance.

"I'm trying to save your job" Tim now looked annoyed.

"I didn't even want to work for him anymore, not after what he did to Pony" Dally now sat on the curb and Tim sat down next to him handing him a cigarette.

"What happened" Tim lit his cigarette while looking at Dally.

"He raped Pony" Dally blew the smoke out and Tim eyes were wide open which was surprising.

"Pony told me" Dally continued and looked at Tim.

"Nobody messes with Ponyboy, he was Johnny's best friend" Dally continued to look at the ground.

"I don't want him to turn hard and this might do that" Dally sighed before blowing out smoke once again.

"Johnny wanted Pony to stay gold" Dally sighed while shaking his head.

"That's impossible considering we live in Tulsa Oklahoma" Tim spoke for a while.

"So you were going to kill Buck huh" Tim looked at Dallas with a blank stare and it was hard for most people to understand what was going on with Tim. Tim covered up his emotion just like Dallas does maybe that's why the two of them became close friends like they would ever admit to that.

"I got to go" Dally walked back to the Curtis's and when he did it was so quiet the TV wasn't on even though Two-bit was there. Dally looked over at the kitchen, he saw Soda, Darry and Pony. Pony kept refusing to eat and it was worrying Sodapop. Dally looked towards Two-bit and Two-bit shook his head.

"He hasn't been eating in forever I'm guessing it's because of Buck" Two-bit shrugged his shoulders while Dally and Two-bit continued to watch Pony looking down at his food. Dallas knew that Pony didn't mention what Buck did to him. Dally sighed to himself before walking into the kitchen and he looked at Pony and Pony just stared back at him. Darry may have been Pony's brother and probably wanted revenge when he'll figure out what happened to Pony but Dally was the protector in the group. He would be willing to go to jail in order to protect the gang whether that was smart or not, nobody knows but Darry was protective too but in his own way. In a way that does not make Darry go to jail.

"He was raped" Dally stated while taking out a lighter. It was too intense in that room. Dally looked at Pony's face. Soda dropped his piece of cake and Darry took a seat in front of Pony. Darry's eyes were soft and anyone could see the worry building up inside of him.

"Pony who raped you," Darry asked in a soft spoken voice and Steve walked in at that moment. It was quiet nobody said anything and it was getting beyond awkward as what. Steve looked at Two-bit and Two-bit shook his head. Pony finally spoke up,

"It was my fault" Pony whispered and Darry shook his head.

"It's not your fault" Soda touched Pony on his shoulder causing Pony to flinch. Soda looked hurt and Steve was about to comfort him when Two-bit stopped him.

"It's not the time Steve" Two-bit stated seriously.

"I went to one of Buck's party and you warned me not to go there ever" Pony looked at his hands and Pony looked up and tears fell down his cheeks and Soda and Pony went into Pony's room.

"Who was it" Darry went back to his husky voice and Dally took a sip of his beer before speaking.

"It was Buck" Steve looked confused as what.

"Don't worry Superman I took care of it," Dally told him and Darry sighed before grabbing his jacket and left the house.

"Pony was raped by Buck" Two-bit finally told Steve and Steve couldn't help but get angry. Even though, Steve thought that Pony was a tag along and a little bit of a brat doesn't mean that Steve would want his virginity to be taken away from him.
