*Darry's story!*

Pony's POV

Buck just wanted to get the keys for the T-bird that Tim had borrowed. He left without a goodbye and we closed the door he had left open.

"Darry, what was it like for you?" I turned to face him, and the others looked intrigued.

Darry tugged at his shirt collar nervously, and Tim spoke up...

"Darry before you tell us let me guess, she was the head cheerleader right?" He asked.

"Yeah, how did you know?!" Darry asked shocked.

"Cause that's just how high school works. The football star always dates the head cheerleader."

Darry nodded knowingly, Tim continued.

"She was a snobby, stuck up Soc that you couldn't of impressed if you tried."

Darry's eyes got a little bit wider but he didn't comment...

"But you still tried, you wore a suit and you drove to her house and picked her up. You opened doors for her and you complement her all night long. You brought her home before curfew and everything was perfect, but she didn't like you because you were from the wrong side of town."

Tim's eyes were dark and far away like he was remembering something.

"Tim, if I didn't know you better I would have thought you dated a Soc!" Darry exclaimed,

The corners of Tim's mouth turned up into a half grin.

"That story is for another day."

Now it was our turn to be shocked, Tim Shepard and a Socy girl?!

Darry continued, "She was the head cheerleader, but she wasn't stuck up. We went to the park and had a picnic."

"Don't tell me you made dinner?!" Soda added, he wasn't a good cook back then...

"No, mom made it for me and Leah loved it! She was a foreign exchange student from Germany, so she had to leave at the end of the school year. It was fun being around her for the time we had."

"What did she look like Darry?" Johnny asked him quietly, trying to get a picture in his mind of the girl...

"She had sweet brown eyes and blonde hair past her waist. Sometimes she was hard to understand because she had a real thick accent."

Two-Bit interrupted him,

"See Ponyboy, Darry liked Blonde chicks too; its not just me and Soda!"

"Awe shut up and let Darry finish man!" Soda yelled at him.

Darry grinned an went on,

"we drove on top of the hill at sunset... "

*Flashback*

A young jock, Darrel Curtis Jr. sits with arm around Leah Shall. He is wearing his football jersey, she is still in her uniform from the peprally eariler that day. They are dangling there feet off the tailgate of his dad's pickup...

"Ich bin sehr traurig..." she mumbles to herself,

"What did you say Leah?" giving her his full attention now,

"Oh" surprised that he had heard that,

"I said I'm very sad..." She answered.

"Why are you sad, I thought you loved it here?!" Darry questioned her,

"I do love it here, its just the school year is almost over and I don't to leave!" She said truthfuly.

Darry sighed

"Leah, we knew from day one that you were going to have to leave. I don't want you to leave either, but its going to happen. Lets not ruin this evening with that bad thought, its still a few weeks away anyway!"

Leah turned to look at her boyfriend, still awestruck by his light blue-green eyes...

"Ich liebe dich Darry..." She says with a soft grin,

"What are you grinning about?" He smiled at her,

"I love you Darry" she says again, this time he answers...

"I love you too Leah, very much"

It wasn't his first date, but it was the best date he had ever had...
