I'm really sorry guys I know I haven't updated at all in a couple months. School has been very stressful and there a lot of things going on that need my attention. This may be my last update until spring break if not until the summer. I try to write when I get time but so far this has been one of my few chances to do so. Thank you to all of you who will continue to read. I also thank you for all of the reviews.

Dally POV

I slammed my hand down on the clock. For once, I had actually set, since I would be watching the kid today. After getting dressed, I made my way out of Bucks and headed to the Curtis's house. Most people knock at someone's door but us; greasers just walk into each other's houses. Darry doesn't care he looks out for us. I walked into the their house, Soda was look for his shoes, again. Pony was sitting on the couch watching TV so I sat by him.

"Hi 'ally."

"Hey kid." He waved at me and then he went back to Mickey Mouse. I don't know what it is with people these days since when do greasers like cartoons? Man, the guys in New York sure would have a good laugh if they knew that I was babysitting a kid. After his brothers left and Mickey Mouse went off, I decided that we should go to the park. Pony seemed quiet compared to most of the kids that I've seen around his age. Yet, those are the kids who get on my nerves.

"Hey Pone you want to head over the park then go see Soda?" His faced seemed to light up like a kid on Christmas morning in those cheesy Christmas movies.

"Yes!!" He was already dressed and had his shoes on so I wouldn't have to go looking for them. I don't get how Pony's shoes are always together yet Soda can't seem to keep his together. We took off walking to the park. Darry always tell us that we should hold his hand but he's old enough to walk beside me without running off. Once we go the park there wasn't many people there which there never is considering it's on the grease side of town. Pony went straight for the swings and tried his best to climb in it. That's when three kids a little bigger than him walked over. There were two boys with blond hair and a girl with light brown curls. Soon they were all running around playing tag. Pony was winning and had yet to be it. He was one fast kid. The two boys had to go so it was just Pone and the brown head girl they walked over to sandbox and started playing in the sand. They were both talking and laughing. I was getting bored by the time Pony came over to me.

"You ready to go?"

"Okay can I say bye to my friend first?" I nodded to Pony as he ran over to the girl at the sandbox. She stood up and gave him a hug. Man to bad Two-Bit's not here to see this. Pony came back to me as the girl waved bye.

"So how's your friend kid?"

"Her name is Amy." I let him drop it for now but he just better be ready for when the gang get's together.

"So you want to go see Soda and Steve now?"

"Yea!"

We took off to go see them. When we arrived, Pony ran and gave Soda a hug.

"Hey Dal you coming to our house?"

"Yea I don't have nothing better to do and I have something to tell you guys." So the four of us took off toward their house to meet the rest of the gang.

I'm so sorry it's short and not being able to update for so and long. Also that you guys have to wait so long for another update. I'll try my best to get another one in before then.
