Lexi looked at him... "Well now that they are gone." She said as she climbed onto him and began to kiss him

"Lexi stop, we're only here to hang out not have sex," pony said

"I know... I just want to kiss." Lexi stated

"Well you don't have to be on me to kiss me silly," he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and rolled them over so they were on their sides. Lexi looked over at him, and sighed, "you alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, just thinking, that's all."

"What about?" he asked kindly.

"Just about everything, school, how much I hate Literature class." Lexi smirked

"Well how a about a plus side for school, will you be my date to prom?" he asked with a smile.

"To Prom?" she smiled.. "Oh Yes! I would love to!"

"I was hoping so, I was kinda scared you'd say no," he joked with a smile.

Lexi looked up "Of course I wouldn't ever say no to you, Pony." She winked back

Pony smiled and kissed her a soft kiss. He glanced around and saw fire flies dancing above the lake, "that's cool looking," pony said pointing at the fire flies.

"Yeah, they sure make everything more beautiful" Lexi said

"Yeah they do," he replied and heard from behind them, "Lexi, Pony come on back, bon fires going!" From Lexi's dad.

Lexi sighed, she wanted a little more time alone with him. "Ok,"

Pony got up and helped her stand. She smiled and then began the climb to the field the bonfire was in.

Pony smiled back at her and followed her to the bon fire, "has anyone seen Joe and Rose?" Adam asked kindly.

Lexi shook her head. "No I haven't seen them in a while"

"Huh, weird," was all Adam said.

Rose was sound asleep using Joe's shoulder as a pillow. Joe was awake, he was scared. He was so caught up in the moment that he forgot to use protection. Looking over at Rose she looked to peaceful to disturb. She stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes and smiled over at Joe.

Joe smiled back at her. "Hey sleepy head."

"Morning, sorry for falling asleep," she replied with a smile.

"What do you mean morning? It's almost dark" Joe laughed

"Just used to saying it when I wake up," she replied with a chuckle, "well we should get dressed and head to the bon fire."

Joe nodded, still nervous if he should tell her or not... "Sounds like a good idea."

She started getting dressed and saw the nervous mixed with worried look in his eyes, "you alright baby?"

She handed him his shorts and felt something in the back pocket. She took it out and it was the non used, still packaged condom, "we forgot it?

Joe's eyes looked at hers... He didn't know what to say... "Oh no!" Joe groaned.

"Baby calm down okay, things like this happen but rust me when I say I have a feeling nothing happened," she told him and straddled his lap, even though they aren't dressed yet.

Joe looked at her... "Are you sure?"

She nodded with a smile and kissed him. Then got off his lap and got dressed, "I'm sure nothing happened, I know plenty of girls who've had sex without protection and none of them became moms."

Joe nodded... and got dressed himself "there we look presentable enough."

"Yeah we do," she told him and kissed him. She wanted to say I love you to him, hell they've been dating long enough but she was scared he wouldn't say it back.

Joe looked at her, and after he kissed her he said. "I love you."

She smiled back, "I love you to Joe." she kissed him then climbed down the ladder to the main area of the barn.

Joe smiled, wrapped his arm around her, and walked to where everyone else was. When they got to where everyone else was they sat down with his arm around her still.

Darry glanced over and smiled, "um do you two have something to tell all of us?" Darry asked.

"Well, uh honestly, we have been dating for three months."

Darry smiled, "well congrats then since we all kinda figured it out by the way you two acted around each other." Joe smiled, not wanting to look in the general direction of Adam or his pa.

Rose felt his arm tighten a little on her shoulder and she glanced over and smiled to let her know to stay calm and no one will know. Joe smiled back, and looked up at the sky. Trying to avoid eye contact with everyone.

"Joe, is everything alright kid brother?" Adam asked kindly sitting down next to Joe. Joe looked over to Adam and smirked but said nothing. Adam gave Joe a questioning look but didn't push the topic anymore. Joe down casted his eyes but did nothing further, just stared into the fire and watched the flames dance. Rose put her hand on his leg and squeezed it a little let him know to calm down and have a good time. Joe smiled at her, and slowly started to relax... just by looking at her all his problems were solved. She smiled at him and Dally could tell something was different about them two but with him liking Rose he kept his mouth shut, even though if he found out what it was he could use it as black mail. But decided against it.

"So, I have a question for everyone," Pa spoke up.

Joe looked over at his father, as did everyone. "What would that be pa?" Joe squeaked out

His pa chuckled, "well how about everyone whose here stay the night, we keep the bon fire going? We'll get the tents out and all, Rose and Lexi can sleep in the top part of the barn."

"Awe why do we get the barn?" Lexi giggled

Her pa shrugged, "then if Rose wants she can half the barn and whoever can have the other half," pa spoke up.

Lexi shrugged and went along with it. Joe looked over to Rose and winked.

She giggled a little wondering what the wink was for, "So, I'll sleep with the horses," Rose said with a smile making everyone chuckle, "doesn't matter to me who sleeps there also."

"I'll sleep there as well," Joe said, mainly to her but loudly enough for all to hear.

"Just make sure young man you stay on your half of the barn, she'll sleep with the kittens and mommy cat, you get the other half then, well how about we all get the tents around and also let them two get pillows and stuff?" Pa spoke up.

"I'll take Rose to the house to gather up pillows and stuff for you four," Dally spoke up.

"Sure, fine with me, just be careful with your driving." Darry said

"Yeah Dally, I don't' wanna die young," Rose joked and gave Joe a hug, be back soon.

Joe smiled and watched her go... "So you and the Cartwright kid, huh?" Dallas said when they got in the truck

"Yeah, so?" Rose replied with a sigh.

"Oh nothing, just thought you'd go for a man, not a boy."
