Darry POV

I noticed that my brothers seemed to be staring at me after Holly left.

"What?" I asked.

A huge grin crossed Soda's face and he said, "Nice lipstick, Dar." Then they both started laughing at me. I raised an eyebrow. What on earth were they…? I lifted my hand to my lips and I saw what was, sure enough, red lipstick. Oh. Holly was wearing lipstick and we kissed.

"Ha,ha, very funny," I said dryly while I wiped my mouth off with my sleeve.

"It's okay, Darry. It actually looks pretty good on you!" Ponyboy teased.

"You two are just jealous."

"Of what? Your lipstick?" I rolled my eyes. They were still laughing at me when Two-Bit came in.

"Hey, guys! What's shakin'?" he said with a wide grin. He sounded like he was a little drunk. No, more like a lot drunk. Then again, he could actually be sober and just be pretending to be drunk. You just never know with him.

"Hey, Two-Bit! What are you doing here? I thought you were going home," Sodapop said.

"Nah. I decided to drop in on you guys for a bit. How was your date, Superman?" He slurred.

"It was great," I replied.

"Oh, yeah? So when's the wedding?" My eyes widened.

"What?" Did he just say what I think he did?

"The wedding, Darry. When is it?"

"Don't you think it's a little early for that?" I do love her, but I don't think I'm ready for marriage. That's a big step. Plus, there's still that problem- she's our social worker. She'd have to quit her job, and she already told me that she didn't want to.

"You're right." That took me off guard. Did Two-Bit actually say that? "Maybe tomorrow." I should've known that sentence wasn't finished yet. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head. "You know what, guys? I should probably get goin'." I raised an eyebrow.

"Already? You just got here."

"I know." He had a stupid grin on his face.

"So, you just come in, ask me how my date went and when I'm going to marry her, and then just leave? You know, if you brought a notepad and a pen, I would say that you were stalking me." I swear, Two-Bit is the most ridiculous guy I know. He's even more ridiculous when he's drunk.

"Nah. I got better things to do than stalk you." He looked at me like I was stupid. "I just wanted to see how it went. Ya know, get the facts." Get the facts? Seriously? That would be like if I called one of my friends, asked them how much money they had and when they were going to spend it, and then hung up. "Oh, by the way, Ponyboy, that was a great movie." Pony stared at him, incredulous.

"You didn't pay attention to any of it!"

"I know. I'll see you guys later!" He waved goodbye and left, forgetting to shut the door.

"Bye, Two-Bit!" We shouted after him. I walked over and shut the door and then turned to my brothers.

"Hey, did you guys ever notice that he either slams the door or forgets to shut it altogether?" They laughed.

Holly POV (A few days later)

I was about ready to head over to Darry's when the phone rang. I groaned and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hi!" It was my sister.

"What is it?" I asked. What on earth could she possibly want?

"I heard you have a new boyfriend. You don't like Chris anymore?"

"No. And I'm not sure why I ever liked him. And yes, I do have a boyfriend." And if you'd paid attention, you would've known already, I thought to myself.

"Can I meet him? I'll make lunch." I nearly screamed 'NO!' into the phone. I don't want her to be making eyes at Darry. I mean, I trust Darry, but I don't trust my sister. But I didn't get a chance to say anything. She had this nasty habit of making decisions for me, and it annoyed me to no end. Why bother asking if you're not even going to let me answer? "Great! See you later!"

"But…!" She hung up. I sighed in frustration. "Oh, that's great all right," I mumbled to myself. "Just great."

Darry POV

It was around noon when I heard a knock on the door. Who's that? No one knocks on the door, unless it's… I opened the door. Holly.

"Hi, Darry." She gave me a quick kiss.

"You know, I keep telling you that it's not necessary to knock on the door. Just come in."

"I don't know, Darry. I think it would feel weird to just… barge in." I laughed.

"Everyone else seems to be able to do it without a problem. Come on." She still hadn't stepped in.

"Um, Darry, my sister called and she wants to meet you. She wants to make lunch or something." Huh. I definitely didn't see that coming.

"Oh. Well, I guess we could go. I mean, you've met my brothers. You told me about your sister and I still haven't met her. Our families should be able to get along, right? Ponyboy! Sodapop!" I called. They came running in.

"What is it, Darry?" Ponyboy asked.

"I'm going with Holly to meet her sister. You guys will be all right while I'm gone?"

"Of course, Dar. We'll be fine," Sodapop answered. "I'll make sure that Ponyboy doesn't get in too much trouble!" Pony grinned and shoved him. I smiled.

"See you guys later." I closed the door and Holly and I got in her car. We were about to leave when she looked over at me.

"Our families should be able to get along?" I just smiled in response. She knew what I was talking about when I said that. She smiled back and leaned over, kissing my cheek. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Then she started the car and we were off. We got to her sister's house about ten minutes later. Holly knocked on the door.

"Just a minute!" That must be her sister. That voice was strangely familiar though… but how could that be? When she answered the door, my heart nearly stopped beating. I knew exactly why that voice was familiar. "Darry…?" Holly gave me a strange look. It took me a few seconds to find my voice.

"Rebecca…"

A/N: Surprise! Yes, that's the same Rebecca that was mentioned earlier in the story that broke Darry's heart. I bet you didn't see that coming! :D Anyway, review please!
