Catherine's POV

I spent the afternoon in Darry's chair, looking through the window, reading, and just spending some time to myself. About 3 hours after Pony and I arrived home we heard Darry's car pull up on the curb.

I took no notice at first and continued to look outside, but when the screen door slammed and Darry appeared in front of it I looked up and awaited for what was gonna happen to me.

"We've come to a decision" Darry began as he sat down on the couch in front of the Television. I got up from my seat and went around and stood in front of him.

"Well, what is it!" I said becoming impatient I'd waited long enough for the answer to this question continuously surrounding my life.

"The Police said that you could stay with us..." Darry Began

"Yes!" I said sitting on the couch next to him.

"But" he continued "Your name is still on the Foster List so when someone would like to give you a shot you're out of here."

"Well, that's never gonna happen" I said "Who wants to adopt me?"

"Heaps of people would" Soda said

"Yep, aha, sure, Not happening" I replied with a smile on my face.

"You'll be surprised" Two-Bit said

"So where's Pony" I asked he didn't seem to be at home.

"He went to the lot. Didn't you see him leave?" Dally answered.

"Nope, had other things on my mind. I'll Cya guys later and thanks again Darry. I've gotta tell Pony the good news" I replied

I walked out the door and began walking down the street. YES I thought I had a location and I knew I was gonna stay there. Well if no one adopted me which as I said to the guys was impossible, right? Well until it came or if it ever did I couldn't be bothered thinking about it. All I cared about was telling Pony the good news.

I quickened my pace and after around 5 minutes I saw Pony sitting on a swing kicking his feet in the dirt.

"Pony!" I yelled basically running now. "I'm staying with you!"

I arrived in front of the swing set where he was sitting and stopped.

"Are you Serious" he replied his face perking up.

"Yep, Darry worked it all out. He said that until they find me a home I get to live with you!" I replied

"That's great!" he said jumping from the swing and giving me a huge hug and lifting me from the ground. I began to giggle as we fell onto the ground. We both burst out laughing as we tumbled over each other. Suddenly our eyes met and every-thing turned serious. I saw Pony differently in that moment. He seemed to have a different feeling when he wasn't around the other guys. Like he didn't have any-thing to prove.

Our lips met as we layed beneath the moonlight. And I had a feeling that this was right for a change. We both pulled away and looked at each other.

"So what does this mean?" Pony said

"I guess, well I don't know" I replied

"Well..." He replied "Maybe, sometime, you'd, maybe want to go to the drive in with me like as in on a date or as friends" he added

"Yeah, I'd like that." I said

He stood up and offered me his hand. I took it and he lifted me from my feet.

"So ready for the meet tomorrow?" Pony asked as I sat down on the swing set and he began to push me back and forth.

"Not really but they'll deal with it" I replied "What are we running?"

"Umm, usually there's 100M, 200M, 400M, 800M and a 1500M two person relay. You still up for doing it together?" he replied

"Yea of course, would I let you down" I said

"Haven't yet" he spoke.

"It's getting dark and it's beginning to get cold." I said "We better start walking back" I stopped the swing and stood up crossing my arms to keep me warm.

"Well I make a pretty good heater" Pony said and wrapped on arm around me and held me close.

"You sure do" I replied

We began walking home, watching the sunset and talking about, well just things. It was one of the best conversations I'd had in months. And it wasn't even about real things just mumbo jumbo teenage stuff.

He opened the front gate for me and we walked inside.

"Finally" Two-Bit "Where have you 2 gotten to?" he asked

"No where" I replied "Just hanging around really"

Just then Darry and Soda appeared from the hallway.

"You'll be staying in Pony and Soda's room Preec." Darry said "There's a mattress, your bags and some sheets in there for you."

"Thanks heaps" I replied and walked down the hall to see my new quarters.

It wasn't all that glamorous. There was a double bed -I assumed that this was Pony and Soda's, a desk, a wardrobe and then at the end of the bed was my mattress. I walked over and found my bags beside it. I searched through until I found my Pj's. A white spaghetti strapped singlet top and pink trackies.

I got changed, put my Connies and the end of the bed, removed the bandage from around my waist and looked at myself through the mirror on the wardrobe. I didn't look that bad. I let down my hair and retied it. I placed the clothes that Soda had lent me on the bed.

I walked back out to the lounge room and sat down next to Pony. I rested my head against his shoulder.

After about an hour of Talking, Television and a lot of fun Darry told us that maybe Pony and I should think about going to bed since we had school and the meet tomorrow.

We agreed, said goodnight and made our way to the bedroom. I made my bed while Pony got changed. I couldn't help but sneak a peak at him. He had an alright chest and seemed pretty fit. He took of his shoes and placed them beside the bed. I went about my business as he changed into his own track pants finishing the bed and hopping into it. When Pony was ready to go to sleep he also hoped into Bed.

We both knew that we were meant to sleep but we couldn't. We talked for what seemed like most of the night until Darry came in and told us to shut up and get some rest or we wouldn't even make it to the track. We both agreed said our goodnights and shut our eyes.

Another Chapter I actually wrote this in one night I thought about it and pretty much did it that's pretty good for me! So I hope your liking it. If you are that's terrific, if you aren't tell me what you want to see in the story and drop me a review. So I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas if I don't update soon!
