Hey everyone, it's been three months since I updated this last, I hope you guys still want to read this. I think this is the part you've all been waiting for…

Oh by the way, I own Ash, everyone else belongs to S.E. Hinton.

"NOT AGAIN!!" I exclaimed after I reached Two-bit's car. I heard Ponyboy and Two-bit laughing at me from behind as I threw a tantrum in the middle of the parking lot. Yep, you guessed it, another flower was tape to the window of the car.

"Easy there, Ashey, it could be worse," Two-bit said.

"Don't call me Ashey. How exactly could this be worse?" I asked.

"Well, it's not like the person is leaving you bombs or something," Two-bit replied with a goofy grin on his face.

"Oh, har har Two-butt," I said rolling my eyes.

"Ashey."

"Two-butt."

"Ashey."

"Oh no, not again," Ponyboy moaned. He closed his eyes, and hung his head back letting the light of the sun touch his face. I paused for a minute and starred at him, as if there was nothing more perfect in the world than Ponyboy Curtis.

I broke out of my daze when my moronic brother screamed "ASHEY!" in my ear.

"WHAT?!" I said jumping about five feet in the air.

"Sorry, you sort of spaced out on us there. I was just making sure you were alright." He said laughing. He's such an ass…

"I'm fine," I said, glancing quickly at Ponyboy, making sure he hadn't seen me starring at him.

I asked Two-bit to drop me off at home due to the fact that I didn't really want to hang around the Curtis' house. I opened the door and quickly ripped a flower off of it that was taped to the door. Jeez, who is this guy and how did he know my favorite flowers are tiger lily's? I put the flowers in a vase and then went upstairs to my room to do my homework, which I couldn't really concentrate on. Math never really interested me anyway…

Just then the phone rang…

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Ash, can you come over the Curtis'?" A voice asked me. It was Steve.

"Steve? Why? What's up?" I asked, surprised to hear his voice on the other end.

"Let's just say there's a surprise here for you…" Steve replied. I knew something was up, I could hear it in his voice.

"Well, okay…" I said and hung up the phone.
