To all of my reviewers: Thank you all so much for all of your reviews.
Every time I get on the internet the first thing I do is check the reviews
that you guys leave. If you have any suggestions you can leave them in your
reviews or e-mail me. The reason for the lack of updates here lately is due
to the fact that I've ran out of ideas. Yep, the writer is suffering from
writers block. It's sad I tell you, very sad. Well, enough of me rattling
on about my writer's block and on with the story.
PONY'S POV
"If they come back around we'll beat them to a bloody pulp." Steve said while looking out the door.
"All that money and those cars and they get their kicks by beating up on us greasers." Two-bit said.
"Hey Pony, you and Johnny wanna hang out?" Curly Shepard asked sticking his head in the door.
"Sure." I said.
"Pony, be home by 12:00." Darry said sternly.
Me and Johnny left with Curly. We walked down to the Dingo. There were a few guys there that we knew so we hung out with them for a while.
"Can I get you boys anything?" A waitress asked us.
"Sure can sweetheart. How 'bout a few beers?" Curly said.
"How about I see some id?" The waitress said in response to Curly's question.
"Fine three cokes." Curly replied.
"Three cokes coming up. Anything else?" We all shook our heads 'no'.
A few minutes later the waitress came back with our drinks.
We finished up our drinks, paid for them and left. When we walked outside there were two guys fighting. One of them was Mitch Sanders from Shepard's gang, and the other one was some greaser from one of the other gangs around on our side of town.
"What's Mitch doing fighting again? Didn't he just get out of the cooler?" I asked Curly.
"Yep, but he don't really care." Curly answered.
We walked around town for a while then decided to go back to my house. The gang was still there. Two-bit was watching TV, Soda and Steve were playing cards, Darry was reading the paper, Dally and Crystal was sitting on the couch not doing much of anything, only one person was missing. Becky. Curly, Johnny, and me went into the house and sat down. It wasn't long before the place was going about it's normal routine of playing cards and wrestling.
"Hey Dal, where's Becky?" I asked.
"She took Melissa and Andrew back to Buck's." Dally said. I had forgot that Melissa and Andrew were there. It wasn't easy to remember that there's two kids hanging around now.
Johnny and Curly had found another deck of cards; well Darry had given them another deck of cards, so we were sitting on the floor playing poker. Since all we had were cigarettes that's what we used to bet with. After we finished playing we divided them up since cigarettes are hard to come by. I didn't notice that Darry wasn't there until he told us that dinner was ready. I didn't know if was already 5:30 either. We all made a dash to the table to eat.
"Hey Curly. What are you doing here?" Two-Bit asked around a mouth full of rice.
"I've been here most of the day." Curly said.
"That's funny. I didn't notice ya kid." Two-Bit said.
"No wonder, you spent the whole time glued to the TV watching Mickey Mouse." Curly stated and we all laughed.
After we finished we all went back into the living room. We picked up our activities where we left off when we went to eat.
"I'm going to go check the mail." Soda said, standing up.
Soda left to check the mail and came back a few minutes later.
"Ok, let's see, bills, bills, bills, letter, bills and bills." Soda said looking through the mail.
"Let me have all the bills." Darry said.
"Pony, the letter is for you." Soda said handing me the letter.
Dear Pony,
How are the guys? I'm good. Live in New York sure is different than live back in Tulsa. Dal could probably tell you all about it. There's never a
dull moment. If you know what I mean. I'm pretty sure I'll be back some
time with in the month, but I'm not going to say that I will be just in
case I don't. Well, I gotta go the old man is back. See ya buddy.
Your buddy,
Brandon.
I folded the letter back up and went to put it in my room. I bet you are wondering who Brandon is right? Well, he's mine and Johnny's best buddy. We all hang out a lot, but right now Brandon is in New York because of his dad. His dad's a lot like Johnny's dad. Real abusive.
When I came back from mine and Soda's room; Soda and Steve were wrestling. One of them probably caught the other cheating again. I didn't like Steve much and I knew he didn't like me either, but he was one of the gang and Soda's best buddy.
"I'm going to go. I'll see you boys tomorrow." Crystal said standing up.
"I'll walk you home." Dallas said also standing up.
DALLAS POV
Crystal and I left the Curtis' house and began walking to her house.
"I thought you said your dad kicked you out?"
"He did, but I have to get my clothes and stuff." Crystal said.
"How are you going to get in the house? He's not going to let you in."
"He won't be there." She said.
When we got to her house, she went upstairs packed her clothes, and got a few of her other things and we left. We went back to Buck's and she put her stuff at the end of the dresser.
"We're going to have to get us a place." I said. There was no way that Me, Crystal, Becky, Melissa, and Andrew could live in my one room at Buck's place.
"Well, how about we go look for something tomorrow?" Crystal asked.
"And Just where are we going to get the money for a new place?" I asked her.
"Well, I'm working and you could get a job and we could just save up to get enough for a down payment." She said.
"And just where do you suggest I get a job?" I asked.
"Dingo, DX, Dairy Queen?" She suggested.
"I'm not working at Dairy Queen." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Ok, so that leaves the DX and Dingo." She said.
"I doubt I'll get a job at the DX because I don't know much about cars and I'm not running the register." I told her.
"Ok, well you can check and see. And there is always the Dingo. I'm pretty sure you can get a job there, doing something." She said smiling.
Ok, Thank you for reading, now please press the little blue button and review. New chapter will be up soon.
On with the thank yous.
Greaser Chick- Thank you so much for you review. I'm glad you like it. I wasn't going to put Crystal back in the story, but since everyone liked her so much, she's back. Lol. But I think she's a really good character for the story so it will probably be better with her in it.
TheAngryPrincess13- Thank you for the review. I'm really glad you like my story. Yours is good too.
Grease Girl- Thank you I'm glad you like it. Yeah, I was trying to make her more classier than the book and other stories I've read describe greaser girls. It was kind of weird though that Dallas got such a classy girl though you'd expect it from Soda or Darry but not Dally...lol.
Makia Goddess Ookami- Thanks for the review. Yep, the plot is moving pretty fast. Do you think it's going too fast or is it working just right?
