It was Monday. "Today is the day that Steve and the gang comes!" I screamed to myself. I was SO happy. I hadn't seen Steve or any of the gang since Darry, Soda, and Pony's mom and dad died in a freak car accident. That was three years ago and I only saw them for, like, and hour! I waited all morning by the window for them. "They won't be here for another half an hour, honey!" my mom laughed at me. But as soon as she got the words out of her mouth I heard the roar of the Curtis truck and a car. "Sounds like a T-bird" I said to myself. "Must be Dally." I looked at my mom and grinned. She just shrugged and grinned back.
I saw the truck and a car pull up behind it. As soon as I was out the door my sister Gabby was on my heels. Steve jumped out of the truck and wrapped me in a bear hug. He stepped back at arms length and surveyed me, suprised. "Wow, Allygirl!" he said loudly. "You sure have changed." I grinned at him. "Not changed." I answered. "Just grown up." He smiled at me and swung Gabby into a bear hug too.
She giggled and I looked my sister over. She has long black hair, green eyes, about 5'6, 115 lbs, and a great smile. She was really pretty, but she said I was pretty too. I have long blonde straight hair, china-blue eyes, about 5'2, 93 lbs, and a cute smile with little dimples.
All of the guys piled around us and I saw Two-Bit, one of my favorite greasers and screamed, "Two-Bit Matthews! Boy have you grown up!" He swung me in the air and wrapped me in a tight hug. My mom came running out with my dad right behind her. "Hi boys!" she yelled. My mom isn't real shy. "Long time no see guys." said my dad. My dad was quiet, good-looking guy, with brown hair and blue eyes. My mom was like me, blonde hair and blue eyes. My mom recognized all the guys and hugged them while my dad shook hands. After a few minutes my mom and dad went back in so the guys and Gabby and I could get reaquainted.
"Ten-hut!" yelled Two-Bit and everyone fell into a straight line. Well the guys anyway. I shrieked and bear hugged big ole Darry who was like a big brother to me and Gabby. Next, I hugged good old Dally. He's a real nice guy, once you get to know him. He was always real nice to me anyway. He and Gabby have their little disputes all the time. I hugged my little buddy Johnny next. He still looked like a little lost puppy, but he was so sweet. "How ya been?" he asked me quietly. "Fine." I said, "How've YOU been?" He grinned shyly at me. "Fine." Sodapop started to pout so I moved on to him and he swung me through the air. "Allygirl, you sure have grown!" he yelled in my ear. He put me down and hugged me and whispered in my ear, "So has your sister." I giggled and looked at Gabby who was talking to Two-Bit. Then winked at Sodapop who winked back and gestured towards Ponyboy. I looked at Ponyboy closely and sucked in my breath. He was as beautiful as I remember. Even more good-looking. He looked as good as Sodapop looked when he was younger! That was an accomplishment. I walked over to Ponyboy and hugged him tight. "I missed you!" I said.
"I missed you too." he said back.
