Part: 18?
AN: Forgot to say earlier since Steve knows that Soda didn't forget about him he doesn't drink as heavily, but he still drinks.
Saturday
By time Two-Bit got to the lot Dally and Johnny were there, but there was no sign of Steve. Two-Bit got Dally and Johnny and then went over to Steve's house. Turns out Steve had went out to a party and got drunk, so he had a major headache that morning.
It took Two-Bit and Dally to get Steve to the car, he was still hung over. They finally got on the road thirty minutes after Two-Bit wanted to. He wasn't a happy camper because he thought that they might be late. And because Steve had been drinking again. He thought Steve had stopped drinking because he hadn't seen him drink in a month. Turns out Steve was just good at hiding it. Now Two-Bit usually isn't a mean person in less someone pisses him off, while Steve did by his drinking so every time he talked he made sure that talked really loud. He did it until they got to Soda's place. Then he didn't because Steve had fell asleep by then.
They got to the park two minutes late because they had a hard time finding Pony. They end up finding him at the school because he had a track meet that morning.
"Sorry we're late. Promise it won't happen again." Two-Bit said
"That's alright, so you must be Pony. My name is Mrs. Green, but you can call me Rose." Rose said
"Nice to meet you" Pony said
"Ok now lets get down to business, shall we?" Rose asked
"Yes lets" Steve who had finally got out of the car said
"Ok Pony I need you to tell me in your own words what happened." Rose stated
Pony was a little shy about telling her what happened in front of his brother and friends.
"It's ok Pony we're here for you." Soda said
"Yeah and we're not going to think any less of you." Johnny said
"Ok" Pony said
So he told Rose when the abuse started and how it was brought on. He also told her how Elisa just left him when Sam started hitting her too.
"Sorry to say Pony we're going to have to charge Elisa with abuse too." Rose said
"No! You can't do that!" Pony stated hysterically
"Pony she has to Elisa just left you in the hands of that monster." Soda said
"No she didn't I told her that I wanted to stay with her." Pony said
"Pony stop lying its ok." Johnny said
"Pony I won't be charging her with the same crime that I will be Sam." Rose said
"You won't be?" Pony asked
"No what I will be charging her with can only get her one to two years in jail." Rose said
After hearing that it mad Johnny and Soda mad but as seeing as there was nothing they could do didn't say anything.
"Oh ok" Pony said
"Now one other thing would your older brother be willing to testify?" Rose asked
"No! and don't bring him up again!" Soda said very mad
"Soda! That's no way to treat her!" Two-Bit said angry
"Keith it's ok." Rose said
"Keith is now?" Dally asked in a teaseling voice
"Shut it Dally you remember what I have over your head don't you?" Two-Bit asked while watching Dally a embarrassing shad of red.
"Sorry Mr. Green I shouldn't have said that. No he won't be testifying for Pony." Soda said
"That's quite alright. But did I say something wrong by calling you Keith?" Rose said/asked
"No that's his real name we just call him Two-Bit" Pony said with a smile on his face because of the look on Dally's face
"Ok good. Well that's all I need from Pony and you guys will have to testify. I will get the paperwork done and start pushing for a trial on Monday." Rose said
"OK thank you again." Two-Bit said
"You've very much welcome." Rose said
"Bye" Rose said
"Bye" Johnny, Dally, Steve, Soda, Pony and Two-Bit all said at once.
"Well we better get you home before you get into trouble." Soda said
"That's ok. I told him that practice would run until two today after the meet." Pony said
When the guys except Johnny looked at him as asking why he told him that Pony said
"Johnny called me and told me you guys were coming up but not what for so I told him not to come until two thirty."
"Ok well be still better be going." Dally said
"So what do you have over Dally's head Two-Bit?" Pony asked
"I'll tell you at another time, not today though." Two-Bit said
So they went back to the school and dropped Pony off. They waited there until they saw him come and get Pony. Then they headed home all hoping that trail would come real soon.
AN: Next chapter Rose pushes it thought court and Thanksgiving.
