Time Travlin' Terry: Chapter Two
Disclaimer- I don't own 'em…the only thing I own are the crappy parody characters I'll make up !
"This is the next chapter." Ponyboy decided as the four guys began walking over to the Curtis house, which was where everyone usually was.
Johnny looked irritated and jealous, but kept his mouth shut.
"Uh oh…" Ponyboy started.
"Spagettio!" Dally finished.
"No…." Ponyboy said and gave Dally a weird look. "Darry is going to kill me!"
"Why?" Johnny asked.
Ponyboy looked exasperated, "Haven't you realized that the two of us don't get along and he hates me and my life has become one big tragic…void!"
"…Usually he has a reason to get mad…"
"Well he's going to yell at me for not wearing a jacket then!" Ponyboy argued.
"It's 70 degrees!"
"He's very strict."
Johnny decided just to drop it.
"So…Terry… You like pictures?" Dally asked, trying to sound casual.
"If you want to see more pictures you can just ask." Terry said flatly.
They both waited. "Aren't you going to take them out?" Dally finally asked.
"You didn't ask."
"Can you take the pictures out?"
"Alright, but you should have just asked." He took a picture of Matt Dillon out.
"Has anyone ever kissed this?"
"No, why?"
"Ok great!" Dally started kissing the picture.
Terry politely averted his eyes. Dally kept kissing the picture until they reached the Curtis house.
"The porch light's still on…maybe they're asleep!" Ponyboy whispered.
"It's 3:45 P.M!" Dally said.
"I TOLD YOU! PEOPLE HAVE EARLY BEDTIMES!" Johnny shrieked.
"Isn't Darry at work?"
"It's…Saturday." Ponyboy said and then added, "DUN DUN DUN!"
Ponyboy peeked in the window and saw Darry sitting quietly in the armchair. He looked terrifyingly Darry-like. Ponyboy braced himself as they walked it.
"Why Ponyboy Curtis, it's two A.M; where the hell have you been?"
"OH NO! I've messed up the book world, and now things are starting to happen but all wrong!" Terry cried, not really caring.
"No…our clock just froze…" Ponyboy rolled his eyes.
"Ponyboy Curtis you got some s'planin to do! There's a girl named Patsy in there, and she claims you got her pregnant!"
"Um…that's impossible." He didn't want to say he was a virgin because that would be worse.
"Not according to her!"
"I'm telling you, unless I have magical sperm that can gravitate into a woman without me knowing, then it couldn't have been me. I didn't sleep with her."
Darry looked angrier. "Well why not?"
"…What?"
"Be a man Ponyboy! She's one hot Mama!"
"She's actually really ugly."
He poked his head in the kitchen and then looked to Ponyboy again, "You're right. However!" He yelled as Ponyboy began to look relaxed "You didn't have a jacket on!"
"SEE!" Ponyboy snarled at Dally and Johnny.
Darry seemed to be distracted for a moment, "Good god!" He said to the boys, while staring at Terry who had been wandering aimlessly around the small room. "Who is that creature of beauty?"
"Oh that's Terry Riding…" Dally re-explained his story.
"He must live with us. FOREVER." Darry and Ponyboy said.
"Who me?" Terry asked and pointed to himself.
"No the fairy behind you." Ponyboy said sarcastically.
He wasn't as clever as he thought though because there was in fact a fairy behind Terry Riding.
"HOLY CRAP PONY! How'd you do that? You must be magical!"
"That's just Two-bit in a tutu you morons! Wait a minute…let's pray it's a fairy."
"Nope it's me!" Two-bit said happily.
"Either you're really losing your touch at being funny and need to resort to this, or you're really stoned…or drunk." Dally said flatly.
"Probably." Two-bit agreed, causing the gang to slam their hands against their heads in perfect unison, including Soda and Steve who had been standing in a closet the whole time thinking it was a surprise party.
"Woah My GOD!" Soda screamed.
"What?" Steve asked.
"Our names both start with the letter S!"
Steve thought for a moment. "Soda…Steve…HEY THEY DO! We're S&S…it's a shame our names aren't Moda and Mteve!"
"Haha yeah because then we'd be M&M, like the candy!"
"Omg… SURPRISE!" Soda said, remembering about the surprise party.
"AHHHHHH SOCIAALLLLSS!" Johnny screamed and jumped out the window.
"Are things always this messed up?" Terry asked.
"Only at the Curtis house." Dally answered.
"Does that mean everywhere else is normal?"
"Compared to this?" Dally asked.
"Yeah." Terry answered.
"No."
"My fears have been realized." Terry shuddered.
"Speak English."
"I just did."
"Isn't realized a French word?"
"No. It's English."
"Shit. I owe Steve $40." Dally looked incredibly miffed.
"Well I play Steve in the movie, so you can just give it to me instead…"
"YOU'RE RIGHT!" Dally said happily and handed him the money.
Dally and Terry had a knack for ignoring everything around them. They didn't notice Two-bit performing ballet that he'd learned from his little sisters "ballet game." They didn't notice Soda and Steve providing music for Two-bit's dance. They were singing a song about the letter S and their names. Ponyboy and Darry just argued about Ponyboy's grades which really didn't matter since it was break. Johnny could be heard screaming about Soc's from outside. No one noticed Patsy leaving with the baby she had just given birth to.
"Oh Soda, this is Terry. We've decided to adopt him since he and Pony are such amazing friends."
"I only spoke to him for like five minutes worth of time." Terry said, confused. The only person he had really talked to was Dally, so he figured he was his friend in this insane place.
"I feel the same way Terry!" Dally said happily. "You're the only person I've really ever connected with!" Dally had hearts in his eyes.
"I didn't say anything." Terry said, looking scared.
"Oh! It's just that we're such good friends that I can read your mind."
"Yeah…that must be it."
"Well you need someplace to go and seeing as we can barely make ends meet for ourselves, we need another person around." Darry said.
"You mean to get a job?"
"No, I mean to live here."
"Um…right…" This was a very awkward situation, so he was glad when Ponyboy suggested they go get Johnny and take him to get ice-cream, so he would calm down.
On the way to the store a Soc boy came out of nowhere. "Know what? I don't want to be your friend!"
"I don't care?"
"HAHA You is not worthy!" He left with a smug smile on his Social face. He was a Soc, he didn't have to use "proper grammar."
Terry, Dally, Johnny and Ponyboy continued walking.
"I
feel sad." Ponyboy said, frowning.
"Why?" Johnny asked.
"I suddenly want to be his friend."
"Oh," Dally began wisely.
"Here comes another one of Dally's New York brag stories…" Johnny said.
"…that reminds me of the time I was in New York and I was robbing a store…then my friend came over and said hello and left. Then I got put in jail for being tuff."
"That had nothing to do with it." Ponyboy said angrily.
"Oh…right… I just felt like telling that story."
"It wasn't even good!"
"I'm TOUGH it doesn't have to be good." Dally said.
"Right then…" Terry muttered, "Let's just go get the ice-cream."
"He's right." Said Soda who had been following them.
"Soda, I didn't notice you there!" Ponyboy said and wagged a finger at him.
"I was right next to you the whole time!"
Ponyboy looked exasperated. "Well you know I never look on my left side!"
"I was on your right side."
"You know I never look on my right side." He corrected himself.
"Okilie doodley!" Soda grinned stupidly, trying out a new catch phrase.
"Hey!" Johnny said looking around, "Where's Steve? You two go almost everywhere together! You'd think he'd be stalking us right along with you! Is he hiding in a tree, or your pants?"
"Or is he hiding in your hair!" Dally said eagerly, trying to get in on the guessing. "I'll bet five bucks it's the hair! Come on Soda! Where is he?"
"I don't know! Why would you just assume that? I'm not his babysitter. We do NOT go everywhere together!"
"Yeah you do…the
bathroom, dates, work, school—well before at least—walks, movies, dinner, our
house…When have you ever been apart from him."
Soda looked annoyed. "News flash we're two completely, separate people! Why
does everyone always think we go together! I'm Soda he's Steve. I'm a thinking,
breathing, hot, independent, individual, and he's Steve!"
"So you're insulting Steve then?"
"NO, IM SAYING WE'RE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE! Not two heads on one body!" (1)
"Sheesh, we were just wondering."
"Yeah, we were just saying you two are usually together."
"Yeah I guess so, but Steve and I aren't speaking!"
"Ok…but where is he?"
"You don't want to know…" Soda said darkly.
Or do we? Find out in the next compelling chapter of: TIME TRAVLIN' TERRY!
