"So! Ponyboy..." Sodapop sat down at the kitchen table with a glass of chocolate milk, " What are doing tonight?"

Ponyboy shrugged, " Nothing, I guess..."

"Nothing?"

"Nothing..."

Dallas, Two-Bit, Johnny and Steve had come in. Just in time for breakfast. As usual. They all sat down around the table, " So, What are you guys doing tonight?" Dallas asked.

"Well...Me and Steve - "

"Steve and I.." Ponyboy corrected. Then there was a long silence...then Sodapop continued, "Yeah, so, anyway, Me and Steve are going to a party."

" 'k. What about you?" Dallas nodded toward Darrel, who mearly shrugged,or, they thought he shrugged..he was practically hidden behind the news paper. " Some guys from work are coming over to play some cards."

"Pony? What you got planned for tonight?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Nothing!" Ponyboy was getting annoyed.

"But its Halloween! You gotta do somethin'..." Two-Bit said, then he pondered for a moment, " I got it! You can come with Me, Dal, and Johnny."

Darrel lowered the paper, " What exactly are you guys doing tonight?"

"Well...The usual Greaser Halloween Havoc with the Tim and his gang...And we could use every man we can get...We got alotta ground to cover." Dallas said, leaning back in his chair.Ponyboy looked over at Johnny, surprised he'd agree to go with Dallas to do that. Johnny just shrugged.

"Yeah, I mean..we gotta cover the West side this year, Man. T.p-ing well-kept lawns, Egg houses, slash tires, blow up mail boxes, break some windows...And then of course, we still need time to torture all the people walking around town..." Two-Bit was grinning and scratching one of his side-burns.

Darrel looked over at Ponyboy, " You ain't goin' "

"Well, What's the kid supposed to do, then?" Dallas asked, getting up and walking over to the fridge to get himself a drink.

"Well...It says here they're playing a bunch of horror movies at that old movie theater." Darrel said, " Says everyone wearing black, orange or red only pay a buck twenty-five to watch all four movies."

"Oh?" Ponyboy was interested, "What's playing?"

"Uh..Dracula...Frankenstine, I Was a Teenage Werewolf...oh, and Nosferatu." Darrel told him, then folded the paper, " They start at 6 and should be over near midnight."

"Sounds Great!" Ponyboy said with some excitement. He couldn't wait. Movie theaters hardly every played those old black and white movies, and he always wanted to see Nosferatu. Last time it was playing in town, It was too late for him to go alone, and no one wanted to go and see a one and a half hour, black and white, silent movie. " You'd let me stay out that late, Darry?" He asked.

"Sure...I mean, it is a Friday, and I can come and pick you up. " Darrel told him. " Now." he stood up, " get ready for school..."

------------------------------

Ponyboy had walked to the theater. He had on a pair of black jeans and a old black tee-shirt. He wasn't the only one around dressed in all black tonight. He passed several small groups of Greasers, clad in black and wearing masks, already smashing cars of Soc's who unwisely parked their cars there. Also, he passed a bunch of little kids that had just headed out trick or treating, dresses as goblins and ghouls.

He paid the admission and went into the lobby. He couldn't help but notice this..one girl. She couldn't of been more than 5'1. She had shoulder-length blond hair that had a slight curl near the bottom. She had a plaid skirt, with the colors of black, grey and white in it with a black satin blazer. White, knee high socks, clean Mary-Jane shoes, thin, cute butt...then he began to blush, realizing he was checking her out. He had never done that to a girl before. The girl turned around, though didn't yet notice boy gawking at her. He noticed her sapphire-blue eyes, an immaculate white blouse with a black tie and a school crest on the upper right side of the blazer. This girl went to an expensive, private, all girl school. So what is she doing here? He thought. This was the only movie theater in the East side, most of the others were in neutral territory. Much safer for someone like her...But then he thought, It was Halloween...it wasn't very safe anywhere.

After the first movie had ended, there was a 10 minutes break, and once again, he noticed the blond. He couldn't help it.Besides...there were only about 7 people there. 2 Greasers. 3 middle-classers. And the blond. It wasn't like him. He spent alot of time during the second movie looking at her..She was sitting her legs crossed, causing her skirt to rise, exposing most of her thigh. He forced himself to watch the movie after that...he felt his cheeks get hot.

After minutes before they started the last movie, Nosferatu, When everyone returned to their seats, Ponyboy took a seat 1 seat away from the blond, their eyes meant for a moment. They exchanged a little smile and a nod, then watched the movie.

It was over at about eleven thirty.Everybody left the theater and mumbled in annoyance at the fact that their drives were not there yet.But not the blond. Apparently, her drive was there...Ponyboy looked in the direction she was heading. The guy in the car, he figured a boyfriend, sat in the front seat, his head back, looked as if he was panting. Then, all of the sudden, a girl sat up in the seat next to him, wiped her mouth, gave the guy a kiss, then got out of the car. The blond had stopped and the guy then seemed to notice her. He stepped out of the car and went over to her, then they talked, he guessed, argued. But she didn't yell at him, she didn't seem to want to make a scene. The boyfriend seemed to get fed up and left her standing in the parking lot...The least that jerk could of done was drive her home..Ponyboy thought.

The blond looked as if she was going to cry..But then she started to walk in the direction of the West side. Ponyboy chewed on his bottom lip slightly, then hurried up behind her," Wait..."

She stopped and turned around. She seemed slightly afraid. But he couldn't exactly blame her. Greasers weren't exactly known for their hospitable nature.."You know..its not that safe..to walk by yourself." He told her. " I mean...Well...I could walk you home..." He took another step toward her, " I mean...If you'd like.."

The blond blushed." Oh..." She smiled slightly, " That would be great..."

They walked for nearly 10 minutes in silence. The farther they walked into the west side of town, the more destruction there was. The blond had crossed her arms and looked around nervously. They could hear windows smashing, fire crackers going off, and people shouting and cheering. Ponyboy smiled abit and looked over at her, " Listen to them. Children of the Night.What music they make."

The blond giggled. But stopped when she saw a small group of Greasers walking this way. Ponyboy noticed right away that once again she was scared. He wasn't though. Two reasons. One, He too was a greaser. Two, even though they were wearing masks, he recognized them as Dallas, Two-Bit, Johnny, Tim and two other members of Tim's gang.He'd seen them earlier before he had left. Ponyboy moved over closer to the blond, " Don't worry...It'll be fine." He told her.

It took only a minute untill they crossed paths. And of course they ended being stopped.

"Pony," Dallas took of the hockey mask he was wearing, " I thought you were going to the movies?"

"I was at the movies, Dally. They're over now." Ponyboy said with a shrug.

"So, What? You just decided to take your blond for a walk?" Two-Bit asked, his face hidden behind a Batman mask.

The blond looked over at Ponyboy, who gave her a small smile, " Naw, Two-Bit. Just walking her home . So she wouldn't be bothered by abunch of greasy hoods, not unlike yourselves."

"Don't you start getin' mouthy, now, Ponyboy." Two-Bit said, though laughing slightly.

"Yeah, Whatever, Two-Bit." Ponyboy grabbed the blond's hand and pulled her though the gaggle of greasers and kept walking.

By the time they had gotten to the blond's house, It was past midnight. Ponyboy was standing on the front step with the blond..

"Thank you..for walking me home...It was really sweet of you." The blond gave Ponyboy a kiss on the cheek, " Good-Night." Then she went inside.

Ponyboy smiled. It was a goofy smile. Looked like he was out of it. He started to walk home. He stared at the ground as he walked. He kept thinking about the blond. ...

"PONYBOY!"

Ponyboy looked up and noticed Darrel had pulled up beside him. He got into the truck and they drove off..

"What the hell is wrong with you? I told you I'd come to pick you up!"

"uh-huh." He was looking out the window, still smiling.

"I was driving all over town trying to find you.."

"Uh-huh.."

"Then I find that your walking around on the West side by yourself!"

"That's nice.."

"Nice? Ponyboy, You got of gotten jumped.."

"That's nice..."

"You know, Soda and Steve got run over by a stampede of rouge Unicorns on their way home."

"Uh-huh."

"Steve had to get a horn pulled out of his ass.."

"That's nice..."

"The doctors say his in critical condition.."

"Swell..." he was still smiling.

"Ponyboy!"

Ponyboy looked over at Darrel, " Huh? Yeah. "

"You are not listening to me!"

"yes I am..."

"Then what the hell was I just saying?"

"Uh...something...something about unicorns?"

"Damnit, Pony! Tell me what the hell was so important you couldn't wait 10 damn minutes?"

" I was walking this..girl home.."

Darrel looked over at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Well..She had a drive, at first, I think it was her boyfriend, cause I think they broke up...anyway..She started to walk by herself, and then I offered to walk with her, cause, you know, its not that safe, right. Well, for her, I mean, like ,on the way home we ran into Dally and them, like...what if she ran into them walkin by herself.."

Darrel sighed, then Ponyboy continued, " Anyway, when we got to her house, she said I was sweet and gave me a kiss."

"So that's whats got you all, ' Uh-huh, That's nice' " He laughed abit and shook his head." So, tell be about her.."

"Well...She's beautiful! She's kinda short...Blond. The most amazing blue eyes. Kinda pale...Goes to that All Girl school...and well, she seems to like the classic movies.."

"Whats her name?"

"Uh...name?"

"Yeah...what is it?"

"Oh...shit..." Ponyboy muttered." Shit" He put his head in his hands, " Shit. I don't know"

"You don't know?"

"I didn't ask..."

Darrel started to laugh.

"Awe, man. Shut up.. It ain't funny."

"Yes it is."

"No...its not..." Ponyboy sighed. " Well...Shit.."
