Wow 100 reviews I can't believe it. I have never got 100 reviews on my other stories that I've written on here. I just can't believe it thank you so much to the people who have reviewed you really keep my writing alive. Just thank you. Now I know you want to get on with the story so let's get on with it.

It was about 8:05P.M. when Ponyboy stepped in the door from taking Courtney home. When he stepped into the living room he saw Soda watching T.V. Two-bit and Steve playing a nice game of poker which would eventually turn into a wrestling match, and Darry sitting in his arm chair reading the newspaper they all looked up with smiles when they saw him enter the room.

"What?" Ponyboy asked as he made his way to the couch to sit next to Soda and he realized that he might be red in the face and he tried to cover it with his hands.

"That Courtney is a very nice girl; she seems like a good friend for you." Darry said smiling.

"Yeah, she is a very good friend and very nice." Ponyboy said still red in the face. Two-bit decided to take this moment and make a wise crack, he sat down by Pony and said.

"So are you two love birds now or what?" Two-bit laughed and dodged the punch that Pony tried to make at his head. Darry, Soda, and Steve all laughed at him.

"Shut it Two-bit." Ponyboy said angry.

"Aw come on Pony I'm just messin with ya." Two-bit said smiling one of his goofy grins which made Pony smile.

"Yeah, whatever." Pony replied which caused everyone to laugh.

"Man Pony you sure have a good catch on your hands." Steve said. "That Courtney is a doll." Steve said grinning knowing that the comment would make him pissed.

That was the last straw for Pony he nearly exploded.

"Can't you guys shut up now I know Courtney is a very nice and pretty girl. She makes my heart pound every time I see her and my knees go numb and I get all sweaty. I love her do you hear me I love her. And Randall if I ever hear you talking about her like that I will pound you am I clear. She is not a greasy girl that's a piece of meat she is a lady and she will be treated like one. Got it." Ponyboy said he was on the verge of taking his fist and pounding Steve clear into the wall. Steve just looked at Pony and quietly nodded his head and kept his mouth shut. The others were just sitting quietly shocked by Pony's outburst, everything was so quiet. It felt like the whole world stood still for a minute.

"I'm going to bed, goodnight." Ponyboy announced making his way to his room.

"Goodnight Ponyboy." Everyone said together and then Ponyboy shut the door behind him.

"Man, I didn't know the kid had it in him to explode like that. Steve you sure pissed him off huh." Two-bit said laughing and soon everyone started laughing.

"Shut up Two-bit, I didn't know the kid was going to get that angry, I just did it for laughs." Steve said red in the face from his embarrassment.

"One's things for sure though Pony really does care about Courtney a whole lot I think everyone in this room just witnessed that." Darry said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"I like Courtney a lot I like how she makes Pony happy." Soda said.

"I hope they will stay together for a long time." Darry said. "Oh, there is not a doubt in my mind that they will be together, they are so right for each other." Soda said as he looked at Darry and smiled. Darry smiled back at him so glad that their brother found someone who made him so very happy.
