'Kay people, chapter 5 is done!

a/n: I own Arianna. And SodaNDallysgrl410 owns Nichole!

I Guess I Ain't The Only Arrival

Arianna's POV

I sat on the couch watching everyone running around the house. Well actually, I mean Soda running around the house. He was trying to find his DX shirt and his jeans. I'm guessing Soda isn't good at finding things. It was sorta amusing 'cause he was running around with only his towel on. I started to look around the living room, maybe Soda left it around here.

"Hey, what's that?" I pointed at something that Dally was sitting on.

"What's what?" Dally said looking at what i was pointing at. "Soda your shirt." he said reaching for the shirt.

Soda came running into the living room so fast that his towl fell off. But just my luck, Steve was there in time to cover him; so no one saw anything. damnit!

"Thanks for keeping my shirt warm, Dally..." Soda said taking the shirt and running into his room. I couldn't help but laugh. I was laughing a bit hard 'cause next thing i know someone is tapping my shoulder from behind.

"Hey, can you keep it down." Ponyboy said while yawning.

"Sorry Pony" i giggled. "Well it's about time you woke up anyway. It's 8 in the morning." I said trying to talk seriously

"Yeah, but if you stay up at 1:30 A.M worrying about your friend, you get pretty tired later on." He said shaking Johnny for him to get up too.

I was touched. I just met Ponyboy and he already considered me as one of his friends! "Aww Pony!" i hugged him and then hugged Johnny even though he was half asleep.

" 'Morning y'all" Johnny said rubbing his eyes.

"Hey John, you slept late too?" Dally asked.

"Yeah, makin' sure Arianna would be okay." Johnny said getting up from the couch.

"I feel loved!" i said sounding conceited.

"Alright guys, we'll be back later." Darry said leaving the house.

"Bye you guys" Steve said leaving the house right behind Darry.

"Yeah, come by the gas station when you can." Soda said to me before he left with Steve and Darry.

So it was only me, Pony, Johnny, and Dally in the living room. Oh yeah, and my lazy ass cousin knocked out in Soda's room. It was quiet for a minute, then i got up from the couch. "What we doin' today?" I asked.

"Not sure. We'll figure it out later." Ponyboy said walking into the kitchen.

"I'll be back later. Gonna go home for a minute." Johnny said

"Why do you wanna go home?" Dally asked.

"Well you know how my parents get into raging fights. I wanna see if everythin' is alright."

" 'kay. But meet us back here 'kay?" Ponyboy said heading towards the bathroom

"Alright. Bye"

So now it was me and Dally alone in the living room. I felt really uncomfortable, he kept looking at me. He was about to reach for my hand, 'till i shot up.

"I'm gonna wake up Two-Bit. I don't care if he's tired!" i said walking into Soda's room. I saw Two-Bit laying on Soda's bed this time, i guess Soda must've lifted him up there. Next thing you know there is a loud yelp. I jumped on Two-Bit stomach, i didn't know what else to do.

"Damn Ari, you know your not light-weighted anymore." Two-Bit said chuckling.

I took that as an insult, he's trying to say i gained weight! I jumped on his stomach again, he then got up and i got him in a head lock.

"Hollar uncle!" I yelled.

"no..." he tried grasping for breath.

"Just say it!"

"No!"

I got bored so i let him go. "Let's do something, I'm bored."

"Let's go get something to eat then." he said

"Sounds kool to me. C'mon" I said running into the living room. "Dal, Pony, c'mon let's get somethin' to eat!" I said jumping around the room.

"Go out...we got food here." Ponyboy said pointing towards the cooler.

"Geez Pony, you sure sucked out all the fun in that." i said drooping onto the couch.

"C'mon Ponyboy. It'll be fun." Two-Bit said putting on his leather jacket. "I'm buyin'"

"Fine, but let's go pick up Johnny on the way." Ponyboy said

I shot up "Alright! Let's go!" I was the first one out the door. Once we were all out i was practically running towards Johnny house. I didn't even know where he lived, but i guess i was going the right way 'cause they were following me. I looked back making sure they were still behind, they were yelling something at me but I couldn't hear them. Then suddenly i knocked into someone.

"Shit!" i thought it was a Soc. I wasn't in the mood to face another Soc. It turned out to be a girl. I looked at her, she looked familar.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking ahead." I said helping her up.

"It's 'kay, i wasn't payin' attention either." she said dusting the dirt off of her.

"Nichole!" i heard Ponyboy yell. i turned and they were all behind me. "Who's Nichole?" I asked

"I am" the girl said. Ponyboy then went in front of her. "It's been awhile. How've been?" he asked

"Hey Nichole, long time no see." Dally's face lit up.

"Hey Dally!" she hugged him "Well you havent changed a bit."

"Yeah in 3 months you don't really change much, Nikki." Ponyboy chuckling.

"Sorry to interrupt, but how do you know each other?" i asked dumbfoundingly.

"Ari, you can't be that slow... it's Ponyboy's cousin." Two-Bit said shaking Nichole's hand.

"Oh no wonder they looked familar." I said looking at her and Pony. "Hi, the name's Arianna. I'm Two-Bit's cousin."

"Oh i never knew Two-Bit had a cousin." she said

"Yeah well i guess he kept me on the down low." i said giving Two-Bit a look that said 'thanks alot for talking about me to your friends'

"Why don't we go see Soda. He'll be happy to see you." Ponyboy asked Nichole.

My eyes widened. Yes! I'm gonna see Soda again! I was so happy, that i had a huge grin on my face. Even Two-Bit noticed 'cause he started smiling when my face lit up.

"And i know someone else who will be happy to see Soda too." Two-Bit said looking at me with a grin.

I felt my face get hot. I was probably as red as a tomatoe. I went ahead of everyone and yelled

"Yeah, umm let's go!"
