Chapter 3
"Jenna Strikes Back: A New Mission"
Jenna's POV
After Dally and I went to get a soda from the deli we went out and took a joy ride in his car. It was getting dark so he dropped me off at the Curtis's house. I asked if he was going to come in with me, but he said he had some business to take care of. I entered the Curtis's house alone and Ponyboy and two other guys were eating at the dinner table.
"Hi, you're Jenna, right?" One of the boys asked. I nodded my head, I didn't move from the door way.
"This is my brother, Sodapop, and that's my other brother Darry." Ponyboy said bringing his plate into the kitchen table.
"H-Hi" I said. I get nervous when I'm on the spot.
"So you're Dally's younger sister, huh. Why did you come to see him anyway?" Darry asked.
"No offence, but my reason is kind of personal." I said staring at the floor.
"None taken, I understand. It's a family thing." Darry said facing Soda.
"You can sit if you like." Soda asked getting up from the kitchen table.
I sat down at the edge of the couch. I wondered when Dally would come back. I didn't want to be in a place where I just met the people. Ponyboy then came out of the kitchen and sat down on the armchair.
"So how'd it go today?" he asked.
"Well I crashed Dally's date. It was the best. That broad, Julie, had what was coming to her." I said giving a cocky smile. Ponyboy chuckled and then let out a sigh.
"Are you going to stay here for tonight?" He asked. He was the only one I think I could normally talk to, other then Dally of course.
"I don't know. I think Dally's gonna come back and take me to his place or something." I said taking off my shoes and lying down on the couch. Ponyboy got up from the couch and went inside his room, then came back with a blanket.
"Here just in case you get cold in the night." He said, handing me the blanket.
"Thanks, but I doubt I'll use it. Dally will come any minute." I said staring out the window. I shut my eyes for about a minute, I wasn't technically sleeping. I still heard what was going on.
"I'm gonna be out all night with Steve, alright Darry?" I heard Soda ask.
"Where you gonna be this late?" Darry's muscular voice echoed in the living room.
"We're going to this new club; I forgot what it was called. But it just opened, and me and Steve will be partying all night." Soda chuckled.
"Where you gonna crash for the night?"
"I'll probably be at Steve's place."
"Be careful"
"Okay"
I heard the door slam shut. I perked my head up and then the lights turned off. I laid my head back on the couch, and shut my eyes again. The next time I woke up was because of the loud thunder. I checked outside the window; it was raining very hard. When the lightening flashed I shivered and hid under the blanket. The thunder seemed to be getting louder and louder.
I got up from the couch and walked into Pony's room. He looked so comfortable. I wrinkled my forehead and jumped on his bed. I sat down next to him and shook him, so he could wake up.
"Hey Pony, wake up." I whispered.
"Hmm?" Ponyboy said rubbing his eyes. "Jenna? What are you doing here?"
"I can't sleep. Can I stay with you?" I didn't like thunder storms, they scared me.
"Umm sure" Ponyboy moved over a little. I laid down face up, staring at the ceiling. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I just don't like thunder storms." When I heard the thunder again I huddled next to Ponyboy. He didn't seem scared of the thunder, and he didn't seem to mind that I was cuddling next to him. He put his arm over me, and then I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up Ponyboy was still sleeping next to me. I sighed and shook him a little.
"Hey Pony, wake up." I said, I sat up and started to stretch.
"Morning" Ponyboy sounding drowsy, "Sleep well?" He said with a smile.
"Yep, your bed is real comfy." I said giving him one of my signature smiles.
"Oh gawd…" I heard a voice say from the door. Pony and I both turned our heads and found Dally with his mouth wide open. "What the hell! You're sleeping with my sister, Pony?" Dally grabbed Ponyboy by his shirt.
"Dally let him go! We didn't do anything…" I said. Dally then dropped Ponyboy on the bed.
"How do I know you're not lying?" He asked.
"Do I look like I did 'it' last night?" I asked stretching my arms.
"You mean you've done 'it' before?" Dally asked, he actually sounded concerned.
"Uhh yeah" I said giving my brother a cocky smile.
"Why you…" Dally said trying to grab me, but I was laughing so hard that I ducked and ran to the bathroom.
When I finished taking a shower I walked into the living room. Dally was slouched on the couch reading the newspaper.
"Ha, when do you read the morning paper, Dal?" I asked walking up to him.
"Since the last time I got my picture in it." He said with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes and turned on the TV. Ponyboy then came into the living room and sat on the armchair.
"So what are we gonna do today?" I asked putting my arm around Dally.
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to Buck's for awhile. I'm getting my pay today."
"Your pay? What do you do?"
"I do some rodeo, I work for Buck."
"Oh can we come?" I asked gesturing for Pony to butt in.
"It'll be boring; you guys wouldn't want to go." Dally tried to discourage me.
"Hmph, fine Pony and I will just go out by ourselves." I said sitting on Pony's lap.
"We will?" Ponyboy asked. I nodded my head and grabbed Pony by his hand and led him out the door.
"Where are we going?" Pony asked when we hid around his house.
"Shhh! We're gonna follow Dal." I said. "You'll be my assistant. The business is crashing Dally's dates."
"Are you sure about this? Why don't you let Dal date some girls?" Ponyboy said. I guess he didn't want to get slugged by my bro.
"Because! So are you in or are you out?" I asked. I felt like a spy, it was the best feeling I had ever since I came to this town.
"Alright"
"Yes! We'll be official 'Dating Crashers'." I said while humming the 'James Bond' song. Ponyboy chuckled and stood next to me while we waited for Dally to come out.
After about 5 minutes Dally finally came out. He opened the gate and walked down the block.
C'mon Pony, he's on the move!" I said as I jumped over the gate. Ponyboy did the same. We were across the street from Dally, following his every move. Dally froze for a minute and then ran around the block. I gave Ponyboy a puzzlingly look, then we both ran to catch up to Dally.
"You think he saw us?" I asked while running.
"I doubt it" Ponyboy said. Ponyboy ran a lot faster then me but he slowed down 'cause I couldn't run any faster. When I finally got a sight of my brother he was in a fight with two other guys.
"Typical, Dally joined in the fighting." Ponyboy said in between a few gasps for breath.
"Hey look" I said pointing towards a girl leaning against a brick wall, she was trying to avoid the fight. "It seems Dally wanted to be a hero today." I wrinkled my forehead and crossed my arms.
After the two guys left, Pony and I got closer to Dally and the girl. We were hiding on a corner of an alley way. We could hear them perfectly.
"Are you alright?" Dally asked.
"Yeah, thanks so much." The girl replied.
"What's your name?" I got a peek to see Dally's expression. He was showing his seductive smile.
"Lena" She said getting closer to Dal. "Are you doing anything now?"
"Not at the moment"
"How about you and me go hang out."
"You read my mind" Dally and Lena were hand-in-hand already.
"Alright Pony, operation date crashing" I gave Pony a smirk. Our first mission: Lena is going down!
Ohhh another victim for Jenna to terrorize! And with the help of Ponyboy, this will be a mission like no other. Please stay tune and review!
