Don't own The Outsiders. Only own Dani and PreppyKrissy owns Serena

Chapter 6

Two-Bit's POV

Mickey Mouse is the greatest television show in the world! What's not to love about a black and white mouse. It catches your attention, and then you find yourself not able to look away from it. Well, that's how I feel anyway.

I was in the Curtis's living room, watching it, when Soda comes into the house, slamming the door and freeing me from my trance.

"Hey Two-Bit," he said and sat down on the couch next to me.

"Hey Soda. How was work?"

"Fine, as usual."

Dani came into the living room and sat down on my lap. "God Dani, how come you're sittin' on me and not Soda?"

"Soda now has a girlfriend and you don't."

"How do ya know I don't got a girlfriend?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"See told ya." I rolled my eyes, and she started talking to Sodapop. "So how was your date last week? I haven't had a chance to ask you."

"It was good. We had fun."

There was a silence. I assumed Dani was waiting for Soda to fill her in on all the details. When he didn't, she sighed and said, "What's her name? How old? What's she look like?"

"Sandy, 17, long, blond hair, blue eyes, beautiful."

"Oh, how cute. Sodapop's got himself a little girlfriend. Honey, he's growing up so fast," I said to Dani and she smacked me.

"So what did you guys do?" Dani asked.

"First we went out to eat at the Dingo, and then we went to the movies."

"Oh, and did you kiss her?"

He didn't say anything, just grinned.

"You kissed her! That's great, Sodapop! When and where?"

"Well, after the movie, we took a walk in the park and stopped at the fountain, and I kissed her."

"Oh, that's so romantic." I rolled my eyes.

"I think it's time you stopped butting into Soda's personal stuff," I said.

"Shut up, Two-Bit. Are you gonna go out with her again?"

"Yeah, we're goin' out tonight."

"That's cool, Sodapop. I'm happy for you."

"Thanks."

"Hey guys," Steve said, walking in the door.

"Quick Steve, run before Dani starts prying into your personal life," I said, and Dani smacked me again.

"What's with the hitting? You're gettin' more like Dal everyday," I said.

"Thanks."

"That wasn't a compliment." She rolled her eyes.

"Hey Pony, Mark, Johnny," Soda said when they walked in the door.

"Hey Mark. Long time no see," Dani said.

"Hey Dani," Mark replied.

Ponyboy walked into the kitchen. "Hey Pony, bring me a beer!" I yelled.

"Get it yourself!"

"I can't! Dani's on me!"

"Oh well! I guess you ain't gettin' one!"

"Fine, I'll get it myself!" I stood up, and Dani fell on the floor. She put a mad expression on her face. "You're fine," I said and walked into the kitchen.

Dani's POV

"Give me your hand," Mark said to me.

I placed my hand in his, and he pulled me to my feet. "Thanks."

"No problem."

I sat down on the couch, in the spot previously occupied by Two-Bit, and motioned for Mark to sit next to me. "How old are you?"

"Fifteen goin' on sixteen. How old are you?"

"Seventeen," I paused. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No way. Not into commitment."

"Oh." I moved closer to him. "Me neither."

"See Mark, I told ya she was a tease," Soda said, grinning.

Mark smiled and said, "That's okay. I can deal with the flirting. It's the mushy romantic stuff I hate."

"Good. Me too," I said, practically sitting on top of him.

"Leave the kid alone, Dani. He's only fifteen," Darry said, walking into the room.

"Oh, c'mon Dar. He doesn't mind."

"How do you know?"

"Do you mind me flirting with you?" I asked Mark.

"No."

"See, told ya." I turned to face Darry.

I moved over onto Mark's lap and whispered some seductive phrases in his ear, and he did the same to me. I giggled afterwards. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips, and he gave me an even longer one.

"Jesus Christ, Dani! Get off the kid! He's too young for ya," Dallas said.

I rolled my eyes and got off of Mark's lap.

"How come you ain't with Pony?" Dal asked him.

"He's in the kitchen gettin' food and I don't want none."

"Whatever. Dani just stop flirting with him," he said and sat down in Darry's chair.

"Hey Serena," I said when she walked into the house.

"Hey Dani, guys. Do you still need to get ready?"

"Yeah," I said and stood up.

"Ready for what?" Two-Bit asked as he, Steve, and Pony came into the living room.

"Ready to go out partying," Serena answered.

"Can I join you?"

"No. Girls only," I said.

"Aww, c'mon. Everyone else has plans. Soda, Steve, and Darry have dates; Pony and Mark are goin' on the Ribbon; Johnny and Dal are goin' to the Dingo. I'm all by my lonesome."

"Oh well, Two-Bit. You're gonna have to find something to do because you can't join us."

"What're ya doin' after you're done partyin'?"

"Comin' back here and doin' girl stuff."

"Oh."

"Yeah, so if you'll excuse us, we gotta get ready. See ya later, Mark."

"Bye Dani," he said and I followed Serena to her room.

Pony's POV

Mark and I were walking to his house to get a ride to the Ribbon from his brother, Bryon.

"Hey, sorry about the way Dani acted. She's a big flirt," I said, apologizing to him.

"It's no problem. I really didn't mind."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, believe me. How could you mind a chick flirting with you when she's that hot?"

"I don't know, but she doesn't do that with everyone."

"Really? Who doesn't she?"

"Me. I'm more of a friend than someone she flirts with."

"Man, that's gotta suck. Especially since she flirts with everyone around you."

"Not everyone. She doesn't flirt with Darry."

"Well, I think he's a little old for her. So does it bother you that you're the only one?"

"Nah, I'm used to it. Besides I like my friendship with her."

"Okay man," Mark said as we reached his house, and we walked inside.
