Chapter Two: It's Our Destiny
We all sat around gathered around the television, a Friday night routine for all of us since the war started.
"Why do we have to do this every, single, night? I want to watch Mickey Mouse, how 'bout we put that on instead." Two-Bit asked impatiently sitting on the floor with his usual beer and chocolate cake.
"You know full well that any one of us besides Pony can get picked, we have to." Darry replied folding up his newspaper and putting it on the coffee table.
"But have any of us gotten picked yet? Nup, so can we please turn on Mickey Mouse now. It's a new episode tonight!!" Two-Bit begged.
"Hush up Two-Bit, it's on." Soda said playfully throwing a pop bottle cap at his head.
Two-Bit pouted but Soda grinned wildly.
On the television there were two women with nice blue dresses on one with red hair and the other with brown hair. They rolled out a cage with hundreds of ping pong balls in it.
They said the birthdays in the order they came out.
"January 24th, September 14th, February 23rd, June 4th, June 26th, March 1st ……"
Ponyboy gave a little squeak when he heard March 1st that was Johnny's birthday, but no one else seemed to notice, either that or they didn't want to point it out.
Two-Bit laid down on the floor stretching out his arms. He quickly grabbed the remote and changed the channel.
"Well whadda ya know!? I guess it's just our destiny to watch Mickey Mouse." He said putting his head in his hands paying close attention to the television.
"Two-Bit this isn't a joke, what if God forbid one of us got picked. We need to know, change it back." Darry said his cold eyes boring through Two-Bit.
He did what he was told and the birthdays were still being read off.
"May 22nd, February 12th, April 14th." The picking was over and Two-Bit turned Mickey Mouse back on.
"See didn't I tell ya none of us would get picked!" Two-Bit smiled.
Soda looked over at his best friend. He was white as a ghost, and looked like he was going to be sick.
"They said mine." Steve said quietly, like he was trying to convince himself that he wasn't hearing things.
It was awfully quiet.
Steve got up and kicked the wall so hard he left a hole.
"God dammit. God fucking dammit!" He shouted taking off and slamming the door behind him.
A/N: I liked this chapter cause it had some humor with Two-Bit, but there was still drama when Steve got picked. Please review I want to know what you thought, or how I could improve it.
