Disclaimer: S. E. Hinton owns the outsiders. My friend owns Brooklyn go read her story Go Get 'Em. I own Zoey and Ricky

After Rickey slid into our booth, Zoey took the honor of introducing us.

"Rickey this is Ponyboy, Ponyboy this is Rickey."

I just nodded my head in his direction the tuff outllook of my greaser self coming through. Rickey stuck out his hand for me to shake but I just started coldly at it until his hand shrank away.

"So how do you and Ponyboy know each other" Rickey asked Zoey.

"He hangs out with my older cousins." she explained.

"How do you know Rickey" I asked Zoey.

"He's my ex-boyfriend." she told me looking down as she said that.

I put my arm over her shoulder to show that I was okay that he was sitting here with us because she seemed to think that I would be ashamed of her.

Rickey took my arm over her shoulder as a wrong sign. "So are you guys like together now" he asked us.

Zoey seemed scared to answer it so I did "Why do you care?" I questioned him.

He paused for a second then answered my question "I care because breaking u with Zoey was the biggest mistake of my life."

"Well too bad because I would never get back together with you. You broke my heart Rickey now just leave" Zoey said her voice so strong it seemed to surprise not just me and Rickey but herself too.

"Who's gonna make me sweetheart." he demanded.

I leaned over and whispered in Zoey's ear. "Go get Two-bit and the Shepards I keep him distracted."

She slid out of the booth as I asked Rickey "why did you two break up anyway."

"I found someone else but then she started to cheat on me and we broke up and ever since then I've wanted to get Zoe back but she moved away and I haven't seen her since then." he spoke slowly. Slowly enough that by the time he was done out of the corner of my eye I saw Zoey had reached Two-bit and he was starting to get up and come over to my table with Tim and Curly in tow.

He reached my table in a matter of minutes and I got up and took Zoey over to where Brooklyn and her friends were sitting. I walked back and fell in line next to Curly Shepard all of us glaring coldly down at Rickey. I was regretting this but I had to look tough because I was a greaser after all.

Seeing that he was outnumbered he slid out f the booth and walked out the door.

After he left Zoey came up to me and said "Thank you Ponyboy he had me scared."

"You didn't act like it but let's just go." I told her as I started to walk out of the Dingo.
