Chapter 12:
Soda POV:
"I wonder what happened to Pony last night, he never came to pick up Mally." I told Steve forgetting about everyone else that was in the kitchen with us.
"What are you talking about?" Darry asked.
"Pony had a date with Angie last night, and he said he'd be here around 1:00 to pick up Mally, but he never came." I informed him.
"Ponyboy wouldn't do anything like that." Darry said reading in between the lines.
"How do you know? I mean he did go off to college for three years and without us knowing, had a child." Steve put in.
"That may be true, but I still trust him." Darry said before leaving the kitchen and going into the living room, where Mason and Mally were watching cartoons. Everything was quiet for a while until we heard the front door open and close and Mally scream,
"DADDY!"
I jumped up, and ran into the living room.
Pony POV:
"DADDY!" Mally screamed as soon as she saw me.
"Hey babygirl. Did you have fun with your uncles and aunts yesterday?" I asked her.
"Ya."
"That's good." I said and she turned back to watching cartoons with Mason.
"So, how'd it go last night Pone?" Soda asked from the doorway leading to the kitchen.
"Fine."
"What happened between you two?" Two-Bit piped up.
"Nothin."
"I highly doubt that." Steve smirked.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked him.
"Please, just admit that you lost all and any will power you had." Steve challenged, and the room was silent except for the cartoons and Mason's and Mally's laughter.
"Alright, so what if I did? What's it to ya, anyway?" I gave in.
"Nothin, cept for the fact that I was in fact right."
"Wahtever, I gotta go. Mally and I have a meeting with the principal of the local Kindergarten." I said before picking up Mally's bag, and Mally and heading for the door. "Oh, by the way. It's Mally's birthday in two weeks and Maddie and I are planning a party, you guys should definitely come." I said, and then left.
Darry POV:
I was still lost in my thoughts when Pony left.
"Maybe we should throw Mally a surprise party." Two-Bit piped up.
"Wouldn't work, dumb-ass. She already knows she's getting a party." Steve stated.
"So who exactly is going?" Soda asked, and everyone spoke at once.
"We'll go."
"Sure, why not we've got no plans."
"We're definitely coming."
"Cool, I'll call Ponyboy later and let him know." I spoke up. And got up to leave for the gym.
"Where ya going Dar?" Soda asked.
"Gym." Was my reply.
Soda POV:
"Where else would the one and only Superman go?" Dally joked.
"You could use a trip to the gym yourself, you know." Silvia spoke up.
"WHAT?"
"Ya, I think ya'll should go together. And I mean all of ya." Silvia said pointing to me, Steve, Two-Bit, Johnny, and Dally.
"Hey Superman! Wait up we're coming too!" I shouted and ran to get my sweats. Half an hour later we where all at the gym.
Pony POV:
After confirming that Mally would start pre-school after the summer, I decided to drop Mally off at Jason's and Maddie's with Maddie and go to the gym with Jason for a little work out.
"So, how'd the meeting go?" Jason asked me as we drove down to the gym.
"It was fine, Mally starting pre-school after this summer, so that helps a lot with the day-care factor." I told him.
"So where exactly is this gym?" Jason asked as I made a right turn.
"It's just a few blocks from here; my brother Darry always went there. It's the best for what we can afford, right now." I said as I made a left turn.
"Sounds good enough for me." He said. 10 minutes later we were at the gym.
"Hey, isn't that your friend Johnny over there?" Jason asked me when we entered.
"Ya, and look, there's Two-Bit and Dally." I pointed out, looking around to find Darry, Soda and Steve too.
"Looks like everyone thought they needed a work out today." Jason said as we walked over to Dally and Two-Bit, who were lifting weights.
"Hey, what are you guys doin here?" I asked when we reached them.
"Darry said he was going to the gym and then Silvia suggested that we all go so, here we are." Two-Bit answered.
"What about you two?" Dally asked.
"Thought we could use a work out." Jason said.
"Cool, maybe we'll all go for a beer afterwards." Two-Bit joked. At least I think he was joking, you can't always be too sure with him.
Two weeks later:
Pony POV:
So today was the day of Mally third birthday party. Everyone was here, and when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Dally, Silvia, and Mason, Two-Bit and Sam, Johnny and Nancy, Steve and Evie, Darry and Kayla, Soda and Katie, Maddie and Jason, and even Angie had come. Mally really seemed to like Angie, and seeing as I really liked Angie, it made my life a lot easier. Mally had also invited some friends that she had made at the park, there was Jessica(her best friend), Alexa, and Brianne.
Elvis was playing full blast, the kids were running around playing tag or something, and all the adults were just eating the chips and talking. When suddenly the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Silvia shouted as she left for the door. She came back a few seconds later tell me that it was for me.
"Hi, how can I help…" I stopped in mid sentence when I saw a man around my age and Jamie standing on my front porch.
Thanx for the reviews! I'll try to update soon, in the meantime please R&R.:)
