Thanksgiving Day. It had been four days since Johnny and Cade fought and they were not speaking to one another.
"CADDDDEEEE…is this gravy supposed to be on fire?"
"WHAT?" Cade shouted, running over to Casey who was standing by the stove with the flaming gravy, Cade grabbed the ever-faithful-randomness-fire-thingy (AN: What's the thing that puts out fire? Sorry, I'm having a complete blonde moment.) And put the fire out, looking at the now-black gravy,
"Hey Darry, I hope you like well-done gravy.."
Darry poked his head in, "Do I want to…"
"No, not really. No"
Everyone started coming at round 4 for dinner, the first being Soda and Steve who sat down at the table slamming their forks down,
"FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!"
Cade was busy with Pony and Darry cooking the turkey and trying to keep Two-Bit and Steve from eating everything in sight,
"Hey guys…you ARE aware we have to COOK the food?" Cade asked,
Steve and Two-Bit looked at each other, an idea dawning on them, before looking at Cade,
"OOOOOHHHhhhhhh…"
Finally the food was done cooking and everyone was at the table. Cade sat between Sodapop and Johnny, which was extremely awkward for Cade. It wasn't that she liked fighting with Johnny…
"Now, BEFORE we eat, let's all say something we're thankful for." Darry said, glaring at Sodapop who was laughing,
"Oh, you're serious?"
"Why don't you start?" Darry asked Soda, and Soda looked around,
"Um….I'm thankful for...Casey!" he said, sending an air hug to Casey who was on the other side of the table,
They went around the table telling each other what they're thankful for until they got to Dallas.
"Dallas?"
Dallas stared at Darry before looking around the table and looking around nervously
"I'm thankful for having my sister here." He said quickly, looking down.
Next was Johnny,
"I'm thankful for…um…the Curtis family, of course, and um…I'm just thankful I guess, to be here with everyone. You are the best friends a guy could ever have."
"AWWWWWWW"
"Gee Johnnycakes; what corny movie did you get that out of?"
"Shut up Two-Bit! It was sweet." Casey pointed out.
Last of all was Cade, and she had no clue what to say at all, so she looked around at them, her words frozen,
"Well, Cade?"
She looked at Dallas and finally realized she had something to say,
"What am I thankful for? I'm thankful for my health, for my fortune, and for the gang…but most of all, I'm thankful for my big brother, if he hadn't taken me in, who knows where I'd be right now. Thank you Dally…now LET'S EAT!!!"
Dallas looked at Cade and cracked a rare grin before looking down at his plate while Soda yipped and immediately started shoveling food into his mouth, while Cade and Casey held up napkins in a unsuccessful attempt to block the flying food,
"MANNERS SODA!"
Soda poked his head up,
"hmmmph?"
