((OOC: Thank you applejax815! A fire extinguisher! But anywhosa, I don't know if it snows in Tulsa or how cold it gets, so if you know it snows, let me know! Many Thanks! And um…here's the latest! Sorry it's been so long. SEVERE writer's block, man))
November chills quickly left to be replaced by an even colder December air. Johnny and Cade still weren't speaking to each other, Dallas spent less and less time at home, and of course Casey was busy getting on everyone's nerves about Christmas.
One Friday after school, Cade went to her locker to find Danny waiting there for her. It had become a ritual, Danny waited for Cade by her locker and they walked out of school together, just talking and stuff, as they reached outside,
"GOD, it's FREEZING!" Cade yelped, jamming her hands into her pockets as Ponyboy approached,
"Ha-ha. Ready for winter?" he asked as they started walking home,
"Die."
Ponyboy looked at the frozen Cade shocked,
"Did you just tell me to die?"
"Die twice." She muttered, hiding her face in her coat.
Ponyboy laughed as they approached the high school where Pony saw Johnny and Casey waiting by the entrance and waved them over,
"Where's Steve and Soda?" No doubt Two-Bit would be with a girl…
"They went to go hang out with Evie and Sandy before the game." Casey reported, poking the top of Cade's head,
"Is she alive? Or just headless?"
"Alive and headful…I think?" Ponyboy said, questioning whether 'headful' was a word. "Wellup, let's go home!" Casey said, poking Cade's head,
"Stop Casey."
"Whhhhhhyyyy?" she dragged, poking Cade again.
"If you want to keep that hand, I SUGGEST you stop."
"OK."
The rest of the walk home was relatively uneventful, as far as the walks go, so Cade eventually returned to her house and dug around her coat for her key,
"holy poo on toast!" she muttered, looking for her key, she searched through her coat, her bag, everything…but she could not find the damn key.
"SON OF A…."
She saw Darry stick his head out the window and stare. It wasn't a normal stare neither…a really deep do-you-want-to-say-that stare.
"…BEESNAPPER!" (AN: Thought of that randomly. Sorry)
Darry nodded slightly before turning and talking to someone, motioning to Cade. She heard laughing and the door slam, She saw Ponyboy coming down the street,
"Need help?" he laughed,
"NO I'M PERRRRFECTLY FINE THANK YOU!" she shouted. Pony walked up to her, leaned against the door and stood there, and after about five more minutes of searching, she looked at him,
"Can I help you?"
Pony grinned, looking at her, and just being an annoyance, "Nah."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"This is fun to watch." He noted.
"Thank you Captain Obvious. You can leave, show's over."
"Do you want me to help you?" he said, trying to hold in whatever laughter he hadn't already done,
"And pray tell, what on rearth could YOU do?"
Pony held up a key and opened the door,
"You dropped it outside the school. Don't ya LOVE the irony of this?"
Cade looked and him and grabbed the key,
"You are so annoying."
"And glad to be a part of it." He said, grinning.
((OOC: I'm still back into the 'swing of things' as they say. So expect some more))
