We were just about home when Johnny interrupted one of Two-Bits many stories.

"You wanta go to the movies later Pony?" I guess Darry would let me since it wasn't a school night.

"Yea, I just have to ask Dar."

"Gosh you guys what am I? Don't you two invite me anymore?" He put on a puppy dogface but it was nothing like Johnny's eyes. I don't know why but I kinda felt guilty that he thought he couldn't come, when he knew that he could. We had never told him that he couldn't come with us somewhere. I started to tell him that he could when I couldn't stop laughing.

"Two-Bit (giggling) since when (deep breath) have we (laughing) ever told you (giggling) that you couldn't come with us." Then me and Johnny broke out in laughter. I almost dropped my box of football stuff. Then Two-Bit grinned.

"I was just kidding. However, putting on that puppy dog face was worth it. You should have seen your faces." So, he made me and Johnny feel guilty so he could see our face. Well is should have known, Two-Bit never changes.

"So let me get this straight. You did all of that just to make fun of our reactions?" Before I could verify this Johnny asked for me. Two-Bit was grinning as he replied to Johnny's question.

"Well you two have to see my point of view. I mean first this morning Pony you take on Steve's challenge and Johnny you agree to it. Then we cream them and Pony is now on the high school football team. I mean you two have come out of your shells today. I mean… don't go back to be so quite. Don't get me wrong you guys have always been fun to hang out with but now it's even more fun."

Wow, that had to be the most serious conversation that has ever came out of Two-Bit's lips.

"Two-Bit have you gone serious." Johnny asked him still.

"Nice joke Johnny, next you will be asking me about my job." We all laughed, yep same old Two-Bit.

"From now on me and Johnnycakes here will try to be louder so you can have fun." Johnny nodded to this statement.

"So Two-Bit would you like to come with me and Pony to the movies?"

"Well since you begged me…I guess I could come along with you kids."

By now, we were at the house. Steve, Soda, and Dally were playing poker. Darry of course was reading the paper as usually. But he looked up when the door slammed behind Two-Bit.

"Hey Pone, what's in the box?" Soda asked dropping his cards on the table making Steve made that the game had been interrupted. However who cares, he doesn't like me so he is always mad at me about something. Soda came over and saw the jersey that Johnny had put back on top after he and Two-Bit had looked at it.

"The stuff that the coach gave me." Then he picked up the jersey.

"Is this your jersey?"

"No Soda it's mine." Two-Bit told him as he went to get a beer out of the kitchen.

"Yea it's mine Soda." I looked over as Darry got up and came over to us and took the jersey and held it up so Dally and Steve could see it.

"Wow that one tuff lookin' jersey and it even has our last name on the back."

"They all have the players' last name on the back, Soda"

"He gave you a new jersey?" Darry had also received a new jersey when he played but many of the other players used older ones. Not that most of them weren't in good shape it was just the way things worked.

"Yea and Darry, Johnny and Two-Bit are goin' to the movies tonight can I go?"

"Yea if you finished your homework and are home by midnight." I knew he was going to ask about my homework, he always wanted me to get good grades. I felt bad that he didn't get to go to college but instead he got two jobs to keep me in school. Even if Darry wouldn't bug me about my grades, I would to think that I would try hard anyways since to be on the track team you have to have good grades. Anyway, I finished my homework early today.

"I did my homework early today."

"I still don't get why teachers give homework on the weekend?" Steve spoke for the first time since I came home.

"Most likely so they don't have to seat in to a class room listening people whine about it." Dally told him who had also been quiet.

"Hey, do any of you guys want to join us?" Two-Bit asked directing the question to the rest of the gang.

"Well me and Soda are picking up Eve and Sandy." Steve didn't have to look at me like that I never ask Soda if I can come when they are taking girls. Anyway, I had plans of my own.

"I think that I'm goin hang out here or something to enjoy my day off." Darry of course I knew he wouldn't want to come, he didn't like movies like the way I do.

"I was goin' head over to Buck's but I might met ya'll over there later."

"We boys it looks like it's just us. Pony, Johnny it's startin' to get dark you want go."

"Yea let me put this in the back room and then we can go." I got out the waiver, that until now I had forgotten about.

"Darry here's one of those wavier things that I need you to sign before I can play." I handed the paper to Darry and of course, he started to read it.

"Alright all read it and sign it and put it on the desk in your room. Grab a jacket it's supposed to get cold later." I picked up the box of stuff and headed to mine and Soda's room. I picked up an old jean jacket that Darry and Soda outgrew over the years and became mine. The jacket had been through a lot during the years playing football, fixing cars, and a few fights all in that jacket. I put it on and went back to the living room, where Johnny put on the only jacket he owned. It was a jean jacket as well.

"What are you two deciding to start a gang of your own? The Jean Jacket Boys." Two-Bit who was hardly able get it out was now laughing his head off, along with Steve and Soda. Darry was ginning. Dally got up and walked to the door.

"See you guys later." With that, he left and after giving Two-Bit a couple of minutes to calm down, we left. Soda and Steve had to pick up their girls in thirty minutes so there were picking up the cards.

We were a couple of blocks listening to Two-Bit telling us about the Mickey Mouse show he saw today. Two-Bit and Mickey Mouse seemed like they belonged together but sometimes I think that he and Goofy would fit together. When we noticed a red, Mustang trailing us and then if sped up and four socs got out.

Please review. The reviews that I have gotten so far help. Thanks to you who have review. Let me know if there is anything that you want to see and I can try to add it in. But no promises. If you have any ideas for people of the football team just let me know. Pony will mostlikey meet the team in two chapters but he might get a glimpse in the next, who knows?
