Alexis came over to me and took off my helmet.

"You're a great." She looked into my eyes.

"So were you." she then leaned in and we kissed in the end zone. I felt a hand on my shoulder great it was probably one of the gang. I pulled back wow she was a great kisser. I turned to see whose hand was on my shoulder and it wasn't one of the gang it was Rick with Cara and Mady near him.

"Well I guess you make the winning touchdown and you get a girl I guess I will have to try that some time." Rick told me and patted my back, as the coach came over to us. The gang stayed back talking to each other.

"Great job Pony I told you that you could do it."

"Yea." Then I turned back to Alexis.

"So are we going to the movies tomorrow?" she asked me.

"Of course I told you I would go with you. Why wouldn't I?"

"Well you won the game and made all the touchdowns and you were great at defense. That last touchdown was awesome the way you intersected it and made it all the way to the end zone. I thought you would want to go out someone better than me." she looked really sad.

"Listen Alexis I don't think I would go out with someone else even if you paid me to." she smiled at this. I can't believe I just met her today. It felt like I had known her forever.

"Ponyboy you are best, nicest person I ever met." She most not know a lot of people. But before I could tell her she started talking. "I know a lot of people." Wow it was like she could read my mind sometime.

"Thanks Alexis I think you're nice too." We both grinned. She looked around and then back at me.

"My parents are here so I have to go. Why don't you come over to my house at one to meet my parents? Do you know where I live?"

"Yea. I don't know though what if they don't like me." She laughed and it sounded really pretty like bells.

"Wow a tough greaser like you worried to meet my parents. Who would have known?"

"I don't want to mess things up because I really want to take you to the movies. How tough to you think I am anyways?" I asked her. I never thought of myself as tough by any greaser girl, yet she wasn't like any greaser girl I ever met.

"I think you're pretty tough and cool. But I really have to go."

"Okay I'll see you at your house at one." Then we kissed for a while and everyone around us was still celebrating.

"I have a question for you."

"Yea Alexis?"

"When do I get to meet your brothers and friends?"

"How about after I meet your parents? I could take you to see Soda if he is working and Darry is off and I don't know about the rest of the gang."

"Okay. See you tomorrow at one."

"Bye Alexis."

"Bye Ponyboy." Then she waved and left to go find her parents. I didn't want to keep the gang waiting so I said bye to the coach and left to go find the gang. Everyone else was starting to leave. Where is Rick at he had my bag in his car? Then I saw him over by the fence leaning aginst it.

"Hey Rookie." He looked up.

"Hey Rick."

"You want your bag out of my car?" Had he been waiting for me? We got up and walked to his car.

"Yea have you been waiting on me?"

"Yea."

"Sorry you should have told me and would have got it." He smiled and opened his car and handed me my bag.

"I could have but you just won the game for us and you were talking and kissing Alexis and I didn't want to interrupt." Great he was acting just like I thought the gang would.

"I didn't win the game."

"Yea you kinda did you made all three touchdowns and the two field goals. Also you tried your hardest to keep the other team form scoring and they only did because you're only one person and you couldn't be everywhere. If you hadn't played then we would have been creamed. Thanks."

"For what?" He was the one who gave me rides and told me about stuff that I had missed when the season first started and he didn't treat me like dirt like most people.

"For letting me feel what it's like to win a high school football game."

"Well you know what you better get used to it because we are going to win again." I told him with confidence we would win another game.

"Thanks Rookie."

"See you later Rick." I took my bag as he got in his car and made my way over to Darry's truck where the gang was.

"Hey ya'll sorry to keep ya'll waiting."

"No problem Pony we were having fun." Soda told me and then I knew it would start.

"Wow how…I mean…what...?"

"Gosh Pony I don't think I ever saw Two-Bit speechless." Dally said, I hadn't seen him either for the fact he always had something to say.

"So Pony how does it fell to be the hot shot football player?" Darry asked.

"I am no hot shot. I just played football."

"Well for one thing you won the game and second I don't I ever seen anyone play like that you should have seen yourself it was really cool to watch." Now Darry was complementing me.

"Thanks"

"You were really great Pony."

"Thanks Johnny."

"So.." Two-Bit started. "It seemed like you and that girl were doing more than just talkin'."

"So Ponyboy where did you met here." Steve asked.

"Hold up why don't we go to the Dingo and get something to eat to celebrate and then we can ambush Pony. My treat."

"Okay" we all chorused. Then me, Johnny and Dally hopped in the bed of the truck while Darry drove and Two-Bit rode shotgun and Steve and Soda in the back seat. I love riding in the bed of the truck and so does Dally and Johnny. We stayed quite most of the way, well I should say that me, Johnny and Dally did because the rest of the gang was talking about who knows what we couldn't hear them. But Dally broke our silence.

"Hey Pony"

"Yea Dally."

"I know you only think that I like and am proud of Johnny." Johnny smiled at that it is all he ever wants is for Dally to be proud of him. Johnny is the only thing Dally loves. "But I am really proud to call you my buddy and I'm proud of you too."

"Thanks Dal." Wow did Dallas Winston just say he was proud of me?

"But you two tell anyone I said that I will get you both, understand?" He still acted like the same old Dal.

"Yea of course." Johnny told him. Dally looked at me.

"Yea I won't tell and if I did they won't believe me anyways." We all laughed as we pulled into the Dingo. We hopped out of the back and the gang got out. Then we walked into the Dingo and we went to a booth. So we could all fit. Normal three people can fit on one side of a booth but since me and Johnny are small four of us can sit on one side. Two-Bit, Steve and Soda sat on one side with Steve in the middle and Soda on the inside. I sat on the inside on our side with Johnny beside me and Darry by him and Dally on the outside like Two-Bit. A brown-headed waitress came over to our table, I guess that she wasn't good enough for the gang to hit on her. Two-Bit usually went for blonds. Walking over to us she kept her head down.

"I'm Kelly and I'll be your waitress. So can I take your drink orders?" She looked up for the first time and a smile came across her face. "Oh my your.." I knew the next word she would say was 'Soda' since he was the best looking greaser in town. "Ponyboy." Wait did she just say my name. The gang was looking at me and grinning.

"Ponyboy I heard about the game tonight. Congratulations. So what can I get you to drink?"

"I'll have a Pepsi." I told her. I thought she would go to the guys next but she just left.

"Wait you didn't.. Oh never mind." Steve tried to stop her but gave up.

"Gosh Pony now I guess we have to worry about you and girls to." Soda told me. Well he wouldn't have to worry about me because I like Alexis.

"Now Darry has to worry about both of you." Dally informed us.

"Great just what I need." Just then Kelly came back with our or my drink.

"Sorry I forgot what would you guys like to drink?" She never took her eyes off of me so I looked down.

"Pepsi" Soda said and the rest of the gang nodded.

"So six more Pepsis."

"Yup." Then she left. We were looking at our menus.

"Do ya'll know what ya'll want." We all nodded. I wanted a burger and fries.

"Well speaking of girls" Two-Bit started. I thought we were talking food and drinks. Oh well.

"Who was talking about girls?" Soda asked.

"Well you just were. So Pony whose the chick?" Great leave it to him. I didn't say anything as Kelly brought their drinks.

"Do you guys know what you want to eat? Pony?"

"I think I'll have a burger and fries."

"Okay the rest of you"

They told her there orders. Man is this what Soda fells like, no he sorta likes it. I thought it was wrong way did she treat me differently just because I was playing football.

"So Pony who is she?" this time Steve brought it up and they all looked at me.

"Tell now or else." Why in the world was Dally so interested just because this is the first girl I liked and was taking on a date, which they didn't know about, yet. I was the only one in the gang that hadn't had a girl friend or a date, even Johnny had been on a couple of dates. That just didn't appeal to me until I met Alexis.

"A girl." Darry laughed which was rare but it was becoming more and more since football.

"Really I never would have guess."

"Well Darry what do you want to know?" I was getting tired of their games and I was also just tired in general. Kelly came with our food. Hopeful that will shut them up.

"What's her name?" Johnny asked great I never thought he would bring it up. They all looked at me.

"Alexis" I whispered as I took a bite of my burger.

"What grade is she in?" Darry asked.

"Freshman."

"Gosh you know you can say more than one word right kid." I nodded and ate some of my fries.

"Where did you meet her?" Soda asked and without think of Dally comment I answered.

"Game"

"Are you going on a date?" Steve asked.

"Yea" I was almost done with my burger and fries and so was everyone else.

"Where?" Darry asked.

"Movies" Would they ever stop.

"When?"

"Tomorrow."

"Ya'll ready?"

"Yup Darry it doesn't seem like well get much out of the kid so we will have to get it out of him one way or another." Two-Bit glared at me one he said it. Darry paid and we left sitting where we sat last time.

"So kid you got a date?"

"Yea Dal I do."

"Come on Pony tell us about her. You asked me and I told you everything." Johnny was right.

"Tell me what you want to know."

"What are ya'll doing tomorrow?" Dally asked.

"She want me to meet her parents. She asked when she would get to met you guys and I told her we would have to see and that she most likely could met Darry and Soda. Then she was going to go home and I was going to take her to the movies later."

"So she want to me us."

"Yea Dal she does. Any thing else?"

"Where did you met her?"

"Well Johnny she's in the same graduating class as me. But during lunch I finished my paper in the library and Rick came in there and asked me if I wanted to play one-on-one football. We played and two cheerleaders came over Cara and Mady. Then after school, we were watching the JV game and they came up to us and Alexis was with them and they sat with us. Me and Alexis talked and stuff." By then we were home and man I was tired.

"Pony you look tired." Darry told me what I thought.

"Yea I'm going to sleep." I started to go down the hall.

"Hey Pony."

"Yea Dal."

"Bring her by and I'll meet her since she want to met us." The whole gang looked at me.

"Okay, yes she wants to meet you guys and if you don't want to meet her that is fine but I am tired and I am going to sleep. So good night."

I went to the bedroom and changed clothes and laid down on the bed and as soon as I did I fell to sleep. I didn't even hear or fell Soda when he came to bed.

Sorry once again it is not as long but it is midnight and I am tired. So, I will try to start writing earlier. Please review. I was trying to figure out if I should leave the story in Pony's Point of view or do some of the gang, Rick and Alexis, I posted it as a poll on my Profile. So please vote to let me know.
