Disclaimer: I don't own the Outsiders


The days have been going by quicker than I could ever imagine. Things had been going great. I had been come the school's football star much like Darry had been. Many people compared me to him but they ended up saying that I was better. I guess that it could be true I ended up making all of the touchdowns in games. I did my schoolwork and studied hard so I could stay on the team. This meant that I was making straight A's because of all the hard work I do. Ever since I was sick two weeks ago, Angela and me have been seeing each other. We hadn't told anyone but the first time we kissed Dally, Johnny, and Two-Bit saw. They asked me about fifty thousand questions when I got home. I made them promise not to tell anyone and they have kept that so far. They were the only ones who knew because I haven't told Darry or Soda. I didn't know what they would say because of what happened with Alexis. We had yet to tell Tim and Curly because they are protective over who Angela sees but I wanted to tell both of our brothers but we were afraid of what they would say. Today was our two-week mark of us going out and there was a week until it would homecoming week. I hated not telling my brothers so I was going to have to tell Angela that we would have to tell them that we were going together. I was sitting at the park waiting for Angela to come. We would always meet here.

"Hey Pony." She kissed me.

"Hey Angela. How are you?"

"I'm good Pony. How about you?"

"Good I think we should tell our brothers."

"Yea I know." She stood up.

"Where are you going?" she smiled at me.

"I thought we were going to go tell those lovely big brothers of ours." I got up and faced her.

"Well who should we tell first?"

"How 'bout we tell your brothers first. Let's start with Soda." Yea l guess my brothers would take it better than hers.

"Okay he's at the DX." We took off toward the DX walking hand in hand. We arrived there to find Soda and Steve inside talking to the gang minus Darry.

"Hey Soda." He looked up from his soda.

"Hey Pone, Angela. What are you guys doing?" He took out two Pepsis and handed them to us.

"Well I wanted to tell you something." He looked at me and so did Steve. The rest of the guys already knew but kept quite.

"Okay you know you can tell me anything."

"Well I am…sorta you know…"

"Out with it Pony." So had come over and started to shake me by my shoulders.

"I have been dating Angela for two weeks." He smiled bigger than I thought he would and then spoke again.

"About time. So Angela how many times have you been in our closet?"

"Well Soda let's just say more than you know." He looked at her surprised then laughed with us when he realized it was a joke.

"So Angela do your brothers know?" Steve asked.

"No we were going to tell them today along with Darry today." She answered us.

"So you guys final let the cat out of the bag."

"Two-Bit you knew."

"Yea so did Dally and Johnny."

"Pony we better go tell Darry that way we can find my brothers and tell them too."

"Okay Angela lets go. See you guys later."

"Bye Pony. Bye Angela. Good luck."

"Thanks Soda I'll be lucky if Tim and Curly don't kill me." They all laughed as we walked toward Darry's job site. Tim and Curly would most likely kill me so I might as tell my brother where I am going.

"You really think that they won't like me going out with you, don't you?"

"We'll tell me of one person who your brothers have liked that you have went out with."

"They were all really hard hood who didn't care about me and my brothers like you." She looked me in the eyes when she said all of this.

"I guess we will just have to see." We arrived to several guys standing around eating lunch and talking.

"Hey Pony there's Darry."

"Where?" I looked around but couldn't find him.

"Over there?" She pointed to a group of four guys who were eating sandwiches and talking sure enough Darry was one of them. We walked over to them.

"Hey Pony what are you doing here?" Darry asked and the other guys turned to face us

"Hey Darry, well if you're not too busy I was wondering if I could tell you something."

"Yea, come on let's walk over here. Hello Angela, how are you?"

"I'm good. Pony I think I'm going to head over to my house. If you want you can come by later."

"Okay." I knew that she wanted to try to warm up to her brothers but that left me to tell Darry alone.

"Come by around five." She whispered as she left and I nodded. We walked over to a tree and we sat down under it.

"Well Darry I wanted to tell you something."

"Can I guess?" I wonder if he knew.

"I guess you can."

"Well my guess is that you have been seeing Angela. So am I right?" How in the world did he know?

"Yea. How did you know?"

"You are more like Soda than you know. He did the same thing after he and his first girlfriend broke up. But he was younger than you though and I'm glad you waited."

"So I guess that you guys are going to tell her brothers."

"Yea. We just told Soda."

"What did Soda say?"

"He said it was about time we went out."

"That sounds like Soda."

"Well I have to get back to work. What time will you be home?"

"We are going to tell Tim and Curly at five. So I hope to be home after that." Man they are going to kill me and then bring me back to life to murder me again.

"I don't think they'll kill you if that's what you are worrying about."

"How do you know?"

"The Shepherds like you and your about the best little greasy hood there sister could be with." He was rubbing my head."

"Thanks but I have to go our I will be late."

"Okay good luck be home by six thirty or I will be sending Soda to claim the body."

"You're very funny Darry."

"That's what I'm for." I took off to the Angela's house while Darry went back to work.


Thanks for all of the review. I can't believe this is Chapter 35. I wanted to know what you guys think about doing a homecoming week activities. Like at my high school each day we dress up as different things that go along with the theme of the dance and we have a Powder Puff game on that Thursday. For anyone how doesn't know what Powder Puff is it is when the girls play football and the guys where girls uniforms and cheer. My school does seniors vs. juniors but it though I might upper vs. lower class men. Do you think Pony should do it or just go to the dance. Review and let me know about Powder Puff and what you think Tim and Curly should say.
