Takes place before Mr. and Mrs. Curtis die.

Ponyboy wants to do something for his parents anniversary.

This is an old story I wrote several years ago.

It was five in the morning when Ponyboy woke up. He was getting ready to make breakfast for his parents, to help celebrate their anniversary before they go. Mr. Curtis and Mrs. Curtis plan on spending the whole day together, after spending breakfast with the kids. Pony, now up and ready for the day ahead was now trying to wake Soda up. "Soda, Soda come on wake up we gotta make the anniversary breakfast we talked about last night." Pony said as he was trying to shake his brother awake. Soda only responded by rolling over on his stomach saying sleepily "Pony it's to early go back to sleep."

After a few other failed attempts to get Soda up Pony sighed and said "Fine, I'll get Darry up and we'll get started." As Pony got up and walked out Soda became wide awake, now terrified what Pony was about to do. Darry was no early bird, that's for sure, waking him up was pretty much a death wish. Getting out of bed now, and slipping on a pair of sweats, Soda sprinted to Darry's room to stop Pony, but it was too late. Pony was already trying to shake Darry awake.

Darry grumbled for Pony to go away after a few attempts, but Pony didn't give up. He walked to the door, turned and ran towards Darry and jumped on him before Soda could stop him. When Pony landed on Darry he began tickling him like crazy. Darry was fully awake and irritated beyond recognition. Darry chased Pony into the kitchen-wearing his sweats-, with Soda tailing right behind him.

"Okay now that we're all here let's get started on the decorations now, then cook breakfast, mom and dad might sleep in since dad was able to get the day off, but we gotta make every second count." Pony said as he was getting everything out to make breakfast. Soda sighed in defeat while Darry growled "Me and Soda will get the decorations you get the table cleaned off and dust what you can." Pony nodded then Darry and Soda went to get what they needed. "Man I didn't think Ponyboy was serious when he said we should get up early to make them anniversary breakfast. The suns barely even up." Sodapop whined still tired "Yeah well, you know Pony, when he makes a promise he goes all the way to the end to keep it." Darry yawned. After they got the decorations out of the garage they went back inside to the kitchen, where Pony had just finished setting the table, he did a damn good job, made it look like a table at a restaurant.

Pony and Soda were putting streamers on both sides of each window in the dining room, while Darry was hanging a "Happy Anniversary" banner (A shiny one at that) in the dining room entryway. When they were done decorating they went to cooking. Ponyboy was no gourmet but he could scramble an egg, toast a toast, and know how to use a waffle iron at least. Pony was using his cooking skills Soda was mixing and flipping pancakes and Darry was mixing and baking a cake.

"Hey let's cook bacon and sausage too."

"Dang, Pony, what are we making a feast?"

"Aw, come on, Darry, let's do it. Check in the third shelf in the fridge door Pone."

"Okey Dokey, Soda."

When they were all done cooking breakfast, setting all the food on the table, with each different food on their own plate, Soda took paper arrows that directed from their parents room to the kitchen. Darry turned the lights off and all three Curtis brothers got behind the table. When the Curtis parents woke up and saw paper arrows leading out of their room, they followed them to the kitchen and then...

"Surprise! Happy Anniversary!" cheered the boys as Darry turned the lights on and they raised their arms in the air smiling. "Oh, sweethearts, you did all this for us?" did this for us?" Mrs. Curtis said as she and her husband smiled, even more when the boys hugged them. Mr. Curtis laughed "Okay let's get to our feast before it gets cold." Everyone laughed as they went to eat breakfast, then Mrs. Curtis asked "Pony, sweetie, why are you the only one in normal clothes?" Ponyboy just smiled as his brothers mock glared at him. "You know what they say mom. Early bird gets the worm."
