Girl Advice

Darry's POV

"Hey, Darry, can I ask you something?" I look at my kid brother. He wants to ask me a question?

"What'd you do?" I immediately ask.

"Nothing, Dar, I promise," Ponyboy says. Okay, so if he's not in trouble it's gotta be money.

"How much will it cost?"

"Nothing. I have some money saved up." Wow.

"Um…okay. Shoot." What can he be wondering? I hope it's not the birds and bees; I'm not ready to give that talk.

"So there's this girl…" Crap. I think the time for "The Talk" is approaching…rather quickly.

"And?" Please say they're just friends…please.

"I kinda wanna…ya know, ask her out?" He says the last part as a question.

"Okay…."

"So…how do I do that?"

"Do what exactly?" I ask. Better safe than sorry. He looks at me, confused, until he understands and his ears burn bright red. Awe, he's still innocent.

"Ask. Her. Out. That's it. Only asking her out on a date," He clarifies. Again with the glowing ears.

"Awe, Ponyboy has his first crush!" I announce to the empty kitchen.

"Who says this is my first crush?" He retorts. Hmmm…well…that's true…

"So this isn't your first?" I ask. Of course, he'd talk to Soda about this kind of stuff. He's probably only talking to me since Soda's out of the house.

"Um...well, it might be?" Well that surprised me. He's talking to me about his first crush?

"Okay. So you're going to want to act cool and make sure it's something simple for the first date. Like the movies, for example. Just go up to her when she's alone, that way if she rejects you, which I'm sure won't happen," I quickly add when he has a look of panic written across his face, "then you won't be embarrassed with her friends right there."

"So just go up and ask her if she wants to go see a movie with me on Friday night?"

"Pretty much. Anything else?"

"Um…not really. Thanks."

"Hey, Pone?"

"Yeah?" He asks.

"How come you asked me and not Soda? I mean, I'm happy you chose me and everything, it's just you and Soda…" I trail off, not knowing what words come next.

"Are closer than you and me?" He finished. I nod.

"Darry, me and Soda are close and so are you and me. We just have different ways of showing it." He says. I grin.

"Hey, Pony?"

"Yeah?"

"It's time we had a little talk." He groans. I laugh.

"Believe me, I'm not looking forward to this either. So where do I start? Okay…"

And that's where this chapter ends because I'm planning on keeping it PG. So, yes? No? Review! Please send in suggestions for the Curtis Brothers. It really helps and if I use your idea that chapter will be dedicated to you.

Thanks!
