Danielle POV
Pony would not talk to me or Darry. He was not happy he was being punished. He notice he just stay in the house and looked bored. I told him he could help cook or clean and he usually look at like I was nuts. I told him he was allowed to draw but that was it. He was allowed to work on his homework and I would check it. He was not happy. I was making breakfast for the gang, and working on writing a letter to a friend in New York. Then all of sudden Tim walk into the house, saying he wanted to have a rumble with someone. He can tell he had not changed. He walk into the kitchen and seen be. I told him "Hello Jackass" and he smiled back and said "Hello Bitch". Nothing had changed. He was use to people taking off and coming back. I think he knew I was back in town for a while.
Tim POV
I was shocked to see Danielle Winston back in town. I figure after Dally she would have come back soon but I guess she had to deal with everything in her own way. She was still as tuff as I remember. She was sitting at the Curtis's table, and I wonder if she was back with Darry already. They had off and on again relationships. I ask her where Darry was and she responded by saying "He was at work again". She understood why he worked, but I don't think she like it to well. Well tell him I stopped by to see if they wanted to be in a rumble this Friday night. I told him they prob. would help out. I told him I would as well, and he would except nothing less. Just then Pony walk into the kitchen and said "Hello" but he did not look happy and ask he what was up. He said he was grounded and was not allow to read. I laughed only greaser in the world that was mad because he could not read. I ask what he did and
He said "He was drinking at the rodeo."
I smiled at him and told him Darry was being a hardass.
Then he said "he did not ground me, Danielle did."
I smiled and laugh Danielle is someone you did not want to mess with. She sometimes scared me, but I was not going to admitted that. Then I ask if he wanted to help in the rumble. Danielle step in and said he could. He looked really happy, and I was glad he was able to fight well as he got older. He was also a lady killer as well, and he was as bad as the rest of us. I see him with my little sister, and I figure I was going to talk to Darry about it. Then Danielle was there and was helping being the parent. So I thought maybe I would talk to her about Pony.
Danielle POV
I knew Tim wanted to talk about something. I can tell by the look in his eyes. I ask him what he wanted to talk about and he said Pony. I knew this good not be good. He said Pony was begin to act like a greaser when it came to girls, and I told him I know. We caught him with two different girls when went up to the rodeo. I told him Darry and I talk to him, but I don't think he is going to stop being with girls. Tim just said to keep him away from Angel, and I told him to stay away. I told Tim "I don't think he was going down the route again". Tim seemed happy about that, and I knew he would be. He ask me if I was going to fight or if I was going to a nurse for the rumble. I told him depends on what I am needed to do. I could fight against any guy, and Tim knew this. I and he had a couple of fights before. Then we talk about the details of the rumble and told him I would tell the guys tonight and more than likely we could help them out. They we going aginst the RK. I had a few fights with them before. Then Tim left saying he had stuff he need to get done, and I told him bye.
Later that night
Danielle POV
Darry had walk in and I had dinner ready. The rest of the gang was already here. I told them after dinner I had something to tell them and told Pony not to tell early after Tim left. I told him to also stay away from Angel, and he said he would. He said he was after a new girl when he was ungrounded. I figure he would find one at the rumble. I lifted his punishment for that Friday and Saturday. I would tell Darry about that later. We all sat down for dinner, when I notice a couple of Bruise on Steve. I ask him "What Happened" and said he got into a fight with his old man and he was probably staying over here tonight. I told him that was a good idea. Then I notice the long sleeve sheet. I am assuming he has a cut there, and I need to talk him after as well.
We all finished dinner and went into the living room. Darry was in his chair, Two-bit, Soda, Steve were on the couch. Then Pony was on the fall leaning against the couch. I was standing in the middle of the living room getting ready to talk. I told them about the rumble with Tim and they said they would be glad to help. I was happy and Darry was glad to see me happy. He knew I was always going to be good friend with Tim. Later that night I knew Darry was going to have me try to tell the gang who I was. I had been putting off for a while now. I decided I need to tell them before the rumble. I told the gang there was something they did not know about me and I said that my last was Winston. Yes I am Dally Winston old sister. The gang looked to be in shock.
