The Outsiders - Imagines

A new language ~ Ponyboy Curtis x Reader

I was sitting at the table of the Curtis' house, hovering over my notebook, trying to continue my current short story. I've always oved writing stories, but currently, it was more for school, than for myself, or anybody else. It still filled me with joy, though, so yeah.

It's been a bit since I've got here. Pony's had a track meeting, Soda, Steve and Darry are still working, Johnny is probably scavenging around somewhere, and Two-Bit and Dally are god knows where. So, I was basically alone, besides Two-Bit's sister, but she fell asleep an hour after she got here. Two dropped her off, since she wanted to hang out with me, so that's that.

After another half an hour without more story ideas and continuity, I sighed, dropping my head on my notebook, my arms hanging down to the side. It's one of those days, where you have so much motivation and ideas, but as soon as you start: Poof, everything's gone. Luckily enough, Pony just walked in, coming home from his track meeting. I must have dozed off, 'cause I don't remember the door being opened.

,,Hey, Y/N, wake up, it's not night time yet...''

I was shaken softly over and over, before I opened my eyes, sitting back on the chair. Rubbing my eyes, I was looking to my left, Ponyboy smiling at me.

,,Good afternoon, milady, it's only 3 PM, what made you such tired?''

,,Homework and no ideas...''

,,Aww, poor you!''

After drinking a glass of water and being back in the state of fully awake, I've asked Pony, if he got similar homework like mine.

,,What's yours about, Y/N?''

,,Write a short story about anything fictive or real, but replace some words with new ones.''

,,So basically, a new language?''

,,I guess so...Oh, that reminds me: I've got an idea!''

I then continued to tell Ponyboy about a language I've invented, when I started to write more fantasy short stories.

,,What's it called?''

,,Polydot!''

,,Polydot...Sounds cool! Are you able to, you know...Speak it?''

,,Not fluently, but some words. I can teach you some!''

,,That'd be cool!''

For the next few weeks, me and Ponyboy worked on that language, broadening it, and at some point, we'd talk in it. Not fluently, just a few words, but the puzzled looks by everyone were everything:)

----------------------------------------------

So, what language is Polydot, you ask? It's a language I've invented years ago, when I got more interested in making up fantasy stories. I am still in the process of figuring it out fully, aka, translating all the words and whatnot. So yeah, now you know:)
