The Gang + Me

Ponytails and Underwear

"Wake up love kins." I open my eyes, and look up at Two-Bit's annoying face. "Darry told me to wake y'all up, Breakfast time," he says. "What," Pony asks, sleepily. "We slept that long?" "Yep, cuddling too," Steve says, walking into the room and winking. I see Pony blush, and I wink back at Steve. Soda comes into the living room, followed by Darry. "Time to eat," Soda says, ruffling Pony's hair. "I can't get up," I groan to him. "I got you," Two-Bit says, before picking me up off the couch and gently throwing me over his shoulder. I'm surprised he's strong enough to pick me up. "Two-Bit put me down, I only have in underwear underneath this," I say, banging my fists against his back. "It's nothing we haven't already seen before," he says, carrying me to the kitchen. "Two-Bit," I yell, trying to pull my shirt down over my butt. He is so inappropriate. "You forget that I have a little sister," he says, putting me in a chair. "Who doesn't live here," I mutter under my breath. "And so does Steve. And Soda and Darry are your brothers now so we've all seen stuff like that before. We just have to watch out for Ponyboy over there," he says, before winking at me. I smile up at him, and punch him in the stomach. He groans, and sits down in the chair next to me. I know he and Steve don't care, but its embarrassing if Soda and Darry see me in my underwear. It's just different with them. I guess since they've never had a girl in the house. Soda come in and gives me my plate. "Where's Pony?" I ask him, taking a bite of my eggs. "Having a talk with Darry," he says, heading for his room. "Soda wait," I say quickly. He turns around and smiles at me. "Can you brush my hair?" I ask him. He nods, then takes the comb out of his back pocket and starts brushing through my hair lightly. Then I hear Steve come in. "I can do ponytails," he says, from behind me. "I doubt it," I tell him, before taking a sip of orange juice Two-Bit made for me. Soda agrees. "Well I'm going to show both of y'all," he says before picking up my hair and combing throw the top of my hair with the comb. "Watch and learn from the master," Steve says. I couldn't help but smile.

Once he finishes demonstrating and putting my hair up, I walk into my room and look in the mirror. It actually looks pretty good. Darry and Pony were sitting on the bed looking at the newspaper. "Look Steve did my hair," I told them. "That's really good for Steve," Pony says, smiling at me. "I wouldn't of let him touch my hair. Your brave," Darry says. We all laugh.
