The Outsiders Fanfic: Where Does the Time Go?

Chapter 38: Welcome to the family

Spencer's POV-

I wake up to Soda's naked butt in front of me.

"Soda!" I scream, pulling the blankets over my eyes.

"Spencer! I didn't know ya were awake.." he says laughing.

"Well, I am!" I say, still covering my eyes.

"I can see that!" he says. I uncover my eyes only to find Soda still hasn't put clothes on.

"Put on some pants, goddamn!" I say.

"Woah language there little girl, gimme a sec I gotta find some pants," he walks out into the hallways, still naked, and yells, "Pony! Have you seen my pants?! The grey ones?!"

"Check the bottom drawer!" Pony yells back.

"You check the bottom drawer!" Soda yells back. I hear Pony's feet walking towards the bedroom, as I'm still cowering under the blankets from Soda and his nakedness.

"Geez Soda! Warn me next time!" Pony shouts as he sees Soda, "what if Spencer was awake!"

"She is!" I yell from under the covers. I can hear Pony slap his head.

"Is it your goal to have all the girls in Tulsa see ya naked?" Pony asks, teasing.

"Oh hell yeah," Soda says.

"And yet we all know that he only really cares about one of them..." I mutter from under the covers. Soda throws something at me, a book I think.

"Did you just throw a book at me?!" I shout.

"Maybe!" Soda says, "why don't you pop on up and look!"

"Why don't you put some pants on and I will!" I say.

Soda laughs, "Okay! Here, I'm decent!"

I peek out just to make sure he's not lying to me, before pulling the covers off my head.

"Geez Soda," I say. He and Pony just laugh at me.

"Welcome to the family," Pony says.

I smirk, "just because I'm in the family doesn't mean I need to see a naked Soda butt first thing in the morning."

"Huh I thought that's exactly what that meant," Soda says playfully.

I roll my eyes and get out of bed, and walk groggily over to the drawer where I keep my clothes. I throw on a black crop top and some jean shorts and walk into the kitchen.

"What time is it?" I ask, noticing no Darry in the kitchen.

"Noon, you slept pretty late," Pony says.

"Must've been that late night last night!" Soda says, winking.

"He's kidding," I say, rolling my eyes. "Wait, where's Emma?"

"Bathroom, I think," Pony says, "we're gonna go for a walk."

"Oh, can I come?" I ask, "I feel like I haven't been out of this house in forever."

"Sure!" Pony says. Emma comes out of the bathroom, her long blonde hair laying messily on her shoulders. She wears a dull red crop top and flowing jeans.

"Hey Spencer," she comes over and hugs me.

"Hey Emma, how are ya? How'd ya sleep?" I ask, returning the hug.

"Real good, I just wanted ta thank you for lettin' me stay here," she says.

"Aw you're welcome, you can stay any time you'd like," I say, "if that's alright with The Curtis' o'course," I say, looking at Pony.
