"Hey Soda, when did you start shaving?" Pony asked from the bathroom
"When I was fifteen"
I walked into the bathroom to see what Pony was doing.
"When did Darry?" He asked rubbing his face, looking at his reflection in the mirror
"When he was thirteen"
"Why? You figuring on growing a beard for the rumble?" I joked to him
"Oh you're funny" He said walking out of the bathroom "I heard they pay money for funny things"
I went and sat down at the table with Soda and Steve who started to arm wrestle. I put my chin in my hands and watched them.
"You like fights huh Soda?" I asked
"Yeah I like fights"
"How come?" Pony asked
"It's like a contest, a drag race, a dance or something like that. We're going to beat them soc's heads in anyway."
"When I get in a fight, I want to stomp em too" said Steve who beat Soda in arm wrestling
Pony walked over to Darry who was putting his shirt back on after his mini workout.
"Why do you like fights Darry?" He asked
"He likes to show off his muscles" Soda said, laughing at his own joke.
"I'm going to show em off on you little buddy if you get any mouthier" Darry started fixing his shirt "Hey Pony, I don't know if you ought to be in this rumble"
"How come? I always come through before, ain't I?"
"Yeah but you was in shape before, and you ain't looking so good. You're tensed up all the time"
"Oh come on Darry, let him fight. Everyone's tensed up before a rumble." I said
"Skin against skin. He ain't gonna get hurt now is he?" Soda added
"I'll grab hold of the little one" Pony said
"We will need every man we can get but...I don't know"
"If it was knives or chains it would be different, I'll be okay"
"All right, but you be careful okay?"
