I woke up alone. I guess Pony woke up earlier and left. I got up and noticed Pony wasn't gone. He was asleep on the floor under the futon. I guess he fell out of bed and rolled under. He was snoring too. I decided to leave him. He looked peaceful asleep and younger too. I did a quick change into some shorts and a Minnie Mouse tank top. And headed downstairs.

"Mornin' Dare-Bear," I said walking into the kitchen while Darry was making breakfast. Dare-Bear was a nickname I gave him 'cause he was a big ole teddy bear on the inside, only I called him it though. Usually when I wanted something.

"What do you want? Or how much are you gonna need to get it?" Darry asked immediately. I fake gasped in shock.

"Darrel Curtis, now what makes you think I want something?" I asked mockingly.

"I know you Jazzy. Now what do ya need?"

"Seven dollars. Me and Pony and gonna spend our last day as children today before we turn 15 tomorrow," I said excitedly.

"Fine," he reached in his pocket and gave me ten dollars. "What're y'all gonna do?"

"I don't know just yet but I should get Pony off the floor if we are gonna do anything."

"Why was I stuffed under a futon in my sleep?" Pony chimed in.

"Because you move and you fell out of bed. Now go get dressed we have a day that is waiting to be planned." I shouted. He ran back up the stairs. "Darry what should we do. I'm clueless."

"Well I know you're clueless but that is a different story," Darry chuckled. "Maybe do some kid things. Ride the rides outside the super market. Ride in the carts at the super market. Go to the park."

 "Wow, Darry. You would think you're the little kid," I laughed.

Pony came back downstairs fully clothed in a sweatshirt and jeans. His hair perfectly greased back with barely any grease. He was hot, if I do say so myself.

"Okay, so what are we doing for our last day as children, o wise and powerful Jazz," Pony said mock bowing at the end.

"How about we go to the super market," I said winking at Darry.

"Okay, but I'm eating breakfast first," Pony said.

Just then Two-Bit, Johnny, and Steve busted through the door. Two-Bit and Steve were fighting about something. The Two had him in a headlock in a split second.

"What're y'all fightin' bout now?" I yelled to them. I walked out of the kitchen into the living room. Steve was trying to pull Two-Bit's arm off but he was too strong.

"He said Mickey was just a cartoon that only three year olds watch," Two-Bit aid while tightening his grip.

"It is a show for three years, that's why you watch it." I said plainly. "Now let him go he only has a few good brain cells left." Two-Bit let go and Steve started gasping for air. The Two-Bit had my arms behind my back. "What the hell, Two. What did I do?" I asked franticly. I knew this would end bad for me.

"Take it back," Two-Bit said. "Steve get her." Just then Steve started tickling me. I laughed uncontrollably. "Take it back and I will tell Stevie here to stop."

"Ne-ver," I choked out between laughs. "Pony!" Pony came running into the living room.

"What did she do this time Two-Bit," Pony asked. This wasn't the first time this had happened.

"She agreed with Steve that Mickey is for three year olds." Pony whispered something to Two and he let me go. But handed me to Pony. I stumbled into his arms.

"Geez Two. You tried to kill me," I gasped. Pony through me over his shoulder and carried me to the couch. I sat down on his lap. "So when do you wanna get going?" I whispered in him ear. I could tell it surprised him because he shivered at my breath.

"After this," he said as he lifted my chin. He kissed me and I kissed him back. Our lips moved in sync. I smiled into the kiss. It took awhile before we had to pull apart for air. I looked up and saw all eyes on us. I buried my face in Pony's chest.

"Pony you're lucky Dally is in the cooler. He would have beat your head in," Soda said.

"Dally may not be here but I will beat your head in if you two go any further than what just happened," Darry spoke up.

"You can't control us forever," I mumbled into Pony.

"What was that little missy?" Darry asked.

"Nothin."

"That's what I thought."

"Let's go Pony. They can't control us when their not around."

"Sure," Pony said. "Bye guys."

I heard shouts of 'Bye' and Two-Bit  yelling 'Use protection'.

We walked down to the supermarket and stole one of the shopping carts. I jumped in and we went riding around the neighborhood. We kept riding. When we picked up speed Pony would pick up his feet and fly with the cart.

Then we went back to the supermarket to return the cart and I pulled out a dime and put it in the rocket ride in front of the store. I sat on it and Pony sat on the back. We got a few weird stares. Then Mr. Hooper told us to leave.

 We left laughing our asses off. we walked to the lot and sat down. We sat in a nice silence. Not awkward. I turned to him and  kissed him.

But this kiss felt different, there was heat and passion. I pulled away and looked into Pony's eyes and saw pure lust. I liked it. I kissed him again. I flipped him over so I was straddling him. I bent down and kissed him. I knew this kiss meant more. He started kissing down my neck. I gasped when he found my sweet spot right above my collarbone. He started sucking on it and he blew on it which made me shiver. 

His hands were on my waist going higher. I pulled away.

"Not yet," I whispered into his ear. He smiled. "We should get going."

We walked home. I couldn't believe it was already getting dark.

We walked into the house. I looked at the clock, 12:57. W were almost an hour after curfew.

"Crap!" Darry is gonna kill us!" I whisper/shouted.

"Just walk upstairs. I'm sleeping in your room, so Soda don't know I'm late," Pony whispered.

We tip toed up the stairs and into my room. We slipped into bed.

Before I fell asleep Pony told me; "Be ready to wake up 15."

I smiled and fell asleep.
