chapter nine

Pony loved his bike so much,that he would beg to go to the park every day just so he could ride there. If someone had to go to the local store, they would take pony and his bike. Pony couldn't wait for dallas to come over. "Dally" he screamed with excitement. He loved it when dally watched him. "Hey kid, what should we do today?" As if the hood needed to ask.

"How about we skip the park today?" Dal suggested, causing pony to pout. "Hey kiddo, you can still ride your bike today, i just thought we'd go somewhere different" dally hated seeing pony upset. Pony smiled up at dal. "Where we gunna go dal?" Pony asked even more excited. Because he was so little, no matter where they went, it was like a big adventure. "How about we go and visit your big brother soda at work today".

***************************************************************

"Soda" an excited pony called as he and dal arrived at the garage. Pony got ofv his hike and ran up to his big brother. Soda scooped him up. "Hi little man, what ate you doing here?" Soda asked, happy to see his little brother. "I rode my bike" pony smiled.

Dal went inside the shop and grabbed a pepsi. Soda carried pony inside and sat him on the counter. "The kid wanted to ride his bike and i was kinda gettin bored with the park, so here we are" dal explained. "Well i'm glad, i feel like i don't spend enough time with the sqirt" soda said. "I'm not a sqirt" pony laughed as soda ruffled his hair.

The only thing about visiting soda at work, was getting pony to leave. He hated saying goodbye to his big brother even though he would see him again later. "Come on kid, how about we stop for ice-cream on our way home". Soda lifted pony off the counter and hugged him goodbye. "Thanks dal" he said as he watched the two leave. "Bye bye soda" pony yelled. "Bye pony" soda yelled back.

***************************************************************

Between visiting soda, the big ride, and the ice-cream pony was so worn out when they got back home,that when dal laid him on the couch he went straight to sleep. Dal was surprised he didn't fall asleep on his bike.

A little while later, darry arrived home early. "Hey darry, what brings you home so early?" Dal asked tryin to be real quiet so he didn't wake pony. "Finally finished the house i was workin on, so the boss said to go home and call it a day". Pony woke up to the sound of his big brothers voice. "Hey kiddo, were you goid for dal today?" Darry asked giving his little brother a hug. "Yep, we saw soda, and i rided my bike, and i have a ice-cream". Pony told darry with a big smile. "Wow sounds like you had a good day" darry said putting his brother down so he could go and start dinner.

***************************************************************

Pony had been playing quitly in his room for an hour. The boys thought nothing of it as this was something pony often did. He liked to look at his books without disruption. Darry was about to mash some potatoes when he heard a loud scream coming from down the hall. Both he ans soda, who had also arrived home a short while ago went running down the hall.

Pony was in the bathroom holding one of his brothers shavers, with blood poorong out of his chin. He was standing there screaming. Darry lifted him up and took the shaver from him. He grabbed a towel and held it against pony's chin. Darry moved the towel and took a closer look. "He's gunna need stitches, darry expained to soda.
