11

"Yeah, what about last night? I heard you guys in the living room."

Rainn's P.O.V.
(May 15, 1953)

It was about 9 in the morning. I woke up somehow having the energy to fix my car but problem is I have no idea where to find the things I need. The boys weren't awake yet. I mean no one went to sleep till around 1 in the morning. Me on the other hand, I'm didn't go to bed till 3am and I'm up at 9 fixing my car.

I messed around with the tools that were in their garage. Till I found out I couldn't do anything else with my car. There was a car parked out from the garage so I said with the hell with it and stared fixing that one. I looked around fixing the engine, doors and other things the car needed. It was around 11 when I fixed it.

I smiled in victory when I got the car moving. I pulled it around front and saw the boys on the front pouch. I got out and point at the car, "Look what I did!" Darry smiled and laughed walking down the front steps to me, "Nice going kid." I gave him the keys that were still in the car, "Here you go."

"You'd fixed it so you can keep it." I nodded, "No it's fine, I have my car, Soda can have this one." I threw the keys to Soda with him totally missing it, and bending down to pick them up. "Where can I get a new bumper for my car?" I looked between the boys, Darry had an answer, "Junk yard." "Where is that?" "I'll take you, we can go in my car."

Me and Darry got ready getting into his trunk. Soda and Pony stayed behind and waited for us to come back. The gang should be getting there soon anyways. I looked out the window, holding my head on my hand.

"So tell me." Darry started.
I looked over at him still leaning against the window, "Tell you what?"
He looked straight ahead but still talked to me, "About you and Soda?"
"What about us?"
"Is there anything happening?"
"No, he's still hung up about Sandy."
He glanced at me grinning then looked away, "You sure? I think Soda is really into you."
"Yeah, Soda is just being nice."
"Yeah, what about last night? I heard you guys in the living room."
I stoped breathing for a second, "What did you hear?"
"Nothing, it was mostly mumbled that I heard."
"So you didn't hear anything?"
"No." He turned into the junk yard waiting for them to open the gate that kept this place locked up.

He pulled around going to the auto section, a guy named Rick came out and told us where to go. He parked, and we got out looking around for a front bumper and a back.

I followed behind him making sure I didn't run into anything, "What about you? What about your love life?"
"I don't have one. I have 2 brothers and a gang to look after, a girl being apart of that is to much to handle.
We walked to a pile and started looking around, "What if you got one?"
"Maybe if something happened, maybe just maybe." He stopped and picked up things but then putting them right back down.

We went around looking to find something but nothing came up. We stayed there for about 2 more hours to only find a front bumper. Then we left, going back to the Curtis' house.

Darry carried the bumper over his should like he would with roofing and brought it the back. He put it down beside the car. The bumper was a kinda rusted silver, all it need was a buff and a new paint job. I walked behind Darry back into the house seeing the whole gang was here.

You're probably asking yourself, last night you were in so much pain and could barely move. How in the hell can you be perfectly fine after 5 hours of sleep. The powers I have keep me going, all I need is sleep or such little time. Right after I sleep everything is fine again, I'm back to normal.

I sat down on the couch next to Steve, I put my foot on the couch resting my chin on my knee. Everyone was talking among them self's, or they were in a conversation with someone else. I didn't feel the need to talk so I watched the Sunday morning cartoons that were on. Since they were cartoons, I'm guess Two put them on.

"So what are we doing? I don't want to just stay here."
My star stood still at the TV watching closely to pink panther.
"I don't know, what do you feel like doing?"
"Rainn? What do you want to do?"
I looked away, "I don't know."
"We can go test drive the car."
"How about you guys go out for a little while, I'll start to cook lunch, when I'm done I'll holler for you guys."
They smiled, Darry went to get a football and Soda got the keys. I stood up walking to the kitchen.
"Bye Rainn!" They yelled walking out. I looked out the window seeing them cheering and getting them self hyper.

—Lunch—

I went to the front pouch with a kitchen towel in my hand wiping me hands. "BOYS! LUNCH!" They were at the lot which isn't even that far from the house, meaning them can hear me.

I heard the tires of the car, against the pavement, then very soon, I saw the car I fixed coming down the road with boys hanging out the window. "Oh gosh." I mumbled. The car to a hauling stop then the boys got out. I laughed holding the door open for them. They rushed in when the smiled the food.

Darry was the last one in, when he saw the food he smiled, "You know how to grill?" "Who doesn't?" All the boys at the table with food in their mouths yelled, "Me!" I closed the door and walked into the kitchen getting some food too.

—Later—

It was around 4, all of the gang sat around the house. Pony was at the table doing homework, while Soda and Steve sat and played cards. Johnny, Dally, and Two day in the living room watching TV. Darry went out to get things that were needed around the house. I was in the kitchen doing dishes from lunch.

I wasn't looking at the table but I could hear the conversation that was happening.

(Credit to who made the picture, I found this conversation picture thing on insta)

"Writing in your diary there Pony?" Steve teased.
"Yeah, actually I just wrote you a poem, wanna here it?" Pony chuckled under his breath. I heard papers shuffling then he cleared his throat.
"Roses are red, violet are blue, I have 5 fingers, the middle one is for you."
I heard cards getting put on the table and a swift in a chair. Then I heard Soda laughing.
"Idiot." Steve mumbled, but everyone still heard it.
"Of course I talk like an idiot, how else would you understand me?" Pony said with confidence.

Soda laughs even louder. I heard chair being pushed back and the sound of feet stomping on the floor.
I turned around to see Pony being chased by Steve. Soda fell off his chair from laughing so much.
Pony came running towards me and hid behind me.

Steve tired to get him but I pushed him away, "Just leave the kid alone." Pony's head moved out from the side of me and he stuck his tongue out. I moved out from in front of him, because I knew Steve was going to get him.

Steve just gave him a noogie then walked away. Pony breathed out then looked at me, "You were just going to let me die?" I laughed, "But you didn't." He rolled his eyes walking away.

When I finished with the dishes, I sat at the table with Steve and Soda. "So what are you going to do tomorrow?" Soda asked dealing out cards. "I got to get my car fixed before anything." I moved around cards till I found out what I was doing. "Just come down the DX with us tomorrow." I shrugged, "I don't see why not." I laid a card down.
