Kathlee's POV
I awoke to the sound of sizzling pans and the smell of beautiful fresh cut flowers. A strong arm around my waist and hot breath on my neck, coming out in slow rhythmic exhales. 'This must be what heaven is like' I thought dreamily.
Heaven - barely awake on a Sunday morning, entwined in the limbs of the boy I love, surrounded by my favourite sounds and smells. The sun bravely dawning through the opened shutters, and the cool Tulsa air, smelling of late summer and exhaust, wafting in to perk me up.
I sighed, smiling to myself, enjoying this paradise for as long as possible.
'If this is heaven, where are the angels?' I giggled to myself, still quite content in my groggy sleep heaven stupor.
"Up an' at 'em kiddos!" Sodapop beamed, throwing the door open with a bang and bringing in two plates of breakfast.
"Jesus Soda! You near gave me a damn heart attack!" Pony yelled from behind me, propping up his head but not yet releasing his grip from my waist.
"Oh I'm ever so sorry Pony, with all your beauty sleep needs and all...how inconsiderate of me." He teased, snickering and setting down the plates at the foot of our bed, "princess Ponyboy, my favourite kid brother."
"Ah shut it you!" He laughed, jumping out of bed and onto Soda's back, "if I'm a princess then your my peasant. Giddy up!"
Sodapop wrestled him to the floor where the two spared and giggled for what seemed like hours, with me cheering them on, laughing the whole way through.
"Alright-" Pony coughed, struggling for breath and pinned up against the carpet by his older brothers arms "I call it! I call it, you win."
"Thank you princess," Soda teased, standing up and helping Pony to his feet, "what are y'all plans today? Pretty weather out, why don't yous do something outside?"
"Well actually..." Pony trailed off, "I need to talk to you about that - Kathlee you stay here and start your breakfast, alrighty?"
"Yeah...okay..." I said, a million thoughts going off in my mind like canon bombs, and started in on my bacon and toast.

Soda's POV
"You and Kath, right? Oh Ponyboy, I knew it! I just knew it! Ever since you carried her home from that jumping I knew; and Stevie said I was just seeing things, but you got a thing for Kathlee don't cha?"
I know my brother better than anyone else in the entire world, so can ya blame me for needing to be right about what the kiddo's feeling?
"Yeah..." He sighed, scratching the back of his neck, "I think I love her, Sodapop...but I don't know anything about girls, and I want to give Kathlee the best day today...but I don't know how."
I thought about all the times I asked myself those questions when I was Pony's age but all the answers I never got. Darry was always too busy, and Dally and Two-Bit were just dirty with their answers.
'Take her out to a movie Kid,' Dally would start, 'and then once you two are settled in the back of the drive in...'
Two-Bit would continue, 'you slip your hand under her skirt and watch them stars fly!'
"The beach!" I exclaimed, grabbing Pony by the shoulders and forcing him to look up at me, "it'll be great kiddo, trust me - I've got a plan."
"Oh yeah...?" He sighed, still unsure but looking up to me with more hope.
"You betcha - listen to this..."
