     A few days later~  
    Today was a very important day. Well not for too many people. Just me and my brother Steve. It's our birthday today. Him and I turn seventeen. I have a suspicion that someone is throwing a surprise party for me. Sophie told me I should wear a dress to my dinner tonight. And for some odd reason Dally has been acting weird.
     I put on a silver dress with blue boots with stars on them. (Picture above). I've been waiting for the perfect day to wear these shoes and I think I finally found it.
     Dally said he was picking me up in about twenty minutes to go to the "dinner". I began to do my makeup, I went very natural. I quickly curled my hair and before I knew it Dally was here. I walked downstairs with Steve. For some reason Dally didn't get ready with us. I mean this was his house before it was ours. That was also strange to me.
      Once I walked outside I seen him standing in a suit. Dally in a suit. Who bribed him? He was also holding roses. I'm going to cry.
      "You look gorgeous birthday girl." He smiled and kissed me.
      "Why thank you I could say the same to you." I leaned into another kiss.
      "Happy birthday you two." He smiled towards both of us.
      "Thanks dally." We said in unison. Dally opened the car door for me and I got in the front while Steve got in the back. Dally made his way to the driver seat abs began to drive.
     "In all seriousness though where the hell did you get a suit?" I laugh.
     "Who talked you into this?" Steve asked laughing.
     "First off I found one for cheap. Second off I chose to do this." He rolled his eyes.
     "Is this Dally being... soft?" Steve joked.
     "Shut up before I crash this car and I don't even care if it's your birthday or not." He said acting all tough again.
"I think you offended him." I laughed.
"You randles really are something else." He sighed as he pulled into a parking lot of a building ive never seen before. A few other cars were there, none I recognized.

We walked in and we seen a few tables with chairs. And a few other tables with food. Nobody was there though. Until we heard "surprise!" As a bunch of people jump from behind tables. I seen the whole gang, a few of my greaser friends, and a few of Steve's friends. Everyone looked so nice and they all were smiling.
"Oh my goodness happy birthday!" Sophie walked over to me and gave me a big hug. "You're seventeen now!"
"I know and thank you!" I smiled.
"He must really love you, this was all his idea." She leaned and whispered.
"I would've thought it was yours." I laughed.
"I'm upset it wasn't mine." She laughed with me.
Then sophie,Dally, Steve, and I walked over to the rest of the gang. "Happy birthday you two!" Most of them said with big smiles on their faces.
"Thanks you guys!" Steve and I said going around and hugging everyone.
"Well how else do we start a party without a little bit of alcohol?" Two bit asked.
"As long as you serve us birthday kids first." I laugh gesturing to Steve and I.
"Ponyboy I better not catch you with anything other than water." Darry said pointing at him.
"But soda can drink." He whined.
"Ponyboy you are fourteen years old." Darry said walking away. Two bit then poured me and Steve drinks. Then the rest of the gang.
"Cheers!" We all said clinking our red split cups and drinking away.

Later into the night a slow song came on. Dally grabbed my hand gently and pulled me onto a very small dance floor. Nobody but us were dancing. It practically was like we were the only two people in the world.
I rested my arms over his shoulders and leaned my head into his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist as we slowly swayed. I know how Dally is and this is very far out of his comfort zone. He hates dressing up and he hates dancing. So why is he doing it for me? I guess love really does weigh out hate.
"I love you." I smiled into his chest and whispered softly. Just loud enough to where he could hear me.
"I love you too paisley." He said using my name which my made my stomach turn to mush. Anything this guy does makes me happy. I smile when I think about his name. I get butterflies when I hear his voice. My heart races when I see him. He's everything I've ever wanted and more.
The song slowly stopped and a more up beat song came on next. Luckily I was on drink four and was feeling it a little bit. I stayed on the dance floor dancing away. While Dally headed out. He did one dance and that's all I expected from him. Soon enough sophie came and joined me.

It was the end of the night and Dally and I were heading back to our place. Steve decided he wanted to sleep at the Curtis house tonight. I thanked everyone and we eventually left. "So you really pulled that off huh?" I ask.
"I guess I did." He smiled to himself knowing he did a good job. He's so cocky.
"Thank you, I loved it." I smiled.
"That's all that matters. Are you excited to open your gift once we get home?" He asked looking at me.
"Of course I am!" I squealed like a six year old.
Once we got back we headed upstairs and he made me sit on the bed. He went to the closet and pulled out a pink and black bag and handed it to me. "Go ahead." He gestured for me to open it.
I went to open it and I seen a box. It was specifically some sort of jewelry. I opened it and I see a very shiny ring. Is he proposing?
