The pic up there was when they went to a ranch and Pony was and still is shorter then me and I could tell he was embarrassed about it for the pic so I knelt down for him. It was actually pretty cute.

Next was getting Steve and Sodapop! I woke up to Darry gone Sodapop and Steve working on a car Pony and Johnny sleeping and a drunk Two bit on my couch. I walked outside with a bad case of morning breath. You have no idea of how big this advantage is. "Mornin" I yawned. I went to Sodapop and hugged him and just hung on him for a little "Mornin tuff. What are you drunk." He chuckled. "No I just loooooove you" I yawned and blew into his face. "If you really loved me you would go brush your teeth" he coughed. "Stevieeeeeeee" I said as he glared. "What do you want you dirty little rat" 

I acted offended "Soda he called me a dirty rat" I whined

"Steve dont be mean to my kid sister huh" Soda played along.

"Ya Steve it hurts my feelings."

"Fine if your gonna act like a baby i'll treat you like one" he smiled

"Steveeeee dont be suuch a jeeeerk" I chuckled as I hugged him and blew into his face

He rolled his eyes then said in a baby voice "Little Dashie needs to go brush her teeth or her brothers best friend is gonna go and shove a tooth brush down her throat."

I Blew into his face again and went back inside. I brushed my teeth and saw Ponyboy sleeping. He looked so peaceful. Too peaceful. I went to his bed and tickled him "Wake up Ponyboy wake up baby brother!!!" I yelled as he yelled trying to push me of off him. "Owww Dash stop.." Laugh"Dash" laugh "im Se-" laugh "S-s-serious" He yelled. I could tell he really was in pain which concerned me. He always did hate being tickled but always put up a strong fight. He never complains.  I looked at him and he had that hurt in his eye's that only I can see. "Pony?"

"What?" he asked trying to act confused.

"Pony whats wrong"

"Nothin, I just think im to old to be tickled."

"Hahaha, that's hilarious Ponyboy. What you a man now. I swear if you say yes then that must mean your never gonna grow facial hair!" I laughed so hard. He stormed off with his face full of anger. What the hell??? he always has a snaughty come back. I followed him "Soda tell Dash to stop teasing me!"

"Dash keep teasing Pony"

"Sodapop im serious!"

"I am too! know stop being so sensitive you big baby"

"Seriously Pony if your gonna get all butt hurt about your own sister teasing you then you shouldn't be around anybody. Especially Two bit" I chuckled

"Ponyboy what did she even tell you" Steve asked cleaning the engine a little.

"She said that im gonna be a man with no facial hair."

"Sorry to break it you little dude but that wasn't a joke she was telling the truth" Steve smirked as Pony stormed inside. I laughed.

"Pony whats up it was just a little joke. Look if it hurt that much then im sorry"

"Just shut up Dash im tired of you always butting in. Im fine alright"

With that I looked at him sensitive and confused with silence for a little while. He just looked a his shoes with pain in his eyes. Like when he is hurt and is trying to keep somthin from me. 

"Your not ok are you"

".........Im sorry I snapped Dash. It wasn't about you tickling me or about the jokes."

"Then what is it. You know you can tell me anything. I know it sounds dorky but your my best friend and I will always be there for you and you know that."

"I know" he sighs

He then pulls me into Soda and his room. He then pulled off his shirt and I couldn't believe what I saw.
