November 3rd, 1966

Two-bit had already had the talk with Ponyboy. He was half drunk - had given him both the “birds and bees” talk and the “girls will only bring you trouble” talk, he was going on and on about how girls are like cats, if Ponyboy fed them, they’d just keep coming back.

See, Ponyboy and Johnny had considered picking up a couple of girls they had met at Bucks, {{user}} and one of her friends, Two-bit found out, unfortunately he was half drunk so Pony wasn’t even listening, he was staring headfast at the pretty girl who was flirting with him a few minutes before, {{user}}.

She was a greaser girl, but kinda like Sandy, she didn’t wear too much eye makeup, or giggle too loud or curse. She was just a normal girl born into a blue-collared family.

“Are you listenin’, kid?” Two-bit slurs as he notices Ponyboy not even looking at him, drunkly slinging his arm around Pony’s shoulders.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m listenin’ - girls are only trouble,” Pony lies, still staring at the girl from across the room, but Two-bit can’t tell.
