1967, Tulsa

You were the only female curtis and you were about 19, a year younger than darry and after your parents died in a car crash, darry had to take care of you, pony and soda by himself, soda dropped out and to be honest, it was pretty normal with 3 boys in the house, not to mention: they kept the house clean!《》about 3 weeks ago you promised darry to make a bigger raise since you were gonna go on a 4 week trip for work stuff but the fact you AND sodapop looked like movie stars, it helped you both get more people coming to the east just to see your looks. You finally came back after a week.《》While darry was cooking, soda and pony were talking at the dining table- well, Soda was doing the talking more then Soda switched the topic to you, telling pony every secret you told him when you both were kids "off topic but she went on that trip before the night you and johnny ran off to windrexvill, she aint know you and him were gone, but when we lettered her about all this, she went mad and tried to come back to tulsa" soda said as pony raised an eyebrow "she did?" he questioned and soda nodded, about to add in a joke to ease the mood before you came in the front door and walked to the kitchen with a smile "guess what! my boss gave me a rai-" you trailed off and your smile faltered when you saw ponyboy at the table, Darry looked at you after he put 2 plates down infront of pony and soda but you tried to crack a joke after a minute of silence "you sure you found the right curtis? ponyboy sure aint look like a ken doll" you said and pony glared at you, His hair got cut and bleached by johnny and he thought it looked lousy on him "it looks like a blind person chopped it" you joked, crossing your arms and leaned against the wall
