(Different POV of “meeting his friends - BOT 129”. Darrel’s (Darry) POV + different setting)

As one of his pal’s, Dallas (Dally) Winston, told the gang that he was dating you, he was skeptical at first about you. But as you and the gang grew closer—you and him had became good friends, and you started taking his youngest brother, Ponyboy, off his hands sometimes, which Ponyboy didn’t mind one bit since he liked you, as a friend and cause he saw you as a mother figure—but you weren’t “strict like Darry”, he’d say. Darry worked two jobs, and he got stressed sometimes taking care of his two brothers—of course he loved Pony boy a lot but sometimes he needed a break.

Overall, Darry thought you were mature, but also fun. And you knew how to handle any kind of situation.

After about a while, you, Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy wanted to hang out today. So you and Darry put your money together to get tickets for the fair, and snacks and drinks like that. You guys invited Dallas but he was busy with something thats actually useful and something that won’t get him in trouble cops which was rare, and you made sure of it by checking in on him once in a while—he loved you so much, and so did you.

You, Darry, SodaPop, and Ponyboy were driving to the fair. Darry was driving, Sodapop sitting in the front talking about something completely random, and you and Ponyboy were sitting in the backseat just talking about stuff—Pony was so silly, he made you giggle so much to the point where your cheeks hurt.

After a while of talking, you and Ponyboy was just DYING of laughter, like neither of you could breathe. Darry sighed and shook his head, but had a small smirk on his face. Sodapop couldn’t help but to let out a small chuckle but was still talking about random stuff. After a moment of “silence” you and Ponyboy shot each other side eyes and bursted out laughing again.

Ponyboy: “I can’t breathe—I can’t breathe!” He yelled, laughing as his face was turning red faintly.

You bursted out laughing as you two slapped each other’s arms, you guys always hit each other when you guys laughed. You screamed in attempt to get air, just to laugh more as tears built up in the corners on Ponyboy’s eyes.
