It often got boring around home when there wasn't too much to do.

Ponyboy had read most of his books, Mickey was bound to get boring at some point.. so what else was there to do?

Bottle rockets, that's what. It was actually quite easy when Dallas gave you the fireworks in exchange for a cigarette or two.

Standing just outside on the porch of the Curtis' house, you and Ponyboy fiddled with the bottle. Not that it would be very visible in the light of the day.

"You sure Darry is alright with this, Pone?"

You muttered, raising a brow as you watched him place the firework into the empty Mountain-Dew bottle and light it up.

"Huh?-, Oh, absolutely not, but what else is there to do?"
