Pony's pov
Well that was some christmas. Dally gave me his favorite necklace wich he never takes off. I was looking at last night and noticed something i didn't see before. Dal had gotten an inscription put on it. You will always be loved and protected love dal xx. It gave me a warm feeling inside.
Johnny me and dal were all going to be staying in new york, while darry, soda, steve and two-bit would return to tulsa. Darry and soda said because of how miserable i was in tulsa, after what happened to me, that i should stay here and go to school.
I decided that since it was our last week together, that i wanted to do something with my brothers. We started to think up different things to do together. We also did some things with the whole gang too. Dal and i took them to the top of the empire state building.
Dally took soda, johnny, steve and two-bit to a car show. While darry and i went to check out the school iwould be attending in the new year. The school was a lot bigger than the one back in tulsa. Because i had a one on one day with darry, i wanted to do something just with soda the next day.
That night i was lying in bed next to dally. "What ya thinkin about sweetheart?" He looked over at me. "Nothin, just thinkin of somethin i could do with soda tomorrow". "Take him ice-skating" dal says, before taking me in his arms. "If he visits when the weather warms up, you can take him to a Yankee game".
I lay on dals chest, close my eyes and fall asleep.

I watched pony as he started drifting off to sleep. New years eve was in a couple of days, and i had something special planned.
We woke up the next morning. Pony took off with sodapop, while the rest of stayed home and made a plan for new years eve. "I'm takin pony to the top of the empire state building, where i'm gonna kiss him at midnight". I tell the boys.
It was real good just hangin with soda. We ended up goung ice skating, but spent most of the day goofing off. Like we did when we were kids. We started to get cold. So we decided to head back home.
Both darry and dal weren't too happy when they saw us. I had just gotten over a fever, and yet here i was wet from the snow and flushed. I went upstairs and jumped in a hot shower. I got dressed into some track pants and put on a long sleeve shirt. It was one of soda's. I went downstairs with the others.
Dally was on the couch with a blanket. I went and sat next to him. He put his arm around me and put the blanket over both of us. I felt bad. I didn't want to be sick for my brothers last few days. Plus tomorrow would be news years eve.
Johnny found an old movie on the tv. It was miracle on 34th street. Soda, darry and me started to tear up by the end. "Whats wrong baby" dal whispered in my ear. "Nothing babe, this was one of our mom's favorite movies". "I'm sorry baby". He kisses the top of my head. I lay on his lap and close my eyes.

I look over at my baby brother lying there with dallas. I can see how much they love each other. I think i've done a good thing by letting him stay in new york. I know he would just go down hill if he were to come back home.
He's got a great future ahead of gim, and it doesn't nee to be jeopardized on account of some stupid soc. Even though there are times pony and i don't get along, i sure am going to miss him.

I've always loved watching pony sleep. He just looks so young and innocent, almost like he doesn't have a care in the world. But i know different now, after what happen to him back in tulsa. I talked to darry about it. It didn't take much for him to agree that pony would be better off here in new york with dallas.
It made us feel even better about the decision when johnny told us he was staying in new york. Then dals aunt rachel told us the boys were more then welcome to stay with her.
I'm really going to miss my baby brother. But i know this is the best thing for him.

I looked down at pony, he looks so peaceful when he sleeps. I'm wonderin if i should carry him up to bed or leave him for a bit longer. I decide to pick him up and take him to bed. He groans a little, but somehow manages to wrap his arms around my neck. I say goodnight to everyone.
I lay pony on the bed and take off his jeans. I undress myself and lie on the bed next to him. I pull the covers over both of us and wrap my arms around him. He snuggles into me and starts to lightly snore. "I love you baby" i whisper before kissing his head.
