"We all live in a yellow submarine,

yellow submarine, yellow submarine,

We all live in yellow submarine,

yellow submarine, yellow submarine."

my voice sang "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles on the way to Pony's. I had heard it on the radio this morning getting ready and it got stuck in my head. Just like that! I was skipping and it was only nine in the morning. Boy something was wrong with me. I laughed at the thought. I felt giddy almost.

"And our friends are all aboard,

Many more of them live next door,

And the band begins to play."

I saw Pony's house up ahead and smiled and started singing the next few lyrcis so he could hear my brilliant singing. Well, to me it was brilliant but to him? That's probably different.

"We all live in a yellow submarine,

yellow submarine, yellow submarine,

We all live in a yellow submarine

yellow submarine, yellow submarine!"

Ponyboy laughed at me and I smiled. "Was my singing brilliant or was it brilliant?" I asked walking up next to him and taking a seat beside him on the porch. His hair was greased back making it glint in the morning sun and his grey-green eyes were the perfect color of both. He smiled at me making me lightly blush.

"Yeah it was. I heard you singing from down the block." he said making me blush more. He patted my knee.

"Dont worry...it wasn't all bad." he said and I looked at him.

"What do you mean not all bad?" he laughed and smiled.

"It was good dont worry." he said and smiled looking out at the neighborhood. He then looked at me.

"So why in a cheery mood today all of a sudden?" he asked curious. I looked at him and almost snorted.

"Why wouldn't I be? Its Saturday, its a nice day and its cloud free." I said and smiled at him. He nodded understanding why I would be.

"Silly bookworm." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"You're so weird Reilly." he said looking at me. He looked at me a good long moment but I noticed he was looking at my eye where my bruise from the soc was still visible. He looked away though, not wanting to be rude for staring. I slightly smiled and sighed a bit.

"So, why'd you kiss me last night? You know, on the cheek?" he asked out of the blue. It was a wierd question but that's Pony being Pony. I blushed at the question and looked down.

"Well, because you saved me from those socs..." I stuttered out. I felt embarrassed almost. He smiled and wrapped his arm around me and gave my shoulder a tight squeeze.

"You're welcome." he said and smiled at me though his cheeks were a very light pink. We were like this for a while until the door burst open, Sodapop announcing breakfast and saying Hello to me.

"Hi to you too, Sodapop." I said and chuckled a bit. I helped Ponyboy up and we walked on inside together. We had been outside for an hour.

"Holy cow." I said looking at the time. It was 10:30 already. "Holy spamoni." I said and Two bit looked at me weirdly.

"Holy spamoni?" he asked weirded out by my vocabulary. I snorted a laugh and nodded. My vocabulary was a bit different than the guys. If I was really angry then I would use the slang and cuss, otherwise I had my own language.
