Preference #21: They hear you sing (Part 1).

  • Sodapop: "And then he kissed me!" You sang along to the radio, dancing around your kitchen. One of your favorite songs came on, and it was "Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals. The whole song was about an innocent love: meeting him, going on the first date, having your first kiss, taking him to meet your parents, and whatever else would happen in the future. You kept singing and singing, but you didn't know that Sodapop was there listening to your voice and watching you dance. "Nice voice." He grinned. You nearly fell to the floor out of surprise and looked at him, his grin growing even more. "Th-thanks." You stammered, regaining your balance. "Sing some more!" He clapped, sitting down. You just smiled at him and continued singing the song even though it was already done playing.
  • Dally: "All of my love, all of my kissin', you don't know what you've been a-missin', oh boy!" Your hums turned into strong murmurs as you looked around the record shop and heard the famous Buddy Holly song make its way through the air. You felt a still presence a few feet away from you, but you shook it off; the person was probably just trying to find a good record. "You like Bill Haley?" A gruff, male voice asked. You rolled your eyes and turned to face the guy. "It's not 'Bill Haley', it's 'Buddy Holly'." You scoffed. "Sorry, I don't listen to Soc music." He mocked, starting to walk away. "I'm as much a Soc as you." You hissed. He stopped in his tracks and turned to you. He smirked and nodded his head lightly. "Good to know." He chuckled. "What's your name?" He asked, stepping closer. "Bill Haley." You joked, your smile wide.
  • Two-Bit: It was the annual talent show at Will Rogers High, and you were nervous because you were going to be singing but even more nervous though because Two-Bit would be there. "I can do this." You thought as the previous act left. "Now we have Y/N and she'll be performing 'Jailhouse Rock'!" The host cheered as the crowd clapped, but you heard Two-Bit, Johnny, Steve, and Ponyboy in the audience cheering. You got on stage and quickly set up. You strummed the guitar using the right chords for the song's beginning. "The warden threw a party in the county jail, the prison band was there and they began to wail. The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing, you should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing, let's rock!" You sang your heart out and everybody was on their feet dancing. You ended with the riff and the crowd went wild. "I never knew she had a voice like that! That's my girl!" Two-Bit yelled, smiling like the Cheshire Cat. You ended up winning first place and Two-Bit wouldn't stop bragging to the gang about your hidden talent.

Preference #20: You play video games.

  • A/N: This is really new for me! Someone requested this and I'll try my best to write it! xo - Sophie
  • Ponyboy: "So, you just tilt the wheel like this?" Ponyboy asked. You nearly slammed your head into a wall; it wasn't that hard to understand! "Yeah, Pony, you do that." You sighed, finally taking the Mario Kart disc out of its box. "Don't blame me! I might even win first place." He huffed triumphantly. He ended up losing.
  • Sodapop: "Soda, how could you have possibly killed me?!" You gaped at him, nearly chucking the controller at his head. He just laughed at you. "Hey, it's not my fault you stink at Call Of Duty!" He laughed even harder now, clutching his stomach from laughing a little too much. "You know what, I'm leavin'." You hissed, obviously angry. You were the best at that game, how was he able to even come close to your score?! "Hey now, best two out of three?" He said, grabbing your hand and flashing you his signature grin.
  • Dally: "No, Y/N, you press A and then B!" Dally yelled at you, trying to stay alive in the game. "I'm no good at this, Jesus Christ! You kno- Dally, what did I do?!" You cried out, nearly about to give up. "Babe, you already died. You were lookin' at my screen the whole entire time. I hope you knew that." "Oh."
  • Two-Bit: "Doll, look what I found!" Two-Bit yelled, barging into your house. "What?" "Epic Mickey!" He sang, breaking the box open and sticking it into your Wii. "Turn on the controller!" He ordered, nearly peeing his pants of excitement. "Woah." You both sighed, looking at the graphics of the game before the starting menu even came up.
  • Darry: "And how come I haven't even heard of this game yet?!" He gasped, looking up at the item in your hand. You just bought Halo, and you decided to test it out with Darry. "Yup, I just bought it today. I don't get how you haven't heard, but that's okay." "I don't know why you're still standin' around, let's play!" You both ended up spending hours playing, until you finally finished the game.
  • Johnny: "Rock Band or Guitar Hero?" You asked Johnny, hoping he'd pick the latter. "Guitar Hero, why?" He responded as if it was the most obvious answer in the world. You punched the air in victory, and pulled out the video game and guitar-shaped controller out of the trunk of your parent's car. "No way, this is so cool!" He screamed out, clutching the items in his arms. "C'mon, I got the box fixed, let's go!" You giggled, grabbing his hand and running inside.
  • Steve: "Shoot that guy! No, not that one, the othe- Y/N, you're killin' me, literally!" Steve was yelling at you, trying to help you out, but he really wasn't being helpful. "Steve, how about you play for me?! I don't know how to do this!" You laughed helplessly, shaking your head and placing the controller on his lap. "No, no, no! Don't go! I promise not to yell at you." He grinned at you. You just shook your head and sat down defeatedly. "That's my girl. Okay, now press that button, move the joystick. No, babe, sto- oh, uh, kiddin'." He smiled a toothy smile at when he noticed that you were glaring up at him.

Preference #19: You both go on a trip.

  • Two-Bit: Now, let's be real here. Where else would Keith "Two-Bit" Mathews take you? You guessed it; Disneyland. You were happy to get the chance go on all of the rides, while he was nearly peeing his pants of excitement because he would get the chance to meet the one mouse that started it all.
  • Dallas: He took you to his home state, the famous New York. He may have lived there, but he apparently never lived close to Times Square. So, you two took the liberty in going on a little road trip all the way there. You both looked in the different stores and just took in the urban view of it all, something you'd rarely see in Tulsa.
  • Sodapop: You both went to Hollywood! With his good looks and your fashion sense, you both fit in just perfectly during your time there. California didn't have "Socs" or "greasers", they had people who knew how to entertain, and you saw a lot of them on every street.
  • Steve: He took you to New Jersey. With his cockiness and temper, it was as if he was a New Jersey native. You both went to the boardwalk and local fairs, looking for a way to make time pass.
  • Johnny: You both went to North Carolina. The scenery was absolutely amazing! The mountains were towering over you, causing your figures to both be extremely small. Once you both decided to hike up the mountains, you looked out and it was as if the world was endless.
  • Ponyboy: You two, of course because of your young age, were only able to go on a school field trip that was just considered a "real trip" because of where you were going. You two went to Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and you both were so interested by the massive rockets hanging inside the buildings and those outside for display.
  • Darry: You both decided to go to New Orleans. The music sounding out in the air was spectacular, and you two danced the nights away. The highlight of the evening was when the Sun was just hiding behind the buildings, soon passing the horizon.

Preference #18: How they celebrate your birthday.

  • *A/N*: I'm sorry that this was a little late! This is for the anon who's birthday was yesterday, I believe. <3 xo - Sophie
  • Dally: He made sure that there were no other parties going on at Buck's, so he threw a huge party with the help of the rest of the gang, himself, Buck, Tim Shepard's gang, a few greaser girlfriends, and your good friends from school. Of course, he didn't invite your parents, because he knew how much they disliked him.
  • Sodapop: Sodapop was famous for his wonderful cooking, but could he live up to the test of cooking a dinner for you both? That's what he decided to find out as he cooked up some mashed potatoes and fried chicken. and he somehow didn't set the kitchen on fire!
  • Darry: He had set up two small parties for you, one with the whole gang and one with just you both and his brothers. It was real sweet, he brought out a large, freshly baked chocolate cake from the fridge, and you all devoured it in seconds. Darry even pushed some cake into your face, leaving a mess in the house and starting an all-out food fight.
  • Steve: He took you out to the Nightly Double so you two can see the new Disney movie that you were dying to see, 101 Dalmatians. He knew how you absolutely loved the whimsy of Disney films, and he couldn't help but chuckle once in a while because of how the movie interested you.
  • Ponyboy: You ended up being sick on your birthday, so Ponyboy visited you instead and bought you a copy of a new book you wanted. You were a little too sick to even hold the book right, so Ponyboy read to you, causing you to fall asleep instantly.
  • Two-Bit: He woke you up on an early Saturday morning to get your birthday started off just right, and that was by watching Mickey Mouse. Then, you both ended up just watching more television and watching even more cartoons. The day finally ended with some cuddling and chocolate cake, even a drink or two.
  • Johnny: You claimed to know how much he cared for you and loved you, but he would always prove you wrong by showing you how much he really did do all of those things. Of course, you knew that he was a little tight on money, but he surprised you by buying you a beautiful diamond necklace which you now wore all the time.

Preference #17: Going shopping (Part 2).

  • Steve: Let's face it, Steve Randle wasn't one to stick around to shop with his girlfriend - at least not willingly. You begged him to come with you, and he just couldn't deny. He trudged behind you, while you power-walked throughout the whole mall. You could hear Steve yelling at you to wait, but you would just giggle and walk even faster. The faster he walked, the less of a chance there would be of him walking home, and he knew it. "C'mon honey, wait!" He panted as he tried to catch up to you. "Stop slowin' down! The more time you waste, the less time you'll see me in the little black dress!" You winked, turning around. And right when you winked, Steve started running at full speed.
  • Two-Bit: "Jesus, Two! Stop!" You groaned as you were trying to find a bra. You ordered your boyfriend to stay outside, but he would never listen to you. He was laughing loudly as he wore a red bra on his head. "What, doll? I'm just havin' a little fun!" He sang as he winked at you, pulling up a lacy underwear. You just blushed and ripped the undergarment from his hand, placing it back where it was. You noticed the other female shoppers shaking their heads in annoyance, and their boyfriends trying to not laugh, along with the workers.
  • Darry: "It's nice to have a day off." Darry smiled as he took a bite out of his pizza. You just nodded in agreement, taking a sip from his soda. You both just spent a few hours at the mall, and you decided to take a break at the food court. You bought a new skirt, and Darry treated himself to a new t-shirt. It was weird for you both, though; you had a busy job at The Dingo, and Darry also had little time on his hands because of his job. But, it was a good kind of weird since you both were spending quality time with each other.

Preference #16: They run into your ex-boyfriend.

  • Johnny: You were busy, so Johnny decided to hang out with Ponyboy. They were walking around, but Johnny stopped in his tracks when he saw your ex-boyfriend and his friends on the next block. Your ex was a greaser like Johnny, but Johnny was afraid of him, because he was muscular, strong, and a jerk. Johnny never really understood why you chose him over your ex, but he didn't complain.
  • Dally: It was during a rumble, greasers versus Socs. Everybody was taking part in the face-off; it was like a final showdown that you would see in an action movie. Dally was there, and so was your idiot ex; your ex-boyfriend was a Soc. You broke up with him because he cheated on you, and Dally was there for you during the break-up. Dally walked up to him and glared. "You the guy who cheated on Y/N?" He asked in his heavy accent. "Yeah, what's it to you? Never did like 'er, anyway, only 'er bod-." Your ex replied, but never finished talking. Dally socked him instantly, and an all-out war started.
  • Sodapop: "And then the pancakes burned! I made green pancakes for nothin'! I spent so much ti- Y/N? You there?" He joked, waving his hand in front of your face. But you just sat there, not paying attention to Sodapop, at The Dingo while staring at who was just outside the door. "Oh, God, no." You groaned as you hid your face in your hands, sinking into your seat. "What's wrong? Is it so-" Sodapop said, turning around to see what you were looking at, until you interrupted him. "No! Stop looking! It's my ex, he's here!" You hissed, pulling him back down. "Wow, he has a weird nose. What were you doin' with that guy?!" He asked you, gaping. "There's a reason why he's my ex, Soda." You reminded him, taking a sip out of your chocolate shake.
  • Steve: You made Steve go with you to the hospital because he broke his hand from punching some guy in the face. "I can't believe you punched someone, you're the one who usually gets punched!" You laughed when he snapped his head up to look at you. "Hey! That ain't funny!" He pouted. "It is to me." You said, kissing his cheek, then walking through the hospital entrance. "Hey, what's the big idea, pal?! Wasn't a punch enough?" You heard Steve yell as you were talking to the receptionist. "Well, I have a black eye, thanks to you!" You heard an all-too-familiar voice yell back. It was your ex-boyfriend. "Stevie, you punched him?! That's my ex-boyfriend! Good job!" You yelled, glaring at your ex-boyfriend who was gaping at you. Steve just smiled widely, because he knew that he sure did a good job.
  • Darry: You two were grocery-shopping, so you both split up and went to different isles. You reached the isle where the cake mix would be, and you noticed that there was only one more box left of vanilla cake mix, your favorite. You reached for it, but you froze when you heard someone's footsteps. "Is that the same thing you ate when I 'broke your heart'?" You heard the annoying voice of your ex. You cringed and turned around. "When 'you' broke my heart? Honey, I dumped you. Havin' fun with that broad?" You scoffed, taking your attention away from him. "No. I dumped 'er; I'm actually lookin' for someone else." He whispered, getting close to you. "Step away from her before I punch your face in." You heard Darry snarl. Your ex's eyes went wide when he saw Darry, and he was gone in a few seconds. "Thanks, Superman." You breathed. "You're welcome, darlin'. But, why did you go for the losers?" Darry asked, dumbfounded while putting his favorite soda into the cart.
  • Ponyboy: He was sitting in the back of the room in Science class, and you were sitting in the front. Sadly, you two weren't partners, so you both weren't able to talk to each other in class. Even worse, your ex-boyfriend sat at the table in front of Ponyboy, but the actual seat next in front of Pony was empty. "Y/N, I'm going to ask you to move seats today. Please move to the seat in front of Ponyboy." Your teacher drawled, and you felt yourself go pale. Your teacher had to be joking. You grabbed your things and moved to where your teacher told you to sit. In reality, there was no bad blood between you and your ex; you both mutually ended things. You just felt a little awkward. Your ex just smiled at you, and you managed to smile back, but Pony noticed your discomfort and kept a close eye on you both. Nobody was allowed to fool around with you, bad blood or not; you were Pony's girl, no one else's.
  • Two-Bit: You saw your ex drinking a beer, talking to some random kids. "Uh, Two, I need to tell you somethin'." You squeaked, nervously playing with the hem of your skirt. "What is it, sweetie?" He asked, walking with you on the way to a party. "Okay, my ex is here at this party, so stay away from him! I don't want drama, this party can't be ruined by tension. Oh no, he's there!" You rushed, not pausing for any breaths. He just stared at you. "Okay." He shrugged, and you were left in shock. You didn't ask anymore questions, and time flew by. You both decided to have a beer, and he went to the bar to get the bottles. You thought he'd be quick, but it took forever. He finally came, a smile on his face, and handed you the beer. "What was the hold-up?" You casually asked. "Oh, nothin'. I was gettin' a few beers and a guy complimented my jacket. He's sittin' righ' over there!" Two-Bit pointed to the guy, and you nearly spit out your beer. It was your ex, waving at you with a big grin.

Preference #15: You're scared (Part 1).

  • Sodapop: You were whimpering nonstop during the night, but you were trying your best to stay quiet because your boyfriend was sleeping. "Baby, I know you're trying to hide something. What's wrong?" He mumbled in his morning voice, but it was the middle of the night. "I'm afraid of the dark." You whispered, looking at him with wide eyes. He just chuckled and nuzzled his head into your neck, interlocking his fingers with yours. "Nothin' will happen, I promise." He yawned, and his heartbeat soon lulled you to sleep.
  • Two-Bit: "Hey, Two, have you seen my - what the, ow!" You ended up screaming as you fell flat on your face. "Y/N? Darlin'?! Are you okay?" He yelled from what you now think is the living room. "Yeah, I'm fine. I think the lights went out; that thunderstorm sure is scary." You chuckled nervously. "Oh, is little Y/N afraid of a little darkness?" You could see the grin growing on his face. "No, just thunderstorms." You whispered as you saw a lightning bolt out the window which lit up the room and your bodies, followed by a loud clap of thunder. You ran to your boyfriend, to be held by his strong arms; he wouldn't let anything happen to you anytime soon.
  • Dally: "Doll, tell me what's buggin' you." Dally whispered, kissing your forehead. "Nothin', everything's okay, alrigh'?" You shrugged, slipping on your heels. He didn't believe you though, because he still asked you questions; well, it's more like he demanded you. "Tell me!" He whined, not breaking eye contact. "It's just that, I'm a little scared about this party. I mean, nobody there likes me. They never have." You looked down and shuffled your feet. "You think I care if they like you or not? You're my girl, and I wouldn't give a hang about them. I'll take care of it, 'kay?" "Love you." "Love you more." And at that, you both were out of the house.

Preference #14: Your favorite thing to do during the winter.

  • Dally: Every year, you love to go ice skating with your closest friends. So, you decided to invite Dally this time. He never really did ice skate before, so he surprisingly decided to go with you. You didn't hesitate to laugh every time he fell on his butt or flat on his face, though.
  • Two-Bit: You two love to cuddle under the covers and watch Mickey Mouse while eating chocolate cake, which Two-Bit may or may not have smuggled from the Curtis house. He knows how you don't really like him drinking around you, so he doesn't have a beer with him in sight.
  • Sodapop: Sodapop loves to wake you up early so you two can go out into the snow. You both clothe yourselves in heavy coats, boots, thickest pair of pants, turtleneck sweaters, and then you instantly plop down into the snow, soon making snow angels and snowmen. You both don't hesitate to throw some snowballs at each other, either.
  • Johnny: You just go out onto the porch and look at the snowflakes fall ever so gently. Johnny loved how the snowflakes would fall onto your hair and eyelashes. He loved how beautiful you looked, and he'd admire you until you dragged him outside to join you.
  • Ponyboy: Ponyboy didn't care if there was a huge snowfall outside. He would still take you to go out to the Nightly Double and watch a good movie. You loved it, because nobody else in Tulsa would dare to go outside in a huge snowstorm like those you two have been in.
  • Darry: You both would go sledding on the makeshift hill you two formed out of snow. Then, he brought Sodapop and Ponyboy out. The four of you split into two teams; the ultimate snowball fight would begin. Sodapop was on your team, and Pony was on Darry's. You and Sodapop would beat them every time, but Darry would claim that he let you win.
  • Steve: Steve would take you on a small joyride throughout Tulsa in one of the cars he was working on. He would open the windows, so the town could hear your screams and the snow falling would fill into the car. You both loved it, because you would feel so carefree together.

Preference #13: You're on your period.

  • Ponyboy: "You need what?!" He asked you for the tenth time, looking as if he had just seen someone throw up. You just sighed and shook your head, feeling really embarrassed. "Pony! I really need you to go to the drug store and buy me some pa-" "I heard you the first time! Jeez, I really don't understand girls." He mumbled, putting down his new book and leaving the house.
  • Dally: "I ain't doin' that!" He yelled, getting grossed out. "Dally, I am stuck in the bathroom and my underwear looks like the flag of Japan! Get me what I need or else you won't be getting any for a whole three months!" You hissed, hiding behind the bathroom door, but leaving enough space for you to reach your hand out and grab him by the collar for effect. That was enough to send him sprinting, because only you had the ability to scare him senseless.
  • Sodapop: You had bad cramps, but you were trying to hide the pain. That was until your boyfriend came to visit. You were in bed and watching cartoons, when the door bust open all of a sudden and Sodapop plopped onto your bed, his arm reached out to end up lazily on your waist, but instead it hit the source of your cramps. "Ow!" You groaned in pain. "Baby, what happened?! I hurt you?!" He said, freaking out already. You just looked at him. Then, his face had a look of realization. "Oh." He whispered, leaving of your bed and heading downstairs. He returned with ice cream, pain killers, and water. You had an awesome boyfriend.
  • Steve: Your boyfriend was fighting in a rumble right now, and you were home alone. You had everything you needed; pills, water, and your favorite snacks. Finally, Steve came back home with a black eye and a broken nose. "I hate gettin' broken noses, even if they make me look real tuff. You bleed so much 'cause of 'em, Jesus Christ." He groaned. You just stared at him with a blank face. "Oh, you're complainin' 'bout broken noses? You bleed a lot? Bleedin' must feel awful. Bleeding' is a horrible thing." You said, glaring at him. Right then and there, he got the message that he needed to shut up for a while.
  • Two-Bit: "No, Two, please don't- you're makin' me laugh! Stop!" You giggled, before trying to slap his arm away. You were torn between being angry at him or being kind to him. Two-Bit was tickling you, and he knew very well that Mother Nature left you a little gift. "Oh, c'mon, Y/N. Just have a little fun!" He laughed, his hands still trying to find your weak spot. "No, Keith! No!" You groaned, running to the bathroom. He was just laughing with tears in his eyes, he would have so much fun making you mad.
  • Johnny: "What?" He was looking at you with wide eyes. "I-is it contagious?" He asked you, debating on whether he should take steps closer to you or farther from you. You just giggled. "No, Johnnycake, it isn't. Why would it be?" "Well, how long d'you get it for?" He asked, still a little hesitant. "A week." You responded, getting a handful of chips. "How far are you?" "One day." You mumbled in confusion, and he instantly headed for the door. "You know I love you, darlin', but I ain't too good with girl stuff. See you in six days, princess!" He said, closing the door.
  • Darry: "Jesus Christ, Y/N, what's got you in such a bad mood?!" He asked, looking up at you in shock. You snapped at him for no reason, and you instantly felt bad for it. "I'm sorry, Dar." You whispered, looking down and shifting on your feet. "Tell me what's wrong, darlin'." He said, standing up to hug you. "I can't." You said. "Why not?" "I just can't." "I don't believe you." He said, looking into your eyes. "Tell me." He whined, making you shake your head. "It's a little personal, 'kay?" "Oh." He said, not asking anything else. He just lifted you up into his arms, and brought you to your room. He placed you gently in the bed, and got into bed next to you, kissing your cheek.
