… (Brief Recap) Bruce's smug demeanor seemed to increase. Silently he rose up his hand showing off what was on his wrist. Curly's eyebrows rose as he saw a green and blue striped wristband on him with the words "BE BRAVE" on it. He couldn't tell you why, but something vile rumbled through his chest as he saw this. "I win," Bruce declared laughing gleefully. (End Recap) (General POV) Adam stood in front of his friends clone confused. What does showing us some stupid wrist band have to do with "winning" Ponyboy? He couldn't really tell what Curly was thinking since he had his mask on once again but he just assumed that he didn't know what Bruce was talking about either. "What the hell are you talking about now clone boy?" Adam sighed wondering what this all was about. Bruce's started to snicker lightly annoying the both of them to know end. "I guess Ponyboy never told you about his childhood with me did he?" Now both Curly and Adam were confused. Giving each other a brief look they cut back to Bruce and what he was saying. "I was always there for him as kid," Bruce puffed out his chest with a grin, "saving him from all types of assholes and jerks, kind of like you two." Suddenly it hit Adam, Bruce must be referring to the curly haired boy that Ponyboy was obsessed with. Bruce is trying to that say he's him? "There is no way," Adam shook his head in denial pointing at the curly haired country boy, "you are not that kid, that's Curly. "You live on a freaking farm, you couldn't have come here all those times Ponyboy was talking about." "You don't know that," Bruce told him with half lidded eyes, "I snuck out my farm all the time as a kid, how do you know that I didn't see Ponyboy on the way?" "Because…" Adam couldn't really figure out what to say to that. Bruce had a very good point, he could have just snuck out and protected Ponyboy and then snuck back home when he was done. Ponyboy never said that he saw the boy everyday or that he saw him at school so what he's saying could be true. However, it was still a fifty/fifty shot right now. "That doesn't change anything," Adam argued, "and you having that wristband doesn't change anything either, as long as Curly's memory is messed up there's still a chance." Adam quickly shut his mouth when Curly shot him a glare. He didn't mean to tell Bruce his business it just sort of slipped out. "Messed up memory?" Bruce repeated before letting out a small laugh, "Wow, I knew you were brain dead but that's just ridiculous." Curly directed all his attention at Bruce, giving him a stare that was full of such intensity that even Bruce's had to acknowledge some fear of it, though he didn't show it of course. "Look kiddies, I have the proof," Bruce showed off the wristband again, "and as long as I have this it is a guarantee that Ponyboy is going to fall for me. He'll forget all about you and just run straight-" Bruce's taunt was cut short as he was punched directly in the jaw. The blow was so vicious it caused him to fall right to the ground roughly colliding with the concert below him. With a fierce glare, Bruce looked up at the hood that hit him. Curly stood staring down at him a dark expression on his face, he looked as if he wanted to burrow right into Bruce's skull with his eyes. "You got some nerve buddy," Curly said quietly. Angrily, Bruce stood up swiftly back on his feet walking up to Curly confrontationally. Adam prepared himself for a fight but a gesture from Curly stopped him. Adam wondered what Curly was up to letting this guy get in his face like this, guess he'll just have to wait to find out. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" Bruce growled in his face, "If I wasn't on my way to see Ponyboy I would beat the hell out of you." "You really got some nerve," Curly repeated ignoring what Bruce had just said, "acting like you know Ponyboy." "I do know Ponyboy-" "You don't know shit about Ponyboy!" Curly shouted startling both Adam and Bruce into silence. "Do you really think this is going to make Ponyboy come to you," Curly gestured to the wristband Bruce was wearing in disgust, "Do you really think that he's that naïve and controllable? If you think that then you don't know him at all." Bruce silently looked back at him analyzing his curly haired look alike with a critical eye. He seemed to be paying attention to what Curly was saying, whether he was getting anything from has yet to be seen. "Ponyboy likes things to be solid and upfront," Curly elaborated, "the only reason he's still harping about those dumb memories because it gives him something to hold on to. Once we get together he can just hold onto that." Bruce snorted. "You're absolutely wrong, but then again I'm not that surprised. Ponyboy keeps these memories because he enthralled with me. He wants me to come and sweep him off his feet again." Curly face crunched up in disgust as he grunted at Bruce's absurd words. This guy was even more full of himself than him, which was say something. "And what makes you think that he'll get with you anyway," Bruce said with a taunting grin, "he didn't seem too keen on you the last time I talked to him." Curly inwardly winced at the remainder of his past actions. He couldn't let what this idiot says get to him, he's just trying to intimidate him and Curly doesn't bow down to intimidation techniques. "You can make as many theories as you want as to how Pony acts but at the end of the day it all comes down to being helpless and this," Bruce held up the wristband once again, "is going to help with that." "Being helpless?" Adam repeated getting pretty angry himself, although not as much as Curly who had his hands clenched at his sides. "Of course," Bruce nodded assuredly, "everybody knows Ponyboy's naïve, he needs someone to take care of him. This wristband is going to remind him that I'm always going to look after him and provide for him." "You're putting a whole lot on a couple memories and a stupid little wristband," Adam pointed out, "and what are you going to do if you're wrong." Bruce shrugged walking away from the two of them. "Thanks for the concern but I'm not wrong, Ponyboy is mine." "I kind feel sorry for the guy," Adam said as he watched Bruce walk away, "he really doesn't have a clue what he's getting into." "Let's go," Curly said with finality walking in the direction Bruce was going. "Where are we going?" Adam blinked at him in confusion but following his friend regardless. "Where do you think?" Curly said rolling his eyes at his friend's slowness. It took Adam a couple seconds to notice that they were on the path to Ponyboy's house. Bruce doesn't seem to want to waste any time with his "plan". "You're actually inviting me along with you?" Adam asked in amusement. "You're gonna follow me anyway," Curly replied with a roll of his eyes, "might as well invite you along." The trip to the Curtis residence was indeed a small one, Curly and Adam were able to get there with just about five minutes of walking. As soon as they came up to the house they immediately saw Bruce at the door, Curly didn't know why he didn't just walk in seeing as the Curtis always keep their front door open. However, as soon as Bruce was about to knock, the door hit him right in the face which caused him to fall down hard. Adam was holding his sides in laughter while Curly only had a smirk on his face which increased as he saw Ponyboy come out of the house and not noticing the curly haired boy on the ground. "Hi Adam," Ponyboy waved enthusiastically at his and Curly's mutual friend as he spotted him by his door. Spotting Curly however, the young greaser chose just to give him a hesitant wave which the curly haired hood returned with a nod. "You guys must have heard," Ponyboy said walking over to the two hoods assuming they had been walking past his house and not to his house. "Heard about what?" Adam snickered watching over Ponyboy's shoulder as Bruce struggled to get up after getting hit with the door. With an eager smile, Ponyboy pulled from behind him some kind of flyer. "Pete's Ice Cream Parlor is having a half off sale today," Ponyboy announced eagerly, "all ice cream is forty percent off!" "Really?" Adam asked with raised eyebrows because for a guy that sells some of the happiest food on earth, Pete is a pretty strict no nonsense guy. Ponyboy nodded eagerly. "I'm going over there to get some favorite types of ice cream. I'm gonna have it all." "So are we," Adam announced hitting Curly with his elbow as he gave him a confused look, "we were looking for some ice cream ourselves." Curly repressed the urge to shutter. He absolutely couldn't stand ice cream, actually he didn't like sweet things in general. However, if going to an ice cream parlor would score him time with Ponyboy he would go. "We should, um, go together?" Curly asked hesitantly wondering how Ponyboy would react to this. The hood was pleased to see Ponyboy nod his head politely at his request and even move a little closer to him. "Ponyboy," Bruce called out rubbing his sore head as he walked over to the young greaser. With a furrowed brow, Ponyboy turned and saw Bruce near his front door. With widened eyes he saw he that was hurt for some reason. "Bruce, what happened to you? Do you hit your head or something?" Ponyboy asked in concern for his friend. Snarling at the smirk Curly sent him, Bruce put on a mask of indifference and faced Ponyboy once again. "Uh yeah-" "You should come with us!" Ponyboy proclaimed happily. Curly silently groaned he should have known Ponyboy would do something like this. "Where?" Bruce asked curiously. "To the ice cream parlor," Ponyboy suggested, "it'll be fun and we're going to eat all the ice cream we can eat." "All of us?" Bruce rose an eyebrow looking over Ponyboy's should at Adam and Curly with a scowl. Ponyboy nodded looking back and forth between the three boys. "It'll give all of us the opportunity to spend some time together and maybe mend some of the patches between all of us." For once, Bruce and Curly were in sync with one another as they internally denied Ponyboy claim. However, they weren't about pass the opportunity to not only spend time with Ponyboy but also allow their look alike time with him. "Sure," Bruce nodded in agreement. "Alright then," Ponyboy smiled gleefully as he started to push the three teens down the road and into town. … Due to the smoldering heat, new discount, and great ice cream being sold, it was no surprise to anyone that Pete's was pack with people. There wasn't necessarily a line to get in but you could tell by looking in the windows that there was a large number of people there. "I hope we get a seat by a window," Ponyboy said still pushing the three of them. "You hope better we can get any kind of seat," Adam told him with a snort. Thankfully, they were able to get in Pete's fast enough and were in front of the cash register and ready to pay. "Table for four?" The Cashier asked politely. Due to their demeanors, she gave Adam and Curly wary looks which they only amplified by giving her rough looks. "Yes please," Ponyboy chirped getting out his wallet in order to pay. Sodapop had actually given him some money to enjoy himself for the both of them seeing as he couldn't come today because he had to work. "I'll pay Ponyboy," Bruce offered giving Curly a superior indicating that he knew that he couldn't do the same. "You'll pay for all of us?" Ponyboy gasped not knowing that Bruce could be so generous, "that's so nice Brucey!" "All of us?" Bruce squeaked thinking that he would only have to pay for Ponyboy and himself not the two hoods behind him! "But I thought-" "Thank you," Ponyboy interrupted what Bruce's was going to say as he hugged him fiercely. The curly haired boy gulped in shock blushing as he felt Ponyboy on him. He couldn't possibly say no now. This moment was the one and only time Curly actually looked amused to see Ponyboy hugging Bruce. That'll show him for trying to show off. "Yes, thank you Brucey," Curly said in a mocking voice accompanied by Adam's mischievous grin. Bruce sighed knowing that he didn't have much of a choice. After paying for all of them to get in, they were all shown to their seats which was a booth. Bruce tried to be the one sitting next to Ponyboy but he was accidentally/purposely tripped by Adam as he also pushed Curly to sit next said young greaser who was already in his seat. As Adam and a disgruntled Bruce sat on their side of the booth, Ponyboy and Curly shot each other shy looks. Whenever their eyes would meet they would immediately turn around, it was almost as if they had elementary school crushes on each other. The waitress came relatively quickly giving their menus and allowing them pick out what they wanted. "Everything looks so good," Ponyboy sighed with his mouth practically watering in sheer delight. Curly gazed at his menu for a brief second before setting down with a carelessly loud thump, an act that caught Ponyboy's attention. "You don't want anything?" Ponyboy asked him curiously. "I don't eat ice cream," Curly replied with a shrug. "But you have to eat some today," Ponyboy said practically whining, "we're poor and there's a discount, I think it's a law that we have to get something." Curly couldn't stop himself from chuckling in amusement. Ponyboy could always find something to make him laugh at. The waitress came and went, taking their orders and delivery them in a very orderly fashion. Adam and Bruce ordered some basic ice creams types while Ponyboy just had to get something special. "What the hell is that?" Curly asked looking over at Ponyboy's bowl, who was practically orgasming within the first bite, with raised eyebrows. "Hot brownie sundae (1)," Ponyboy answered happily with his mouth still full. He moved his spoon over to Curly's face. "Here, try it." "Pass," Curly turning away from him and taking as sip of his soda. "Please," Ponyboy begged giving Curly the dreaded puppy dog eyes, "just one little taste." Ignoring the smug look from Adam, Curly turned back to receive his punishment. He was surprised, and somewhat embarrassed, when Ponyboy put the spoon full of ice cream into his mouth and feed it to him. "How is it?" Ponyboy asked in a suddenly soft voice staring over at Curly. Curly slipped his mouth off of the spoon swallowing the frozen treat. The hood tried to hide the blush developing on his face. "It was good," Curly nodded keeping his head down. As Adam looked over at the two of them with a look of satisfaction, Bruce was silently seething. Ponyboy hadn't so much as looked in his direction since they sat down. All he's been doing is giving his attention to that despicable human being beside him. It was high time that he put his plan into action so he could get Ponyboy away from all this nonsense. Ponyboy reached give Curly another spoon full of his ice cream, this time actually giving him the spoon. However, as the young greaser went to hand it to Curly, his hand was suddenly smack away. "Hey," Ponyboy protested more out of shock than actually being hurt as he held his hand to his chest. "Oh, come on," Adam groaned liking that Ponyboy and Curly were actually starting to make some kind of progress. "What the hell you cloned freak?" Curly hissed glaring over at his look alike. Bruce didn't pay attention to anyone but Ponyboy as he looked the young greaser dead in his eyes. "I'm sorry Ponyboy, I just don't think you should hang out with someone like him," Bruce said giving Curly a brief glare before turning back to Ponyboy, "it's just that I've always been a little protective of you." "Always?" Ponyboy questioned in a small voice, "What do you-" It was then that Ponyboy noticed the wristband Bruce had on a blue wristband with green stripes with the words "BE BRAVE." "Bruce…" "I'm sorry for not telling you earlier," Bruce quickly apologized seemingly sincerely, "it's just that I didn't feel the need to tell you about this because I didn't want to scare you away or something." "Oh come off it," Adam rolled his eyes exasperatedly turning to a meek Ponyboy, "you can't believe anything this guy, says he a ridiculous liar." "That doesn't mean anything," Bruce argued back slamming his hand on the table, "you don't know who I was and you don't have any proof that I'm not the guy Ponyboy was around as I kid." As Adam and Bruce were arguing, Curly could see Ponyboy's expressions changing from confused to relieved and back again. The hood could see that the young greaser really needed some time to himself to think about things. Curly suddenly stood up, catching the attention of Bruce and Adam with this movement. "We're leaving," Curly ordered shooting a look at Ponyboy who just nodded in agreement and stood up beside him. Confused as to what was going on, Adam and Brue followed both Curly and Ponyboy as they went outside. "I need to go home," Ponyboy announced quietly with his eyes more at his feet than anything else. "But Ponyboy," Bruce said softly trying to grab the young greasers hand which was snatched away from his grasp. "Don't," Ponyboy turned and gave all of them a sorrowful look, "I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused. You all gave me a lot to think about." Without another word, Ponyboy ran off in the distance back to his house." "Ponyboy," Bruce shouted trying to get his attention once again. "I'm sorry," Ponyboy called back to them once again. Bruce had an extremely annoyed look on his face as he saw Ponyboy leave but it soon morphed in a smirk as he turned to his look alike. "It doesn't matter if he leaves now, he'll come back to me later," Bruce snorted walking past Adam and Curly bumping shoulders with them as he left, "just you wait and see." Adam looked as if he wanted to say something to that smug idiot but controlled himself in favor of look back at his friend who has been eerily quiet this whole time. "Curly?" The curly haired hood didn't say anything to his friend just opting to stare in the direction Ponyboy left in. …While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
