What do you see as the difference between leading leaders and leading followers?
There are four (4) groups surrounding leaders: Followers, Non-Followers, Outsiders, and Observers. Your question focuses on breaking down followers into five (5) categories: enthusiasts, visionaries, pragmatists, conservatives, and laggards. ("Crossing the Chasm", Geoffrey A. Moore) Based on the definition of leadership, "Guiding Intent with Integrity" there should be no difference in leading Leaders vs Followers. However, as described above, there are different types of followers, as well as three (3) additional groups, that require different types of handling.
The terms Scott mentioned: [accountability, empowerment, innovation, collaboration, trying and learning, straight communication, supporting intentions, [assessment], projection, and blame] concern integrity. And, he split them into two (2) groups based on proximity to the leader - closest and farthest.
Integrity's unwritten rule is called a, "Social Contract". The expectations that all parties have against each other. When unwritten it's "word of mouth" or an "Understanding". When written it's a contract.
Exceptions on outcomes, drives the group to accomplish something, or resolve a problem. The question now is, "How much have various individuals bought into this outcome?" The answer indicates their level of participation, motivation and excitement. Participation, motivation and excitement levels diminishes the farther from the leader.
In the five (5) groups of followers: enthusiasts, visionaries, pragmatists, conservatives, and laggards a pattern emerges around expectations and willingness to change. Enthusiasts and Visionaries look for new innovative ways to merge ideas and craft unique solutions to the "Human Condition" or Business Problem. Pragmatists want something that will give them a leg up. Conservatives don't care where the solution comes from, it's foot cream, any will do as long as it does the job. And, laggards, refuse to use new tools until it's so entrenched into society that they have no other choice.
Now we can measure the level of effort needed to interact with each group. Enthusiasts and Visionaries talk in broad terms, are excited and motivated about you're work, and in return excite and motivate you to continue researching bigger, better solutions. Pragmatists only believe what other pragmatists say, thus your conversation dynamic has to change. The amount of energy to convince someone to "Try the New" increases. Conservatives require your product to be main stream, mature and in full competition before they will look at it. This requires a tremendous amount of energy, which few entrepreneurs are capable of providing. And, there is no amount of energy that will move a laggard.
Each group assess change differently as well. This is based on their judgments triggered by beliefs "On how things should be". "Shared Visions" play an important rule in motivating followers. This is where followers migrate to non-followers and outsiders depending on whether or not they share your vision. Thus when employees can't see the vision, or understand how they are part of a larger whole, and are treated as a commodity (foot cream), they loose motivation, excitement, creativity, enthusiasm, and so on.
As such, when searching for the right people for the right roles, leaders are looking for excited people who can motivate others through a shared vision of a better world. Thus the mission of the organization is to achieve this vision, and it has to flow out from the Board down to every member in the organization.
Leaders Represent Followers to Non-Followers and Observers
One of the problems in leadership is the ability to represent their followers without being marginalized. In a corporate environment, this would look like, a leader representing his group as he reports to his superior. If the leader looses focus of the issues be dealt with - either through distraction, promotion, scope creep, or seduction - then the leaders ability to move both his superior and his followers lessons. Until the leader has no power what so ever because he is considered incapable by both his superior and his followers.
In essence, the leader has to remain independent of the issues in order to achieve the goals. And, the leader has to ask the followers the hard question, "What do WE need to change in order for us to get what we need?"
The problem is that the followers want everyone else to change, so that they can avoid the hardship of change. This however is unrealistic. In every piece of facilitation I perform, there is a point where the group has to acknowledge that: - they want something new, - they are getting something through their actions, and - they have to give up something to get what they want
Yes there is the emotional attachment to the familiar, but change requires leaders to think about new and creative ways to help people move from their current behavioral mind set to a new mindset, through a series of easy to follow steps.
For example, Steve Jobs held a belief that technology should help people do their work as a natural extension to their existing life. The iPhone was a natural extension to merging the Phone, PDA, iPod, Camera, and many other devices. Google Glass unfortunately was not a natural extension of a daily activity, and in fact got in the way of many people's ability to carry out their daily lives. However, while Google Glass may not have practical applications for the sited, it may hold many benefits for the blind.
This is how the issue remains center stage, while the leader represents the group of followers to the non-followers and observers to insure that their voice is heard, while holding the delicate balance of not becoming the issue.
I'd imagine Darrys room is his parents old one but he refuses to sleep in it so he just opts for his chair
I’m waiting for a crossover with Birkhoff and Pyro as the same person, or at least, cousins or twins.
But the same person ?! It would be soooo great !
counterpoint to that poll: what was your favorite assigned reading in high school??
HOLY HELL, there's still Outsiders fanfics!? I remember being obsessed back in '19...here I COME!!!!
hi! i literally adore your writing and i just saw you do those random outsider headcannons with the gang and i was literally laughing out loud in my global history class LMFAO. you’re insanely talented🫶🏻
i was wondering if you’d be open to making some headcannons of what it would be like to date two-bit or sodapop? preferably two, but either is okay 🩷 i hope this isn’t too bothersome!! have an amazing day or night love! 🫶🏻
OF COURSE SWEETHEART 💖 this is so sweet i giggled and twirled my hair thank u for requesting !!
TWO BIT MATHEWS
— your relationship is half based on love and half based on humor. i swear if you say ANYTHING he'll find a way to say something wise and you have to whack him in the head.
— if you tell him you love him he'll get all cocky about it but inside he just melts.
"aw? you love me? how sweet!" please knock him out.
— if you get two bit anything mickey mouse related, he'll be inlove with you forever. he'll look at it and back at you excitedly and carry you while swaying you side to side rapidly before he runs off happily.
if it's a toy he's going to play with it.
a shirt? he'll wear it along with his blue shirt.
a backpack? he'll wear it (not around the gang or socs though, he still needs to look tough!)
if you watch the show with him he'll get you both cereal and you'll watch it together for hours.
— he'll steal stuff and give them to you, saying they "reminded me of you". they'll also be quite expensive but he rips the price tag off sloppily. you cherish them and collect 'em like pokemons!
— he'd unironically ask you to key and mess up socs car with him. he'd ask you on a date and if you say yes, you'll find yourself in front of a socs car with a blade, spray paint, and rocks. you end up having alot of fun tho! (you guys set the car on fire by accident and had to flee the crime scene)
— if you spray paint something like "small dick!" on the car, two bit will take 10 minutes just to read it (it's okay we love himbos here), turn to you slowly, and be like
"how tf do you know they have a small dick??"
he'd pout and you have to sit him down and explain to him for 30 minutes you didn't actually have sex with them before.
he'll still be a bit pouty and now you're forced to play a video game with him until he smiles and tells you he wants to do something even more fun!
you both end up getting arrested
SODAPOP CURTIS
— he will 50% be listening to your rumbling. he's listening but not paying much attention because he's too busy admiring you. he just smiles and blushes trying to figure out how he pulled someone as sweet as you! if you tell him the same, it'll be a battle on who managed to pull who.
— he'll definitely describe to ponyboy how being in love with you feels like :) he'll go in full detail too and will talk about it for hours without notice until he turns to ponyboy with a giddy smile and notices he's asleep.
— you'll never be bored with soda! he's so full of energy, and you never know where's he's going to take you! (to prison)
if you're just as energized as him, he'll take you to places you've never been and u guys can be jumping up and down together <3
if you're more on the tired side, he'll be fine with that too. he'll stroke your hair while you sleep or rest, but just know he has to be watching tv or be entertained in some shape or form.
— he'll hold you like a husband holds a bride i swear. if you get hurt he'll pick you up and carry you. if you say you're tired he'll pick you up and carry you. if you do literally ANYTHING, he'll pick you up and carry you.
— he'll also sling you over his shoulder. doesn't matter your weight or height, he'll pick you up, fling you over his shoulder, and whistle a tune while carrying you wherever.
— helping with ponyboy's homework is so funny. the question will be "what's 5x3" and sodapop will say 8. you and pony look away hiding your laughter and sodapop has his hand on his chin, thinking hard. ponyboy would attempt to explain his homework to soda but soda will be busy thinking about what he's going to do tomorrow with you.
taglist : @via-252! i'm not sure if you wanted to be tagged haha but here!
a/n : please send me requests !! i write for practically any fandom, don't be afraid to ask :)
Hello, me again I'm not requesting wheatley (as much as I love him) i'm requesting some Steve Randle x any prns reader; maybe something with Steve and Y/N being friends but then sodapop comes around and kinda takes Steve away? I'm not very good at explaining things sorry (also can I be '🍨' anon?)
A/N: Sure!! I really like writing stuff but I never know how to end it so sorry if ending sucks.. Warnings: None I can think of, just swears
Summary: Steves your best friends but Soda's his.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~you and Steve have been friends since forever, maybe before you two could even talk; his Mom knew your Mom so you two got to spend time with each other a lot.... Until about 2nd grade and Steve met Sodapop. since then they were inseparable Now don't get me wrong you arn't very jealous...at least you tried not to be jealous.... Its just it got pretty annoying being the 3rd wheel take today for an instance. It was a nice cool october evening and you had an idea to go to the movies! excitedly you asked Steve if he wanted to come with and almost immediately.... He asked the question.... "Can soda also come?" "…W-well i was just thinking me and y-" you stopped as Steve gave you puppy dog and you let out a long sigh before looking down and kicking some gravel "Sure…Sodapop can come too…" "Awsome!" Steve says and immediately running into the DX to grab soda -At the movies- as you enter the theater the three of you take a seat in the back; Steve in the middle, Soda and you beside him. Soon the movie starts and it turns quiet only the occasional sound of a couple whispering to each other
The movie is just some cheesy action flick and halfway through Steve whispers something to soda and they both stand up to 'go to the bathroom' they never came back… you got concerned near the end of the movie and you stand up quietly to look for the two of them (mostly for Steve) you quickly find them leaning against a nearby wall taking drags they don't seem to notice you before you speak up "Hey, what's the big idea ditching me like that?" you ask kinda pissed while approaching the two of them they glance over at you. the smell of tobacco lingers in the air and they don't seem fazed they just left you in a theater alone.
but Steve just takes a long drag from his cigarette and exhales slowly, the smoke curling around him he rolls his eyes while saying "Relax, dude," he starts "We just needed some fresh air. Soda and I were getting bored anyway. This movie sucks ass." "But what about me?" you state pissed "What about you?" he repeats "You're fine!" Steve scoffs, flicking his cigarette butt to the ground. "You're not a little kid. You can handle being alone for a few minutes." "Its not just that…its-" you stop midway noticing steve isn't even listening so you just flip him off and run home feeling tears prick the corners of your eyes "What were you saying y/n-...y/n??" he asks looking around for you but you're long gone
and I mean long ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Hope you like it '🍨' Anon! I tried my best sorry if its short I legit cant write anything long

PONYBOY CURTIS
you had been talking about your next game for weeks, spending time at the ice hockey rink for hours on end for the past week or so
when the day finally came, darry and soda already had their schedules for work, both busy, so ponyboy volunteers to go to your game
at the game, pony is watching from the stands, hardly saying or making any noise besides the occasional cheer when your team makes a goal
as you have the puck, aiming towards the goal with your stick, getting ready to hit the puck when a player from the other team shoves you, causing you to fall to the ground and lose the puck
“motherfucker—“ you grumbled, standing back up and grabbing your stick as the couch waved his hands around, “time out!” blowing his whistle
“curtis, bench!” he commands gesturing to a spot meant for resting after getting hurt
you roll your eyes, skating over to the spot, pushing the door and sitting on the bench, you just began to feel the pain in your right side of your body
ponyboy walks over closer to you, yet still in the stands, asking, “looks like that guy hit you hard, you hurt?”
you look at him through the clear screen, replying, “my right side hurts… i’m guessin’ when i take off my gear, im gonna have fuckin’ bruises everywhere.”
“you’ll be okay,” he paused, trying to convince himself, “when are you gettin’ back in the game?”
as on que, your coach asks, “curtis! you good enough to get back in?” you stand back up and push the door open, nodding at his question and saying goodbye to your brother, skating onto the rink
pony does a sport too, he always feels disappointed when no one goes to watch him at his meets, he wants to feel supported
so he always goes to your games as he wants you to feel supported and loved
JOHNNY CADE
johnny knew you were excited for your hockey game that was coming up, so he decided to support you and go to your game
as he entered the building, he kept his head low because he had snuck in, not wanting anyone to notice
he glances to his left, spotting you, your teammates and the opposing team already on the rink
johnny smiles at you when you look to your right, seeing him sitting down at the stands, you wave at him before the referee calls for everyone to get in their positions
as you are all playing the game, he keeps quiet but his attention is fully on what is happening in front of him
skating to the opposing player with the puck, you take it and skate towards the goal when the opposing player puts their hands out, pushing you to the ground
“damn it…” you mumble, quickly standing up almost as fast as you were pushed to the ground
a goal was scored, so you stand in your place until you feel ready to travel over to your teammates
“y/n, are you hurt?” johnny asks, his voice cracking slightly as you skate over to the stands, both of you face to face but separated due to the dasher board
you shake your head although you are holding your shoulder in pain, apologizing as you had to go back to your team
he enjoys to go to your games because it helps him feel emotionally better, it forces him to interact with others and also puts him in a foreign environment
he just wants to support you too, he knows it was hard for you to not have your parents at the games and your brothers to not be available
he values your relationship and sees you as a little sister although you’re not blood related
SODAPOP CURTIS
your brother had taken a day off to watch your hockey game, as you had been talking about it for days
“you’re gonna do amazing, sis! when i’m older i’ll finally be able to say, ‘my sister’s a pro hockey player!” he exclaims, attempting to make you excited for your game
it works, you begin to jump around as you enter the building, soda following after you and patting your shoulder, waking to the stands
you change in the locker room, coming out in your gear
the game starts as you skate onto the rink, you and a player from the opposing team face off to get the puck
you gain the puck first, skating straight across to the goal when the same player from the opposing team hits your leg hard with the stick
soda furrows his eyebrows, a confused look on his face as he watches the scene unfold in front of him
the player pushes you to the wall as you yell, “you ain’t allowed to do that, jackass!” pain is felt all over your left side
the referee doesn’t notice, soda yells after you, “you okay, sis?” you reply by nodding and looking at him
your focus is brought back to the game when the same opposing player charges in your direction, the puck in his possession
you skate towards him then turn in his direction, both of you next to each other as you push him to the ground, hard
taking the puck and skating in the opposite direction, your brother cheers for you as you score a goal
after the game, your adrenaline wears off and you realize you’re in much more pain as you realize
the two of you drive home then you both sit on the couch, you lean into your brothers side as he rubs your left shoulder
you sigh, closing your eyes as he continues to ask you, “this hurt?” you shake your head before he reassures you that you’re okay
soda’s literally your hype man, he’s glad another person in the family is good at sports because he knows he isn’t
always tells you that you did amazing in your games and practices, doesn’t want you to feel insecure about it and truly believes you’re amazing at hockey
DARRY CURTIS
it was your first game without the whole family being able to go, so darry took the day off work to support you
he drove you to the rink, asking, “you excited for the game?” glancing at you for a brief second, his attention going back to the road
you shrug, replying, “i don’t know…” looking outside the window as you arrive at the building
the two of you get out of the car, walking towards the building as you move closer to your older brother, a bit nervous for your game
as you walk into the building, you see the rink and direct darry towards the stands, “i have to change. i’ll be wearing dark blue.”
once you are done changing in the locker room, you bring your skates over to the rink and tie them
after warming up with your team, the game begins, a player on your team has the puck and passes it to you
you skate to the goal, getting ready to hit the puck when you feel pressure on your stomach, as you look down, you see a player on the opposing team kicking you as they lose balance
rolling your eyes, you hit the puck into the goal as another player from the opposing team grabs your helmet, smashing your head against the wall
your head suddenly felt warm, like something was running down your face, you recognized it as blood
yelling is heard around you, feeling someone pulling you up and skating you to the edge of the rink, you feel arms around you and your vision is blurry
“y/n are you okay? you’re… bleeding, hey, does anyone have a first aid kit?” darry talks quietly before yelling to the referee
he walks you to the bench and sits you down, your ears ringing and you hardly have energy to keep your head up
you hear the referee coming over to you with a first aid kit, giving it to your older brother while he takes your helmet off and wipes up the blood on your forehead
the referee kneels down to your eyesight as you are looking down, telling you, “you’re real injured right now, i’ll give that sheldon boy a talking to. you go home and rest, it isn’t a problem. get better soon, okay, kid?” smiling at you and patting your shoulder before he leaves
once darry is done with wiping away the blood and making sure you feel okay, he asks, “you ready to go home, kid?”
it’s really rare for him to find time off from work, so if he goes to your games then you’re really happy
you remind him of himself when he would do football, his parents and brothers would watch his games and he would feel proud
so he tries to take time off to go to your games, loves to support you and make you feel happy when you see familiar faces in the stands
always tells you to do your best in the games, congratulating you after the games even if you didn’t do particularly well
DALLAS WINSTON
dally had offered to take you to your game, your brothers were all busy and he had nothing to do
as you skate onto the rink, dally yells after you, “kick their asses, kid!” sitting down and looking to his left, spotting a soda bottle along with a pack of cigarettes
the game starts and he grabs the cigarettes, placing them in his pocket and grabbing the soda, taking a drink of it
as he watches you pass the puck to others, the other team gains the puck, you chase after the player with the puck
he holds his stick in a position to hit the puck into the goal, as he swings, you happen to be right behind him, causing you to be hit in the face
dally yells, “hey, that little shit’s stick just fuckin’ whacked her in the face, man!” looking out for you, watching you put your hands over your face in pain
the referee calls, “penalty for high sticking! sheldon, you’re on the bench for two minutes! curtis,” he pauses, looking at you, “you feel good enough to play?”
you think before answering, “yeah!” taking your hands off your face, you turn your head towards dally
as you skate closer to the stands, he asks, “you okay, kid?” you nod at him, he continues, “hit ‘em back, hard.”
you smile and nod, beginning to skate back to your side of the rink, your friends swarming you and asking if you’re okay
dally knew his parents never gave a shit to be seen with him, so he wants you to feel cared for, he’s weirdly enough your chaperone even though he’s not responsible at all
if you ever want to practice but the rink is closed, he’ll probably find a way to break in so you can work on how you play
probably gets super pissed off when the opposing team scores for no reason even if they actually deserved it
TWO-BIT MATHEWS
two-bit and his younger sister decided to support you at your hockey game
you were already playing, keith and his sister found a spot to sit in the stands
you glance over to the stands, spotting two-bit and his sister watching you, you wave and smile at the both of them, directing your attention back to the puck
as your teammate passes the puck to you, you begin to skate towards the goal, preparing to hit the puck
right as soon as you hit the puck, a player from the opposing team shoved you into the wall, chasing after the puck and therefore preventing your team from scoring
pain shoots up your back, you would for sure have bruises all over once you got your armor off
two-bit’s sister gasps behind you, “y/n! are you okay?” concerned looks on her and her brothers faces
“yeah!” you yell back, glancing at the both of them for a brief moment, skating quickly in the direction of the puck
“y/n!” your teammate says, grabbing your attention and passing the puck to you
you skate across the rink, aiming the puck into the goal and succeeding, your teammates cheering for you
standing where you hit the puck, you try to rub your back to ease the pain, failing because of the thick layers of gear
your whole team is already grouped up when one of them turns their head, skating over to you and asking if you’re okay
staring at the ground, you whimper in pain, trying to rub your back again, two-bit noticing and asking, “y/n, you terribly hurt?”
you look at him, still standing with your teammate as the referee orders, “curtis, bench! doesn’t look like you’re feeling good enough to play!”
as you get escorted to the bench by your teammate, the player who hits you skates by the stands
“hey, way to go fuck face!” two-bit yells at him, making you turn your head and laugh gently
cares about you as he cares about his little sister, he goes to all of her school events as he goes to yours and your hockey games
sometimes he’ll just go because he loves seeing the smile on you and his sisters faces when you see each other, her running up to you after your game although you’re sweaty and tired
STEVE RANDLE
steve took the day off work to watch your hockey game, you had previously told him which position you would play as, the goalie
he glances to the left of the rink, seeing you with more gear on than the other players and a different stick
he watches the opposing team, switching his attention from you and them constantly
a player from the other team has the puck, skating to where you are, attempting to score a goal
the player hasn’t slow down fast enough, hitting the puck and also throwing himself onto you in the process
both of you were on the ground, you push him off and groan, your whole body hurting
“y/n, you good?!” steve yells, you shake your head as your body aches, he stands up as your teammates skate over to you, creating a circle around you
two of them grab your hands, directing you to the bench where you are to sit and rest, as you are injured
you call out, “steve?” you look around to find him, he moves near the bench yet still in the stands
“hey, you okay kid? looks like that guy hit you pretty hard.” he asks, concerned for you and your health, wanting you to check yourself for bruises or cuts
you breathe unevenly, “my ribs hurt.” straightening out your back and trying to relax, to try making your front feel better
“you’ll be alright,” he paused, glancing over to you once again to see you calming down, “how ‘bout i take you to get ice cream after this?”
you look over to him and smile, seeing concern and worry in his eyes, nodding as your referee calls, “curtis! you’re back in!”
as you are skating back onto the rink, steve comments, “take it easy, kid. don’t wanna have to call darry.”
he goes to your games because he knows you like to have someone there to support you, so you know he cares
steve normally doesn’t care so much about about things, rather nonchalant but cares about you as if you were his sister
he’ll be the most obnoxious person ever in the stands, yelling and screaming over everyone else
Reflections on I Peter 4
Dude image darry teaching the boys how to do gymnastics I mean image how funny that would be "No Steve you hands go first in cartwheel no your feet"
"PONYBOY NO YOUR GOING TO BREAK THE VASE"
Guys hear me out Image if the boys were coaches on a little league baseball team
Dally is flirting with everyone mom if your on the team he is flirting with your mom when facing any soc team he will find out ever name of Mom,Sister,Grandma and Aunt and tell the players the names and will start chants and watches how to makes the other teams players so confused
Darry Is def one of those that takes it a little to seriously but at the same time after the game he brings some chocolate cake for the kids and juice boxes
Ponyboy is the coach that usually comes up with the most random things to do at Practice like he having do some drills "alright everyone I came up with a new drill to do this one is called-"
Steve Randle is the coach that doesn't care if the team wins or loses he just wants the kids to have fun and in the dugout he will rant about cars during any part of the game he brings the kids slushies form the dx station sometimes
Sodapop Is the sweetest coach ever always give pep talks before the care just like Steve he doesn't care if they win or lose "Just go out their and give it your all!"
Johnny Is also a really sweet coach and sometimes gives the kids candy after games "Now don't tell your moms this but.. I got you all blow pops" he is the coach that will always talk about his team and how good the kids are "Oh Timmy is just such a Well behaved boy"
Two-Bit He is almost just like and wants his team to win and sometimes he tries to tell the kids to go steal something form the other team, "Okay now Eric you sneak into that dugout and take the eye sore of an bat form that Ginger kid" Still after the games he brings the kid some candy and bubble gum
I need help choosing what to write so here's a poll! (help sorry had to add to the poll! I came up with more ideas!!)
How they would ask you to prom!
WARNING BAD PICKUP PROM LINES (the gangs lines are in bold!)
WARNING BAD SPELLING WARNING BAD WORDS!
Also I'll do part 2 with the Shepards+ the some of the socs tomorrow
Darry
You were getting ready to cheer for the football game it was about 2 weeks before prom then darry tapped you on the shoulder
"hey y/n"
"hey what's up?"
"wanna tackle prom with me?"
Y/n laughed a tiny bit
"yes dar I will go to prom with you"
"oh thank gosh Oh uh I got you flower by the way! oh and those candies you told me about!"
he was def stressing since he needed it be prefect (sodapop gave him the pick up line)
He spent at least 30 minutes trying to pick out the best flowers
Sodapop
(just image he didn't drop for the plot please 😭)
Him and Steve definitely practiced for hours
"hey uh will you uh"
"dang it soda! get your head in the game she ain't go with you if don't act with bravery!"
"Oh shut your trap Steve you ain't got no date at all"
"hey!"
-⛸-Later-⛸-
"hey Y/n wait up!"
soda walked up to as you were getting ready to get in your car
"oh hey soda whats up?"
Y/n smiled at him and he took a deep breath
"You know since your such a bright star maybe you should light up my night at prom?"
"Oh sure soda! I'd love to go to prom with you!"
Soda flashed his a million dollar smile
"well great! can't wait to see your dress I bet it'll look great on you"
"awe thank you soda! You'll look great too now see ya!"
"yeah,yeah see ya!"
-⛸-Later-⛸-
"Yo dude she said yes!"
"hell yeah man!"
add in high five
Ponyboy
He went to darry to ask for some advice since he didn't know what to do at all
"hey dar.."
"yeah pony whats up?"
"I wanna uh ask out this girl to prom but I don't know how... can you help me..?"
"oh yeahs sure ponyboy I forgot it was prom season"
Darry gave him the run down about flowers,what candies to get and maybe a little extra gift
-⛸-Later-⛸-
You were at the park watching the sunset and ponyboy taped your arm
"hm? oh hey pony oh whats with the flowers?"
"oh uhmm I got these before since I wanted to ask you something.."
"yeah what is it..?"
"I think it'd be a real page turner if we went to prom..?'
"I loved to go to prom with you pony!" *y/n smiled*
"Oh uhm I got you that book you were talking about"
"thank you pony boy I love it"
He was screaming in his pillow because he said the pick up two bit told him and two-bit started to laugh his ass off when he found out pony said the pick up line
Dallas
Now did he have almost all the girls in Tulsa wanting him yeah? but he'd got bored of most of most of them and thought he'd try this prom date thing.. and he wanted to at least do I good so he bought (stole) you a pack of cigarettes and some cd he was pretty sure you liked and wrote on the inside of the cigarette box to ask you (a lot of effort for dally)
-⛸-Later-⛸-
You and him were at a rodeo and he thought he'd get over with and ask you
"Hey Y/n"
"Yeah dal whats up?"
*Dallas handed you pack of cigarettes and the cd*
"oh thanks dal! but it ain't my birthday yet..?"
"just look inside the cig box!"
