[| Kristina |]

A teenager girl, of average height, stood off to the side, leaning against the fence railing. Her green eyes watching with interest as a large black bull whirled around the ring, bucking crazily, in attempt to dismount his rider. With a sharp turn to the left, the rider went flying, landing hard in the dirt ground, and the bull raced around, searching for a way out.

The last time Kristina had been to a rodeo, she had been a small girl, and had only a few memories of it, like when she cried during the calf roping. Now she watched the scene, with much interest, getting a few shrills down her spin whenever a bronc, or bull, busted out of the gate, with fire in their eyes. Sighing softly, she looked around, seeing many people, but none that really struck her as that familiar.

Darrell walked over to the side as he looked out into the ring, he smiled. as he remeber when soda was out their. Nope not any more, he was glad to get away from work today nomral he would stay home and make sure pony was stay out toruble. He blinked as he looked over at the young gril, thier where so many new people around. he shurged as he moved his hand throw his brown hair, he was the oldes of the three brother. he had on a black shirt with the sleves cut off and blue jeans. he high shcool he was a football player so manything he didn't get to do, he shook his head.

As Kristina looked around she saw the guy, and he seemed some what familiar, but she knew she had never met him before. He seemed to be alone, like herself, so she walked over to him. "Looks like that guy took a hard fall." she commented, standing by his side, and he had, she had heard him hit the ground. Extending a hand toward him, with a smile on her face, she introduced herself, "I'm Kristina by the way."

Darrell looked at the girl, he smirked and nodded “yea, he was good too” he looked at her as he she Extending her hand he smiled and took her hand “ nice to meet Kristina Darrel be everyone around here call me Darry." He said as he led some as he looked into the ring as he waited on the next rider. He looked at her “I betting you know my brothers?” he said as he looked at her as he grinned some as he moved his hand in his brown hair.

[| Kristina |]

She nodded slightly, "Nice to meet you too." she said, giving him a quizzical look as he said his name. Hmm, where had he heard his name before? Hadn't Ponyboy said he had a brother named Darry? The one he claimed didn't care about him? When he asked her if she knew his brother's she, nodded her head, a smile displayed on her face, "Yea, I know one, Ponyboy right?" she said, hoping that he was Ponyboy's brother, so she wouldn't look so much of an idiot.

[everdoghashisday]

Darrell nodded as he looked at her, “Yea ponyboy, he the youngest out of three” he looked at her. Trying to thinking about the entire thing pony may have said. He sighed ponyboy didn’t understand, it was not the same as it was. Back went mom and dad where alive it was fun. Now it has all changed he moved his hand over his face as he looked at Kristina not really know what to say “he a good kid, just get in trouble a lot” he said as he looked out a ring, as they where calling out a new rider.

[| Kristina |]

She smiled, looking back to the ring, flinching slightly as the gate flew open and another bull burt into the ring, even more frantic then the last. "Yea he's cool." she said, glancing over to him. "So you're in charge of Pony and the other one, Soda isn't it?" she asked, she hadn't met Soda before but she had heard plenty about him from Pony.

[everdoghashisday]

Darrell looked at the ring, " In charge well i would not put it that way i am the oldest, so i have to look out for both of them some time Yea Sodapop," he glanced at her as he smiled " I work two jobs any then i try to look out for ponyboy," he shaked his head as he looked at the rider as he was just hanging on then he fell to the ground. The bull was runing around crazy like " i have not been to a Rodeo in a long time"

[| Kristina |]

She looked over to him, "Must be tough." she said. No doubt about it, that it wouldn't be tough, with all the responsability on one person's shoulders. "Neither have I, not since I was real young." she said, with a smile.

[everdoghashisday]

He nodded as he stood up and looked at her " yea if only pony could see what i do for him" he shook his head and then smiled " same here i have not been here in so long." he closed his brown eyes as he sighed. As he looked around as he saw some horse and then looked at her as he smiled

[| Kristina |]

"I'm sure he knows, no matter how much he won't admit it." she said softly, not sure that what she said was true. She had listened to him talk about Darry, and even though she hadn't known him at the time, she was sure that Darry wasn't like that, but he wouldn't here it. He'd realize it soon enough though. "Did you ever ride the bulls or broncs?" she asked.

[everdoghashisday]

He smiled " i think you right" he moved his hand throw his hair and looked at him, he shook his head " no soda did, for a long time but he stopped" he looked at the girl and then smiled " I am glad pony has a friend like you" he said as he moved his hands in his pockets and then looks down at his feet and then back at the ring.

[| Kristina |]

She grinned, looking over to him, "Pony's a real cool kid, he was the first person I met here." she said, looking back at the ring. Sighing softly she looked back at Darry, "I think I'm gonna go to the venders to get somethin to eat, you wanna come, or want me to get you anything?" she asked, pulling her wavey honey hued hair over her shoulder.

OOC: Eek, sorry muse is low

[everdoghashisday]

He smiled and looked at her as she spoke of his kid brother, he looked out into the ring as she spoke agian " I am fine but i walk with you never know when the socs are around" he said with a smile.

occ: know how you feel

[| Kristina |]

She smiled, glancing out to the ring one last time before walking toward the vendors. He was right, those Socs always popped out of nowhere. "Thanks." she said with a smile, looking up at him before looking toward the venders, seeing what sold what, and deciding what she was to purchase.
