Okay, so I recently wrote a companion to "Mr. Dating Machine" called "Out Tonight". They really don't have much to do with each other, though, so you don't have to read one before the other.

So, the brief summary: Ponyboy's going on his first date and Two-Bit and Steve decide that this is a perfect opportunity for their own entertainment purposes.

Out Tonight

In reviews, I'm mostly looking for feedback on characterization :) See if you can spot the cameo with Mel and I, too.

Quotes to Live By:
Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that ass upside the head.

He who stands on a windowsill to see how far out he can lean without falling is a moron.

If you wish on a falling star it might come true... Unless it's a meteor hurdling to earth... Then no wishes come true... Unless your wish was to be killed a meteor hurdling to earth.

I reviewed, but it was a really sucky review. Sorry.

I enjoyed the fic, though. =)

That's good ^_^ It was ten million times harder to write than "Mr. Dating Machine" and I'm still not quite sure why. -shrugs-

Thanks for your review though. It seemed good to me lol. I was excited when you pointed out the name thing because that was one of those Mary-Sue traps that I really worked hard to avoid with Patricia.

The follow-up's always harder, I think.

I just hate leaving short reviews; I'm a rambler. Unfortunately, my brain still feels like it's fried and for some reason I'm still staring at a computer screen. I picked the wrong day to leave three reviews, I guess lol. And yeah, I did the same thing with my first OFC. The names get easier, I promise.
