Hey guys, I was planning on writing a few epilogs and randomness. And I was honestly really sad to see this story go, so I planned on adding on making this a sequel story. No matter what It shall never die! I may not own the outsiders but I do own this story and the randomness.
Living in the past (epilog 1): Love like the visible wind.
Two-bits P.O.V
Life just went on without Ember, things slowly started goin back to normal after she left Tusla. I wouldn't blame her parents though, seeing your daughter with seven "hoods" in a beat up ol' neighborhood like ours would make you move far away. No one really changed, I never stopped cracking jokes, Steve and Soda went to work and wrestled when they came home. Darry told Pony to do whatever, Johnny was a little quiet again, Dal and I always fought over the t.v. Things weren't any different it just felt like something or someone was missing. A crazy psychopath like girly piece of us was missin. But that one day when the Curtis's new neighbor moved in, we felt sad with the feeling like that poor new kid not knowing that their lives are just going down hill and all the downsides of being a greaser. But when that moving van parked itself by the drive-way (since it was a few days until it showed up.) we couldn't help ourselves and just take a peek out of the window. Boxes taking over the faces and any details of that. All Soda did was just stare.
"Soda you're gonna make 'em think we're creepers or somethin if you keep starin at the house like that." Darry said handing cake over to him.
"Can we go meet 'em already? I think they're vampires or somethin."
"Sodapop Patrick what on earth would make you think that?"
"The doors and windows always shut, never see a light or nothin. Only in one room but at night. " he explains with chocolate in his hair. I turn my attention from the second hottest guy in this world and look in a mirror fixing my hair a little looking at the worlds hottest dude me, moi, yo. Then I hear the most familiar sound ever.
Mickey Mouse.
And to the television I go but I quickly grab a beer and the who cake and help myself to it. The door slammed on its own making Johnny-cakes appear from it.
"Hey Johnny-cakes want some cake?" I offer up. He looks at me does an eyebrow trick I showed him and Pony a while back and shakes his head no.
"Well." I act pretending to be hurt.
Soda's P.O.V
The night before I couldn't sleep much. No not because of Pony's snoring. Alright fine maybe because of that, but mostly I couldn't stop thinking about that one dream I had having my hamster adventure and Steve tied to the pole by his undies right after he was transformed from a adorable little girl to himself. But that wasn't keeping me up either. The smell of chocolate. I swear I heard the cake whispering in my ear saying
"Eat me Soda buddy, we both know you want to. Forget about the hamster adventures you can have one after you eat me." I don't know if it was a dream or not. I honestly think it floated in my room next to me. But I was awakened by my chocolate thoughts with Darry shovin cake in my face. Which I gladly took, but something felt wrong. Like someone was missing. A sad tall little teenage girl who's hair was some what blue and had food fights with. I can't place a narwhal on it, since I don't have a narwhal but if I did we could have narwhal adventures instead of hamster adventures and Pony and Johnny will be my servants. We all watch as the moving truck is unloaded, and I gotta meet the new neighbors. They haven't been out in days. But when that truck pulled up, a golden opportunity came to me.
"Hey Steve I think we should help our new neighbors." I wink at him and he understands.
"Yes, Soda buddy. Indeed we should go help, but it would be rude if Darry and Pony don't go and introduce themselves."
"It would also be rude if the rest of us don't come and help as well." Two-bit adds. We all look at Darry pleading.
"Alright go, I'll be out in a few seconds" Pony was itchin to do this ever since they first pulled up to the house. We were all rushing to go meet the new comers and Pony was already heading to the door. We heard a little knock at the door. Since Pone was already there he answered it, we couldn't see the person at the door. Only hands and what looks like a cake. YES since Two-bit is already finishing our cake we only icing it about yesterday. Being very curious at my younger brother and what it seems like he's just staring at the kid. Must be a girl, aw little bro already has a crush, I'm finally rubbing off of him. I had to see his "smooth moves" and I decide to introduce myself. After walking up to the two, my jaw drops and finally turns into a smile. We just stand there all smiling until Darry comes up asking
"Who's at the door?" But he comes up behind me and so does the gang and after the long silence Pony's voice comes out
"Come on in." and we let her in with the cake. As he turns around to face her he says
"I'm Ponyboy Curtis. Welcome to the neighborhood and to the family." From what happened then Johnny stood up walked over to our new friend and they kissed. Everyone full of shock, except Dally, he just smiled giving him a thumbs up. I looked at him and mouthed
"When did they kiss?"
he replies with three words.
"Beach and fireworks." I nod.
I always knew Johnny would catch loves growing Embers. After they part Ember gives him a small confused look with a warm smile.
"Is that how you guys say hello around here?" She asks innocently. Two-bit and Steve quickly stand up almost knocking the chairs over
"YES!" they say in unison. Johnny has a worried look on his face and Dally goes up to the two and smacks each boy on the head murmuring idiot. Pony and I look at each other.
"Ember how'd you get back here, we thought you moved away after the talent show." Pony asks.
"What talent show? I just moved here from New Jersey." Darry, Steve and Two-bit welcome her in acting like nothing happened the rest of us just stare at each other with question.
"You don't remember do you?" I ask murmuring to Steve
"Remember her? She just moved here buddy, you probably saw her around or somethin." He says walking away. What happens next grabs my attention.
"You know you guys look awfully familiar, I know I've seen you all somewhere. I just can't put my finger on it."
