This is the Sequel to A Brother's Trouble's. It will focus more on the relationship of Ponyboy and Courtney. Hope you enjoy it

It was mid June and the Tulsa sun was just beaming down. It was a very hot day for summer. Kids were playing out in the sprinkler some people were taking walks on the sidewalk and then we come to the house of Ponyboy Curtis where he is sitting and talking with his girlfriend of two years Courtney Brown.

"So, what do you want to go out and do tonight?" Pony asked putting his arm around Courtney.

"I don't know maybe we can go eat at the Dingo and then go to the Nightly Double and watch that new movie that just came out with Paul Newman, I know how much you like him." Courtney said smiling at him.

"Sounds like a plan." Ponyboy said smiling and Courtney leaned in and kissed him.

"I gotta go home now." Ponyboy grabbed Courtney and kissed her back. "You want me to drive you home?"

"Yes, I know how much you like driving in that new car of yours."

"That is true." Ponyboy said laughing as he and Courtney got into the car and drove off toward her house.

A couple of weeks back Ponyboy had gotten his license and on his sixteenth birthday Darry and Soda surprised him with a car of his very own. Pony was in utter shock.

"Darry how on earth did you and Soda get this car? I can't take this I don't deserve it."

"Pony, don't be silly you do deserve this. We are so very proud of you, you just don't know." Darry said smiling and giving him a hug.

"I don't know what to say." Ponyboy said

"Don't say anything little brother just drive." Soda said giving him his famous grin as he threw him the keys.

While they were in the car Courtney noticed Pony was smiling and lost in thought. She smiled as she remembered what he was thinking about.

"Thinking about when your brothers got you this car for your birthday. Huh Pony?" Courtney said looking at him.

"Yeah, I am I still can't believe they got me this." Ponyboy said as he snapped out of his trance.

"I know why they got it for you?" Courtney said.

"Why's that?" Ponyboy asked as they pulled up in front of Courtney's house.

"Well, because you are their brother and they love and care about you that's why." Courtney said giving him another kiss.

After the kiss ended Pony grabbed Courtney's hands and looked deep in her eyes. "Do you know who I love more than anything in this world?"

"Who?" Courtney asked even though she knew the answer.

"You. Ponyboy said before pulling her into another gentle kiss.

"Do you know who I love with all my heart"? Courtney asked.

"Who.?" Pony asked looking into her eyes.

"A certain guy sitting next to me who just so happens to be named Ponyboy Curtis." Courtney said giggling. They kissed for what seemed like an eternity until Courtney finally got out of the car.

"I love you I'll see you tonight around eight." Courtney said smiling.

"I'll be waiting I love you so much." Ponyboy said smiling. Courtney smiled back and blew him a kiss before going into the house. Ponyboy drove away with a smile on his face that wouldn't go way and he didn't want it to either. So he finally understood what love was like. He understood how Soda felt when he was around Sandy, the love in his heart he had for her. The only difference between Courtney and Sandy was that Ponyboy knew that Courtney loved him he didn't have to question it. He only hoped his brother would find someone he loved that loved him back he wanted the same for Darry.

As he drove home he thought of how much his life had changed in over the past two years. He was still getting good grades in school and his brothers were getting along really well these days. Darry had gotten a promotion in the fall of that year which meant he was making a little extra money he got the bills paid off and had some left over where they managed to get their house fixed up a little. Soda was still happy go lucky at the age of eighteen. He still worked at the DX with Steve and went out on dates occasionally but he still thought about Sandy.

As for Two-Bit and Steve they were still the same. Pony reflected on his own life he had a job at a local grocery store working for this nice old man. He had gotten last summer. He liked having a job very much. Him and Courtney were very much in love he liked the way his life was going. But the happiness would soon end as Pony was about to discover some shocking news that was going to change his life forever. He pulled up to the the curb by his house got out of the car and walked in. When he walked in he saw a look on his brothers that he would never forget.

"Guys what's wrong?" He asked with concern on his face as he shut the door. Darry just looked at him and Soda walked towards him. Pony looked down and there was a letter in his hand.

"Pone" Soda said putting his hand on his shoulder and sighing.

"Soda what is it."? Ponyboy asked looking straight into his brothers eyes.

"I've been drafted they want me to go to Vietnam as soon as possible." Soda said.

"WHAT?" Ponyboy shouted he felt like he was going to faint.
