Pony's POV
It's been six moths since Johnny and Dallas's death and things have been going good. I was still getting strait A's and was champion on the track team. Darry's boss said he was doing such a good job next school year he can go to a community collage. Darry's thinks he'll most likely study medicine and become a doctor. Sodapop is going to start night school at the beginning of the next school year. Him and Steve. They'll both go to a community collage and study auto mechanics. Steve doesn't treat me as if I'm a tagalong anymore. He even invites me to places from time to time. Two-Bit sort of tries hard in school. Not that hard. Just really enough to get by. Cherry Valence and I hang out a lot more. Her parents don't seem to mind. They like me. Mostly because I get strait A's and I saved those kids in the burning church. But the gang will never be the same without Johnny and Dally. Darry, Soda, and me were walking home when were saw five Soc'es beating up some girl. She looked like a Greaser. She was beating them real good but there was just too many of them.
"We have to help her," said Soda.
I went and talked one of them. Darry was beating the tar out of another. And Soda was punching one real good. They eventually ran off. Two-Bit and Steve saw what happened and came running over. The girl was wearing a black t-shirt with jeans with holes in the knees and was wearing sneakers. She had light brown hair and gray eyes. She was starting to get a black eye on her right eye and there was a cut that started forming a bruise around it. There was a backpack not to far from her.
"You alright kid," Soda asked.
"I'm fine. Thanks for helping me. My names Ponygirl Curtis. And yes it's my real name. Its on my birth certificate."
"Your last name is Curtis," Darry asked.
"Yeah. I've been walking for three hour from the town a tiny bit far from here. Not Windrexvill the town in the opposite direction. I'm here looking for my brothers Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy."
"I'm sorry but we don't have a sister. Me, Sodapop, and Ponyboy."
"Wait Darry remember that note we found last night," Soda said.
I remembered last night to.
Last night
I was reading a book and Darry was reading the newspaper. Soda was looking for the photo album and when he came back he had a shocked look on his face.
"You okay little buddy," Darry asked.
"Your both not going to believe this."
In his hand there was a piece of paper. Darry opened it. It had mom's handwriting. It was dated a little bit after I was born.
Dear boys,
I don't know were we'll be when you read this but there is something you should know.
We didn't tell you earlier because you were too young to understand.
You have a younger sister. Her name is Ponygirl. The reason she doesn't live with us is because we can afford a new baby right now. I was away at your aunt Anne's while I was pregnant with her. She'll be living with your aunt until we can afford to take care of her.
Your aunt and me keep in touch and if anything were to happen to your father and me the state will let them know. I hope you boys understand.
Love,
Mom
We were in shock. We had a sister.
"I also found this," Soda said handing the picture frame to Darry. It was a birth certificate. The name on it was Ponygirl Curtis. We understood why mom and dad kept this secret. We couldn't believe we had a sister.
Present Time
"So you are our sister," Darry asked. She nodded with a smile on her face. Darry, Soda, Ponygirl, and me all got in one big group hug.
"Even if we just found out last night you existed I can't believe we finally get to meet you."
After we stopped hugging Darry Looked horrified.
"Your cheek is bleeding bad. We need to take you to a doctor."
Darry, Ponygirl, and me were in Darry's car and Two-Bit, Steve, and Soda in Two-Bits car. The hospital wasn't very far. We were able to see a doctor right away.
"Its not that bad," the doctor said. "But she'll have to keep it covered for a while and clean it with this disinfected."
He gave us the prescription and put a banged band-aid on her cut. We got in the cars. Darry, Ponygirl and me were going to get the disinfected while the others were going back to our house. We were now a happy family with our sister who we never new existed till now.
