Yeah, Yeah, Yeah- it's a bit short- please no flames!
All four of us crawled into the gazebo, there was a roof, and it was enclosed- unless you opened the door. The only light we had was the lantern. Johnny yawned and fell asleep. "Is she okay?" asked Sodapop. "No…She's really scared," I replied. "No…She's really scared," I replied. She took a deep breath. "I won't be scared, I won't be scared, I won't be scared, I won't be scared," she said redundantly.
I put an arm around Stardrop, "It's okay to be scared." She looked at me, "Yeah but I don't want to be scared of a noise! It's stupid!" Sodapop went over to the other side of her. "Don't worry- Pony's right here, and me and Johnnycakes are here for ya' too!" He said. She rested her head on my shoulder. BOOM! CRASH! She jumped. "It's okay, Star, Sodapop- go see what's going on!" I said. "Why me?" I gave him a look and he opened the door.
"Umm… Pony… You may wanna come see this…" he said. I got up, and Stardrop followed. We had to hold on the door frame so the wind didn't knock us over. Stardrop almost fell, but yay for her, I was there! By this time Johnny was awake and Star was crying. Great. We're stuck in a tiny gazebo, in the middle of the woods, during a tornado. Can't get any better than that… We all sat back down, afraid. For some reason I got up, grabbed Star's hand and moved to the other side next to Johnny. Just as she sat down, BOOM! The door ripped off the hinges and landed in the spot Star was just sitting in. Everyone got huge eyes and looked at me.
"What?" I asked. Johnny answered real low, "Pony, I think there's an angel." Star and Sodapop nodded in agreement. Wind started ripping through the gazebo ad whipping around the lantern. Stardrop held my hand tighter than ever, "I'm scared Ponyboy." I tightened my hand around hers- but not too tight. She hugged me and put her head on my shoulder. "I love you," I whispered so only she could hear. "I love you, too."
Soon all went quiet. I loked up and saw the lantern- the little scrawny thing with holes all over it- was STILL lit up. But… It seem… Brighter. Sodapop looked out the door. "Wow…Nothing…" he said. "I told you this place was magical," said Star. I could hardly see two feet in front of me- but I knew Star was still crying a little. We stood up and I kissed her once more. When we parted she hugged me, "Thank you for being here, Ponyboy." I kissed the top of her head. "I'm always gonna be here for ya,"
