Two-Bit just shrugged and got to his feet to look around. Ponyboy always left books around the house, even though Darry had told him to clean up, so Two-bit was bound to find one. He searched the living room finding a few books in a few books in a few random places, but none of them seemed to interest him. They all just seemed boring to him. Two-bit didn't understand how Pony could read books like that. He was about to give up and just sit in front of the Television and wait for us electricity to turn back on, when a few pieces of notebook paper caught his eye. It was sitting on the windowstill, and Two-bit reached out to grab it.
His eyes scanned the first couple lines and a slight smirk grew across his face. He couldn't believe what he had found.
"Hey guys!" Two-bit called. "Look what I found." He sang it loudly like a kindergartener, and then he waved the paper in front of himself, holding the front facing everyone else. Soda, Steve, Darry all looked up as Two-bit spoke to them.
Soda was the first to go up to Two-bit and grab the paper from him. He also quickly looked over the first couple lines of paper, a smile growing on his face as he realized what this was.
"Nice find Two-bit". Congratulated Soda.
The First line of the paper said, "The Outsiders by Ponyboy Curtis". They were both curious what the book was about. But after reading the first few pages of the stapled paper book, they realized it was about Pony, and they both guessed it was written by Ponyboy too.
Suddenly, another large bolt of lighting struck, almost as loud and bright as the one that knocked out their power. At the same time as lightning strike, the front door swung open, causing everyone to jump slightly at the loud noise of the following thunder and whip their heads in the direction of the door.
There standing in the doorway, was an agitated and soaking wet...Ponyboy and Johnny.
"Hey Ponyboy! Hey Johnny-Cakes!" Soda exclaimed, a smirk hidden on his face with a smile. "Where you been?" When he had saw that it was Ponyboy that had opened the door, he had hidden the paper behind his back.
