THREE YEARS LATER

Narrator's POV

It was a beautiful summer day.
Well, it started like that, but it was around Pony's bedtime and being a three year old Pony did not, (DID NOT!) want to sleep. He was tired, but didn't want to admit it. He was scared as well. The thunder and lighting frightened the poor kid. Pony was shivering in the covers. Having them pulled over his head. He tried to sleep, but nothing was working. Then all was quiet, Pony lifted his head up from the covers and widened his large green eyes. Then a huge clap of thunder made him scream.

"Darry! Soda-a-a!" He cried. He ran out of his room and across the hall to Darry's room.

"Pony! What's wrong?" Darry asked.
"Where's Soda?" He cried.
"Soda, is at Steve's remember? He'll be back in the morning…are you alright?" Darry held on to the crying Ponyboy.

"Pony, it's alright…it's just thunder…" Darry said.
"no, no it's a monster…Steve told me…that a monster comes out of the sky and will grab me!" Darry was pissed now, how was he gonna' get back to sleep since Steve put it in Pony's head that a monster was gonna' get Pony?

"Darry…" Pony cried. "Make it stop…make it stop…I don't like thunder…" Pony cried. Darry rubbed Pony's back. Darry knew quite well that he couldn't stop thunder…but maybe he could stop "the monster".
"Pony…what does this monster look like?" He asked.
Pony looked up at Darry and said: "Big, green, smelly, and it flies." He responded.
"So…it's a dragon?" Darry asked.
Ponyboy cocked an eyebrow. "A…Dragon?" He asked.

Darry smiled, he knew how to end this. "Yeah, buddy a dragon…they fly all over heaven, giving people candy…giving them free rides…and taking them to magical places…" Darry said. "Dragons also have parties"

Ponyboy looked amazed.
"They have dancing parties. They dance and dance all night long, they make it rain and thunder. The lighting is their lights…and thunder is their stomping."

Ponyboy was glad. He had a dragon party happening in the sky.

"Darry…can we go to the party?" He asked.

"we are totally invited, but the only way to get there, is to dream…" Darry said. Ponyboy nodded. And asked. "still…can I sleep with you?" Pony asked. Darry moved over a bit and Pony climbed under the white bed sheets with Darry, Darry tucked in Pony and held onto his baby brother.

"Remember, Pony, you have to dream to see the dragons…and when you see them, they'll leave you a special treat in the morning, as a thank-you for coming to the party." Darry said.
"Chocolate cake?" Ponyboy yawned.

Darry nodded. Ponyboy felt his eyes grow heavy and soon, sleep finally over-came him. Soda and Steve came home when Darry was making breakfast.
"Thanks Steve…" Soda said.
"Oh, Steve!" Darry called. Darry walked over to Steve and slapped his face.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"scaring my brother…" he said. "And this!" Darry slapped him again.

"Ow!"
"that is for getting him hooked on dragons…" Darry was fuming. Puff the Magic dragon was playing in the living room, for the fifth time. And Darry had to make a chocolate cake using the money for groceries. Darry looked into the other room where Pony was, coloring a picture. (of a dragon) and watching Puff The Magic Dragon.

Darry smiled. He gave Pony a sense of imagination
