As soon as Two-bit, Pony and Dally, went back to the Curtis home, Pony locked himself in his room. Two-bit and Dally was definitely lost and had no idea what to do. Two-bit wasn't exactly good at being serious and Dally never showed emotions and Dally would never admit it but he didn't know Pony as much as he knew Johnny. Just because Pony was Johnny's best friend and a part of the gang, didn't mean that Dally thought about the youngest member in his gang unless it had something to do with Johnny.

"What do we do" Two-bit asked Dally and Dally shrugged his shoulders in response.

"I have no idea" Dally sat on the couch.

"We can't just stand around and do nothing" Two-bit exclaimed to Dally and once again Dally shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't do emotions, you know that Two-bit" Dally stated to Two-bit and Two-bit was about to say something but he knew that if he said what was coming to his head, he would definitely get a beaten up.

Two-bit rolled his eyes at Dally and decided to go to Pony's room. Two-bit didn't know exactly what he was going to say to the youngest, smartest gang member. Pony couldn't actually lock himself in the room, there was no locks on the bedroom doors in the Curtis house. Two-bit opened the door slowly, the sight he saw was Pony sitting at his desk holding a letter. Two-bit peered over Pony's shoulder, curiosity was peaking in him. He saw Johnny's handwriting. Pony sighed while looking down at his hands.

"Pony" Two-bit said to Pony and Pony turned around to see Two-bit there in his room.

"Are you okay" Two-bit asked while he looked extremely uncomfortable.

"I'm fine, Two-bit you don't need to check on me" Pony commented to Two-bit and Two-bit just stared at Pony.

"You must miss him huh" Two-bit said while sitting on the corner of Pony's desk.

Pony just sighed, "he was my best friend Two-bit" Pony commented to Two-bit. "Come on" Two-bit nudged Pony out of the seat. Pony just stared at Two-bit.

"You going to visit Johnny" Two-bit pushed Pony out of his room.

"Okay Two-bit stop pushing me" Pony commanded Two-bit with a glare on his face. Two-bit just gave Pony his signature smile and somehow that made Pony smile because Two-bit could make anyone smile or make someone laugh. Pony and Two-bit walked passed Dally who was a just drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette. "Where you guys going" Dally asked both Two-bit and Dally.

"Just tell Darry and Soda, we be back" Two-bit stated to Dally. Two-bit didn't want to tell Dally that they were visiting Johnny because Two-bit knew that Dally would come in a instant. Two-bit wanted Pony to have his time alone with Johnny.

"Okay fine" Dally shrugged his shoulders. Two-bit and Pony walked out of the door. Two-bit was pretty close to Pony and Pony appreciated the gesture. It took them ten minutes to get to where Johnny was buried. Two-bit just stood back and Pony looked at Two-bit.

"You not coming" Pony asked Two-bit and Two-bit just shook his head.

"This is your time with Johnny and I already visited Johnny" Two-bit urged Pony and Pony just sat down on the grass with Johnny headstone. It was amazing, when Johnny died, the kids that Pony and Johnny rescued parents paid for Johnny's funeral, even buying a headstone.

"Hey Johnny" Pony messed with the grass.

"I miss you but I'm pretty sure you already know that . I bet heaven is amazing. Get this Dally actually saw a sunset with me" Pony informed Johnny and he heard the soft spoken voice that Johnny had.

"Yeah, heaven is amazing. Your parents say hi" Johnny spoke out and soon enough there stood Johnny in front of Pony. Johnny looked pretty amazing, his burns weren't there, he had a smile on his face.

"Johnny" Pony stood up from the ground and Johnny smiled hugely at Pony. Pony was just staring at Johnny shock was written all over his face.

"Come on Pony, you act like you never seen a ghost" Johnny commented to Pony. Both Johnny and Pony went back sitting on the grass right in front of Johnny's grave.

"Pony don't let what happened to you define you" Johnny advised his best friend.

"If you do then you'll let Buck win" Johnny continued to gave Pony advice.

"I wish you were here nobody understands me as much as you do" Pony sighed while messing with a piece of the grass.

"Ponyboy, they trying to help you. They doing their best" Johnny told Pony and Pony just nodded.

"I know that" Pony said to Johnny.

"I've been keeping an eye out on the gang from up there" Johnny said to Pony while staring at his own grave.

"It's hard to feel decent. I can't look at myself in the mirror without breaking down. Who am I supposed to talk to about this with huh. Dally and Steve can't deal with emotions, Darry is too busy working, Soda is a worry wart and even Two-bit can't stand anything serious" Pony rambled on to Johnny and Johnny shook his head.

"Talk to somebody, you'll be amazed on how much people can relate to what you going through" Johnny put his hand on Pony's shoulder.

"Remember what I said in my letter Pony, stay gold" Johnny said to Pony while his hand still was on Pony's shoulder.

"What if I can't" Pony posed the question to Johnny.

"You can I believe in you and if you ever need to talk to somebody, I'm always there for you" Johnny stood up from the grass and so did Pony. Pony stood there just staring at Johnny. Johnny hugged Pony tight while he started to fade away.

"Pony, you'll be okay I promise. Tell the guys I say hi and how much I miss them" Those words was the last set of words out of Johnny's mouth. Johnny waved bye to his best friend and Pony sadly waved back at his dead best friend.

Two-bit and Pony both headed back to the Curtis but it was different this time because Pony felt hope that wasn't there before seeing Johnny.

"So, you saw Johnny" Two-bit nudged Pony and Pony stared at Two-bit.

"What you think Johnny only visited you" Two-bit shrugged his shoulders. Johnny helped Two-bit get out of his dangerous habit of drinking away his life. Of course, Two-bit wasn't going to cut out drinking entirely but he did decrease his drinking.
