"Kid, it's been a few days since we last saw you and it was really boring without you," Two-Bit said as soon as he saw Johnny coming out of Dally's car. "Really?" Johnny asked. "Of course, even Pontiac misses you, by the way…" and before Johnny could ask, Two-Bit gave him a hard noogie. "OW, DUDE, STOP IT!" Johnny yelled, struggling to get out of Two-Bit's grasp.
"Holler Pontiac,"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"Two-Bit, leave the kid alone, he just got out of the hospital. Are you going to put him in there again?" Steve replied, pulling Two-Bit and Johnny away.
"Maybe," Two-Bit replied playfully. "I swear if you think your a smartass I'm gonna…" Steve threatened.
"Calm yourself down," Two-Bit interrupted, stopping Steve from his threatening.
"That hardly makes sense,"
"You hardly make sense,"
Before Steve and Two-Bit's fight increased, Johnny left them, heading straight to class.
It was finally lunch time and all Johnny couldn't stop thinking was Dally and Pontiac. He was excited to see Pontiac but he was still mad at Dally. The two brothers didn't speak to each other after the hospital incident and Two-Bit tried (or at least helped) to reunite the brothers. But they didn't want their help. After all it's pretty much both of their faults for getting into a huge fight.
Mostly, Dally….
He saw Pontiac with another book 'Nineteen-Eighty Four' and went up to him, closing his eyes and giving him a peck on the lips. "Johnny," Pontiac said, removing his hands and moving over to give Johnny a spot. "Hey," Johnny said, looking at him and giving him a quick peck on the lips.
"Hey, did you and-"
"No, not yet, but, to be honest, we both kind of deserved it," Johnny said. Pontiac sighed and carresed his face. "You guys are fighting over something just like Darry and Ponyboy did," Pontiac said.
Johnny was startled. "How do you know about Ponyboy?" he asked him. Pontiac looked at him again. "Wait, what did you say?" Pontiac asked.
"How do you know about Ponybo-" and before he can continue, he felt the lights turned off. The cafeteria was pitch black. "Hey, who turned off the light?" Johnny asked. "The lights, nobody, Johnny are you okay?" Sodapop asked. "What did he say?" Pontiac yelled to whoever he was yelling at. "I CAN'T SEE!" a thought rang out in his head. "What's happening?" Johnny asked. "Can you see? Can you see what the fuck is happening?" Steve asked him.
"No I ca-" and before he could continue, he didn't see pitch black anymore. He turned away, and started to hug himself. "Johnny?" a voice asked him, touching him on his shoulder. Johnny jumped, as if he saw a ghost and fell on the floor, taking out his swithcblade (wait, SWITCHBLADE?!). Pontiac, Sodapop, Darry, Two-Bit and Steve gasped aloud. "Dude, what the hell is that?" Two-Bit yelled. Johnny was spoke, and it came out soft-spoken.
"A s-switchb-blade…" he answered soft spokenly.
"Johnny, babe, is everything all right?" Pontiac asked reaching towards him. Johnny then realized what was going on.
It was his recarnations. They wre trying to tell something to him. Someone was back.
Someone was back to hurt them. "T-take m-me back," Johnny said. "What, where?" Two-Bit asked him.
"H-hospital. H-he's back. H-he's back for all of you. He's not going to stop," Johnny continued. This wasn't his voice that he was talking in. No, it was a mixture. Johnny from 2003 and Johnny from 1965. Both of them mixed together.
"Johnny, dude, what the-" Darry began to say. "CALL THE HOSPITAL," Pontiac yelled. Darry nodded and ran off. "He's going to hurt you all. He's not going to stop. He wants my and his hearts," Johnny said, pointing to himself and to Pontiac. Steve, Sodapop and Two-Bit looked at him with fearful eyes. "He wants their Gold Hearts. Why? With them to rule the world. I don't have enough time but if he does come, take us both to Windrixville. Hide us in the church. Do whatever it takes, to stop him. Stop him from killing us," Johnny then stopped, started to sway back and forth and fell on the floor with a thud.
