Piper and Darry stayed together for a week before breaking up. The house was hell that week. Piper and couldn't be in the same room together. None of the gang could really figure it out. They were a strange couple Piper and Darry. Though they couldn't be more perfect. The fight finally ended after Piper threw a wrench at Darry. After that Darry knew he had to make things right. He worked with Soda and locked himself in a room with Piper. They were stuck in there for a few hours before they both made up... That was the only fight Darry and Piper had. After that they were together at all times.

Piper and Darry stayed together for four years before Darry proposed. It was diffidently a day that Piper would never forget. That morning when she woke up Darry wasn't next to her. When she went downstairs only Pony was home. He told her that Darry had already went to work and spent the day with her. They went to the movies and Pony even made Piper go shopping. (You should have seen the looks of the department store clerk's face!) While Piper was gone Darry was busy getting ready. Pony had gotten a job in his least year of school so Darry was having a better time with money around the house. He had also started his own company with a few of his other friends and was doing really well. The gang had left for the night they were all staying at Two-Bits and Pony was going there after walking Piper home. Once she got there Pony was gone and Darry was nowhere to be see. Though once she walked into the kitchen she found him. Darry is more romantic then one might think. It was the classic romantic dinner. There were candles and roses it was just perfect. To end the night Darry got down on knee. It was perfect.

Darry and Piper got married and moved out of Tulsa. They moved to a large house in Kansas. They saved up for years but finally got enough money and were okay in a nice neighborhood. The house was big enough for everyone. It was only a ten minute drive from Pony's collage so he still stayed with them.

Pony turned out to have quiet an imagination. Apparently all throughout high school Pony was busy writing a novel. It was about the gang. Excluding Piper, Pony didn't feel he knew her well enough at the time he started and didn't want to just add her in randomly. It was an amazing story. It did hit a few nerves when Pony finally told the gang and let them read it. You should have seen Dallas' face when he read that he died. It was a wonder he didn't beat Pony's face in. Though it did open the eyes of Steve. He didn't really mean to make the kid think he hated him. After that Steve and Pony got a whole lot closer. Pony published the book under the pen name S.E Hinton.

Though anyone who did some research could find that it was really by Ponyboy Curtis. Though Pony didn't want anyone to know that he wrote it because what if they thought that the events really did happen? How knows what that could lead to. With the money Pony got from his book he was able to go to collage with help from a large scholarship. He also went on to write many other famous books. Pony also ended up get married to his high school sweetheart after collage and they bought the house right across the street from Darry and Piper.

Sodapop found himself a nice girl. Her name was Kelly. It seemed that Soda met all the important people in his life through cars. No, he didn't hit her with one but she brought hers in for an oil change. They both just clicked and in under a week they were a public item. The whole gang was really happy for them but they weren't to big on public boundaries. More than once the gang would walk in on them making out. That's when the rule, "Never let Soda and Kelly be alone in a room" came into play. When Soda and Kelly got married Piper and Darry offered to let them stay in their house but instead Pony set aside some of his money from is books and bought them a place down the street. Together Kelly and Soda raised two kids, both little girls. One was named Spirit Kelly Curtis and the other 7-up Annie Curtis. Soda wanted to be just like his father and give his children... original names.

Steve moved in with Darry and Piper living on the top floor of their house. (It had had four floors in total, very costly but worth it.) Steve was the one who took the longest to get a girl and settle down. It seemed like he was never going to get together with someone but when Two-Bit got married he met the girl of his dreams. It did start a bit of a fight between the two men because the girl of Steve's dreams just so happened to be Two-Bit's cousin, Margret. Now you can all see what would happen there. Though after seven shouting matches, four lost teeth, three broken noses, five threats to run away to Canada, and one broken arm via spatula... (long story... don't ask) Steve and Margret were able to date. Margret and Steve were the only ones to really move far away. They got a small house in Alabama. Though they also got a lake house in Ohio where the whole gang would stay for the summer. Margret and Steve only had one child, his name was Ryan and much to Soda and Steve's pleasure quickly developed a crush on little miss Spirit Curtis. (But that story is for another time.)

Two-bit changed a lot over time. He finally finished his school and got a girl. Her name was Mari and she was, as predicted, blonde. Though strangely not into Micky Mouse. (Yes, cue the group gasp.) She was more of a serious type but they balanced each other out. They fought a lot but they could never stay mad at each other for long, they usually made up within an hour. Mari was the one who worked in the family. She was a teacher at the local elementary school there in Kansas. Two-Bit moved into the two upper floors of Darry and Piper's house and stayed home with the kids most of the time. Mari and Two-Bit had twins, one boy one girl though both with the same rusty hair and dancing gray eyes of their father. The boy's name was Micky. There was a long fight over that but somehow Two-Bit managed to convince Mari that it was a good name. It doesn't end there though, Two-Bit must be very good at persuading people because the girls name was Minnie. Minnie because very good friends with 7-up and Micky with Ryan. They were quite the pair Micky and Ryan. They were very good at pranks and after a while the gang figured out not to take anything from them if you didn't see them get it, pour it, taste it, and diffidently if they made it themselves.

Dallas never got married but that was fine with him. Sylvia got pregnant and ran off, about a year later she came back and just left the kids with Dallas. He never saw her since. He moved in with Johnny in a small apartment just five minutes away from the rest of the gang. After hearing Pony's book he really got his act together. He just stopped. He stopped being a hood and got a job. The weirdest thing? He turned out the be a police officer. He was in charge of helping kids who have abusive parents. He became one of the best officers in the state.

Johnny changed a lot because of the book too. Johnny got out of the house and moved in with Dallas. Pony actually set him up on a date with a girl he new from collage. Her name was Jane and she had come from abusive parents too. They made a really nice couple and had two kids, Dalton and Beth. They all lived with their God Father, Dallas. Johnny went on the be a famous children's book author while Jane illustrated. They made a good team.

As For Darry and Piper. Well, they had a big house for a reason. Together they had four kids. Two girls, two boys. Their oldest was Emma. She looked just like her mother though she had Darry's pale blue eyes. For anyone who saw her on the street she was shy and quiet. Though at home she was crazy. She and her twin, Jamie, were always running around and teasing each other. The other two boys were also twins. Chase and Shayne. They were like mini Darrys. Though they were younger by two years they acted like the older siblings and kept their sisters out of line. Though would have their fun though. At parties the twins would keep changing around on people. They only way to tell who Chase was and who was Shayne was that Shayne had a birthmark on the side of his neck, though you wouldn't see it if you weren't looking for it.

The summers at the lake house were crazy. The whole gang would get together and pull pranks and goof off. It was a good life they had together. It was just the right amount of crazy that just made you smile and be glad you had the strangest, loudest, funniest family in the whole wide world. It was perfect.

And to think, this all started because Soda hit a poor girl with a car on her 20th birthday.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for a happy ending! I would just like to thank everyone that reviewed and read my story. Thank you for sticking with me this whole time! You all rock!
