Two-Bit, Johnny, and I cleaned up the mess. Wait,no, correction: Johnny and I cleaned up the mess while Two-Bit sang show tunes. Once everything was fixed we sat down on the couch and Johnny got ready to tell me the story.

"Well, at about 5:30 this morning Two-Bit woke me up because he heard something and thought it was a ghost." Johnny told me

"Logically," I responded, hoping that even in his current state Two-Bit would be able to recognize the sarcasm in my voice.

"Anyways," Johnny began "After that Two-Bit was completely on edge and refused to let me sleep. Luckily, I was able to convince him not to wake you up and call the police."

"Thanks, Johnnycakes," I said

"You're welcome. And so this morning Aurora came and knocked on the door. Two-BIt flipped out because anyone we knew would have just let themselves in. So, he ran off to grab something while I answered the door. She said that she was here to see you and I figured it must have been Aurora so I let her in. Then Two-Bit comes running out with a broom in hand, waving it wildly about trying to attack the alleged ghost."

I turned to Two-Bit "You didn't hurt her did you?" I asked him

"How should I know? Johnnycakes isn't done telling the story yet." he responded

Johnny returned to his story "Then Two-Bit knocked the vase clear off the coffee table. Aurora was watching this whole thing and finding it very amusing. Two-Bit thought that the ghost had knocked the vase down and, of course, figured that it must be hiding under the table so he just went ahead and turned that over too. I then heard you moving upstairs and when I turned around you were there and Two-Bit was holding Aurora up for God knows why."

"I was holding her so that the ghost wouldn't eat her." Two-Bit stated as if that was the most normal thing in the world "It happens all the time,"Johnny and I froze then turned to Two-Bit.

"What is wrong with you?" A voice from behind us asked. We all turned to see Dallas standing at the back door

"Yeah, Ponyboy," Two-Bit said "what's wrong with you?"
