Today's Story requests:

tristin chapter 36 . (I'll try and do this, but I have a twist to the idea and I think it will work -Kylelover101)

Request: curly successfully steals a ring and gives it to Ponyboy...BUT the police catches Ponyboy instead of curly and thinks that Ponyboy is the thief.

imgroot chapter 36 . (I will most defiantly allow Bud into the story! I think Chip needs a brother anyway. -Kylelover101)

OH MY GOD HE'S GOING TO TRY TO PROPOSE ASDFGHJKLKMNBVCDTYUHJKBVGHFXDTJYFH
ohhhhhhh i can't wait for the next chapter. I think it'd be hilarious if pony told the gang he was engaged to curly only to have them all freak out (and forbid it of course)...so he tries to elope but the gang (and especially a crazed soda) crash the 'wedding'! lol!
even though i know they are way too young for a real marriage, i really hope pony and curly stay together. i was REALLY sad when scott left. Also, d'you think my dog Bud could make an appearance? He's a huge tibetan mastiff with a heart of gold. ;P I figured he'd probably be good friends with chip and sabrina once the puppies realize he isn't scary (a lot of dogs are intimidated by him at first, he's huge! but a sweet teddy bear, ;D). But i get it if you don't add him, obviously you can't pile EVERY reviewers' pet into the story. Thanks for the lovely chapter!

PinkAmy chapter 36 .

Love the story. I Missed it. I missed you too.
Ugh, as much as I don't like Pony and Curly together, I guess i'll go with it. Sorry Scott. But I have two suggestions, they're kinda the same.
Suggestions- Curly asks Pony to marry him in front of the whole gang, and ven though they are furious, thy don't do anything cause all they want is Ponyboy's happiness

or

News spreads that Curly wants to purpose to Ponyboy, and Everybody but The gang know. So when Cury is about to purpose to Ponyboy but ... SCOTT COMES. ( Psh, i'm never gonna give up on Scott. I love that guy.)

Hope you do one of them.
Whale, until next update,
STAY GOLD XD.

Guest chapter 35 .

I've been pretty much a lurker, but for chapter 36

-pony has sex
-more Vietnam soda
-two-bit gets drunk and takes pony out and try's to do stuff with him in a drunken state, but then Darry catches him

I don't know. If these seem stupid, or Impossible to fit into the story, then disregard
Otherwise, I love this book.
(Hated Scott though)

Chapter 36

Chip barked loudly to be let outside. "Alright, alright. I'm coming." Chip wagged his tail seeing his master Ponyboy open the door.

"Don't go too far, Chip." He smiled, petting the puppy's head. Chip barked back, hopping off the porch. When Ponyboy closed the door Chip took a deep breath.

"Wow, thought he'd never let me out." Chip breathed. Chip happily strolled down the sidewalk, his tail wagging in joy as he came to his bush where he buried a bone not too long ago. Chip smiled.

"Hope Sabrina likes this." He told himself, picking up the large bone with his tiny puppy mouth. "I like this talking thing." Chip gasped, looking around. He had to make sure Humans didn't hear him, it's Animal-Code and a big taboo if animals speak to Humans.

Chip was happily skipping back to the Pet Store when he bumped into another dog.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" Chip barked. Chip nearly squeaked seeing the. . . ."Dog" in front of him. It was a rather large Tibetan mastiff. It was larger than any Dog Chip has seen, with it's large white coat and big paws, this Dog could maul anything in it's path. Chip screamed, startling the dog and the other dog backed up into a mirror. Turning around the Dog went to see what he knocked over and screamed seeing his reflection, mistaking it for another Dog.

"Oh, my God, A monster!" The Tibetan Mastiff screamed, hiding behind Chip.

"What?" Chip asked, "Why are you scared?"

"Do you not see that big dog in the mirror? He could eat us!"

Chip smirked, shaking his head, he brought the mirror closer to the Gentle Giant and the Dog got another look before laughing, "Oh, I guess it's me."

Chip chuckled warmly, he held out his paw. "Hi, I'm Chocolate Chip Curtis. Who are you?" The large dog thought for a moment before shrugging.

"You mean, you don't have a name?" Chip asked, sadly.

"I guess not." The Mastiff confessed. ". . . .Hey, that's a nice bone you got." The large dog's eyes widened and he began panting and drooling at the sights of a juicy white bone.

Chip sighed, tossing it to the large dog who chewed on it with pleasure. "Well, you need a name."

The larger Dog looked up, curiously. "Where are you headed to, Chip?"

"I'm off to see my girlfriend." Chip smiled sweetly, remembering Sabrina, the adorable yellow lab he met with his master, Ponyboy, at the pet store.

"What she look like?" The white dog asked.

"Well, she's blonde, beautiful. . . she's into sparkled collars, I prefer leather myself. She's amazing, Sweet. . . "

"She got blue eyes?"

"Yeah, why?"

The larger Dog pointed a ways away and Chip gasped, running on four paws to see the horrific sight of his lovely pooch being put in a kennel at the Pet store. He went to save her but was trapped by a fence.

"Sabrina!" He barked loudly, trying to wiggle through the chain-links.

"Mommy, do you think my Prince will like this puppy?" A little blonde girl asked, looking at the frightened Sabrina inside the kennel.

"I don't know, sweetie, we'll found out soon, though." Her mother smiled, helping her daughter into the Limo. Chip finally got free of the fence and raced after the limo.

"Sabrina!" Chip howled loudly, chasing the limo that drove off with her. Chip had lost the car and let out a long, low howl in sadness. Soon he sniffed, laying on the concrete sidewalk being met by the Tibetan Mastiff. "Well, I'm sorry that happened to ya' Chip."

"S'alright." Chip sniffed.

"Hey, we'll share." The larger dog smiled, nudging the bone closer to Chip. Chip smiled sweetly and thought for a moment.

"Hey, you have a home?" He asked.

The large, white, beast shook his head. "I think ya' do now." Chip smiled.

. . . . .

"Absolutly not!" Soda cried in fear, holding Ponyboy away from the "monster" that followed Chip home. "Darry, tell Ponyboy we're not keeping this dog!"

Ponyboy frowned, "Why not? Chip needs a brother! We'll call him Vanilla."

"No, Ponyboy. This dog is the size of a lion, what would the Social Workers think of having a dog this huge in our house? It's not fair to the animal either, he needs room, Ponyboy." Darry softly reprimanded. Ponyboy sniffed, feeling tears come to his face.

Just then, Dallas walked outside. "I'll take him."

The three looked at Dallas confused. "You?"

"Something wrong with that?" Dallas dared, then he smirked, taking off his jacket. "Sides, he'll be good in a rumble."

The leather jacket that Dallas took off of him fit the large Dog just nicely. "Wow, never had a jacket of my own," The dog barked, obviously not understood by Humans, but clearly heard by Chip. Chip nodded, "That's Darry, That's Soda and That's my master, Ponyboy. They're a good bunch."

"Is he my master?" The large dog pointed to Dallas.

"Yup. He's tuff and Tough."

"Huh?"

"You'll get used to it." Chip smiled.

"I'm still naming him!" Pony declared, "Your name, is Buddy, cause you're now our Buddy."

The barked happily, tackling Ponyboy to the ground and licking his face off the giggling teenager.

"Darry. . . . tell me the truth." Ponyboy demanded.

Darry looked up form his coffee, at his feet were nestled Chip and Buddy, warming his cold feet. "Tell you what?"

It was early in the morning and Darry didn't want to fight. "Darry, I know I'm adopted. Just tell me."

Darry chuckled and Pony frowned, "I'm serious!"

"Ponyboy, trust me, you're not adopted."

"How can you be so sure?! I mean, I can't find any baby pictures of me!" Darry rolled his eyes stepping away from the warmth of the furry dogs and left to the family bookshelf.

"Here," Darry held a red book. "This is your baby book and-HEY!"

Inside, there were not pictures. Ponyboy smiled, "Ah-ha! I'm right!"

"Ponyboy, why are you asking me this? For Christ's sake, you LOOK just like Soda!"

"He could be adopted too!"

"Ponyboy, you're not adopted, end of discussion." Darry went back to his coffee and Pony crossed his arms. All day, Ponyboy looked for a reason to be adopted. Why? you ask. For a class project that was due next week, his History teacher wanted them making family trees and he couldn't find baby pictures of himself.

He sat on the front porch sniffing. School was on Monday and he couldn't finish his project, Darry was going to be mad at him and he'll fail History.

"Ponyboy!"

Pony looked up seeing Soda rush to him. Soda had just gotten off work.

"Baby, what's wrong?" He asked, sitting next to Pony and checking for bruises. "Who in the hell hurt you? Cause if SOMEONE HURT YOU!-"

"Soda, I'm fine. I'm okay." Pony frowned, looking at the ground. Soda brushed a few hairs away from Pony's forehead.

"Baby, what happened?" Soda asked, "You can tel me."

Pony bit his lip, "Soda, am I adopted?" Soda burst out laughing and Ponyboy was confused. "You. . . adopted? Oh Goodness, Ponyboy. You know better than to watch Perry Manson TV shows."

"Soda, I'm serious!" Pony cried.

Soda smiled and cupped Pony's face. "Oh, no. Ponyboy. You are NOT adopted. In fact. . . you look just like me. And aren't you just the cutest, widdle thang!-"

Pony blushed as Soda squeezed his cheeks. "Soda! Off topic!"

"Oh, sorry." Soda chuckled, "Here, let me give you something."

Ponyboy followed Soda to their room where Soda took a baby picture of him and Darry holding Baby Ponyboy. "This was taken a few minutes after Darry and I met you." Soda smiled, Ponyboy took the picture. He was such a tiny baby and Soda and Darry looked so happy seeing Pony for the first time.

"I guarantee you, Ponyboy. You. Are. Not. Adopted." Soda smiled, shoving his hands into his pocket. Pony's smile faded.

"But how come I can't find any baby pictures of me?" Pony asked.

"Oh, trust me, Ponyboy." Soda patted his back as they left the room. "They're someplace safe."

. . . . .

"AND THIS ONE IS WHEN HE'S IN THE BATHTUB!" Soda gushed on the intercom to all the Senior Citizens on the Tour buss. They all marveled at the pictures of Ponyboy when he was small, all adoringly loving the sight of the little baby being washed in the tub.

"THIS WAS FOUR OF JULY AND LOOK, HE'S GOT A SPARKLER!"

Chloe groaned, "Poor Ponyboy." She muttered.

On Sunday Ponyboy was enjoying the marvelous day outside. The sun was shining and school would start on Monday. Today was the last day of peace before all the heavy homework he'd be bombarded with.

Curly Shepard breathed heavily, running down the street. Ponyboy took a sip of lemonade, sighing when a nice breeze hit him. Curly jumped over a cat, skidding down a narrow sidewalk. Ponyboy added a little rock to the porch swing, nearly falling asleep.

"PONYBOY!" Pony's eyes widened and he sat up quickly. He gasped seeing Curly falling into one of their trash cans, tipping over another one.

"Curly!" Pony cried. From inside Darry and Soda laughed knowing the middle Shepard had hurt himself. Soon them and the Gang was outside seeing what the commotion was. Pony helped Curly out of the garbage can, not liking at all the scrapes and howmuch Curly smelled right about now.

"PONY! MARRY ME!" Curly screamed for the world to see as he got on one knee and blasts the ring to Pony's vision.

Pony's jaw dropped.

Everyone in the gang was speechless, boiling with anger and then-"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

Soda stepped forward. "I refuse!"

"I wasn't asking you, Soda-Bottle!"

"This is crossing the line, Sheaprd!"

"What about behind the line?"

"I won't tolerate this under my roof!" Darry added.

"What about on the roof?"

"Shepard, one more Comeback and I'll pound you!"

Ponyboy looked at the ring. It was one of the largest diamond he had ever seen. It must had been at the minimum, forty-seven carrot gold band with a huge smacker of a crystal on top. It looked like it weighed over at least five pounds. Ponyboy gulped seeing the red-sticker price tag.

"Oh, no." He muttered.

"Ah, you gotta' love me, now: Brother-in-law." Curly spat.

Soda shuttered at the word. "I'm only a brother, never will I be YOUR brother in law!"

"He didn't even say 'yes' yet, so shut your trap!"

"If he even did say yes, that's give me the right to beat you to a pulp, that's what we do to disrespectful little bastards in this family!" Darry growled. "Pony, get away from that ring, it's probably stolen."

Oh, Darry was right. Pony gulped, "Uh, Curly?" Just then sirens were heard from far off in the distance, coming closer. Dallas took Johnny by the arm and ran inside, remembering the kid was wearing a jacket he stole at the store. Two-bit followed with his stolen beer in hand. Steve stayed just in case a fight broke out.

"Yes, love?"

". . . . Where did you get this?" Pony shuttered.

Just then the whole street was covered in Cop cars all racing towards Curly. Curly screamed when he was tackled to the ground, the ring calling out of it's box on to the ground. Soda yanked Ponyboy away from the mess as Curly screamed,

"Don't worry, Ponyboy! I won't go to Juvy for this!"

. . . .

"GUILTY." The judge smacked the mallot on the desk and Curly was slapped upside the head by Tim.

"Idiot!" He muttered.

"But, I did nothing wrong!" Curly screamed, being dragged away by cops. "I swear, It wasn't me, it was blonde one!"

He pointed to Soda who stuck his tongue out at Curly. Pony's face remained emotionless as he stepped outside to say goodbye to Curly one last time before the truck took off, taking him to Juvy for, what the judge demanded, four years.

"You believe me, right, Baby Curtis?" Curly smiled hopefully.

Ponyboy put his hands on the bars of the truck. "Curly. . . I love you more than life itself."

Curly smiled.

"-But," Pony frowned, "We can't be together, I don't know if I can handle a long-distance relationship."

Curly frowned, taking Pony's fingertips with his own. "Pony. . ."

"Curly, if I see you in four years and I'm alone. Then we'll more than defiantly spend our time together." He smiled. "But I want you to date some. I want you to have happiness and if you can find it with someone else, than that'll make me so happy, Curly. Knowing you're happy, makes me happy."

Curly smiled sadly. The engine to the truck roared. "One last kiss before I go?" He asked.

Pony smiled, and the two kissed letting go when the truck drove off with the Notorious Curly Shepard.

"YAHOO!" HE'S GONE!" Soda screamed with delight, pouncing on Ponyboy. Pony smiled, rolling his eyes. "Let's go home so you can wash your mouth out after kissing that dirty hood." Soda chuckled at his joke.

Ponyboy followed slowly behind Soda to the truck as he admired the ring curly got for him. He had picked it up off the ground before anyone could see it. He figured he'd keep it, sentimentally.

He looked up at the peach sky, "So dawn goes down to day. . . " He smiled.

Curly looked up at the sky from inside the truck. Smiling as he recalled most of his memories of Ponyboy.

"Nothing Gold. . . can stay. "
