Sorry about my N.U. (not updating) but…my mind is gone…it died, but since I love all my reviewers except the mean one…I will update even if it sucks!

…As Pony fell asleep, with tears streaming down his face, Charlie, Bob, and Randy walked by; Bob went outside to smoke, along with Randy, and Charlie went to take a shower and make a phone call. And when they walked by, Pony scented a smell, though it was almost gone. It was the faint smell of…Chloroform.

Back in Tulsa

Darry, Sodapop, Dally, Steve, Two-Bit, and Johnny had been at the Curtis house hold since Pony's disappearance two days ago. Well, Steve had left because his mother needed him at home, but only for an hour and he had come strait back. Darry and Sodapop were affected the most. Darry had not slept since that night, and Soda had fallen asleep about five minutes ago. His head was resting on Darry's shoulder, his now messy hair resting on his face, and his arms folded limply to his chest.

Darry was sitting on the couch with Soda's head resting on his shoulders, and Two-bit sitting next to Soda, staring blankly at the television, which was not on. Steve sat in Darry's chair, and Johnny and Dally were laying on the floor. Johnny had finally fallen asleep, and Dally was almost asleep as well.

They had not said anything except things like 'morning' and 'I'm going to take a shower.' So Darry slowly stood up and asked the few friends who were awake what they wanted to eat. He received a few 'whatever you make.' So as he walks into the kitchen, Steve says that he's going to take a shower before he eats something. "Ok" is all Darry said when the phone rang. He picked up the kitchen phone and said hello.

"Hello?"

"Hello Darryl."

"Who is this?"

"I must say that for a big brother, you don't take very good care of your sibling, especially a 14 year old."

"What?!"

"You heard me Curtis, I kidnapped your little brother and shoved him in some random trunk, but don't worry, I knocked him out for a good day and a half. He should have woken up today sometime…In Florida, if I remember correctly. See, I followed the people, and it landed me in Florida so don't worry too much, your bother is safe…for now." click

Darry couldn't speak. What else could he had done? He had just talked to his little brother's kidnapper, and said practically nothing! He slowly hung up the phone and walked into the living room, before turning around, and going back into the kitchen. Why bother them about it…it will only stress them out more. So he slowly cooked dinner, and then woke up every one who was asleep. They all ate and then they went to sleep. Even Darry finally fell asleep, unable to stay awake any more. But before he did, he poked Soda awake and told him to sleep in his room. But of course, Soda went in Pony's room to sleep. So Darry told Johnny to go ahead and sleep in Soda's room. Johnny did and Darry gathered some blankets. Two-Bit and Dally were out on the couch, and Steve was sleeping in the chair. He threw the blankets on the three boys sleeping in his living room, and then went to bed.

Next morning

Two-Bit was the first to wake up. He looked on the floor and found Dally all wrapped up in a blanket. He looked over to Darry's chair and did not find Darry, but instead found Steve. He didn't feel like being the only one awake, so he nudged Dally in his head with his foot. Dally's eyes popped open instantly. He glared at Two-Bit and said, "Damn it Two-Bit, If Soda and Darry weren't all worried about Pony…I would be kickin' your ass from here to Kokomo." Two-Bit just looked at him and said, "Well, if they weren't worried about Pony, I would have woke you up with some water and my blade." He said with no happiness or sarcasm. Dally just shrugged it off and went to go take a shower.

Darry woke up to the sound of water running…in the shower. He turned over onto his side. He yawned and tried to stand up, but failed and fell to the floor. He looked down to see what had made him fall: The blanket…the stupid blanket. He threw off the blanket and walked over to get some clean cloths and take a shower after whoever (Dally) had finished.

After everyone had awoken from their slumber, had eaten their breakfast, and had dressed properly, they all separated into their groups. Darry, SodaPop, and Steve had all gone to work, seeing as none of them (besides Steve) had been to work since Ponyboy had gone missing. Dally, Two-bit and Johnny all went for a walk to the park.

At the Park

Johnny was sitting up in a tree next to the fountain that Dally was playing in. Well, more like he would splash anyone that walked past him and if they were kids, he would say "I hate little kids." and chase them away. Same with the adults, he would splash them as well and make some rude comment, unless it was an old lady or man. He thought that they were to weak to even bother with. Two-bit was sitting on one of the swings and every once in a while when he got up high enough, he would do a back flip off of it.

They continued on like this for three hours when Dally finally spoke up. "Why are we here?" Johnny and Two-Bit looked at him, and thought 'Why are we here?' "I don't really know…" Two-bit said, and continued "Lets go back to the Curtis home and watch Mickey mouse!" Johnny and Dally both looked at him as if he had lost it. "Are you stupid? The makers of that how did not make it for 21 year olds…They made if for 5 year old brats and other ages." Dally said. "Yeah, but Dally… Two-bit acts like a five year old." Johnny said to Dally. Dally looked away from Two-bit, thought a little and then said, "Yeah your right kid. Fine you two children go watch your cartoons while I go over to David's house. (Random person I just made up) Two-bit and Johnny just shrugged and started back to the Curtis household.

They waited for the others to get back for a long time. When Soda and Steve walked through the doors, they found a sleeping Johnny and Two-bit. Johnny had fallen asleep almost when this head hit the couch, of which he was laying on. Two-bit on the other hand was sprawled out onto the floor with Dally's blanket all wadded up under his head. Soda just left Johnny alone for the moment and went to pick on the Mickey Mouse lover.

Soda had on foot on either side of the sleeping person on the floor. He gave a faint, ghostly smile before sitting on Two-bit's back and receiving a loud yelp and a "What in the hell?!" Soda smiled and stood up. He just walked over to Johnny and poked him in the side until the boy stopped slapping him and had awakened. Two-bit glared at Soda and said while rubbing his back "What's up with that? You poke Johnny-boy awake and just about break my back so that you can wake ME up? I hardly say that's fair." Soda just turned towards the kitchen before saying "Well, I believe you did something similar about 2 weeks ago." He stopped as he thought about who had helped Mr. Mickey Mouse to complete his mission. He whispered a soft "Pony" and walked into the kitchen to make dinner…with a twist.

When every one had made it back to the Curtis home, they found green corn (blue food coloring does that) , red milk, and purple mashed potatoes. They ate in silence and then went to watch the news. The news was showing pictures of Florida and the upcoming hurricane that was about to hit… Hurricane Teresa (don't know if that is one and I don't care) While showing pictures…Soda noticed a blond in the background…it was Sandy! But what shocked him the most was the person she was talking to. He couldn't believe and didn't think it was possible…It was Ponyboy.
