Epilogue
Author's Note: This is the last part of the story. It's two letters. The first one is by Two-Bit, and the second one is by Ponyboy. Thank you for all the reviews, I should have another story up by the weekend.

Dear Pony, Soda, and Darry
I got your letter. Lexington, Kentucky huh? I hear there's a lot of horses there, Soda, you must be in heaven. I'm glad Pony's made some friends. Darry, you got a job that pays five bucks an hour, where could I get one of those?
Nothing much is happening here. I decided to drop out of school; I'm working as a stock boy at a grocery store. It pays Ok, I guess, it's helping mom put my kid sister through school. I saw Steve the other day, he was buying beer.
Pony, I went to put some flowers on Aurora's grave like you asked me to the other day, and this whole family of rabbits was living just a few feet away. I thought it was kind of scary because she liked rabbits so much.
So, write me another letter. It's boring here.

Hey Two-Bit
Yeah, we're in Lexington. Soda is working at Keenland, the big racetrack here. He's a groom, he gives the horses baths and cleans their stalls and stuff. Yeah, Darry does have a job that pays a lot of money. The guy that's his boss now is really nice, Darry told him our story, and he's letting us live in a room in one of the apartment complexes that he built and owns. It's in a really nice neighborhood and we don't even have to pay rent, just the electric bills and stuff.
I'm on varsity track, it's pretty cool. I've made friends with this really pretty girl that I'm on track team with. I think I'm going to ask her out next week.
That is kind of creepy about the rabbits, but Aurora would have liked that.
I'm sorry you're bored. It's almost summer, so we'll try to come sometime soon.
