Author's note: Okay, someone asked about the television series since I used to watch it. First of all, it was not cheasy at all. It was very good. If you like the book and the movie, chances are, you'd like the series too. And I'm hoping that it will be released on dvd so other Outsiders fans can see it. Just don't expect it to follow the book if it does get released because the series takes place two years after the book.
Steve and I walked over to the Curtis house the next morning before school. Normally, Steve would have drove us, but his dad had locked the garage and Steve didn't feel like getting his key. Besides, Darry would drop us off along with Pony on his way to work. Either that or Two-Bit would take us if his car was running.
"Hey you two!" Soda greeted us when we walked in the door.
Steve mumbled "Hi" as he stuffed a slice of chocolate cake in his mouth. Of course, he got chocolate all over his face. Does that every morning at the Curtis home. It's the only family that eats chocolate cake for breakfast.
"Hi, Chris." Pony said as he came out of his bedroom.
"Hey." I said as I helped myself to a piece of cake.
Soda came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Looks like you and Steve are getting along okay."
I nodded. "He spent the night last night and we had a talk."
"So, you two are cool?" Soda asked.
"I think so." I didn't mention the conversation I had with Steve. I figured Steve would tell him if he really wanted him to know.
"Soda, get your shoes. It's time to go." Darry told Soda as he joined us. He turned to the others "I guess I have to drop you all off at school, huh?"
"Guess so." Pony replied. "Unless Two-Bit shows up."
"No, I'll take you. It'll be one less thing for you and Chris to search for." Darry said as he picked me up, carried me acroos the room and dropped me on the couch.
Steve just looked at me and gave a small nod. It seemed like the whole gang was searching now. Wanting answers to my questions. Only Two-Bit and Darry seemed either uninterested or too involved in their own lives to think about searching for anything. Then again, maybe they were searching and just didn't know it yet.
"Okay, I'm ready." Soda reappeared carrying his shoes. He doesn't put them on until he has to. Which is usually before he steps inside the DX station to start work. I think Darry gave up on yelling at him about his socks getting holes in them.
"Alright, everyone in the truck!" Darry instructed as he held the door open. "Soda, I'm driving."
Pony, Steve and I all sat in the back. Soda sat up front in the cab with Darry. That's how it usually was when Darry took us to school.
"So, what's the deal with you two?" Pony asked. "Why do you seem all friendly with each other?"
"Well, kid, if you must know," Steve started. "I've decided to search, too. If Chris is right with his questions, whatever everyone is searching for should be worth finding."
Pony nodded. "Yeah. That's true. Soda told me last night that he's curious about finding the answers to the questions himself. Then again, he's interested in anything that sounds like it could be an adventure."
I kind of figured that Soda had been interested after our talk the previous afternoon. And Pony was right. It was like an adventure. An adventure into the unknown. I don't think any of us knew what we were searching for, but if we found it, would our searching be worth it?
