Howdy Guys n Gals

Thanx heeps for waiting for this fic, im ReAlLy SoRrY it took so long.

I have had heeps of problems lately. I was studying and doing exams till last week when it ended and I had no excuse not to update. Something strange happened, I didn't have writers block but somthing quite opposite, I had too many ideas to choose from, and too many paths to take. If you think this chapter could be better please tell me and I would be glad to switch it with another chapter in its place. TOO MANY IDEAS!

Disclamer: I own The Outsiders. Wait ... No i don't.


Pony POV

I think I finally fell asleep after my shower because when I opened my eyes, I remembered a strange dream about Steve. Of all the people, I dreamt of Steve.

Flashback: I was standing next to the door when Steve waltzed in. He seemed extremely happy.

I followed him into the bedroom where he sat down and wrote a birthday card to my brother, Soda. The date was October 1st, and he wanted to get the card and pay 1 week in advance for his best friend.

He was almost singing until he realised his drunken father looking at him from the door way.

A bottle was thrown at him at such a speed I could have sworn he was dead.

I was suddenly brought back to my own house where I heard a sad conversation. He didn't seem to know what was going on around him.

"Don't touch me!" he screamed as if his father were going to hit him again.

"Calm down I wont hurt you" Darry said in the most calming voice he had

"Ouch…. You're hurting me, Please stop. STOP STOP OWWW" he was scaring the guys, thrashing himself against the wall

He got scared when Darry's hand was on his shoulder, and he ran out the house, full of fear.

Suddenly I was hearing Steve's thoughts, and I saw his ridged movements as soda ran out the house, tears in his eyes over his shaken friend.

The words, "dads gonna kill me" and "MY HEAD!" were echoing around the street.

Suddenly I woke up and decided to great the gang, but to my surprise they weren't there.

I looked in all the rooms when a sudden thought got locked in my head. The dream was real.

I decided to go to my old hiding place that I used to go to when I was really little, before mum and dad died. Only Soda knew about it because whenever I got scared I would hide, and he would always be the one to come and find me.

I sat in the cupboard waiting and slowly thinking of all the things that had just gone through my head.

I curled my body up and cried for my brothers to come home, I was all alone.


Well... that was probably the shortest chapter I have everwritten. As i said beforeI can change it if you want me to. Im not to sure what path I want to take from here so I might even end up writing a whole new fanfic :)

Thanks for being so patient
