The Outsiders: Bats

Now I own Pepsi-Cola : )

Soda's Pov.

I was glad Two-Bit was ok; he looked bad off. He said he was spitting up blood because he swallowed some bloody water. Stevie and I were looking for food. We split up to see if could find some more. I had a weird feeling someone or something was watching me. I kept look over my back to see if someone was there.

"Soda let get goin'" I heard Steve shout.

"Ok."

I jump though the bush to go find him, but I hit my head on something. I looked up to see a bat that looked like me.

"Oww," We both yelled at the same time.

"Hay," We yelled again at the same time. "Stop that. You stop that. Me, you stop."

Steve Pov.

"Sodapop where are you?" I said as I moved to the place I heard him last. I step thought the bushes, and saw him, two of him.

"Why are you in my territory?" the one that was not Soda hissed.

"Listen we will leave." Soda tried to say.

He toke a look at Soda and me and then said "I'm Pepsi-Cola, who are you two?"

"I'm Sodapop and this is Steve"

I look at the young bat he looked to be the same age as Soda and me. He had slim wings and strong looking arms. His claws were sharp and his eyes looked like Soda's eyes (lively). One of his eyes was greenish gray like Ponyboy's the over was ice blue like Darry's. His fur was gold like Soda's, but it was all dirty most likely from not being groomed for a long time. The fur on his head and back was more spiked up then Soda, and he also had some brownish red streaks in it like Pony's. I could see him scratching he most have had lot of flees and ticks.

"Where's your colony?" Soda asked.

"Well… I'll tell you later maybe. Where's your colony?" Pepsi-Cola Asked.

"They're hunting" I said

"The sun is starting to rise if you go get them you all can stay with me." Pepsi-Cola said

"Ok, Steve go get them we'll be hear" Soda said.

"Ok" I started to run to where we all said we would meat up. Oh, fireyhotspot forgot to tell you sunwing like to hunt on the ground and in the air. We are good runners and diggers.

So I was running to get the colony when I ran into Johnny we rolled little ways and hit Alister and Ponyboy.

"Sorry you guys Ok" I said

"Ya, we're ok, man" Johnny said.

"Why the rush Steveo" Al. asked.

The rest of the colony was there and I told them about Pepsi-Cola.

"Ok, lates go meat him." Pony said

Soda's Pov.

I stayed with Pepsi-Cola why Steve got the rest of the colony. Pepsi-Cola started to bit flies off of himself. I start to help him get some off.

"Thanks those things are hard to get off." Pepsi said

"Your welcome" I said back.

"So why are you all so far west" he asked

"I don't know how to tell you with out sounding dumb, maybe Ponyboy came tell you"

"Who is Ponyboy?" Pepsi asked

"He's my little brother."

"You're lucky I've always wanted a brother."

"Oh, I've got two."

"Soda I got em'" I looked back to Steve coming thought the bushes.

"Pepsi-Cola this is our colony" I said to him.

"Ok lets get goin'" he said.

We walked good half mile before we came to this old shack. Pepsi-Cola lead us inside. He had covered the place with leave and old rags to stop the wind from getting in. It was warm.

Pepsi-Cola looked at Two-bit and asked him how he got his cuts.

"I got slashed by a hawk."

"Oh, try putting this in your cuts. It hurts but it will heal faster."

"Where's your colony?" Serenity asked

"Ok, I guest I'm going to have to tell you all. Will when I was a new born pup I was lost or abandon by my colony, but a female graywing named Jackie toke me in. It was about one year ago when she got sick. She always told me that some how I was just lost that no one would have abandon me. After she died I got mad and went to the stream to get rid of my anger. The next thing I knew I was caught in a net. Two male humans put some neatly in my side and I fell asleep. When I woke up I was on the ground with this golden band on my forearm. I tried to get it off but I couldn't, so I went to see if the graywing elders could help, but they drove me away. I found this place and made it my home. I've been hear for three month tomorrow."

"You have a golden band?" He looked up at Serenity face as she heeled out her wing. "Ponyboy and Johnny got banded to, but by human female and they were awake. That's why we are not part of a big colony."

"Ok, why are you all so far west?" Pepsi asked. Pony told him are story. "So you got to save the sun."

"I know it sounds crazy, but we got to save it" Pony told him

"May I come?" Pepsi asked.

We looked up at him in surprise "Sure we could use some more help" Alister said

That day Pepsi, Darry and I started to talk.

"The night Soda here was brought home I remember here mom cry that she had lost one of her pups. When I asked what she meant she said that she had dropped her pup and could not find him. She told me his name was Pepsi-cola. And that he was Soda's twin." Darry told us.

"One thing about Jackie was she could name anything with it right name." Pepsi said.

"You two do look alike."

"I always thought twins look different." I said remember Alister and Steve.

"Not all twins are like Alister and Steve, Soda"

"We are leave tonight and you guys need to sleep." We look up to see Ponyboy grin like ol' Two-Bit.

"Ok, but you need to sleep to Ponyboy" I said to him. And the Colony slept the rest of the day way.
