Thanks to Cathy for being a great beta, and helping me become a better writer.

Disclamer: I do not own The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Nor do I own the song "Waiting on the World to Change" by John Mayer.

Chapter2: The Prediction

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

John Mayer

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping a sweet melody. It was still very quiet. Everyone was still aspleep inside the house. I got out of bed quietly, trying not to disturb Soda. I got dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and was about to go out of the room but when I saw Soda's face, I stopped.

He looked young, vulnerable. Almost innocent-like. He looked like he was fifteen years old without a care in the world. Like he wasn't a dropout working at a gas station. Maybe we all looked like that when we sleept. Even Darry.

I crept out of the room slowly, making sure I closed the door lightly. I walked through the living room and towards the front door. I opened it to find that the sunrise glimmers were almost gone. I padded my way outside on the porch.

The faded pinks and yellows were almost gone. Still, it was beautiful. It was almost wispy, like small waves at the ocean. It was still innocent. Still gold.

And as soon as it appeared, it vanished. I let out a sigh knowing that all good things had to come to an end. No matter how much you didn't want them too.

I traced my steps back inside the house and into the kitchen. I went through the refrigerator in search of some eggs. Once I found them, I started to cook in the different ways. I knew how everyone liked them.

In the midst of my cooking I heard a door open and rough, heavy footsteps traveling through the house and head into the kitchen. Without turning around, I guessed the individual.

"Mornin', Darry." I greeted.

"Morning," Darry's gruff voice responded.

I reached up to the cabinet and grabbed a plate, and started to put some eggs on it. "You want some breakfast?" I turned around with his plate in my hand.

"Sure. Thanks Pony," he said and took the plate to sit down at the tale.

I got another plate out and put some eggs on it for myself and sat down. I didn't feel like eating, but I knew Darry would be on my case if I didn't eat.

I still was skinny from what had happened. I didn't like to think about it still. It was fresh, like an open wound.

I was in the midst of my thoughts and playing with my eggs, when Darry's voice cut through my thoughts.

"You're up early," Darry said.

Still playing with my food, I shrugged.

"Are you feeling alright?" Darry probed again.

"I'm fine Darry, quiet your worrying," I pointed out to him.

He got up from the table and ruffled my hair. "Yea, yea. Keep close to the boys today, just to be safe."

About that time, Soda came running down the hall and into the kitchen only claded in jeans and a muscle shirt.

"Good morning world!" He exclaimed.

I laughed softly at my brother's antics. I didn't know how he could be so happy in the morning.

"Slow down there little buddy, before you break your neck." Darry chuckled.

"Aw come on. Why slow down, when today is going to be the best day of our lives!" He said humorously.

I laughed to myself at his silly prediction. I couldn't understand his optimistic thinking. Even when things went bad, you could always count on him.

As I got up to throw out the full plate of eggs, Soda was coming to the table with his own plate of eggs. He stopped once he saw what I was doing.

"You not hungry Pony?" His optimistic voice fleeing to a concerned tone.

I did the same thing I did to Darry; I shrugged my shoulders.

"Are you sick?" He asked in a concern tone.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine Soda."

He looked at me with his brown eyes filled with concern for me. Then he sat down and started to eat. I threw out my eggs and started toward my room to get a book that I needed. Once I got the book I headed out into the hallway.

"Did Pony have a rough night last night? Any nightmares?" Darry whispered.

I stopped where I was to hear the conversation.

"No, he didn't have a rough night. Do you know why he was up early this morning?" Soda equally asked.

"He didn't say. I'm worried about him. He didn't eat hardly anything. He still is too skinny from what happened."

"Hello Curtis's!" A loud voice broke the whispering silence.

"Two-Bit, you do you have to yell so loud, we're right here." Darry sighed.

"What's going on?" Two-Bit's voice had gone down a few levels to just an inside tone.

"Just talking and worrying about Pony. Make sure he eats something reasonable today." Darry told Two-Bit.

"Sure, I'll make sure the kid eats something. Scouts honor." Two-Bit said.

I rolled my eyes and chuckled, knowing that Two-Bit was anything but a scout.

Soda chuckled too at the line, also finding it funny. "Hey, Two-Bit, have you heard from Steve this morning?"

"Last I heard he was taking Miss Evie to breakfast this morning. If you know what I mean." He laughed.

"Idiot," Darry mumbled.

Soda and Two-Bit were both laughing at the comment and Darry's reaction. I took that time to enter the living room.

"Hey kid, ready to jet out of here?" Two-Bit said noticing me.

"Yea, I 'm ready." I took my book and grabbed my backpack.

"Ponyboy," I heard Darry call before I left the house.

"Yea?"

"Make sure you eat some lunch, all right." He looked toward me, making sure his message got through to me.

"Alright, don't worry I will. See you later," I told him. I walked outside to join Two-Bit outside.

"Ready?" Two-Bit asked.

"Yea." We started toward his car. "You know, Soda said this would be the best day of our lives."

"Is that right? I do feel a change in the air." He took his finger out and licked it then put out away from him. "Yep, I do believe that today is going to be the best day of our lives."

I laughed at him. "You're crazy," I said as he got into the car.

And maybe they were both right. That maybe things will change.

That today will be the best day of our lives.

Well I hope you liked it. Will that day be the greatest day of their lives? You will have to wait and see. :)

Thanks for reading and please review!! At least five reviews please.
