A/N: Thank you Amanda(guest) for the suggestion. It was kind of general, do I hoped I used it well and how you wanted me too do it.

Soda's POV (morning)

I slept soundly through the night so Ponyboy did not have another nightmare.

I stretched and slipped out of bed, careful not to wake up my sleeping baby brother next to me.

I ran out of the bathroom, trying to save time for some breakfast, but almost running into Darry in the process. He laughed at my face and moved so I could grab something to eat.

Later today the guys were suppose to come over and hang out with Ponyboy to make him feel better. I remember him getting up in the middle of the night and getting sick again, so I knew he still wasn't feeling too hot, but I hoped that Two-Bit and Johnny could make him feel better.

I was busy eating some chocolate cake when I heard rustling coming from my room. I guessed that it was Ponyboy getting up.

I frowned lightly, I was hoping be would sleep in a little. He came out of the bedroom, his hair disheveled and deep bags were present under his green-grey eyes. When he walked by me I tried to straighten his hair. He curled up on the couch, looking ready to fall back asleep. I smiled at his small figure curled up on our old sofa.

"Hey, Sleepyhead wake up." I teased him. He rolled his eyes and looked at me.

"The boys are coming over today, okay?" He nodded, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

Ponyboy's POV

I tried to wake myself up and grabbed some "breakfast" (cough cough) ice cream. I found some just as Two-Bit and Johnny walked in.

"Get in the shower." Two-Bit commanded me. I cocked an eyebrow at him, I didn't smell that bad did I?

"What for? I'm really hungry and I wanna eat before I take a shower." I drawled. Two-Bit shook his head.

"Hurry up and get in the shower already. Grease your hair and everything, okay?" I scowled before going to the bathroom to take a shower.

I greased my hair and brushed me teeth after I got dressed.

I trudged to the already started car. The exhausted burned my already sore throat and I started to cough, hard. Johnny looked at me sympathetically and I shook my head at him, trying to stop coughing.

"You ready Ponyboy?" Two-Bit asked. "We are here." He told me as we pulled up to the…

Cliffhanger!

A/N: Yeah, this chapter sucks, I know. Both my stories' chapters are sucky and short right now. I'm sorry, Writer's block and laziness has settled in. Reviews always help so please send them.

Next chapters we get to see what Two-Bit and Johnny are planning to do to cheer Ponyboy up and make him feel better.
