The boys were able to bring Pony home. They had tried almost everything to wake him up on the way home, but nothing had worked. Everyone was set onto Ponyboy. They were all worried and scared. On the other hand, Darry had mixed emotions. He was mad, upset, scared, and worried.

Ponyboy was lying on the couch in the family room.

Darry was getting a small dinner together while Two-Bit, Steve, and Sodapop continued to try and wake up Pony. Ponyboy's scars had stopped bleeding. His face was beginning to return to its original color. Soda softly spoke to his brother. "Come on Pone, you're alright. Please wake up. You're scaring us."

"Hey, Pone." A voice said. Ponyboy was able to turn around and faced the person behind him. The lights dimly showed the face that only belonged to Johnny Cade. "Hey Johnny." Pony said back. Johnny stopped in front of his friend. "It's time to wake up, Pony." "Wake up?" Ponyboy asked.

"Wake up. You've been out cold for a while now." Johnny answered.

Pony ran his hand through his hair. "How much do you remember?" Johnny asked. "All I remember was talking to Paul, and then everything went white." Pony said. Both boys sat down against the wall. "Damn, Paul's a real jerk, huh?" Johnny spoke up. Ponyboy nodded. "Yeup."

"Why isn't it the youngest of the Curtis brothers with Mr. Johnny Cade?" A voice had traveled down the hall. Dally was walking up the hall. "Hey Dal."Both boys said. Dally sat beside the boys. "Hey Ponyboy, you've really gotta wake up." "Yeah Pone," Johnny said. "Time's up. You have to wake up."

Wake up. Wake up. WAKE UP!

Soda, Two-Bit, Steve, and Darry were around Ponyboy. They all prayed that he would be alright.

Pony's eyes slowly opened. The pain from cuts all over his body began to throb. Ponyboy saw his brothers and friends hovering over him. Soda slowly smiled. "Hey there sunshine." He said softly. Pony slowly began to sit up. Darry and Steve cautiously helped him up. Soda sat next to Ponyboy. "How're you feeling?" "Tired." Pony said quietly. "Take him to bed, maybe he'll feel somewhat better tomorrow." Darry said. Soda helped Pony off of the couch and both brothers headed to their bedroom. Pony slid under the covers and sighed.

"Night Pone." Soda said, walking out of the room.

"Wait," Pony spoke up. Soda turned to his brother.

"What is it?"

"What happened? I don't remember anything."

"We can talk in the morning. Night Pony." Soda said. Sodapop left his brother in the darkness of their bedroom. Ponyboy closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.

"The kid's out cold?" Two-Bit asked softly. Soda nodded. "Yeup." "I'm heading home. Later guys." Steve walked out of the Curtis home. "Same here, bye." Two-Bit walked out into the cold night. Soda and Darry ate a small dinner and headed to bed.

The next morning was quiet. Ponyboy was first awake. He cooked some food and left some for his brothers. He sat on the couch and ate the food on his plate. He didn't turn on the television or even read a book. Just complete silence.

Darry walked by the table and saw Pony. "Morning Pone, you're up early." "Yeah, I know. I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep." Pony said. Darry found the plate of food on the counter near the stove. He walked back out and sat at the table. Ponyboy stood up and put his plate in the sink. He then walked into the bathroom and looked over the damage on his face from the previous day. His cuts were healed, his bruise was going down, and his face was its regular color.

On the other side of the story, Darry was done with Paul. Last night was his final words to him. He didn't expect Paul to call or hang out or anything else after yesterday.

When the phone rang, Darry got up and answered it. "Hello?" Darry said into the phone.

"Darrel." It was Paul.

Before Paul said another word, Darry hung up the phone.

"Who was it?" Ponyboy asked. "Paul." Darry replied. When Darry fully turned around, he found Soda eating his plate at the table. "Hey Sodapop." He greeted. Soda waved with a piece of bacon in his hands. "Hey Dar."

"Hey Ponyboy!" Dallas and Johnny shouted. Ponyboy saw his two friends running up to him. "Hey guys!" Pony shouted back. When Dally and Johnny got to him, Dally patted him on the back. "You look like a fucking wreck, but you did it, kid."

"What do you mean?" Pony asked.

"You saved your brother from being a Soc!" Johnny said.

Ponyboy soon caught on.

"You've always needed a little bit of time for it to click." Dallas said. "Hey Dal," Pony said. "What now? What is gonna happen?" Dally shrugged his shoulders.

"Life'll take you where ever the hell it wants it to take you." Johnny spoke up.

Ponyboy said his final good-bye to his best friends and they left his day dream.

Ponyboy snapped out of his day dream.

"Come on Pone!" Darry shouted from outside. The car horn was honking outside of the house. Pony rushed out of the house. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" he shouted back. When he hopped into the car, the boys drove off. They were spending the entire weekend together.

The Curtis brothers are back.
