Ponyboy P.O.V
It was a few minutes later when I heard someone calling my name. "CURTIS! GET YOUR BUTT IN HERE IT'S ALMOST SUPPER!" I knew that voice. It was Mark calling me. I walked out of the bedrooms we have and walked to where I heard the voice. "There you are! I thought we were going to have to call a search party for you! Here I swiped you a pudding cup from the kitchen." "Ha ha very funny Mark oh and thanks!" "What were you doing anyway?" "I was writing a letter for home. Why?" "Umm because Sargent said we were getting shipped off tomorrow because it's getting really bad out there. They said they were going to draft more people. But they said they only draft one person in each family so don't worry." I guess he saw my expression of worry and scared by what he said. Well thank God they're not going to draft Soda or Darry.

Before I got in the plane we all got our letters from back home. I got mine finally! It said:
Dear Soldier Ponyboy Michael Curtis, (A/N: this letter is in sections first is Soda then Darry then Two-bit then Johnny then Steve then Dally.)
Pony, I miss you something awful. We all do. How are you doing? We heard they're drafting more people because it's bad. I hope you're not going there yet. Please to get too badly hurt. Please try not to get yourself killed. I hope you are alright in training camp. Your friends sound nice. Please keep that promise of you guys having each other's backs out in war. Come back home soon, Sodapop
Ponyboy are you alright in training camp? Are you and your new friends really going that soon? I hope you can get delayed and stay at camp a little while longer so you can get stronger. Please use your head out there and not daydream. We don't want a call saying you're daydreaming and got yourself klled. We miss you. Please come home safe and sound, Darry
Hey young grease head how are ya? I hope you're doing fine. We miss you and yes that is including Stevie boy. We better not get a call saying you died and that crap. I miss watching mickey mouse with you and playing poker even though I always win. I hope you come back to us soon, Two-bit
Pone, how are you? I miss you something awful. You gave us all a scare for leaving in two weeks. Darry and Soda almost went to training camp to drag you home. I wish they did. The socs are leaving us alone for once. I hope you're doing alright buddy please come home to watch a movie with me and Dal. Your buddy, Johnny
You better come home kid. Sodapop and Darry are worried sick. They want to be in your spot right now so they could keep you home. Sodapop and Darry are working a lot of hours so they weren't in the house much. Steve
Kid, you better come home to us. We all miss you something awful. We want you home soon. Are thay really making you go to war in 2 weeks? You better come out alive. When you get home me, you and johnnycakes are going to see a movie together. See ya later kid, Dally
We all were allowed to call home to tell our families were leaving to war. It was my turn to call. I picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. It rang 2 times until Dally answered. "Hello?" "Dally it's me Ponyboy." "PONYBOY! Hold on alright?" "yeah but hurry up I got to leave soon." Then I heard some background talking. This is all I heard:
"Yo, listen up I got someone special on the phone to talk to ya'll." Then I heard every one say "Who is so special to interrupt our poker game?" "It's Soldier Ponyboy Michael Curtis." Stated Dally. "WHAT!" Then I heard the phone shuffle, some muffled voices and shouts. "Pony, you're currently on speaker phone with Dally, Sodapop, Darry, Steve, Johnny and I." Said Two-bit "Hey guys I don't have long to talk. My friend just told me yesterday right when I finished the letter that we were getting shipped off sooner than we expected" Sodapop spoke up and said, "When pone?" "in exactly 5 minutes. We were allowed to call home if we were shipped off today." "WHAT!" they all yelled exploding my eardrums. "CURTIS COME ON WERE LEAVING!" yelled my Sargent "Ok I'm coming!" I yelled back "I have to go bye guys! I'll write soon. Then I hung up and headed for the plane. Man is this going to be a long plane ride or what. I thought as I sat down

A few hours later we were landing but I saw fighting out my window and men falling on the dirt ground. Our Sargent, Sargent Walkings stood up and said, "Men get in a line and I will hand you a dagger extra bullets and a rifle. Your rifle is your friend. Use it well, don't get killed and stay with your friends." Then he started handing out the items.
