Ponyboy P.O.V

Three months have gone by too quick. Tomorrow morning I have to go back to 'Nam. I walked in the living room rubbing the sleep out of my eyes seeing the gang playing poker. Two-bit looked up and said, "Hey Pone, wanna play?" "No thanks maybe later. I'm going for a walk. I'll be back later." Darry looked up from his hand and said, "Ok Pone don't be out too late ya dig?" "Ya I dig. Bye guys."

I got home to see the gang still playing poker. "Hey guys have you been playing all day?" Steve looked up and replied, "Yep pretty much kid." "I'm going to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow." "Why kid?" That was from Two-bit. "Because I have to go to 'Nam tomorrow remember?" "Oh."

I got up at 8:30 this morning so I could have break feast and go to HQ on time. I saw the gang STILL playing poker. "Is that game addicting or what guys? Have you been playing all night?" Two-bit looked up and saw my outfit and his eyes widened. The gang saw his face and turned to see why he was looking like that. They followed his gaze and their eyes widened as well. Soda got up and stumbled over to me. "P-pony are you going to HQ now?" "Yes they have break feast there." Ok I guess I lied a teeny bit. I'll just eat on the plane I thought. I grabbed my bags and dog tags and headed for the door. The gang followed right after. I was walking this time because it's not that far from here and plus I need the exercise. "PONY! Where are you going?" Johnny yelled. I turned to see the gang and said, "I'm going to HQ like I said. I have to be there earlier than last time." Then I turned back and started walking again with the gang on my heels. I walked a little while longer until I saw the sign I saw the last time I was here. It said: Tulsa war headquarters all drafted soldiers go into the back door to sign in!

The gang walked in with me to find I was already signing in. the same lady with all make-up on her face was at the front desk. "Soldier Ponyboy Michael Curtis ma'am" "Welcome back soldier! Get in the jeep or you will be late!" "Thank You." I walked out of the room and into the parking lot seeing the camouflage jeep in the middle. I put my bags in the bed of the jeep and got inside.

3rd Person P.O.V

The gang saw Ponyboy get in the jeep without saying a word. The gang felt guilty of not paying attention to him. They just sat at the table playing poker every day. Ponyboy was glad to go back to 'Nam because of the excitement. The jeep roared and groaned until it started pulling out of the parking lot.

The gang watched as the jeep got smaller and smaller. When the jeep was not seen any more they headed for the Curtis house. When they reached the house they walked in and sat down at the table. Steve picked up the cards and started shuffling them. When he shuffled them he dealt them to the gang while humming.

Ponyboy P.O.V

It took a few hours to get to Tulsa to 'Nam. When I got there it was the same scene as the first time I was coming here. Men were falling to the ground, bullets flying everywhere, Guns dropping, daggers stabbing, and blood dripping and flowing. Oh this will be fun! I thought and headed out to the battle zone.

I was looking for the other gang while watching my back for any sneak attacks. I was lucky this time. I found them and started helping them. We were shooting like there was no tomorrow. Suddenly we were being pulled farther in the woods away from the rest of our troops. It was just Mike, Mark, Dan, Chris, Tom, I and our enemies.

We each got our own guy to handle. I had a buff looking guy with brown hair and a tall build; this wasn't going to be easy. It was a little bit later and my guy ran off. What a coward for a tough build. Then suddenly I saw the others leave and forgetting me while my guy came back and tackled me to the ground with a dagger inches away from my neck. I wanted to scream but that would just bring joy to the enemy. Then I got a blow to my head and fell. I was blacking out. The last thing I saw was the guy and others were tying me up.

A/N: ooo a cliffy! Haha. I love writing this story. I hope you guys have fun reading it. I like to feel my characters emotions and try to make things realistic. I will update soon but for now please R&R. keep up with the reviews thanks!
