Here chapter three

Dally lay in his room over bucks trying to figure out why all the guys were so happy, Johnny had died, they should all still be mourning, right? Seeing Pony sitting by himself at the gang union ceremony/Party, yet laughin like his best friend was just late to the party instead of dead, baffled Dally.

"Maybe if i move back to new york things will get better" Dally told himself. Then he started Packing all his stuff. He went to the curtis house to say goodbye to the guys, it was kinda funny that Darry and Tim, of all people, were a couple along With Soda and Two-Bit. Dally admitted that he kinda had a crush on Steve but he never thought Steve would ever feel the same about him. Dally went into the Curtis house, he could hear Pony talking happily to someone, and seemed to be kissing..air? Dally was confused.

"Hey Dal, long time no see" joked Soda

"I'm going back to New York" said Dally Bluntly

"Why?" asked Darry

"Without Johnny, there's nothing left for me here, he was like a little brother to me, what would you do if you lost Soda or Pony?" asked Dally. Pony looked at Johnny whose eyes were wide with shock

"Dally, he's not gone" said Pony softly

"Yes he is, you saw him die, And I know what you're gonna say, he's not gone as long as we remember him, but still I- I miss him" said Dally. Johnny sighed and dropped the invisibility.

"Dally, I'm right here" said Johnny quietly, gently setting his hand on Dally's shoulder.

"J-Johnny? But how? I saw you die" said Dally

"I'm a spirit, I can reveal myself to whoever I want, I'm also married to Ponyboy so he can see me anytime he wants even if I'm invisible to everyone else" said Johnny. Dally pulled Johnny into a hug. Everyone was shocked, Dally never showed this kind of emotion, ever.

"Don't leave me like that again Johnny, I need you, you're like the little brother I always wanted" cried Dally. Johnny smiled and leaned into Dally's embrace. Suddenly Steve came running in

"Guy's Evie just broke up with me because I told her I have a small crush on Dally" yelled Steve. Dally blushed, Steve hadn't realized that Dally was there, but then they made eye contact, both blushing furiously. Johnny let go of Dally, pushing him Towards Steve before he himself went back to Pony, lifting him up and carrying him to their room, figuring those two would need some time to admit their feelings to each other.

"Um, this isn't really how i expected you to find out" said Steve sheepishly

"OH WOULD YOU TWO JUST KISS ALREADY!" shouted Soda. The two teens blushed and kissed, to the cheers of the whole gang, Dally couldn't remember the last time he had been so happy.
