Things are Going Back to Normal - I Think.

Bloody reporters. All we wanted to do was to see Dally and Johnny, so we waited. Next thing you know, the media's there, pounding us with questions and not letting Ponyboy rest. Man, you'd think life would be easier when your brother's a hero. In any case, Johnny's paralyzed from the hips down, but I'm really not quite sure he'll suvive, sadly. Dally has a few minor burns, but he's generally alright. He'll be fine before the big rumble for sure. Besides, even if he didn't completely heal there's still not a force in the world to stop him from coming to the big rumble. It's Johnny I'm worried about. Ponyboy was real good friends with him, it's going to really hurt him if Johnny passes away. Well, at least Ponyboy's back home.
