The big Rumble

The rumble began with Darry stepping up and saying he'd take on anybody. One of his old football buddies named Paul stepped up to him. Then we heard a voice say "Wait, wait!" It was Dally! As Darry looked over at Dally coming to fight Paul pounded him and the war was on! Everybody took somebody so I took the shortest guy but he was harder to beat than I expected. As I was getting the living daylights punched out of me Darry came over to help me. After that I decided to help Dally because he could only use one arm. Dally's Soc was harder than the guy I had but we double teamed him and that made it a bit easier. As everybody was pounding someone I heard a voice like Two - Bit's say "Look! They're running!" As I looked back I noticed all the Socs piling into their cars and driving off. We had finally beaten the Socs! After that we went to see Johnny at the hospital. When we got there he didn't look good at all. He mumbled a few things to Dally, and then this is what he said to me - "Ponyboy, stay gold, stay gold." Those were the last words I heard from Johnny Cade because he died that night, at the hospital.
