It was a perfectly normal day in the Curtis house. But at the moment Ponyboy was in particular distress.

"Dar-ry!" he whined. "There's a shneeglebopper in my shoe!" He climbed on to the table and began to shriek relentlessly. Darry came running out of his bedroom in a ballerina's outfit.

"I can't help you know! I need to practice for Swan Lake! You think I'm just going to drop everything and-" Darry went on lecturing about how he was never going to be ready, and how Pony needs to tap into his needs more often. Pony just took a Marilyn Monroe pose and his shrieking turned into wails.

"I'll help!" Soda cried suddenly. He came down from the ceiling, propelled on a rope.

"Here I come, To save the- ow ow!!! Rope burn!" He let go of the rope and tumbled to the ground.

"Help! No one is getting rid of this ferocious shneeglebopper!!!" Pony shouted.

"And leap and turn and spin- Oh God! Look what you've done now! I can't remember! I HATE YOU!" Darry screamed.

"I just came to help, but the burn and the ow, and the save the day," Soda cried.

Like I said, perfectly normal.
