Last time on A Not So Happy Ending:

As soon as Pony got on the plane, Daisy cried.

Daisy pov

So the letters came from an army camp

in California then Vietnam

And he told her of his heart

It might be love and all the things he was so scared of

It's been about a week since the letter from Pony. He normally sent me one every other day. I smiled as I rushed to my mailbox. I quickly opened it and saw one envelope. My smile was plastered on as I quickly got the envelope and opened it.

He said when it's gettin kind of rough over here

I think of that day sittin' down at the peir

And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile

The letter read:

Dear Daisy,

I know it's been a week without a letter, it's just been kind of rough over here. But, I want you to know I think of that day sittin' down at the peir. At night, I close my eyes and see your pretty smile. I can't wait to see your smile in person. Face to face.

Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while

Daisy, it breaks my heart to have to tell you this …don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while

My heart felt like it was going to explode with sadness of not hearing from him. It couldn't take it , but I read on.

I promise I'll come back, and we'll go back down to the peir and have a picnic. I promise. I love you. By the way, Jon says hi and say hi to ma and pa for him. Just remember I love you.

I got to go now, time to get some sleep in while I can. Just know I'll be dreaming of you.

Pony

P.S. I love you.

Tears in my eyes, I rushed over to Soda and Darry.

Soda pov

I held the envelope that said from Pony on it and screamed for Darry to come on.

"Darry! Come on. It's a letter from Pony!"

Darry walked into the living room and sat down in his chair.

"Alright." Darry said and I opened the envelope.

Dear Soda, Darry, and whoever else may be reading this,

It's been kind of rough over here. I know you hate for me to start a letter like that, but it's the truth. I need to tell ya'll something you may not like, at all. Don't worry, I won't be able to write for a while. I'll write as soon as possible. I promise. I got to go, ya know get some sleep in while I can.

Love ya'll.

Pony

P.s. Take care of Daisy when she hears the news, she's probably rushing over there right now.

I heard the door open and I saw Daisy with tears in her eyes. I hugged her and said," he's going to come home Daisy."

Daisy looked unconvinced as I led her to the couch.

" do ya'll want to come to my last football game on Friday? I'm a senior so.."

Darry said,"Yeah, we'd love to."

She smiled and dried her eyes. "thanks for everything. The game is at 7 on Friday."

I nodded and she hugged both, Darry and me. A short while later, Daisy left.

Friday night Daisy pov

One Friday night at a football game

The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang

A man said folks would you bow your heads

For a list of local Vietnam deaths

Darry and Soda looked over at me. I gave them a sad look and listened carefully as he read off the names.

"Ponyboy Michael Curtis Missing in action."

I dropped my piccolo and rushed down past everyone and went under the stands.

Crying all alone under the stands

Was a piccolo player in the marching band

And one name read and nobody really cared.

But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

Soda and Darry found me under the stands crying hard. They were crying too.

"He might still be alive.. they.." Soda started to say but we all felt it. We all felt our hearts breaking. We all cried the rest of the game. I went home with them, because I couldn't bear being alone and they knew the feeling.

I cried

Never going to hold the hand of another guy

Too young for him they told her

Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Our love will never end

Waiting for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone when the letter said,

A solider's coming home…

A knock on the door, Soda and Darry both got up. Then I saw him. The man I fell in love with. I knew he wasn't dead! Pony hugged both his brothers and said," I always keep a promise."

Tears of happiness were coming from my eyes.

"I thought you were.." I cried on his shoulder. I hugged him and kissed him a lot. He had on his uniform.

He smiled at me and said,' What? And miss out on being with you? Never."

That's when he kissed me. I kissed him back. Soda and Darry hugged him a lot too.

"I thought we lost you like we lost mom and dad." Darry cried. Darry NEVER cries so I decided to give them some privacy. I went to the bathroom and fixed my make up.

"Daisy, someone's here at the door for ya." Pony yelled.

I quickly rushed into the living room to find my older brother, Jon, standing next to Pony in his uniform.

"I missed you!" I exclaimed with newformed tears pouring out as I hugged him.

"Missed ya too Sis." Jon hugged me back.

Soda and Darry looked at him and I laughed and said,"My brother."

I knew from then on, that I'd be okay, especially if I had Pony in my life and Jon too. Pony kept his promise, for which we are all thankful. I don't know how I could live without him and I felt in my heart that he felt the same way. So I guess it wasn't a not so happy ending, it in fact was a happy ending.

The End!
