We arrived at the abandoned church. 

Me and Ponyboy woke up to Johnny gone. He wrote on the dirt saying he went to get some food. 

Johnny got back with a wooden box. 

"What'd you get?"

"Loaf of bread, week supply of baloney, playing cards for entertainment, some peanut butter-"

"Gone With The Wind? How'd you know I was wantin' Gone With The Wind?"

"You said somethin' about it once. You wanted to see the movie, remember?"

"I hate reading," I said.

Pony picked up a black glass bottle.

"Peroxide? Johnny, you mean-"

"Pony, we need to change our looks. I gotta cut my hair and wash all the grease out, you and Jackie's gotta bleach and cut yours."

"I can't bleach it blonde, Mom'll kill me!" I said.

"Come on Jackie, it'll be worth it. It's our looks or us."

"Go ahead," Pony groaned.

Johnny got his blade out.

"Use mine, it's sharper," I said.

"Fine."

Johnny cut Pony's hair with my blade.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"Quit gabbin'."

Soon, Pony's hair was blonde and shorter. He looked better with black hair.

"It really makes me look tuff," Pony said.

"Ok, go ahead. Get your jollies."

"My pleasure."

Johnny gave Ponyboy my blade and cut his hair.

"Be nice."

Johnny was gabbin' like Pony was.

"Ow, that hurts man!"

"This's your bright idea smarty."

Johnny was done.

"Ok, Jackie, last but not least."

"Ok, be easy!"

"I'll try my best."

Pony cut my hair. My hair went from long to my butt to short to my shoulders. It hurt like hell but it was worth it. I bleached my auburn hair. I now looked like Marylin Monroe.

"You look like Marylin Monroe!" Pony said.

"You read my mind Pony!"

"Same hair and just as pretty."

"Aww aren't you sweet!"

I kissed Ponyboy on the cheek. He blushed. That was so cute! All the boys are cute but I always had my eyes for Two-Bit.
