At first PonyBoy was hesitant on how he felt about this “good guy” type of identity, but he knew he’d always be a greaser for the rest of his life, so he went for it. After he finished his project for school, he automatically felt as if his life was changing for the best. His teacher loved his idea and he earned the A+ that he deserved. At home things got better as well.
The parents of Johnny didn’t realize it at first, but after a while they were sorry for their ways and wished that they’d have tried harder at listening to Johnny. Not long after their prayers of apology, out came another baby boy. In honor of their first son that they missed dearly, he was named Johnny the 2nd. The newspaper reporter, who reported Johnny and PonyBoy about saving the church, visited Darry with a brilliant surprise.
An interview happened, the reporter respected Darry’s multiple job recognitions and his reliability with the family to keep them prosperous. He gave him a huge job opportunity to be a reporter and write about his experiences living on the West Side of town. Darry can now look after his family with a steady career, satisfying pay, and the freedom he can spend now with his brothers.
After Dally’s death Two-Bit was in shock, but also knew that he had to get his act together as well. He took his talents of knowing certain weapons and put them to use by working at a nearby blacksmith. At first it was hard to get his Boss’s trust, but after a few days of working with the products he was promoted to the manager of the shop.
Now, of course, you can’t forget about Soda. Soda, as you know, is the one who makes everyone happy. He took his dream to the next level. Even though the gang misses SodaPop they’re also really happy for him. Soda moved down to Nashville, Tennessee, and opened his own ranch where he taught young kids to race horses, like he did when he was a young boy.
Everyone was happy, everyone was set back on the right path. Even though they were all in different situations, they still got together every once in a while, on the holidays, birthdays, or whenever they decided they needed a visit. Every now and then, PonyBoy will still wake up and find one of the greasers on their couch, two-bit, maybe soda on a surprise stop home, you never know what to expect. They miss being with each other every day, they miss being “The greasers.” But, when down, when they miss being with each other, they think about what Randy said that one day “Greasers will still be Greasers” and in their minds, no matter what happens, greasers will always be greasers.
