At the hospital, the reporters and police men bombard the boys with questions. Darry tells them to backoff, and Soda makes them all laugh by joking aorund. Later on, the boys find out that Johnny is in critical condition, and might not live. Pony is very tired and falls asleep in the car. Darry carries him inside. The next morning, he wakes up first and prepares a meal for the other two boys. Two-Bit and Steve come over, and Two-Bit is very happy to see Ponyboy. They show Pony a newspaper article about Johnny and Pony that describes them as heroes. The paper implies that Soda, Darry, and Pony might be split up and that Pony will have to go to court charged with manslaughter. Pony tells Darry that he had a nightmare that he can't remember, like he had the night before his parents died, and Darry is worried. Then, Pony meets Randy in down after he follows him with his blue Mustang. They talk for a while and Pony learns that even the socs have real problems too.
"He's just a guy. He just wanted to talk" This shows that Pony realized that the socs don't have it easy, either. They have different problems, they have problems all the same. They are cool on the exterior, but liek the greasers, it's just a facade. Randy tells pony about how Bob's parents never said no, and how they made him the way he was. If he had boundaries, he might not be dead. Randy doesn't think he could be a hero like Pony, but Pony assures him that he would have made the same decision.
