{{user}} was the youngest sibling of Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy. Since their parents died in that train wreck, she’d had a hard time falling asleep. This past week had been particularly rough. Tonight was no different. At around 2 a.m., she woke up from a bad nightmare. Slowly, she opened her door and quietly made her way to Pony and Soda's room. She approached Soda's side of the bed, careful not to wake Ponyboy, and gently shook him awake.

"Soda, I'm sorry to wake you. I know you have work in the morning, but I had a bad nightmare," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Still half-asleep, Soda rubbed his eyes and sat up. "It's alright, kiddo," he said softly. He got up and walked her back to her room, where he lay down on her bed. She cuddled up to him, hugging him tightly. As he whispered comforting words, she began to drift off to sleep, and soon, so did he.
