What's happening SPOILER WARNING (in case you are reading her first one): Due to some of Ponyboy's decisions regarding helping the convict, Pony is being sent to a training camp for delinquent boys for nine weeks in the summer. The camp is run by Marines. It's very well-written, and if she only did research to write this I'm very impressed, because you would think the author had been there herself, as well as everything is described. It's a really good read and, like I said, you don't need to know anything about the first story to follow this one. FYI, the author is an as-yet-unpublished romance writer. Liz

	Go, then; there are other worlds than these. If, at his counsel, I should turn aside into that ominous tract which, all agree, hides the Dark Tower. Yet acquiescingly I did turn as he pointed: neither pride nor hope rekindling at the end descried, so much as gladness that some end might be.

	I told Seven the Bartender that true love is felonious. "Not if they're over eighteen," he said, shutting the till of the cash register. By then the bar itself had become an appendage, a second torso holding up my first. "You take someone's breath away," I stressed. "You rob them of the ability to utter a single word." I tipped the neck of the empty liquor bottle toward him. "You steal a heart." He wiped up in front of me with a dishrag. "Any judge would toss that case out on it's ass." "You'd be surprised." Seven spreads the rag out on the brass bar to dry. "Sounds like a misdemeanor, if you ask me." I rested my cheek on the cool, damp wood. "No way," I said.

	"They don't just lean to the Gary Stu side, they bloody topple over from the lopsided weight." - barbarienne from Livejournal, in a discussion regarding John Grisham's main characters. "In their own way, they have us beat. It's like a secret code. They're probably really trying to take over the world and we literate people are out of the loop." - Latch, on fanbrats and bad spelling.

Poor Ponyboy. I know what you mean. I look for that story so often that sometimes it'll say she updated if I click on her profile and look at it, but she just updated it so the new chapter won't show up for a few minutes lol. It's a really great story, and I like the fact that she updates so frequently.
