Since everyone else likes fighting, Ponyboy feels out of place.ĭarry tells him he thinks it's not a good idea for him to go to the fight, since he's "tensed up too much." But Soda says to let Ponyboy come, since there are no weapons. I like it, too." Darry doesn't answer, just gives Ponyboy "one of those looks that hide what he's thinking." But Soda chimes in that Darry likes to show off his muscles, and Ponyboy thinks that's true. When I get in a fight I want to stomp the other guy good. Like a drag race or a dance or something." Steve's answer is because "I want to beat those Socs' heads in. While they wait for Two-Bit to show up, Ponyboy asks the others if they like fighting and why. He, Soda, and Steve use more hair grease than they need to, to maintain their image of toughness. Then he takes a shower to get "spruced up" before the rumble, like he and Soda always do. He can hardly eat because he doesn't feel well, and he sneaks some aspirins when his brothers aren't looking.
Ponyboy gets back to his house at almost six-thirty, late for supper.
