It started happening while Sodapop Curtis was at work at the DX, his head had started pounding something awful and he was slightly dizzy. " you alrigh there buddy? You're a little hot, I don't think you should fight tonight Soda." Steve said reaching out and feeling Soda's forehead not happy with the heat rolling off of it. " I'm fine, it's been a slow day anyways and I can just go home and take a bunch of aspirin before the rumble tonight just don't tell Darry." He practically begged, so much had happened in the past few days with Ponyboy and Johnny coming back and then Johnny in the hospital ( which is why they were doing the rumble in Dallys words " do it for Johnny man." ) Darry was at work and Pony was being "babysat" by Two-bit so he could sneak home and take a nap and some meds with just him alone in the house for a couple hours.
" hey Steve you mind taking the rest of my shift, tell the boss I went home sick ( which wasn't a lie he was indeed sick just had to admit it to himself)

Once soda got home and finally took meds it was almost time for the rumble, he was nervous so he went down where pony, two-bit, and Darry were. Steve was on his way from the DX, " hey y'all what's up?" Soda asked getting weird looks from everyone expecting him to be on his way from work with Steve. " what I came home cause I was tired and it was a slow day anyways so Steve said I could go home early." Soda explained when Steve came in and pulled out some cards. " yo Soda wanna come play poker?."" Sure I'll be right there." Soda called back when Steve asked. Once soda sat down and their game started pony hollered from the bathroom " when did you start shaving soda?" " when I was 13" " and when did Darry?" " when he was 16, why you thinking about growin a beard for the rumble?" Soda joked. When pony walked in the room soda and Steve were arm wrestling while pony was debating with Darry about going to the rumble. " why don't you ever worry bout soda I don't see you lecturing him." Pony complained "well that's one kid brother I don't have to worry about." Darry said rubbing his knuckle on sodas head ( while soda was hoping he didn't notice the heat rolling off of him). By that point they were all running to the vacant lot where the rumble would take place with the socs.

Once they got there they lined up and the socs lined up " Darrell long time no see I wanna take you." A soc who used to go to school with Darrell started throwing punches and it was on, dally had also showed up and it started raining that wasn't helping soda with how he was feeling, while he wasn't paying attention a soc punched him on the side of the face. He could vaguely could see dally and pony running off probably to the hospital to see Johnny. Once all the socs left and the greasers won they all headed back over to the curtisis house to get cleaned up. When ponyboy got home he looked sad. " pony what's wrong?" Darry asked gently which wasn't like him at all he more of the stricter brother, " Johnny's dead we told him we beat the and he just died. Dally can't take it he's gonna blow." Pony informed looking down. Soda knew the kid couldn't handle anymore loss after their parents died in the auto wreck a month ago. After that the phone rang and it was Dally asking if they could hide him because he'd robed a store and the cops were after him. " we gotta go hide dally he's in trouble he'll be at the lot in 15 we gotta go." Darry informed he noticed Soda lag behind a little bit but thought nothing at all of it. They were met by the sounds of sirens and gunshots the cops. When they arrived a dead dally was in the ground soda couldn't take it anymore and passed out he could hear Darry ask if he could hear him and that he was burning up with a fever. He could feel Darry picking him up and carrying him home, when he woke up it was strangely quiet. Their house was never quite there was always a tv blaring or the radio on the highest level, " Darry? Is someone sick?" " yeah somebody's sick little buddy." " am I the one who's sick?" Soda asked " yeah you're the one who is sick." Pony had been at school the whole week while Darry had taken off work to take care of soda. The next day he was more aware but his stomach was still rolling and he knew he probably wouldn't be able to keep anything down, Darry walked in to see Soda awake and trying to get up, " hey Pepsi cola, how ya doin? Been out for a couple days delirious for most of them." Darry stated seeing the confused look on soda's face, at that point pony come home and up to their room not expecting to see Darry and Soda having a conversation and ran up and jumped on the bed and almost tackled Soda back down happy to see that his brother was ok. " you scared the hell outta me you were delirious calling for me or Darry and at some point mom and dad. It's Tuesday you've been sick since Saturday." Pony explained, " oh soot kid what about your court date with you and Johnny killing bob?" Soda asked worried " it's ok it's next week it's ok, you still have plenty of time to rest." Darry said gently pushing Soda back down so he could sleep( even tho that's what he's been doing for three days straight.)
In the end the judge ruled pony not guilty and that he could come home
