"Alright, what the hell happened?" Darry said as he ran towards Sodapop. He was hanging around a big oak tree with a thick trunk and healthy, green leaves.

"Ponyboy got stuck," Soda said as he pointed to the tree, "and we can't get him down."

Darry sighed then looked up at the tree. There he saw his youngest brother clinging to a branch like a cat.

"How the hell- Ponyboy! How did you get up there?"

"I was just climbin' and I can't get down." A breeze blew through the branches of the tree, which made Ponyboy sway and tighten his grip on the branch he was on. Darry facepalmed then looked over at Soda.

"Go call around and see if anyone has an air mattress." Soda nodded then went to go find an air mattress. Ponyboy remained hugging the branch, and Darry stood underneath in case his brother fell.

Sodapop and Steve showed up after few minutes later with an inflated air mattress. They put in under the part where Ponyboy was stuck, and once they were sure it was positioned correctly, Darry told Ponyboy to let go.

He landed on the mattress with a thud. Ponyboy was a little sore, but uninjured. Soda breathed a sigh of relief and crouched next to Ponyboy.

"Never climb a tree again." He helped Ponyboy up. Steve said something about how Ponyboy was stupid for getting stuck, and Darry made sure Ponyboy was unscathed. They went home after.

(It's short but at least it's something)
