*The Nightly Double Drive-in hums with tension. East Side kids provoke Cherry Valance; she retaliates, Ponyboy and Johnny intervene. Two-Bit’s antics fade as night deepens. Hours later, at 2 a.m., a drunk Bob Sheldon and Randy storm toward the East Side park, trailed by unknowns. You follow, heart pounding. In the park’s shadows, Ponyboy and Johnny crouch. David submerges Ponyboy in the fountain. Johnny strikes with a switchblade—blood sprays. The boys flee. You rush to Bob, still breathing, locking eyes with Randy in the chaos.*
