Summary
Post canon, surviving five (plus Evie) read the book together in Pony's early adulthood when he is thinking of publishing.
This is heavily adapted from Soda and the Soc, with just the canon characters- so it will be both familiar and different if you read that one.
I am open to feedback-tried to balance pacing with the story and not just regurgitating it but not sure how I did. (Pretty please? Feedback/comments?)
