The prequel to: Stay Away From My Kid Brother, is right here! This is also the 2nd Fanfic out there in The Outsiders fandom (so far) that is relied solely on reviews alone. If you enjoyed the last story then I know you guys will love this! A bunch of cute, little Greasers running around, aaaaaaawwwwww.

Rules:

1.) Enjoying the story? Then write out in a review of what you would like to see happen or contribute. NOTE: The Curtis Parents are alive in this fic, as well as Johnny and Dallas.

2.) You do not have to sign in but it would be much appreciated if you did, because sometimes anonymous reviews take a few days and I don't see it and then I get pissed off reviewers messaging me asking me why I didn't use their idea.

3.) NOT ALL Ideas can be family friendly but remember: they are children, not teens in this story.

4.) You are free to put yourself in the story if you'd like, but don't expect to stick around for more than a chapter (unless requested again)

5.) Do not expect you idea to be in a chapter right away, it might take one or two more chapters.

ENJOY EVERYONE :)

I don't own The Outsiders, S. E. Hinton does.

Prologue

Sodapop and Darry Curtis watched in amazement as their mother held the tiny baby in her arms. It was their little brother. Although they were told the baby would be a little girl, but they still loved the tiny being with all their hearts.

"What's his name, Daddy?" Darry asked.

Darrel Curtis smiled, sitting next to his wife on the hospital bed. "We've named him Ponyboy." Sodapop's eyes glittered. This was his little brother. That means he was a big brother, like Darry.

Ponyboy's nose wrinkled and his face flushed, a sign he was waking up. "Oh, look, Darrel, his eyes are opening." Stacy Curtis beamed. Sodapop didn't take his eyes off his little brother and watched as Ponyboy opened his emerald green eyes, gazing at his big brothers.

Sodapop grinned, reaching out to his little brother. Ponyboy responded by clutching his tiny hand around Soda's finger.

"I love you, Ponyboy." Sodapop said for the first time. And he did. He loved his baby brother with all his heart.

Soon a nurse came into the room and had to take away Ponyboy so they would weigh and measure him, but Soda couldn't stand for it. He wanted to see his little brother some more. So Darrel took both boys out of the room so his wife could rest and his two children could watch their brother through the window.

Soda smiled, pressing his nose against the glass as he watched the nurses bathe and dress his little brother. "He's cute, Darr." Soda stated.

Darry nodded, "Yeah. He is. He's small too."

Sodapop nodded.

"So . . . . we gotta' protect him."

That confused the tiny blonde boy. He looked up at his big brother. "From what?" He asked. Soda was a big brother now. That means he had a lot more duties to fulfill. Darry shrugged.

"Monsters, I guess."

Soda's eyes popped open. "M-monsters?!" Soda pressed his hands against the glass, giving a worried glance at his babbling little brother who was enjoying his first bath.

No! No monster are gonna get my Pony! He swore.


"Um. . . . Soda?" Stacy looked down at the ground. It's been three days since Ponyboy was born and today they got to bring him home. However, when Stacy was trying to put Ponyboy to sleep, Sodapop was demanding that he stayed in the room with his little brother.

"I wanna' sleep in here!" the boy cried.

Stacy sighed, setting her little one in the bassinet next to her and her husband's bed. Darrell had to re-paint the room from pink to something more suitable for a boy so Ponyboy would be sleeping with them for the next few weeks.

"I know you want to see the baby some more, honey, but he's sleeping," Stacy tried to reason. "You can see him tomorrow."

"No!" Soda crossed his arms. Why didn't his mother understand? He has to protect Ponyboy from monsters that might eat him.

Stacy groaned, calling for her husband.

A minute later, Soda was being put to bed in his own room. "Now, look. Soda, Mommy is tired and so is the baby. We have to let them sleep, you can see your brother tomorrow, alright?"

Soda nodded. When Darrel kissed Soda's forehead goodnight and left the room, was when Soda began to wait.


Soda tip-toed as quietly as he could in his parent's room. He came to the white bassinet where his brother slept. He smiled and nearly cooed at the sight of his baby brother sleeping all bundled up in a soft blue blanket and pajamas.

Maybe if I slept with him, then no monsters would come. That's what Darry always did with me.

Sodapop lifted is leg and began to climb into the bassinet, he didn't get far though and once he managed to fit his butt so he could sit down, the bassinet couldn't handle all the extra weight and there was a loud crack, snap and then the whole thing broke, sending Soda and the baby falling to the floor.

Now, Soda was in his room, grounded from chocolate cake for the next week while his mother and father tried to put a screaming Ponyboy back to sleep.

"Oh well, at least I know there's not a monster in there." Soda reminded himself.


What do you all think? :) Chapters will be longer than this, I promise. Remember: REVIEW for your idea to become a chapter.
