My first FanFic!

Please review and tell me what you think of the story so far!

I do not own Stand By Me or any of the other characters thought up by Rob Reiner and Stephen King! Only Violet Tessio!

Chapter 1. Yeah, I'm a Tessio...

Yeah, I'm a Tessio.....

My name is Violet, (you're laughin' now, wait til ya' hear my last name!) V for short.

Violet Tessio.

I know what you're thinkin' "Tessio??? WHAT?!"

Yeah, Tessio. Second child. Vern bein the third. I'm only 6 minutes older....

Vern's my twin, yup. I'm real close to him, but then again, I'm pretty close to Charlie too. I'm the only Tessio girl, so I don't get a lot of shit.

All the Cobras love me. They pick on poor little Vern-o, but they just gobble me up. Even Ace and Eyeball...especially Ace and Eyeball.

"Hey sweetie, whatcha lookin' for?" Eyeball ruffles my hair as I search behind the sofa.

"Just my mitt. I'm plain' ball with the boys today," I tell him, looking up from beneath the coffee table.

"Well, just go over to my place and have Chris fetch ya' mine," he took a drag from his Winston as he sat on the arm of my couch.

"Ya' waitin' on Charlie? And could you not smoke in the house please? I don't want my ma thinkin' it's me 'cause we all know she wouldn't suspect Vern" I smiled at him and he got up.

"Sure sweetheart, whatever ya' want" he went into my kitchen and put his cig out in the sink.

"Thanks Richie," I quickly ran over and kissed his cheek.

He hated being called Richard, his name before "Eyeball", but I always got away with it. Especially since I never said it 'round any of the Cobras, other than Charlie, and Ace on some occasions.

"No trouble darlin', and keep that glove for ya' self. God knows I don't use it," he sat on my countertop.

"You got it," I called as I headed outside in my shorts and baseball cap, white t-shirt from Charlie's drawer, and white converse.

My hair's jet black. Just like Charlie's. Vern's hair is pretty dark, more like my Momma's though; dark, dark brown. I may be Vern's twin, but I look more like Charlie.

Weird huh? I know.

I ran to the Chambers home and knocked on the door. I knew Vern, Teddy, and Gordie were already at the park, but Chris was still home. He opened the door.

" Hey what're you doin' here?" he scratched his head, bat in hand.

"Couldn't find my mitt, Rich told me to take his." I stated simply.

"It's so weird that my brother actually cares about you," Chris said as he went to the hall closet, inviting me in, "he's not creepin' on you either!" He exclaimed incredulously.

"What's so wrong with that?" I protested.

Throwing me the mitt and heading out the door he said, "Well for starters: you ain't a bad lookin' girl," he eyed me swiftly, "second: you're sweet, he always takes away that reputation, along with innocence." He put his hand on my shoulder, "and third: you're best friends with all of us."

I couldn't help but smile and hugged him.

"Plus, you call him by his actual name. You know he actually likes that shit?" he raised an eyebrow, "only from you though! So odd!"

"Odd as a cod," I said smiling, stealing Teddy's usual quip.
