Ok so this is my first fan fiction… Helpful criticism is always welcome so please tell me anything you find wrong with my stories. Don't try to save my feelings, because if you don't tell me what I messed up on I can't fix it in the future. I don't in anyway own the outsiders, all the credit goes to S.E. Hinton.

Chapter: 1

Pony POV

I walked out of the house, and slowly closed the door, being as quiet as possible so as to not wake up my two older brothers. I wasn't in the mood to

talk to anyone this morning, even sodapop who was one person I knew I could tell anything to. No it was one of those times when all you want to do is

lose yourself in your thoughts, and not have anyone constantly breaking through them. Knowing I wasn't going to be able to get the quiet I wanted at

home one my siblings where awake the gang started to show up I decided to go for a walk. Today I needed to be able to think about stuff I tried not to

dwell too much on for fear I might start crying in front of someone. Today I needed the freedom to be able to think of two people I had lost exactly a

year ago. My best friend and his idol, Johnny Cade, and Dallas Winston. Small little Johnny who had helped save a group of kids from burning, breaking

his back and burning his body in the process…He had died the next night in the hospital after we had one a rumble against the soc's. He had been the

only thing Dally had loved and after he had lost him Dallas, robbed a gas station, been chased by the police, and pulled an unloaded gun on them. The

cops had shot him down just as the rest of the gang had reached the lot. I walked along the side of the road not remembering everything I had ever

done with those to, only to find hours later I was in the park, not being able to remember how I had gotten there.

"Hey Ponyboy." Two-bit voice came from behind me. I turned to look at the toe heading boy walking over to me.

"Hey" my answer was kind of weak even to my own ears, so I cleared my throat and repeated it, this time with more force and volume.

"What you doing out here kid?" He had reached me now, he had dark circles under his eyes, and his clothes reeked of booze.

"I uh… just felt like taking a walk I guess. You were out all night huh?"

"Yeah. Went to a couple parties… can't remember how many but who's counting right?" he laughed and slugged my shoulder good heartedly.

"No one I guess." I couldn't help but smile at him as he was cracking up about nothing really. "You're out of your mind"

"never claimed to be otherwise kid." He grinned then stiffened and looked over my head, face turning serious. I turned and looked behind me and

turned stiff myself. A gang of soc's where walking towards us, looks of hate on their faces. I knew those guys from another accouterment we had had on

a different night, when I had been with Johnny exactly where I was standing now. That night those guys had turned our lives inside out. There were

less of them now, since Johnny had knifed one and another had left the night of the ruble, but the rest were still mad about losing their buddy and

wanted revenge. Since Johnny was dead that left me to take it out on. Me and whoever was with me.

Ok so I don't know if I'm going to continue or not… I will if I get enough people who like it or think its ok. If you want me to continue please review? Please? Even if you hate it, let me know. Just take one minute and let me know how I did.
