I do not own The Outsiders or any of the characters involved in the story. This story is about the relationship between Dallas and Johnny before Bob (poor Bob) got stabbed and the big fire or anything like that. It accually leads up to Ponyboy's story.


"Johnny, what happened? Are you okay?" Dally said, looking at Johnny with a look of compassion in his eyes. Johnny looked terrible. He had a black eye, along with a gash on his throat and he was limping. He look Johnny over to the couch, and looked around for Darry, Soda, Pony, anybody. He saw Darry, making a chocolate cake in his kitchen.

"Darry, I need a bag of ice." Dally said, going into the kitchen. Darry looked at him, then got a small sandwitch bag and filled it with ice.

" Let me guess," Darry said, not looking at Dally," It's for Johnny."

"Yea, his father beat him bad this time." Dally said, taking the bag to Johnny. He gave the bag to Johnny, and he held it on his eye. He lifted Johnnys legs onto the couch, so he could lay down. Soda and Steve ran into the house, Steve with Soda's shoe. He chased him up the stairs into his and Ponyboy's room, then threw the shoe at him with all of his might.

"Ow!" Soda screamed. He chased Steve back downstairs and into the kitchen. Darry picked up Steve and trew him on the ground, then put his arm up to stop Soda from doing anything else to Steve.

" Stop, both of you. Go see what's wrong with Johnny." Darry said, staring down Soda.

"What's wrong with him?" Steve asked, jumping up.

" His dad beat him, pretty bad." Darry replied, a hint of worry in his voice, but neither Soda or Steve caught it. They were in the living room within seconds.

" I would like to whip him bad. Right after he got jumped too? God..." Steve said, calling Johnnys father every name he could think of.

" He should be alright. I hope." Soda said. He knew Johnny, he could take almost anything.

" Guy's, I will be okay." Johnny said, his voice trying to sound normal. He was hurt, not physically, but emotionally. He wished his parents loved him, like how Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy loved each other.

"Johnny, do you want to go to the Nightly Double with me tonight?" Dally asked. Johnny looked at him and smiled.

" I would love to go."


So, tell me what you think... Do you like or dislike??? BTW this fanfic dosn't have anything to do with a "romance" between Dally and Johnny.
