As much as i wish i did i don't own the outsiders:(

Pony:Why does Jen get a normalish name?

Me: I'M ASKING THE QUESTIONS HERE!


I sighed and walked down the dimly lit street on the East Side of Tulsa, Oklahoma I couldn't wait to get back home and see them. Soon the house came into view and I small smile broke out on my face, I was finally home. After mom and dad died my oldest brother sent me to live with our Soc of a Great Aunt Margret because he didn't think it was right for a girl to live with her three brothers and whichever one of the gang needed a place to stay for the night. I was mad at first but I eventually got over it when I graduated high school last month, I was seventeen now and going back to live with them. I opened the front door; it was unlocked as usual even at night and walked into the living room which I knew would be filled with the guys. I recognized Two-Bit sitting on the floor watching Mickey Mouse and Johnny along with Ponyboy were sitting on the couch talking, they didn't notice me for a few moments until I spoke. "Um, hey Pony, guys." They looked up and Pony ran over to me. "Jen, your home!" Johnny exclaimed and I was pulled over to sit between the two of them, I had always been the mother figure to those to and I would kill anyone who hurt them even if it was Darry or Soda. "Yeah and I'm stayin' this time Johnny, I already graduated so there ain't nothing to stop me and no way Darry can refuse." I was grasped in a hug by the two younger boys and I held them tight, this is what I had missed. "So where are Soda and the rest of the guys?" Two-Bit piped up this time. "Steve and Soda are playing poker in the kitchen and Darry is cooking." I smiled and after giving him a quick hug I walked into the kitchen with a small smile on my face. "So who exactly gave you permission to even look at my stove Shayne?" I joked and he turned around which made me burst out in laughter; he was wearing my 'Kiss the Cook' apron. Soda had stood up front the table and was wearing a big grin. "Why if it isn't my baby sister." Soda smirked and hugged me as did Darry and Steve. "I missed you guys so much; it's so good to be home! Darry put the spatula down and back away from the stove, let me go change into my pajamas." I was tired of wearing these heels every day! Great Aunt Margret made me wear heels and a dress every day and even had me homeschooled but I stayed a greaser at heart. I hurried upstairs and changed in Darry's room into a pair of booty shorts and a spaghetti strap top and pulled the front part of my carefully and elegantly curled hair back with a clip before walking downstairs and making Darry go away so their dinner would be edible and made all the guys except Soda go into the living room, I loved to cook! I was frying some homemade fries on the stove when a familiar voice echoed through the house "Hey, guys! Who wants to go to The Dingo?" and the front door slammed. I heard a hoot and a bunch of agreements before heavy footsteps came and the same voice laughed a bit as he entered the kitchen, "Well, well, well, looks like Sodapop has himself a new girl!" I heard Soda sputter at this and smiled to myself. "She is not my girl! That is way beyond disgusting!" I rolled my eyes. "Gee, nice to know how you really feel about me Sodapop Patrick Curtis." I used his full name as revenge and I heard the guy laugh and walk closer to me. "Oh shut your mouth Jen! Gosh you gone and told Dally and now he'll tell the whole of East Side!" It took me a moment to process the name but I whipped around to find those haunting blue eyes staring at me and I wanted to die right then and there, if only it had been anyone but him! But if one thing I had learned living with the Socs it was to keep a strong face and stay civil so that was what I did. "Hello Dally." I mumbled and turned around to continue cooking I was so intense I barely hear Soda ask me if I wanted to go to Dingo's. I denied him feigning being sleepy from just arriving and after the crew ate they left, leaving me alone to relax and think.
