Summary: This is about how The Outsiders "gang" when they first met..Just my idea of how it might of happened.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Outsiders..sigh..even though I wish I did..(lol) I do however own Jamie Mathews.
Title: Early Beginnings
Two-bit's P.O.V.
"Jamie, Come on let's go!" I yelled starting to run over to the jungle gym where Jamie, My little sister, had wandered off to.
"Keif, Do we hafta?" She asked giving me her famous puppy dog eyes.
"Jamie, dinners ready" I replied glancing toward our house. I saw Mom outside being the worrywort she is.
"Pwese Keif" She asked again with the puppy dog eyes, but now she added a quivering lip. Either I get the demon sister or I get the devil herself (Mom). Decisions, decisions, desisions.
"Jamie..Aren't you hungry?" I pleaded trying to make everyone happy.
"Nop' " She replied trying to climb higher on the jungle gym. This is getting harder and harder. I glaced toward the Mom. Uh-oh She's tappin' her foot.
"Jamie, Don't you wanna watch Mickey Mouse?" I pleaded once more.
"No, Keif, Mama said that I can't have any ice cream, so I'm stayin' here and waitin' fo' Kelly to come and get me fo' dinner at her house!"Man, when she wanted her ice cream she wanted her ice cream!
"Ok, First of all, Mom doesn't know 'bout dinner at Kelly's house and secondly who watches you every night?" I asked.
"You do" She replied unsure of where I was goin' with this.
"Right and is Mom home after 5:00?" I asked suddenly a little proud of myself for thinking of a way to make them both happy.
"No, but I wanna go to Kelly's she got a puppy." Jamie replied pouting.
"Ok, Jamie, How 'bout this we go home, have dinner, when Mom leaves have ice cream, then go visit Kelly for a little while?" I was starting to get mad, She is just as stubborn as me!
"Ok, Keif, Can I have a sundae?" Jamie asked starting to skip home as I followed. I glanced at my Mom, and she looked mad!
"We'll see, Jamie, Listen when we get home go get washed up right away, ok?" I told her knowing all too well that I was gonna be yelled at for bein' a few minutes late.
"Ok, Keif" Jamie replied as we entered the house and started toward the bathroom.
"What took you two so long to come home and almost make me late for work?" Mom yelled as Jamie stopped and looked at her as I was lookin' for a quick answer.
"I sorry Mama, it was my fault, it took a while for Keif to help me get my shoes back on as I had wanted to go in the sandbox." She looked at the ground. Man she had guts and she was a quick thinker.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Keith, it's just that all the stress of having a night job, finalizing the move here, and everything has been killing me lately!" Mom apologized to me.
"It's ok, Ma, I understand I have enough stress from school and watching the munchkin" I smiled and laughed a little as I watched Jamie go down the hall to the bathroom."I can't imagine what you have to go through."
"Keith, Can you set the table while I get dinner out to the table?" She asked as she headed into the kitchen.
"Sure, Ma, What did you make anyway?" I asked following her.
"Oh nothing special just turkey soup" She replied watching me out of the corner of her eyes. I stopped walking and looked at her in surprise.
"Did you make it with 'The Recipe'?" I asked and for those of you who don't know 'The Recipe' is the way my Great-Great-Great-Grandmother made turkey soup and it was passed down the generations to my Mom and This soup was the best I ever had!
"No, I made it with Ol' Man Henry's recipe which include's Eye of Newt, Bat's Wings, and other good stuff like that" She replied as she stirred the soup trying not to smile. Ol' Man Henry was a guy that lived on a dead end street in a haunted house and since we moved here all that this kid named Tim Shepard told me that He could put all sorts of spells on people! I just looked at Mom with dread as I noticed Jamie walk into the Kitchen.
"I think I just lost my appetite!" I exclaimed slowly backing into the living room.
"Keith, I'm only kidding" Mom laughed grabbing the pot off the stove. " You know that I always use 'The Recipe'!"
"Yea, and You wouldn't really use Ol' Man Henry's recipe would you?" I asked uncertainly as I grabbed three bowls.
"Aw, Keif, Don't you like Frog Legs?" She replied sarcasticlly as usual, but I could say anything because I couldn't tell her what else Tim had told me 'bout Ol' Man Henry, not yet anyway. I put the bowls on the table quickly then I snuck up behind Jamie as she was playing with my toy cars. I picked her up and dropped her on the couch and started tickling her.
"Stop...Keif...Please" She replied between laughs.
"Keith! Stop killing your sister" Mom smiled as she spoke over Jamie's laughing.
"Aw..Ma, She likes it. Don't ya Jamie?" I asked My sister as she gasped for air.
"No...Would...you...like...bein'...tickled...almost...every...time...you...turned...around?" She gasped as I slowly my tickling.
"Well, Maybe I would Jamie!" I stopped tickling her and walked toward the dining room table to sit down.
"Um, Keith, May I ask what we are supposed to eat with?" Mom asked smiling.
"I was thinkin' our feet, ya know, since I heard that it's good for a person's health and all." I laughed as I went to get some spoons.
