I don't own the Outsiders but i do own Halley, Arya, Hannah, Aubree and any other characters that don't seem familiar to the book. This is my first fanfic so comments/reviews/tips are welcome.

Chapter 1

Halley's POV

It was Friday night and we were all getting ready to go to the movies for the Nightly Double. Arya was in the bathroom doing her hair and make-up. She got hit with a lot of responsibilities since our parents died. She's only 22. She's tall and thin, with long black hair and dark eyes.

My sister Hannah is 16. She's short and thin, with long, blonde hair and big hazel eyes. She was in the kitchen eating chocolate cake with Johnny Cade, her life-long crush. He has dark hair, slicked back— which is how all greaser guys wear it—and dark skin. He's got these big, fearful eyes—probably from being hit so many times by his old man. They're both incredibly quiet.

I was in the living room, day-dreaming—which I seem to do a lot—when I was suddenly interrupted. "Halley, you gotta finish my hair. The movie is gonna be starting soon," says Aubree. She's only 14, but she looks older than her age. She has beautiful long, brown hair with blonde highlights and blue eyes, the color of the sky on a warm, summer day.

Then there's me. I'm a 17 year old greaser gal, with long, dirty blonde hair and green-blue eyes. I'm about five and a half feet tall and am in pretty good shape. Believe me, I know. I've beaten Two-Bit plenty of times.

"All right, I'm done," I said to Aubree as I was finishing her hair. I looked out the window and saw a car, full of boxes, pull up to the house across the street. The house has been for sale for a few months, and I guess they finally found a buyer. Out of the car came three boys.

"Let's go see what's goin' on." I yelled to my sisters, even though I was already out the door. I walked right up to our new neighbors, with my family and Johnny trailing behind.

"Hi, I'm Halley," I said to the first one I reached. He looked around me and Hannah's age—16, maybe 17. He was extremely handsome, which I didn't fail to notice after he flashed his movie star smile in my direction.

"Hey, I'm Soda," he said shaking my hand, "The small one over there is Ponyboy and the guy with all those boxes is Darry."

By the time he was done introducing me to his family, mine had finally gotten over to us.

"Soda, this is my older sister, Arya; my two younger sisters, Hannah and Aubree, and the guy over there is Johnny Cade."

"Nice to meet you," said Soda. He sure was polite.

"Nice to meet you, too."

I glanced back over at Ponyboy. He looked around Aubree's age. He was small, but he was still well-built.

Darry came out of the house and walked over to us. "Hi, I'm Darry," he said to the others. He was tall and looked very muscular. He had pale green eyes that looked determined. Determined about what, I don't know.

"We're heading over to the Nightly Double. Wanna come?" I asked since I was trying to be polite, and also because unpacking doesn't seem like all that much fun.

"Sure," said Darry, "Give us 10 minutes."

Darry's POV

As soon as we finished bringing our boxes into our new house, we set off for the Nightly Double with Halley, Arya, Hannah, Aubree, and Johnny.

Soda seemed to be getting along well with Halley. They were talking about all kinds of things. Seemed like they had a lot in common.

Ponyboy is usually extremely quiet but he sure wasn't tonight. He and Aubree were talking up a storm. For the most part of their conversation, they were talking about their favorite books.

Halley's sister, Hannah, and that kid Johnny were pretty much keeping to themselves. Man, they sure were quiet.

"Where we goin'?" I asked as we turned away from the movie entrance. "Isn't the entrance over there?"

"Yeah but we usually go around back." Halley said with a smirk on her face.

We reached the back and there was a fence blocking the way. Halley started climbing over and I just stood there dumbfounded. Her sisters and Johnny followed.

"Well come on," Aubree said, "the movie's about to start." Soda, Pony, and I all just looked at one another.

"Well, suit yourself," said Arya, and they started walking away.

"Wait!" yelled Soda, "We're comin'."

We climbed over and followed them to the seated area. They walked over to two guys sitting in the back corner and started talking.

"Come on over and meet the guys," Arya yelled to us.

When we got over Halley introduced us.

"Soda, Darry, and Pony, this is Two-Bit and Steve."

"Hey," we said and they just nodded back.

Two-Bit looked around 18. I'm guessing he liked Mickey Mouse since that was who was on his shirt.

Steve was sitting in his seat, just staring at us. He was lean and tall, well as tall as you're gonna look sitting down. His brown hair was in an array of swirls.

Soda and Steve hit it off right away. They were talking about cars throughout the entire movie. From what I heard of their conversation, he works at a gas station, the DX, I think, fixing cars. Halley had joined in the conversation by this time.

Two-Bit was sitting with Aubree and Pony, telling them jokes and stuff. Mostly about Socs and his girlfriend's brother.

"He's so greasy, he glides when he walks. He goes to the barbershop for an oil change, not a haircut." (A/N: jokes from the movie.)

"Who are the Socs?" I asked Arya, since she was sitting next to me.

"They're the rich kids who live on the west side of town."

"Then what would that make us?"

"We're greasers. Us and the Socs kinda have a rivalry with each other. They jump us, we jump them. One of these days we're gonna have it out with them though."

We watched the rest of the movie in silence, except for Soda, Steve, and Halley who were still talking about cars.

"Mustangs sure are tuff," said Steve, and the other two agreed.
