FLASHBACK.

TULSA, 1969

Ponyboy Curtis was packing his bag he had kept secretly hidden in the closet. He pacled some money he had saved up (which was well over a few thousand dollars) He had some of his clothes and some food. Tonight, he would be cathcing a bus and moving out of this town. He couldn't keep her safe and he knew that. He walked slowly over to the white cradle that held his sweet child. He pickked her up gently and kissed her cheeks, her forhead and her little nose. Then he stroked her little hairs she had going. He cried for a fre seconds but kept it down, as to not wake up Sodapop. Who was laying in bed, unaware of what was going to happen.

Ponyboy set the little child down, she was only three months old.

I have to do this he thought, it's the only way the Socs won't harm her even more.

With that, Ponyboy left the room, leaving a note telling his family how much he loved them. He put the picture of his daughter and him in his pocket (there was another one laying around here somewhere) and left the house. He left the house as soon as Darry woke up. Darry, having to leave for work a little later then usual decided to make some Coffee, maybe chat with Ponyboy. He wasn't happy about the idea of Ponyboy knocking Cherry up and having her live with them, but she's family now and his niece was only a baby, he couldn't say no to them.

Darry entered the kitchen to find the light already on.

He looked at the table. There was a note, a picture. And no Ponyboy to be found.

5 YEARS LATER-1974

Cherry opened her eyes to finding a little girl on her bed. She smiled and kissed her nose. The girl giggled and opened up her green-gray eyes they were wide and big, and along with her hair and nose, she resembled Ponyboy. Which only made Cherry's heart feel both sad and glad.

"Hi mommy." The girl smiled.

"Morning, baby." Cherry smiled again. "Why don't you get somthing to eat?" The girl nodded and left to the kitchen.

Cherry's POV

I walked over to my vanity. It was Darry and Sodapop's mother's old vanity and it was old but very pretty. I walked over there to put on my make up. I put on black eyeliner and eye shaddow. Then I put on some light pink lipstick and lip gloss. I picked out a nice pair of black skinny pants (Girls can wear these now! Yes!) and I was looking for a shirt when I came across somthing that reminded me of Ponyboy. It was his old track uniform shirt. I sighed and put it on.

I walked into the living room to the Greasers who were sitting around.

"Hello, Steve, Dallas, Johnny and Keith." I said at once.

They nodded or mumbled at me. So is this what greasers do? If I were with the Socs, (which I ditched for Ponyboy and my daughter) We would of been dancing around or going to a party. But I guess Greasers aren't so bad, they treat me like a lady insted of a ho.

I walked into the kitchen to see Darry and Sodapop talking to my daughter, Maddison.

"Then, when you turn at the right angle" Sodapop was using a red toy car as an example.

"EEER! You do a wheelie." sodapop smiled.

"Can we do that with the truck?" She asked absent-mindedly.

"Noooo'" Darry laughed.

"This girl's an auto head, she's my nicece." Sodapop smiled. Maddison smiled and went on eating her food. She started school last week and I've been getting a little edgy on the whole "greaser and soc" thing. They do exist in elementry school. But I'm not sure if kindergarden applys to that choice.

I sighed and sipped my coffee that was handed to me. Sodapop and Steve started telling Maddison about boys and how they're icky and gross and to never go neer then in school.

"Unless it's one of the gang members or anyone we introduce you to." Sodapop added. I laughed, I can't believe how over-protecitve they are of her. Ponyboy' would probably do the same thing. I sighed then looked at my coffee. Ponyboy...He's been gone for five years to this day. I gulped, I know he had his reasons for leaving, but he couldn't of told me in person insted of a note? I began to have tears fall down on my face.

"Mommy?" Maddison asked. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing," I said. "get ready for school, baby." She nodded and left the room. I sighed and looked at my feet. Sodapop probably read my mind becuase he came over to me and told me:

"Ponyboy will come back, he will." Sodapop said.

"He's five years too late." I said. "He's not coming back." I said. "He won't Sodapop, my girl needs a father and he's not here." I got up and left the room. I had to bring Maddison to school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Greasers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Outsiders!

The classroom was filled with children laughing and getting along like the should. They were coloring, playing with the playfood making it into a tea party. They played with stuffed animals, some were helping teachers or just talking. All accept one girl. She was sitting in the back of the room trying to figure out what to do. The teacher told everyone in the class that they would draw a picture of their family and when they were doneand only if they were done, they would be able to play.

Maddison drew a picture of Dallas, Johnny, Steve, Two-Bit, Darry, Sodapop and her mommy. But one boy made a comment that she didn't have a Dad in the picture. Maddison never knew what a dad was. she'd never had one before. So she sat there, puzzled on why she didn't have a dad.

One year later 1975

Maddison was swinging on a swing in the backyard. Everyone was out doing what they wanted and her mother was sun tanning. Not wanting to be bothered. Maddison fixed the ruffles in her dress and started swinging. She didn't go very high becuase she was scared of heights. Maddison felt like she did a long time ago, and how she never had a dad. She didn't want to talk about it. She figured her daddy didn't love her so that's why she never asked about him.

She saw pictures of Her Daddy. And she was a spiting image of him-only she had her mother's fenime complex. Maddison started twirling in the swings, keeping her feet on the ground. She looked at her mother who twiddled her fingers at her, Maddison smiled sheepishly and looked back on the ground.

In the yard behind them, she heard a girl laughing her dad was pushing her on the swing they owned.

"Too bad I don't have a dad to push me." Maddison said.

Cherry was frosting the cake on her daughter's birthday cake. She wasn't quick enough becuase Sodapop stuck his fingers in the frosting and took a taste.

"Get out of here!" Cherry laughed. She wasn't quick enough for Dallas either or two-Bit.

"Damn, woman you're getting slow." Dallas teased.

"Damn, man for being a boy you sure as hell don't look like you got any balls!" Cherry snapped. She still had a little bit of Soc-talking in her. But she could feel the "Greaserness" being thrown at her and accepted it. She even started looking like a greaser. Maddison was in the other room, looking at a picture of her dad. She felt tears run down her face. Darry walked in to see this. And he thought "Oh, God." Darry approched Cherry and informed her that it was time to tell Maddison about Ponyboy.

When Maddison went to bed that night (after having a wonderful party) Her mother came in, tucked her in and told Maddison that they needed to talk. Darry would be in the conversation too.

"Maddion, I understand you're conserned about your father." Cherry said.

"All you need to know, is that he loved you-and very much."

"Why did he leave then?" Maddison asked.

"Daddy-went on a mission, a quest." Darry lied. "He had to find the beautiful princess and help the land of-"

"ha-hammmah-" Darry strugled.

"Hannah-deltor" Cherry couldn't make it out, but Maddions was so absent-minded she couldn't tell they were lying.

"Oh...so Daddy's a prince?" She asked. "And I'm a princess?"

"Yes, yes you are." Cherry said.

"Oh, well, I have somthing to brag about at school now!" She smiled. darry kissed Maddison goodnight and Cherry did too. When they stepped out the room, Maddison couldn't sleep.

"I'm a princess..." She smiled.

Tlusa-1981

Maddison walked out of her house and was on her way to school. It was a hot day and she had track practice after school. being thirteen right now felt great to Maddison. She could stay out a little later (if she called the house that is) she could join a track team, and if she was lucky find a boy.

Maddison was walking threw Tlusa when she accidently bumped into a man.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Maddison apologized.

"No, No I was staring up at the sky, and wasn't watching where I was going, it's my fault." The man apologized. The man had dark-auburn hair, depressed green grey eyes but he had a smile on his face.

"Well, I'll have to go now, carry on." Maddison said polietly.

The man nodded and headed in the direction where the houses were. Maddison was a fast runner. She loved to run on the team. She was the fastes runner her coach had ever seen (well, he wouldn't tell her but he was Maddison's father's coach too, so not to be over-dramatic about it, he didn't mention her father)

When Maddison walked out of the gym she met up with Angela Sheppards's child, Massie.

"What's up, Maddison?" she smiled.

"Nothing, hey look-" Maddison pointed to the trophy case they were putting up some old trophies as well as some new ones.

Maddison and Massie walked over to them and Maddison couldn't believe her eyes.

"Maddison, you never told me your dad was on the track team too." Massie said as she pointed at a gold trophy that had Ponyboy's name on it, and under his name had the year 1969. The year Maddison was born.

"I-I didn't know either."

Maddison walked up the steps to her house when she was a car that was never there parked out in the driveway. She wondered who could be here, was it Two-Bit? Or Dallas and Johnny? It might be Steve, but Steve doesn't drive a Caddy.

Maddison opened the door to see Darry, sodapop and her mother sitting in the living room with the same man she had bumped into on the streets. The man looked over his shoulder and stared at Maddison, then he stood up and walked over to her.

"Maddison Curtis?" He asked. Then he smiled, tears almost coming out of his eyes. "Oh, my God." He breathed.

"What's goin' on?" Maddison asked.

Cherry stood up. "Hon, do you remember me telling you about your dad? Well, this is your dad." She looked at Ponyboy, who was slightly taller then Cherry. Maddison looked at the man who had left her. she fought hard to keep back the tears.

Should I continue?
