A/N: I put a link up of what Candie looks like on my profile for you guys to see. Thank you to the people who reviewed. If there is any ideas or something you want to see happen feel free to include that in your review.

*Candie P.O.V.*

"WHAT?" Dally choked out. All eyes were on me which is what I like. "Well who the hell is the father?"

Two-Bit and I exchanged glances before I answered. "Two-Bit," I said plainly. You could here everyone mutter to themselves. Steve was the loudest though so everyone could here him.

"I thought it would of been Soda. Well atleast he doesn't have to deal with superdope," He said.

"What'd you call me there Stevie?" Darry questioned "If you called me what I think you did your dead!"

"All brawn no brain" I muttered to myself.

"Pardon me!" Darry said to me quiet angerly. "What did you just call me Candie?"

"All brawn NO brain" I said rather sharply. Everyone in the room burst out into laughter. Except Darry. But besides that every one, even Dally, was laughing.

"I thought I was suposed to be the funny one?" Two-Bit said between laughs.

"Do you mind if I use that Candie?" Steve asked.

"Not at all bud," I said with I smile.

"Wait Dal, are you not going to beat my head in?" Two-Bit asked getting back on the subject.

Dally's P.O.V.

I sure as hell was. But not now. "Nah. Clearly my sis loves ya so I don't care."

Him and Candie exchanged a glance but seemed to buy it. Well they acted like it. If you knew Candie well, I do since I'm her brother, you could just see the worried expression on her face. I wasn't gonna point it out but she clearly knew I was lying.

After dinner Candie and Pony went for a walk so I saw this the perfect chance to get back at Two-Bit. " Hey Two-Bit, ol' buddy ol' pal, lets go to the park!" I said cheerfuly.

"Um Dal?" Steve butted in "Whats with you being cheerful? That is not you!"

"I don't know,"I said "Come on Two-Bit!"

"Sure thing Dal," Two-Bit said. He looked nervous as hell. I smirked at that making him look more nervous. He should be though. He will be lucky if he lives.

None of us talked an the way to the park. By the time we got there it was dark. Its a good thing to. If Candie listened to me she should be back at the Curtis' now.

"WHAT THE HELL!" I screamed at him making him jump back. Oh boy, he was going to pay.

Candie's P.O.V.

"So none of what you said to Dal was real?" Pony laughed. "Damn good liar. You had me fooled!"

We were aproaching the park. I realized that it was dark and Dal wanted me back at the Curtis' but he wouldn't know. He was most likley at Buck's or some other bar trying tto pick up some broad. Or atleast I thought until I heard a voice scream out. "WHAT THE HELL!" it said. I was only certain it was Dal until Pony confirmed it. "I...I'm...I'm...so...sorry," another voice studdered.

"Dal and Two-Bit," Pony said slowly. "Shit!"

"Dallas! What the frig!" I screamed at him once we got closer. He stoped his punch mid swing and looked at me.

"Candie," Dally said in a threatning tone. "I thought I told you to be home by now!"

"I would of been but we were running from some socs," I lied "But Dal, don't be such an ass! We were joking! I'm not pregnant!" I finished off screaming. I was soo mad.

I was mad until he grabbed me by my shoulders and slammed me against a tree. Then I was scared and my sholders hurt like hell. "WHAT did you say?" Dal yelled at me.

At this point I was crying. A lot! " I...We...We were ... We were just having fun and joking around!" I choked out between sobs.

He slapped me."I supose there were no socs chasing you either?" I shook my head earning me another slap. "Never lie to me EVER again! Do you understand me?" I nodded. "Good!" He threw me at the ground, hard. "Take her back to your house Pony. You to Two-Bit. I'm going to Buck's." If it was any other time I would have chuckled but all I did was nod and walk away.

"Geez Candie, you ok?" Two-Bit asked.

"Ya I'm fine," I said

"You don't look fine. Dal cut ya with his ring. Not as bad as Johnny's cut clearly but that will be a nice little scar," Pony said.

"Great," I sighed "If anyone asks Pony you saw Two-Bit and Dal and decided to go talk to them and I got jump by some socs, okay?"

"Why would you lie to your friends Candie?" Pony asked. "You should be telling us this type of stuff. Its unhealthy to keep this stuff in!"

"Thanks Pony," I said sarcasticly "If I need to talk I'll call a doctor, not you,"

"Okay, but are you sure you're okay? Dal is never that rough with a girl, let alone his sister!" Pony said.

"Ya. I'm fine." I assured him.

"Good! Now tell them that," Two-Bit said as he opened the door to the Curtis' house.

As soon as the door opened all eyes were on me. "Candie! Dal wanted you back at dark!" Darry yelled.

"I think he would understand," I chuckled to myself quietly.

"That was 2 hours ago!" he continued.

"Darry!" Soda yelled catching Darry off gaurd. Soda walked over to me and lifted me head up with his finger. "Candie, what happened?"

By then everyone had come overf to look at me and everyone was asking me what happened. I shook my head. I knew if I thought about it too much I would burst into tears. "Nothing," I lied.

"It sure don't look like nothin'! That'll be a nice scar," Darry said.

I saw Johnny roll his eyes and I chuckled. So did Two-Bit. I managed to push threw the gang and I sat with Johnny. We watched Mickey Mouse for a while until Soda brought me outside.

"Candie, I know that scar ain't nothin'! I hate to break it to ya, but scars don't apear out of no where! And I know its not the socs 'cause then you'd be mad," He paused "Candie? Was it Dal?"
