--Just to let you know, this story will jump POV's sometimes. But the story is mostly in Willow's POV, since she's the main character. But it will switch to Dally sometimes or someone else. But mostly Dally if it does switch. the rest of the time it's Willow.
To the Reviewers:
iheartponyboy33 - I'm glad you like it! I'm really into writing and I had this written by last night, and I'm working on chapter 3 already. Thanks for reviewing!
Izziecakes - Lol, you're not a freak lol. I like red hair a lot. My hair's red. :P But I thought it would be cool to do something with red hair for a change, I used to do black hair a lot on my characters so it's a good change. :) But yeah to clear up confusion, they used to live in Tulsa, but had to move to Minnesota to escape the dealer, but he went to Minnesota and found them, and then he took Willow with him back to Tulsa. And then the Winstons give up searching and knows the dealer is finished with them so they move back to Tulsa as well, not expecting that he would be there with Willow. Lol, hope that clears it up. :D Thanks for reviewing!
brittbrittsade - Thanks! I wanted to do something more original, because there's a lot of those, Greasers sisters stories out there, and I tried to make it a little out of the ordinary. Thanks for reviewing!
Rugrats101 - Well, she's been raised to be a no-good Soc sadly, but who knows what the future holds. Thanks for the review!
WhoaaReally53 - Aww you're sweet. Truth be told, I didn't know if this story was going to be a hit or not, it was something I thought I'd try since people liked my last Outsiders fic, and I just got the special edition DVD for my birthday. I have the original DVD too, and the special edition is amazing! I swear, it put me right back in my Outsiders mood to see all the missing footage. lol. Yep, I love Outsiders as you can tell. :) and I'm re-reading the book again. Go Outsiders! lol, ok, I talked your ear off lol. Thanks for the review!

Chapter 2. "A Sunset Like No Other."
Tulsa Oklahoma, Same year.
"Willow, you're not to speak like your parents did. Or your brother for that matter. You will grow up sophisticated, and worth a damn in this world. Understand?" The man spoke sternly.
I just stared and brushed away some tears running down my cheeks. I was so frightened I could hardly move. I was leaning up against a wall in an office looking place of some sort. I didn't know why the man had taken me here, or really what he intended on doing with me. He kept speaking about what I was going to grow up like, and my future.
"I said, do you understand?" He repeated, grabbing me roughly by the shoulders. I tensed up in fright. He was going to hurt me I just knew it. So I nodded quickly and promptly.
"That's my girl. Now give daddy a hug." He said, embracing me in an awkward and uncomfortable hug.
All throughout that time all I could think of was, "You're not my daddy." But I wasn't in the position to argue, so I thought it was best to do as I was told. And eventually, my real daddy would come and save me. I mean, he had to...right?

9 Years Later; Tulsa Oklahoma (Where everything is taking place lol.)
Dally's POV"Hey Dal." Came a voice. I was suddenly snapped back into reality by Two-Bit. I took a puff of my cigarette and glanced at Two-Bit. "What?" I asked lazily.
"Sorry, you were just kinda zoning out. Thought I'd bring you back." Two-Bit laughed taking a sip of his beer, and turning back to the TV.
Most of the Greasers were hanging out at the Curtis' house today. They normally did, but today almost everyone was there at the same time which wasn't unusual, just really crowded.
"So Dal, anything super happen in that little world of yours?" Steve joked. I glanced over at Steve with a smirk. "Ask me that again and I'll send you to your own little world pal." I responded in a threatening, but in a "I'm kind of joking..." sort of way. So Steve turned around and continued playing cards with Soda.
Johnny and Ponyboy were out looking at the sunset again. "That damn sunset...jesus." I thought looking over at the two on the porch. "What could be so interesting about the sun going down?" I could barely look at a sunset now. What good was it to look at one? There had been a hole in my heart since I lost Willow. It had been nine years, and still that hole never closed. No matter how many broads I was with, or how many friends I had, or how many Soc's I've taken. The hole just remains.
Now, I was one of the most feared Greasers in Tulsa. I have one of the biggest reps, and a police record a mile long. I do what I wanna do, when I wanna do it. Whoever has a problem with that, would never dare speak up, unless they were one of those dumbass Soc's asking for a piece of my mind.
Nothing's the same anymore. After Willow was taken, we figured there was no use in hiding from their old drug dealer anymore. The deed was done, and he took what he wanted. So we moved back to Tulsa, knowing we'd never see Willow again. We tried hiring people to find her for the first year, but no such luck. So my goddamn parents, finally gave up looking and now they just sat around the house not caring about anything one way or the other. I had doubts that I'd ever see my little sister again. But I still did a double take everytime I saw a girl who would look like her. But it's useless, it was never her. It would never be her.
"You goin' home tonight Dal?" Darry asked, from his chair where he was reading the paper.
"I dunno. If I get really drunk probably." I said simply, trying to edge away from my thoughts.
"You goin' to the football game tonight at the high school?" Two-Bit asked, with his eyes glued to Mickey on the TV.
"Probably...why's all the focus on me all of a sudden huh?" I asked, slightly irritated at the fact that everyone kept asking me questions. Everyone sort of shrugged and went back to whatever it was they were doing. Darry however, got up from his chair and sat next to me on the couch. "We worry is all, Dal." He said with a concerned tone.
"Darry, you know you ain't gotta worry about me man. I'm 110 percent. Worryin' about me is just a waste of your time." I laughed, grabbing my beer from the table and chugging the rest down.
"Whatever you say Dal..." Darry said with a slight laugh, and he went to go look over some bills.
"Say Dal, you wanna start headin' over to the game? Mickey's over." Two-Bit said with his mouth full of chocolate cake.
"Yeah man, let's blow this joint, I'm feelin' a bit too legal." I laughed. Two-Bit got up from the floor and swayed a little because of the alcohol he already had in his system. The rest of the gang was probably going to head to the game a little later. I however, wasn't planning on sitting in the stands like a good little boy cheering on some losers, so I planned to get a lot of booze before we got there. "See y'all later." Two-Bit called over his shoulder while we walked out into the golden sunset outside.

Willow's POV
"Sure is pretty isn't it?" I said with a sigh, sitting on my window seat. "What is? The sunset?" Cherry, my older sister asked, brushing my hair.
A lot had happened since the day I was taken from my old home. Jeffrey and I, whom I now called dad, came back to Tulsa and started a family. He got married to a nice lady named Jenna. Along with her came Cherry. Her real name was Sherry, but everyone called her Cherry because of her hair. Cherry's the same age as me; sixteen. But she's older by a few months.
Her dad left Jenna when she was seven, the same time when I was abducted by Jeffrey. They met, and everything clicked. Cherry and I really looked like sisters, because of our red hair, and we were a bit similar in looks. Except, I was a bit paler than she was, and my eyes were a bright, deep green. We lived on the South side of town. The nicer part of town. Us Soc's wouldn't be caught dead living on the same side of town the Greasers did.
After the past nine years, I really had grown to love Jeffrey as a father. He started to act like a father to me immediately when we got to Tulsa. It felt nice being a Soc. I was rich, and we Soc's owned the city. Compared to the Greasers, we were Gods. Cherry and I were really close, and in the same grade in school. We practically had all the same classes and we were both Cheerleaders. Both of us were dating awesome guys. She was dating a guy named Bob, and I was dating his best friend Randy. Randy is the sweetest thing ever. I love him to death.
Also, after we moved to Tulsa and dad married Jenna we took up her former name of Valance. Just so my former family couldn't find us. Yep, life was good.
"Yeah, the sunset...it's beautiful isn't it?" I asked Cherry as she continued to brush my hair. We were both getting ready for the football game tonight where we were cheering at.
"It's pretty nice." She agreed with a smile. "I love Randy." I sighed, falling back onto a pillow on my window seat.
"Now you've gone and messed up your pretty hair." Cherry scolded, teasingly, and pushed me back up and brushed it out. Now my hair was down to my rib cage instead of my waist when I was younger, but it was the same as it had always been, straight and red. "Cherry, you know my hair doesn't mess up easily." I laughed. "I know, I know." She replied rolling her eyes.
We were both dressed and ready to go by the time the door bell rang. We were both in our cheerleading uniforms, which were a red and white top, and a blue skirt. We both had our hair up into pony tails, so my hair hung to my mid back instead of my rib cage. We both grinned to each other as we opened the door. There was Bob and Randy standing on the other side. Boy did they sure look handsome. Randy was wearing a blue button up shirt and tan pants, and Bob was wearing a white button up shirt with tan pants. "Ready to go, and do some cheering ladies?" Bob asked, holding his arm out for Cherry to take. "Certainly." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek, and walking out the door.
"And you?" Randy asked, offering me his arm. "You bet." I said, and followed him out the door to Bob's mustang.

Sorry this chapter was boring, but I had to kind of update on how each of the characters lives were going. So sorry if it was boring or sloppy lol. I tried my best to describe how their lives were going. Oh, and if you notice, the chapter of the story "A Sunset Like No Other" there was actually a point to that lol. The sunset was like no other because he and Willow were looking at the very same sunset. Don't know if it was hard to catch that. But anyways, please review and tell me what you think! Thanks! xoxo
