DISCLAIMER: I DONOT OWN THE OUTSIDERS

Kate POV

I'm woken up by a knocking sound coming from the door to our apartment. Who could it be? It's only seven in the morning! I get up and slowly walk out of my room and over to the door and open it to reveal Soda standing there. I raise my eyebrows at him, noticing he's only wearing boxers. Hot, I think to myself.

"We, umm don't have any food for breakfast," he says sounding slightly embarrassed, and then goes back to his apartment. I go back into our apartment and close the door. I smile and laugh to myself as I head to Kelsey's door and open it up.

"Kel, wake up. The guys are awake and who KNOWS what they'll need," I say. She wakes up with no problem and goes out into the living room. I head over to Tiff's room and go inside, "Tiff, wake up, the guys need food," no answer. I knew this was going to be difficult. I sigh and leave our apartment and enter the gang's right next door. Noticing all of them are shirtless, I shake my head and announce, "Who wants to wake up Tiff!" Immediately, Dally walks forward, and even with Darry's
warnings, he continues to follow me back to the apartment.

Dallas POV

We enter the girl's apartment and as we pass Kelsey, she gives me a dirty look as I enter Tiff's room. I sit on her bed next to her and look back towards the door. No one's here. I look back at her, her chest slowly rising up and down. I run my fingers through her hair.

"She's so beautiful when she's sleeping," I say quietly. If the guys say me right now, I'd be labeled as a softy for the rest of my freakin' life, man. But right now, I couldn't possibly care less.

Tiffany POV

I slowly open my eyes to see Dallas sitting next to me with his fingers caressing my hair. I look at him and our eyes meet. I smirk at him and he shoots one back. Him running his fingers through my hair is very soothing.

"You gonna stop before I fall asleep again and all of you possibly starve since Kate and Kelsey both don't know how to cook a decent meal?" I ask him still with my smirk.

"Maybe, maybe not," he says. I shrug.

"Maybe I just won't make YOU food and let YOU starve then, how 'bout that?" He chuckles.

"You're a tough broad aren't ya, doll?"

"I told ya before, I ain't your doll or a broad, GREASE." He smirks even bigger. I push him out of the way as I sit up. "Now let me get out of bed so the guys don't start eating the furniture, or each other," He holds his hands out to me and I hesitate, but I take his hands in mine and he helps me up. We end up meeting each other's eyes for a moment. Just then, I hear footsteps.

"Enough with the lovey- dovey Tiffy, you can get to know your idol later. We gotta feed these guys before they destroy their apartment. Pony's stomach is going monster on us," Kelsey says.

"That kid is always hungry, man," Dally says as he slowly takes his hands away from mine, "Let's go," he says to me.

"Fine," I begin to say, "I'll go get some crap on the stove. Tell the guys that the menu is eggs and bacon if you guys are over there before me," I groggily leave the room and glare at Kelsey. Did she really have to interrupt that wonderful moment, really?

Kelsey POV

I slowly walk closer to Dallas. I don't care if he towers over me, I'm not afraid of him. Well, maybe a little.

"You better not hurt her Dallas. I saw you in the movie, you're not faithful. She better be special enough that you don't break her heart or else you'll be seeing this fist straight into your jaw or WORSE," I say to him. He smirks at me. Is that all he does? Smirk?

"You're as bad as Darry, man."

"Yeah, well, she's basically my sister. So, don't hurt her. End of story," I push him out of her room going to the door to the hallway of the apartment building, and turn around to face him again. "By the way, I gotta admit, she has a HUGE crush on you and you two do look cute together. I approve, BARELY, just so you don't pull any bullshit on her," He smirks again, I swear if he does that one more time…

"I promise, Superwoman," he then keeps walking and enters the gangs apartment. I stop in my tracks.

"Superwoman…?" I then shake my head and keep walking until I'm in the apartment. I look over and see Tiff working at the stove with Soda trying to help her. Kate is sitting there watching him like he's a god. I walk over towards Darry and once he notices me, his whole face lights up.

"So, I heard the troublemaker got Tiff up," I sigh at Darry's comment.

"Yeah, he did," Kate then comes over to us.

"I swear, if they don't start going out in the next day or so, I'm gonna force them in a corner or somethin'," Kate says. Darry tries hard not to laugh. I hold my hand over my mouth so I don't laugh either. Kate, gotta love her. I then look back at her.

"I agree, they would make a cute couple, but… I'm just scared… that's all," I say. Darry looks at me.

"That Dally will hurt her?" I nod at Darry. He then proceeds to put his hand on my shoulder, "Don't worry. I've never seen the boy so in love before. I think he truly cares about her and won't hurt her like all the other dumb broads from our time, and if he does," he smiles at me, "I'll be right there pounding his face in." I smile at him and as I look at his hand, I feel myself blush a little bit. Kate sees it and smiles mischievously.

"SPEAKING of cute couples…" then she darts her eyes between me and Darry.

"KATE!" I push her a little, she laughs and goes over to help in making of the food, or to gawk at Soda, but then again, who wouldn't? I turn to Darry.

"See what I mean? Her and Tiff do this to me all the time." He laughs. God, I love his laugh.

"She does have a point though," he says, making my eyes widen at his comment.

"What?!" I say in shock. He laughs, again.

"Superwoman? That's what Dally was mumbling when he came in here… you're a lot like me ya know," I smile at him.

"Well… what do you say to getting a grand ol' tour of New York with me later on then?" I ask with a grin. He smiles wide.

"I say that's a great idea," he glances over at Soda, then at Pony, "Just so those two are taken care of in our absence."

"I think Kate has the Soda problem under control, and I think Pony's fine. He's always connected at the hip to Johnny," I then see the two in the corner laughing.

"Okay, sounds good to me then. By the way, what's goin' on with Kate and Soda?" I chuckle, wasn't it obvious?

"I think what we're seeing there, my dear Watson, is the development of young love."

"Watson?" he looks confused.

"Sherlock Holmes?" he thinks and then has an OH! moment, "I know, I'm corny," I blush.

"More like intellectual. It's a good thing. I like that," he looks straight into my eyes. Doesn't he know that makes me melt when he does that?!

"COME GET EGGS AND BACON!" Tiffany screams, ruining the moment. I sigh.

"Better get some before everyone else scarfs it up," I say to him. Darry laughs and goes and gets food. I feel someone tap me on the shoulder. I whip around and see a smiling Two-Bit standing there with a piece of bacon in his mouth.

"Hey, I missed all the action!" I laugh at him.

"Get outta here, ya perv!" we exchange laughs and he goes over and sits next to Steve. I sigh and get food from Tiffany.

Later that day, Darry and I are sitting on a bench in the middle of Times Square. He continues to look around, completely stunned at everything.

"This is crazy!" he says.

"What's… oh yeah. You're from…"

"1966, this wasn't…"

"This wasn't like this then, I know. There's a lot more technology now. Lets' see… you guys had TV's back then right? Well, they were only black and white, right? No color?"

"Yeah."

"Well, now they're color, OBVIOUSLY. There's a lot more than that, but I don't want to overwhelm you."

"It's fine. I'm taking it better than most of the others. Poor Johnny, he's scared to death. He bunked with me last night and he was scared that you could turn the light off with a clap."

"I'm sorry… if there's anything we could do… I know!" I exclaim, and he looks at me, "We could make your apartment more like home!" He smiles at me.

"You don't have to. You've already done so much for us!"

"It's the least I could do. Besides, Tiff would probably go ballistic for the opportunity to design the Greasers apartment." He laughs a little bit.

"This is so weird…" he says. I'm confused, and look him in the eye.

"What do you mean, Darrel?"

"Please, call me Darry. As I was saying, I'm the leader, I'm not used to being helped out like this. I'm usually the one helping people. You're so much like me…" He then takes his hand in mine. His rough, warm hand is very comforting. We look into each other's eyes for a split second, and then I feel his soft, moist lips come into contact with mine.

We're not in Times Square anymore. It's just me and Darry, not 2012, or 1966, just somewhere, me and him, his warm, moist lips on mine. I lace my arms around his strong neck and he wraps his around my waist. I smile to myself in happiness as his tongue finds mine. Our tongues dance together, and it feels amazing. Finally, we have to leave our blissful world as we come up for air. He smiles at me.

"I like you Kelsey," he says nervously, still panting. I give him a quick peck on his lips.

"Oh really, I didn't quite notice by that intense, amazing kiss, Superman. I think you'll have to show me again," He smiles and we continue to kiss for a couple more minutes until he pulls back.

"Speaking of showing, I want to see that college that you keep speaking of."

"What, Julliard?" he nods and we stand up. He intertwines his fingers with mine.

"Show me the way, my Superwoman," he says. I smile to myself as we enter the subway. I've fallen in love with Superman, and he loves me back.

Kate POV

Around two o'clock, I'm sprawled out on the couch. Only Tiff is home and she's practicing a dance in the other room we have. I'm watching the news and the same old stories are always on, I don't understand how she can stand to watch this. I hear a knock at the door.

"COME IN!" I yell. I look over at the door and Soda walks in. I quickly sit right up and turn the TV off. "Oh hey Soda! Ya know, no one knocks 'round here."

"I just wanted to be polite, and ya didn't have to turn the TV off," he says shyly.

"It's okay," I say as he sits next to me. It feels like my heart is gonna jump out of my chest. I regain mu composure. "I don't really like watchin' the news anyway. The same old stories: murder, drug busts, rape, kidnappings..."

"Sounds like a nice place," he says sarcastically.

"You're tellin' me!" we both laugh and there's a moment of silence between the two of us. You can't even hear Tiff's music, which is a first.

"So, Darry went with Kelsey to go sightseeing today," Soda says with a grin.

"She couldn't stop talking about it this morning! I'm just sayin', they're probably a couple already," I laugh.

"Oh, they are. Darry told me he was gonna ask her today."

"D' AWWWWWW! Now only if we can get Tiff and Dally together," I say mischievously.

"They definitely need to just get it over with already," he agrees.

"They both are too stubborn though. Someone's gotta make the first move or push 'em in a corner or somethin',"

"Well," he looks straight into my eyes. Oh lord… "Sometimes ya gotta let love happen," there's another moment of silence. We stare into each other's eyes and I find myself smiling, as he says, "I should get goin', don't need Two-Bit and Steve destroyin' the place," he stands up.

"Aww man!" I say as I stand up. He comes over and hugs me. I hug him back slowly.

"Well, see ya around," he leaves the apartment. I flop back onto the couch and sigh. Sometimes ya gotta love happen, huh? Interesting….

Tiffany POV

It's around midnight when I walk out onto the balcony that is attached to our apartment. It's also attached to the other apartment that the guys are staying in but is separated by a tiny fence. I lean on the railing and look out at Times Square. This city never sleeps, I swear. It needs to take a freakin' nap. I come out here to think. It somehow clears my head. I'm so in thought that I barely hear a door open and close.

"Hey, whatcha doin' out here?" I hear a sly voice that could only belong to one person. Dallas Winston.

"Could've asked ya the same thing," I say without looking at him.

"I needed to think. What, you don't wanna look at me? Huh?" I sigh, and finally look over his way.

"Naw, just a dream I had that I'd rather not talk about. I just needed to clear my head that's all," I hear him jump over the little fence.

"Ya mind?"

"Go for it," I say as he leans on the railing and is inches away from me.

"You come out here to think?" he chuckles, "It ain't exactly quiet," I shrug.

"It helps me. What about you? You said you had to think too," I say defensively.

"Yeah," I feel his gaze come over to me, "Ya like New York?" for some reason, I don't think that's what he was thinking about.

"Of course, never a dull moment, let's just say that," I then shiver. It's normally not this cold out in September. He sees me shiver.

"Ya cold, doll? He chuckles.

"Just a tad."

"Here," he then takes his leather jacket off and puts it on me. "There, ya good now?"

"… yeah actually. Thanks," I say, warmed by both the jacket and his unexpected kindness.

"No problem, doll. Go get some sleep now, ya here?" he turns and jumps back over the fence.

"Wait!" I say and turn to him. He turns around and raises his eyebrows, "… I'm not your doll," he chuckles then bites his lip as he opens and closes his door to his room. I walk back inside and climb into bed as I realize something, "Wait, he forgot his jacket. Eh, I'll give it to him tomorrow."
