(OOC: Sorry this took so long and it's short! Enjoy! Chapter 5 will be out sooner, oh and instead of going to 6 months before, it's going to 2.)
After a while, Two-Bit and Steve were getting bored of just sitting in the lot, so they all trekked over to Ponyboy's house where they were greeted by a enthusiastic Sodapop,
"Hey guys! What's up? Huh? Huh? Who's she? How'd she…"
"Soda. Chill or be chilled." Dallas said to Soda, moving his arms up and down in a calming motion.
"Soda? Who's that outside?"
"It's Pony….err Two-Bit, Steve, and Dallas. And some other girl, who is she?" Soda asked, looking at Cade.
"That's Dallas' sister!" Two-Bit laughed, pointing at Cade.
"You're kidding."
They all went inside where they were greeted by Mrs. Curtis as she asked Cade to call her,
"So you're Dallas' sister, huh?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Dallas, are you sure you can handle this? It's a huge responsibility."
"I know Mrs. C, I'm trying to work it out."
"You should get her enrolled in school at least, maybe even renting that house two doors down so you'll have a permanent spot to stay. You don't want her taken away..."
"Nope. It'd just be a perk." Dallas said, looking straight at Cade, "Anyway she's only staying with me for six months."+
"Sure Dallas, sure." Mrs. Curtis said, walking into another room.
Cade sat with Ponyboy on the floor playing cards when another greaser entered in. His long black hair fell over his eyes and his big black eyes focused on Cade as he walked in, hands shoved into an obviously worn jeans jacket.
"Who're you?"
"I'm Cade, Dallas' sister. I'm staying with him for a while, who are you?"
The kid looked around nervously before answering, "I'm Johnny."
"Well, hey Johnnycake, you've met my sister, eh?" Dallas said, locking Johnny in a headlock,
"Let go Dallas! Hey!" Johnny said, trying to get away while Dallas messed up his hair,
"Get offa my hair!"
After Dallas let go, two-Bit came in, looked around and held up a comb,
"Johnny, you gotta couple hairs outta place.
Dallas soon took Cade over to the old house two doors down after renting it out for six months,
"Well, here it is."
"It looks like it's been through a couple hurricanes." Cade noted, looking at the worn paint, rusted fence, and the door falling off it's hinges,
"Naw, it'll be fine. Just a new coat of paint….and some bug spray, and we'll be OK." He said, going inside the house. Ponyboy and Johnny came up by the fence,
"hey! New neighbor!" Ponyboy called to Cade, "What'cha doin?"
"Arming myself to go inside the house, wanna join me?"
"Not especially." Ponyboy said, looking at the house,
"I'll go in." Johnny said, walking through the gate and coming up the steps, "All right. Take this shovel and hit anything that moves….except me." Cade warned, opening the door. A huge cockroach came by, and Johnny smacked it with his shovel as Cade ran around the yard like a chicken with its head cut off. Then two more came out, same result.
Soon they got inside and it wasn't as bad as thought. Cade went into the nearest room with Johnny and looked at it. It was medium sized with a window looking out to the street,
"This is my room."
Johnny nodded, "Great, so now if Pony and I get bored, we'll just find cockroach and put them in your window."
"HEY! THAT'S MEAN!"
"And what have we learned?"
"That trusty boys that kill roaches with their magic shovels aren't always trusty?"
