[I changed the family relations in the last CH. Also I made this a little bit of a Karate Kid Crossover I copied one of the parody of the story Of Virgins and Candles for a scene, but it's much different. A Sideways Smile gets full credit for that idea.]

Curly got off the car. "We should get the stuff ready now." Everyone got up and followed Curly. Curly almost felt like Tim but he didn't have Tim's despot, God complex. Curly's thought wondered to Dally, even though the gang didn't mention the Winston gang. He was exactly like Tim, except he had a devil complex.

Curly and his friends walked to the town. They kept walking until they reached a field, right near the town. When they stopped on the the grassy area, Curly took his shades off and put it on his shirt collar. He pulled a chain belts on a tree next to them and a net fell down. He smiled at his friends.

"That was for the Tigers but they never came to this side. Not even for the belts we stole from them."

"You're going to use it on the Winstons?"

Wade asked, understanding what his friend was planning.

Curly only smiled at him.

"The Winstons don't need the Tiger's belts… The Winstons don't wear belts but they have jewelry!"

Wade could only stare at Curly.

"You mean to tell me we're stealing from the Winston gang?!"

"Not stealing, just borrowing. They can take it back from the trees."

Curly pulled the net back up.

"Tim will kill you man! We have a stale mate with the Winstons. But all we have to do right now is get the lot," Wade worried.

Curly casually pulled the net over the tree and leaned against it. "They Winstons don't have to know we did it…"

Wade stared at Curly. "You've lost it, man!"

0o0o0o

Scout was sorting through her bag in her room, with her friends siting on her bed.

One of Two Bit's sisters carefully fixed Scout's flexible, curly hair into twists on the side of her hair and clipped it half up. They all were wearing dresses and did their hair. Scout put on peach lipglosss as Two Bit's sister complained about Ponyboy, her friend, running away. "He's on the track, it's what he does," Scout replied.

Two Bit's other sister laughed. Her twin looked at her with narrow eyes. "Has Johnny stopped hiding yet?"

"Did Danny stop running away?" Danny was Daniel Caruso, Johnny's twin.

"That's why I'm glad I'm not going with anyone from the Winston gang. They're all trouble," Scout pulled back from the mirror.

"You should try the Shepard gang," Two Bit's first sister told her.

"I like the Kings better," Scout replied.

Curly and Wade appeared in front of the window of that room, that was on the second floor. But no one noticed. But they weren't too worried. Curly and Wade wore hockey masks, dark clothes, hiking boots, sunglasses hooked in their collars, and had flashlights hooked in their belts.

Curly slid the unlocked, open window more open and climbed in the room. Wade followed him then they rolled behind the dresser.

A clinking sound of metal on wood was heard when Scout and Two Bit's sisters sorted through Jewlery on the dresser.

Curly's hand reached out from behind the dresser. When Curly's hand reached the dresser, Scout picked something from the dresser up at the same time and her hand brushed against Curly's. She shrieked and Curly jumped up, followed by Wade. Two Bit's sisters joined in the shrieking when they saw the two boys in Jason hockey masks.

"It's Jason but he's come with a twin to take us down!" Two Bit's sisters screamed, standing up.

"Call the cops!"

"I was thinking the ghostbusters…"

Curly and Wade quickly turned around and grabbed the jewelry.

"Atleast it doesn't want you, just your jewelry!"

Curly and Wade climbed back through the window. Scout noticed one of them had familiar, dark, curly hair. It clicked in her mind and she ran after him, climbing out the window after him.

Two Bit's sisters shrugged and went back to doing their nails on Scout's bed.

Scout slid down the drainpipe and landed on her butt. One of the Jasons' turned around to laugh. That only made Scout more determined. She stood up and kept chasing them. She chased them through town, where they all dodged the crowd of greasers during the end of work hours.

Curly thought she fell right into their trap as they kept running until they led her to a field.

When Scout reached the field, she lost sight of the two masked guys. She started to wonder if it was a good idea, chasing two Jasons' with hockey masks. The best scenario was that it was actually two Jasons from Friday the 13th.

Scout stopped in the middle of the grassy field, taking deep breaths. She pushed her hair back and looked around. Suddenly she saw the necklaces on the tree branches. She walked up to it and looked up at the tree to see if she could see the masked Jasons'.

She knew this was some sort of trap so she climbed up the tree, which was a little difficult with a skirt. When she got on the first branch, she noticed her necklace was on the branch above it. She grumbled but when she pulled it; the net came down, messily. It caught her foot as it pulled her down, upside down.

Unfortunately she wore a skirt so her panties were on view to everyone in the field. Fortunately one of the Jasons had to go home, realizing it was late. The only remaining Jason came out from his hiding place and started laughing.

When Curly and Wade ran into the field, they didn't expect Scout to fall for the trick so easily. Curly had to admit, gold hanging from trees would not even trick a simpleton, forget JDs raised on the streets of Brooklyn.

But even Scout didn't fall for it immediately. Curly and Wade watched her climb up the tree, and Curly tried to go under to glance up her skirt but Wade stopped him. It turned out, he didn't have to. When Scout pulled it from the tree branch, her foot got stuck and the net caught her upside down; giving Curly a nice view of her panties.

Curly howled with laughter as Scout dangled from the tree, wriggling like worm. Now her shirt hitching up too, giving him a slight view of her bra.

Curly walked up to her and rubbed her leg with his hand. He dodged Scout's flailing hands. He smirked, caught her hands and held them behind her back with one arm. "I'll kill you Shepard!"

"Good luck, doll!" Curly smirked. Scout kept jerking, violently. But Curly pulled her shirt up(down?) for a full view of her bra.

Scout twisted and tried to free her arms. "B***!"

Curly smirked again and ran his hand up her legs to her stomach, to her chest. Scout tried to hit him in anyway she could, but she couldn't. Curly smirked at her again and fingered the back of her bra.

"I'll kill you, violently, Curly! Then send make sure you rot in juvie permanently you bastard!" Scout jerked violently again.

Curly just smirked and moved his hand over her chest.

Scout tried to wrestle her hands from behind his back. But Curly just smirked and put his mouth on her shoulder. He fingered her panties

. "I'll make sure you're sent to jail even before you're out of juvie!" Scout yelled at him.

"You're the same age as me, babe, you know juvie isn't forever."

Curly stopped fingering her panties and unhooked her bra with a swipe of his hand before running away. Scout shrieked and her hands hit Curly a few times(painfully in the crotch once)before he got away.

Curly's laughter mixed with Scout's shrieking as he ran away. He looked back to see her holding up and trying to reclip her bra.

He realized it was wrong to leave her like that so he pulled out his switchblade and ran back. He dodged her hand trying to hit him and cut the rope, before running away again.

He didn't have to worry about her following him to kill him because she was too busy making sure her modesty in tact.

Scout grumbled and got up. She quit re-clipping her bra and pulled her shirt/skirt down. She saw Curly run off and imagined ways to torture him, brutally.

Scout cursed Curly the whole walk back to the Curtis house.

After her mom and Mr Winston ran off; Dally,and Scout moved into the house of their elder sisters: Zoenda Curtis nee Jenkins(married Ponyboy) and Dahlia Winston's name nee Winston(married Darry). Lucina, Johnny's older sister, also married Sodapop.

Ponyboy was twenty so he decided to settled down early with Scout's twin sister. Along with Ponyboy's theme, everyone was making lots money so the Curtis house was renovated until it looked like a small soc house. If soc houses look like pieces of art. There were 7 bedrooms, (most of them in the side tower), one guest room, 5 bathrooms, 2 big rooms, a sun room, a kitchen, and a sunroom. This was all from Darry's handiwork.

Johnny found out he was living with two kidnappers . His real parents were the LaRusso's in California. He had a brother, Daniel and sister, Lucina. Lucina settled down with Sodapop after the LaRuso's moved from California because Daniel was having trouble with bullies anyways.

Scout entered the Curtis house to find it busy. Scout walked in the back door and avoided everyone. She heard chattering in the livingroom while Sodapop was cooking in the kitchen. He insisted. "The Shepards hit a new level of stupidity," she heard Dally gripe. "They put gold chains on trees and attached them to nets."

Scout paled, wondering if anyone noticed. Ponyboy, her good friend, appeared next to her and looked at her, quizzically.

"You look disheveled," he noted.

Scout looked at him, oddly.

"What makes you say that?" She unconsciously adjusted her blouse.
"Your hair looks disheveled," Ponyboy said the same time Johnny, who came in, did.

"I chased a thief who got in my room, twin Jasons of Friday the 13th,"

Scout grumbled.

"You need to be vigilant,"

Dally griped, walking in and grabbing some food. Sodapop swat his hand away.

"How vigilant can she get in her room?"

Sodapop asked, turning around.

"I agree,"

Johnny added.

"She still should be alert if any Jasons break in her room,"

Dally griped.

"Did I hear correct? Jasons' broke in your house?"

Two Bit waltzed in and grabbed some orange bread. "You should've sent them my way!"

"They would've gotten scared,"

Steve came in and sat down.

"Are you sure it wasn't the twins?"

Two Bit asked.

"We were sitting there when they came in,"

one of the twins said as they came in.

"Then they must've been your dates,"

Steve replied.

"They looked more interested in you,"

the other twin replied.

Steve scowled,

"pests!" Ponyboy snickered.

"Has anyone heard the latest dumb thing the northern gangs did?"

Darry walked in. "They hung jewlery on trees attatched to nets."

"They're Shepards, what do you expect?!"

Dally laughed.

"Curly was okay,"

Ponyboy said, airily.

Scout snorted and Dally smirked.

"Even she knows better!"

"I'm not feeling good, I'll be back later," Scout said, racing up the stairs.

"Come down soon if you can because Soda's almost done with dinner,"

Darry told her.

Soda turned around with clay colored oven baked pizza and smiled.

"Can't miss that!" Two Bit smiled.

Scout nodded and went upstairs. She wasn't in her room for two seconds until the twins, Ponyboy, Johnny, Danny, and her sister came in.

"Okay spill, why are you acting so weird?" Ponyboy demanded.

"I'm sick!"

Scout replied.

"I wouldn't believe you if you were Jaqueline Kennedy?"

Zoenda said.

"I know her enough to not believe her she said she was,"

Daisy laughed.

"You already said you know her,"

Johnny laughed.

"Mind trick,"

Danny replied.

They heard Bryon come through the door downstairs. Bryon was part of their gang after Mark was arrested for selling. The irony was Mark was out of prison and dating Angela Shepard. Loyalty was defined by your friends with gangs.

"Start explaining,"

Zoenda demanded.

"Don't laugh, I was caught in one of those traps after I chased that theif,"

Scout explained. "They put the necklace in a tree."

"Was that theif a Shepard?"

Daisy asked.

"Wait, you got caught in one of those nets?"

Danny asked.

Scout scowled and nodded.

"Are you sure it was a Shepard? And not someone using their traps?"

Scout was about to answer but she didn't know if she should tell them it was Curly. The memory of what he did still made her face turn pink.

Dahlia came in.

"Dinner's ready kidlets!" They saw Two Bit race by, Bryon right behind him. "Come before he gets it or there won't be anything left."

Everyone got up and Scout felt hungry too. She was the last one left in the room. Before she walked out the room, she looked out the window. She noticed the sun was setting. She wondered if Curly would sleep well now that she had grounds to send him to juvie, year long. A little blackmail never hurt anyone. Scout got an idea. She ran up to Ponyboy and pulled him back. Her sister nor their friends didn't even bat an eye. Ponyboy and Johnny were her best friends. They were more like twins than her sister and her. Johnny stayed back, too.

0o0o0

Curly laughed maniacally as he ate dinnner with the Shepard gang. Wade was to his right and Mark was to his left. His friends Jerry and Bobbi, who were once part of the Cobra gang, joined the Shepard gang after moving from California(and quitting the Cobra gang). They were a riot. Curly told them the story of the net. "I have an idea!" Jerry declares.

"I second it!" Bobbi laughed.

A few seconds later Scout, Ponyboy, Two Bit, Dahlia, Bryon, Daisy, and Johnny made their way to the Shepard house. Two Bit, Dahlia, and Bryon were dressed as cops.

They took Dahlia's old, white car and put lights the color of cops' on it. They also borrowed Darry's old walkie talkies. They reached the Shepard house with the lights on. Johnny, Ponyboy, and Scout hid while Dahlia and Daniel walked up to the Shepard house. Bryon and Two Bit stayed in the car.

Curly was laughing at another joke while sipping beer when her heard a knock on the door. His parents long since left after Tim and him bought the house. He got up and answered it. Two cops were standing in the porch, the one with dark hair looked familiar. "Hey aren't you that Cade kid? How did you become a cop? Aren't you like Dally's best buddy? Are you going to arrest that son of a ***?" Curly slurred a little after too many to drink.

"Cade? That's LaRusso," Bobbi got up.

"LaRusso? Who the *** is that? That's obviously Cade-"

"It's officer Caruso kidlets and know I am not affliated with Dally or the Winstons," Danny replied.

Curly laughed. "What the hell is a kidlet? I'm your age-"

"What can we help you with sir?" Wade asked, cutting Curly off.

"A Charles Shepard is under arrest for sexually harassing and provoking a girl in Tulsa field earlier today," Dahlia spoke up.

"You must be kidding me!" Curly hissed. "I didn't rape her!"

"What?!" Both the cops and his friends looked at him.

"That was what she said," Curly said. "She got caught in a trap I set up by her own free will. And her skirt and shirt fell up. I didn't touch her innapproriately

"She said you unclipped her um article of clothing," Dahlia replied.

"I just ran, I didn't strip her."

"Come with us," Daniel pulled Curly forward and put handcuffs on his hands. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you in a court of law."

After they got to the car they drove to Bucks and took Curly to the side. They locked him in a dungeon/old bar and drove off.

"You know impersonating a cop is illegal?" Ponyboy asked.

"He won't recognize us," Bryon replied.

"He kind of recognized Danny," Dahlia replied.

"Oh shit!" Two Bit said.

"He and his friends can't decide if it's Johnny or me so no one will believe them," Danny said.

Curly kept banging in the dungeon/old bar and someone heard him. When Curly went home he was seething. He sobered enough to realize it was Johnny/Danny. His friends must be high so that's why they were calling him Danny.

After Curly stumbled through the Shepard home he told his friends what the 'cops' did. "That stupid broad sicced fake cops on me!"

"That's Danny then," Bobbi exclaimed.

"How can Johnny be Danny?" Curly demanded.

Bobbi showed Curly the newspaper clipping of Danny, in the Karate championship tournament.

"The Cade kid has a twin?" Johnny asked.

"That's the Cade kid's real brother," Tim walked through the door. "Johnny and Lucina's parents were criminals who abducted them. Their real family, the LaRusso's, moved from California to reunite with their lost children.

Bobbi and Jerry shot up. "Daniel LaRusso' is back?!"

"Forget him," Curly shot up. "I have a plan to get them back," Curly said.

OoOoOoO

Two Bit, Dahlia, Daniel, Bryon, Ponyboy, Scout, and Johnny walked back home. They abadoned the car to avoid trouble with the cops. Since Pony was above 18 the social workers weren't on Darry's case anymore; but Darry wouldn't be happy and the cops would happily book them. The cops happily went after both gangs, hating the leaders personally.

So they found themselves walking home, laughing about Curly's face. Along the path they came up to a detour sign. So they cut across a few houses until they passed by an old house. "Wait, let's go in!" Dahlia said.

"Are you sure you're not really Dally in a wig?" Two Bit asked, trying to pull her hair. Dahlia swatted his arm away.

"Why aren't you asking her?" Dahlia asked, pointing at Scout.

"I don't impersonate cops or jump at a chance of break and enteries," Scout replied.

Dahlia flicked her head. "It was your idea!"

"She's Steve in a wig," Two Bit replied.

"I'm not even a Randle-Matthews," Scout repled.

"Could've fooled me with that mouth," Two Bit replied.

"Let's go in!" Dahlia repeated.

"I don't think we should," Ponyboy replied.

"You sound just like Darry," Dahlia smirked. Ponyboy's eyes widened and Johnny laughed.

"But he has a point," Daniel added.

"What can go wrong?" Dahlia asked.

"The Winterson residence?" Bryon read the plaque outside the gate.

Two Bit and Dahlia were already over the gate. They opened it from the other side. The others followed them down the path to the front door. Inside there were lots of candles and a spellbook.

"What the (beep)?" Bryon looked around.

"What's this?" Two Bit asked.

"A spellbook?" Danny asked. "What is this Sabrina the teenage witch's house?" A black cat walked past them.

"Someone put the wrong plaque. It should be Spellman not Winterson," Bryon took the spellbook.

There was one purple candle. "What date is it?"

"September 13th, 1973," Johnny answered, looking around.

"Hey it's Friday the 13th!" Ponyboy pointed out.

"If a virgin lights the candle on a full moon on Friday the 13th; the Winterson sisters, three witches, come back from the dead!" Two Bit read the plaque. "Ponyboy? Scout? Johnny?Danny?"
Danny flipped him off. "I think we should go," Ponyboy said.

"Come on Pony? One of you light the candle before you get laid," Two Bit said.

"Yeah if you light the candle maybe one of the witches will come for you to get laid with!" Bryon laughed. Two Bit laughed and high fived him.

"Maybe you'll finally get laid with them," Dahlia retorted. Danny laughed.

"What are you laughing at Danny? You couldn't get laid with even three witches there!"

"Cause they'd all be fighting over me!" Danny retorted.

"Okay c'mon Pony? Scout? Johnny? Danny? Light the candle, three witches will help you out!"

"Why don't they light it together?" Bryon asked. "Super virgin!"

The four of them flipped Bryon off. But the four of them took Bryon's lighter and light the purple candle. At first a flame lit then a stranger dust errupted and the flame turned purple.

The lights flickered and sparks flew everywhere. Scout ducked while Johnny covered his face. Ponyboy coughed and Dahlia brushed the cobwebs away.

The door burst open and all of them dived into hiding places. But instead of cops shoes, odd clogs were heard on the hard floor. "We're home. Oh, sweet revenge. Did you see, sisters, my curse worked perfectly."

"Oh, that's because thou art perfect, sister. Oh, I knew I left this cauldron on, didn't I tell you? Oh, I knew it!" Zoena said.

Belina reaches behind a pillar and pulls a lucky rat tail. "My lucky rat tail! Right where I left it."

"But who lit the blue flame candle?" Dahlina sees her spellbook. "Wake up! Wake up sleepyhead! Oh, I missed you. Did you miss me too? Come on now, we've got work to do."

"Dahlina?" Zoena asked.

"Yes?"

"I smell greasers!"

They peered over all the objects and found all of them. "Hi there!"

"This one looks cute!" Zoena said, pinching Ponyboy's cheek.

"Let's cook him!" Belina squealed.

"This one needs to be fed more," Dahlina poked Johnny. "His twin is more full though."

"Stand back!" Two Bit held out a lighter. The Witches seemed shocked by the flame. "Drop the book, hags!" He held the flame up and the sprinklers turned on. The witches screamed.

"Sister, he looks like a fire and a water mage," Zoena spoke up.

Dahlina pointed her finger and a jet of water shot out at Two Bit, sending him backwards.

"As for my spell," Dahlina opened the book and begin chanting.

The black flame flickered and the cat jumped out. "Stop!" It yelled. Everyone, besides the witches, looked at each other wide eyed.

Dahlina send it back with the same stream of water she sent Two Bit back with. She pointed her hands at Danny. A puff of smoke errupted where he was and when the smoke cleared, the only thing left was a cat. "Guys listen to me!" it said in Danny's voice. "These guys aren't-" Dahlina picked the cat up and clamped it's mouth. It tried to bite her.

"What did you do to Danny you hags?!" Johnny demanded.

Belina circled Scout. "What should we do with her? Pretty little thing isn't she? All the boys must harass her! If I had her looks, I'd die!" He played with her hair. "Let's turn her into a peacock! So she can flash her feathers when she wants attention!"

"Get off you (beep)!" Scout slapped Belina's hand away. "I'm not the one who had to set a spell to come back after 300 years for attention!" Her voice shook a little.

Belina started laughing. Dahlina and Zoena joined in. "You guys are so guliable," Belina choked out.

"You should've seen your faces!" Zoena cackled.

"Don't hurt Johnny you hags!"

Dahlina mimicked.

The group started backing away. Dahlia still had her switchblade out. "It's great to see Danny again but I wouldn't turn him into a cat!" Dahlina pulled her wig off and revealed to be Bobbi.

After Zoena pulled hers off it was revealed she was Jerry. Belina, the last to pull her wig off, revealed herself as Curly.

"What the (beep)?!" Two Bit spoke up first, slowly putting his hands down.

"Wait if it's you how did you shoot us with water and turn Danny into a cat?" Ponyboy asked.

"The same way you opened a lighter and turned the sprinklers on," Bobbi replied.

"You can't turn someone into a cat or shoot them with water with a lighter or sprinklers," Scout snapped. "Atleast not turning them into a cat..."
Curly walked past her and pointed to a hose. Mark popped up, holding a hose. Bryon's eyes widened and Mark smirked. "When we pointed our fingers," Curly waved his fingers, "Markie got the signal to spray the hose!"

"Do you like tricks, Bryon?" Mark smirked, deeper. Bryon's jaw, twitched.

"As for the cat!" Curly continued, loudly. "When I chanted, I threw a stink bomb too. Wade pulled Danny away while we replaced him with the same cat. Wade is also the voice of the cat until we let Danny speak before we gagged him again. The effects are nice, don't you think?"

Danny was pushed out from behind the desk. "You know how to manipulate your mind, don't you Danny?" Bobbi asked. "How did you like our little trick?" Danny ripped his arms away from Wade.

"You follwed me all the way from California to do this?" Danny asked.

Bobbi laughed. "Don't flatter yourself, Danny? This was Curly's idea, to get revenge on Scout."

"Why can't you Shepard scum stay on your side of the lot?" Dahlia spoke up with venom.

"Calm down, broad," Freddy said with a chuckle. "It was just revenge for the cop trick. Plus this isn't your side, doll, unless you really are a Winderson sister..." He touched her hair. "Do you like the name? It was for you- oof!" Dahlia kneed him in the crotch and twisted his arm

"We can call the cops right now if we wanted to, (beep)," Dahlia replied, swinging her hair away, and pushing Freddy.

"You (beeps) like to go to lengths to harass don't you?" Scout asked Curly, turning on him.

Curly held his hands up. "Whoa , hold up a moment, broad. Who was the one to sic fake cops on me?"

"I should've sic'ed real cops on you!"

"For touching you? I can sic cops on your dear sister for harassing my friend. In fact guys can sic the cops on all you broads who think you can knee a guy in the crotch whenever you want."

"And what about you (beeps) who harass girls?" Johnny demanded, aggressively. "If you get fresh with a girl she has the right to knee you in the crotch."

"Tell you what," Curly cut in while Two Bit and Bryon cracked their knuckles(Mark was still smirking at Bryon). "You stop siccing Winston or real pig cops and we won't tell anyone how much you cowered!" He walked around Scout.

"Get off me (beep)! I'm not the one who had to set a spell to come back after 300 years for attention!" he immitated in a high pitch voice, complete with the shaking at the end.

Dahlia glared at Wade.

"You're always coming to our side of the territory! Stay on your side of the tracks!"

Wade glared back.

"We didn't cross anything! The field and this museum isn't your side! You're on our side!"

"Then what were you doing at our house on our side?"

Dahlia demanded.

"What about when your soc friend Cherry crosses our territory only five times a day?"

Wade demanded.

"Winstons are well known hypocrites,"

Mark sneered, staring at Bryon.

Angela appeared in the window, she was the second oldest Shepard sibling. "Bryon what do you want me to do with the rest of this Chromealum and Salt Peter? You cancled our date to play a prank?"

Bryon glanced at Mark and folded his arms,

"The pot calling the kettle black!"

"You're dating that (beep)?"

Dahlia laughed.

"Pot calling the kettle black!"

Angela retorted. "You're one of the chicks who have a relation with Winston, which means you're a whore by default," Angela glanced at Scout.

Curly was about to react to Dahlia calling his elder sister a whore but when Angela called Scout one, he flinched.

"You invented whoring,"

Dahlia retorted. "Because you're a Shepard."

"You're dating that (beep)?"

Bryon laughed.

"Better than the self rightous (beep) you're dating,"

Mark retorted.

"Leave my girlfriend out of it!"

Bryon snapped.

"Like you just left my girlfriend out of this?"

Mark asked.

"Your girlfriend can't keep away from anything,"

Dahlia glared at Angela.

"So you when did you start taking the law in your own hands, Danny?"

Bobbi asked.

"Since I met another group of hooligans,"

Danny replied. Freddy frowned.

Bryon and Mark got into a fist fight. Dahlia and Angela started to fight, too. Then Danny started fighting Bobbi and Freddy; using karate.

Johhny and Ponyboy took on Wade. Two Bit went between helping Bryon and Johnny and Ponyboy.

Curly pulled Scout back as one of them swung, violently. Curly was giong to help Wade, since he was outnumbered, but he was too surprised at the erruption around him. Scout was shocked too, she would've helped Dahlia, but she was too shocked at how the confrontation between them errupted so quickly.

"This isn't over!"

Mark exclaimed.

"Watch your back!"

Bobbi warned Danny.

"Watch yours, you don't know which gang you're messing with!"

Johnny retorted and Two Bit nodded.

"You breeched the treaty,"

Wade informed them.

"And you upheld it?"

Two Bit asked.

Scout felt someone pull her and looked up to see her sister pulling her away.

"You'll regret this, Wade,"

Dahlia told Wade, Wade smirked.

Curly watched them before Wade nudged him as the Shepard gang walked away.

0o0o

When Scout went back to her house, she thought of how easily a fight errupted between the Shepards and the Winstons.

"The Shepards are crossing the territory more often," Dahlia stated, bringing her out of her thoughts.

"Do they want a rumble?"

Steve asked.

"If that (beep) is itching for one, he should've just come and asked me,"

Dally grumbled.

"It's not Tim, it's Curly who was causing trouble,"

Two Bit explained.

"Oh mini Tim, when is little (beep) not causing trouble?"

Dally leaned back.

"Did Tim say anything?"

Sodapop asked.

"Tim wasn't even there when we went to their house,"

Dahlia replied.

"So the little (beep) is breaching the treaty without telling anyone in the gang,"

Dally snorted.

"What about Scout?"

Steve asked. "Why was she chasing Curly?"

"It's a natural reaction when someone breaks and enters your house then steals,"

Minnie replied.

"Don't get mouthy kid,"

Steve hissed. "Scout is breaching the treaty as well. So far we've managed to keep things under control. But what happens if we get into an all out war with them? The socs are still pissed at us for Bob losing his case. We can't afford to a war with them while the socs are after our blood."

"Scout you little (beep) what were you doing chasing that little (beep)? Avoid the Shepards, their stupidity rubs off on you,"

Dally turned to Scout.

"What's your excuse? Wait you were Tim's frenemy weren't you?"

Scout retorted. Dahlia gave her a high five.

"Lay off, Dally,"

Johnny said. "Whatever happened with Curly wasn't Scout's fault."

"That little (beep) likes to drag anyone he can down with his latest scheme,"

Dally agreed.

"But Scout can think for herself,"

Steve griped, "she could've thought before she chased a guy dressed like Jason out her window? Even if he weren't a Shepard, he was able to climb through the window on our territory, unnoticed. By any of these clowns!" Steve glared at Scout, Minnie, and Daisy.

"Lay off Steve,"

Ponyboy spoke up. "It's not any of their fault."

"The way they took matters in their own hands, it is,"

Steve replied.

"Took what matters?"

Darry came in from work.

"Nothing, Curly just caused some trouble for Scout then we sicced fake cops on him and Curly tried to scare us in the old mansion,"

Danny explained.

"And what about Cherry? Why is she crossing the Shepard territory so many times? Isn't it enough she gets us in trouble with her ex Soc boyfriend? She has her mansion to hide behind like a fortress. Why is she causing trouble here?"

Steve complained.

"Cherry doesn't antagonize them,"

Scout replied.

"Plus Tim is okay with Cherry,"

Sodapop added.

"But Wade noticed,"

Two Bit added.

"Only after I called them out on Curly coming to our side,"

Dahlia replied.

"Do they want another rumble?"

Darry asked.

"No they're just as pissed off at us like we're pissed off at them,"

Dahlia said.

"Then just leave it like it is,"

Darry replid. "If it's just Curly then Tim will take care of him if we tell him. But nothing will happen if we don't react. And Tim is still friends with Cherry so he won't care."

"She's nuetral?"

Ponyboy asked. "No one is nuetral."

"She's a soc, she doesn't have to chose a side. And Tim still likes her,"

Darry told him.

But Scout wasn't convinced for some reason.

Curly leaned in back on the couch when Tim stormed in and pulled Curly forward by his feet. Wade laughed. He had an icepack on his face and chewed Curly out for not helping him.

"That (beep)'s sister and gang members sic'd fake cops on you?"

"Yeah just because I caught that (beep)'s other sister in a net!"

Tim laughed and tapped Curly's head.

"You'll never change, bro!"

"That's not all, we scared them (beep)less at the museum,"

Wade bragged.

"And that Cade no LaRusso kid's twin,"

Bobbi hissed.

"Yeah did you know that Winston's pet had a twin?"

Curly asked.

"He's Winston's pet?"

Freddy sat up.

"Yeah, that's why Winston got caught up in the Bob thing,"

Curly replied.

"Is Winston as fond of him as his brother?"

Bobbi played with a lighter.

"Dally is fond of everyone around Johnny by default,"

Tim's face was illuminated by the flame.

"Even Cherry. She bums with them but I saw her cross this side before,"

Curly noted.

"Cherry is fine,"

Tim simply replied.
