Author's Note- So I'm sitting here and watching "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" Ok, what a lie. I'm actually watching Shane West but the movie is where I'm watching him. So anyway, here I go again rambling. I'll write the chapter now. Hopefully humor in this one? Maybe?

Disclaimer- I don't own the Outsiders, but you're some smart people you can figure that out, I'd be gloating about the release of "Hawkes Harbor" if I was S.E. Hinton.

Dedication- kina- Thanks for the review, and I certainly have a motive for making Soda go to Vietnam.

x fever x- It was weird writing that chapter because I wanted Aubrey to have someone to blame her frustrations on and I was like "Oooh Caroline is the perfect nemesis" and then I realized at the end of it she was sorta getting likeable and I was like "NOOOOO I can't think Caroline is a NICE person!" so I made Aubrey sort of hormonal there at the end. Ok that thoroughly confused me, on to the next person! Thank you times a million and one.

xohugsndkissesox- You're welcome and thank you very much. I hope this is soon enough for you and that you like this chapter.

Heyy- Oh no, you aren't going to accuse me of stealing your birth records and writing a story about you are you? Sorry, someone did that to my friend. But anyway, thank you very much and I hope I updated soon enough for you and that you like the chapter.

Mrs. Benji Madden- I know. I absolutely adore Good Charlotte and most of their songs. I can't believe that "We Believe" is going to be their new single though, but the video sounds pretty cool so I can't wait to see it. Its weird cuz Simple Plan are also doing a sad song for their next single. Caroline the bitch! Hehehe. Glad you like the story though, thanks muchly for the reviews and I hope you like this chapter.

Story-

Two-Bit's POV

If I'd known where I was when I woke up that morning I probably wouldn't have done what I did. What I did was jumped up from the arm chair, screamed shrilly like a little girl, and ran into the nearest room. The nearest room just so happened to be Aubrey's room where she was standing by the mirror pulling on some clothes. This brought me sharply back down to reality, and of course seeing a girl in her underwear in the middle of the room froze me into one spot instead of sending me running like seeing someone like Darry getting dressed would have done. This screaming and running and freezing all confused Aubrey terribly as well because she turned around, opened her mouth really wide, screamed and shoved me so hard that I fell back into the hall, and she slammed the door shut. This of course alerted the other people in the house who were Ponyboy, Caroline and Darry. The three of them immediately began running from the directions they were in, and Ponyboy and Darry collided painfully before making it to the hallway in question, and Caroline came from the other direction.

"Oh my god what happened?" She asked as she surveyed Ponyboy and Darry both in the floor rubbing their heads and wincing, me in the hallway with my eyes wide open and laughing maniacally because watching people collide is hilarious and Aubrey shrieking from in her room about perverted bastards. At her remark though Ponyboy and Darry were brought to hysterics as well and the two of them laughed maniacally as well, a few seconds later Aubrey came into the hallway.

"They've gone crazy" she muttered to herself, surveying the mess of a hallway, she looked cautiously over to Caroline who to her seemed like the only sane one.

"I think they have" she answered her, and then Aubrey grinned with delightfulness as she realized what happened. She collapsed into the floor with giggles as Caroline turned quickly away and went back to the kitchen. It was truly the first time any of us had a really good laugh since Steve found out he was being drafted.

Later

"God I thought you were a perverted freak when you ran into my room this morning" Aubrey told me with a laugh as she shoved me lightly towards the sidewalk, unfortunately since I was so drunk I was a little off balance and I almost fell over. We both laughed.

"No, I was just reallllllly confused, and I saw a half-naked girl and couldn't believe my luck" I explained as we walked briskly towards Jay's. The Dingo had been our local hang-out but it'd been blown to smithereens in a bombing a while back and they'd never really thought about building it again, either that or they were too lazy.

"You hungry?" she asked me quietly as we sat down at a booth.

"Starved" I answered, picking up a menu and then throwing it back down just as quickly. She smiled brightly and I was reminded of the old Aubrey.

"So am I" she said, picking up the menu and then throwing it down like I had. The waitress stopped at our table shortly afterwards.

"What are you planning on eating?" She asked with a long sigh like she'd rather be doing anything but working there at the time. The waitress was young, and she was pretty. A blonde I noted delightedly, and then I realized I happened to be there with a very pretty girl and turned my thinking cap off, and my thinking cap isn't in my head if you get my drift. So what if Aubrey wasn't as pretty as she had been, she was still good-looking.

"I'll take a cheeseburger, everything on it and a cherry coke" I informed her with a big grin. She didn't crack a smile, and I immediately checked her off my list for good. She had no sense of humor and I wasn't into her.

"I'll take the same, except make my cheeseburger plain" Aubrey said, opening a straw and bending it into squares, then finally placing it on the table and bouncing it around like it was a spring. As we waited for the 'delightful' waitress to come back we just stared around the place, not really talking to each other at all.

"So, how's your sister?" Aubrey asked me, staring past me at the window behind me. I wondered for a moment if she was asking out of politeness, or because she had nothing else to say but when she looked at me I realized she was asking out of genuine concern.

"She's doing OK. She's in high-school this year, she's had a bunch of guys after her but I've been running them off" I answered her with a laugh. She gave me a smile, and her eyes twinkled briefly.

"Running them off?" she said with a twisted smile.

"Sure. Wouldn't want any guys taking off with my baby sister would I? I know how guys are, I'm a guy myself and I know what's on my mind constantly" I told her, leading her to believe I was talking about sex or something, when in all actuality the thing on my mind constantly was Aubrey herself.

"Perv" she said sweetly, and she patted my cheek.

"Hey hot stuff" A voice from beside us said. I turned around but Aubrey didn't.

"Get away Buck" she said in a gravelly voice, even though she hadn't seen him she apparently knew who it was. I recognized this person as Buck Merrill, a friend of Dally's before he'd died, he'd been interested in Aubrey I remembered. I prided myself on my memory…wait my memory was terrible. Whatever.

"Alright, alright. But if you're feeling lonely with Dallas dead and all you can come to me. I'll comfort you" he said with a wink. I thought Aubrey was going to jump out of her seat and choke Buck to death at that moment, and she probably would have if I hadn't gotten so angry myself. I jumped up, grabbed him by the throat and threw him into the table beside our booth.

"Leave her the hell alone and don't mention Dallas again to her. You hear me?" I screamed at him, feeling suddenly overcome with a burning anger. Aubrey looked shocked for a second as I looked back at her but she wiped that off of her face quickly.

"Yeah" Buck stammered, and I was about to punch him when Aubrey grabbed my arm and pulled on the sleeve of my jacket.

"Come on Two-Bit, let's go" she said in a soft voice. I turned to her, then back to Buck and finally followed her out of the door without eating.

"Sorry" I told her gruffly as I pulled a beer out of the pocket of my jacket and took a large swallow of it.

"It's OK, Buck's a jerk but I don't want you picked up by the fuzz because of something he said" she told me with a low sigh that sounded like a growl. That's when we noticed the fight going on in the park. It wasn't very rare that you found a fight because a lot of people were spending time beating each other to a pulp when they had nothing else to do but this one was different and we realized why after only a few short moments of watching.

"It's Ponyboy!" I realized and shouted at Aubrey whose eyes opened wide, and the two of us ran towards the mob scene unfolding before us.

Author's Note- Sorry it was rather short. I got kind of confused and I've missed more than ¾ of "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"
