AN: Thanks for the reviews! And yes, my Outsider reference was when Darry said Soda looked younger sleeping! I hope y'all enjoy this! I hate that it's not that long, but I'll try to make them longer.

It was 10 am at the Curtis house. Soda, Pony, and Darry were still sleeping. Just then, Two- Bit bursts in, hollering ''Good- mornin' Curtis'!'' while slamming the door behind him. Soda groaned. He sat up from the couch. ''Dang it, Two-Bit, can't you just hush up?'' Two-Bit was in the kitchen by then, getting a beer. He smiled sheepishly. ''Nope. Two-Bits can NEVER hush up.'' He went back into the living room, where he found Soda sleeping again, taking up all the couch space. So Two-Bit being Two- Bit pushed Sodapop off and settled himself on the couch. Soda groaned. ''Why'da do that for!?''

''Because you were taking up the space.''

Soda rolled his eyes. ''Well why didn't you just ask me to move?''

Two-Bit smirked. ''Because you looked liked sleeping beauty. I didn't want to disturb your beauty sleep.''

Soda lightly smacked Two-Bit in the arm and went to the bathroom.

''Hey Soda, where's Superman?''

Soda came back. ''I don't know. Sleepin' probably.'' he yawned.

Two-Bit got up from the couch and he went to look for Darry. He found Darry and Ponyboy huddled under a blanket in Pony's room.

''Hey get a looky at Superman here!'' Two-Bit laughed.

Darry then stirred and opened his eyes. He blinked several times before he focused on Two-Bit. ''Two-Bit, what're you doin?''

''Oh you know, just staring at y'all sleeping, like the usual.'' Two- Bit joked.

Darry rolled his eyes and got up, careful as to not wake Ponyboy. He went into the kitchen and started making some coffee. Just then, the door slammed again and Steve walked in.

''Mornin' Darry.''

''Mornin.''

Steve settled himself on the couch beside Two-Bit. Darry was in his armchair drinking coffee. And Sodapop was asleep, with his head on the coffee table and his legs extended out. It was actually quiet in the Curtis house. But Steve broke the silence.

''Hey where's the kid?''

Darry looked over at him. ''He's still sleepin'. Had a rough night. I had to sleep with him.''

Steve rolled his eyes and muttered, ''Ain't that kid too old to be sleepin' with his brothers?''

Darry glared at Steve. ''He had a nightmare. You should shut that mouth of yours little man, before I shut it for you.''

Steve knowing Darry was being serious, instantly shut his mouth.

An hour later, the whole gang was at the Curtis house. They were talking about the arrangement of the rooms and who would bunk with who.

''Alright, so y'all listen up! There are 4 rooms and there's 7 of us. We need to figure out who will be with who.'' Darry said.

Everyone quieted down and looked at Darry. Darry continued. ''Alright, I think that Pony and Soda should have a room together.''

Steve griped. ''Why? I wanted to bunk with Soda!''

''He's been having some nightmares lately, and Soda can calm him down the fastest, so that's why.'' Darry said sternly.

Ponyboy was embarrassed that Darry mentioned his nightmares to the gang, but they all seemed to understand, except Steve apparantly.

''Speaking of you Steve, you and Two-Bit will bunk together.'' Darry said.

Steve groaned and Two-Bit had a wide grin on his face. ''This is gonna be so much fun! We can tell scary stories, and stay up late, and eat 'til we get sick!''

Steve looked at Two-Bit. ''If you come anywhere near me, I will hurt you.''

Two-Bit just laughed.

Darry cleared his throat. ''So that leaves Johnny and Dally to bunk with eachother.''

Johnny smiled and you could tell that Dallas was happy that he got Johnny as his roommate.

''But wait, what about you Superman?'' Dally asked.

''Oh I'm going to get my own room.'' Darry said.

''What!? That ain't fair!'' Steve complained.

''I think it's fair. Darry has worked the hardest outta all of us, so it's only fair that we let him breathe.'' Soda argued.

''I guess.'' Steve said, but you could tell he was a little irritated.

''Alright, so y'all should start packing, we have about 5 hours until we leave.'' said Darry. Everyone nodded and went their own ways to get their stuff ready.

5 hours later the gang showed up at the Curtis house with their bags. They piled into Darry's truck. They were all squished, but made it work. They drove for about 7 hours. Everyone was in a great mood except Steve who was tired of Two-Bit singing Blue Suede Shoes off-key.

They finally arrived at the port. They were suprised at how big the ship was. ''Golly, look at that thing.'' Johnny said.

''Well what're we waiting for? Let's get on!'' Two-Bit said as he ran over to the ship with the gang following him.

They didn't know how much trouble they were getting into.
