Paper Venting
By: Aaliyah-Charity

A/N: Hi y'all! Please do not kill me after this fic! It was only to be funny and brighten up your day. I have noticed, however that many authors (including me!) like to make Darry read his paper. It was cute so I had to write about it! ^_^! Please review unless it's to flame! ^_^!

Disclaimer: "The Outsiders" and "Peanuts" don't belong to me. Neither does Godzilla or Dear Abby. Thank you.

Why is it that everyone thinks I'm boring? Even the fanfiction.net author Stephanie thinks I'm boring! I mean, I know I'm not as fascinating as Sodapop or Ponyboy but that doesn't mean you have to make me be so boring. Just don't put me in there if you think I'm so dull. And what's with this 'Darry reads the paper' thing everyone seems to like for me to do. Observe:

Excerpt from Story 1:
Soda and Mikey were doing 'homework' in Soda's room and Darry was reading the paper. Pony came in from his job at Target and ate a hamburger. Oh, and Two-Bit was eating beercake.

Story 2:
"Oh Soda!" Sandy said as they made out from under the couch where Darry was reading the paper. Steve and Two-Bit could hardly contain their laughter as the couch went up and down, up and down. Guess the 'Dear Abby' column was good today.

Story 3:
I, Johnny's cousin, came in to find Darry reading the paper as I kicked Dally in the butt and he chased me around. We had bundles of fun as he chased me around the room until I accidently kicked and tore the newspaper from Darry's hands. Let's just say-the outcome wasn't pretty.

Story 4:
"Well, Pony, you need your guardian's permission to be on this track team," the coach had told me. I went home and saw Darry reading the paper. He was engrossed in it because it was about a football player who got a football jammed up his-

Story 5:
As Sodapop put peanuts in the pancakes at the kitchen, Darry was comfortably seated in the armchair reading the newspaper. Ponyboy looked at his brothers and smiled.

Story 6:
"Hey!" Tim said as he entered the Curtis house. Sodapop and Steve were arm wrestling beside Darry, who was reading the paper.
"What?!" Two-Bit said, eating chocalate cake and beer at seven in the morning.
"There's a rumble tonight at the lot," he said, "Be there-7:00."
"Hey! That's twelve hours from now!" Two-Bit said smartly. Nobody noticed.

Story 7:
The gang was all screaming in utter fear as Godzilla looked in the window, except for Darry, who was intently reading the paper. Hey-who could blame him? 'Peanuts' is my favorite comic, too!

Story 8:
"Hey," Two-Bit said to Steve and Soda, "Did you see the news about the boy scout leader who molested his troop?"
"Ew, that's gross," they said at the same time.
"What about you, Superdope?" Steve asked Darry, who was in his favorite green armchair reading about it in the paper.

Story 9:
'Experts guess that by 2002, cloning will be possible,' the newspaper said. Darry laughed-impossible.

Story 10:
"DAR! YOU GOT MAIL!" Soda yelled as he threw an envelope at Darry's head. Darry was extremely grumpy about this because he was reading the 'Musicial Instruments' ads in the Classified section of the paper.
'Dear Mr. Curtis,
Our newspaper is in huge bankrupcy so no more newspapers for you. Sorry to inform you of this.
-Tulsa News
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Darry yelled.

See what I mean? My life is unfair. But who cares? No one........
