Ahh!! I'm so sorry it took me so long!! I'd like to thank all my reviewers!! YOU ROCK! Also...I'm not sure who, but someone asked me if these Socs were related to the kid who was picking on Dani. No, they're not.

Rachel was the first to get to them.

"Let go of her!" She yelled.

"Well, well, well," One of the Socs sneered. "Look who it is. Another Curtis. Just as well, two for the price of one."

"Keep dreaming!" Rachel yelled and punched him in the gut. As the fight began, Rachel yelled out to Pony.

"Get Dani out of here, and take her home!" Pony grabbed Dani and took her home as he tried to comfort her. The fight was going well for the greasers. It was an even amount of people, and the greasers were just better. Rachel had her Soc down in a matter of seconds and then went to help Steve. She knew he didn't need the help but the faster they got rid of the Socs the faster she could go tend to her baby sister. The Soc Steve was fighting was really big and he was good, though. And since the greasers only had Dani on their mind, and they weren't concentrating on the fight. So were unable to make him fall right away. Two-bit then finished his Soc and snuck up behind the Soc. He hit him from behind and he fell. They then all ran to the Curtis house to find a frantic Pony trying to calm a hysterical Dani. Rachel ran over to her and picked her up.

"Shh, baby, its okay." She tried to soothe. "It's okay, no one's gonna hurt you anymore. It's okay." In the back of their heads they were all thinking about the fact that Dani left the school by herself. But considering the circumstances, they all silently agreed to put it off until later. After about half an hour, they were able to calm Dani down enough for her to tell them what had happened.

"I was just walking home and they came up and started taunting me and then one of them slapped me and then you came!" She chocked out beginning to cry again. Any random passerby would have noticed the angry fire in their eyes. Rachel calmed her down again and couldn't resist asking. She had to know.

"Why were you walking home alone, Dani?" She asked softly but sternly.

"'Cause I thought you forgot about me!"

"Dani, listen to me," Rachel began. "Never walk home alone, okay? We'll never forget you! Never! And you know why?"

"Why?" She asked with a sniff.

"Because," Rachel said. "We love you. You know that don't you?" Dani nodded.

"If you ever find that you're in school later than you're supposed to be, tell the secretary to call Darry or Soda. Okay?" Dani nodded again. Rachel picked her up and hugged her close. Dani returned the hug and began to slightly cry again. She was comforted and then eventually she fell asleep on the couch since the days events had exhausted her.

Okay!!! It's not that good and it's short...but still...and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry that it took me so long. Please review. And make it long? Please? Okay, thanks. Until next time,

Ale
