I don't own THE OUTSIDERS


Chapter Four….

Johnny and PonyBoy departed from the group and it seemed Kristina, Dally and Two-Bit where walking for no reason. A junky car pulled up on the curb by them, in everyway but quiet. "Yo! Dally, Shepherd wants to talk to you!" the driver in the car called. "Why?" Dally questioned, before long all three of them where pilled in the car driving to where they just walked from. "Now is this a popular thing for Dally, to have all these people after him?" Kristina said over the loud rumbling car's engine. Dally chuckled, he chuckled a lot, "Just about." his gentle voice he had used a bit ago was gone and he was back to his harsh voice. "Dally what you'd do to make Shepherd so mad?" the guy driving said turning his head toward them, taking his eyes off the road. "Ahh shit he wants to scrap?" Dally said grimly.

"Yea he is pretty pissed."

"I musta sliced his tires…" Two-Bit laughed, "Musta? Gee Dally how stupid do you get?" Dally socked him in the arm hard, Two-Bit looked like he was about to hit him back. "Hey! Not with me in the middle, I'm not about to get hit by one of yous!" Kristina said firmly. Luckily after all three gave her a questioning look they obeyed and where quiet. She soon settled into the piece of junk these guys called a car.

"Is that your gang or another one?" Kristina asked quietly as she walked next to Dally approaching a good sized crowd. "Another one." he said coolly, obviously not fazed that he was going to be fighting in a matter of minutes, he actually seemed a little eager about it. Shepard turned and started walking over. "Two-Bit keep watch of her." Dally said before walking the rest of the gap in between him and Shepard. "I'm not a kid I don't need to be watched over!" Kristina opposed softly standing next to Two-Bit.

Kristina was soon happy that Dally had instructed Two-Bit to stay with her, because as soon as one of the two went for the first punch everybody was alive, shoving and pushing each other to get a good view. She bit her lip watching Dally and Shepard fight fiercely. Both seemed to have equal skill in fighting. Shepard soon got out his anger on Dally and backed away, with an eye that would surely be black and blue by tomorrow. With one hand rapped around his chest Dally walked towards them. "What did you hurt?" Two-Bit and Kristina both asked, walked over to him. "No, he just refreshed an old wound." Dally said, his hand dropping from his side an into his coat pocket fishing out a cigarette and lighter. "Doesn't seem like he refreshed it, seems like he made it!" Two-Bit said, like usual cracking a stupid joke. "Shut up Two-Bit." Dally warned, Two-Bit snorted before laughing.

"You know you should put something on your chest." Kristina advised as they walked down the path they had just left about thirty minutes ago. "I told you its fine!" Dally said stubbornly, frustrated about both she and Two-Bit telling him to take care of himself. "I'm going to get going; I'll go find something to get into." Two-Bit said as they reached a street corner, dimly lit by a flickering street light. "See ya." Dally said nodding his head. "Bye Two-Bit." Kristina said waving with her one hand, the other was entangling with Dally's.

She smiled softly, "Sooo…" she said softly. "You leaving too?" he asked. "Not if you don't want me too, but it's getting kinda late." she said adjusting herself so she was in front of him rather then at his side.

"No you can stay with me."

"Want to come to my house?" she asked biting her tongue, not believing what she just asked. Please say no, please, she thought to herself hoping it wasn't visible in her facial expressions. Raising an eyebrow he looked down at her, "Yea why not." Forcing a small grin she turned to the direction of her house getting ready to walk. "Kristina?" Dally's questioning voice asked her, she turned rather slowly not knowing what to expect. His lips touched hers in a harsh manner and she pulled away slightly, in shock, but some how her lips found their way back to his…
