I don't own The Outsiders


Chapter Thirteen…

Had it only been about seven days since Kristina had started talking to Dally? Was it only seven days that she had met the gang? How could it feel like an entirety when it was truly just a week since all this had happened? And now she sat, her stomach twisting and turning as if it where going for the gold in the Olympics, waiting nervously as the Judge shuffled his papers around and cleared his throat. Just hurry the hell up and stop putting it off, Kristina thought to herself, a craving of hurling up her breakfast up coming upon her. God she hated it when people left you hanging on a cliff…

Judge Jenkins took a seat, and was mirrored by the rest of the crowd. He coughed softly and sorted out some papers. "I have come to a verdict that Johnny Cade and PonyBoy Curtis are in fact innocent of man slaughter but instead this case is put down as self-defense." he said firmly, his eyes revealing a smile towards Johnny and PonyBoy.

Tears of happiness rimmed Kristina's soft gray eyes as the judge made his final ruling. Johnny and Pony weren't guilty with murder, instead it was considered self-defense! Soda Pop and Darry grabbed Pony Boy hugging him tightly with happiness. She hugged Dally, who stood at her side, and pecked him on the check before turning to Johnny. Smiling softly she opened snatched him, strangling him in a tight hug in which an older sister would give her younger brother.

Over the short time she had known Johnny and Pony they felt like brothers too her and Johnny had nobody to share his happiness with that he wouldn't be sent to jail for life or get the death sentence. Even though he was 16 years old, only a year or so younger then her, she had treated him with kindness and you could say a bit of motherliness because right of the bat she knew he need some kind of care.

She loosened her grip, smiling at him, "I told you I'd get you out of this." she said softly kissing him on the forehead in a family like way. He smiled, "Thank you." he said softly before Two-Bit yanked him away starting a big conversation with him.

"So lover boy looks like my plan worked," she said turning back to Dally. "I'm glad it did, I wouldn't want Johnny or Pony to end up like me." he said no character at all in his voice. "I dunno your turning out pretty good, I'm still working out a few more edges off ya." she said sarcastically. He gave her a comical look, "A few? I think you made a mistake choosing to deal with me." he said. "Hmmm…" she said pausing to look him up and down, "Nah I think I made the right choice."

Arm draped around Johnny's shoulder Two-Bit butted in. "Congratulations!" he cheered happily. "What do ya mean?" Kristina asked managing not to laugh at Two-Bits, high on life, personality. "For having Dallas Winston under control so well! I never saw him so…umm yea…" he paused lost in his train of thought. Dally gave him a hard stare and both Johnny and Kristina laughed. "Whoa! You're a miracle worker! Not only for your looks, or the control you have over Dally but you got this kid to laugh!" Two-Bit said in fake shock. Laughing she rolled her eyes, "Two-Bit are you wasted?" she asked raising an eyebrow. "Ha! Me wasted? You gotta be kiddin!" he said just then Pony, Soda and Darry came over. "Who's a miracle worker?" Soda asked ruffling Johnny's short hair. "Dally's girl." Two-Bit said matter-o-factly. Stepping back to Dally's side, already grinning Kristina looked up at him. "You're Dally's girl?" Soda asked with astonishment. Shrugging her shoulders she merely said, "Yea you can say that." Soda looked her up and down once more, not believing a supposed Socs girl was dating Dallas Winston. "Amazing ain't it?" Kristina said rolling her eyes. "She's also the one that got Johnny and Pony out of this…" Dally added in a quiet tone in case any of the wrong people would over here. "Well then I guess she is." Darry said nodding his head with thankfulness.
