Disclaimer: S.E. Hinton owns the Outsiders I own um, er, uh, Sasta. Yeah. That's a good name (its mine lol).
Soda's POV
"I'm serious Steve. I'm really not kidding. That girl was really really weird!" I told my best friend Steve walking into my house.
"Weirdly hott. That's all I'm saying Sodapop. She was HOTT. End of discussion," Steve countered.
"What about your girlfriend? I mean she was cute kinda but, I mean I'm a taken man," I told him sitting on the couch.
"Hello there guys," Twobit said walking in with a girl.
"Meet Sasta. You can call her Sas though," he told us.
"Hey, you're the guys I saw at that DX," she said in a really quiet voice. Almost like Johnny's....
"Hey Sasta!" said Johnny looking up.
"Hello Johnny Cade. Staying out of trouble as usual I see," she said smiling and sitting next to him.
"Soda here thinks you're weird," Steve said nodding at me.
Her cheeks turned red as she mumbled, "Why would you think that?"
"He thinks you're unusually quiet, like Johnny," he answered.
"I don't think you're weird just a little on the non-talking side," I countered trying to defend myself.
"Nuh uh. I heard you say she was weird," Dally said staring me in the eyes.
"It's ok. Me and Johnny are alike. I'm just quieter. Right Cade?" She asked.
"Sure thing Cade," he answered.
"Wait a sec. How do you know Johnny?" Dallas asked.
Her eyes got big. She had black eyes, just like Johnny....
"Well I'm his cousin. You think he called me Cade for no reason?"
Everyone looked suprised. "Well I'll be. Johnny is definitely no where near as hott as you," Steve said.
She hugged Johnny. "I know he beats me by a long stretch," and she smiled at him.
"Winston I'm going to kill you!" Tim shouted as he ran in. "Curly saw you slashing my tires and now you're going to pay you filthy bastard."
Sasta's POV
I just stared at him. No idea who he was. "Sheesh Johnny you lied to me. You told me southerners were gentleman."
"I didn't tell you that, Twobit did," He said.
"Oh yeah. Sheesh Twobit. You lied to me," I said grinning.
He cocked an eyebrow and I cocked one back.
"Wow," said the boy who was raving earlier.
"Uh, I'm Tim Shepard," he told me.
"Let's all give a round of applause for that," I answered sarcastically while giving slow claps.
I put my head on Johnny's shoulder and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes again and Tim was gone.
"So," Sodapop started, "how are you guys related again?"
"My mom's sister is Johnny's mom and my dad's brother is Johnny's dad," I told him.
"Oh, right then," Sodapop said.
"So. Nothing goin' on tonight? No action? Where are all the crazy parties and gang fights. I mean if it's always this quiet I'm going back to California," I told them.
"Woah," Twobit said, "Your a girl."
"I'm a bored girl. Trust me. Doing my hair and nails just don't seem like my idea of fun. Now watches people get there faces beat in, that's entertainment," I answered.
"Hey Johnny. I thought you told us your cousin was a girly girl," Sodapop said.
"She went and changed on me I guess," he answered.
"You told them I was girly? If you weren't my favorite cousin I'd kill you," I said, staring hard at Johnny.
"But, I'm your only cousin Sas," he told me.
"So," I said looking at Dallas, "That's a no on the fun stuff huh?"
"Fun stuff. We got stuff that'll blow your mind kid. Wanna start her off at the Dingo? Introduce her to some hoods?" Dally said grinning.
I jumped up and so did Johnny. "Sounds like a plan. Let's go," I started walking out the door with Johnny.
"Want a piggyback ride Sasta?" Twobit asked me.
"Yeah sure," I said hopping on his back.
We walked on for a few blocks like that. The gang looking tuff. Me on Twobit's back. Johnny looking scared outta his mind. After a while I slid off of his back and walked on my own.
"Uh oh you guys. Trouble at 3' o clock," Steve announced.
"But it's 9:32," I said confused.
"Just hang back a little alright kid," Dally said angrily.
I shrugged and watched as a red Corvair pulled up beside the boys. They all got out and each gang looked like they wanted to kill the other. "Socs," Johnny whispered in my ear so I'd know what was happening.
But four of the five Socs just stood there staring hard as the tallest, most likely the leader, came over to where me and Johnny were standing.
"Wow," I thought, "He's kinda cute. Hm, wonder if he's nice,"
"Hey kid. Whatcha doin' with this trash? You should be with us," he said nodding towards the other four.
"I mean your too cute to be walkin' around with these bums," he said placing a hand on my arm.
"Don't you touch her!" Dallas shouted. "It's seven to five and your on our side of town."
By now my cheeks were burning and my ears were hot looking into his eyes. "Call me," he whispered into my ear while putting a slip of paper in my hand. I instantly put it into my pocket so the guys wouldn't see.
With that, he turned around, got into the car with his buddies and they drove off. All the guys gathered around me.
"Don't ever ever EVER get involved with scum like that, you hear me?" Darry asked.
"Why not," I asked. All mouths dropped.
"What do you mean why not?" Dally said, "Cause he's a jerk that's why not."
"Whatever you say. Personally from a girl's point of view. I thought he was kinda cute," I told them.
"Cute? Hahahahaha! He will never be cute, just evil. Now let's go kid," Dally said. He was getting very red. I think he was angry.
"Well kiddo, here's the Dingo," Sodapop told me as we walked up to a drive thru/resturaunt.
We went inside and for about and hour we went around and I got introduced to about 100 million people. I was anxious to see that boy again. But where was he? I couldn't seem to find him anywhere. Johnny bought me a coke and asked me what I was looking for as he gave it to me.
"It better not be Bob. I'm gonna beat that bastard's head in next time I seem him. Johnny look what he's doing to your cousin. She's like in love or something," Dallas said bitterly.
"How can I be in love if the first time I heard his name was right now?" I countered.
"Love at first sight?" Darry offered.
"Your all weirdos," I said looking at Twobit, "Next time I think a guy it cute I'll just tell him."
"So why haven't you told me yet Sasta?" Twobit asked.
"Oh Toob. You already know I think your cute," I said laughing.
"Only cute?" He asked.
"Ponyboy wrinkled his nose and said, "How could anyone think that is cute."
"I'm special leave me alone," I said pretending to sniffle.
"Nightly Double or Buck's house," I asked looking at Dal.
"How do you know Buck?" He asked.
"One crazy night in his car down by the river," I answered girnning.
"Ewwww," Everyone said at once.
"I'm just kidding," I said rolling my eyes, "That's how I met Toob."
"Yup. That's how I remember it," He said nodding toward the door and standing up.
Everyone else stood up and we proceeded outside.
"Nightly Double it is then," Toob said draping an arm around my shoulder.
Twobit's POV
Man was Sasta cute. I met her two years ago when she was thirteen. She should be about 16 now but I don't know.
"Hey Sas, how old are you?" I asked her.
"I'm fifteen. I'll be sixteen in three days though," she said grinning.
"Hey Johnny guess what," she said really excited.
"Um, your parents are gonna let me move in?" he guessed.
"No, even better!" She said excitedly.
"Better? You mean they're gonna adopt me."
"No.No.No silly. I'm moving in with you guys for the school year!" She said smiling.
"Wha- Why?" He asked.
"Cause. Remember that school I got switched to. It's here in Tulsa and my parents don't wanna move here so. Tada I'm all your's till next summer!"
We reached the Nightly Double snuck under the fence and Sas and I sat in the last row, while the others sat up front.
"I like back seats," she told me smiling.
"Yeah well i think you just wanted to be alone with me," I said, kissing the top of her head.
She giggled and whispered, "Maybe, Maybe not." And she kissed my cheek.
We spent most of the movie making out but we waited until all the guys were really deep into it.
"Come with me to get a drink," she whispered.
Ponyboy's POV
I saw Twobit and Sasta get up and nudged Johnny.
"They're probably going to get a drink or some popcorn," he whispered.
"Yeah right," Dally said," They're probably going to find somewhere to have sex. Haha."
"Or makeout," Steve said.
"Or find a fight," Soda said.
"I'm stickin' with my drink theory," Johnny said.
Sure enough when they came back she had a Coke in her hands. Sipping on it they slipped back into their seats. We all waved to them and they waved back, so we turned around to watch the movie again. The next time I turned around I saw them deep in a kiss.
"Wow," I mumbled to myself.
"Yeah, this is a pretty cool fight scene ay Pony?" Soda asked me.
"No. Well yeah but, they didn't even need to go somewhere else."
"Well Pony actually they did. They moved into the park see," he told me.
I shook my head," No no no. I mean Twobit and Sas."
He turned around, looked, and quickly turned back around. He gulped. "Wow. Just don't say anything, k Pon?"
"Sure Sure." I told him.
When the movie was over they were innocently sitting in the back. Twobit stretching while she was still sipping on that Coke.
"Sheesh kid. How long does a Coke last ya?" Dally asked.
"Longer when your making out," Soda whispered to me.
We both laughed and she cocked an eyebrow at me. So did Twobit.
"What was that Sodapop? Couldn't quite hear you, distracted by the whore over there. She nodded to where. Sandy was walking towards us.
"That's not a whore, that's my girlfriend," he said waving to her.
"Eh, same thing to me," Sasta said.
"Ohmigosh! Sassy how ya been!" Sandy asked her.
"Fine how about you?" Sas asked her back.
"She called you a whore," I told Sandy.
"Ponyboy," Soda said.
"Hey man. She started it!" Sas said.
They both laughed and I was confused.
We walked back to the house and all sat around watching tv. Sas fell asleep in Twobit's lap.
"So what was that all about at the movies man?" Soda asked him.
"What was what all about? The soda? She was thirsty," Twobit said.
"No that liplock you guys were in. Sheesh you'd think you guys had been stuck like that for years," Soda told him.
"Oh that. What can I say. I like her, I guess," Twobit said.
"Hey man, you'll have all year. Besides she like Bob remember?"Johnny said to Twobit.
"Yeah whatever, I kissed her, not Bob. She's a pretty cool chick you guys," Twobit told us.
And after that we all just sat still and watched Mickey Mouse.
