Thank you all for reading and reviewing! Here's chapter two.
The six walked into the Dingo and got a booth. After living in New York, where there was much crime and where gangs ruled, Blade and Matt knew to watch their backs. Therefore, Blade asked,
"Is there anything we should be aware of here?" Sodapop, Ponyboy, Steve and Two-bit all looked at each other. Then Sodapop nodded.
"By your looks, you'd be greasers…but where do you live?"
"Off of Roosevelt Street…2032 East 56th terrace. The second to last house."
"Really?" Ponyboy asked. Matt and Blade nodded.
"That's right next door to me and Soda's house."
"That's cool." Blade said.
"Yeah," Steve said. "Ya'll are definitely Greasers."
"There are Socs and there are Greasers here…" Two-bit began. "The Socs live in the West and we live in the East. We're kind of like rival gangs except neither gang is organized like you'd have it in New York…The Socs are rich and we're…well, poor. Socs like to jump Greasers. Especially lone Greasers. Which is why we like to walk alone as little as possible. Occasionally, there are rumbles."
"There are rumbles!" Blade interrupted with a smile. "Maybe we can make this work!" Matt nodded his agreement, smiling as well.
"Hey, Greasers!" A deep voice suddenly called. Because of they had just heard, Matt and Blade stiffened. The others didn't though because they recognized the voice.
"Hey, Tim." Two-bit said as the one who was apparently Tim walked over to them with a mini version of himself next to him.
"What do we have here?" The mini one asked indicating Matt and Blade.
"Tim, Curly," Soda introduced. "This is Matt and Blade. They just moved here from New York." The four shook hands.
"Tim and Curly are greasers too." Ponyboy said.
"I realized." Blade said.
"But Tim pretty much has his own gang." Ponyboy finished. Curly slid in to the booth next to Blade and put his arm around her.
"Hey, babe." Blade looked at him disgust and noticed Matt stiffen next to her. Matt had always been the protective big brother.
"Get your arm off me." Blade answered harshly pushing his arm off rather aggressively.
"Feisty!" Curly said. "I like that!" He put his arm back around her and slid in closer to her. Matt was stiffening more and more by the moment. He knew not to interfere though. He knew Blade could handle herself just as well as he could, but if this kid pushed it too far he wouldn't care if he was kicking Curly while he was down because he would already be down after Blade got through with him and Matt would just kick his ass all over again. Blade was keeping her cool.
"Tim, is he in your gang?" Blade asked Tim knocking Curly's arm off again.
"Uh, yeah." Tim answered rather confused as to why she'd be asking this.
"Just 'cause he's your brother, right? I mean what kinda gang leader would let someone so stupid into their gang?" Everyone laughed a little and Curly began to get pissed. He put his arm around her again.
"Stop playing hard to get." He leaned in for a kiss.
"Guess I'm gonna have another gang on my ass." Blade said right before she punched Curly in the nose. Curly was already kind of falling off the chair since there was no room for more than three and it was already Blade, Matt and Two-bit. He fell to the floor holding his nose.
"She broke it!" Curly yelled. "She broke it! Tim, do something!"
"Nope." Tim looked down at him. "You had it coming, little brother." Tim stepped over Curly and sat down next to Blade.
"You handle yourself pretty good." Tim complemented Blade. He looked down at Curly again and then back at Blade. "Really good."
"Tim!" Curly called. He was bleeding.
"Curly!" Tim said really harshly. "Stop being such a baby. Get up and fuckin' put something on it, G-d Dammit!" Curly didn't answer. He really looked up to Tim and he didn't like that Tim was thinking of him as a weak wimp. Curly got up off the floor with a groan and walked over to a waitress cleaning a table. He snatched the rag out of the waitress's hand and put it on the nose.
"Real smart!" Blade said to him sarcastically. "Cleaning your blood with a dirty rag. No way it'll get infected! You should be a doctor!" All the Greasers began to laugh and Curly just stomped out of the restaurant.
"Real bright brother you got there." Blade told Tim.
"Well, he's got his moments." Tim said. "But he is my brother. So cool it." Blade nodded.
"Fair enough." She agreed.
"So is this the whole gang?" Matt asked.
"Nah." Soda said. "We're missing Darry. He's my older brother. Johnny and Dally." There was a flicker in Blade's eyes at the mention of the name Dally that no one but Matt noticed. Upon noticing it he said,
"Hey, Blade, could I talk to you for a minute?" Blade nodded and they went outside.
"Look," Matt said. "I know you're thinking of Dally…don't. Forget about him."
"I can't forget about him, Matt! He was my best friend! My brother! Still is! It's like some kinda unwritten law or something!"
"He just left!" Matt argued. "And you're never gonna see him again! Don't depress yourself by thinking of him."
"It's not like I constantly think about him! Someone with the same name was mentioned and it evoked a memory! That's it! Don't worry." Matt sighed.
"Okay. Just checking. I worry about you."
"I know." Blade answered. "But don't. I'm fine." Matt nodded.
'I do miss ol' Dal though…' She thought as they went back inside.
A little obvious foreshadow…So? What do you think? You like? Is it any good. Dally's going to come in soon. Next chapter or the one after that. I totally made up the address…I have no idea how the streets work in Tulsa so I just put down the first president to come to mind since there are streets names after presidents everywhere, and the first numbers to come to mind….

Missy: Thank you! I'll try to update fast. I'm really busy though, I'm in a play in school and it takes up a lot of time. For example, tomorrow, (Sunday) I have rehearsal from three PM to nine. So I'll try to hurry the updates.
