Authors Note: I am sooo sorry that i haven't updated in so long. I just started high school 2 weeks ago and i'm in honors classes so i've been getting overloaded with hw. I meant to write this chapter alot sooner but i could never find the time. Today i stayed home sick from school so i decided to update :). Sorry if this chapter seems short. i have the 16th one already half written and i'll be posting it later, so i figured that two short posts is equal to one long post. Anyway, this chapter is sort of pointless..but i didn't want to skip right to them going to dinner. Oh and i got The Outsiders Special Edition DVD. It's really good and it has a different beginning and end :).

Thank Yous:

Janai- ok, first of all, I DON'T CARE if you think my story sucks. I have 73 other reviews that are good and one bad so you know what, your flame did absolutly nothing to my self esteem. And you know what, i have said it before (or at least i think i have) you can flame and hate my story and i won't care because it's your own opinion. If you don't like Mary-Sue's, why did you bother reading my story? I am quoting you when you said "No real person is like this inispid wench" That's the point. this is called fanFICTION meaning that it ISN'T REAL. or did you not know that? so, in conclusion. thank you for your time. thank you for your flame.
Caitym- thanks for your review :). I am glad you like my story and I totally agree with everything that you said about the flamer. hope you like this next chapter.
Two-BitGortez- thanks for the review :)

Disclaimer: I don't own the Outsiders...unfortunatley :(.


Amber's POV

The rest of my day was pretty boring. I spent the majority of it sitting on the couch with Two-bit watching Mickey Mouse re-runs. Darry was at work. Soda and Steve had dates with Sandy and Evie. Pony, Johnny and Dally were at the movies and would be returning later on. Sitting on a couch all day watching Mickey Mouse got boring after a while, and eventually me and Two-bit fell asleep.

It was around 5 when Darry came home from work. He walked into the living room to find me and Two-bit still sleeping on the couch.

"Get up you lazy bums" he said. I groaned and changed my position on the couch but didn't wake up.

"Come on, you can't sleep your lives away"

I yawned and sat up to find Two-bit leaning against the arm rest of the couch, still sleeping. I poked him in the ribs a few times and he woke up and stared at me.

"Ow, what was that for?" He asked.

"I was just trying to wake you up" I said innocently.

"Yeah right" he said with and evil glint in his eyes.

"What are you thinking about Two-bit?"

As soon as I had asked the question, the answer came. Two-bit leaned forward, jumped on top of me and started tickling me.

"Ahh! Get off. Stop!" I yelled helplessly as we rolled of the couch and onto the floor with a big 'thud'. I tried to fight back but he was to strong and I was laughing to hard.

Just then the door opened and Pony, Johnny, Soda and Steve walked in. They came to an abrupt stop when they saw Two-bit and I on the floor. Pony cleared his throat, most likely trying to get our attention. Two-bit and I looked at them to see them all staring at us like we were crazy. The looks on their faces caused Two-bit and I to start laughing once again.

"What's wrong with them?" Steve asked.

"I think they've lost it" Pony said causing me and Two-bit to start laughing even harder. Then, an idea came to me. I stopped laughing and whispered something into Two-bits ear. He too stopped laughing and nodded his head. Staring at Pony and Soda, Two-bit and I got up and slowly approached them."What's going on guys?" Pony asked nervously. I guess he could tell that we were up to something.

"It's payback time boys" I said as I grabbed Pony and pulled him to the ground. I looked over to my left to find that Two-bit had done the same to Soda. I started tickling Pony and between fits of laughter and gasps for breath I heard him say "Amber stop!"

From beside me I heard Soda yelling the same thing as Pony.

"Darry" –breath- "help" –laugh- "us" he said.

Darry walked out of the kitchen, newspaper in hand, and said "Alright you two, that's enough."

Frowning, I stopped tickling Ponyboy and Two-bit released Soda. We got up and left the two boys on the floor gasping for breath.

"Well now, wasn't that random" Steve said as he and Johnny walked over to the couch.

"Extremely random" Johnny muttered to himself as he sat down next to me.

"So, what are we going to do tonight guys?" Steve asked.

"I promised Amber we could go out to dinner since it's her one month anniversary of living with us" Darry said.

"Wow, one month. How did you put up with us for so long?" Two-bit asked teasingly.

"I know! It's a miracle that I've survived" I said laughing.

"Well, it's almost 6. Let's go find Dally so we can go to the Dingo for some dinner." Darry said.

"Say Ponyboy, were did you leave Dally anyway? Wasn't he supposed to be with you and Johnny?" Soda asked.

"Yea, but he decided to stay after the movies to see if he could pick up any broads." Pony said.

"Oh, how wonderful!" I said sarcastically.

We all got up and walked out the door worry-free, not expecting to find what we did when we came home that night.


ok, hope you liked that chapter :). the next one will be up by tonight. review!
