Hey All..I don't own Outsiders that belongs to S.E.Hinton...Here's a lil. story for you...

"The Aftermath"

"When I stepped into the sun, I only had two things on my mind, Paul Newman and a ride home.."Ponyboy said writing to himself not noticing a shadow gazing over his shoulder. It was a young girl who was fasinated by Ponyboy's creativity. It had only been a few months since the tradegy involving Ponyboy, Dallas and Johnny. I guess it would be nice to say they lived happily ever after. Johnny could walk again after intense back surgery. Dallas actually got to look at a sunset and changed. No. That didn't happen at all. Johnny and Dallas were dead. Ponyboy was still sad by it. The Soc wern't treating them that bad anymore of what had happen. Cherry still ignored him. Though on certain occations she would smile or say a simple 'hello' to him. Nothing really changed. He was still a greaser living in a soc infested world. The greasers just praying that soon one day they'll belong.

"What are you writing about?" A small squeaky sound startled Pony out of his thoughts. He turned to see your average girl standing at about 5' 3 inches probally weighed about 106 lb. She had wavy blonde hair, with pouty lips and a stub of a nose with long eye lashes and high cheek bones. When she smiled her teeth brightened the day more than the sun. She was nor soc or greaser. She was a middle classie.

"Oh. Just a personal experence I've had..." He said quietly. She smiled and said "Really? Can I read it?"

He smiled softly at her and replied "It's not finished yet."

"It's all right. So your ponyboy? The amazing hero everyone is talking about."

"I guess. But who's talking? That was 3 months ago."

"Right. But the story hasn't died yet."

Ponyboy sighed, "Well what do you want?"

"I want to help you put your life back in order. I know your feeling down"

"How can you? Sodapop is leaving for viatnam soon.I just have so much on my mind right now. Okay? I don't need charity!"

"Im Sorry. I just wanted to help. I wasn't giving you any charity." She turned and was about to walk away.

"Wait.."Ponyboy said, "What's your name?"

"Alanis. Alanis Johansen."

Ponyboy smiled as she walked away. This could prove to be interesting.

:OKAY...look at this Sodapop dies in Vietnam, Steve goes there too but survives and comes back a heroine addict and marries 2 times and divorces or something.
Darry becomes the president of a successful building company and
Pony becomes a mystery writer under the name of P.M Curtis.

That's what S.E. Hinton said...Im going to change a little in my story..Should Soda and Steve go? Should they die or live? or what?
