Ok this here is a REALY scary story...ok it I'm not to far in the book. My two favorite people are Johnny and Soda. And my favorite thing to do to my two favorite people is put them the opposite sex...so in this story Johnny well be a girl and Soda will be a boy... :P But that is NOT the parring. The parring well be Ponyboy and Johnny. Weird? YES! I'm a very weird girl and I do a lot of anime writing. Normally I write then type it up. But seeing it's this kinda story I will just type it up. I do hope you like it, if you do not like it please tell me. If people like it tell me too. The people who do not like it do not have to read it. The people who do like it they rock, and can go on reading. Oh and I will be putting 'he' and 'him' for now till they find out what's been going on.
I do NOT own the Outsiders for if I did then Johnny and Dally would not die!
Johnny was running in the rain, because 'he' had just got kicked out of 'his' home. 'He' was soaked, 'his' jeans and 'his' jean jacket where slowing 'him' down. It was around ten at night, and Johnny was running for the Curtis' place. Johnny hoped they wouldn't mind if 'he' was there. By the time Johnny ran up to the door, 'he' was panting hard. 'He' took a deep breath, and knocked. A few minutes later the door opened to Darry.
"Jesus Christ, what happened, Johnnycake?" Darry asked, opening the door, letting Johnny in the house.
"The old man kicked me o-out for g-g-good. M-Mind if I stay here?" Johnny asked, shaking from the cold.
"YES!" Darry said, practically yelling. "Ponyboy, go get something for Johnny to wear!"
Ponyboy nodded and went up to his and Soda's room to get some clean clothes for Johnny.
"Johnny, go to the bathroom and start to dry off." Darry said, pointing to the washroom. Johnny only nodded and walked off, limping some.
"Johnnycakes did 'ya hurt your leg?" Soda asked, looking at Johnny's leg. Johnny shook 'his' head has 'he' shut the door to the bathroom and locked it.
"Something is wrong with him." Soda said, looking at the shut door.
Darry nodded. "We will talk about in the morning. Are you working tomorrow?" Soda looked at him and shook his head no.
"Do you mind if Johnny shares the bed with Ponyboy tonight?"
"I guess so... He has been through a lot. So, yeah, he can have the bed." Soda said going to the living room and lying on the couch.
Ponyboy came down the stairs with some clean clothes. He knocked on the bathroom door. "Hey Johnny, I got some clothes for you." Johnny opened the door and took them.
"Thanks Pony." Then 'he' shut the door.
"Ponyboy, Johnny will be sharing the bed with you tonight. Soda doesn't have to work, but you have school and I have to go to work." Darry said looking at him.
"Ok, Darry. See 'ya in the morning." Pony said waiting for Johnny to come out.
Darry went up to his room and shut the door. Soda was on the couch getting ready to go to sleep.
Johnny came out of the bathroom in the clothes Pony had given 'him'.
"Come on Johnny; Darry said that you'll be sleeping in the bed with me instead of Soda."
Johnny just nodded and followed Ponyboy up to bed.
When they got in bed Johnny broke the silence. "Ponyboy..."
"Yeah, Johnny?" Pony replied looking at his friend.
"I have to tell you something but please don't get mad at me..."
"Sure Johnny, don't worry."
Johnny took a deep breath and then whisper in Pony's ear. "Ponyboy, I'm really a girl, not a boy...and well...I like you." Good thing Pony fell to his side or he would have fallen out of bed. Johnny looked at him and smiled. She turned over and went to sleep.
The next morning, Soda went to get Ponyboy and Johnny up so they wouldn't be late for school. "Ponyboy Johnnycakes. Time to get up." Soda said walking over to the bed. He looked at Johnny noticing something weird, 'his' chest looked heaver. 'Oh god no...Johnny's a...girl!' Soda shook them both. But they just didn't want to get up. "Come on you too, get up or Darry will be pissed at 'ya." Soda said leaving the room and going back down stairs.
"Darry remember last night when Johnny came here and was limping?" Soda asked looking at his older brother.
"Yeah? What about it, Soda?" Darry asked his younger brother.
"Well when I went up stairs to get them up, I, well, kinda noticed that Johnny's chest was heaver..."
"If Johnny doesn't go to school, talk to him...er...her... about it." Darry said putting his plate in the sink, and walked to the bottom of the stairs.
"IF YOU TWO DON'T GET DOWN HERE IN ONE MINUTE, I'LL GO UP THERE AND PULL YOU OUT OF BED!" Soda covered his ears. Did Darry enjoy being loud? Anyway, Two-Bit just walked in the house, along with Steve, and they where ready to go.
A loud noise was heard from up stairs.
"So Pony wanted to sleep in?" Two-Bit asked while taking a slice of toast.
"Him and Johnny both. Johnny came here last night, soaked." Soda said finishing up his breakfast.
Darry came down the stairs with Johnny under one arm and Pony under the other. They where awake now.
"You two eat; I have to go." Darry said dropping them both in different chairs. Then he left.
Ponyboy and Johnny looked tired.
"You to stay up late for some reason?" Two-Bit asked looking at the two.
"I had to finish up a presentation for my English class." Pony said sounding tired.
"I came here in the poring rain and stayed the night. Now I feel kinda sick." Johnny said her face paler then before. Soda put his hand on her forehead.
"You're burning up! Go and lay down. No school for you. I'm calling the school to tell them that you home sick." Soda said looking over at Johnny, who got up, slowly, and walked into the living room, flopping down on the couch.
Pony put his plate in the sink before running up the stairs, getting changed. He grabbed his book bag on the way into the bathroom to use it, then washed his hands and brushed his teeth. He then, of course, had to do his hair. He came out of the bathroom ready to go.
"Okay. Get well soon, Johnnycake." Two-Bit said, has he made his way to the door followed by Steve, then Ponyboy.
"See 'ya, Soda." Steve said as he walked out, getting a nod from his friend. Soda was busy calling the school to tell them that Johnny was home sick for the day.
"See 'ya Soda, I won't be home right after school." Ponyboy said following Steve out the door.
"Ok Pony." He said as he hung up the phone.
So now it was just Soda and Johnny. Soda had given Johnny some medicine to bring 'his' fever down some and it was starting to work.
"Johnny, I know this is not the time but I have to know." Soda took a deep breath. "Johnny, are you really a girl?"
Johnny looked at him and nodded, slowly, before she started to cough.
Soda sat down so Johnny's head would be on his lap.
"Don't worry, Johnny, just get some sleep." Soda whispered to Johnny.
Johnny did what Soda said.
Later that night, while Johnny was still asleep, Soda was making supper, Ponyboy was working on his homework up in his room, Steve and Two-Bit were playing cards, Darry was reading the paper and Dally was somewhere else.
Soda just came down from getting Ponyboy for super, when Johnny started to wake up.
Two-Bit looked at her. "How are you feeling, Johnnycakes?"
"Uhh… A little better, I think..." Johnny said in a quite tone.
"Johnny, are you hungry?" Soda asked while looking over at her, only to get a nod.
"Then come and eat." He said while going into the kitchen to take a seat.
Johnny sat up, still moving slowly.
"Can't we stay, too?" Two-Bit asked, looking at Darry.
"No. This may be the hang out, but we don't serve food to everyone around here." Darry said putting his paper down and standing up.
"Aw, come on Darry, just this once?" Two-Bit asked him.
"Two-Bit, you say that every time you come here." Soda said, sitting down. "Besides, I only made enough for four."
"Fine, then we'll see 'ya later." Two-Bit said, walking out the door, pouting.
"See 'ya at work tomorrow Soda." Steve said, as he waved good bye to his best bud.
"Yeah, see 'ya Steve." Soda said starting to eat. Two-Bit and Steve left and went somewhere else.
"Johnny, we have to talk about something." Darry said, looking over at Johnny, who was eating slow, but nodded. "How come you never told us?"
Johnny put her fork down. "I wanted to... but then I was afraid I would loss the only friends I have... Then I would have no reason to live..."
"Johnny, don't you know we will always be your friends, no matter what?" Soda asked, sounding serious and looking at Johnny.
Johnny nodded. "Does anyone else in the gang know?" Darry asked looking at her. Pony was still eating, just thinking about what Johnny said last night.
"Yeah..." Johnny said in a whisper. "He was the first one I told...and um...the one I like..." Johnny's face was a little red she was just finishing eating.
"Who's that?" Soda asked taking a drink of his Pepsi Darry was taking a drink of his too.
"Pony..." Johnny said looking up at them.
Darry and Soda started to choke on their pop, their eyes wide.
Ponyboy and Johnny looked at them, until the phone rang.
"I'll get it," Pony said getting up and running into the living room to pick the phone up. He picked it up just before the answering machine came on.
"Hello, Curtis place. Ponyboy speaking." Pony said, answering the phone like he always did.
"Hello Ponyboy. It's Coach Henry. Would Darry be there?" The man on the other line asked him.
"Sure Coach, hang on." Ponyboy said, and then looked into the kitchen, where Darry and Soda could breathe alright now.
"Darry, the phone." Pony said to his older brother.
"Who is it?" Darry asked as he got up from his set.
"Couch Henry." Pony said, handing the phone to Darry. Pony went back into the kitchen to finish eating.
-Darry's POV+
"Ok, I'll have to talk with you two later, after I talk to my old coach. Hello? Darry speaking." I said into the phone.
"Hello Darry. How have you been?" He asked, me sounding kinda happy.
"Good, I guess..." I told him.
"How are you and your brother's doing?"
"We're fine, though we do have an extra visitor."
"Well... I was just call to see if you three and this extra visitor wanted to come and see the football game this weekend. Maybe, if you wanted to, you could couch this year's, and maybe for the next few years, high school team."
I was shocked. Not only did he just ask me to the football game this weekend, but to couch a football team. The high school football team! How could I say no?
"I don't know..."
"You'll be getting paid just like any other teacher at the school. I just wanted to have the best high school football player to take my place as the coach."
"Why, is their something wrong with you or something?" I was worried that my coach was sick.
"I'm fine, Darry it's just that I'm getting old, and I really need to slow down. But, I know, if you take the job, I'm leaving the team in good hands."
"Well then I guess I could..."
"Can you meet me tomorrow morning at seven, to meet the team?"
"Yeah, I'm off tomorrow. I'll be there."
"Thanks, Darry."
"No problem, coach."
We both hung the phone up. I went into the kitchen to see Johnny shaking, with Soda was by her side and Pony was sitting next to her.
-End of Darry's P.O.V+
"What's wrong with Johnny?" Darry asked.
"I asked her what happen last night at her place and she just started shaking." Soda said, with worry apparent in his voice.
"Whatever it was, she won't talk about it." said Pony, saddened by the awful ideas that jumped into his mind.
"It's not that late." Darry muttered, looking at the clock. "Come on, we're going to the After-Hours Clinic." Darry said, going to get their jackets.
Johnny shook more intensely.
"It's going to be okay, Johnny." Pony whispered to her.
"Come in with me." Johnny whispered back, pleading.
Pony nodded. "Sure thing, Johnnycakes." Pony stood, helping Johnny up.
Darry came back with the jackets and handed a heavier one to Johnny.
"You're jacket is still wet. You can borrow one of Pony's."
