Chapter Five- Stop Fighting

A/N:Whoo. This took a long time to get into the freakin' document manager! Did anyone else have that problem? Okay, since I completely spaced on putting guycrazy on the last chapter (Sorry! Brain doesn't work!), she will be hanging out with Dally backstage while the rest of us are doing yoga (You'll see that later). Anyways, I don't think I'll be bashing anyone here, but if I do, I'm sorry to anyone who may actually like these celebrities I make fun of.

Disclaimer: S.E. Hinton owns "The Outsiders." (Hail the mighty writer!) Everyone knows that the closest I've gotten to owning "American Idol" (Paula is drunk I tell you!) has been owning a Kelly Clarkson CD. And I do own a Yellowcard CD but that does not mean I own the song, "Breathing." I don't own anyone else who may be a real person dead or alive (most likely, they're alive). I don't own McDonald's either and I don't plan to.

Dally goes backstage to relax. Relax? Yeah, right. Dallas Winston has too many fans to actually be relaxed. A mysterious figure follows him backstage. Who could it be? (Dum dum duum)

"Hi Dally!" the figure says.

"Huh?" Dally says as he turns around to see who is stalking him. It turns out to be another fangirl from FanFiction. See how overjoyed Dally is? Not really, but it's interesting to see how everyone tortures the guy.

"Hi, I'm guycrazy, but you can call me Alicia," she said. She has an autograph book, a Polaroid camera, and a big wide smile.

"Uh… nice to meet you," Dally said edging his way out.

"Wait, can I…"

"If you maul me…"

"…get your autograph?" she says holding out a pen and her autograph book. She's still smiling. (I'm really sorry if you don't like to smile, guycrazy, and if you're cursing me out right now for this, I'm really sorry).

"Uh… yeah. Why not?" Dally says uneasily as he takes the pen and book. He signs his name on the page. I really wouldn't know what Dally's signature would look like so I hope you guys have good imaginations!

"Hey, can I get a picture with you too?" guycrazy says.

'Okay, sure…" Guycrazy takes her camera and stands next to Dally and smiles for the camera as Dally has the most confused look on his face. The camera flashes and Dally asks, "Is there anything else you want?"

"Yeah, can I shake your hand?"

"Oh, brother…" Dally says. He shakes guycrazy's hand.

"I'm never washing this hand again!" Guycrazy runs off without another word.

"That was weird. How the hell did all these girls find me?"

Meanwhile, Carly, Anna, and their friend, Josh (he arrived in the middle of Dally's song but it was never mentioned), are doing yoga. Carly is in a meditating position with her legs crossed and her index fingers touching her thumbs to make an O with her hand. No one knows how to explain why she is floating three inches off the ground. Anna is trying a yoga position Carly taught her.

"Is this supposed to be relaxing?" Anna says. Her body is the shape of a pretzel. Literally.

"Not really…" Carly starts.

"What do you mean?" Anna says.

"Anna, do you see me meditating here? I'm trying to concentrate. Ohhmmm…"

"Well, just tell me how to untwist myself!"

"Untwist?"

"Untwist, untangle, just get me back to normal."

"When were you normal?"

"HOW DO I GET OUT OF BEING A PRETZEL?"

"Uhhh…"

"You don't know?"

"Well, you're bugging me too much! You see Josh over here not bugging me and letting me concentrate?"

"You might want to look again."

"What? Why?"

"ZzzzzzzzZzzzzzzZzzzzzz…"

"JOSH!"

Josh finally wakes up in a daze.

"Huh? What?"

"Uh, help with the pretzel problem?" Anna says. No one listens to her. As usual.

"Welcome back. everybody! Man, it's been a while. Anyways, we've got the awesome Sodapop Curtis up next!" Xena says into the microphone. Has anyone noticed that she's still wearing her Good Charlotte shirt and ripped jeans?

"You still look like a Gothic Greaser!" Bob yells.

"Not this again…" Xena rolls her eyes. She looks around and realizes Soda isn't there. "Um, guys, where's Soda?

The whole audience searches for the middle Curtis brother. He is nowhere to be found.

"Where's Soda? I need to see Soda!" says mrs.patrickswayze.

"Yeah, we paid good money for these tickets!" says another audience member, Kaligirl05.

"This was free, remember?" says the audience member next to her, who happened to be Maddiecake.

"I know, but I wanted to make them feel guilty."

Soda runs across the stage to where Xena was standing.

"Where the Hilary Duff have you been?" Xena asks him. "Another riot could've started."

"Sorry. I was at the john when Carly's friend, Josh, starts banging the door saying that I had to be on stage now! Then I had to stop to ask Anna why she was shaped like a pretzel and-,"

"Alright, already! Just get on with this stupid show and stop chatting with the Gothic Greaser!" Bob yelled. Someone threw bouncy balls at him. No it wasn't someone from the audience but someone from backstage with dyed black hair and looked a little like Jay…

"Okay, Soda! Give it all you got!" Xena said.

"Isn't it 'Give it your best shot'?" Kaligirl05 said.

"Can I start now? We're running late," Soda said.

"Go ahead! Here's Soda with 'Stop Fighting'!"

Finally, the band starts to play. There are violins (a must for a Yellowcard song), guitars (a must for any rock song) and drums and a bass.

"Covers hide my head
But I can never sleep
I have tried everything
And I'm tired of counting sheep
And even though you're right here
I still can't seem to see
That what we have right now
May not always be

And I can hear you crying
And I'm trying
To wake you up
Can't you see I'm dying
From the fighting
Guys, can't you stop?"

"Soda, I love you!" screams mrs.patrickswayze. Wasn't she just screaming for Dally in the last chapter?

"Words of shame exchanged
With each and every fight
I've tried to even things
But now I'm losing sight
I couldn't live to take a side
When neither one is right
Just listen to each other
And maybe we just might

And I can hear you crying
And I'm trying
To wake you up
Can't you see I'm dying
From the fighting
Guys, can't you stop?

I can hear you crying!
I'm trying
To wake you up!

Could you stop it with the
Fighting
I'm dying
From it all!

Is this how it's supposed to be when everything is done?
I don't how to help so I decide to run
I know that everything is gone; nothing will ever be the same
The family I have right now is the one I hope will stay

And I can hear you crying
And I'm trying
To wake you up
Can't you see I'm dying
From the fighting
Guys, can't you stop?

I can hear you crying
I'm trying
To wake you up!

Could you stop it with the
Fighting
I'm dying
From it all!"

Another roar of applause comes from the audience.

"YAY SODA!" screams mrs.patrickswayze.

"Soda, you were awesome!" yells Kaligirl05.

"Can I get an autograph? Or a hug?" asks little EllE lost.

Padme Snivvey and Marauder and The Q are also screaming at the top of their lungs. Ruto177 is cheering for an encore while Weasleygrlz07 and keRUshii00 are yelling Soda's name rhythmically.

"Soda! Soda! Soda!" sweetheart64 decides to join in. "SODA! SODA! SODA!" Soon everyone, including BodomsGirl, silverstagbeauty, Kawaii-Chibi-Kai, Waterbender-Katara, Johnny Greaser Girl16, Izziecakes, and even cherrybombxox are chanting Soda's name.

"Geez, how many Soda fans are there?" Rugrats101 asks.

"I don't know. It seems like everyone loves him," says TheMaskedArtist.

"I wonder what'll happen when Johnny comes on," says Rugrats101.

"Two words: Mass chaos," replies TheMaskedArtist.

"You know, we don't even have time for the judges' words!" says Xena. "I guess all this cheering can qualify as the judges' comments. Let's go to commercial!"

"Wait! We still need to say something!" Randy says.

"We don't have time!" Xena answers.

"But we still need to say something that totally doesn't influence what other people think about Soda's performance!" Cherry says.

"We gotta get to commercial!" says Xena.

"Let us talk, Gothic Greaser!" Bob yells.

"Cut to commercial already, dammit!"

Commercial #5

(It's a McDonald's commercial with Ronald McDonald. What else is new?)
Ronald McDonald: Try our new Quadruple Whopper! And don't forget, kids, to stay active and be healthy!
Josh: Isn't that a little ironic?
Ron McD: What is?
Carly: The fact that you're selling a product that's been known to be bad for your health and you're telling your customers to stay healthy at the same time.
Ron McD: Our products do not cause harm to anyone!
Carly: Have you ever see Super Size Me?
Ron McD: That was full of blatant lies!
Josh: Says you.
Rugrats101: How about instead of eating foods that contains actual animals in them, try being healthy and eating a salad.
Jay: Yeah!
Carly: When did you get here?
Jay: Just now.
Rugrats101: Where have you been anyways?
Jay: Playing B.S. with Kayleigh. So what's with the stupid clown?
Ron McD: Are we going to get back to selling the burger?
Everyone: NO!
Ron McD: What was the point of this commercial then?
Jay: I don't know.
Josh: Is it over yet?
Carly: Now it is.

End Commercial

Jay: Man, we suck at advertising!

A/N: Hah! Sorry, Rugrats101 if I might've offended you with your part in the commercial (someone had to suggest it). I also put in other reviewers who might not have asked to be in the story but since everyone in the audience is an Outsiders fan, I thought, "What the hell? Might as well put everyone else in too." If you don't want to appear in this chapter, let me know. If I didn't put you in, I promise to put you in a future chapter! I'm really sorry if you are not included in this one though. This is longer than most chapters because of how long it took me to update. Hope you liked it! Read and review even if you want to tell me I suck at writing!
