Summary: This is about how The Outsiders "gang" when they first met..Just my idea of how it might of happened.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Outsiders No matter how much I wish I did..Aw well I do however own Jamie Mathews, Kelly, and Kelly's mom.

Title: Early Beginnings

Two-bit's P.O.V.

"And don't forget Keith both you and Jamie need to take baths, because you are starting school tomorrow...Oh, and--" Mom was going through her normal worry wort routine before going to work for the night.

"Mom, I've got it covered, don't worry about it. I've been home baby sitting Jamie many times before." I assured her from where I was sitting on the counter as I watched her franticlly look for her keys.

"I know but I still am nervous about leaving you two home alone in this neighborhood." Mom sighed slightly as she found her keys right where they go on the key rack believe it or not!

"No worries, Mom, I know who to call in case of emergencies, and after 6 years of living with the runt I think I should know how to get her to do what she needs to do." I smirked a little as I glanced into the other room to see what Jamie was up to. She was playing with her doll waiting patently until mom left and she could have Ice Cream.

"I know, Keith, I trust you. I need to go now. I should be home at about 1:00 if I don't have to work overtime tonight. Remember Jamie has to be in bed at 9:30 and you are to be in bed absolutely no later then 11:00." Mom replied before kissing my cheek and hurrying into the other room to say goodbye to Jamie. I jumped off the counter and followed her.

"Bye, Mama" Jamie replied looking up from her doll.

"Bye, Mom" I said as she headed towards the door and left. I watched the window carefully until I saw the lights from the car come on and pull out of the driveway before turning back to Jamie. "Let's get this show on the road, Munchkin." I smirked as while watching into the kitchen to make our Ice cream Sundaes.

"Yay! Do we have pink sprinkles?" She asked while smiling slightly as she followed me.

"Pink? Now why would we have a color like pink when we could have much better colors like blue, green, or even purple?" I asked her teasingly knowing that she absolutely loved pink.

"Better colors? No way Keif'" Jamie replied as she pulled the pink sprinkles from the pantry as she smiled slightly.

"Whatever you wanna believe, Munchkin." I replied smirking as I finished putting the Ice cream in bowls and started putting the toppings on the Ice cream. Jamie giggled slightly at my comment as she watched me make the sundaes. I carried them over to the table as she followed with the spoons. She dug in rather happily as did I. After a few minutes we were done.

"Are we goin' over to Kelly's now Keif'?" Jamie asked me hopefully.

"Once you get shoes on and grab your coat we can, Munchkin." I replied as I grabbed my leather jacket. Jamie excitedly grabbed her Jean Jacket and put on her sneakers. The only ones Mom ever bought her and they were somewhat new. Jamie started to pull me towards the door that as I grabbed the extra house key and walked out the door with her.

Jamie skipped along in front of me as I walked at a normal pace behind her and looked around our new town slightly. 'Something is different about this town!' I thought to myself about this for before I remembered when Mom dragged Jamie and me to get signed up with her to get signed up for school and saw decently dressed kids pushing around a littler kid that appeared to be dressed in Hand-me-downs. 'That's it!' I thought suddenly. It has to be a division caused by money or something similar to that. I just find it weird that in this town you could almost feel the tension.

"Earth to Keif'" Jamie said as she poked me.

"What do you need, Squirt?" I asked as I shook my head clear of my thoughts and looked down at her.

"I'm scared about starting school tomorrow" she replied softly barely above a whisper while looking at the ground.

"Your scared about starting Kindergarten? It's a piece of cake, Munchkin." I replied while looking at her before I added "I can however see being sacred before starting Fourth grade."

"Keif', Are you scared of starting fou'th grade" Jamie asked me looking slightly surprised.

"Me, The great Keith Mathews, afraid of something like school? Never! I just meant that school is pretty easy but if you were starting fourth grade or something I could understand some fear. Also, You don't need to be scared 'cause if you need me I'll be right down the hall, alright, Munchkin?" I replied while walking.

"Alright Keif'" she replied softly but a little more happily before hugging me slightly. "This is Kelly's house" She added as she walked towards it quickly and knocking on the door. I followed her slowly slightly looking around at the house I realized that it wasn't as rundown as our house or those around it, but wasn't an extremely nice house it was in the middle.

"Hello Jamie. Is this your brother?" The lady, who I assumed to be Kelly's Mom, asked when she answered the door.

"Yep, This is Keif'" Jamie replied while smiling and glancing at me slightly. I looked at Kelly's Mom again. She kind of reminded me of my mom.

"Hello Keith, nice to meet you" She smiled as she looked at me and Jamie "Well Kelly is in the backyard Jamie" she added letting us in.

After about an hour and a half later Jamie and I headed home to get ready for the next day. 'I hope that school was alright and that I make friends around here as quickly as Jamie had.
