I still don't own The Outsiders…But I'm working on it.

Also concerning Alice's weight, I modeled her appearance after a girl at my school. It might be hard to believe but she really is 17 (she just graduated), 5'4" and weights 102 lbs. It's because she has really, really thin bones, so she's not anorexic. I know this because we had health class together and they were freaking out over it, so she had to explain everything. But I'm afraid to let her go outside on windy days, that girl scares the shit out of me.

And I didn't realize that it was set to anonymous reviews not being allowed. Sorry! My bad!

Also thanks to Dess for translating things for me!

Chapter 2

At the lunch table furthest away from the soc's sat Ponyboy Curtis, next to him sat Johnny Cade, and across from them sat Two-bit Mathews. At this table there was an unusual conversation going on, well not really unusual but it was for greasers. The subject: The homecoming dance.

"So Pony," Two-bit said

"You find a date yet?"

"Yeah, her names Gina," replied the said pony.

"Gina huh?" said Two-bit "I've never known a skinny girl named Gina, how big is she Pony?"

Ponyboy turned slightly red in the face with either anger or embarrassment, Two-bit couldn't tell.

"She ain't a whale if that's what you mean," Pony said.

"Alright, alright don't get upset, calm down," Two-bit said in his perma-sarcastic voice. Ponyboy just grumbled.

Two-bit then looked to Johnny.

"How 'bout you Johnnycake? You got a girl to go with?" he asked.

Johnny blushed and shook his head.

"We'll have to change that, the dance is in a week. Why you waiting so long to ask someone? You don't want to end up with a Gina do you?" Two-bit laughed out.

"Shut up Two-bit!" came a familiar pissed off voice.

"I-I'm not gonna go you guys," came a quiet Johnny.

"How come?" they both asked simultaneously.

"'Cause I ain't got the courage to ask no one, and with this scar on my face I doubt any girl would say yes anyways," Johnny said.

"Don't say that Johnny, you're plenty handsome, infact if I was a queer I would've asked you to the dance myself," Two-bit joked. Johnny turned red.

Two-bit suddenly got up and walked into the hall, leaving Ponyboy and Johnny at the lunch table by themselves looking confused. He made his way into the hallway and looked around.

There was this weird looking soc walking into the school. He hadn't seen her here before. She had on a red and black striped shirt and black jeans. 'Wow, got enough black?' thought Two-bit 'But then again Johnny has this obsession with denim, so maybe they could wear black denim outfits to the dance!'

Two-bit practically ran up to her, extended his hand and said "Hi I'm Two-bit Mathews, want to go the homecoming dance with my buddy Johnny?"

All she could say was "Wow the people here sure are friendly!"

"So will you?" he pressed.

"Hi my names Alice!" she replied.

"Um, hi, will you?" he continued asked again.

"Yes it is lovely weather we're having isn't it," She said.

"Huh? So crazy lady will you let my buddy take you to the dance or not?" he tried again.

"Does he bathe? Cause if he smells like you then forget it," she asked seriously.

"Um, yeah he does." he stumbled out.

"Okay then that's cool I'll go," she finally answered.

Two-bit then grabbed her hand and dragged her into the lunch room and to his table.

"Hey Johnny I got you a date! And she's not a Gina!" he bellowed through the lunchroom. They reached the table and he dropped her hand.

"Johnny this is Allie your date, Allie this is Johnny your date," Two-bit introduced.

"Alice. Not Allie, Alice," she said starting to look a bit peeved.

"Right, right," Two-bit said.

Alice looked at Johnny and held her hand out for him to shake. He cautiously reached for her hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you Johnny," she said. He blushed and tried to choke out a "Hi".

She smiled at him. She was about to open her mouth to say something when the bell rang.

"Right, I've still got to go get my schedule made, so I'll see you freaks later," she said. She started to turn away but then turned back around and kissed Johnny on the cheek.

"Tot ziens," she said hurrying away.

"Huh?" they all said confused.

Later that school day in Alice's 4th hour class some soc boy named Harry started talking to her.

"So babe you're new here huh?" he said.

"Yeah I moved in here yesterday," she replied.

"That's cool. I'll tell you what, since you're new and all I'll take you to the homecoming dance, but before that I'll take you out tonight," he said cockily.

She was slightly stunned by his confidence but she soon managed to say "I'm already going with someone to the dance, but yeah a date tonight sounds cool."

"What? Who?" he asked.

"Someone," she replied with a mischievous look on her face.

"Yeah whatever, I'll pick you at up eight," he said with a hint of agitation in his voice.

"Don't you need to know where to pick me up at? Unless you stalk me that is," she said trying to lighten the mood.

"Oh right…," he replied dumbly.

She gave him directions, it took awhile 'cause Harry was rather…, well lets just say he wasn't the brightest crayon in the box.

It occurred to her that this boy didn't even know her name, 'what the fuck is with people being so forward here? Haven't they ever heard of introductions?'

As the last bell rang Alice started leaving, but she felt a hand on her shoulder. She spun around to see Two-bit. He was out of breath and gasping.

"What, did you just run a marathon or something?" She asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Saw…You…Tried to…Catch you," he gasped out.

"Jeez it's not like you're not gonna see me tomorrow," she said.

He stood up straight seeming to have caught his breath.

"Wanted to know if you would go to the movies with us, so you could get better acquainted with Johnny," he asked.

"I would, but I've already got a date tonight," she said with sarcasm dripping off her words.

"What? Who you cheatin' on Johnny with?" he asked sounding upset.

"I think his names Harry or something like that," she answered.

"Harold Lisener!" he asked disbelievingly.

"Yeah something like that," she said wondering why he was freaking out.

"He's the biggest soc in the school, what were you thinking?" he said sounding shocked.

"Yeah I'm having him pick me up at some lumber yard, it's about two hours away from here," she said trying to keep a straight face. Two-bit burst out laughing, drawing all sorts of attention to himself.

"But yeah sure I'll go with you guys, when?" she asked.

"About seven," he replied "We'll meet you up at the dairy queen, ok?"

"You need directions to get there?" she said grinning.

"I'll pass," he said grinning back.

Alice walked home, wondering all the way what a soc was.

Two-bit ran back to Johnny and Ponyboy.

"Hey Johnny I got a surprise for you!" two-bit said grinning like the madman that he was. "We're gonna go to the movies tonight."

Johnny looked slightly happier than he had before.

"Alright that sounds fun, don't it Pony?" he said.

"Sure it does!" Two-bit answered for him.

"And I got you a date!" he said excitedly.
