SodaoutsidersPop(Sammy) and I have decided(through many PM's and IM's) that we are going to write a story combining talents of both of us!

Main Idea: Meghan and her father move to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Meghan is a young girl who enjoys singing, writing songs, and playing the guitar and piano. Ponyboy is sitll woked up over the deaths of Johnny and Dallas. But he'll meet a new friend and discover a talent he never knew he had. (One month after the deaths of Johnny and Dally. POny published the book, The Outsiders)

Okay, the main idea of the story was decided by Sammy. I decided who gets to write in who's POV which ended up having Sam write for Meghan and me writing for Pony. So you'll know who wrote what. Since she's working hard on many storied, we've decided as a team to put the story on my account. So, the glory goes to Sammy for the first chapter.

Disclaimer: The Outsiders belongs to S.E. Hinton and Sweet Tennessee belongs to Sammy (SodaoutsidersPop)

(Meghan's POV)

This was unfair. This was totally unfair. I watched my friends walk by to their houses out my living room window. I'd never see them again. They came by to wish me luck in Tulsa, but why, it wouldn't do any good. Tennessee is my life and I still had no idea why we were moving. I mean, my parents got a divorce and I'm living with my dad, but mom moved out. So I don't see why we have to move. If I did, I'd never see mom again, or a long time. Is that why? Just so that dad could have me to himself.

I was too angry to think. I felt like singing. I loved to sing either on piano or my guitar. Dad was suppose to be home in a few minutes, and I settled on guitar.

I ran upstairs to my room and got out my guitar. That was the only thing I hadn't packed yet, just in case. I didn't feel like singing one of my old songs, so I settled on a tune and singing to it. I wanted to sing a song that described how much Tennessee meant to me, so I took the pick, started playing and sung.

"You'll always be in my heart. We were a work of art. You'll always be in my mind. We weren't very hard to find. You'll always end up in my dreams. You'll always be the first I talk about with a friend. We might find each other again, but I doesn't seem, like that will happen in this route I'm taking to our end."

I quickly jotted all those words down on a sheet of paper. I played the same tune and sung it again, but this time continued.

"What happened to us? I have to go. Why did this happen? I don't want to go. I remember the first day we met. It wasn't by force or some kind of bet. I loved you ever since then. I remember the first laugh we had. I wasn't sure at first, but now you're not so bad. All of this right now is making me mad. I don't want to leave you, why can't they see…I'm gonna miss you sweet Tennessee."

I wrote that and started thinking if it sounded good. I thought it did, so I went on for a second verse.

"Remember when we went to our first rodeo? I just wish I wasn't doing this as a solo. Don't you forget about the first lick of ice cream. This new thing definitely ain't part of my dream. Please don't forget the way your sunshine made me smile in the morning. They never even sent us a warning. Please always remember the way your moon made me want to stay up all night with you. Now that I'd have to leave my family and you too. What does this new place have to offer? Its smile can't be much softer. What will it have that you never gave me here? I'll never hear your sweet voice in my ear. What happened to us? I have to go. Why did this happen? I don't want to go."

I decided to do a 2 part chorus, so I went ahead and sang a different thing.

"I remember the first time we said hello to each other. Not even for a second did you ever seem to be a bother. Not the hot weather or chilly nights. I remember when you comforted me when I cried. Bawling like my best friend had just died. You always found me even when I tried to hide. I don't want to leave you, why can't they see…I'm gonna miss you sweet Tennessee."

It sounded better and better. But I wanted more to it. Dad still ain't home, so I was going to try and add more and write before he gets here.

"I remember the last day we spent. It just came by and then it went. I remember the last laugh we had. What if this new place is real bad? I remember our last goodbye. I swear right now I might just die. I remember the last hug we shared. I can tell my parents haven't really cared. I don't want to leave you, why can't they see…I'm gonna miss you sweet Tennessee. I remember the first day we met. It wasn't by force or some kind of bet. I loved you ever since then. I remember the first laugh we had. I wasn't sure at first, but now you're not so bad. All of this right now is making me mad. I don't want to leave you, why can't they see…I'm gonna miss you sweet Tennessee. I remember the first time we said hello to each other. Not even for a second did you ever seem to be a bother. Not the hot weather or chilly nights. I remember when you comforted me when I cried. Bawling like my best friend had just died. You always found me even when I tried to hide. I don't want to leave you, why can't they see…I'm gonna miss you sweet Tennessee."

I heard the garage door open, so I quickly played the guitar and added an ending.

"I don't want to leave you…oh I don't want to leave you can't they see. Why can't they see? Why aren't they seeing? What is it about me they aren't seeing? They must somehow see…I don't want to leave you me sweet Tennessee. I don't want to leave you. I have to leave you. Why is life so hard on me? Why can't they see…I'm gonna miss you sweet Tennessee."

"Meghan! Time to hit the road!" I heard my dad call downstairs. I packed the guitar and my new song and followed him out the car. "Just hold on a sec sweetie," dad said shutting his car door.

"I'm gonna miss you sweet Tennessee," I sang before he came back. "Sweet Tennessee." And that was just what I was going to call the song.
