Author Notes: Oh, good gosh. I haven't updated this in just about forever. Well, I just graduated the 8th grade, so I am just proud to say—

Dally: Get the hell on with it!

Oh. Right. Erm, anyway. On with the story. Sorry if it's not as good . . . I've been having some weird angsty things going on lately . . . hmm . . . what a great idea . . .

What's in a Fan Fic

Making weird confused groaning/moaning noises, Kair lay there, slumped over on the floor. The whole gang looked at each other, not saying a word.

". . . Oops."

There was silence for a very long while . . . okay, well, maybe just 5 minutes or something, until Two-Bit finally spoke up. "So we're just gonna leave her there?"

"I guess," Dally muttered, returning his gaze to the laptop. He clicked another link on the screen, which took him to more "The Outsiders" fanfictions. "Why are we called 'The Outsiders', anyway? I mean, how gay is that?"

Ponyboy would have normally kept quiet, but since this is a fanfic in which the author is completely bored and in the need for non-literate standards, he spoke up. "I think it's pretty cool."

"Yeah, so do I!" Soda put in, wrapping a quick arm around his brother's neck. Dally merely rolled his eyes at them.

"You guys, do you think we should really just leave her there?"

Steve let out a sigh. "Johnnycakes, don't worry about it."

"Whoa, you guys! Hey, look at this one, Johnny. It's about you!" Dally moved aside to let Johnny see. He couldn't really read it, but when he touched the laptop, he felt a slight shock run through him. Cocking a brow, Dally asked, "Hey, kid, you okay?"

"Yeah . . ."

They then turned their attention to more moaning noises made by Kair on the ground. Obviously, she had become conscious again. Darry let out a sigh of relief. "Kair, are you okay?"

"What's a Kair?"

Darry stared at her. ". . . What?"

". . . What . . ."

It was then that Two-Bit burst into laughter. "You prolly hit her a little too hard, Dar!"

The man let out a small curse under his breath and helped her up off the ground. "Do you remember anything?" he asked, cocking a brow slightly.

"Remember . . . uhhhh . . . . waaaahhhh . . ."

"Oh for Pete's sake!" Dally groaned. "She's as stupid as Two-Bit!"

"Yeah, she—HEY!"

Darry glanced around quickly. "Okay, okay, let's not panic . . ."

"Wheeee!" Kair rolled over on the floor, making Darry twitch. Two-Bit and Dally just started laughing, Ponyboy was still in a headlock by Soda, and Johnny . . . well, Johnny wasn't feeling much like his "The Outsiders" book character . . .

To be Continued
