I absolutly love all the reviews and there very inspriational I love that you guys give me ideas. Even though I have my own ideas I'm just not sure how to write them out yet so, as a little present I'm going to try my best for this chapter to use your guy's. A special thanks to those who review as always : 9-A-R-9, SuferGirl3000, Chick1966, Lucy E. Curtis Simpson Griffin, Lilybelmae and my friend Rikki who has a really long username that I don't feel like typing out. Also thanks to those you fav and alert. :D

Disclaimer: I do not own the Outsiders or anything related to it. That belongs to S.E. Hinton. But I do own Conri Jay Curtis.

I didn't mean to:

"Bet you can't catch me." Cj said taking the book that Ponyboy currently reading from his hands and started to run towards the kitchen. Where Sodapop and Steve were playing poker. The table in the living room was a mess and they were too lazy to clean it up.

"Hey!" Ponyboy cried out, getting up off the couch and following his little sister in to the kitchen."Give it back."

"Then come and get it." Conri said teasingly while running out the back door to the back yard.

From where Sodapop was he could see out the window Ponyboy chasing Conri around. She was giggling keeping the book away from Ponyboy. Soda smiled at the two. Ponyboy could have caught Conri already, he was the fastest in the hole gang and in track but he didn't. Pony was simply enjoying the moment with his seven year old sister.

It reminded Soda of a time : (Flashback) :The whole gang was at the Curtis's house after school one day. His mom and dad were also home with Conri. She had been one year old laying on a blanket on the ground, content with life sometimes gurgling to herself. Sodapop was 11 at the time, Ponyboy 9 and Darry 15. The adults had finished cooking supper and called all the boys to the kitchen to eat. They all eventually made their way to the dining table, leaving Conri on the floor all alone. She frowned slightly knowing even a young age that something was going on ;she need to know what why she wasn't involved . Rolling onto her stomach; getting into a crawling stance. Something she leaned a couple months ago. She crawled to the doorway leading to the kitchen. Slowly putting her small hands on the frame, steadying herself ;she gradually made it up on her feet. When she looked up all eyes were on her. At first they were shocked then they were all smiling and grinning, edging her on to walk. She took one step, then two, then three... After about ten more she was at Sodapop's chair. Cj was about to plop on her bum when Soda caught her and put her up on his knee. She was gurgling and smiling again, so was everybody else. Well they weren't gurgling but they were definitely smiling. She had just taken her first steps towards Sodapop no less. He was so in love with the little girl, he would never let anything hurt her. Not even a plop on the butt.

(End of flashback)

"Quite your grinning and go already. Your hand can't be that good." Steve complained to his bestfriend. Sodapop shook his head clearing it; it was one of his favorite memories. He glanced down at his cards, 2 kings.

"Wanna bet? I raise you 50." Soda said putting his chips in the middle.

"I-" Steve started to say but was by Cj cursing in through the back door.

"Shit, shit, shit, I'm sorry Pony. I didn't mean to. It was an accident." Conri apologized. At that moment Darry walked in through the front door while Pony walked in through the back.

"Missy Jay, are you swearing?" Darry rounded the corner with a possible slight look of anger and disappointment.

"I'm sorry I was jus-" It was Conri's turn to get cut off.

"She dropped my book in puddle!" Ponyboy whined or at least it sounded like whining to Cj.

"I didn't mean to!" Conri exclaimed.

"That's enough." Darry said calmly. But Conri and Pony kept going at it.

"That's enough I said." Darry said raising his voice slightly. After that it was dead quiet.

"Missy Jay there will be a consequence for swearing, you know to and you did."Pause." As for you Ponyboy you can get a new book." Darry continued.

"But-" Both Conri and Ponyboy said at the same time.

"No buts." Darry finalised.

Darry beckoned for Missy Jay to follow him to the washroom. Cj was bouncing on her toes, nervous as to what might happen.

"Wash your mouth with this and get rid of those foul word, I don't want to hear you say them ever again okay?" Darry said gently yet sternly as well. She made a face of disgust but didn't object, she knew when she was in real trouble and didn't want to get into more. He had had a long day at work and was simply ready for bed.

Darry watched Conri clean her mouth for a good whole minute. The minute Darry told her she was done, she spat it out and rinsed her mouth with water for a while.

Guess not all days can be completely happy days.

And that is it. I'd like to thank lilybelmae and Olivia Marie 20 for the ideas. I hope you guys liked it. Remember reviews are awesome! Hope wasn't to bad I kinda wrote it half asleep.
