Hey eveyone! I'm back with a new story! It is written from Soda's POV, but is a continuation of Time Twister! It has Jessica and Carmen, and follows the epilogue for that story. This is what happens to Soda after Time Twister ends. It takes place 4 years after the original story. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Wow, new start! I don't own the Outsiders. But I still own Jess and Carmen

Chapter 1

Here, I sit at the DX just thinking about my life and all the events that have effected me. At first I was thinking about Mom and Dad dieing, and how Darry stepped up and took care of Ponyboy. Then I started thinking about when Jessica and Carmen came into our lives, and rocked our world. Carmen, I still haven't gotten over her, and I don't think I ever will. That train of thought led to the fatal night a year ago when she broke up with me.

flashback

I got off work, and I was really excited to go home and see Carmen. By this point we had been going out for about a year and a half, and I was ready to marry her.

I finally got home and Carmen wasn't in the living room. Jessica was there, in the kitchen eating a popsicle, she was eight months pregnant with her and Dally's first kid. Dally was working at Buck's, other wise he would have been there with her. He hardly ever left her side, only to go to work.

"Hey Jessica! Where's Carmen?" I asked her.

"Umm, I don't know! She was here and then I came in here..." she trailed off as she tried to think of where Carmen went.

"All right, thanks Jess," I said in a hurry to find her.

"Yeah, sorry," she said comepletely lacking any sincerity, and she went back to her popsicle.

I went into me and Pony's room to change, and that's where I found Carmen. On my bed, making out with Johnny.

"Carmen! Johnny! W-what's going on?" I stuttered schoked.

"Oh, Soda. I-I can explain!" Carmen said.

"No, you know what? Save it! I've heard it all before. I'm out of here!" and I left and that was the official, unofficial end to our realationship.

I snapped out of my flashback when I heard a customer pull up. I went out to help them, but was distracted the whole time. I guess, I'm still not really over her.

Later that night we were all sitting in me and Darry's house, Ponyboy is living in California, or somewhere right now, working on his next great novel. I hope he comes back to Tulsa again, I really miss him.

Jessica and Dally have their one year old son, Danny, with them and Jessica is 5 months pregnant with their second child. Carmen and Johnny aren't yet married, but I know they will be engaged soon. It still kills me inside to see them together, but I never say anything, because Carmen made her choice, already and it wasn't me.

We were just sitting there watching Mickey Mouse and playing with Danny, when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Darry said and he got up to get the door.

"I'm baaaack!" Pony said as he walked in carrying an armful of luggage.
