A/N: Thanks for all the views! In case you didn't know, I'm going by Dally's movie description as portrayed by Matt Dillon. Again, you will find direct quotes from the movie. I'm looking for reviews, as this is my first fan-fiction for TheOutsiders, and I want as much feedback as possible! Enjoy!

Rowan's POV

So all of a sudden, there are Ponyboy and Johnny here with us, and I'm thinking what the Hell is going on. It's two o'clock in the morning, and these youngsters are here with us. Well, I shouldn't say youngsters, Johnny's my age.

"Man, I wish I had a weed now." That was Johnny. Dally is rummaging through Buck's stuff and pulls put a gun. He points it at me, and pretends to shoot, then hands it to Johnny.

"Here. Don't point the thing at me, will ya. It's loaded. Come on." That was Dally.

I huffed. "Well, Mr. Hypocrite, what were you just doing?"

He squinted at me. "Shut up, you stupid broad, it's a serious moment." I didn't like this Dally. I mean, yes, I already knew he could be a complete asshole, but he was never like this to me. I decided to back out and be a witness. Have something over Dal's head.

Dally continued to instruct the boys. I still had no clue what was going on. "Here you go, it's fifty bucks." He handed the dough to Johnny and sat down on the bed. "Look, I'm not itchin' to be the one to tell your big brother about this and get my head kicked in, man."

"Then don't tell him!" That was Ponyboy. Boy, was this kid spooked. His eyes were wide, his voice cracking, and he was shivering in Buck's shirt.

Dallas huddled the boys in. I pricked my ear in a little too. I was always kinda nosy and always kinda looking for gossip. "Get the three-fifteen train to Windrixville, it's a freight. There's an abandoned church on top of Jay Mountain. There's a pump in the back, so you don't have to worry about water." He lit another smoke, this time burning himself with the match. I snickered slightly.

He continued after shaking his hand a few times. "Get a week's supply of food, as soon as you get there. In the morning, before the story gets out. And then don't so much just stick your noses out the door, am I clear?" He paused for a second, letting the boys process the information given. "I'll be up there as soon as I think everything's cool."

Ponyboy seemed tense, and Dally patted him on the back. He wasn't always a bad guy, even if he was assisting runaways. "Hey, relax buddy, c'mon….alright." Dally looked around. "Man, I thought New York was the only place I'd end up in a murder wrap. Jesus Christ."

The guys got up and went downstairs, and I sat there, only wondering what could've happened. A few minutes later, Dallas returned.

I looked at him, he seemed kind of weary. "Dal, what happened?" Dally sat down next to me and placed his hands over his eyes. I wrapped my arm around his shoulders.

"Johnny killed some Soc. They didn't know what to do. I had to get them out, they can't turn out like me. Especially Johnny." He closed his brown eyes.

"Get some sleep, Dal. I'm gonna crash in the other room." I got up to leave but was being tugged back by something. It was Dally.

"Stay, Row, will ya? I need ya." I crossed my arms, remembering the stupid broad comment from earlier. I gave him a stern look.

"What?" he asked, not knowing what he did.

"Why would you want a stupid broad hanging around you?"

"Stupid wha-? Oh, no. No Row it ain't like that. I was confused and not focusing on you. There wasn't time to play around."

I slapped his hand off me. "Goodnight, Dal," I uttered, only to be in his grip a second later.

"Please, Row. I'm sorry. There's room for two. C'mon man."

I couldn't help but grin at his 'c'mon man' comment. Classic Dallas.

"Ugh, fine," I gave in. "Move your ass over."

Dally scooted over and when I layed down he put his arm around me. "Listen, Bishop, nobody in the gang finds out about this, and no one gets hurt, alright?"

I giggled. "Alright, deal, I guess. Along with that picture of you sucking your wittle thumb, right?"

Dally laughed deep down in his throat. "You're real, Bishop. You're real."

Above the party and noise going on below, I fell asleep with Dally protecting me. Or me protecting him. No matter which it was, I liked it.

Dally's POV

Rowan drifted off and I was very tired, only I couldn't sleep. Johnny and Ponyboy were on my mind, keeping me up.

They'll be fine, they'll be fine.

The next morning I woke up and Rowan was gone. It was around eleven and I ran downstairs, looking around. I forgot to tell that girl to shut her trap about Johnny and Pony. If she said anything, I'm goin' back in the cooler. I found her on Buck's couch, chatting up a storm with him. I pulled her into the kitchen where I grabbed some milk.

"Yo cutie, you tell anyone 'bout Johnnycake and Pony?" I asked her with my voice real low. I'll admit I tried to act sexy for her. I've always been sort of a ladies man.

"Hell no!" she whispered back at me. "Even if you think so I'm no stupid broad!"

I grabbed her and started tickling her. "I slipped up, damnit, I didn't mean it."

She laughed and then lightly slapped me across the face. "Give me a hug, Winston, you know I got your back."

I went in for the hug and she stopped me. "No, stupid. A bro-hug." I laughed and looked down, smiling with a cigarette between my teeth. I reached out, grabbed her hand and padded her back.

"Row, man, y'know you're the coolest bro 'round." She ran out the door and looked behind her back. "I know, Dally, I know."

We sat on Buck's bench for a minute before goin' out. I'd take her to Dairy Queen later. I held the cigarette between my teeth and glanced at her; she was on my left. She took her slender hand and pushed my hair back while I smiled as I made a clicking noise with a lighter.

She sat down next to me. "Y'know Dally, when you die, I'll remember you just like this. You look so adorable." She smiled and grabbed my cheeks.

"Aye, cut it out, girl." I slapped her away, that wasn't acceptable. At least not for me. "And who's to say you're not dying out first, huh?"

Rowan looked at the ground and laughed. "You're Dallas Winston. The fuzz'll gun you down one day."

I shrugged. "What can I say? C'mon, let's blow this place." We jumped into my car. "I'll treat you to Dairy Queen."

Rowan put her arm around me as she said "Treat means I won't pay you back." I laughed and started speeding down the road, wind in my hair. I gazed around, mouth wide open. I gave the wheel a little hug and enjoyed the ride.

"I'll always remember you like this as well, Dally. Always," Rowan stated to me. "Now quit making out with the wheel and get us there."

A/N: Okay, so you see how Rowan says she will remember Dal in these two scenarios? If you wanna see them for yourself, look up 'The Outsiders deleted scene 5' on YouTube. I, actually being Rowan but younger and a non-drinker/smoker, will always remember Dal like this since I have a huge crush on him/Matt Dillon in 1983. xD Also, the car scene can briefly be seen in the actual movie during Johnny's letter. Until chapter 6!
