First off, I want to apologize for the misunderstanding & confusion in the last chapter between my author's note and the content. I got my chapters mixed up, so I would like to thank the guest Jolie for bringing that to my attention.

Instead, this is the big chapter. Johnny finally gets to me his biological family! Now, Daniel hasn't been the nicest when speaking about Johnny, so how will he react when they finally meet!?

Enjoy chapter ten. When you finish reading, please review. It makes my days. :)

Lucille turned the car off and turned to face Daniel. They had reached Oklahoma City. It was time to get the remaining LaRusso.

"Are you ready to go get your brother?" Lucille asked. Daniel turned to look at her.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be," he answered plainly. Lucille smiled, and the two of them got out of the car. Daniel slammed the door shut and crossed his arms. He wasn't excited about this. What was wrong with just him and his mom? Daniel followed his mother up to the station. "How are you supposed to find this kid?"

"I'm not sure, but we'll find him. We'll find Johnny," she said.

"That kid looks like you Johnnycake," Pony said, pointing to a kid approaching the station. Johnny shrugged his shoulders.

"I dunno. I don't know what they look like," The two people got closer, but they paid no mind to the three hoods next to the doors.

"Why don't you call their name?" Dally asked. He cupped his hands around his mouth. "Mrs. LaRusso." The woman's head snapped up and a smile formed on her face. She changed her course and began towards the greasers with an unhappy looking boy following close behind.

"Are you Johnny?" she asked, looking at him. He nodded his head and looked away. "I'm Lucille." Her smile grew bigger. Dallas stood up and approached Johnny's actual mom.

"If I find out you're like Johnny's old parents, you better hope I don't find out where you live," he warned in a low, dangerous voice. Dally looked from Lucille to Daniel. He moved past her and towards him. "And you. If you hurt Johnny too, you better hope I don't find you because I won't hesitate to beat the shit out of you." He didn't look phased. Daniel stared at Dallas with the same emotionless face.

"Dally! Leave them alone!" Pony scolded. Once he realized he didn't scare Daniel, he spun around quickly and headed back to Johnny. He grabbed Johnny's hand and slapped his ring into his palm.

"Keep this, kid," he said. He pulled his hand away, and Johnny stared at the jewelry. He couldn't believe Dallas had given it to him. Ponyboy latched onto his best friend and hugged him tightly.

"Please call as soon as you arrive," he said, squeezing Johnny. Johnny hugged him back and smiled.

"I won't forget," he promised. Dallas grabbed onto Pony's collar and pulled him off. They exchanged one last good-bye before the two disappeared back into the train station to get a ride back to Tulsa. Johnny looked up at his new family. Lucille was smiling at him happily, but the boy didn't look the least bit happy.

"Johnny this is Daniel, your older brother," Lucille introduced, wrapping her arm around him. So, this was the infamous Daniel. He didn't look very happy. Was it Johnny? Was it because he had to leave his other home? When Lucille noticed they weren't going to speak to each other, she sighed. "Let's just go get these last nineteen hours out of the way." She turned around on her heel and began towards the car. Daniel looked at Johnny from head to toe before turning around and following their mother. What did he do? It's not his fault that she took him back. Sure he asked if she would, but she didn't have to say yes. Johnny frowned and followed his family members to the station wagon.

Good-bye, Oklahoma.

Ponyboy stared out the window and watched the scenery fly by. Dallas watched him and couldn't help but feel a little sad. The kid just lost his best friend. Sure, the whole gang lost Johnny, but he and Pony were closer than Dally thought was possible.

"It'll be okay, kid," Dally said. Ponyboy slowly turned his head and looked at Dallas. "You act like you're never gonna see him again."

"I won't, Dal. We don't have enough money to fly out to California to visit him," Pony told him sadly. Ponyboy looked away from him and continued to stare out the window. Dallas continued to watch him as a plan began to form in his mind.

The whole car ride had been silent. There were a few times when Lucille would try to start a conversation among the three, but it always fizzled out as quickly as it started.

"Johnny . . ." Lucille said, looking at him in the rearview mirror. "Tell us about yourself. How did you like Tulsa? What were your friends like?"

"Tell her. I don't care," Johnny heard Daniel mumble. He almost expected Lucille to scold him, but she somehow didn't hear it.

"My best friend was Ponyboy. He has two older brothers; their names are Sodapop and Darry. My other friend's are Two-Bit, Steve, and Dally," Johnny shared nervously.

"You had a lot of friends,"

"We're apart of a gang. We're greasers," Daniel let out a humorless laugh.

"Your son is a part of a gang. How does that make you feel?" Daniel asked.

"Daniel! Knock it off," Lucille scolded. She glanced at Johnny again. "I'm sorry for him; he's upset about the move." Johnny nodded his head slowly. He didn't believe it. He wasn't stupid. He knew Daniel wasn't happy that he had joined the family. Johnny leaned his forehead against the window and sighed.

Whether Daniel liked it or not, he was apart of the family.

The whole gang was waiting for Ponyboy and Dallas when they got back to Tulsa. They knew it was foolish, but they all secretly hoped Johnny was with them. But when Ponyboy and Dally approached them alone, their hearts shattered.

"He's really g-gone," Soda said softly. Mr. Curtis gripped his shoulder firmly.

"I can't believe it. Johnny's gone," Steve said in disbelief.

"I hope Pony isn't too depressed," Mrs. Curtis said. Her question was answered when his face came into view. He looked so upset. He looked so upset that it worried Barbara. Ponyboy left Dally's side and immediately came to his mother.

She wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly.

"How are you feeling, Pony?" she asked, running her hand up and down his back. Ponyboy shrugged.

"I'm upset, but I'll get over it eventually," he answered sadly. He pulled away from his mom, and the gang headed back to the car to head home. This was going to take some getting use to. It was going to be hard to adjust.

review loves. :)

What'd you think of the Dallas / Lucille & Dallas / Daniel scene? Or the Daniel / Johnny scene? :)
