A/N: And here's Chapter Four. This scene doesn't take place in the movie (like when Johnny and Ponyboy meet Cherry). It's just something little where Dally and Cassidy can talk. Thank you MileyC.5813 for your review! Also, I may not be able to update as frequently since softball season has stared. Just bear with me and I should be releasing a chapter each week. Review and tell me how I'm doing so far! ** AND, I'm going to be naming the chapters from here on out (Plus giving the other's names too). Each of them are going to be songs released during the 50's and 60's. This Chapter is Sunshine Of Love, by Cream. Enjoy!

In the darkness of the night, Cassidy was unsure who the man in her yard was. He was waving warmly at her though, as if they were long lost friends. What if it was that Soc; the one who had attacked her? The thought caused her to bite her bottom lip nervously, but at least Ryder was home. He'd keep her safe no matter what.

She heaved her window open bravely and leaned her head outside, where she could see more clearly. She was expecting another pebble to be hurled toward her, but instead the figure began running closer as he realized he'd caught her attention. With each step his appearance became clearer and clearer, until Cassidy knew exactly who it was.

"Dallas Winston, what the hell are you doing here?" Cassidy hissed, a wave of relief washing over her. Dally grinned wickedly as she spoke, "You scared me half to death."

"Get ready, princess, we're going to the movie theatre." He whispered and started walking around to the front, giving her no time to answer. She shook her head and closed the window quietly. Dally actually wanted to hang with her! It was both an incredible and anxious feeling that settled in the pit of her stomach, but she hurried to dress in a more appropriate attire. Jeans and a navy blue tank shirt seemed to do the trick. But as soon as she glided outside silently, a burst of cool wind wracked her body.

"Jesus, you're going to freeze in this weather," Dally said. He handed her his leather jacket, and she put it on and sighed at the warmth emitting onto her cold skin, "Come on, let's go; before your brother wakes up."

Dally turned and started walking casually toward a shiny, bright red Thunderbird. Cassidy was surprised to see such a nice car, but followed him anyways.

"Is this your car?" She asked once he'd started driving.

"Nah," He replied, lighting a cigarette, "My buddy, Buck Merrill, he let me use it. I wouldn't admit to it to anyone else, but I could never have something as nice as this."

"You don't know that," Cassidy shrugged, flashing her icy blues eyes to his grayish ones, "God, Dally, do you always drive this fast?"

Dally laughed and only sped up. They zipped past buildings and houses at the speed of lightning; or close to it. Cassidy spotted the drive-in movie theatre before they even got their; the giant screen probably illuminating a whole acre of cleared land. Dally parked and led her inside, although he eyed a small crevice under a fence leading into the enclosed area. He paid for them both and found two empty seats. The movie was just beginning, even though they were really paying much attention.

"So what happened with you and the police?" Cassidy asked.

"I thought one of the boys would tell you," He muttered. Someone snapped at him for being too loud, but he ignored them easily, "I dunno; I've just got this reputation the fuzz don't like. They'll jail me for dropping a pin on the sidewalk."

Cassidy felt Dally's hand stretch behind her shoulders, and she smirked knowingly but said nothing.

"I used to live in New York," Dally stated, "Yeah, I rolled with the big guys up there. I did rodeos, too. I still do, sometimes. I used to be a champion; the gang used to come and watch me."

"Sounds dangerous." Cassidy chided.

"You've got to have a little adventure in your life, princess," Dally replied, "Now that Soda ain't here, can you tell me what happened in Adamsville?"

Cassidy sighed and bit the inside of her cheek. Should she tell him? Could he keep things a secret? Her emotions won the best of her, and she decided to express what had happened anyways.

"There was a small gang in Adamsville. They weren't friendly, like you guys. They killed people on a regular basis; including my friend, but that's a whole different story. They were mean and vicious and lived on the streets," She cleared her throat, "I had stayed at school late and was walking home when one of them jumped out of an alley and pinned me. The others were drinking and holding me down too. H-He held a knife to my throat so I couldn't get away. They completely destroyed my clothes and would have… continued, if it hadn't have been for Ryder. He scared them away before they could do anything worse than what they'd already done."

She pushed down the fabric of his jacket and her shirt, and showed him the long scar running from the nape of her neck to her armpit. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head in dismay.

"Wow. I'm sorry; I truly am," He murmured, his tone changing, "That's why you were so afraid of me that first night."

"Yeah," She said, "But I know who you are now. You're different than what I thought you'd be."

"You look cold, com'ere." He said suddenly, and pulled her closer to him. She smiled contently and settled against his shoulder with his cheek on the crown of her head. He's horrible at flirting.

"Soda seemed mad when I talked about you." Cassidy said after a long pause where they'd both paid some attention to the movie.

"Ah, he's just jealous. If you let him cool off, he should be fine. It's something about those Curtis boys that makes them real angry, real fast," Dally shrugged, "He's searching for love, too. He dropped out of school a few months ago and works full time at the DX Gas Station, but he still has a lot of time on his hands. He's talking to this Sandy girl, but they aren't a real couple yet. What do you think?"

When he received no answer, Dally looked down and saw that she had fallen fast asleep, curled tightly against him. Her chest rose and fell evenly with each long, tired breath. Dally smiled, but said nothing to her. He was comfortable this way.

A/N: Aww :3 How sweet. Like it, review it!
