OMG! I got my first FAVs AND FOLLOWs! OMG I'M FREAKEN OUT! Okay, okay. I'm calm...I'm calm. I literally posted the first chapter FOUR HOURS AGO and I already had people reading it. So, I decided to give an extra chapter on the same day, as a token of my appreciation. This literally took me forever! I couldn't find a screen play so I had to watch the movie and pause it as I went. I'm not really complaining though, gives me an excuse to watch the movie again. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the next chapter!
The movie starts out with a golden background of Tulsa. The names of the people who made The Outsiders appears on screen, while the song 'Stay Gold' starts to play.
"Ugh!" TwoBit groans "I thought I was watching a movie, not reading a fucking book."
"Yeah," Steve grumbles, "Isn't the whole point of watching a movie is so you don't have to read."
"It's a really pretty song though." Johnny says, and Ponyboy nods in agreement.
The names of the actors appeared on screen. Ponyboy played by C. Thomas Howell, Dally played by Matt Dillon, Johnny played by Ralph Macchio, Darry played by Patrick Swayze, Sodapop played by Rob Lowe, TwoBit played by Emilio Estevez, Steve played by Tom Cruise.
"Who's Rob Lowe?" Sodapop asks.
"I guess he's the guy that plays you in the movie." Ponyboy says.
Soda smirks playfully, "I hope he will be as handsome as me!"
Dally rolled his eyes, "Well these guys don't sound to old, so I'm fine."
"I wonder what my character will look like." Johnny says looking at the screen as the names of others like Tim Shepard and Cherry appear.
"Yeah, so do I Johnny," Pony says. "C. Thomas Howell." He mumbles.
The name for the author of the book The Outsiders appeared as well as the director.
"There's a book too?!" TwoBit says, astonished. "Jeez, how much information do these people have on us."
Soda nodded thoughtful, before his face turned to disgust. "Wow, yeah! That's just really creepy.
"S.E. Hinton's the author." Pony says.
"Well, he's a real creep." TwoBit says.
"How do you know he's a he?" Ponyboy asks skeptically.
"Well what else could it be?" Dally twirls his cigarette around his fingertips. "A girl? Please, no one could perfect this character," He motions to himself. "And to talk of a girl." He says rolling his eyes.
"Well it doesn't say the first name, probably just for that purpose." Johnny says quietly. Dally gave Johnny an odd look before Johnny turned his gaze back to the movie.
"Says the director's also Francis Ford Coppola." Johnny added.
Scene fades out to Ponyboy writing his theme on his composition notebook.
"Is that you Ponyboy?!" Soda yells.
Ponyboy frowns, "Naw. It can't be me. I don't have blonde hair."
Ponyboy seems to be thinking and opens his book to the first page and starts writing. "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house..."
"Yes! Yes that's you!" Soda says loudly. "It has to be you."
"Yeah," TwoBit adds. "Who else would be writing and watching a movie."
Scene cuts to Pony walking out of the movie house and the voiceover continues "...I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home."
"Yeah see that's you." Soda says again.
"Yeah, okay, I get it." Pony says, smiling only slightly.
"Your hair looks similar and normal now though." Soda points out, "Wonder what happened."
"We're gonna find out, now hush!" Darry says.
Ponyboy walks up to nearby mirror and looks in his reflection. Behind him a handful of Socs drive up and insult him, calling him greaser and such.
Everyone besides the youngest Greaser frowned at the scene.
Ponyboy continues walking away, but they follow him and almost hit him with the car. Pony starts running away.
Darry glares at the screen.
"I swear if they touch one hair on my kid brother." Soda grumbles.
They get out and tackle him, one of them pulls a blade. "Need a haircut Greaser?" He laughs. Pony struggles and they cut his neck.
"Rotten Socs." Soda snarls.
Darry puts a hand on Soda, "Easy Pepsi-Cola. It didn't happen yet."
"Shut him up," they yell. And stuff a handkerchief in his mouth. The Socs run away, when they see the gang. The gang yells and chases them.
"There we are!" TwoBit says, "Was wondering when we'd save the kid."
The gang fights the Socs and Dally jumps off from the roof to join the fight. He grabs a large stick and throws it at Socs, and they drive away. Scene cut to Pony and Darry. "They didn't hurt you to bad did they?" Darry asks Pony. Soda runs up to Pony, "Hey Pony. They pull a blade on you?"
"Is that me and Darry?" Soda asks, head cocked to the side.
"I think so little buddy." Darry says.
"What!" Pony yells, "He doesn't even have your blonde hair."
Soda shrugged, "I don't know, he kinda does look a little like me. Even without the blonde hair."
"I think Darry looks pretty much like the actor, except younger." Johnny says.
"Yeah, looks like him." Soda nods. Pony huffs, "I still don't think "Rob Lowe' looks like you."
"Yeah." Ponyboy sniffles, looking away. "Hey, they ain't gonna hurt you no more." Soda says comforting. They stand up, "This is how you get yourself in trouble. You don't think." Darry says.
"Yup, that's Darry." Ponyboy says sarcastically.
"I'm only trying to protect you Ponyboy." Darry says stiffly.
"By not listening to a word I say." Pony responds angrily.
Darry obtains his cold exterior and looks down at Pony, "Don't talk back."
"You don't tell me what to do-"
"Guys," Soda looked disappointed. "Would you quit fighting and watch the movie?"
The two Cutis's sigh, feeling guilty. They reluctantly turn themselves away from each other and get back to the movie.
"How's the kid?" Dally asks, leaning against a busted car. "Fine," Pony says. "What are you doing out of the cooler, Dal?"
Dally raises an eyebrow. Soda sputters and chokes on the convenient water he was drinking, "That's Dally?!"
"You were the one who threw that stick?" Steve says amused.
"He looks nothing like you!" TwoBit yells. "Everything's wrong! The hair! The face! The- well. That's it."
"I mean except the entire facial features," Pony imputed. "He looks kinda like Dal. The clothes sure are right, and even the necklace."
Dally shrugged, "My guy's not that bad. He- what's his name?"
"Matt Dillon, I think." Johnny says.
"-could've been worse." He finishes.
"What do you mean what's he doing here?" Steve walks up to Pony, "What are you doing on your lonesome on the street?" Pony looks down, "None of your business, Steve." Pony mumbles.
"Steve!" Everyone besides Steve yells. It was silent for a moment.
"Steve! That's Steve!" Soda yells.
"Okay," TwoBit looks at everyone. "Forget about what I said about everyone else. Steve this guy looks absolutely nothing like you. In fact he looks the complete opposite of you. He has brown hair, handsome features, muscles. You don't have any of those Steve-O." TwoBit got a punch in the nose for that.
"It says this was based of the book. Did these people not even follow what the book says?!" Pony exclaims.
"Whoever hired that guy- Tom Cruise is crazy." Steve grumbles
"Hey Dally, how you doing?" Steve greets Dally. "Thought you were in for ninety days." Dally warmed his hands, "Yeah, I got out early, man. Good behavior, you know." He put in a cigarette in his mouth and saw Johnny, "Hey Johnny, how're you doing man?"
"Whoa! They look exactly alike." Pony observed. Johnny blushed, embarrassed.
"We're not the exact same..." Johnny says.
"No he's right Johnny." Dally replies, giving the screen a double take. "Shoot, you sure you don't have a long lost twin brother or something." He smiles lazily at the younger Greaser.
Johnny laughs and shakes his head.
"Was that the guy that got you?" Dally looks at Johnny. Johnny shakes his head, "No they were...other guys." He shifts uncomfortably. "Alright, now that I'm out, I'm gonna make it my business to get the guy whoever did that to your face." Dally points.
Johnny shivers and Dally looks over to Johnny in an almost pitiful look.
"What about me becoming your personal bodyguard, huh, Ponyboy?" TwoBit yells across screen. "I don't think it' stop hot of an idea." Pony answers.
Everyone looks to TwoBit, who is confused by everyone's stares. "What?" He looked at the screen and back, then realization struck him. "Is that supposed to be me?!" A chorus of nods answered him.
"He even has your Mickey shirt, too." Soda added.
And Two's jaw touched the floor.
"Na, Na, Na. I'm gonna hunt some action. If little kids are aloud." Dally says. "We'll go with you," Johnny looks to Ponyboy, "Won't we Pony?" Pony looks unsure, "Who says we're looking for trouble, huh Johnnycake?" He pats Johnny's back. "We're just gonna watch a movie like the good old days." Scene cuts to Soda and Steve fooling around. "Hey check this out buddy." Steve asks. He jumps on the car hood, and does a front flip only he fails.
Pony, Soda, and Johnny hold in their laughs, but Dally and TwoBit don't have an ounce of shame. They laugh like no tomorrow. Steve glares at them, "Hey remember, I wasn't the one doing those front flips." Though that didn't stop those kids any. Even Darry cracked a smile.
"I see you got your Christopher back, Dal?" Johnny walks towards him. Dally goes through the gate and pushes it back, leaning on it, "Little broad was two-timing me again when I was in jail, man."
Dally frowned, "Bitch." He sneered.
"Turn off the lights and get to bed." Soda said from his bedside. "I got work in the morning." Ponyboy walks in bed and gets himself situated in the blankets. "You cold Pony?" Soda asks. "A little." Soda turns and wraps his arms around the younger Greaser.
"What goes on inside the Curtis bedroom!" TwoBit said in an announcer voice.
Soda glared at TwoBit, and Ponyboy blushed from embarrassment.
"Hey listen kiddo. When Darry yells at you like that, he don't mean nothing." Soda says quietly to Pony. "He's got a lot of responsibilities after Mom and Dad died he ain't used to to. He loves you a lot." Sodapop tells him. "Sure." Pony responds.
Ponyboy shifts a little, he really hadn't been thinking at that time. He hasn't really considered it like that before. He'll be sure to at least listen a to Darry once in a while. To at least prevent these 'prophesied deaths' to come. He shivered.
Little did he know Darry's thinking the same thing. He didn't want Pony to think that he didn't love him. He really does love Ponyboy. He and Soda more than anything.
"Soda, how come you dropped out of school?" Ponyboy asks. "Cause I'm dumb." Soda replies unemotionally.
Ponyboy frowns, "You're not dumb Sodapop."
"You're not dumb." Pony says. "Yeah I am."
This time Darry turns to Sodapop, "No you ain't dumb Soda."
"Hey, you shut up and I'll tell you something." Soda says. Pony turns around, "Alright. What?"
"Ooohhh secrets!" TwoBit whisper-yells.
Steve glared at him, "I swear if you don't keep it down I'll pummel you."
"I'm gonna marry Sandy." Soda says, smiling really big.
"What." Darry says flatly.
"WHOA, SODAPOP!" TwoBit says, patting Soda on the back. "Nice man. Hey invite me to the wedding won't ya?"
"You finally gonna lose your virginity?" Dally asks. "Bout time."
Soda was already a deep red, "G-Guys this hasn't even happened yet. Me and Sandy are going slow." He stutters.
"Whoa is it Make The Curtis Brother Blush day." TwoBit jokes. He turns to Darry, but Darry beat him to it. "You will never make me blush." He leans in closer, "Ever." TwoBit gulps and nods, slowly backing away.
"What time do these even happen?" Pony asks, "I'm kinda confused."
"Well it doesn't like that long. Maybe a couple of months or so." Johnny says.
"Soda? Soda you in love with Sandy?" Pony asks. Soda, who is almost asleep, replies with a, "Mmhmm." Pony asks again, "What's it like?"
"Love advice with Sodapop Curtis! Featuring Pony!" TwoBit interrupts. "Y'know Pony, if you ever need advice you can always come to me. Okay, now. First you see if they're blonde, then see if they have big you-know-whats. If they have both then you take 'em up to a room-"
"TWOBIT!" Darry yells, stopping TwoBit from getting my further. He was too late though, Ponyboy was already as red as a tomato.
"TwoBit, for the love of God, shut the fuck up!" Dally says.
"What's the time?" Soda turned to his side of the bed. "It's real nice."
"You really love Sandy, don't you." Ponyboy asks. Soda smiles, "Yeah. I really do." Steve claps Soda on the back, "I'm happy for you buddy. You got a real nice one."
Johnny smiles at Soda, "Good for you Sodapop."
"Aww thanks Johnnycake." Soda says giving the kid an affectionate noogie.
"Yeah Soda," Dally says lazily from above him. "Don't mess it up."
"We should eat." Darry says from the kitchen. "I have lunch ready."
"Well I'm starving." TwoBit says standing up, and it was followed by a bunch of agreements.
