*Daddies and Dates*

Dallas Winston and Johnny Cade sat in the living room of Johnny's house, waiting for the poor soul who would take Tabby Cade on her first date. Dallas was there basically to scare the living shit out of the poor boy.

"So what do we know about this kid?" Dallas asked his buddy. Johnny shrugged.

"Tabby didn't tell me anything about him." Johnny told Dallas. Dallas gave him a skeptical look.

"Well, that sounds a little fishy." Johnny shook his head.

"I trust my daughter, Dal. I'm sure this boy is nice and will treat Tabitha right." Dallas didn't look convinced, but he didn't say much more.

It wasn't long before a knock came from the door. Johnny was about to get up to answer, but Dallas beat him too it.

"This will give me the chance to scare him." Dallas told him. Johnny rolled his eyes, but he remained seated.

Dallas opened the door, expecting to see a thirteen or fourteen year old boy (Tabby was thirteen) awkwardly standing there. Instead, a sixteen year old boy stood before him. The boy wore nice clothing and he had a beautiful red rose in his hands. Dallas looked behind him to see a nice car.

"So, where is your brother?" Dallas asked. The boy smiled sheepishly.

"Um…No…My name's Evan Johnson and I'm Tabby's date." Dallas stood there in shock for only a millisecond before he reacted.

"The hell you are," He told the boy before he slammed the door in his face. He turned around to see a shocked Johnny.

"What was that all about?" Johnny asked. Dallas was fuming!

"My niece, my sweet innocent niece is going out with a sixteen year old Soc." This caught Johnny off guard. Tabby, his Tabby-cat had a date with a horny sixteen year old? How was that possible? Why a Soc? As if on cue, Tabby, Cherry, Kelly and Sam all came into the living room.

"Is Evan here yet?" Tabby asked. She looked beautiful, Johnny had to admit. She was truly growing up, but there was no way she was grown up enough to go out with a sixteen year old Soc.

"He's here alright, and there's no way your leaving the house with a sixteen year old Soc." Dallas hissed out. Tabby blushed and looked down at her shoes.

"Tabby, why didn't you tell me? Did you know about this Kelly?" Johnny asked after a moment of silence.

"Yes, but I just found out about the age difference about a half an hour ago." Kelly assured her husband. Johnny turned his attention to Tabby.

"Well, I knew you wouldn't let me go out with him if you know," Dallas muttered something under his breath, "and I knew you wouldn't like the fact he's a Soc." Tabby told them. Johnny took a deep breath.

"Tabby-cat, the only reason why a sixteen year old would go out with a thirteen year old is to con them into sex. I just don't want to see you get hurt." At that moment, Tabby looked up at her father with large, brown eyes. Johnny gulped; he could never resist those eyes.

"But Daddy," Oh God, she even used the Daddy card, "Evan is different. Please Daddy, give him a chance." Johnny tried to resist, he really did, but when it came to his daughter he was a total push over.

"Fine," Johnny said, "you can go on your date." Tabby looked up at him with large, surprised eyes. She ran over to her father and pulled him into a hug.

"Oh thank you, Daddy." Johnny smiled and kissed her hair. Not long after that, Tabby and Evan were off to their date, and Dallas and Johnny were off getting the guys together to spy on them.

They ended up going to the drive-in for their date. Evan paid for their drinks and their snacks, which Tabby found to be really sweet. They now sat in the car, Tabby curled up next to Evan with his arms around her, both watching the movie. Every once in a while, Evan would look down at his date and smile; he couldn't believe that they were on their first date.

Evan didn't have any alternative motives, like most boys his age would. Of course he was a teenage boy, and teenaged boys thought about sex and stuff, but he knew that Tabby was too young for that. Plus she wasn't the kind of girl to sleep with every boy that bought her a coke. That's what he liked about Tabby, she had morals; she was also insanely beautiful, but that was beside the point.

It wasn't long before their snacks and drinks were running low. Evan was the first to notice this, so he nudged Tabby softly and said, "How about we go get some more drinks." Tabby sat up and nodded. Slowly and quietly, the young couple made their way to the snack shack thing. What they didn't know was that Johnny had Ponyboy trailing after them, spying.

Ponyboy hated this, why did his buddies have to do this? He understood the fact that the boy was older, but Tabby would never let him go too far, she just wasn't that kind of girl.

"So what do you want?" Evan asked as he pulled out his wallet. Tabby blushed.

"You know you don't have to pay for everything." She told him softly. Evan chuckled at that. You could tell this was her first date.

"The boy normally pays for everything," He reminded her. She sighed.

"I know that, but I feel bad," Tabby told him, looking down at her feet. Evan took her chin softly in his hands and pulled her head up a little to look at him. His face was soft as he said, "I want to pay, Tabby. Please don't feel bad," He then placed at kiss on her cheek. Tabby felt a little disappointed when he didn't kiss her lips, and she was about to pull him into a kiss until someone bumped into them.

"Oh I'm so sorry, I…..Tabby what are you doing here?" Ponyboy asked. Tabby felt her heart stopped. Her Godfather was here, that was not a good sign. If her Godfather was there, that meant that her father and the rest of the gang would be there. Oh God, why do you have to be so mean?

"Uncle Ponyboy, what are you doing here?" She asked softly. They were lucky that the line was moving slowly.

"Oh nothing, this must be your date. Hi, I'm Ponyboy Curtis, Tabby's Godfather." Evan and Pony shock hands.

"Evan Johnson, it's a real honor to meet you sir. I love your books." Ponyboy smiled at that, before he turned back to Tabby. All she needed to know was in his eyes. He was telling her to run, that her crazy uncles Dallas and Two Bit would be looking for them, and that her father wouldn't stop them from ruining her date.

"It was nice talking to you Uncle Pony, bye." The couple quickly got their food and left the building, Tabby pulling Evan along.

"What's the hurry?" Evan asked.

"My idiotic Uncles and my father are here, to spy on us and to ruin our date. We have to get back to the car and lie low." Evan, who wasn't a big fan of her Uncle Dallas, nodded and ran with her to the car.

Once they got back to the car, they took a moment to catch their breath. They made it, they really made it. Tabby smiled at Evan, and Evan smiled at Tabby. Slowly, they leaned in for a kiss, and when their lips were just barely touching, a knock on the window made them jump. They turned around to see Two Bit Matthews standing there with a large, idiotic smile on his face. Tabby felt like screaming as Evan rolled the window down.

"Hello son, you must be little Tabby-Cat's date. How about you kids come sit with us in the seats over there," Two Bit said as he pointed the seats out. Tabby really wanted to die right then. Evan, being the smart guy that he was, gave Tabby a look. It basically said that they might as well go with him. Tabby sighed and nodded.

"Sure Uncle Two Bit." After Evan locked up the car, they followed Two Bit over to the seats. Tabby had been right; the whole gang was there, including her Uncle Soda and Uncle Darry. She felt like dying. After Tabby introduced Evan to her Uncles, they sat down to watch the rest of the movie. At one point, Tabby began to shiver a little from the cold. Evan noticed this and wrapped his arm around her. Dallas and Johnny noticed this, and Dallas was the one to act.

"Okay buddy, hands off my niece." Dallas told him, acting as if he were arresting Evan. Tabby blushed.

"Uncle Dallas!" She hissed. She then turned to her father, "Dad, please tell him to stop." Johnny was torn, but then he remembered what he used to think about when he was sixteen. This seemed to push in forward. Johnny didn't tell Dallas to stop picking on Evan; he didn't say anything at all. By the end of the night, Tabby was pissed. She didn't even get to hug Evan goodbye before her Uncle Dallas pulled her away from him. Oh Evan would never want to go on a date with her ever again.

Kelly sat in the living room, sipping a coke and looking out the window anxiously. Johnny had left about two hours ago to get toilet paper, which really worried her. Just as she was about to get up and call Ponyboy, Johnny and Tabby walked into the house. Tabby looked as if she were ready to cry.

"Tabitha, I'm sorry." Johnny pleaded. Tabby whipped around and glared at her father, which really threw her mother off.

"No you're not Dad. Why would you want to ruin my first date?" Kelly was knew what happened now.

"I was just worried about you!" Johnny told her. Tabby's glare stayed in place.

"I'm not always going to be your little girl, Dad. I'm growing up, if you like it or not." She began to run to her room. "Just don't talk to me!" she called before she slammed her bedroom door. Kelly turned to face her husband, a disappointed look in her eyes.

"I can't believe that you did this, Johnny." She didn't say much more, which hurt Johnny more than having her yell at him.

*A week later*

Tabby gave her father the silent treatment for the next week, which really killed her father. Tabby still hadn't heard from Evan, which really unset her. It looked like her stupid uncles ruined her chances with him.

One day, the phone rang, and it was for Tabby.

"Who is it?" Tabby asked her mother. She had given up on waiting for Evan to call.

Kelly smiled. "You'll see." She handed her daughter the phone and left the kitchen.

"Hello," Tabby greeted.

"Hey Tabby," Tabby felt her heart stop. It was Evan, it was Evan!

"Oh, hi Evan…Look I'm sorry about how my father and uncles acted on our date. I understand if you don't want to see me again." She heard Evan chuckle. What the hell?

"Tabby, don't worry about it. I still want to date you, as long as your aren't mad at me for not calling. I just wanted to give you time to cool off before I called you again." Tabby smiled at that. He was so sweet.

"You really mean it?"

"Yes, I do. Tabitha Cade will you be my girlfriend," Tabby felt like jumping up and down and squealing. Instead she took a shaken breath and said, "Yes."

Later that day, when Johnny got home from work, he was pulled into a hug by his daughter as soon as he walked into the house.

"I'm sorry for being so mean, Daddy." Tabby told him. Johnny smiled and hugged his daughter back.

"I'm sorry for being a jerk." Johnny told her.

That night, Johnny asked his wife why Tabby was so happy. Kelly smiled and said, "She and Evan are dating now." Johnny felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
