~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dally's POV
Sodapop came to Buck's Barn with Steve, Twobit, Ponyboy, and Johnny, crying. I answer the door and let them in. It's Saturday so It's cleaning day at the barn so Buck leaves the Barn to me for the day. I sit them down on the couch and asked why Soda was crying. Before they can answer, I hear a blood curtling scream of my name coming from the roof. "Dani." I mumble, worried.
I race up the stairs to the roof with the gang following me. Except for Soda. He's too busy crying his ass off.
"Dani's here???" Two asks.
"Yes... It's a long story. I'm surprised you even remember her. You were hammered whem I introduced you." I answered.
"Hey hey hey! I have mastered the art of remembering things when I'm drunk." Two replied. I ignore him
I open the door and run to her. I wrap my arms around her trying to comfort her. "Just breathe. I'm right here." I say. I have never successfully comforted someone. But with her, the right words just come to me. My shirts becomes drenched in her tears and a little bit of blood. It seems that her cut is bleeding. "Let's get you downstairs so you can get new bandages."
She agrees and I try to bring her downstairs. But she is so paralyzed, I can't get her to stand. She won't let go of me. So I decide to carry her downstairs to sit with Soda.
"What happened to you face soc?" Two asked as she releases her grip and I go to get more bandages. I see Pony and Johnny shoot him a glance. Two-bit realized that he had said something without a filter and looks away in embarrassment.
"Are you ok Dani?" Johnny asked, sweetly.
"Yea. Just a nightmare." She responds, adjusting to not being in a dream anymore and wiping away her tears. "Don't worry about me. What happened to... Sodapop? Right?" She says, trying to remember if that's his name. They hadn't actually been introduced before. She didn't actually get a chance to meet him the other day.
I return with the bandages and start reapplying them and stopping the blood. Soda starts explaining why he was crying. "Sandy's pregnant." He says. I stop and freeze for a moment.
"What?" I ask.
"Yup! The worst week of my life. First my parents, and now this!" Soda continues.
"Wait, but isn't this a beautiful thing?" Dani asks.
"It would normally be." Steve said. "If it was his kid."
"Holy shit!" I say when I finish the bandages. "Here, let's go to a dairy queen. My treat. I'm so sorry, man."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time jump!
Just a few months.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dani and Soda have become very close friends, Johnny and Dany have become close friends. The tension remains between Dani and Dally even though she still is staying at Buck's with him. She finally fits in with the group really well. The group is eating lunch off campus again. Dally sits next to Dani, Dani sits next to johnny, Johnny sits next to Pony, Pony sits next to Two-Bit, and Two sits next to Dally. Dani, again, has no lunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pony's POV
The group is wierdly silent.
I decide to start with, "Hey Dani, I know that you are looking for a kind of new family, new home, new start kinda thing, so yesterday at dinner, Soda proposed to Darry that since we have an extra room now, maybe you might wanna live with us and kinda become a Curtis. He said that you could have it if you wanted it." I offer.
I saw her face light up with happiness. "If I'm not invading or anything, I would love to be a Curtis." She said. I look over at Dally and he seems a little sad that Dani's going to be moving out. (Well technically she never actually lived there so she can't really MoVe OuT. But whatever.)
"Great! I'll tell them the news. Hey dal, I heard that you're hosting a party tonight. Are we invited?" I ask.
"Pony, you know that Darry said that you can't go to a party until highschool." Dally said.
"But I'm basically a highschooler. I'm 13." I plead.
"Not a highschooler, man." Dally says.
"Hey! Why does he have to wait like six years? When I was his age, I was sneaking into strip clubs. It's just a party, Dal." Two-Bit says.
"It's only two years, Two-Bit." Says Johnny, correcting Two's math.
"What?" Two asked.
"You said six years. It's only two years before Pony goes to high school." Johnny replied.
Dally snickers. "That's why you're failing math." He jokes.
Two throws his sandwich at Dally in anger and embarrassment. Dally laughs again as he falls back on his back. "Jesus christ man, you try to back a man up and all you get is a math lesson." Two says under his breath, but still loud enough so we can hear. Everyone except Two-Bit falls back laughing. I check the time to see that Soda and Steve are on their lunch break. I can see them running toward us with bags of food and ciggarettes.
"Hey guys!" Dani yells as they wave. As soon as they sit down to join us, the vice principle Mr. Grey comes towards us in dissapointment.
"I swear it's always the greasers." He says under his breath. "Detention! All of you. Except you two. You don't even go here." He says, pointing fo Steve and Soda. "But everyone else gets detention for an hour after school." He ends, walking us back inside the school.

Detention

Dani's POV
I'm sooooooooooop fucking bored. The gang has been sitting here for a half an hour being forced to be quiet. The teacher isn't even here right now. He'll come in every 15 minutes but then he'll just go make out with Principle Dale.
"Hey Dal!" I whispered. "You wanna do somethin crazy?"
"What?" Dally asks, ready to jump on board.
"Let's go to the party." I say
"We are. Later." Dally said.
"So? Why can't we go now?" I ask.
Ponyboy overheard. "Are you guys seriously gonna ditch me here to go to some stupid party?"
"No, we're not Pony." Said Dally, strangely grumpy.
"Why, are you scared of us getting caught?" Dani said.
"No, we're just going later." Dally said.
"What's your problem?" I ask. I realize now that this sentence came out way more rudely than I intended.
"I don't have a problem." Dally answered
"Come on, Dal." Two-Bit said, teasingly. "Tell her how your so sad that your little girlfriend is moving out."
"Shut up Two!" Dally said, standing up, grabbing Two by the shirt and putting his arm up like he was gonna punch him.
"Listen it was a stupid idea of mine. There is no need to fight." I said, trying to calm them down.
As Dally released his grip, Two-bit had the stupid idea to press more of his buttons. "No, that's ok Dani. I wanna see how far he'll go for you." He said.
Before anyone else can even move, Dally punches.Two-bit across the face so hard, that he falls to the ground. "I said shut up, you son of a bitch." Dally reinstated.
Everyone bursts into commotion as Two stands back up, ready to fight. Altogether, we were so loud when trying to stop the fighting, that Mr. Grey had to rush in and intervene before he even had the time to wipe Principle Dale's lipstick off his face. "I can't even leave the room for five minutes without having to step in between a fight!" He yells. "I swear, yet again, always the greasers." He says under his breath. "If I could, I would keep you here for another hour under intense supervision, but I have a date tonight." He stated as if we cared. "So each of you will get another hour in detention on saturday."
We left that day confused and dissapointed. Saturday?! Fucking Saturday?!! We were all intruiged to see how this plays out at the party later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intruiged? On the edge of your seat? I thought so. Stay tuned for the party seen in the next chapter!!!
