Authors Note: I know, I know. I shouldn't be starting another new story. I can't help it though. These ideas just keep coming to me and hey, I've gotta roll with the punches. Haha, well. Yeah. This is one of those 'next generation' things or whatever. I don't usually like writting them because I always feel that it has nothing to do with said series, except maybe the parents. But whatever. Here I go.

Disclaimer: If I owned The Outsiders, I would be writting a book and not fanfiction. Plus, Johnny would be alive. I do, however, own Remy and that whole gang. I also don't own "Down Towards the Healing" which is a song by Lovedrug.

Chapter One - The Unconceivable Conceived

Ponyboy

Sodapop Curtis, my older brother, married Cherry Valance about twenty years ago. It's kind of a weird concept, Cherry and Soda, but if you thought about it long enough you realized that they were perfect for each other. After Soda's girlfriend, Sandy, went to Florida and dumped him, he started hanging out with Cherry more and more. Before you knew it, he was popping the question.

Their wedding was really nice. It was kind of calming to see everyone - Soc or Greaser - come together for this wedding. Two-Bit bought the happy couple a six pack of cherry soda as a wedding present. Soda still has one of those bottles sitting in his room.

Soon enough, Cherry was pregnant and they were having a baby. Let me tell you something about this baby. She was one of the prettiest things you've ever seen. It's kind of hard not to be when you've got parents as good looking as Sodapop and Cherry. She had Cherry's red hair and more or less her face as well, but her eyes were a mix of both of theirs. A light, happy brown mixed in with green - hazel, if you will. They named her Remy Scarlett Curtis. Sodapop thought it would be cute if her middle name regarded her hair, like Cherry's name does.

Now, you may be wondering about me. When I turned twenty, my brothers and I decided to move out to California. We were all sick of being labeled, and thought it would be nice to start over. I live somewhere in the city with my fiance, Cindy and I work as a screen play writter. Darry finally got the money to be able to go college, and Sodapop owns a little family restaurant.

Enough with this boring stuff, though. I think its time to get on with the story.

Remy

"Wow. Would you look at that.." I followed my friend Lucy's gaze to see a group of three guys. We were currently in the food court of the mall, enjoying the last week of our summer vacation. I had to admit, they were pretty cute. One of them caught Lucy's eye and waved and Lucy, being who she is, waved back. I rolled my eyes a bit. It's not that I didn't like meeting cute guys, its just that I didn't like meeting cute guys when I was with Lucy. You see, Lucy is gorgeous. She's half asian, half white and has really long, silky smooth black hair and dark blue eyes. I was going to suggest making a run for it while we still had time, but it was too late.

"Well, hello there ladies," one of them said, even though you could totally tell he didn't even notice my presence. He was tall with blond hair at just the right length and blue eyes. The guy standing at his right had light brown hair and light colored eyes. He looked a bit younger then the blond, but maybe he was just smaller. The other boy was standing there, kind of nervously. He had longish black hair and really big black eyes. We sort of made eye contact for a second, but I broke it off quickly.

The blond held out his hand for Lucy to shake.

"The name's Kory Adams," he said in some suave voice. Lucy giggled a bit and shook it.

"Lucy Sherman. This here's my friend, Remy Curtis." Lucy nudged towards me and I gave a small wave, even though Kory was not intrested, the brunette was completely preoccupied with something else, and the one with the black hair..well..I wasn't sure what was going on with him.

I fixed my skirt out of boredness, which Lucy seemed to notice.

"So, uh, who're your friends?" Kory seemed a bit agitated that he had to take time away from Lucy to introduce his friends.

"Lucas Bourke, and Brody Hall."

"Um, I'd prefer Luke, actually," the brunette said, but Kory didn't pay attention. I felt sort of bad for them actually, and I was a bit bored.

"So, how old are you guys?" Luke looked a bit suprised I was talking to him.

"Ah-fifteen." He looked at Brody, who looked like he was totally out of this room, but finally answered with a quiet, "Sixteen." Luke sighed.

"Don't mind him, he's not usually this shy.." I smiled a bit.

"Well, I'm Remy. Remy Curtis," I said, holding out my hand which Luke shook.

"Yeah uh, we know."

"You do?" Luke opened his mouth to speak, but Brody interupted him.

"We go to the same school." I raised an eyebrow. So, he speaks.

"We do?"

"Yeah. I was in your algebra class last year." Oops. I racked my brain, trying to remember him being in any of my classes, and then I did. This guy, Austen, who thought he was just the hottest thing in town (and I mean..yeah..so maybe he was) would make fun of Brody all the time for being so quiet. I can't believe I didn't remember that.

"Oh! Right. I remember.." There was a bit of awkward silence, which was soon broken when Lucy and Kory had finished their talk. Both of them had earned phone numbers.

"Well boys, time for us to be leaving now. Nice meeting you, ladies." Kory smiled then walked away, Luke and Brody following behind. Once they were out of earshot, Lucy squealed. It didn't really get to me though, I was thinking about Brody for some reason.

"Remy! Can you believe this? School hasn't even started yet and I've got a potential boyfriend! And get this, he's ninteen!" That got my attention.

"He's what? Luce, you can't possibly be thinking of going out with him!" Lucy just shrugged. I wondered what a ninteen year old was doing hanging around two sixteen year olds, anyways.

Brody

"So, how old are you guys?" I looked up a bit startled that Remy was talking to us. I heard Luke answer, but it took me a while to give my own. God, she was really pretty. Ever since last year I've thought that about her. Every time I told my friends, though, they'd look at me like I was nuts and say, "You know who's pretty? That Lucy Sherman girl," or something like that.

I looked to my left to see Luke, bored out of his mind. He seemed a bit relieved when Kory said it was time to leave. To be perfectly honest, I was pretty glad too. Standing there with Remy was just so..awkward. Especially since she didn't even remember me.

Once we left the food court, Kory whistled.

"Isn't that something? Did you ever picture me picking up a girl like Lucy Sherman?" He looked at me with this weird look.

"I can't believe your still going for that Curtis girl. I mean, she's cute and all but there are so many others like..well, like Lucy."

I just rolled my eyes and pretended not to hear him, which was better then anything I could've said. If you were ever a smart-ass to Kory, you'd probably end up looking like one.

"You know who I think is cute?" Luke mumbled. Kory didn't hear him and I was too out of it to answer him, so he didn't tell us who.

Lucy

Remy was always open to talking to cute guys, so I don't know why this time it made her so out of it.

"What's up, Rem?" I asked. She made a sound and rested her head in her hand. She looked at me for a second and then answered.

"Ninteen? C'mon, Lucy. You can get any guy in our school and you go for the ninteen year old you just met?" I looked at her, analyzing her. I've known Remy since kindergarden.

"That's not whats bothering you." Remy looked at me with a weird look. Ha, I guess this lie detector thing creeps her out a bit.

"What was..I..nevermind. So what do you want to do now-"

"Ah, no. You're not getting away with it that easily. What's bugging you?"

"It's nothing, really Luce. I would tell you." I looked her over again, and decided to give up for now.

"Okay..if you say so."

----------

PHEW: So, now you've been introduced to Remy, Lucy, Kory, Brody, annd Luke. If you didn't notice, Lucy is basically the amazingly gorgeous girl at school, and Remy is her 'side-kick'. I'll introduce you to their other best friend, Luke's family, and some other people. Haha. Reviews would be nice, by the wayy.
