A/N: This story isn't a parody of The Outsiders and so any humor in the story is purely my own creation and is not meant to mock…unless, of course, I'm discussing the Mary Sue (Mike), in which case I'm mocking as much as possible. Nothing she does or says should be taken seriously. I won't include her too much but I just couldn't help parodying the insanity that causes people to create those new girls in town who manage to be tough and tuff and capture the hearts of everyone on the east side. Also, have you noticed how they all seem to have boy's names?

It was a Saturday afternoon and Dallas Winston was just waking up. "Morning already?" he mumbled. He noticed that he was lying on a floor and wondered why. 'Where am I,' he wondered. He looked around and found that he was at the Curtis' house.

Just then Ponyboy and Sodapop walked in, "Mornin' Dally," said Sodapop, brightly.

"Yeah, morning," said Ponyboy, sarcastically, as it was afternoon.

Dally thought about asking what he was doing on their floor, asleep, in the middle of the afternoon but he decided that it would be better to pretend that he knew what was going on. He brushed a tuft of pale, blonde hair away from his eye and said, "So, what's for breakfast?"

"Well, actually," began Soda, "I was just making lunch."

"All right, what's for lunch?" Dally amended.

"Sandwiches."

"My favorite."

They began eating sandwiches and staring into space until Ponyboy said, "Oh yeah, there's supposed to be a new girl at school tomorrow."

"Where's she from?" asked Soda.

"Ah…I think the teacher said Seattle."

"Hah, Seattle," Dally laughed bitterly.

"Why do you sound so bitter about Seattle?" Soda asked.

"No reason," said Dally, concentrating on his sandwich.

"Oh, Johnny's here," said Ponyboy as Johnny walked in. "Hey Johnny!"

"Hey," said Johnny, quietly and jumpily.

"We're going to the park," said Ponyboy and the two of them left.

"Yeah I've got to get going too," said Dally. He got up and wandered out of the house. As soon as he got outside he felt extremely bored. 'Oh man, I'm so bored,' he thought. Then, 'I know! I'll go with Ponyboy and Johnny.' He ran after the teenagers, yelling, "Hey wait up!"

Ponyboy and Johnny paused long enough for Dally to catch up and the three of them walked the rest of the way to the park.

When they got to the park they noticed a girl fighting with some random people they had never seen before. She easily fought off the five people and they ran away. The strange girl turned to the three greasers, tucking her three switchblades into her pocket and said, "Hey, you lookin' for a fight?"

"You must be the new girl," said Dally, disapprovingly.

"Yeah, my name's Mike."

"Mike?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah."
