Dallas Winston's kid sister

Chapter 11

"What's everybody doing tonight?" I asked setting down a plate of sandwiches in front of everybody.

"Oh you know. Probably-" dally got cut off by a screaming coming from outside.

"Is that?"

"Pony!" Soda yelled cutting me off and running out the door.

We all stopped what we were doing a ran after. It didn't take long before we saw a ground of Socs beating pony to the ground.

"Hey!" I yelled.

All the Socs looked up and scrammed. All of us but Johnny and Darry went after them. I knew I was going to get an earful from Dally later but the gang had made me feel like I had an actual family again so you bet your ass I was gonna go after them. I grabbed a guy by the arm and kicked him down to the ground. As the Soc went down so did I, scrapping my chin in the process.

"You ass-" I got cut off by a hand pushing me out of the way and Two-bit jumping on top of the guy.

"Go check on Pony, kid."

I grumbled a little but did as he said.

"Hey Pony. You okay?" I ask as I knelt down beside Soda.

"Yeah."

We could tell he wasn't though. His voice was thick and he was holding back tears. Soda looked at him and sighed.

"They ain't gonna hurt you know more."

"Danni, your chin." Pony pointed out and Darry faced me towards him.

"It ain't that bad." I said and pulled my head away.

"You're bleeding as much as pony." Soda observed.

"No I ain't."

They all looked at me but didn't question it any further, knowing Dally would get onto me.

Soda and Darry helped Pony up as the gang came back over.

"What have I told ya about walking by your lonesome huh?"

"I was just walking home from the movies."

"Movies and books, movies and books. That's all you ever think about. I wish wish you would use your head sometimes."

"Come on Darry. Lay off a bit." Soda chimed in.

"If I wanted my kid brother to tell what to do with my other kid brother I'd ask, ...kid brother." Darry kicked the ground and walked inside.

"Geez Soda. Why does he gotta be like that?" Pony asked

"He's just got more worries than he used too." Soda replied and I walked over next to Johnny.

"You alright?" I asked.

Daily had told me about what with Johnny and I never brought it but I think Dally told him that I knew.

Johnny nodded and looked at me.
"Are you alright?"

I went to answer I was fine when Two-bit's voice made me stop.

"Hey Dal, you missed a good fight."

"Did I huh?"

"Yeah." I answered, turning to him.

"Your face looks like shit Danni."

"Gee thank. Just what every girl wants to hear."

"I mean it Danni. I've told you to stay out of this. You just need to-"

"What? Use my head? Cower in a corner? Stay out of it?"

"Exact-"

"I'm a Winston Dally! Same as you!" I glared at him, standing tall.

Dally glared at me for a long while and the whole gang was quite. Unsure of what to do. Dally finally sighed and walked ahead of me.

"I where thinking about going to the Nightly Double. Anybody in?"

"Steve and I are taking Sandy and Evie out." Soda said.

"That means no kids allowed." Steve glared at Pony and I saw him roll his eyes.

"Pony and I will go. Right Pony?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah alright. You in Dan?"

I looked at Dally and he shrugged.

"I guess so." I shrugged back.
