The gang was lounging in the Curtis house hold. Well, almost all of the gang, Johnny wasn't there but he was sure to turn up adventually. They were watching tv and all jumped when Johnny flew through the door.
"You guys better come see this." Johnny said, trying to regain his breath.

The guys shot up and followed him out the door. Johnny usually didn't say much so it must be important. They followed him as he walked towards the lot. He stopped, they caught up with him and looked at what he was staring at.

It looked like a teenager asleep, curled up. It was dark but they realized it was a girl because she had long wavy brown hair.

"Is she asleep?" Soda asked, peering over Darry's shoulder.

"Nope, passed out cold." Johnny said "I tried to wake her up, when it didn't work I came and got you guys."

They were gorgeous. The blades were polished and so were the handles but you could still keep a good grip on them. They had silver markings on the handle's too, they looked kind of like vines or something. Two-Bit get them down on the kitchen table.

Soda covered her up with a blanket. The gang stayed the night because they were all curious about the outsider asleep on the couch. Pony, Soda and Darry slept in their rooms but the rest of the gang just slept in chairs or on the floor.

The next morning Dally and Steve woke up when they heard a loud thump. The girl had rolled off the couch and landed on the floor. They both watched at the girl rubbed her eyes, pushed back her hair and looked around...
