dallas and y/n arrived at the curtis house as he parked the car. he turned off the engine before the both of them got out of his car. y/n nervously bit her bottom lip as dally noticed that she seemed nervous. "why are you nervous, doll? there ain't no need to be nervous" she glanced up at him before looking back at the curtis house. "i-i know.. i just—" but he cut her off before she could finish. "come on.. they'll be happy to see ya. don't be nervous" she inhaled quietly before nodding. dally started walking towards the front door as she followed closely behind. he opened the front door, spotting soda and steve arm wrestling, two-bit watching mickey with pony and johnny, while darry was in the kitchen cooking

"oh hey dal— angel" johnny smiled immediately seeing his kid sister. he got up before rushing over to y/n to engulf her into a tight hug. "angel.. we didn't know you were coming home today. we thought you weren't coming home till thursday" johnny said with a soft smile. by this time, everyone had their attention on y/n. "the doctor said that she was healed enough to be let out two days early" dally said as he ruffled y/n's hair. "well gee, that's great news. say kid, how ya feelin'?" sodapop asked as he came to hug her as she immediately hugged him back. "a lot better compared to a week ago" everyone smiled hearing her words. "good to hear, kid" darry said with a smile as he made his way back into the kitchen to check up on the food

"hey, did y'all hear 'bout the rumble tonight?" two-bit said as he took a sip of his beer, keeping his eyes glued to the television. "who hasn't? the socs always wanna start trouble with us greasers" steve said as he sat down next to two-bit. y/n looked at all of them as she bit her bottom lip nervously. "a-are you guys gonna go?" she asked quietly. "well of course we are. if we don't go and stand our ground, then the socs will think it's okay to come into our territory more often" soda said as he sat on the couch. "can i come?" everyone shot their heads in y/n's direction hearing her words. "hell nah, doll. you just got outta the hospital not even an hour ago. we don't need you back in there" she sighed hearing dally's words. "please" she pleaded as dallas shook his head

"no" he stated firmly as she ran her hand through her dark hair. "dallas is right, y/n. we're not saying that you can't fight and stand up for yourself, but if one of us can't get to you in time, you could end up in the hospital again. socs are stronger than you think" ponyboy stated softly. 'they're right. i don't feel like being in the hospital for another week' y/n thought to herself before speaking. "fine, i'll stay here" everyone smiled hearing her words, happy that she wasn't being stubborn. "there's food out here if anyone wants some" darry yelled from the kitchen as everyone immediately ran to get food

three hours have passed, and it was now time for the rumble. "we're gonna beat those damn socs!" steve yelled as everyone cheered. "come on y'all, it's time to get going" darry said as he tucked his black t-shirt into his jeans before putting on a belt. "guys.. please be careful. i'm only one person, i can't take care of seven boys" everyone surrounded y/n as they hugged her. "don't worry angel.. we'll be careful" johnny said as he ruffled her hair. "i'm trustin' you, johnnycakes" she said as she ruffled his hair back. "we'll be back in 'bout an hour" she nodded hearing johnny's words as all of them went out onto the porch except for dallas. she stood there as she watched how dally stood in front of her before bending down to her height

"i can tell you're on edge, doll. relax, will ya? we'll be alright" y/n nodded at his words as he pecked her forehead gently. "that's a good girl" she blushed hearing his words as he winked at her before heading out the door. she watched how steve did a backflip off a car and how ponyboy jumped onto darry's back, piggybacking. she sighed as she slowly saw all of them disappear. she couldn't help but feel nervous and on edge. she didn't want anything happening to them. she couldn't afford to lose any of them as they were like family to her. if she lost them, she would lose apart of herself. going back into the curtis house, she decided to watch some television to calm herself down

the greasers made it to the place where the rumble will be, already spotting the other greasers waiting for them. the socs weren't there yet which pissed them off because they didn't want them ditching and making the greasers look like a bunch of fools. "now where the fuck are these damn socs. they better not have ditched" steve stated. "give it time. they'll show" darry said in a casual tone. sure enough, two minutes later, the loud roars of engines erupted. the greasers stood their ground as the socs parked their cars and soon got out of them. they stood in a line, face to face with the greasers and no one said a word. "where's the feisty little girl, huh? oh wait... that's right, i killed her" dallas stepped forward, his jaw clenched, but darry put his arm in front of him, preventing him from punching the soc

"actually bob, she is very much alive and well. we told her she couldn't come" darry stated, his tone cold. bob smirked as he shook his head. "goddamnit, you greasers just don't wanna die, do ya?" the greasers grew angry hearing bob's words, but stayed in their places. "shut your trap, man. this is why your momma left you" two-bit said calmly as bob clenched his jaw. he went to punch two-bit, but randy stopped him. "bob, no.. remember the deal we wanna make with 'em?" randy whispered to him. "oh right.. i almost forgot" the greasers looked at the socs, confused expressions on their faces. "we wanna challenge y'all to a race. the loser ain't no longer allowed in the winner's territory. the winner is allowed in the loser's territory whenever they feel like it. do we gotta deal?" the greasers all looked at each other before responding to bob's challenge

"deal" darry said calmly as bob smirked. "good.. say, i hear sodapop is a good racer. why don't you race for the greasers and i'll race for the socs" sodapop clenched his jaw before responding. "fine" bob smirked. "that's what i like to hear" dallas glared at him before punching him square in the jaw. the rumble had begun. dallas continuously punched bob in the face, causing him to get a bloody nose and multiple cuts on his faces. darry was hovering over a soc, punching him nonstop until he had enough. two-bit and steve were beating up two socs while johnny, ponyboy, and sodapop did the same. soon, it started to rain and everyone got drenched. the greasers were beating the socs by a large amount

"damnit! come on guys, let's get outta here!" one of the socs yelled as all of them got into their cars and sped off. the greasers remained silent for a few seconds as only heavy breathing could be heard. soon, they all started cheering. "i told you we would beat those damn socs!" steve yelled loudly as they continued to cheer. "alright y'all, let's go back. y/n is waiting for us" darry said as they all walked back to the curtis house
