Okay, so since it's gonna be halloween soon, and lately everything is ALL ABOUT halloween, I decided I'd write this.
It's just a little oneshot about the gang going out for halloween when they were little. :) And... believe it or not, seven year olds do not talk like babies.

So no one's confused, here's the ages.

Dally- 10
Johnny- 9
Ponyboy- 7
Sodapop- 10
Steve- 10
Two-Bit- 11
Darry- 13

Chapter One

"Darry, why aren't you dressed in a costume?" asked seven-year old Ponyboy Curtis, while pulling his jacket over his own costume.

Darry made a face.

"Mom only said I have to take you and Soda out, she didn't say I had to dress up. Besides, I'm too old for halloween." (A/N: Pssh, I'll be like eighteen and still going out for halloween xD But that seemed like a Darry-ish thing to say.)

Two-Bit, Steve and Soda were running around the house screaming with as much energy as a two year old. It was amazing that they could have the energy then did. Mrs. Curtis however, was not happy about it. Nor was Mr. Curtis.

"Boys, calm down," she said, while doing up Ponyboy's jacket.

However, her words had no effect on the... er... hyper boys that were now rolling on the floor yelling and screaming like maniacs.

Dallas however, was wayyyy too rad for that. He was way too rad for halloween, costumes, and even CANDY.

"You don't know what you're missing, Dal," nine year old Johnny piped up, smiling.

A couple minutes later the boys headed out, although they were only allowed to go so far. And Darry? Well, he wasn't all that happy about having to watch six kids, who would soon be sugar high. They liked to sneak bites of candy while trick-or-treating, so they got hyper while they were still out. Poor, poor Darry.

"YA CAN'T CATCH ME, I'M THE GINGERBREAD MAN," Two-Bit yelled, holding up a ginger bread man he had just gotten, running around waving it above his head and shrieking with glee.

Steve, Soda and Ponyboy decided to try this too, and soon everyone but Darry and Dallas were running around with gingerbread men.

...Until a figure jumped out of the bushes. The figure was, well, a ghost. But not the real kind, the sheet kind. But, being little, this scared Ponyboy and Johnny quite a bit. They ran behind Darry, screaming all the way.

And the 'ghost' took his costume off, only to reveal Tim Shepard.

"Aw, good one man," Two-Bit said, grinning and high-fiving him.

"I love halloween," Tim chuckled before walking off, his younger brother Curly right behind him.

While that was going on, Sodapop had preoccupied himself with trying to run into oncoming traffic. Sure, it wasn't very smart, but he had sneaked more candy than anyone. Therefore, he was more energetic and hyper than anyone.

"Sodapop Patrick Curtis, NO!" Darry said in a commanding voice, but that didn't stop him. Before anyone could even blink, he had rushed into the traffic. With Pony and Johnny clinging to his arms, Darry could do nothing to stop it. And Soda almost got run over. Luckily Two-Bit pulled him back onto the sidewalk, being smart for once.

"Don't play on the road buddy," he said, grinning a goofy grin.

But of course, that just made everyone run onto the road, except Darry, of course and Dally, who muttered something about idiots and how they were going to get themselves killed. But he did go an drag Johnny off the road. But he stuck Darry with the reast of them.

"Do you want to get run over?" he yelled.

And by the end of the night, Darry had almost gone insane.
