So I was reading ThatUniqueGirl1112's book The Canadian Fan Trash... (It's really good if you want to check it out!!!!!) and in this past chapter, it's mentioned that today is Outsiders Day!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea!!!!!!!!!

I would've written a special FanFiction or something if I had known earlier. Oh well! I have this mediocrely written OneShot that I found in the depths of my Notes app and touched up instead:

Johnny's favorite part of the Afterlife was the sunsets. They were gorgeous, with their blazing reds, majestic purples, bright oranges and electric yellows. The colors never ceased to amaze him with their beauty.
He sighed. "I wonder if Ponyboy showed Dally a sunset yet." He quietly said to himself. The endless loneliness of wherever-he-was was so intense, he was worried he'd go insane if he didn't hear some human voice, even if it was his own.
Behind him, a rough voice spoke. "Look at a sunset?" It scoffed. "What the hell would I do that for?"
Johnny half expected that he imagined it. He almost expected to see nothing when he turned around. But, instead of nothing, he saw Dallas Winston himself.
Johnny almost choked. "Dally? W-what are you doing here?"
"I'm dead, same as you." He said nonchalantly as he sat down next to Johnny. "Ain't it obvious?"
Johnny was at a loss for words. "But..how? I was gone for...what, an hour? You died in an hour?"
"Don't act so surprised, Johnnycake." Dally said as he ruffled Johnny's hair. "We all knew I'd end up like this one way or another."
"But...how'd you die?" Johnny asked again, this time insistently.
"Cops," Dallas answered. "Always cops. Ya know, all I did was rob a store-not even a bank or anything fancy like that-a grocery store, for Lord's sake! And suddenly the cops are all after me. They shot me down."
"Why?" Johnny asked.
Dally looked at him like he was crazy. "'Cause I robbed a grocery store."
"No," Johnny said. "Why did you get shot down? Normally cops don't shoot unless you got a weapon or..." He looked at Dally. "Oh, Dally, you didn't..."
Dally snickered. "Oh I did." He grinned evilly until he noticed Johnny's face. "What? It was an accident. I had the heater in my hand when they told me to put my hands up. I guess they thought I was aiming at them or something." He shrugged.
"But..." Johnny stared at him. "Why were you robbing a grocery store?"
"Uh..." dally seemed at a loss for words. He scratched the back of his neck. "Cause I felt like it?" It came out more as a question than a statement.
Johnny stared at him for a second before announcing, "You're lying."
"Damnit Johnny!" Dally cried. "How do you always know?"
Johnny just shrugged. "I don't. I just have to say 'you're lying' when I think someone's lying, and the guilt does the rest." He grinned evilly. "Now, tell me, Mr. Winston. What were you doing, robbing a grocery store?"
Dally sighed. "I...I missed you, Johnnycake. You're...you're the only thing I've ever loved."
Johnny stared at him silently for a minute or two before responding. "Dally...I love you too."
They continued to watch the sunset until it ended, enjoying each other's company.

HAPPY OUTSIDERS DAY TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
