Starlight express fan kid and how I think baby trains would work (I based my fan kid off of Bochum StEx because I was creating her before Wembley but ABSOLUTELY NO HATE TO WEMBLEY BECAUSE IT CHANGED MY LIFE)
Dotty the Candy Trolley
•3 years old in train years
• Campionship (Greaseball x Dinah) child
• When she grows up she’ll be a full fledged bakery coach but for now she’s just a bitty Candy Trolley
•Daddy’s girl for sure, Greaseball spoils her rotten
•will often “bake” with her mother (what I mean by that is that Dinah let’s her lick the batter off of a spoon when she’s done baking a cake)
• Greaseball is SOO protective of her it isn’t even funny. If CB is even in a 10 mile radius of her (because let’s be real who in their right mind is letting CB be around a kid) let’s just say that CB better start praying to the Starlight Express.
•poor baby is so shy (is often seen clutching either her mother or father’s leg)
•Greaseball originally wanted to name her Turbo but Dinah refused. “C’mon Dinah no boy would ever be around her with a name as cool as that” said GB, “If you think that I would ever even think of naming our daughter TURBO then you’re terribly mistaken, Greaseball!” Fought Dinah. Dinah, of course got her way and the baby was named Dotty.
•Every train thinks it’s funny to watch cool Greaseball in all of his cool leather greaser attire riding around holding a little trolley wearing a fluffy pink dresses and bows (because let’s be real Dinah would definitely dress her daughter up in all things pink and girly) but no one would dare laugh at him.
• has Dinah’s brown hair but with GB’s blonde streaks and big brown eyes
OK how I think that Dotty was made. Basically For one of Control’s Christmas gifts he was given a candy trolley for his trains and took one look and her and decided “she has the same colors as GB and Dinah so I guess she’s their baby” and then a newborn train baby just randomly appeared in Dinah’s arms one day while with GB. And at 1st they (Greaseball) freaked but the moment she started doing that baby babble thing they fell in love with her.
Might do other fan kids later (let me know what y’all think)
I saw this and all I could think of was Darrel Curtis and his future newborn daughter (because he screams girl dad)
Greasy and Greaseball can’t cook for shit but they tried to bake a cake for Dinah’s birthday (with some help from Di)
Greasy: GOOD LORD ITS ALIVE!
The half-baked cake is quite literally breathing as the kitchen is on fire
Greaseball: KILL IT!
Di is sitting in the corner, shaking her head. Dinah walks into the chaos
Dinah: I LEFT YALL ALONE FOR 10 MINUTES AND YALL MANAGE TO BURN MY KITCHEN DOWN WITH A BETTY CROCKER CAKE MIX!
Needless to say, Greaseball slept on the couch that night. (But Dinah was happy they tried)
Derek (Greaseball) was 14 Dinah was 12 and Gale (Greasy) was 3.
One time Derek and Dinah were watching Gale for the day (this was before Di came to town.) And they realized they can’t find Gale. So Derek freaks because he knows his dad will beat him if Gale is gone so they run around the whole house trying to find the toddler Gale. Until Dinah comes across Derek’s bathroom.
Dinah, trying not to laugh: Derek! Get in here!
Derek: What!?
Derek runs in
Derek: Holy shit
There Gale is on the ground, her brother’s hair grease smothered all over her face.
Dinah: She’s like you! A mini Greaseball! Just more Greasy
Derek: damn right she is.
And she’s been called Greasy ever since
“I don’t think I could leave him even if I wanted to, there’s something about Micheal James Watson that would make anyone not want to leave his presence. His laughter, his voice, and the way he sings. Everybody wants to be around him, he just wants to be around me, and who am I to complain?”

Sandy from The Outsiders is probably one of if not the most hated character in the book for her cheating on Sodapop and getting pregnant. But what if that wasn’t the whole story? What if the baby truly was Soda’s? And what if she needed to leave Tulsa for her child’s safety and her owns? (This will include 2 of my Outsiders OCs, Kitty Lebeau and Ladybird Curtis)
This is loosely based on the cut dialogue between Soda and Pony in the La Jolla production of the Musical
This is that dialogue.
In this AU, Sandy remains a soc as she is in La Jolla and after she becomes pregnant she learns of her Mother’s plot to have the baby taken away as soon as they are born as she couldn’t possibly have a grandchild with greaser blood. So she turns to the one woman she trusts most in the world, her old cheer captain (and my OC) Kitty Lebeau. (So this is a fusion of La Jolla and the book)
Run Run Captain.

“So the moment after the child is born they’ll come and take it away? Good. Lord knows I will never have my precious daughter’s reputation stained by the account of some hood. She’ll thank me one day.” I hear mother spit on the phone, my mind races, she can’t! Soda said he would take care of us. Doesn’t she understand!? I slip back into my room, it hadn’t been three days since I found out I was pregnant and she said that she would support whatever I wanted to do, I should have known.
I sink to the floor, tears streaming down my face. Oh god, what do I do? The thought of my child being taken away from me, from us pains me. I can’t tell Sodapop, he’ll go ballistic on mother, then no telling what she’ll do. I could get help from Ladybird, but she’d immediately tell Soda, she is his twin after all. My cheer coach? No, she’d side with my mom, the old bat. So nobody, nobody in the world who could help me. A picture frame caught my attention, it was a picture of my first championship with me holding up our 1st. Place trophy with the help of… oh yes! Why didn’t I think of this before! My cheer captain predecessor, and probably the best thing that could ever happen to our cheer program. Katherine Lebeau.
I waited until it was about 9 at night to sneak out of the house, I hope to god that she was at her mom’s house, the woman’s insane and was abusive towards Katherine. I stop my bike in front of her house, thank god Darrel’s (Katherine’s fiancée) truck is in the driveway. I rush into the house to see Katherine in the kitchen drinking some tea.
“Sandy! What are you doing here? Are you alright?” She quickly stands up from her stool. “Mother’s trying to take my baby away when it’s born” I spit out. Her face goes white, “what?” Her thick Alabaman accent slurs her speech. “Katherine, what do I do?” I cry, she wraps her arms around me. I hear someone else enter the kitchen. “Kitty…Sandy!” Ladybird runs other to us, “what happened!?” Bird asks, her voice dripping in worry. “Mother is gonna take my baby away” I cry. “Hey! I ain’t gonna let her…between the 3 of us we can come up with a plan” Katherine nods to Bird.
After we let go of each other Kathrine stays quiet for a few moments, “Tweety, go to my mother’s bathroom and grab her ring box” She tells Birdie. “…yeah” Ladybird mutters before running upstairs. “You gotta run” Katherine turns back to me, “excuse me?” I ask, “it ain’t safe for the two of you, I gotta house on Montgomery and a full tank of gas and I can get you there before daylight and be back before nightfall. We got a couple of maids and a butler that can help you. Ok?” She asks. It’s for our baby Sandy “…ok” I mutter.
Ladybird comes back in with the box, “this is my mother’s wedding ring, so once you start showing people won’t judge” she pulls out the simple gold wedding ring. “Pretend to be the wife of a Vietnam war soldier, waiting for her husband to return from war… sound good?” Ladybird, the Queen of lies, alibis and aliases asks me. “Uh…yeah that’ll work” i sheepishly take the ring, “I tell Soda about your location” Bird adds, “no!” I protest, “no?” They question in unison. “Listen I love Sodapop with all my heart but he’ll go ballistic if he learns what my mom has done. And I really need to protect my baby at all costs…even if it means breaking the love of my life’s heart” I sigh.
“What do you mean?” Katherine asks, “….tell Soda…tell him the baby isn’t his…tell him that I ‘cheated’ and brake his heart. He won’t come looking for us if he think it isn’t his, then my mom won’t be able to try and find us” I sigh. “No! Nononono, Sandy Whitlock you’re going insane. I can’t do this to my brother!” Bird refuses. “Ladybird…” Kitty puts her hand on Bird’s shoulder, “it’s the safest way” Kitty says softly like a well tuned violin.
“Let’s not waste any time now…I am going to tell Darrel but I promise on my darling sister’s grave that he won’t tell” she promises, “ok…that’s alright with me.” We spent the next 30 minutes running around grabbing stuff for the journey, blankets, soft clothes, warm heat packs. Kitty is on autopilot, which is expected, her best friend and co-captain got pregnant her junior year and that ended with her pregnant and shot dead in the clavicle. “Let’s go!” Kitty yells, Birdie hugs me tightly “bye Sandy, I will see you soon” I smile at her words, “ bye Tweetybird” I jump in the car with Kitty, still on auto-pilot. “Say goodbye to Tulsa my friend, this might be your last time” she sighs.
Run run captain you gotta get out while you can.
This sucks, part 2?

Totally, Greasy’s favorite is Dinah’s Cherry pie, (Di has tried to make it before but has always failed)

A short story about my human stEx AU.
(This is when Greaseball (Derek) and Dinah were 22 and 20 and Greasy (Gale) and Di were 11 and 10
Derek (Greaseball) to Dinah: “Hey Dinah!”
Dinah looks up from cooking: “yes Greaseball?”
Derek, pointing to Greasy: “My little sister thinks your cousin is cute!”
Gale (Greasy), throwing herself under the table: “DEREK STOP!”
