	Go, then; there are other worlds than these. If, at his counsel, I should turn aside into that ominous tract which, all agree, hides the Dark Tower. Yet acquiescingly I did turn as he pointed: neither pride nor hope rekindling at the end descried, so much as gladness that some end might be.

Poor mom, though. Wow. I completely LOVED Bill's role in this. He's so equal to Tim head-wise. Smart, cunning, the whole nine yards. Getting even but still having Tim's back just like Tim did for him even though Bill didn't see it that way at the time.

Greaser Posts: 426 Group: Senior Member Member #17 Joined: September 9, 2007	I figured it was either going to be Hank for smacking around Mamma or Ray for smacking around Angela. I was about 50-50 either way. Though I must say I wasn't expecting Bill to shoot Tim. And then it was a big "I should have seen that coming". I love Bill. So smart and practical. Well, except for that small "Won't Vietnam be fun?" bit from Triangle.

Dirty Little Secret Posts: 3,613 Group: Senior Member Member #12 Joined: September 9, 2007 Favourite Outsiders Character Dallas Winston	"He ain’t gonna win this one, too.” I love that line from Bill. Just the fact that he has Tim's back so well and he does understand where Tim's coming from.

I'm with Latch... I wasn't expecting it, but it didn't come as a surprise. I was surprised, however, that his mom had been killed. I thought for sure she was just hurt very badly this time around. But I guess it makes Tim's actions that much more understandable.

I just realized in my excitement to read the actualy story (and I reread it a couple times) it took me till just now to read the summary!! :blink: I was wondering what ABBA had to do with anything. I'm so dense! That was a kick ass summary, though. Muttenchops! Oh dear! :huh:

But i wasnt suprised about the fact that Tim killed Hank. I always knew one day that guy would push Tim too far and he'd go off. I absolutely adored Bill in this one. Like i told Mars in my review, him shooting Tim was just brilliant. He told him he'd get him back for shooting him and he kept his promise. I just wonder whats gonna happen to Curly and even Angel now that both their parents are dead and their brother is most likely going to jail. And i CANNOT wait to see Ruby again! I am a little down by the fact Dally wont be in this one though. :(

I dunno, it might. How many people on this board am I internet married to?

They're probably really trying to take over the world and we literate people are out of the loop." - Latch, on fanbrats and bad spelling.

Greaser Posts: 426 Group: Senior Member Member #17 Joined: September 9, 2007	Woooooo Go Team Ruby. Tim shows up, out of fucking nowhere, they have hot sex and she handles it all perfectly. And go Tim for not holding onto a grudge. Like it was said in the reviews though, I'm waiting for the other show to drop. 'Cause it's Outsiders Fan Fiction and no one is allowed sunshine and rainbows all the time. I'm worried about Ruby's thinness and Bill absence. I'm gonna be mad if he's dead in a ditch somewhere. And Angela willingly had kids with Ray? Ew.
