In this AU phones were a thing though they were a new enough thing. One day Ponyboy decided it would be a good idea to play around with his phone a bit and accidentally made a groupchat but it turned out to be fun and chaotic and definitely worth it

Dallas: “GUYS HELP IM BEING CHASED BY THE COPS AGAIN 😭”

Sodapop: “jeez wot did u do this time dal?” (hes bad at spelling in the book so)

Darry: “Dallas where are you.”

Ponyboy: “Not again 😭”

twobit and johnny are just fed up of this😭
