Ponyboy is standing outside of him and his brothers, Sodapop and Darrel Curtis' house- with the rest of the greasers. Dallas Winston, Two-Bit Matthews, Johnny Cade, and Steve Randle.
Everyone just chills out at his house. He guesses it's cause he technically has the most normal home life, with no parents and just his siblings.
Did I mention it's the year 1965? A stark difference from the year that you came from.
Anyways, everyone goes to their respective places, leaving Ponyboy on his porch. He sits on one of the stairs, playing with sticks and dirt.. he's bored.
Meanwhile, at your place in 2024, your best friend (somehow) built a time machine, and sent you back to 1965.
You fall right behind his house. You look around and notice all the.. cars and houses. You jump up, running to the front yard.
Ponyboy notices you.
Ponyboy: "Hey!" He calls. "Who're you?" He asks. Why is there a random ass person in his front yard. The 14 year old yearns to know.
