This Time
Author's Note: I'm stuck on both Lilly and Violet so here's a fic in the Stuck in the Future sort of family. Basically another "the gang travels to the future, Dally cusses a fangirl out, and they stay for a while" sort of idea. Now no one here is really their true person so if one of my friends is reading this, no one is you... even Jessica and Amanda, whose names I borrowed. Now I used the guys you thought were cute in the movie, but I made you a lot different. And no this isn't one of Amanda's psycho dreams, do you see Sonny and Alexa anywhere? No. Well I should get back to explaining. Well Dally cusses a lot, as you all know, so I decided to keep his character true to that. I might use a few songs, because Roxy, Carrie, Jess, Chris, and Amanda are all in a band. but other than that, the only songs I will use will be on the radio. Kay well this is my longest intro ever. I'd better start the story or y'all will kill me. But first, I'm making a blog so that my characters can "post" you'll find it here: http://this-time-roxy-soda-chris-johnny. ... okay well here's the story.
Your Authoress,

Sixteen-year-old Roxy Stewart laughed as one of her stepsister, Christina Fitzgerald did another impersonation of Two-Bit... even though Johnny was her favorite character. They were of course, talking about the Outsiders.
"Knock it off Chris! Or should I call you Two-Bit, since you're actin' like him?" Jess, Chris's younger sister asked.
"Who's actin?" Chris asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"That's one of Ponyboy's lines, not Two-Bit's, Two-Bit," Jess said
"You would know."
"So what? At least I'm not actin' all like Two-Bit when I don't get nearly as many dates as him."
"Comin' from a fourteen-year-old, who's never been on a date her whole life."
"Shut up Chris."
"Come on, admit it. Roxy help me out here," Chris pleaded.
"No Roxy help me. Tell her she's actin' just like Two-Bit so she shouldn't get to use one of Pony's lines," Jess said.
Roxy was saved from having to choose sides, however, because the doorbell rang, and Roxy got up to get it. When she opened the door she found her friends. Amanda White was trying to look tough, and Carrie Kimball was just looking annoyed.
"Let's get this joint rockin' and rollin', eh?" Amanda said.
"Shut up Amanda, or is it Dally? I can't tell the difference. Hey Roxy, how's it rollin'? Hey is Mickey Mouse on? I love that guy!"
Roxy laughed. Classic Carrie. Carrie had been one of Roxy's best friends, and her neighbor for as long as she could rememer. Carrie was eighteen, a year and a few months older than Roxy. Amanda had just turned seventeen, but was only two and a half months older than Roxy. Christina was almost six monts younger than Roxy at sixteen-and-five-and-a-half-months. Jess was the youngest at fourteen. Nevertheless, they were all friends.
"Come on in y'all. And we'll 'get this jont rockin' and rolling' Member, we're listening to Elvis. I see y'all are dressed frot the occasion," Roxy said, surveying her friends clothes as she let them in.
Chuck Taylors, jeans, t-shirts, and jackets or another shirt was what they were all wearing. The same thing that Roxy, Chris, and Jess were wearing. The only things that separated them were their looks, what type of jacket they had on (if any), and what kind of t-shirt were they wearing. They were all around the same height. Roxy was wearing a white t-shirt with a pink and tan plaid shirt over top. The latter was left open, and she medium-light ash brown hair. Chris was wearing a black t-shirt, and a jean jacket, and had carmel colored hair. Jess was wearing a black tank top with no jacket, making her dark brown hair look darker. Carrie was wearing a Mickey Mouse t-shirt in red and white, and a black leather jacket on over top. Her hair was dark brown with dark blonde highlights. Last was Amanda, she had blonde hair and was wearing a black t-shit with a brown leather jacket.
"Elvis is tuff enough," Amanda said. Then she turned back into Amanda, instead of Dallas. "You told us to dress like our favorite character. I see you are. Can we watch the movie first? Dally is so hot!"
"No he isn't!" Carrie argued, "Two-Bit is!"
"No, Johnny is!" Chris argued with both of them. Needless to say thay had reached the living room.
"Ponyboy is the cutest," Jess said and it was more of a statement than an argument.
"Y'all are wrong! Soda's the hottest one in the movie!" Roxy exlaimed. Everyone knew she loved Rob Lowe, her room was covered in old posters of him as Soda. Granted, since Chris and Jess lived with them, their rooms were covered in Outsiders era Ralph Macchio and C. Thomas Howell posters. Since Carrie and Amanda were staying with them for a few months while Roxy's mom and Chris's dad were in England on their extended honeymoon, Roxy, Chris, and Jess had decorated their rooms with posters of Matt Dillion (both Outsiders and post-Outsiders), and Emilio Estevez (only Outsiders era). As soon as they had put all of Carrie and Amanda's stuff away, Amanda wnated to watch the movie.
"Just put the freakn' movie in!" Amanda exlaimed.
"Yeah, so she can drool all over Dallas! But put it in, Roxyroll, I wanna see it too," Carrie said. Roxyroll was Roxy's nickname.
"Alright, well if y'all will come to the theater room, I can play it."
The other girls followed Roxy to the theater room. Usually Roxy, Chris, Jess and their friends weren't allowed, but since their parents were in England for the next three months, Roxy figured it couldn't hurt. Boy, was she wrong.

Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade ran to the park. Ponyboy's oldest brother, Darry, had just hit him. When they reached the park they noticed two of their friends arguing. Dallas Winston was yelling at Two-Bit Matthews.
"Hey y'all," Johnny said tiredly, "stop arguing."
Dallas shut up, and Two-Bit looked at them.
"What the hell are you two doin' here? It's two in the morning!" Dally exlaimed.
"I was just about to say the same thing." Ponyboy turned around to see his brother Sodapop. "Ponyboy, look, Darry's awful sorry he hit you. He wants you to come home. I can understand if you don't want to, but I want you to."
"I'll go. Johnny come on, you can stay at our house."
"Thanks, man."
"You comin' Two-Bit? You and Dal can watch tv."
"Sure, I ain't got anythin better to do," Two-Bit said
"Dal?" Soda asked.
"Sure, why not?"
"Hey Pone, I need to talk to you," Soda said. Ponyboy nodded and walked over to his brother.
"What's up, Soda?"
"You got a cigarette, Ponyboy?"
"Sure," Ponyboy said as he gave Soda one. "What's up?"
"Sandy and I broke up."
"Why?" Ponyboy asked.
"I caught her with another guy. Look, if you ever see Evie or any of our girls with another guy, tell us."
"Alright. You okay, Soda?"
"I will be."
In a few minutes, they had reached their house. Soda opened the door and let everyone in. But they were'nt inside the Curtis's house. They were somewhere completely different.
"We sure ain't in Tulsa anymore," Two-Bit said.
"Shut up Dorothy," Dally snapped.
"Looks like we're in a movie house," Ponyboy mused.

Roxy and Carrie started for the door of the theater room. The interior of the theater room was inspired by an old 50's movie house. It looked exactly like the glipse of one at the end of the Outsiders. Chris, Amanda, and Jess had rushed up to the control room and began to play the Outsiders. They made it back down just in time to hear Carrie say "Roxyroll, look. Do you see what I see?"
Inside were five guys, ages ranging from fourteen to eighteen. Of course the minute Amanda realized who they were, she actually fainted. Two of the guys laughed at that. The other three looked worried.
"She alright?" one of the boys asked. He looked just like Rob Lowe as Soda.
"Yeah, just shocked," Roxy replied. "Hey you don't happen to be Sodapop Curtis, do you?"
"Yeah. How'd you know that?" Soda asked.
"Look at the screen."
The movie had made it to the part where Soda and Darry were asking Ponyboy if the Socs pulled a blade on him.
"WHAT THE HELL? How do you know that?" Dally asked.
"It's sort of a movie," Roxy answered. "I know all of your names too. You're Dallas Winston, he's Ponyboy Curtis, and next to him is Johnny Cade, and next to you is Two-Bit Matthews."
"Yeah," Soda said, "That's right. I'm guessing the movie told you that too?"
"Yep," Roxy answered. "I'm Roxy Stewart, by the way. The girl who fainted is Amanda White, Next to her is Carrie Kimball, Next to me is Jess Fitzgerald, my stepsister, and her sister Christina, but we call her Chris."
"Where are we?" Ponyboy asked.
"Kings Creek," Jess answered
"Where's that?" Johnny asked
"In Delaware."
"That sure ain't Tulsa. Ain't it by Maryland and Virginia? And Pennsylvania and New York?" Two-Bit asked.
"Yeah cept we're right up on the Atlantic Ocean. I wouldn't go to the beach just yet though. Still tourist filled," Roxy said.
"Well this sure as hell wasn't a movie when we left," Dally said.
"When did you leave?" Carrie asked.
"Like 2:30 in the morning," Two-Bit said.
"What year? That's what I meant," Carrie said.
"Oh, um 1967, why?"
"Wow," Carrie said.
"Why wow?" Soda asked.
"It's 2007 now, and don't y'all go fainting on me too. We still need someone to carry Amanda, here, up to her room," Roxy said.
"I'll help," Soda said.
"So will I," Two-Bit added.
So Two-Bit and Soda carried Amanda up to her room.
When they reached her room, Dally was shocked, to say the least. Soda and Two-Bit put Amanda on her bed, and looked around the room.
"Is she a fuckin cult fangirl or something?" Dally asked.
"Watch your mouth, Winston. No, she ain't a fangirl. She just thinks you're hot," Roxy said.
"Can't say I disagree," Dally said.
"I can," Roxy said.
"So can I," Jess said. Chris and Carrie nodded in agreement. Dally looked a little pissed.
"Hey, Amanda still likes you," Chris said.
"Looks like she's obsessed with me."
"No, she isn't. Jess and I put these up to embarass her," Chris said.
"Oh. How do I know she likes me then?"
"You'll know when she wakes up. Trust me," Roxy said.
"Hey do you wanna listen to some modern music?" Chris asked.
"Sure," Soda said.
"Follow me," Roxy said, and she led them to her room.
"Someone likes Sodapop," Two-Bit teased.
"Someone's gonna get their ass kicked if they say that again," Roxy countered, and Two-Bit stopped.
"Roxy, wanna listen to Panic! At the Disco?" Chris asked.
"Duh. Panic!'s awesome!"
"But I hate Panic! Put in JoJo!" Jess whined.
"Too bad. We're older, so we automatically win, right?" Chris asked Roxy.
"Right.. Okay first song has a long title... The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage... Weird title too, but that and I Write Sins Not Tragedies are my favorite two," Roxy said as she played the music.
"Really? I always liked Time to Dance and Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off."
"What did you just say?" Dally asked.
"It's the title of the song, listen."
Chris skipped forward a few songs until she came to track number seven.
"Lucky number seven," Chris said. A guy came on the stereo.
Is it still me who makes you sweat?
am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it.
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch your skin.
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl I was it look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me.
Chris stopped it at this point. "Isn't it awesome?!"
"Yeah, I liked it," Dally said.
"Anyone else?"
"It was kinda racy, you know like something kids shouldn't listen to," Johnny said.
"Well it has a parental advisory on it."
"That was your favorite song?" Two-Bit asked.
"Yeah."
"I didn't like it that much," Soda said.
"Well Roxy's favorite song says whore."
"That ain't as bad as fuck," Two-Bit said. "'Specially when it's used like that."
"Hey I know how to get Amanda up," Roxy said.
"How?" Soda asked.
"Well we blast My Chemical Romance."
"What?" Soda asked.
"It's a band. I'll play it," She said as she led everyone to the stereo in Amanda's room.
Well if you wanted Honesty that's all you had to say
I never want to have you go or let you down
It's better off this way
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot
From Jumping out the second floor?
"I'm up! I'm up!" Amanda shouted. "Just turn that damn music off!"
"Alright," Roxy said, happy that her plan worked.
"Hey, where's Ponyboy and Jess?" Chris asked. Johnny shrugged. "Let's go look for them, Johnny."
"Where's Dally?" Amanda asked. "Since I obviously wasn't dreaming that you guys were here."
"Glad you weren't dreaming at all," Roxy said.
"Oh but I did. Last night. Oh my God, it was so funny, Roxy! Sonny and Alexa got married and then there was a screen that came up and said 'nine months later' and then they had a baby and named it Pinky. God, I always knew they were idiots."
"What?" Soda asked. Dally walked into the room.
"These kids in our school. They like each other and for some bizzare reason Amanda always has dreams about them. They're always like weird. Once she had a dream where she shot everyone in the school, and then committed suicide by police. Oh and then theres that incident when I was asking who the cutest person was in the Outsiders movie, because we were in seventh grade and had read the book, and were watching the movie. Amanda had already seen the movie, and so had Chris. Chris said she only thought one person was ugly: Steve. Now miss genius here says you're the cutest, Dally."
"Shut up," Amanda said.
"Alright, but I guess you're not going to New York tomorrow with us. Then we're going to my aunt's farm."
"Why?" Dally asked.
"To see the horses. Jess and I love horses. My aunt has a few. We're going there the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is New York City."
"Leave me out of it, man," Dally said.
"Yeah I don't feel like New York either," Amanda said. Roxy gave her a suspcious look.
"I'll go. I've never been to a big city before," Soda said, "At least, not like New York."
"Hey Soda, let's go and find Chris, Jess, Ponyboy, and Johnny," Roxy said.
"Alright," Soda said as he followed her out of the room.
Author's Note: Okay well the first part of chapter two was originally a part of this chapter, but I changed it, for reasons you will know eventually. R&R.. I forgot to add. I edited this.. I forgot to put Roxy introducing hereself and her friends.. lol
