I wrote the 1st two chapters of this tonight instead of sleeping.

Disclaimer: I don't own the outsiders if I did Johnny and Dally would be alive *Cries*

Good thing this is my fanfic soooo, poof! Dally and Johnny live! Anyway on with the story!


It was a quiet Saturday and the gang was chilling around the Curtis house as the rain poured down harshly outside. All of them seemed pretty bored, Ponyboy sat on the couch reading "Gone with the wind". Johnny sat next to him in thought about something or another. Two-bit sat on the floor watching a Mickey Mouse episode he had watched about 20 times before. Steve, Soda, and Dally were playing poker, Soda cheating as usual. While Darry sat calmly in the recliner reading the newspaper.

Everything was perfectly normal until a doorbell sounded. The gang looked up confused, normally people would walk into the house without a care in the world. Darry got up and opened the door, a confused look passed his face.

No one was there. He looked around then glanced down, a package was lying on the ground in front of the door. He picked it up flipping it around, it was addressed to the whole gang.

"Who was it?" Soda asked from the floor as everyone had resumed what they were doing. Darry sat the package on the coffee table, the others glanced over at it.

"No one just this package, the weird part is it's to all of us," Darry stated, that really got the others attention and they all looked over at it.

"Well, open it already," Dally said bored after a minute. Soda shrugged and opened it. It was a black book that had the words "The Outsiders" on it. Darry looked over to Ponyboy, who was looking at it curiously.

"Did you order this?" He asked Ponyboy shook his head.

"Does it say who it's from?" Steve spoke up, Darry picked up the packaging once more and shook his head.

"Nope, just says it's to us." He stated, Ponyboy picked up the book and opened it. To their surprise, a small piece of paper fell out. He picked it up and began to read

"To Ponyboy and the gang,

This is from the future and before your like no way, just you wait. This is a book written by Ponyboy in the future and you'll understand why soon enough. We don't want the events that take place in this book to play out so we are hoping sending this to you will prevent the things that occur. If you care at all about each other then you will read this book all through.

Sincerely,

The fandom."

"So do we read it?" Two-bit asked after a minute of silence. The gang was freaked out a bit, but if what the gang said was true then maybe they should read it.

"I think so, I mean if this is just a prank we can always close the book and forget this ever happened," Ponyboy said looking a bit uneasy. The gang nodded in agreement. "Ok, I guess I'll start." They got situated where they wanted to sit, then Ponyboy shakily turned the page.
