Hello and welcome to my latest story, please no flames i own nothing in this. I usually don't do OCs because i don't really like them normally but I kinda wanted to write this for a while and live my dream through my character.
Katherine was not your average 18 year old girl. She loved wearing jean jackets and leather jackets, wore her hair combed back and dyed black. She wore high heeled leather boots and loved anything to do with the 1960s. One night she was reading her favorite book ever, The Outsiders, and there was a bright flash and a swirl of color and before she knew what was happening she found herself still holding her book next to a rather familiar marble fountain.
"No way" she gasped, she was currently wearing her favorite leather jacket and pink crop top, blue jeans and her high heel biker boots. She had to suppress an excited squeal, she was in the book.
"Ok katherine, keep calm, you have to find out whether you are before the book takes place or after" she told herself and started walking to the Curtis house. On her way there she saw Two-Bit. He walked over to her
"Hey baby, you new around here?" he asked Leaning against a car
"Yeah, moved here from boston" said Katherine
"My name's Two-Bit, funniest guy in town" said Two-Bit
"I'm Katherine" she said
"So why'd ya move here from the big city?' asked Two-Bit, they were walking towards the Curtis house
"Change of scenery, unfortunately i haven't found a place to stay yet, I just got here" she said cooly
"Shoot, my friends the Curtis's will help ya out" smiled Two-Bit. They walked up the walk to the front door of the Curtis house, the TV could be heard all the way out here. Two-Bit walked in
"Hey Two-Bit" said Darry "Who's this?" he asked spying Katherine
"This is Katherine, she just moved here from Boston" said Two-Bit. Looking around the house Katherine immediately knew that this was long before the book by the presence of Both curtis parents. Mrs. Curtis came out of the Kitchen.
"Hello there, let me guess, Two-Bit here found you on the street, you don't have a place to stay yet?" asked Mrs. Curtis with a smile. Katherine nodded, trying to keep herself from staring at what seemed to be an 18 year old Darry Curtis.
"Well you are more than welcome to stay here" said Mrs. Curtis
"Thank you" said Katherine, she noticed most of the boys except Ponyboy looking at her in aw, she definitely looked like a greaser girl and fifteen year old Dally looked like he wanted her. She sat awkwardly on the couch as Two-Bit changed the channel to Mickey. Darry caught her eye and she blushed.
"So what do you like to do?" asked Pony
"Well, I like Movies, Books, and cooking, I make the best chocolate cake" said Katherine
" We love Chocolate cake, though Pony here is more into movies and books than the rest of us" said Soda
"Big question is do you prefer pepsi or coke?" asked Pony smiling, they were all starting to like this girl, she fit right in with them and wasn't your typical greaser girl but they all felt she would be good for the gang.
"I like both of them fine, but if I have the choice I'd normally choose Coke" she said with a shrug
"Good, then I still get the pepsi" smiled Pony
"You wouldn't mind going to the movies with Ponyboy would you? He has the bad habit of walking alone, and that's not the safest thing to do in these parts" said Mr. Curtis
"I'd be happy to, I'm also pretty good at self defense, my dad used to teach martial arts so I know a few things" said Katherine
"Perhaps you could teach our boys" said Mrs. Curtis
"Well I'm also handy with a blade, just in case" said Katherine. The gang looked like they had struck gold with this girl and were silently competing with each other for her. In the kitchen she saw a calendar on the wall, May 4, 1964. 'Perfect' she thought " I can save the curtis parents and stop windrixville from ever happening, after all, it's not like it's the same timeline as mine, I've been sucked into the book so I can alter things, it's not like it's a fixed point or something (A/N I'm a Dr. Who geek, sue me)' she smiled to herself, knowing she'd have to get a job at some point, plus she'd get to see so many important events that took place long before she was born, woodstock, the moon landing, Elvis, The beatles, the start of Scooby Do, Everything that was long before her time. Then she realized other opportunities that would come later, like investing in Apple and google and all the other multi billion dollar companies. But right now she had to focus on living without her cellphone and figuring out how to use a rotary phone, also trying to live without Harry Potter was going to be a nightmare, but seeing all the greasers talking happily, she knew she could live with it. Now her main goal was to become Darry's girlfriend, her life was going to be amazing.
