I'm changing my first chapter since Misosoop and Mars on fire said it was similar to one of Misosoop's wonderful stories. So here's the 1st chapter rewritten.

I was struggling through my Math homework. That was my worst subject. Oh My name is Samantha Bays. Or just plain Sam. I hate when people called me Sami. The only people who can call me Sami, without losing some teeth, are my two friends. But that's about it.

I have 2 sisters, a twin and an older one. I'm in 7th grade and somewhat smart. Anyway, I was doing my Homework when I heard my mom yell, "Go to bed Sam!"

I reluctantly closed my books and went to bed. I had no idea what I was going to wake up to.

I woke up on something hard. This is defiantly not my bed, I thought. I opened my eyes to see I was outside. I rubbed my eyes, not quite believing what I was seeing. I was in a lot type thing. The ground was black and very hard. My back was stiff from sleeping on it.

I stumbled slightly as I got up. All of a sudden I heard someone shout, "Kitty!"

Hm, I thought, Who's Kitty? I looked around but there was no one there.

All of a sudden, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I jumped a mile in the air and turned around. In front of me was a guy in jeans and a white t-shirt. He had red hair with sideburns and gray eyes. His hair looked like something out of Grease, you know that musical thing.

"Whoa, sorry I scared ya. Didn't you hear me calling your name Kittycat Curtis?" He asked faking to be mad at me.

Did he just call me Kittycat Curtis? I thought. "Um do I know you?" I asked. I noticed my voice sounded different, lighter kind of.

He looked at me like I was crazy. "Two-bit Mathews. You know your buddy since oh, you were 5. Over your house everyday." He said like I should know this.

Wait a minute, isn't Two-bit in a book? A book I read in October for school, the Outsiders, I think. Wasn't a Curtis family in it? Does that mean I'm a part of that family? Wait, doesn't that book take place in the 1960s? How'd I get in the 60s. Better yet, WHY am I in the 60s and how am I going to get back to 2007? Oh boy, I'm confused.

"You alright Kitty?" Two-bit asked looking worried.

I quickly made something up and smiled. "Oh yea. Sorry 'bout that Two-bit. I just woke up a minute ago. I guess I was still half asleep." I said.

He looked at me strangely before his eyes widened. "Did you sleep out here in the lot?" He asked.

"Well this is where I woke up," I said.

"Why'd you fall asleep in the lot? Couldn't of you just of slept at home?" Two-bit asked me.

I quickly made up something again. "Well I was walking out here when I saw the stars. It was nice out so I sat down and I must've fallen asleep," I said innocently.

"Yea, well your parents and brothers are probably worried sick so lets get you home," he said. Two-bit began rambling about something. I think it was about the party he was at Friday night. I noticed he kept what he was saying PG-13. I wondered why he said parents. Didn't the Curtis's parents die?

I was currently thinking about my situation. I' m in a different time, have a different name with a different family, in a BOOK, and I had no idea how I was getting back. Joy.

Just then, Two-bit opened a fence in front of a shabby looking 1 story house. He opened it for me, smiling, and saying, "Ladies first."

I rolled my eyes and followed him in the house.

"Hey Curtis's! Look who I found!" Two-bit shouted, not caring who he woke-up.

I looked to my right side to see 6 people. The oldest couple looked like they hadn't slept all night. I was guessing they were my parents. Then there were 4 other boys who were all on the couch or floor looking like they just woke up. One looked like the older man, so that must be Darry. Then there was a boy with golden hair and brown eyes. That must be Soda. Then there was a boy who looked like the youngest who had reddish-brown hair and green eyes. That must be Ponyboy. Finally the last boy was tan and had black hair. He also had some bruises. That must be Johnny, I figured.

"Um, hi?" I said. When my supposed mother saw me she ran over to me and hugged me tightly.

"Kittycat Madalynn Curtis! If you ever do that to us again, I swear I will skin you alive!" she said, relief in her voice, as she kissed the top of my head. Now imagine how awkward it is to have a complete stranger hugging and kissing your head. I didn't let it show because I knew it would hurt her.

When she was done with me she was thanking Two-bit. I was left to deal with the bigger Darry. "Kittycat, mind to explain why you were gone all night?" my 'dad' said gently.

"Well heh, funny story there," I said.

"Mind to explain Kittycat?" he asked still gently.

"Yea. Mind to explain Kitty?" Soda said doing a sad impression of my new Dad.

"It's not time to play around Soda," He said. "Well," he said turning to me.

It wondered me greatly how he could still be gentle with me when he was obviously mad at me. It was a good trait and I had to admire him for it.

I told them the story I told Two-bit. 'Dad' looked at me before putting a hand on his forehead. "You have to learn to think before you do something Kitten," he said.

Kitten? I thought it was Kittycat? I thought, well it's probably a nickname between father and child. Like Soda's Pepsi-cola. Aw! How sweet! I have a nickname too!

I just smiled innocently. He rolled his eyes before patting my head and saying, "Get dressed and get ready for school. You too boys. And Darry get ready for work."

We all groaned at the mention of school and work, except Two-bit. He said, "Aw cheer up, it's only school."

"Sorry we all don't enjoy school unlike you Two-bit," Ponyboy said. I noticed Johnny hadn't said anything yet.

I followed Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry. My feet stopped in front of a door. I opened it and guessed it was my room. The walls were white. It had a twin sized bed with purple sheets. It had a few stuffed animals on it. There was an old blue carpet covering the floor. I had an old brown night table with random stuff on it. In one corner there was a dresser with a small mirror above it. On the wall across from the door there was a closet. I went over there and looked inside. There were a bunch of jeans and about 3 jean skirts. There were also some shirts of different colors. I put on a pair of jeans and a blue shirt.

I found a brush and began brushing my hair. For some reason, it was a lot easier to brush. I soon found out. When I looked in the mirror, it took all my self control not to scream. I looked totally different. Now I'm not one to say I'm gorgeous, but I had to admit, I looked gorgeous. Instead of my shoulder length brown curly hair, I had dark gold straight hair that was mid-back. Before my eyes were dark green. Now they were a pretty blue-green. My features on my face seemed softer kind of. I also noticed I looked like I lost almost 10lbs. I couldn't complain about that. What girl would?

There was a knock on my door and then someone, I'm guessing Ponyboy shouted, "Kitty get your butt out of there, or we're going to be late for school!" Then he mumbled, "God, why can't girls spend less time getting ready in the morning?"

"HEY! I take offence to that Ponyboy!" I said.

There was a laugh before he said, "Sorry Kitty, but HURRY UP!"

I looked at my new appearance once more before putting my hair in a low ponytail. I went outside my room and looked at the house, not finding anyone.

"They're in the car sweetie," I heard my supposed mother say. I noticed I look almost exactly like her. It was kind of weird to see.

"Thanks Mom," I said. It felt weird to call someone else, mom, but I didn't let it show.

"Your welcome Kitty. See you after school," She said coming towards me. She gave me a quick motherly kiss on the cheek.

"Eew!" I said, rubbing the place where she kissed me. I figured this would be something I'd do. She just laughed and said good bye.

"Bye!" I said grabbing the books I found in my room before.

I ran outside and saw an old car. Inside it had my new brothers and Two-bit. I figured Johnny left.

When I got in I heard an exasperated, "Finally!"

I glared at Two-bit, who grinned innocently. I zoned out for the rest of the ride. All of a sudden I realized I didn't know what my classes were. This could be a problem, I thought nervously.

"Kitty, it's your stop," My new dad said.

I looked up before saying nervously, "Yea! I totally noticed."

My Dad looked at me weirdly. I rolled my eyes before going out. "See ya." I received a good-bye from each of the Curtis's and Two-bit. I got out and walked into the school, to busy to see whether I was in the middle school or the elementary school. I got quite a shock when I stopped walking in front of a 6th grade room. Why'd I come here? I thought, I'm in 7th grade, not 6th. Right?

Ok, how was this new chapter one? I personally think it was better then the first one so I thank Misosoop for suggesting I change it since it resembled her first chapter to Identity Crisis. I was in the middle of writing Chapter 9 or 10 or what ever chapter I was on when I got the e-mail so it should come out soon.
